Chapter 1289 This decay is long overdue
Chu Qianqiu has always been resolute in doing things, and since he is ready to fill the mustard seed ring with rice and carry out the bottom for the people of the world, he will naturally rank the priority of the matter to the highest.
The last time he defeated the Martial Dao Holy Land and re-divided the world order, he didn't attract the Great Dao, which showed that the Great Dao was aware of the same degree.
For example, if Chu Qianqiu defeats the Martial Dao Holy Land, he can get the Dao Seal, so if he has the Dao Seal, if he defeats the Martial Dao Holy Land again, the future Dao that he was originally prepared to come down will not come down again.
Chu Qianqiu couldn't deceive the entire Great Dao by defeating the Martial Dao Holy Land without limits.
Then he had to start by changing the times.
What could change the times more than the abundance of supplies?
Even if it's cheating.
Any great ideal is built on a material basis.
In primitive societies, human organization could only be maintained in the form of tribes, because the surplus output of society was not enough to support a more complex system.
With endless food, Chu Qianqiu dared to implement more radical reforms and promote the development of the times.
Lingzhou, Chujia warehouse
"Who?"
"Prepare the Divine Crossbow!"
"Prepare to report to headquarters."
The guards of the Chu family's warehouse saw someone descending from the sky, and immediately entered a state of combat readiness, they were the guards responsible for guarding the supplies, although they only had qi storage cultivation, but Chu Qianqiu did not hide his breath, so they found out directly.
"Me."
Chu Qianqiu chuckled lightly and took out the token to prove it.
"See the head of the family, see the prince!"
The person in charge of the Chu family's warehouse, they are under the jurisdiction of Huang Xiaoxiao on weekdays, but they often browse Chu Qianqiu's portraits, they see Chu Qianqiu, plus the iconic flight of this martial arts master, it is very difficult to impersonate.
"No need to be polite."
"This king is here to extract rice, and how much rice is left in the warehouse."
"If you go home, there are 100,000 stone of rice here, which is specially used for pioneering use in Lingzhou and other places."
The person in charge of the warehouse hurriedly said.
Chu Qianqiu's stall was spread very large, not only taking down all the wasteland in Lingzhou, but also carrying out similar activities in Yuzhou, Haizhou and other places.
In a sense, these operations are charity, and if food prices do not rise sharply, the return period of these investments will be as high as more than 40 years.
It will only pay for itself in about 40 years, which is an ultra-long-term investment.
In order to carry out the pioneer plan, Xiaoxiao purchased warehouses and established a logistics system in various nodes to supply grain and grass from all over the world.
"Take half the rice for the king."
"It's a small warrant, you're right."
Chu Qianqiu took out the warrant and asked the administrator of the warehouse to verify and complete the procedure, lest someone pretend to be Chu Qianqiu in the future and come over to defraud the materials.
"Yes, Master."
"The little one ordered someone to prepare grain and grass."
The administrator of the warehouse looked a little excited, if he could make Chu Qianqiu remember himself, wouldn't he want to soar.
"No need."
"I'll take it alone."
Chu Qianqiu shook his head and ordered the administrator to lead the way.
"The head of the family, do you want new rice, or old rice?"
"New rice."
"Okay, the new rice is all in the warehouse over here."
"How is the head of the house going to take it away?"
As soon as the administrator wanted to say something, he saw a side that he will never forget.
Chu Qianqiu urged the vast mana and directly sucked all the rice designated by the administrator into the mustard seed ring.
Compared with Chu Qianqiu's early years, when it took half an hour to load a thing, the current mustard seed ring is indeed much easier to use.
Next!
The Chu family purchased and built more than ten large warehouses, and Chu Qianqiu went directly this time, taking half of the rice respectively, and harvesting 30,000 tons of rice in the mustard seed ring, and then went to Beijing to meet Her Majesty the Empress.
Yongzhou, Shangjing, Imperial Palace
"Husband, are you here?"
"Didn't you stay in the Marshal's Mansion yesterday and close the door?"
"How did you come to the palace quietly, now that the husband enters the palace, you don't have to hide it from others, just come in directly."
"Does anyone dare to gossip?"
"Is it that Princess Wushuang looks better than me, which makes her husband linger?"
Her Majesty the Empress of the Shenwu Dynasty, Xiao Qinghe, said with some surprise and dissatisfaction.
About ten days ago, his husband returned to Zhongzhou from Vortex Island, beheaded the Dragon Emperor, and then went to Great Xia to help Princess Wushuang ascend the throne as emperor, and even left a doppelganger, pretending that he was still in Beijing to attract everyone's attention.
Originally, after Empress Wushuang ascended the throne, Xiao Qinghe was both happy and a little uneasy, afraid that his husband would stay too comfortable in Great Xia and forget to go home.
"Nothing."
"I like my husband the most."
Chu Qianqiu hugged Her Majesty the Empress and said with a smile.
"Husband, I'm lying again."
"However, I like to listen, and my husband will say a few more words."
Xiao Qinghe was already familiar with Chu Qianqiu's embrace, and as if he was hugging him, the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"How can a husband lie?"
"A husband never lies."
"You see our children are almost born."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile.
In Chu Qianqiu's previous life, there was a saying called October pregnancy, but this world is slightly different, from pregnancy to birth is exactly 12 months, which is two months more than the child in the previous life.
I don't know if it's used to evolve meridians, dantians, and so on.
After all, there is no empirical evidence for these things in previous lives.
"Hmph, my husband likes to play tricks on people."
Her Majesty the Empress showed the brilliance of motherhood, and then continued to ask:
"When my husband comes back, there must be something important, and I must help my husband do it."
"What's the matter, it's just to come back to visit the lady."
"Tell the truth."
"If you need a little food for your husband, then prepare a surprise for your mother."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile.
"Is it the grain in the warehouse?"
Her Majesty hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"If it's less than two million stones, the husband can take it directly." (Note: 120,000 tons)
"So little?"
Chu Qianqiu was a little surprised, the Chu family's grain stock was one million stones, but the Tai warehouse in Shangjing was only two million stones.
"What does the husband want so much food for?"
Xiao Qinghe was also taken aback, is two million stones too little?
"There are still 8 million stone grain stored in the Tai warehouse in Shangjing, which supplies the people of the entire Shangjing, and can still cope with it, waiting for the autumn harvest to be completed and the autumn grain to enter Beijing."
Xiao Qinghe presided over the government, and in almost a year, he basically controlled the situation, and knew the finances and food of the imperial court well.
"It's just that there is a big drought in Yongzhou this year."
"Although the husband has passed on the secret technique of rainfall, and the imperial court has also sent a martial arts master to assist in the rainfall, the harvest will be seriously reduced this autumn."
"Therefore, the grain in the warehouse has to be saved, and it can't be used casually for the husband."
Chu Qianqiu suddenly remembered, when he first came to Beijing, he heard the Empress Dowager say that Si Tianjian watched the heavens and predicted that Yongzhou would have a drought for three years.
This is why there are Yi Dao people, who cut off the water veins of Fengzhou and protect Shangjing, causing Fengzhou to starve for thousands of miles.
Later, Chu Qianqiu killed the Yi Dao people, and the water veins in Fengzhou were restored somewhat, but Yongzhou began to drought. (Note: Chapter 499)
Under such circumstances, the drought in Yongzhou caused serious damage to Her Majesty's reputation and made Xiao Qinghe a little worried.
Rumors began to spread among the people that Her Majesty the Empress was not in the right position, so there was a great drought in the sky.
Although the six doors worked hard, they all sent these yin and yang weird guys to the black prison for repairs.
However, the panic of the people about the drought has already begun to appear.
Therefore, Xiao Qinghe had to mobilize grain from other places into Beijing in case of emergency.
Once a large-scale famine occurs in Yongzhou, even if the careerists are shocked by Chu Qianqiu and dare not rebel, there will be people who will rise up.
"There is also Si Tianjian observing the celestial phenomena, and there is a fear of a major flood next year, and then another three-year drought."
"The area of this drought will continue to expand to Yuzhou, Jiangzhou and other places."
Xiao Qinghe originally wanted to deal with this matter by himself, but when Chu Qianqiu asked, he told the truth.
This gave Chu Qianqiu a clearer understanding of the declining world.
In the long years to come, the environment on the world island will become very bad, and grain production will be reduced and the harvest will become a common phenomenon.
Even the big sects will be seriously affected, and even fight each other.
The decline is coming, and it will become more and more intense in the coming years.
It's just that Chu Qianqiu's movements were too fast, and it only took a year to get everything done, so he didn't realize that this decline was actually just the beginning.
"Last year, when we gave relief to Fengzhou, a lot of grain was spent in the Tai Warehouse, and this year's autumn harvest has not yet entered Beijing, so it has fallen to the bottom, and only about 8 million stone is left."
Xiao Qinghe said with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry, lady, eight million stones are enough."
"This disaster is long overdue, and there is a way for the husband to deal with them."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile.
