Chapter 796 (1/2)

Wheat in July and millet in September. The harvest of millet is not as good as that of wheat, but compared with the previous years, it is very pleasant.

After killing several profiteers, the government set a minimum price for food. Now the price of food in the northwest is very stable.

Looking at the folds sent from the place, Yuxi's face also showed a rare smile. When all kinds of grain were collected, more than half of the granaries of the government were full.

Xu Wu asked: ”princess, do you want to go to Jiangnan to buy food this year?” In the past two years, a large number of grains have been purchased from Jiangnan, Taiyuan and other places. Because the road is far, and now the road is not peaceful, the cost of buying food is actually very large.

Yuxi said, ”I want to buy it.” In fact, the government does not store a lot of food, and natural and man-made disasters can not last for a year.

”Princess, the price of food in Jiangnan is 20% higher than last year,” Xu said Jiangnan has been fairly smooth in the past two years, and there has been no major natural or man-made disaster. But from time to time, there were rebellions in Hubei, Henan and other places. In addition, many people died in these years, and the land was largely abandoned. These places have to buy food from the outside without food, resulting in higher food prices year by year.

Yuxi frowned, and said, ”the price of grain is higher than last year, but also more.”

Xu Wu didn't understand. He asked, ”we have a good grain harvest this year, and if the potato is to be popularized in an all-round way next year, there will be more grains. Why do we go to Jiangnan to buy so many grains?” The grain they bought was not transported from Henan, but from Hubei.

People who have been hungry like to save food, Yuxi is no exception. I always feel that I don't have food in my hand. I'm very flustered and insecure, but I can't say it. Yuxi said, ”can you guarantee that next year will be as smooth as this year?”

Xu Wu shakes his head. No one can guarantee such a thing.

Yuxi said, ”that's not it. If there is a natural disaster, then it will be twice or even several times more than now to buy food. ” In the evening, Yuxi told Yunqing, ”I want to spend another million silver this year to buy food.” In addition to food, other things, such as soy brown sugar, have to be stored.

Looking at Yuxi, Yunqing asked doubtfully, ”our harvest this year is very good. There is no need to buy so many more grains? Besides, we have potato. ” This year's harvest of potato is very good. In addition, Tian Yang has bought more than 40000 Jin of seeds. This year, he can plant a large area.

Yuxi said: ”four years ago, one or two silvers could buy three stone grains, but now one or two silvers and two stone grains can't. Once there is a natural disaster, money can't buy food. There is a lot of food in our granary, but it can only last until April and may next year. ” In times of turmoil, only a few Jin of grain can be bought for one or two silver coins.

Yuxi likes to store more food. As Yunqing, a pillow man, how can he not know. For Yuxi's little hobby, Yunqing thinks it's very interesting.

Yun Qing said with a smile, ”I like to store food so much. I don't know if I thought you were hungry.” Yuxi is the daughter of the government. Even if Han Jingyan didn't like her as a child, she couldn't go hungry. Besides, she has a large room to look after.

Yuxi's heart leaped, but his face didn't show: ”I haven't heard you say that because of the natural disaster, you all gnawed grass and tree roots because of lack of food? We have food in our hands. There is a natural disaster. The soldiers will not have to suffer that again. ”

Yunqing is either against it or joking, but Yuxi's answer makes him very satisfied: ”so many grains can't be stored in the granary.”

Yuxi shook his head and said, ”He Rui, these grains will not be put in the granary of the government.” Yuxi is going to store these grains in secret.

Yunqing was a little surprised and asked, ”do you mean to hide these grains? Why hide the food? ” Now they are in charge in the northwest. There is no need to hide it when buying a grain. Unless Yuxi has other ideas.

Yuxi said, ”it's not to hide, it's not to let the court's spies know where we hide our food. Hori, I always feel that the next two years will not be as smooth as it is now. Save more grain now, and the northwest will have more stability in the future. ” As long as there is food, the northwest will always be peaceful.

Yun Qing's heart was in awe and asked, ”have you dreamt of anything bad?” It's normal to think so. It was a pleasant thing to have received so much food. As a result, Yuxi now says something about the natural disaster, so Yunqing has to think more about it.

Yuxi shook his head and said, ”no, just this feeling.”

Yunqing thought for a moment and nodded: ”I'll take care of the granary.” In case of being discovered, the army will build it in a secret place, so that the scouts can't find out if they want to.

Yuxi said, ”it's better to build more.” The more food she kept, the more secure she was when the disaster came.
