Chapter 222: Whoever Has Food, Who Boss (Three Watches)
Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Yan Yunge used old grain to repay debts and successfully completed this year's Shaofu debt repayment task.
The second prince Xiao Chengwen was there, and she concocted it in the same way.
In a word, if you want food, you can!
But there is only stale grain.
Think stale grain is not good?
I'm sorry, but I can't get enough food this year.
Everybody's going to eat!
Otherwise, there are still some crop poles in the field where the harvest has failed, so you can use them casually.
Xiao Chengwen smiled angrily.
"Take Chen Liang to perfunctory His Royal Highness, she is not small."
The ghost only knows how long the Chen Liang in Yanyun Singer has been released.
A year?
Two years?
Or three years?
Is there any mold and spoilage?
This kind of grain can't be sold at all in peaceful years.
Even poor families, as long as they have the slightest way, will not buy this kind of food to satisfy their hunger.
This year's drought has made life difficult, and the old grain that cannot be sold on weekdays has suddenly become fragrant and sweet.
can be used to pay off debts.
Xiao Chengwen pondered for a moment and instructed Father-in-law Fei, "You tell Yan Yunge that Chen Liang doesn't want it." If she is willing to use this year's new grain to repay her debts, fifty percent, His Royal Highness only needs her fifty percent of the grain. ”
Grandpa Fei said cautiously: "Miss Yan Si asked people to spread the word, saying that not a single grain of new grain will be shipped out of the warehouse this year. ”
Xiao Chengwen frowned, "Did she really say that?" ”
Father-in-law Fei nodded again and again, "It's better for the old slave to contact Ling Changzhi." The Ling family has enough food, but the road is far away, and there is a lot of loss when it is transported to the capital. ”
Xiao Chengwen picked up the abacus and calculated an account.
This year's drought has reduced grain production and prices have skyrocketed.
At present, the price of grain has risen to two cents a load.
When the autumn harvest is over, the price of grain will rise, perhaps to three times a load.
Buying grain from the Ling family, the cost is not daring to be calculated, the amount is too amazing.
The loss alone has to consume about half.
It's not a good deal.
With this money, it is better to go directly to Yan Yunge to buy food, so there is no loss.
Xiao Chengwen said to Father-in-law Fei: "Find Yan Yunge and tell her that the new grain is forty percent." Forty percent of the grain is used to pay off the debt for the whole year, which is the biggest concession of His Highness. Hugh will fool His Highness with old grain. In addition, the Ling family can contact them privately, but you don't want to come forward. Send a random grain merchant to show up. ”
"The old slave obeys!"
……
"Forty percent of the new grain to pay off the debt? He dreamed! ”
got the message from the prince's mansion, and Yan Yunge vetoed it.
Nowadays, whoever has food is the boss.
Fugui Villa has reduced production and is under great pressure, but she has food for Yan Yunge.
There's a lot of grain in the warehouse.
It's just that there is less new grain and more old grain.
The new grain is fragrant and gluttonous, and she can sell a large amount of money, how can she use the new grain to pay off her debts.
Dream!
"Tell the messenger that this girl has not had a single grain of new grain this year, only old grain. Love or not. ”
She wouldn't look at the face of her second sister, so she would be polite to Xiao Chengwen.
In business, one yard is one yard.
At the beginning, Xiao Chengwen helped her negotiate with Shaofu and helped her open up the wasteland, and she was very grateful.
So he promised to give him 2,000 loads of grain for nothing every year, and he would not receive a penny. Even the shipping costs are borne by themselves.
For several years, she had no complaints.
But not this year!
In the years of famine, she can keep her promises, but the premise can only be old grain.
I don't want to think about how expensive food is now.
Two thousand quintals of grain, even if it is old grain, can be exchanged for thousands of dollars.
These days, money is worth a lot.
Purchasing power is extremely strong.
Whoever wants to have a few thousand yuan of money, enough to be a landlord with cards in the local area, and after a few years of development, he may become a local tyrant.
You must know that even in the years when the wind and rain were good, the annual tax of the Great Wei Dynasty was only three to five million yuan.
This amount of money can meet all the expenses of the court, inside and out.
It is conceivable how strong the purchasing power of money is in these years, and it is really durable.
Just this year, inflation, the purchasing power of money has been greatly reduced.
When the natural disaster passes, it will only take three months to half a year for prices to drop again. Money will still be durable.
Between Yan Yunge and Xiao Chengwen, they both chose to send someone to pass the word, rather than sit down face-to-face to talk.
There's no need!
Obviously, I can't talk about it, and it hurts my face to sit down and talk.
Yan Yunge is not in a hurry, the initiative is in her hands.
She has food, she's the boss.
Xiao Chengwen is not in a hurry, he is scarce of food in Yanyun singers, but he is not in a hurry to the point of waiting for the rice to be cooked.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and no one refused to give in, but they only suffered the subordinates who passed the word in the middle.
Yan Yunqi also knew about this.
She didn't intervene.
When I met with my fourth sister Yan Yunge, I didn't even mention a word about it.
When she chatted with her subordinates, she said: "Business matters are naturally in business. It's not appropriate for me to help anyone. Help Your Highness, my sister will definitely blame me. Help my sister, Your Highness must have an idea. It's better to pretend that you don't know anything and let them talk about it themselves. Moreover, His Royal Highness and the fourth sister also made it clear that they didn't want irrelevant people to interfere in this matter. ”
"Madame is not worried about the conflict between His Royal Highness and the four girls, so she will turn her face directly?"
"No, it won't. His Royal Highness and the fourth sister are both people who know how to measure, even if the business can't be negotiated, they won't turn their faces. ”
……
Yan Yunge finally went to Fugui Villa.
After all, it is your own industry, no matter how frightened and unsightly, you have to take a look.
The new grain was put into storage, looking at the granary that was not full, Yan Yunge was very helpless.
Yan Sui flipped through the account book and directly gave her a number, "All grain production has been reduced." The reduction in rice yield is particularly serious, with a direct reduction of 70%. It can maintain 30% of the yield, thanks to the pond with enough water during spring planting. Otherwise, this year's rice harvest, like in other places, will be lost. ”
Yan Yunge suddenly felt a toothache.
The output was reduced by 70 percent, and the quality of the new grain produced by 30 percent was also very poor.
How did you spend this year?
She immediately ordered, "Everyone's wages will be reduced by another forty percent." Let's overcome the difficulties together. ”
She couldn't help it.
She has food, but no one is sure how long the drought will last.
There will come a time when the food will run out.
What if the food runs out and the drought persists?
Preparing for a rainy day can only ensure everyone's basic survival needs now.
Who let the accumulation of Nirvana not enough.
In just a few years, it is really not as good as a family with a deep heritage.
For example, the Ling family, let alone a year of drought, even if it is a drought for ten years, the Ling family does not have to worry about food.
A family of hundreds of years, the depth of the heritage, the richness of the accumulation, others can hardly imagine.
Anyway, Yan Yunge has already begun to worry about food, and the Ling family can continue to sing and dance.
That's the gap!
Yan Sui heard that the salary was reduced by forty percent, opened his mouth, and finally did not make a sound.
Ji Ping proposed: "It's better to clean up some people and go out." The autumn harvest is busy, and there is basically nothing to do at the end of the year. Feeding so many people is stressful and food-consuming. ”
Yan Sui sighed, he couldn't refute Ji Ping's proposal.
The grain production was reduced by seventy percent, which made him lose his confidence.
Yan Yunge grabbed a handful of soybeans.
Drought and lack of water, soybean quality is not good.
It is used to make sauces and soy sauces, all of which belong to the lower grades.
She let go of her hand, and the soybeans tumbled down.
"Build ditches, build ponds," she said. Find a way to bring water in from Weishui. ”
Ji Ping was shocked, "Girl, it costs a lot to do this, it's simply astronomical." How can we rely on Nirvana Villa to undertake such a large project? ”
It's not that I don't want to build ditches, I dream about it.
It's just that the amount of work is too large to afford.
Yan Yunge said: "I want to find a way to get a sum of money from the imperial court. ”
It's just, who should she owe a favor?
It is not easy to get money from the imperial court.
Should she owe the favor of the second prince Xiao Chengwen, or the favor of Ling Changzhi, or the favor of the concubine Liu Baoping?
Anyway, she wouldn't owe Yan Yunquan a favor.
Because, Yan Yunquan has no ability to influence the decisions of the imperial court at all, especially when it comes to major events such as the construction of water conservancy projects.
Among the people she knows, Xiao Chengwen, Ling Changzhi, and even Liu Baoping have the ability to do this.
It's just that the favor is too great.
Headache!
What's even more headache is that twine, silk thread, and cotton are also facing reduced yields.
This means that the weaving workshop is deprived of raw materials for weaving.
At the end of this year, Yan Yunge was counting on cloth to make money.
Without raw materials, what weaving cloth does she take and what does she rely on to make money?
It's a disaster.
Sure enough, the damage of drought is much more serious than that of floods.
The worst thing is that it lasts too long.
All crops, cash crops, have been reduced, so don't eat this year.
"Isn't there a great astrologer who looks at the heavens and determines when the drought will end?"
Yan Yunge sent out a torture from the soul.
Where have all the awesome astrologers gone these days?
Could it be that they all hid in the mountains and refused to go out of the mountains during the drought years?
She was ruthless in her heart, "Say that you want to get a great astrologer in the future and keep it by your side." ”
There is a shortage of talents!
Yan Yunge went to the square and walked around, even the people who worked in the villa had dishes on their faces.
Life is difficult, everyone has to save food, cut food from the ration and save it.
Maybe at some point, the food saved can save lives.
Meat, can't afford to eat.
oil, also can not afford to eat.
Daily gruel pickles, as long as you can fill your stomach.
Therefore, everyone has a dish.
This is true of those who work every day and have access to food.
Outside the villa, those yeoman farmers and tenants can imagine the miserable life of those tenants.
Everyone wants to have savings.
However, the vast majority of families do not have any savings.
They don't have even the slightest bit of resilience.
As soon as the natural disaster came, the house was directly broken.
"Saving is important!" Yan Yunge muttered.
Yan hurriedly asked, "What does the girl command?" ”
Yan Yunge shook his head, "The warehouse will be guarded by more than twice as many personnel and set up a forbidden area. No strange faces are allowed to approach the workshop and warehouse. The blacksmith workshop moved, and more weapons were played. At each pass, additional personnel were assigned to defend it.
"Girl worried?"
Yan Yunge said solemnly: "The autumn harvest is over, what will be the harvest this year, everyone knows it in their hearts. Winter is coming, and if you don't want to die, you have to take advantage of this season to move and save a sum of food for the winter. Where does the food come from? Is there any other way than to rob?
Presumably, many people have already set their sights on Nirvana Villa. Strictly investigate the homeless tenants, and once they find that someone is in contact with the homeless people outside, they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, and drive them all away. The local villagers should not let their guard down, and perhaps some of them will be in contact with the bandits in the mountains. ”
