The people regard food as their heaven, and the lack of food is a big thing.

It was also a big mountain that pressed on Chen Wenqi's head, and he was about to lose his breath, and even complained about the emperor.

It's easy for your old man to say disaster relief, but where is the food?

There is silver, but where can we buy so much food in a short period of time to help hundreds of thousands of victims?

Now there are still a large number of victims in Haining Bay waiting to be fed, and the porridge boiled out of several porridge fields has long been unable to insert chopsticks!

Moreover, there is a steady stream of hungry people all the way north, and the emergency documents from various places are flying like snowflakes, and there is only one thing to tell, to ask for food!

There is grain in the granary of Fengyang Mansion, but can it be easily moved? Who dares to move?

Jiangdong County, Jiangnan County also has grain in the granary, but there is not much, Minzhou consumed a lot in the first battle, and the rest did not dare to move anyway, because these are all military rations, once there is no reserve of military rations, if there is any war, this battle will not be able to fight.

Now the emperor wants to use troops in Yanyun County again, and the household department has to raise a lot of food......

This household secretary really can't do it, and it's really not a human job, if it weren't for the emperor's kindness being too deep, Chen Wenqi would want to pick a son and quit.

So when he saw Xiao Chen go and come back, he didn't have a good face at all, and in the luck of making people calm down and not saying a word after serving tea, no matter what this kid wanted to ask for here, he would be crazy! What's the matter, you Yanyun County is in difficulty, and my household department is relaxed and happy every day?

"Lord Chen, let's not talk darkly, and I won't go around in circles with you, I want to ask for copper and iron, do you have it?" Xiao Chen's attitude was completely different from that in the morning, looking at Chen Wenqi's face and speaking, he spoke cautiously, all in a negotiated tone.

I know that his kid is a night owl who enters the house, and he doesn't come when he has nothing to do!

But with such a good attitude, he can't ignore it, and he wants to send him away as soon as possible, "How much do you want?" ”

"Ten million catties ......" Xiao Chen's lion opened his mouth widely, and when he saw Chen Wenqi's face change instantly, he immediately changed his words, "If you don't think you can give it to Master Chen, but you have to give me this face for millions of catties, right?" ”

Chen Wenqi stared at Xiao Chen without saying a word, staring at Xiao Chen's hair, "Lord Chen, what do you mean by looking at me like this?" ”

"Let me see how big your face is Lord Xiao?" Chen Wenqi said coldly.

"It's really urgent, I originally thought that the steel was in the hands of Ma Shangshu, but I just went to him to find out that it was originally under the management of your household department, so I came back to disturb you Lord Chen." Xiao Chen said that I actually didn't want to come.

You don't want to see my big face, and I don't want to come to see your stinky face, okay!

"What do you want so much iron for? Do you want to rebel with weapons? Chen Wenqi's words sound like a joke, but do you know if he is not saying it in his heart?

Because he had never joked with Xiao Chen, let alone this kind of joke.

"Don't make a fuss!" Xiao Chenle was happy, "It's used to play farm tools, you Lord Chen must also know that now a large area of land in Yanyun County is barren, you can't grow food, and the people can't live without food, but there is no iron plow, no hoe, no shovel, you can't let the people plow the land by hand, right?" ”

"In addition, there are a large number of hungry people in Yanyun County now, they don't even have any fields, and I can't watch them starve to death, they are all the people of our Great Zhou, right? Relief alone is not an option, so I want to give them wasteland so that they can cultivate it and be self-sufficient......"

The last time the Xian cavalry crossed the border, they snatched almost all the iron tools, not even a single needle left, and then returned some materials, but the iron tools were not returned, because their current smelting technology is still very backward, and many iron tools cannot be made at all, and you think that even the iron pot has to be imported from the Great Zhou.

In fact, Xiao Chen knows that there are very rich reserves of iron ore in Yanyun County, but it takes time for you to mine, and far water can't quench your thirst, and besides, you don't have to cast iron ore after mining, which also requires a lot of steel tools.

This can wait, but the urgent thing is that if Xiao Chen wants to cast a large number of artillery, he needs a large amount of fine steel, and the more the merrier.

Before he set off, the madman Liu Fuhai and the two told him to do everything possible to get back a batch of steel, which was a task assigned to him.

If it is steel, Chen Wenqi is unlikely to give it, even if it is not much, but if there are iron ingots, we can refine it ourselves.

"If you want farm tools, I can allocate a batch of ...... for you" As soon as Chen Wenqi said this, he knew that he was talking wrong, and it was too late to shut up in a hurry.

"That's for the best! According to one iron plow, five hoes, and three shovels per household, there are 200,000 iron plows, and 500,000 hoes are almost so-so......" Sure enough, Xiao Chen was overjoyed, and immediately the lion opened his mouth.

The conversation was also at an impasse.

"Lord Chen, there is one thing I didn't tell the emperor." After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke again.

Chen Wenqi wanted to ignore him, but he was curious, what was so mysterious, and he told me without telling the emperor?

"What's the matter?" If you don't ask, this kid probably won't talk about it.

"Lord Chen, have you heard of the thirteen granaries of the former dynasty?" Xiao Chen said.

"I've heard about it, why did you find it? Hehehe...... "Chen Wenqixin said that who doesn't know this?" Why don't you use what you say, it's so mysterious!

"Hmm!" Xiao Chen nodded firmly, "But I happened to find one." ”

"Huh? Are you sure! Chen Wenqi took a sip of tea before drinking it into his mouth, and it all squirted out, spraying Xiao Chen's face.

"Look at Master Chen, don't get excited, you found it, but ......" Xiao Chen wiped the tea from his face and explained the root cause.

There is a lot of grain, and there are a lot of dried meat, dried fish, dried vegetables, etc., but because the years are too long, there is a lot of mold, the grain is seriously pulverized, and the rice is cooked like porridge.

It's not something that people eat...... But then again, if you are hungry, your stomach is still fine, why did so many people in Yanyun County not starve to death during the winter? It's all supported by these grains.

"And how much more do you have...... How much? Chen Wenqi's eyes were red.

"It's not much, but it's still a little ......," Xiao Chen said.

Why do you want it, Lord Chen? If you want it, you can speak, if you don't say you want it, how do I know if you really want it?

Although you are very sincere and forget me, you still have to tell me what you want, it is impossible for you to say that you want me not to give it to you, you say you don't want me to give it to you, everyone has to be reasonable!

Do you really want it?

Then I'll give you a little bit, you don't really want it, do you?

Do you really want to?
