Chapter 493 is good
After crossing the Longmen Bridge, it was soon to Hancheng County, Tongguan Province.
As an important military town and a major transportation route, this place is still in the hands of the imperial court.
Shi Kefa deliberately went to the grain store and asked about the price of grain, as he expected, the closer it was to Chengcheng County, the closer the price of grain, and the price of grain here had dropped to 120 Wen Yidou, only a little higher than in the non-natural disaster years.
As a direct effect of the drop in food prices, the entire city has seen a recovery of industries, the streets have become prosperous again, industry and commerce have begun to recover, and the smiles on the faces of the people have been restored.
Shi Kefa casually walked a few steps on the street, and saw a storyteller in a roadside teahouse telling a story: "Anyway, Shi Si, when he arrived in Gaojia Village, Chengcheng County, he worked hard for a few days and earned some strength and money. Then you have to learn some skills, so I packed a bag of flour, lifted two taels of bacon, and wanted to find a blacksmith to learn the art, but I didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the house, when he arrived at the bamboo forest, he felt a pain in the back of his head, touched, and was knocked unconscious......"
When Shi Kefa heard this, he was actually interested, and couldn't help but stop and want to know the follow-up.
The storyteller put the fan away: "I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown." ”
Shi Kefa was angry: "Keep talking!" Good don't learn, learn out of context? ”
"Don't be angry, come and have a cup of tea." The shopkeeper served him a cup of fragrant tea.
Shi Kefa took it and drank it casually, the expression on his face suddenly froze, ordinary people may not be able to drink it, but he can taste it in one sip, this tea is actually a first-class Longjing before the rain, is there any mistake? Even in the wealthy places of Suzhou and Hangzhou, this quality of Longjing before the rain is not something that roadside teahouses can provide.
Only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford it.
In this Hancheng, the small teahouse on the side of the road poured me a cup?
Shi Kefa: "Where did you buy this tea?" ”
The shopkeeper said happily: "The shopkeeper's younger brother brought it back, he was a teacher in the Gaojia Village School in Chengcheng County, it is said that this tea is a special condolence for Mr. Teaching, Tianzun gave it by himself, he doesn't like to drink tea, so he sent someone back to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper is not good at tea, so he simply took it out to entertain guests." ”
Hearing the word Tianzun, Shi Kefa instantly understood. What is this quality of tea? Tianzun can even directly give one to the Yellow River Bridge.
He patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder: "Tell your shopkeeper, this tea is not easy to buy in Jiangnan, it is very expensive, don't use it to invite people to drink it casually." ”
Shopkeeper: "Huh? Is it such a good tea? ”
After such a break, Mr. Storyteller had already run away, and Shi Kefa didn't hear the follow-up of the story, and was quite disappointed: "Then Mr. Storyteller tells the story, what is the follow-up?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "The story he told is "Gao Piao", in fact, most of the people in Hancheng have read the villain book, but I just heard that Mr. Storyteller will talk about it again and make a scene, if the official is interested, you can buy a villain book to see." ”
Shi Kefa: "Where's the bookstore?" ”
Please visit the latest address
Shopkeeper: "The corner in front is." ”
When Shi Kefa arrived at the bookstore, he saw that it was full of books, half of which were all kinds of literary works he was familiar with, what four books, five classics, three kingdoms, water margin, but the other half was very strange, what "Chinese", "mathematics", "physics", "chemistry", just looking at the name, he could only understand the first two, and the back of "physics" and "chemistry", which simply made Shi Kefa look confused.
In addition to these things, there are also a lot of picture books, "Daoxuan Tianzun Demon Extermination", this name immediately attracted his attention, thinking of Tianzun's gift of the bridge, he didn't care about three seven twenty-one, first buy a complete set of six volumes, let the entourage hold it.
Moving forward in the same way, "Yang Jiajiang", "The Biography of Yue Fei", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", all kinds of villain books began to appear, and the book "Gao Piao" he wanted to buy was also crowded into it.
Shi Kefa is also a rich man, whatever, sweep the goods, all the books he has not seen, whether it is text or picture books, buy them all, and let the entourage hold them.
Originally, he came to buy "Gao Piao" and wanted to see the story of Shi Si after being knocked unconscious, but he didn't expect that among the books he bought, he was most interested in "The Legend of Daoxuan Tianzun Eliminating Demons", so he looked through this book while walking.
Not long after, the team left Hancheng and marched towards Heyang County.
Shi Kefa flipped through the villain book on horseback, six volumes in a row, and after reading all of them, he finally understood "Tianzun".
I couldn't help but be secretly shocked in my heart: it turned out that what I met at the Longmen Ferry was the Tianzun in the book, who appeared in the world and talked to me.
"My lord, the farmland in Heyang County, the crops are growing very well, and they are too good to be normal."
When the attendant saw that he had finished reading the book, he hurried to report to him.
Shi Kefa closed the book and looked around, the surrounding farmland was really growing gratifyingly, so that people could know at a glance that this year would be a bumper harvest, and it would be several times more than the harvest in previous years.
If he hadn't read "The Legend of Daoxuan Tianzun Destroying Demons", he would definitely be surprised now, but after reading the book, he already knew it in his heart, and said lightly: "This is because Tianzun has given immortal fertilizer to the farmers in this place, as long as the crops are watered with immortal fertilizer, the harvest will be doubled, well, the third volume of this book talks about this, you can take a good look." ”
The attendant took the book and flipped through it a few times, and suddenly realized.
Shi Kefa stretched out his hand and took out the secret letter from his sleeve, looked at the report he wrote: "Grain prices are abnormally low", and sighed lightly: "Chengcheng County and Heyang County, the combined population of the two counties during the Apocalypse was about 16 to 200,000 people, that is, if there was no drought, the grain output in these two places could have supported almost 200,000 people, and now, the grain output has doubled compared with normal years, and the grain in these two counties can feed 400,000 people!" If you add in the reclamation of some more wasteland, it will not be a problem to feed 500,000 people. ”
Shi Kefa: "I also wrote a secret letter before, questioning why the food here is so cheap and why it can accommodate a large number of refugees? Now that this is calculated, accepting this refugee is really nothing, even if Tianzun doesn't make a move, he can afford hundreds of thousands of disaster victims just by relying on the grain produced in the farmland, not to mention that Tianzun has to give some materials from time to time. ”
Shi Kefa is a good calculation!
Since Li Daoxuan gave Chengcheng County rain and provided chemical fertilizer, the grain he gave began to deliberately decrease, so that the two counties could learn to be self-sufficient. The hard-working people have not lived up to his expectations, and they have already realized that they have grown their own grain to feed themselves, and there is still more to sell to the village treasury.
Thirty-two were then transferred from the village treasury and distributed to the prisoners in re-education through labor.
And most of the food given by Li Daoxuan now has been transferred directly to Shanxi.
