Chapter 676: Proposal to build a granary

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the event of a sudden flood, the people were not prepared at all, not only will the houses be flooded, but the land will also be lost! Nearly 100,000 victims of the disaster, the daily consumption of food alone is huge, we must solve this matter first, and then slowly track down the matter of the dam breach! ”

"The minister suggested opening a warehouse to release grain, transporting it to Jiaodong County by train, and then transporting it to Huiji County by boat, which can save a lot of time!"

"The minister seconded the proposal, so that in about three days, those victims will be able to get the food distributed by the imperial court and solve the immediate ......!"

Wang Ben, Zhang Han and others spoke one after another, suggesting that the warehouse be opened and released to solve the urgent task.

Otherwise, once a large number of people freeze to death and starve to death, it will not be easy to do!

"Didi ......"

As soon as the old guys finished speaking, the telegraph sounded again.

The telegraph operator struggled to analyze and reported to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, Feng Shangshu suggested opening a warehouse and releasing grain!" ”

The heroes see the same thing, and when a disaster occurs, the first thing the old goods can think of is to put food!

Let's stabilize the victims first!

"Accurate!"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and answered.

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator was ordered to press the telegraph and transmit His Majesty's order back to Xianyang.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, now that the transportation is very developed, the food for disaster relief will definitely be delivered to the victims in the shortest possible time!"

The veterans were relieved.

"Hmmm! The Ministry of Destiny issued an order that no official is allowed to withhold disaster relief food without permission, and if it is discovered by me, it will be killed! ”

When such a big thing happened suddenly, Ying Zheng was very angry, and every word he said was gritted his teeth.

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator hurriedly sent a telegram to Xianyang.

Listening to the ticking sound of the telegraph, the local official waiting outside the door said with emotion.

"This telegram is really convenient, otherwise, Your Majesty is far away in our city, how can we receive the news of the flood so quickly?"

"Yes! It would be nice if we could also install a telegraph here, and it would be much more convenient to report any news at that time! ”

"Wait patiently, it is estimated that it won't be long before the imperial court will install a ...... for us too!"

Telegraph machines are capable of delivering messages quickly.

Especially in the imperial court, the use will be more extensive!

"Alright, you all go down!"

The things that should be explained are almost explained, Ying Zheng waved his hand and ordered the telegraph operators to go down with the telegraph.

And he himself was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking very irritable!

"Father, you don't have to be too anxious, this is a natural disaster, and it is not something we can predict in advance! No one wants such a thing to happen, but there is no way! ”

Ying Feiyu was given a headache by the scumbag father, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.

"I also understand the truth, but this time there are too many people affected by the disaster, and the implication is too wide!"

Ying Zheng was still frowning, worried.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, no matter how strong the manpower is, it will not be able to resist the natural disaster!"

The old goods also opened their mouths to convince them, but Yingzheng just didn't listen.

He had just completed the Zen Sealing Ceremony here, and there was such a big flood over there, I don't know if it was a sign of something?

When the people of the other counties found out, they didn't know what to say!

"Father, in front of nature, human beings are very small, they can only take more precautions, but they can never avoid ......!"

Ying Feiyu thought for a moment and continued: "Father, the son suggests building large granaries in various counties and counties to stock up on some grain that is convenient for storage, so that even if there is any unexpected situation, it can be dealt with in the shortest possible time!" ”

"Hmmm! That's a good idea, but where does the food come from? Ease the taxes of the people, but you kid proposed! ”

Ying Zheng nodded approvingly, but then he was sad.

"It's the son's proposal, yes, you can store food, and you can't only rely on the taxes paid by the people! With the rise of industry and commerce in Daqin, the factories of Erchen alone paid a lot of taxes every year, and they could use the silver money paid by merchants to buy people's grain and hoard it! ”

"Well, that's a solution!"

Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you hoard all the grain, won't the people have no food in their hands?"

Kang Anping frowned and asked suspiciously.

"I said Lao Kang, can you stop practicing martial arts on weekdays, take some time, and read some books?"

Before Ying Feiyu could speak, Chun Yuyue beside Kang Anping couldn't listen to it.

"Reading? What does this have to do with reading? ”

Kang Anping was puzzled.

"It must be related! You think, practice martial arts to train your muscles, read more books, and enrich your brain, which is not much bigger than a bean! ”

"You...... What do you mean by that? ”

Kang Anping knew that this old man was mocking his small brain.

But what does this have to do with the people selling grain and having no food?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, take a look, do you still blame me for saying him?"

Seeing that he hadn't reacted yet, Chun Yuyue was really helpless, "Let me ask you, if you need a thousand catties of grain a year......!" ”

"A thousand pounds? How can that be enough? ”

Chun Yuyue wanted to give an example, but was interrupted by Kang Anping in a serious manner.

"What if, what if you don't understand?"

Chun Yu is better than he is, and the suspension makes him angry.

"Even if you don't have enough!"

"Okay! Is 10,000 catties okay? Hold you out! ”

"Hmmm! That's barely the same! ”

Kang Anping nodded, and Chun Yuyue continued: "If you need 10,000 catties of grain a year, and you produce 20,000 catties in the field, how much will you sell?" ”

"Do you need to ask? Sell for 10,000 catties, no matter how you say it, I can't miss my own food! ”

"Then if this year's grain harvest fails, what if only 8,000 catties will be produced?"

"That's a fart, I don't have enough to eat!"

Kang Anping didn't think about it and blurted out.

"That's right! That's it! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant to buy grain from the people in order to enrich the granaries of various places! And not to grab food! If people have surplus food, they can sell some of it, and they can also exchange it for money to supplement their families! If they don't have enough food to eat, they won't sell it! ”

After Chun Yuyue finished speaking, he didn't forget to glance at him.

"Oh! Ha ha! That's right! ”

After such an explanation, Kang Anping suddenly understood, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Nowadays, people grow high-yield grain, and almost every family will have surplus grain, I believe that it will not be difficult to buy grain!"

Zhang Han very much agreed with this proposal.

If granaries are set up in various places and grain are hoarded, where there will be another disaster, there is no need to travel thousands of miles to transfer grain from Xianyang, which can save a lot of time!

"Hmmm! When I return to Xianyang, I will immediately order all counties to do it! ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and immediately settled the matter.

"Father, now that the Zen Sealing Ceremony has ended, when will we return to Xianyang?"

Ying Feiyu asked.

"Whew......!"

"I don't plan to go back to Xianyang for the time being!"

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and said with a sad face.

"Don't go back to Xianyang? So where to go? ”

"Go to Nanzhou City ......!"
