In Chu Shenghuai's opinion, as long as there is silver, everything is not a problem.

But now after listening to Song Shaoqin's words, his whole mind suddenly cleared up a lot.

He took it for granted!

He only thought that he had enough financial resources to support his great cause, but he completely ignored the current situation and situation, and never thought that there would be a possibility of running out of food.

As Song Shaoqin said, now he can indeed rely on a large amount of financial resources to buy grain from major state capitals, but what about after that?

You must know that once this battle starts, it will not end in a short time, and he is ready to fight a protracted war, and his princess has also given great support, so he is very confident.

So much so that he ignored the impact and consequences of the current situation, the impact of last year's natural disaster, the common people have not yet recovered, and now it is conscription and war, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the common people to recuperate, let alone grow food.

That is to say, at least in the next two or three years, grain output will only be greatly reduced and will not increase again, and in the later period, it is possible that the common people themselves will not have food to eat, let alone provide grain and grass for the army.

The consequences are unimaginable.

The most important thing is that most of the grain handed over is still in the hands of his imperial brother, so how much can he occupy in the end?

In this way, no matter how much money he has, he can't do anything.

This matter really can't stand scrutiny, it's just a lot of scary thoughts, and at this moment, Chu Shenghuai was completely shocked into a cold sweat.

Sure enough, Lord Xiao Song is still smart and sees the long term enough.

If their side runs out of grain and grass halfway, not only will all their efforts be wasted, but he Chu Shenghuai will also become the laughing stock of the world.

At that time, his royal brother will definitely not let himself go.

"So, Lord Song, do you have any good ideas? Now that we've all talked about this step, you might as well open the skylight and say something bright, as long as you can help me, I will definitely double the reward in the future! ”

After this temptation and confrontation, Chu Shenghuai completely lost the mind to control the Song family, and he didn't dare to use Qiao's identity to oppress people anymore, as long as the other party could help him solve the food crisis, even if they were unwilling to join his team, it didn't matter.

Even if the current Song family is in the mud, not everyone can control it casually.

After thinking about it, Chu Shenghuai has repeatedly lowered his requirements, from wanting to control the Song family to being helpless, and now as long as the Song family does not become hostile to him, he is very satisfied.

As for his plans before he came? Now that they have all disappeared cleanly, since they can't become allies on a front with the Song family, they must at least maintain a friendly relationship.

At this moment, the two people in the room strangely reached the same idea, not seeking to be comrades-in-arms, nor willing to be enemies with them, as long as they maintain a good relationship, no one will hinder anyone.

Song Shaoqin also did not sell Guanzi, and directly stated, "Our Baiyun Village can provide food for your army to ensure that your grain and grass will not be broken." ”

They had planned to develop the product economy in the village, and the grain was naturally included, if it was the local grain of Dongchu, he would not be able to do this deal, but they now have high-yield potatoes in Baiyun Village.

When spring begins, the village will continue to open up land and increase the amount of grain planted, not only potatoes, but also sweet potatoes, which also have high yields.

With these two kinds of high-yield grain, they will not run out of food in Baiyun Village, of course, they will definitely have to go to modern times when the time comes, and then purchase a batch of ready-made potatoes and sweet potatoes to join them, otherwise, the grain and grass provided to the army will be a little insufficient.

"You're giving us food?" Chu Shenghuai felt a little absurd, this small mountain village could grow the food that their army needed?

It wasn't that he deliberately looked down on them, but that an army consumed more food every day than their entire village could eat.

He just doesn't know the affairs of the field, but he also knows that the output of an acre of land is only five or six hundred catties at most, and in addition to the public grain handed over, there is not much surplus grain left in the hands of the common people, otherwise why are there so many people starving to death in this world?

Even if all the people in this village were to cultivate the land, the amount of food produced would not be enough for an army to cultivate the land.

Song Shaoqin smiled lightly, "Don't worry, since I said so, I naturally have this confidence, not to mention that with our current identity, how dare we fool and deceive the prince?" To tell you the truth, we actually found a new crop on our way to exile.

After months of painstaking thinking and planting observations, we found that this crop can be used as a staple food, and most importantly, the yield of this crop is several times higher than all our current grain species. ”

"Really? So what is this food? Chu Shenghuai was a little excited, but he still had some doubts about the output of this new grain in his heart.

After all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, let alone heard of any high-yield grain, who didn't know if Song Shaoqin was deliberately fooling himself?

Song Shaoqin said calmly, "Naturally, we can't fake it, we named this new grain plant, and the planting method of this new crop is our painstaking research, which took us a lot of thought and energy, and our village is ready to start planting a large area next month."

The prince doesn't have to worry about the harvest time not being in time, our potato harvest time only takes about three months, and it can be provided in time before you run out of food. ”

"Three months? So fast? ”

Chu Shenghuai was surprised, what kind of grain can be harvested in such a short time? And is it several times higher than the yield of local grain?

Looking at Song Shaoqin like this, it doesn't look like he is telling a lie, and he doesn't bother to tell this lie in his style, right?

He was now curious about the new crop called 'potatoes'.

But he wasn't stupid, did he really think he didn't hear the meaning of Song Shaoqin's words?

Isn't saying so much just to show that they will not hand over this new crop, and the planting method is only known to them in the whole world, if they want to continue to produce food and grass in the future, then the best way is to ask them to buy it from Baiyun Village.

This is also indirectly telling himself that if he still tries to coerce, then only the fish will die, and the net will be broken, after all, if they are gone, then no one will be able to grow this potato.

Therefore, this cooperation is undoubtedly the best way for both sides to maintain friendly relations.

Since they can't become allies, they still have a layer of cooperative relationship, which can be regarded as mutual assistance and reciprocity.

Song Shaoqin said, "That's right, the harvest can be harvested in three months at the earliest, and two crops can be planted a year, with such a high-yield and efficient grain seed, I wonder if our Baiyun Village is qualified to cooperate with you, Lord Wang?" ”

Good night~
