After concentrating on the development of a month, the whole territory has undergone a qualitative change, Zhang Fan feels that this kind of life is very beautiful, the two beauties around him, one Mu Guiying, "go in and out" with himself every day, go out to brush the cottage together during the day, and come back together in the evening. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And Liu Ru is over there, she is very happy to be coaxed by herself, and every day her brother screams, and she can take advantage of it from time to time.

On this day, Zhang Fan had just come back from outside, and a person ran up to him and said.

"Lord Lord, the second child has calculated that there is a big drought in the world, so please prepare early."

Zhang Fan saw that it was Yan Xinzi, who was presiding over the Qin Heavenly Prison, this Yan Xinzi was a master-level soothsayer, Zhang Fan had not treated him very much, and probably felt that he was useless.

But Yan Xinzi worked very hard, observing the sky every night and predicting the future.

Zhang Fan frowned, of course he didn't believe in any celestial phenomena or divination, he believed in weather forecasts even more, and the weather forecasts in reality were already very accurate.

But here is the game, and there is something he has to believe.

"How sure are you?" Zhang Fan felt that this matter had to be cautious, because if it was true, it would be a disaster, at least it would greatly delay the development of the territory.

"Lord Lord, I used to watch the stars and divination, and I had accurately predicted several disasters, but this time I had the bonus of Qin Tianjian, so I was more sure, so I didn't dare to hesitate, and I hurried to inform the lord." Yan Xinzi said to Zhang Fan solemnly.

"Okay, hard work Master Yan, I don't know if you predicted the approximate time of the drought." Zhang Fan paid attention to it, and even changed his title, he had gone to Qin Tianjian once before, and he could be regarded as expressing his support.

"Lord Lord, my subordinates feel that it should come soon, because my subordinates have not yet been able to predict what will happen in the long term." Yan Xinzi said.

Zhang Fan did not dare to slack off, no matter whether there was a drought or not, he must always be prepared first.

Zhang Fan invited Yan Xinzi to the political center, and then called Yu Qian and asked Yan Xinzi to tell Yu Qian what he had observed before leaving.

"Lord, no matter what, we should be prepared in advance, after all, food is related to the security of the entire territory."

"Well, let's sort out the situation in the territory first." Zhang Fan said.

Yu Qian nodded and began to analyze: "My lord, our territory currently has a population of 380,000, and the daily consumption of grain is 1140000 units of grain. ”

When Zhang Fan heard this figure, more than 1.1 million units of grain per day was indeed a great pressure.

"Our current population engaged in agriculture is about 5%, that is, about 19,000 people, because we carry out agricultural technology reform, the use of wild cattle and new types of quyuan ploughs, no one can plough 50 acres of land every day, there is a 10-day cultivation period every month, then a person does not plough 500 acres of land, Heisei per mu of land is to produce 100 units of grain, but we have the bonus of the village and the first title in the world, as well as our water conservancy facilities, each mu can produce 180 units of grain, So we can produce 1.71 billion units of grain a month. ”

"These 1.71 billion units of grain are enough for our whole village to eat for two or three years, but this is only an ideal state, because in fact, many farmers are arranged to cultivate halfway, so in fact, not so many people can actually produce food, in addition, our village has a large number of new people every day, Wanghai Town and the other two villages have more than 2,000 people a day, more than 60,000 people a month. However, the daily fishing and food harvests are sufficient to feed these new populations. ”

"So after calculation, our grain reserves are enough for our territory to use for about a year, and the food problem is still safe." Yu Qian helped Zhang Fan calculate carefully and came to a conclusion.

Yu Qian and Zhang Fan both understood that in fact, this data, after calculation, would not last for a year at all, because there were too many new populations, and they would consume a lot of food at the beginning.

Moreover, the population growth rate will accelerate in the future, and according to the plan, the population engaged in agriculture will continue to decrease, and fewer people will have to feed more people, so food must still be taken seriously.

"My lord, in this way, if the drought reduces grain production, in the long run, it will still have a great impact on us, and we must put more people into agricultural production."

Zhang Fan thought for a while and said: "Whether it's true or not, let's take action first, first, dig more ponds and wells, plus we have water wheels, we should be able to minimize the damage of the drought." The other is to buy food in the market. How much money do we have in our account now? ”

"Lord, although we have more than 10,000 gold coins in our hands now, we don't need to buy food at all, we can survive in advance." Yu Qian said.

"No, food is not bought to survive the crisis, but to take the opportunity to raise the price of food."

Yu Qian listened, and there was some resistance in his heart, at this time, he could indeed raise the price of grain, take the opportunity to make a profit, maybe he would make a lot of money, but he felt that he had to invest a lot of money, and now that the town is developing rapidly, it is the time to use money, and the benefits of doing so are not very many.

Yu Qian just wanted to persuade, Zhang Fan continued: "Fry the grain, our waterwheel and cattle can open the market, now the waterwheel has been overproduced, and the cattle are also very sufficient, but the price of ten gold coins, the sales volume is still limited, and when the price of grain is high, our waterwheel and cattle should also be sold in large quantities." ”

Yu Qian shuddered, feeling that Zhang Fan's plan was too wonderful, he paid attention to the development of the territory, but these things were ignored, Zhang Fan said so, and he agreed to Zhang Fan's plan.

Zhang Fan plans to take out 10,000 gold coins to buy grain, 10,000 gold coins is 100 million copper coins, and the current price of grain in the market is almost 8 copper coins per unit, so you can buy more than 10 million units of grain, even if Zhang Fan buys food prices after a large purchase, but it doesn't matter, if the price rises again, it will not be too outrageous.

After it was confirmed, Zhang Fan planned to start the operation, and at the same time, Yu Qian suggested that Ye Chen sell some materials such as wood and stone, what Yu Qian said was a first-class material.

Nowadays, there is a lot of accumulation of these materials in Wanghai Town, especially wood, due to the capture of a large amount of timber by the pirates, plus the dismantling of the captured warships, so there is also a large amount of wood.

There are a lot of other stones, such as wood, and millions of units of wood alone, so Yu Qian suggested taking advantage of the current high price to sell a large number of them, so that the funds will not affect the development of the territory.

Just do it, Zhang Fan began to open the market and sweep the goods, and having money in his hand could make him take a good time.
