Zhang Gongjin hurriedly got up and went to the palace to meet the emperor, and Zhang Zheng took the opportunity to sit in the study and began to ponder.

As a human being in two lives, Zhang Zheng has never been a selfish person, and he has never been.

In his previous life, Zhang Zheng was just a 996 social animal, busy at three o'clock every day, worrying about food and clothing.

An insignificant little person, there is nothing he can do in the face of such a disaster.

But this life is different, in this life he has a prominent family background, with extraordinary insight and knowledge that surpasses this era for thousands of years.

There is also a father who is the prince of the dynasty. As long as Zhang Zheng wants to, he can step on the shoulders of his parents and go straight to the clouds.

has been a gentleman for fifteen years, and now Zhang Zheng wants to do something, he has to do something.

In the face of such a natural disaster, the power of the individual seems too small, but Zhang Zheng still decided to do something.

It would be whimsical not to be able to stop such a natural disaster.

I just want to be able to make this disaster less tragic than a few tragedies that change children and eat.

It's just that even for Zhang Zheng, a soul from the 21st century, there is no good solution to such a natural disaster for a while, because Zhang Zheng can't conjure food out of thin air.

"Food...... Grain...... Grain...... The grain harvest in Guanzhong is a foregone conclusion, so where is the grain? Zhang Zheng muttered to himself.

"The family!" Zhang Zheng suddenly thought.

Whether it is a disaster year or a good year, there is always no shortage of food in the hands of the family.

"Gangnam, Gangnam! Rice in Jiangnan is also grain, and there is no record in history that the locust plague affected Jiangnan, so there must be grain in Jiangnan.

It's just that Jiangnan is too far away, unless the imperial court is willing to use the warships of the sailors. In an instant, Zhang Zheng's mind turned a thousand times.

"Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou, let me die." Zhang Zheng shouted loudly outside the door.

"Hey, where are you, what do you have to say about Xiao Langjun?" Hearing this, the housekeeper Lao Zhou hurriedly replied, then pushed the door in and stood still behind Zhang Zheng.

Because Zhang Zheng is the fourth in the family and has three elder brothers in front of him, people in Zhuangzi or Guogong Mansion call Zhang Zheng Xiaolangjun.

And Zhang Zheng's three elder brothers are all adults, all of them are officials in other places, and they are not in the mansion all the year round.

Therefore, Zhang Zheng, who has not yet reached the crown, has picked up a lot of cheapness, and can be the master of most of the national mansion at home.

"How much cash can I use in the house?" Zhang Zheng asked.

The housekeeper Lao Zhou thought for a while, and didn't understand why Shao Langjun, who had never cared about these things, suddenly asked how much money the Guogong Mansion had.

But he still replied according to his words: "Back to Shao Langjun, most of the properties in the Guogong Mansion are fields, shops and some treasures, and the cash that can be used immediately is not much, about 8,000 yuan!" ”

"Eight thousand, not enough, too little?" Zhang Zheng muttered to himself.

"And how much money can you make up if you transfer from somewhere else?"

The housekeeper Lao Zhou thought for a while: "This, the income of shops around the world this season is also about to settle the time, and there should always be 350,000 yuan." ”

Zhang Zheng squinted his eyes and continued to ask: "Thirty or fifty thousand, how long will it take?" ”

"It's mid-May now, and earnings settlement is generally in early June, the fastest, half a month." Lao Zhou replied respectfully.

"Half a month, too long!"

"In the past, 8,000 yuan was indeed not a small amount, at least enough for the expenses of the entire national government for three or five years. But now, it can be said that it is a drop in the bucket! ”

Zhang Zheng touched his chin and thought about it, and then smiled dumbly, he was just a minor child, why should he think so much.

Some things naturally have the great Majesty Li Er and a large number of civil ministers and military generals in the court to worry about.

Yourself, do your best.

Moreover, the autumn harvest is August, and now it is only May, because of his own reasons, he has bought Datang at least three months.

Three months is enough time to do a lot of things, and in the original history, there was no extra three months.

Datang did not survive smoothly, and became more and more prosperous and stronger.

Zhang Zheng thought so, and then said to Lao Zhou: "Eight thousand runs, eight thousand runs, go to the treasury and withdraw all the money, and my son will use it." ”

When the housekeeper Lao Zhou heard this, his face was full of embarrassment: "This, what does Shao Langjun want so much money for?" ”

"If you want to mention it, you can mention it, why do you ask so much? Can't the master of this son's eight thousand dollars be done? ”

The housekeeper Lao Zhou didn't dare to refute, and replied with a bitter face: "Shao Langjun misunderstood, the old slave didn't mean that."

It's not that Shaolangjun can't be the master, it's mainly that the old slave can't be the master, otherwise Shaolangjun still asks Madame? ”

Lao Zhou, as the chief steward of the Guogong Mansion, has followed Zhang Gongjin for more than 20 years.

In the past 20 years, the Zhang family has been well organized by him, but it is not that he really can't be the master.

The key is that Zhang Zheng has a lot of criminal records, 8,000 guan is not a small number, and Lao Zhou does not dare to open this opening.

Zhang Zheng couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, but seeing Lao Zhou's embarrassed look, he couldn't bear to scold him.

Zhang Zheng decided to humbly accept advice, go to the backyard, and see the old lady. Not to mention, I haven't seen my wife in the morning, and I miss her a lot.

Hurry to the backyard, if nothing else, my mother should be feeding the birds in the backyard at this time.

Zhang Zheng came to the back hall of the Guogong Mansion, and sure enough, he saw Zhang's mother holding a food full of meat grains.

Feeding two large birds with turquoise colors and long tails trailing behind.

The name of the big bird is said to be the bird of bliss, and when it spreads its wings, it looks like the legendary mythical bird phoenix, and it is a tribute offered by the Liuzhao tribe in the southwest when they come to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Because the Yuan family and Li Er's queen eldest grandson were extremely good close friends, the eldest grandson was willing to endure the pain and sent two to the Yuan family.

Yuan is extremely attentive to the two birds, and must feed them himself every day, never pretending to others, and caring more about them than his own son.

Seeing that it was her son who came, Yuan Shi hurriedly waved his hand at his son to signal that he would not be silent, so as not to scare her precious bird.

Zhang Zheng pursed his lips, they were just two peacocks, what kind of birds of paradise were called, bells and whistles.

However, it is rare that the old lady has a hobby, and Zhang Zheng did not bother the old lady's Yaxing, so he casually found a stone table and sat down to watch the old lady feed the birds.

When the meat in the food was eaten by the two birds, Yuan added a little water to the food.

Only then did he clean his hand and walked towards Zhang Zheng, and said as he walked: "It's rare that my son doesn't go out in the afternoon to hang out with your gang of fox friends and dog friends, and I actually have time to come and see my mother." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zheng felt a little embarrassed, he obviously just came back from a swing with his fox friends.

Tugging the corners of his mouth, Zhang Zheng replied: "What is my mother talking about, it seems that her son has no conscience." ”

Yuanshi stretched out his index finger and poked Zhang Zheng's eyebrows: "You, you, my mother doesn't know you yet, let's say, what's the matter with my mother?" ”

Zhang Zheng grinned and showed a big white tooth and smiled: "It's a little trivial, my son needs some activity funds." ”

Yuan's hand held the amount, and he knew that he was asking for money: "How much do you want to go to the account room to withdraw, why bother to ask for a mother"

"I went, but I didn't give it to the bookkeeper!" Zhang Zheng said with a somewhat embarrassed face.

"How much do you want?"

"Eight thousand kans!"

"What, Yachikan! What do you want so much money for? Yuan was taken aback.

"Buy food!" Zhang Zheng replied without hesitation.

"Why do you buy grain, do you know how much grain you can buy in 8,000 guan?" Yuan stared at Zhang Zheng with unkind eyes.

"Yes!" Zhang Zheng replied honestly.

Taking the grain price of Zhenguan for three years as an example, rice is 13 yuan per bucket, and one bucket is about 12.5 catties.

One pound in the Tang Dynasty was about equal to 600 grams in later generations. It has always been 1,000 yuan, and 8,000 guan is 8 million yuan.

Converted into about 4,000 tons of grain in later generations, and 4,000 tons of grain is enough for hundreds of people up and down the entire Guogong Mansion to eat for ten years.
