Chapter 700 (2/2)

Gu Jiu stood on the corridor, speechless looking at the sky.

She dragged her heavy body to the small study.

As soon as she arrived, Liu Zhao's roar stopped abruptly.

It takes only a second to switch from roar to gentleness.

”How did you get here! Mind your feet. Since you are tired, lie down and rest. ”

With that, he went to the door and helped Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu said with a smile, ”I've been lying for a day and I've come out to walk around. Why do you yell at them again? You can teach them slowly

”I didn't yell at them, but I gave them some advice.” Liu Zhao was serious nonsense.

Heng Ge'er looks at Gu Jiu pitifully. His small eyes are innocent and aggrieved.

Gu Jiu pursed his lips with a smile, ”let Yu Ge'er supervise Heng Ge'er to do his homework, so don't make trouble here. You see what scares the child into. ”

Liu Zhao changed his face in a second and glared at Heng elder brother. He was very fierce, ”he didn't scare me. I didn't see it.”

Gu nine gas smile, ”you follow out, don't delay children to write homework.”

How dare Liu Zhao not obey.

He first sent Gu Jiu out of the house and then warned his two sons, ”be honest with your homework. Yu Ge'er supervises your younger brother. If you can't write it well, you will be punished. ”

Yu Ge'er secretly sighed, ”it's hard to be the boss! It is even more difficult to be the leader of the Liu family. ”

It is the happiest to be a young child.

At this moment, Yu Ge'er began to envy his mother's brother or sister.

Liu Zhao supported Gu Jiu for a walk in the garden.

It's warm after the sunset.

No accident, tomorrow will be another sunny day.

Gu Jiu asked casually, ”is it going well today?”

Liu Zhao said lightly: ”that's it. In a few days, the imperial court will formally issue a ban on the production of alcohol from all grains. Once discovered, it will be severely punished. Even sweet potato wine is not allowed to be brewed. Only the distillery in Shaofu has a quota of wine every year. ”

Gu Jiu knew, ”this day still comes.”

In the last ten years, I don't know what happened to God.

Throughout the week, droughts and floods were staged in turn.

The year before last, the main grain producing areas suffered a once-in-a-century flood. After a hard season of rice harvest, the result of the flood, all destroyed.

Last year, when spring ploughing and sowing were needed for irrigation, the main grain producing areas suffered another severe drought. For three or four months in a row, a drop of rain did not fall.

The disaster area stretches for thousands of miles, causing heavy losses.

The problem of insufficient food was highlighted in front of the imperial court.

In the past years, natural and man-made disasters occurred frequently all over the country.

The reason why they can still cope with it depends on the main grain producing areas.

As long as there is no problem in the main grain producing areas in the south, under the leadership of the Ministry of housing, the problem of grain for disaster relief can always be solved.

But this time, the disaster spread to the main grain producing areas.

Two years in a row, nothing.

The reserve grain of the imperial court almost bottomed out.

The closing positions of local governments have been empty.The warehouse in the Ministry of Hubu is also half empty.

The remaining half, however, dare not use it.

It's February. It's months before the summer harvest.

The capital has a population of two or three million, but they all depend on Jingcang to eat.

If all the grain in Jingcang is transported to the disaster area, there will be a famine in the capital.

We should know that over 90% of the millions of people in the capital are landless peasants who depend on buying grain for cooking.

Once the grain shop does not sell grain, chaos will occur in the capital.

The chaos in the capital is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the great Zhou Dynasty.

However, the victims of the disaster in the South also had to be rescued.

Sweet potato can solve some problems, but not all problems.

When spring ploughing comes, where does the seed come from? How to solve the problem of food for victims?

If these problems are not solved, there will be chaos in the south.

The chaos in the grain producing area is not far from the chaos in the whole world.

You know, the West and the north have been dry all these years. Besides sweet potato, there is still a little harvest, and other crops are almost finished.

These places are counting on the south to transport grain to survive.

Troops stationed at the border are also looking to the south to deliver food.

The whole world is counting on the south.

Results there was no grain yield for two years.

It's killing me.

In fact, it is a little late to issue the prohibition order at this time.

The people of Dazhou are fond of wine.

From south to north, people like to drink.

Generally, wine can not meet people's needs. Only when the grain wine is brewed can it be regarded as a real good wine.

Five Jin grain and one Jin wine.

Every year, in order to brew wine, the loss of food is hard to count.

The grain has turned into wine, which means that some people will be hungry.

People can only buy grain at high prices.

A few years ago, the court repeatedly ordered that private wine making should not be allowed among the people.

But it can't stop the big family from making wine.

This time, the imperial court issued a prohibition order, which was also forced to be anxious.

Only formal laws and regulations can prevent large-scale wine making. Only in this way can the local government have laws to abide by and deal with the crime of making wine without permission.

It's nothing for ordinary people to make wine, but it's really frightening to make big wine.

I don't know how to waste hundreds of thousands of Jin, millions of Jin, or even tens of millions of Jin of grain to wine every year.

Who makes drinks more profitable.

Big family means more people.

It takes money to raise so many people.

Where does the money come from?

Nature is what makes money.

The wine making business is so profitable and stable for a long time. Naturally, large businesses will not miss such a profitable business.

There are so many fields and grains in a big family's family. It's suitable to make wine.

Grain is taken to make wine, where there is surplus food for people to eat.

It's no surprise that the price of grain is going up.

Coupled with the frequent occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, a vicious circle has been formed.

Gu Jiu said lightly: ”sweet potato is not allowed to make wine, so the distillery will be closed. Sweet potato wine has poor taste, low price and low profit. It doesn't matter whether you do it or not. ”

Liu Zhao nodded, ”I will tell the people below and close the winery.”

Gu Jiu said: ”the prohibition order is a temporary cure, not a root cause.”

”Everyone knows that alcohol prohibition is not a permanent cure, but it has to be done. The problem now is where to get a batch of grain to solve the urgent problem. ”

Liu Zhao stares at Gu Jiu with deep meaning.

Gu nine slanted his one eye, ”don't look at me, I can't change grain.”

Liu Zhao said, ”you can! I know you can! ”
