255. Food Emergency? What to do?
After Qin Feng came to the palace of the Shang Dynasty, all the officials also saluted Qin Feng respectfully.
After seeing this, Qin Feng also nodded slightly.
"Now what's going on with our Flame Empire?"
"If there's anything wrong with the development, tell me about it right away."
After hearing Qin Feng's words again, these officials were also slightly stunned.
You must know that in the past few decades, Qin Feng has always ignored the government.
It is precisely because of this that the current Flame Empire is getting worse and worse.
However, the officials can also understand Qin Feng.
After all, in the eyes of many people, the love empire has no possibility of developing now, and it may be swallowed up by the other two empires at some time.
So in this case, Qin Feng, as the emperor, still enjoy life.
After all, if the Flame Empire was really wiped out by the other two empires, then Qin Feng, as the emperor, would definitely have only one way to die.
Now that he has asked about the country's thoughts again, it naturally makes many people feel a little confused in their hearts.
However, there are still many officials who suddenly feel very happy in their hearts.
In their hearts, of course, they also hope that the Flame Empire can develop better and better.
It was precisely because of this that no matter what Qin Feng was for, when he said such a thing, he still came over immediately.
"Your Majesty, now our Flame Empire is decreasing its grain output year by year due to drought for many years."
"Judging from the current situation, our grain output may only last for about half a year."
"If we don't get new food during this time, we're going to die."
After hearing this, the other officials couldn't help but sigh.
In their hearts, they are naturally full of worries.
This problem is not so easy to solve.
After all, even if the Flame Empire were in good weather, it would take at least half a year for the new grain to be produced.
But now the drought situation in the Flame Empire has not been alleviated in any way.
In this case, I am afraid that this year's grain production will become even lower, and it will be a drop in the bucket to solve the problem at that time.
After Qin Feng heard this, his brows also frowned slightly involuntarily.
He didn't expect that he would face such a big problem when he first came to this world.
If it were someone else, I wouldn't know how to solve such a situation.
However, for Qin Feng, this problem is relatively easy to solve.
After all, there are still a lot of sweet potatoes in his ring space, as long as everyone is allowed to plant these sweet potatoes, then there will be a very large yield in three months.
It is important to know that sweet potatoes are a relatively drought-tolerant crop, so it is not particularly difficult to solve the problem.
It was precisely because of these thoughts in his heart that the corners of Qin Feng's mouth also smiled slightly.
"You will follow me to the treasury in a moment."
"There are some seeds for new crops there, and if you plant those seeds, you can produce a batch of food in three months."
"The yield of these grains will be higher than that of other crops."
"So for us, it's definitely enough to get through this crisis."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, all the officials couldn't help but start whispering.
Because of its geographical location, as long as it is a good weather, the food produced by his Flame Empire is also the most food among the three empires.
But if the ups and downs are worse, then the impact on them will be greater.
Now Qin Feng actually said that there were crops with higher grain yields, which made them feel a little incredulous.
Especially the official who spoke before couldn't help but sigh, his eyes were full of disappointment.
Now this problem is indeed very difficult.
Since he knew that this problem was difficult to solve, why did he bother to tell such a thing to this incompetent emperor?
It seems that the emperor has no choice, so he will lie in front of everyone.
How is it possible to have a higher yield of crops?
It is precisely because of these thoughts in their hearts that in the hearts of these officials, they do not particularly believe what Qin Feng said.
It's just that Qin Feng is also the emperor of the Flame Empire after all, so naturally no one dares to object to what he said.
Naturally, that official could only nod and agree.
After seeing this, the corners of Qin Feng's mouth smiled slightly.
After a few more words with all the officials, he walked in the direction of the treasury with the official.
At this time, several other officials in the imperial court gathered together in absentia, and their brows were also slightly furrowed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that our majesty is a little different today."
"He hasn't dealt with state affairs for a long time, but now he is ready to ask about state affairs again."
"He also said that there can be very high yields of grain."
"If we can really produce a lot of food in three months, then this food crisis will be safely overcome."
"In this way, it will be very difficult for those of us to take advantage of the food crisis to make another fortune."
"Now let's discuss how to solve this problem."
As one of them finished speaking, several officials next to him also nodded slightly.
But at this time, an official next to him really couldn't help but snort coldly.
"I think this guy is just bluffing right now."
"He also said that there are higher yielding crops, how is that possible?"
"Even if the geographical location of our Flame Empire is very good, it takes about half a year for the grain to mature."
"Have you ever heard of grain that matures in three months?"
"So we don't need to worry about this issue at all, and we should immediately find a way to smuggle some food from other countries."
"When all the people have eaten the food in their hands, it will be the time when we can get rich."
After hearing these words, several other officials thought about it and felt that it was also based on this reason, and it was precisely because of this that their faces were full of smiles.
At this time, Qin Feng led the previous official to the treasury.
After opening the door of the treasury and seeing the mountains of sweet potatoes, the official was stunned.
Is it all food?
Even if this grain is not able to reach the yield that His Majesty said, it will be able to support all the people for a few more months.
