In just one day, Lu Xiaoming prepared the food that Yu Hao needed, a full 13 million stone of grain, which was piled up in the entire square of Haoyue Manor.

However, these grains are neither rice nor wheat, but coarse grains.

Although the nutritional value of coarse grains is not as good as that of wheat and rice, the price is low, and the money to buy one pound of rice is enough to buy ten catties of coarse grains.

At that time, before Li Mingyang went to the disaster relief, the household department exchanged all the 1 million disaster relief funds for rice.

In the end, Li Mingyang only brought less than 1 million stone of rice to the disaster relief, which led to the fact that there was not much relief food distributed in each region.

Now for the people in the disaster area, the most important thing is to eat enough rather than eat well, and if the 13 million stone coarse grain is saved, it will be enough for millions of people to survive this winter.

In ancient times, the food was single, and the people basically ate staple food, and an ordinary person in Daqian had to consume about 3 stone of grain a month, and if he saved some food, he would consume about 2 stone in the case of ensuring that he could provide daily physical consumption.

13 million stone grain is enough for 1 million people to eat for half a year!

Looking at these grains, Yu Hao felt a little emotional, two months ago he was a poor man with no entrepreneurial capital, and two months later, he was already able to help millions of victims.

"All the coarse grain reserves in our Wuxianzhuang are here, and the total population of the five northern states is more than three million, and these grains are enough for emergency relief." Lu Xiaoming said with a smile, and he was also very happy in his heart.

Although the grain was distributed to all the victims in the five states, it was only enough to eat for more than two months at most, and it was unlikely that they would survive this winter.

But now it is the autumn harvest season, and in two months the imperial court will be able to collect the taxes, and then the imperial court will have the money to allocate funds for disaster relief.

Yu Hao nodded, and according to the previous agreement, he paid Lu Xiaoming another 900,000 taels of silver.

However, although the grain was bought, how to transport so much grain to the north became a difficult problem.

Now there are only seventy or eighty war horses in the entire Haoyue Manor, and it is obviously impossible to pull so much grain.

Even with the addition of manpower, it is far from enough for the entire Haoyue Manor to come out to transport grain.

It is no wonder that in ancient times, there was always not enough grain and grass for wars, so much grain, the scale of the grain transport team alone was very huge, and a batch of grain was transported to the front line, and it was almost eaten by the grain transport team.

Lu Xiaoming seemed to see Yu Hao's worries, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, leave this matter of transporting grain to me, I brought a total of three battalions of soldiers back to Beijing this time, plus we have 5,000 people in Wuxianzhuang, first transport some grain to the north for emergency relief, and then I will find my father to think of a way to find the rest." ”

The soldiers of the first battalion of the Great Cadres are about 1,000, of course, there are exceptions, and some large-scale armies, the soldiers of the first battalion range from 5,000 to 20,000, for example, the Imperial Forest Army has a total of five battalions: front, rear, left, right, and main, with nearly 20,000 soldiers in each battalion.

The three battalions of soldiers brought by Lu Xiaoming are only 3,000 people, plus 5,000 people, it is only 8,000 people, and it is obviously impossible to transport so much grain to the north.

Lu Xiaoming said this because he wanted to quickly transport a batch of grain to Guangyi Mansion in order to complete the task assigned to him by the prefect.

Yu Hao nodded, since Lu Xiaoming was willing to contribute, Yu Hao naturally had no opinion.

After Lu Xiaoming left, Yu Hao turned around and took out a drawing from his arms and stuffed it into Yin Laoqi's hand.

"Uncle Seven, immediately lead the staff of the Ordnance Department to make batches according to the drawings, I want a thousand units within half a month, if there are not enough people, I will go to Han Bing to transfer people."

Yin Laoqi opened the drawing, took a cursory glance, and the next second, his pupils shook and he looked at Yu Hao incredulously.

Yu Hao smiled slightly and said, "This drawing must not be leaked." ”

Yin Laoqi knew it in his heart, and nodded hurriedly: "Young master, don't worry, you will come to inspect the goods in half a month!" ”

On the other side, after Lu Xiaoming came out of Haoyue Manor, he hurriedly returned to the mansion and found Lu Lin, the right attendant of the military department.

"Dad, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Lu Xiaoming was about to say that he was going to send 5,000 people to help transport grain, but as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Lin slapped Lu Xiaoming in the face.

"Nonsense! Don't you know that it is the autumn harvest season recently, and there are not enough people, so you take 5,000 people at once, what will happen to the rice in the field? ”

Lu Xiaoming covered his face and said angrily: "The rice in the field has already been harvested, not to mention that I only took 5,000 people, and there are 3,000 people in Wuxianzhuang, which is enough to cope with the autumn harvest!" You asked for money before, and I brought the money, but now we have something to do? ”

"Hundreds of people in the five northern states are starving to death every day, this batch of grain is life-saving food, this is a rare feat for our Lu family, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely reward our Lu family after knowing it!"

Lu Xiaoming knew very well in his heart that the autumn harvest was already almost over, and the reason why Lu Lin said this was to prevent him from taking the people away.

In his opinion, now that the north is suffering from disasters and the treasury is empty, he is an official of Guangyi Province, and disaster relief is his obligation.

Besides, the Lu family should be loyal to the king, and at this time, they should have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution!

"You made an assertion and gave and sold so much food to Yu Hao, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, do you know how angry the Prime Minister was after knowing about this?" Lu Lin said angrily.

"Dad, you know the Prime Minister, I don't understand, what's so good about this eldest grandson and old dog, it's worth Daddy's life for him? Aren't you really afraid that one day our whole family will be killed by the eldest grandson and old dog? ”

Since Lu Lin became the right attendant of the military department, I don't know how much military food and military salary have been deducted from the gang leader Sun Xiao and the prince, this is a big crime to kill the head!

"Shut up!"

Lu Lin was furious and slapped Lu Xiaoming in the face.

He knew very well that the eldest grandson smiled as a person, and if what Lu Xiaoming said just now reached the ears of the eldest grandson, their family would probably be implicated.

Lu Xiaoming, who was slapped in the face, raised his head and looked at Lu Lin in confusion, he really didn't understand how the upright and upright father could become like this.

"If there is no Prime Minister, there will be no Lao Tzu today, let me hear you say such things in the future, I will beat you to death!"

Lu Lin pointed at Lu Xiaoming, trembling with anger.

"Okay, if you have the ability, you will kill me, our family has three generations of single transmission, you fight!" Lu Xiaoming said, and stretched his face in front of Lu Lin.

"Little bunny, I'll hit ......"

Lu Lin was so angry that he raised his hand into the air, but he couldn't fall for a long time.

No matter how Lu Xiaoming is also his own son, he hasn't seen him for five years, how can he still do it when he calms down at this time?

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoming suddenly snorted coldly and said: "No matter what, I also want to help Yu Hao transport grain, this matter is not negotiable, I don't care if the eldest grandson old dog will be angry, if he doesn't agree, I will shoot him to death!" ”

"You ......"

Before Lu Lin could reprimand Lu Xiaoming, Lu Xiaoming ran out of the Lu Mansion with a smoke.

"Dad, the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, this is what you said, I went, and I will drink with you next time I come back!"
