As one of the largest restaurants in Ning'an County, Yuhe Restaurant is full of customers on weekdays, but today it is crowded, and only some readers with foreign accents are in some private rooms.

In the upper room of Tianzihao, twelve scholars were drinking and chatting. Among these people were one Hanlin, seven Jinshi and four Juren, and they wore the style of Qiguo.

"I'm afraid that Fang Xusheng is in a catastrophe this time. ”

"If you want to blame him, blame him for participating in the battle for the Holy Dao too early, forcing the Zong family and Liu Shan to block it with all their might. ”

However, he could obviously give up the two subjects of people's livelihood and agriculture, and spend his own money to let the dragon clan use the swallowing sea shells to buy grain in various places to help the people, but he has no such plan so far, which shows that he does not care about the life and death of the people. ”

"This is a bad statement, the matter is not until the last moment, you must not make up your mind early!"

"Fanming has praised Fang Xusheng many times, and I naturally know that Fang Xusheng is only eight buckets high, but if Ning'an County really starves to death, he can't escape the blame! Of course, one qiē is only possible, as for whether to be benevolent or profitable, it depends on how he chooses. ”

"Rising food prices are not just a problem, they are the beginning of a series of problems. For example, if the workers of a private weaving workshop want to eat, and now the price of food is high, they will ask for higher wages, and the owner will pay a higher wage, and the price of the cloth will be more expensive, and the price of the cloth in the market will rise, and the person who buys the cloth will have to spend more money. The same is true for other miscellaneous items, and everything that involves labor wages will increase in price. ”

"Yes, extremely. The price of daily necessities will rise, but the non-necessities will be miserable, and if no one buys them, they will not be able to support themselves, and they will not have enough to eat. ”

"For example, the price of our wine and food is scary!"

"Therefore, this time the test of the other party's Void Saint is extremely great, it depends on whether he can pass it. ”

"Tomorrow's Medical Daoist Literary Society. I'm afraid some people will say that under Fang Yun's rule, the people are not happy. ”

"Don't be afraid of anything else, but you're afraid of starving to death. ”

Fang Yun, who was far away in the yamen, looked at the latest price transmission sent by the staff and frowned.

Not only the price of grain has risen, but the price of many commodities such as vegetables, meat, and alcohol has begun to skyrocket, and labor costs have also begun to increase.

The price of coarse grains is already close to half of the price of vegetables, which is very dangerous.

Unlike the later generations when planting and animal husbandry were developed, the Shengyuan Continent at this time was somewhat similar to the ancient Huaxia Valley Kingdom, where most of the food depended on grain, and ordinary people did not eat meat several times a year. Like soybean oil, rapeseed oil is extremely expensive, and it is impossible for ordinary people to use oil to make vegetables.

In the Shengyuan Continent, most of the land is used to grow grain, and there are very few vegetable fields, and the price of vegetables is extremely high. Even if ordinary people can eat fresh wild vegetables and vegetables, they are only eaten raw or hot, fried or fried, which is the way of eating in large households.

Vegetables are perishable and difficult to transport, so they are often made into pickles. Together with whole grains, they form the recipe of ordinary people.

The south is better, the climate is suitable, the plant species are abundant, and wild vegetables are available in all seasons. But in places like Ning'an County. At this time, there is no way to grow vegetables, and after the vegetables that can be kept fresh from other places are transported here, they will inevitably be quickly bought up by large households, almost catching up with the price of meat.

Fang Yun sighed lightly. If you don't see it yourself, it's hard to imagine that the life of ordinary people in ancient times was so difficult. However, although the Shengyuan Continent is close to the Sui Dynasty era of the ancient Chinese kingdom. But the species were not as poor as the Sui Dynasty, and many species had already entered the Shengyuan Continent in advance.

Moreover, the output of those vegetables and fruits is limited, and it is impossible to reduce grain fields or waste a lot of manpower for them, so ordinary people can rarely eat them, at least they can eat them often.

After reading the biography, Fang Yun once again read the newly edited "Treatise on the Plague" to find omissions.

Tomorrow is March 19, and it is also the day when Ning'an County holds a medical and Taoist meeting.

Different from the ordinary Xiaowen Society, the Medical Dao Cultural Society will be held for three days, and the theme is Fang Yun's "Treatise on the Plague".

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Fang Yun fell asleep.

March 19 is the day of the Medical Taoist Literary Association, and it is also the day personally selected by Fang Yun.

The venue of the Medical Dao Cultural Society is located in the Holy Temple Square of the Prefectural Literary Center, and since yesterday, the officers and soldiers have been setting up the venue to try not to have the slightest problem.

The doctor is an important pillar of the human race, and this medical Taoist meeting has been rare for many years, so it has attracted a large number of doctors from ten countries.

When the time comes, the scholars of the Medical Palace will hold the rare Xulou Bead and record the whole process, and then they will go to various ancient places outside the Shengyuan Continent to broadcast it, so that the medical families in other places can learn the most advanced knowledge of the human race.

At nightfall, the entire cultural society will be lit up to welcome the doctors and scholars of the Terran countries.

However, the atmosphere in Quanningan County is extremely depressing.

Early in the morning, as soon as Fang Yun finished washing, he received bad news from Cai He, the prefect of Qingwu Mansion.

Last night, General Yingyang Lan Xungu said in public that if Fang Yun could not solve the problem of grain prices in Ning'an County, he could lend a hand. Lan Xungu said that the reason why he didn't make a move was because he took care of Fang Yun's face, since some people made rumors that Zuo Xiang deliberately caused the food disaster in Ning'an County, Lan Xungu was willing to sell grain at a low price in the name of the Eagle Yang Army in a few days.

The news has spread through the streets and alleys of Ning'an County.

"It's all calculations. If you let the Eagle Yang Army come forward, it will be tantamount to admitting that the county is incompetent, not only can the Left Prime Minister's party attack you, but even the people of Ning'an County will feel that you have no way to govern and put the blame on the Left Prime Minister. Moreover, this food disaster rebellion was solved with the help of the military, at least one section of people's livelihood, and this year should not be on the second grade. Ao Huang sighed softly.

Fang Yun nodded and said, "Eat." ”

Ao Huang rolled his eyes and said, "What's the chaos outside, you are leisurely." The price of coarse grains has risen to six times the usual level! A large number of poor people have hoarded coarse grains. The price of those fine grains is not as exaggerated as the increase, but it is still more expensive than coarse grains. If this continues, the price of coarse grain may rise to seven times by noon! Fang Yun, I am afraid that this price will go down in history!"

"Anyway, the historians have brains, and they won't put the blame for the price increase on me. Even if it stinks for 10,000 years, it stinks from the left. ”

"However, if you can't solve it, the stinky one will be replaced by you!"

Fang Yun was about to speak, when a voice of spring thunder spread throughout the city.

"The people of Ning'an City are a little restless, the matter of grain prices, I and other Mizhou officials have been paying attention, and the Eagle Yang Army is ready to open a warehouse and sell grain at a flat price. It's just that the ruler of Ning'an County is Fang Yun, once the Eagle Yang Army sells grain at a low price, the palace test will definitely determine that Fang County is incompetent and lower his palace test rating, so Fang Xusheng may not agree. Whether the palace test of the Fang County Order is important, or the lives of the people of Ning'an County are important, it will be decided by the Fang County Order himself. Here, the old man asked in the capacity of the transfer director, Fang County Order, is your palace test important, or is the life of the people in Ning'an County important?"

Geng Ge flashed his sword. (To be continued......)
