Chapter 19 Food Emergency
"Yes!"
Wang Zhi and a group of people all agreed, and then they all packed up and prepared to leave.
"Let's go, let's go home and eat."
"Today's workload is huge, it's bigger than before, and there are a lot of people here, otherwise they wouldn't be busy."
"Yes! His Royal Highness King Qiong's ability is too great, and this time he brought so many seeds, just now I counted it, there are more than 100 acres of land, but it is several times that of before. ”
The people of Qiongzhou are also talking endlessly, some are emotional, some admire Zhu Zi, but no one is complaining, the current life is much more fulfilling than before, they all like this feeling of working every day and not going hungry.
In just one month, Zhu Zi's reputation has undergone a qualitative change, originally there was a King Qiong, the prince came from the imperial capital, they thought that life would become more bitter because of the arrival of King Qiong, but they never expected that King Qiong came to save their lives, from the beginning of coming to Qiongzhou, everything they did was for their people and for the benefit of Qiongzhou.
A celebrity, when he left, was greeting Zhu Zi, and the words of thanks in his mouth never stopped.
Zhu Zi, who was standing in place, listened to it and called it a music, who doesn't like to be praised by others, and being loved by the people is a thing to be proud of.
"Your Highness, aren't they leaving?"
The king saw all the people leave, but those who came early in the morning did not leave for a long time.
These people, he knew very well, were Zhu Zi's people, after all, except for Zhu Zi himself, he would never give the seeds to anyone else, and these five people must be Zhu Zi's henchmen.
"You go back and leave them alone."
Now, I really have to think about settling these peasants.
It was too dark at night to work, so in order not to let others suspect, it was time to rest at night, or to rest normally.
"Okay."
Wang Zhi didn't continue to ask, and left very familiarly.
"You take these five people to the house and arrange them in one room."
Zhu Zi thought for a while, turned his head, and said to the servant behind him.
These servants are all his people, and the servants brought from the imperial capital are not afraid of revealing their stuffing.
"Yes!"
The servant behind him respectfully agreed.
The five peasants all stopped what they were doing, followed Zhu Zixin's instructions, and left the field with the servants.
After everyone left, Zhu Zi walked around the world and returned to the house.
King Qiong's Mansion, the meeting room.
The surrounding environment is not much different from when Zhu Zi came a month ago, just a little more decoration.
With the current resources of Qiongzhou, it is too difficult to rebuild a Qiongwang Mansion, insisting on doing so is tantamount to exploiting the people, and in the end, Zhu Zi also did not care and changed the Qiongzhou Mansion to Qiongwang Mansion.
"Your Highness, where did all the harvested peppers go, I will order someone to clean them up."
Wang Zhi asked cautiously.
After coming back, he asked around, but no one knew where the chili peppers went, but he saw Zhu Zi harvesting the chili peppers with his own eyes, where should he put them, how could no one see them.
"Chili? I've made all the seeds, or where do you think the seeds of the remaining 120 acres of land will come from? ”
"Rest assured, as long as this month passes, the food problem will be fundamentally solved."
Seeing this, Zhu Zi also explained simply.
If you don't explain, Wang Zhi and a group of them will be depressed for a long time, and it is possible that they will go all over Qiongzhou to find chili peppers, so they can accept it, after all, there is more land, and there will be more harvest.
"All made into seeds?"
"This ......."
Wang straightened for a moment, fell into silence, and his face became very ugly.
"What, what's the problem?"
Zhu Zi said suspiciously, what can be the problem with seeds, if the yield is high, they will not be in the grain, his vision is definitely long-term.
"Then I'll tell you, since this month, I have been putting grain to the people in the city, borrowing grain from Leizhou, and there is not much left, if it goes on like this, it can last for three days at most, and it may not last so long."
Wang Zhi gritted his teeth, and he also let it go, and directly threw out the question.
It's not that he wants to throw this problem to Zhu Zi, the main thing is that he has nothing to do, he originally thought that this grain harvest could solve the urgent need of Qiongzhou, but he didn't expect Zhu Zi to turn all the peppers into seeds.
He also knew that Zhu Zi wanted to completely solve the food problem, but what should be done now is a big problem, and he can't live without food.
"What do you say! There are only three days left? ”
Zhu Zi stood up excitedly, his face full of surprise.
Since the last time I asked Leizhou to borrow grain, I haven't been in charge of the problem of grain, thinking that at least I can survive this month, you know, the borrowed grain is enough for him to live in Qiongzhou for three months before he came to Qiongzhou, and he also counted three months of grain to borrow, but he never thought that it would be gone in a month.
Not only Zhu Zi, but everyone around them all showed a look of surprise, food can't be a problem no matter what, not to mention that if you are hungry and don't have the strength to work, it will die.
"The displaced people in the city and outside the city have all been accepted by the Qiongzhou Mansion, as well as the Haikou in Zhao'an, many people work to reward food, and the consumption is too great."
"In addition to the grain borrowed from Leizhou, as well as the grain originally stockpiled in Qiongzhou, it is all counted, and there are only three days left at most."
"After three days, if there is no food, it will be over."
Wang Zhi sighed lightly and shook his head.
Some time ago, he also repeatedly advised Zhu Zi that the homeless people would help slowly, and they couldn't help all in one go, but Zhu Zi didn't think so.
The result is already obvious, in a month's time, the displaced people in Qiongzhou are no longer everywhere, it is difficult to see them, but there is not much food left, and they have no food.
Anywhere in Qiongzhou, there can be no grain, but Qiongwangfu must not be without food, Qiongwangfu grasps the food lifeline of the entire Qiongzhou, and there is no grain in Qiongwangfu, which means that the entire Qiongzhou will run out of grain.
"Three days, I know, I will solve the problem of food, and the matter of no food must not be spread."
"The food in the past few days will be distributed in the same proportion as before, and within three days, I will bring the food back."
Zhu Zi commanded solemnly, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left the living room.
The food I asked for this time must at least last for this month, and with such a large amount of food, let these people in Qiongzhou think of a way, I'm afraid they can't think of it.
If he wants to solve this problem, he can only go out in person and imagine a way, no, it must be done, otherwise the entire Qiongzhou will have no food to eat.
