For several days, Yao Yu stayed in the ice factory.

Under his guidance and the polishing of time, the workers collected nitrate much faster, and the number of ice cubes produced also increased several times.

Not to mention anything else, it is enough for the people of Gangneung City.

Of course, for 100,000 people, these tens of thousands of catties are still less, but something is better than nothing, this summer, it can be said that the people have the most comfortable summer.

And in the busy past few days, basically, the farmland in Jingzhou has almost been harvested.

The 800,000 households, not counting the 200,000 households that migrated later, had a total of about 2.4 million mu of cultivated land, and the combined harvest of grain and grass exceeded 6 million stones, that is, 600 million catties of grain.

To be honest, this harvest was already high in ancient times, after all, there was not as much organic fertilizer and high-yield hybrid rice as in modern times.

What's more, this is only the harvest of the first half of the year.

After this season, 800,000 households will be able to cultivate in the second half of the year, and when the time comes, 3.2 million mu of land, to say the least, will be 8 million stones.

After deducting the 1.4 million stone of grain to be handed over to the government, the grain in the hands of the common people will be about 12.6 million stone.

Jingzhou's population is about 4 million, not counting the children and the elderly who have little food, according to the food consumption of 3 million adults, and in a year, about 10 million stone of grain can be left in the people.

Thinking of this amount, Yao Yu couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.

Of course, the estimate of the extra grain of 10 million stone may be a bit high, after all, the land is not the same as the land, and some of the land has low fertility, and the harvest is not so exaggerated.

But no matter what you say, after this year, the people will have food in their hands, and that will be safe.

Even if you don't plant in the second half of the year, the harvest in the first half of the year alone will be enough for the people to eat and wear.

It can be expected that within a few days, the price of grain in Jingzhou will be reduced on a large scale.

In the past, the sky-high price of grain at the same price of gold can already begin to say goodbye.

In fact, food prices in Gangneung have been falling like a roller coaster ride these days.

Yao Yu is not worried about the market, and the decline in grain prices means that the people have grain stocks in their hands, which is a reflection of better living conditions.

No, as long as Yao Yu appeared on the market in the past few days, none of the people who saw him didn't say yes.

In the past, whoever could have ten catties of grain in their hands could be regarded as rich peasants.

But now you see, whose granary is not full?

And all of this was brought by Yao Yu.

No, after the harvest is over, the people have nothing to do and buy ice cubes.

Of course, Yao Yu didn't just sell ice cubes, he tried his best to make ice cream for future generations.

In fact, it is said to be ice cream, but it is just the shape of condensing the sugar water into a cube, putting it in a box surrounded by ice cubes, and setting up a peddling point on the street to sell it to the outside to make some extra money.

Yao Yu is not worried about the lack of sales, after all, the food is abundant and the material life is satisfied, and everyone will still enjoy it more or less.

Don't you see, because of the decline in grain prices, the prices of wine markets in various parts of Jingzhou have also begun to fall.

After all, food is cheaper, and the cost of brewing is even lower.

For this reason, many people have begun to find ways to sell food and wine to other places.

Although the princes around Yao Yu are either enemies, they are potential threats. The people's move has the disadvantage of increasing the enemy's strength, but Yao Yu is still very happy to be able to bring foreign exchange.

In addition, the people sell to make money, and they can also collect some taxes to supplement the treasury.

Because of this, Yao Yu also maintained an attitude of opening one eye and closing one eye.

To put it simply, Jingzhou's finances are rising steadily.

···

The one million stone grain promised to Lianghu had been loaded into trucks and prepared, and a large part of it was bought by Yao Yu from the people out of his own pocket.

Looking at the truckload of grain loading on the side of Jiangling City, Lianghu couldn't be more excited in his heart.

After waiting for so long, it is finally not a waste, so much food is enough for your own tribe to eat for a long time.

"Lianghu General, after you go back this time, don't forget to tell Brother Tuoba about my conditions."

On the shore, Yao Yu pulled Lianghu and said.

The latter smiled happily: "Don't worry, Lord Yao, we Tuoba Xianbei pay attention to honesty in doing business." Your Excellency, you are so trustworthy, we can't afford to hold back, right? ”

Hearing this, Yao Yu smiled slightly: "It's so best, okay, I won't send it." In Gangneung City, I still have a lot of things to deal with. ”

Lianghu agreed to board the ship and walked with Lian Jun.

This time I went north, I took the Yangtze River from the Lujiang River to Huaishui, and then went north along the waterway, all the way to the boundary of Youzhou.

As long as it is sent here, Yao Yu's task will be completed, and the rest will be Lianghu's business.

It is precisely because of this that Yao Yu sent Lian Jun to lead 3,000 sailors to escort the ships.

Anyway, this is a million stone of grain, not a small amount.

In other words, anyone who sees so much food will be red-eyed.

Not to mention that there are countless water thieves in these water systems along the way. How can it be done without the protection of the water army.

When Lian Jun and the others boarded the ship and the fleet was ready to set off, Yao Yu was about to wave goodbye to the two.

Suddenly, the class came at a trotting from a distance, accompanied by several retinues that looked like civil officials.

These people came to the shore to look, and when they saw Yao Yu, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly ran to them, and after arching their hands to Yao Yu, the class schedule came up and whispered a few words in Yao Yu's ear.

Yao Yu, who was originally smiling, immediately pulled down his face after hearing the words of the schedule.

He turned back to the schedule and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

The class watch snorted, took out a piece of Zhennan paper from his body and handed it to Yao Yu.

On the paper, a word urgent is marked with red paint, and in the lower right corner of the paper, there is a black circle outlined by a line, and inside the circle, is a black elongated figure.

This is the sign of the shadow guard, which shows that this letter is a message sent by the shadow guard, and the credibility is one hundred and two percent.

So, Yao Yu, who saw the letter, took a deep breath and straightened his attitude, opened the letter and read the contents.

Originally, his expression was quite calm, but the more he looked down, the more solemn Yao Yu's expression became.

In the end, he took the letter directly to the class watch: "I have to go myself." Class schedule, Jingzhou's affairs, I will leave it to you for the time being. ”

The class table clenched his fists: "Yes, lord." ”

Yao Yu snorted, and then opened his mouth and shouted at Lianghu Lian Jun on the boat: "Lianghu General Army, Lian Jun, don't be in a hurry to go first, wait for me." ”

The two people on the ship who were about to remove the boarding board were stunned when they heard this, and looked surprised.
