The seventeenth day of the first month.

Frustrated Yang City, which has been sunny for more than ten days.

Finally, there was a gloom.

It was nearly noon.

Slightly dim in the study of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Xu Yi put down his hand to write a Chinese book and a wolf pen.

Get up and add two more candles.

Then he sat down on the Taishi chair again.

Continue to deal with the paperwork that seems to never be finished.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it's an hour or two.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.

Just as the documents on the left side of Xu Yishu's case were about to be disposed of.

Under the candlelight, there was a moment of brightness in the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall, which was as bright as day.

Seeing this, Xu Yi couldn't help but pause the wolf pen in his hand and turned his head to look at the closed windowsill.

After counting the interest.

A loud bang suddenly exploded outside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

"It's thundering."

After hearing the thunder, Xu Yi couldn't help frowning instantly.

New Year's thunder has not been a good sign since ancient times.

There is also a common saying: "When the first month thunders, the graves are piled up."

And the reason for this.

Because the first month is the time when the crops are green.

At this time, if it rains, the weather turns cold.

It will inevitably have a significant impact on the crop harvest.

In some cases, there is no harvest.

At that time.

In order to survive, the common people who were digging in the soil had to leave their homes.

What will happen then.

I am afraid that no one can understand better than Xu Yi, who came out of the cage due to the disaster relief in Guanzhong.

Xu Yi frowned, got up, left the Taishi chair, and walked towards the windowsill.

However.

Just as he pushed open the windowsill.

A flash of lightning pierced the dim sky of Frustrated Sun City once more.

Meanwhile.

With the windowsill ajar.

An icy cold current rushed straight towards Xu Yi.

He couldn't help but shiver when he pounced.

After counting the interest.

An earth-shattering bang exploded in the dim sky.

Xu Yi tightened his shirt and stared at the dim sky outside the window with deep eyes.

Until the first drop of rain fell from the sky, silently wetting the bluestone slab outside the carrier hall.

Xu Yi sighed deeply helplessly.

Then the windowsill was slowly closed.

The steps were a little heavy towards the bookcase.

Zhengde 28 years of Shandong water.

In the twenty-ninth year of Zhengde, there was a great drought in Guanzhong.

Zhengde 30 years of snow disaster in Liaodi.

And this year.

Fang Kai is only more than ten days old.

Yandi encountered thunder in the first month.

If you add in the fact that the wood will be completed in the near future, it may divert the Yellow River, which has swept millions of people on both sides of the Yellow River.

And this is just a natural disaster.

It happened in the coastal counties where fishermen were exploited.

In recent years, land annexation and population hiding have become more and more serious.

And every time a natural disaster occurs, the inaction of the imperial court, the opportunity of the big family to take advantage of the big *** and so on.

All of them are man-made disasters.

Under natural and man-made disasters.

How can the Great Zhou extend the national throne again?

That's what I think about.

I don't know why Xu Yi's heart suddenly swelled with a complex feeling that was so thick that it almost occupied the entire heart, and it was indescribable and inexplicable.

"Ugh."

Xu Yi sighed heavily and sat down on the Taishi chair again.

Shake your head slightly.

It seems to be a pity that this has lasted for more than 200 years.

It seems to be taking pity on the weakest ordinary people in the world.

It seems to be a desire

The complex feeling in my heart is so thick that it almost occupies the whole heart.

and the chaotic thoughts in the mind.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it's an hour or two.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.

The sound of wind and rain outside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall became more and more chilling.

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Xu Yi calmed down slightly, and posed in a strange shape with both hands.

Place it next to your mouth.

After counting the interest.

The whistle implying a certain melody came out of the study room of the side hall of the carrying hall.

Eventually, I don't know where it dissipated.

Not much.

Outside the study room of the side hall of the closed carrying hall, there was a sudden sound of extremely slight footsteps.

The leader of the heart of inquiry came out of the dark corner of the carrying hall and walked quickly towards the study of the side hall.

"Knock knock."

"Master."

After dozens of breaths, the leader of the heart stopped in front of the door of the study in the side hall of the carrier hall and knocked on the door gently.

"Enter."

"Yes."

After receiving the promise.

The Leader of the Conscience gently pushed open the door and stepped in.

When he closed the door again and headed deeper into the study.

The leader of the heart of conscience couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and even his footsteps were faintly smacked.

As far as the eye can see.

I saw Xu Yi's eyebrows sitting solemnly behind the bookcase,

Though there is a candle shining brightly,

But somehow.

Looking at a person like the Question Leader who has been walking in the dark all year round, he unconsciously feels an indescribable depression.

"Ask your master with your heart."

The Leader of the Conscience endured the extremely oppressive heaviness.

After composing for a while, he walked to Xu Yi two steps away and bowed deeply.

"It is rumored that Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu quickly came to see Gu."

"Besides."

"Wait until we see Yang Xian'an."

"Ordered him to immediately send someone to the king's camp to pass the quartermaster Yu Chongwen into the palace."

Xu Yi's slightly heavy voice came into the ears of the leader of the heart of the question.

"Obey!"

Hearing this, the leader of the heart hurriedly agreed, bowed again, and quickly exited the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

I don't know why.

When the door of the study of the side hall of the carrier hall was closed again.

The leader of the conscience standing outside the door of the study couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

After the figure of the leader of the conscience disappeared completely, the door of the study was closed again.

Xu Yi got up from the Taishi chair as usual.

After pouring water, grinding ink, and laying paper.

Xu Yi sat down on the Taishi chair again, then picked up a wolf pen, and unhurriedly combed through the slightly messy plan in his mind on the yellowed rice paper.

Not much.

The yellowed rice paper that lay flat on the bookcase was already covered with dense handwriting.

From the Xiaoyinshan Salt Mine to the Lower Los Angeles Medicine and Jade Workshop and Coal Workshop.

From the smelting workshop outside the city to the forging workshop.

From the Zhu family's continuous transportation of yellow peel fruit cane from Lingnan and other places to Wang Daying's cane sugar workshop, it has been completely landed.

From the Cotton Armor Workshop to the Iron Floating Slaughter Workshop, and then to the Strange Thing Courtyard Crossbow Workshop.

20,000 war horses, 2,000 taels of gold, 2,000 taels of silver, 2,000 pairs of armor and 100,000 stone of grain sent from Dai Qi and Liao Yan.

To Emperor Zhengde's reward of 10,000 war horses, 50,000 stone grains and grass, 3,000 pairs of armor, 5,000 crossbows, 100,000 crossbows, and 1,000 silk and satin.

Xu Yi, who was in chaos in his mind, once again carefully calculated everything he had.

However.

As the calculations unfold rapidly.

The problems that come with it are also head-on.

Such as the shortage of iron ore in smelting workshops.

For example, there is a shortage of cowhides and other items in the Iron Floating Workshop.

For example, the weapons reserves of the Wang battalion are seriously insufficient.

For example, the construction of new official roads has been put on the agenda.

Such as the "Yan Shang" co-ordination that has been quietly carried out.

For example, after the end of spring ploughing, the reconstruction of Nuqi City will be initially launched.

One by one, one by one, big and small.

What can be separated from money?

But it doesn't work.

It's just that the finances of the Yan Wangfu have long been in deficit!

And now.

The cold spring is a foregone conclusion.

If it cannot be handled properly.

The foundation of the Dire Swallow Land is completely destroyed!

It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind.

.......

.......

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Xu Yi stared at the second piece of yellowed rice paper that was once again covered with dense handwriting.

I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart.

"It's really better to be a human being than a god."

I don't know how long it took, Xu Yi exhaled a heavy breath of depression.

Then he picked up two sheets of yellowed rice paper that were already covered with dense handwriting.

He got up and walked straight to the stove.

After the yellowed rice paper with handwriting completely reduced to ashes in the furnace.

Xu Yi pushed open the closed window again.

Let the cold wind outside the window enter.

Time.

The bone-chilling wind carried the icy rain, constantly lapping Xu Yi's face.

And Xu Yi stood by the windowsill and stood still.

It was as if I wanted to completely wash away the depression in my heart with the bone-chilling wind and cold rain.

Not much.

Xu Yi, whose face was slightly pale, raised his cold hands to isolate the cold rain again.

Wipe away the rain from your face.

Two familiar footsteps came from outside the study room of the side hall of the closed carrying hall.

"Knock knock."

"Sixth Master."

Yang Xian'an, who was already soaking wet, stopped outside the study room in the side hall and knocked on the door gently.

"Enter."

"Yes."

After getting Xu Yi's consent.

Yang Xian'an gently pushed open the door and stepped in.

Lu Wensu, who was also soaking wet, followed.

However.

Fang and his party went to the depths of the study in the side hall.

Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu were both slightly stunned.

I saw Xu Yi sitting behind the bookcase.

For some reason, I soaked my clothes.

"Meet the Sixth Master."

"Meet the Lord."

Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu calmed down slightly, stopped at Xu Yi's two steps away, and bowed.

"Sit."

Xu Yi got up and poured two teas from the teapot next to him.

After Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu sat down completely.

Xu Yi gently pushed two hot teas in front of Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu.

Then he asked, "How is the progress of the Cane Sugar Workshop and the Youning Wine Workshop in Wang Daying?"

Lu Wensu took the teacup with both hands, and then replied, "Go back to the prince."

"Because in the past two days, the king's battalion soldiers have returned one after another."

"In my spare time, I will also help with the construction of the two workshops."

"Now, the cane sugar workshop is completely in place and ready to be put into use."

"Youning Liquor Workshop is only a little short of finishing, and it will be completely completed in two or three days after the rain stops."

Xu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this.

Now.

The Lower Los Angeles Medicine and Jade Workshop and Coal Workshop are a foregone conclusion.

The money he produced was planned by Xu Yi as early as possible

。

The Xiaoyinshan Salt Mine has always been limited by the "salt amount" of the imperial court.

Thus it is not possible to create too much wealth for it.

As for the other workshops.

From beginning to end, it was a gold cave.

Now.

The only thing that can solve the financial crisis of Yanwangfu is probably the newly landed cane sugar workshop and the upcoming Youning wine workshop.

"How familiar is the method of boiling sucrose?"

Xu Yi asked in a deep voice.

"Go back to the prince."

"One hundred and fifty people are all acquainted."

"Now it's just the sugar mill."

Lu Wensu replied.

"Okay."

"That's so."

"When the rain stops, transfer the yellow cane to the sugar factory."

Xu Yi commanded in a deep voice.

"Obey!"

Lu Wensu's face was straight, and he bowed his hand again.

"Ann."

"Choose another 300 trustworthy fellows from the old five firms and hand them over to Wen Su."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and looked at Yang Xian'an slightly.

"Obey!"

Yang Xian'an was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then quickly agreed.

"After the three hundred people are thoroughly familiar with the method of refining white sand cane sugar."

"Divide the four hundred and fifty people in the sugar cane workshop into three shifts."

"Four hours per shift to make sure the cane sugar workshop is around the clock."

Xu Yi looked at Lu Wensu again and commanded in a deep voice.

The incident of the spring cold happened suddenly and critically.

Now Xu Yi can't wait to immediately turn the mountains of yellow fruit cane into crystal clear white sugar.

Then it turned from white sugar to money.

"Obey!"

Lu Wensu's heart sank when he heard this, and he bowed his hand again.

"Besides."

"When the rain stops, buy a hundred acres of land outside the city."

"The large, sweet yellow cane is planted during spring ploughing."

"As for the Quiet Wine Workshop."

"It's business as usual for now."

Xu Yi paused slightly, and then commanded again in a deep voice.

"Obey!"

Lu Wensu heard everything from him.

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

After Lu Wensu received the order and left.

Xu Yi then looked at Yang Xian'an and asked, "How are those things sold?"

When Yang Xian'an heard this, he replied, "Back to the sixth master, he has sold more than one percent."

The words fell.

Xu Yi frowned imperceptibly for a moment, and then ordered: "Speed up the progress, and if necessary, you can lower the market price by half to one percent."

"We will try to sell it for money in the shortest possible time."

"You don't need to send it back to the palace after you get the money."

"Buying food directly from neighboring counties."

"If the price is right, old grain can also be purchased in a big way."

As soon as this statement came out.

Yang Xian'an instantly looked surprised.

The goods that Xu Yi gave were more than 10% lower than the normal market price in order to sell them quickly.

If it is lower than half to one percent.

Then what surprised Yu Baisheng.

However.

It's only been a breath or two.

The surprise in Yang Xian'an's eyes was completely replaced by a thick and solemn color.

"Obey!"

Unconsciously, Yang Xian's peace of mind was filled with layers of heaviness.

"Besides."

"When the rain stops, you can send people to visit the two counties and seventeen cities."

"Thoroughly investigate the extent of this rain and the amount of rain in each city."

Xu Yi ordered with a slightly solemn face.

"Obey!"

When Yang Xian'an heard this, his face was equally solemn and he agreed.

So far.

If he still can't see that the situation is urgent, I'm afraid he doesn't deserve to be the head of the old five.

After Yang Xian'an's figure completely disappeared in the study room of the side hall of the Carrier Palace.

Xu Yi picked up the already cold tea, raised his head and drank it all.

Then he walked to the windowsill again and listened to the sound of the rain outside the window.

It is better to say that it is unfounded to worry about the sky and take precautions.

The cold of spring.

The future of the entire Yandi is at stake.

How could Xu Yi not be cautious?

If the scope of this cold is too large.

It can well be imagined.

For the next period of time.

Xu Yi will inevitably fall into an even more frantic accumulation of wealth and food.

Ultimately.

It's nothing more than Xu Yi always firmly believes in a wise saying.

And the wise saying is "Accumulate grain and build high walls."

And the 21,000 soldiers in the king's camp and the millions of people in the entire Yan land.

It is the tallest and majestic city wall in Xu Yi's mind.

"It's a very tight time!"

I don't know how long it took.

Xu Yi sighed, and then returned to the bookcase again.

After a little composure, he continued to pick up the pen and work on the few remaining papers.
