Chapter 2072
In the middle of July, good news came from Shandong and Hebei, saying that the yield of trial planting potato was more than 1000 Jin / mu, and at least 700 Jin / mu.
Meng Nian said happily: "if the promotion is open, we don't have to worry about food any more."
Yan Wushuang was not so optimistic: "Han Yuxi stipulated that people in Northwest China should only plant potato on sloping land and newly reclaimed land, and not use good farmland." This year, the planting area of potato in Northwest China is very wide. It is estimated that there are more than 100000, but it does not account for half of the good farmland. Inside, it's thought-provoking.
Meng Nian immediately understood: "Lord, I will send someone to inquire." I'm afraid there are some shortcomings in planting this potato.
Before long, Meng Nian handed a superstition letter to Yan Wushuang: "Wang Ye, the spy from Jiangnan sent it back urgently."
"What did you say?"
"Our people found that someone had secretly bought a lot of grain. It was found a few days ago that the grain was transported to the northwest through various channels. " With that, Meng Nian's face was dignified: "Lord, the Northwest has a bumper harvest this year. Why do Yunqing and Han Yuxi still have to buy so much food?" This year, the Northwest has collected hundreds of millions of Jin of potato, wheat and other grains, which are enough for the northwest people to eat until next year. So the couple's abnormal behavior made him uneasy.
Yan no two-sided color slightly changed, said: "there is a rumor that Han Yuxi has the ability to predict. Do you think she will know there is a big natural disaster, so she will hoard a lot of grain this year. " If he only hoards more than 100000 stones, he will not find them. Obviously, they bought more than that.
"Lord, if Han Yuxi really had the ability to predict, he would not have nearly died that day." Anyway, I don't believe that Han Yuxi has the ability to predict.
Yan Wushuang didn't believe it, but he really thought that Yuxi sometimes acted strangely: "whether it's true or not, she can't buy grain in such a large quantity. Meng Nian, immediately send someone to invite Master Yu Yu Baojia, governor of Jiangnan, has long ignored the words of the imperial court. However, he and Master Yu are family brothers, and also rely on the governor. It's more useful to ask the master to come forward and say this than to give him a direct order.
When Master Yu knew this, he wrote to Yu Baojia and asked him not to let the grain from the south of the Yangtze River flow to the northwest.
As a result, not long after the letter was sent out, the imperial court received an official letter from the northwest. According to the official letter, several years old farmers said that there might be a big drought in the northwest next year, so they planted a large area of high-yield potato this year.
Meng Nian said with some doubts: "Mr. Wang, as soon as we learned that she bought a lot of grain, she said that there might be a severe drought in Northwest China next year. Wang Ye, do you think it's a coincidence? "
Yan Wushuang said, "this kind of thing is better to believe than to believe."
"Han just said there might be a big drought in the northwest, not in other places," Meng said
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "if it's really just a big drought in the northwest, why do you send such an official letter to the imperial court in a big way. Don't talk about it any more. Go to buy food before the news spreads. The more the better. " When the news comes, I'm afraid the grain will go up.
Meng Nian said suspiciously, "Mr. Wang, do you think that Han's release of this news is just like the fear caused by our rising food prices?" With Han's ingenuity, this possibility is not without.
Yan Wushuang nodded and said, "it's possible for you to say that." So if we want to buy food, we can't let the news out.
It's a good idea, but the Treasury can't come up with money. Finally, Yan unparalleled himself out of the silver, let Meng Nian to buy food.
There will be a drought next year, and it didn't take long for it to leak out. Some of them, like Yu Baojia, the governor of Jiangnan, scolded Yuxi and Yunqing for bewitching the public and causing social panic. There are also people who prefer to believe that they have something or not and hoard grain secretly. However, because this year is a good harvest year, even if there is this rumor, the grain price is only 10% higher than usual.
Jade Chen know this matter some worry, and Yan unparalleled said: "Wang Ye, I believe jade Xi will not be aimless.". Lord, let's hoard more grain, too! " Once there is a severe drought, it means that there will be no harvest and the people will not be able to live. At that time, it will cause social shock.
Yan Wushuang said: "I also want to buy more grain, but the Treasury has no money."
Although Yu Baojia did not believe that there would be a severe drought next year, he began to restrict the flow of grain out of Jiangnan. However, he agreed to sell Yan Wushuang 1.2 million stone grain at the market price.
Jade Chen smell speech a little bit not to hesitate to say: "I still have more than 100000 Liang silver in hand.". Lord, take them all to buy food! " Once in famine, money is dead.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "this is a drop in the bucket." Besides, he won't use women's money.
Many people think Yan Wushuang is too timid when he knows that he has bought so much grain from his private house. Han's and Yun Qing clearly have different intentions to scare them. Unexpectedly, Yan Wushuang took it seriously.
For some ministers' private criticism, Yan Wushuang knew it but didn't take it seriously.
After the grain purchase agreement was signed, Yan Wushuang asked his people to transport the 1.2 million stone grain directly to Tongcheng. Even if next year's drought, with this 1.2 million grain, the soldiers in the border town will not be hungry.
For Yan Wushuang, no one can lose the soldiers in the border town. This is the same idea as cloud engine. This is also because both of them are generals, and they know the hardships and difficulties of the generals.
The autumn harvest in Jiangnan this year also brought in a lot of grain. At this point, people are more and more sure that Yunqing and Yuxi said that the next year's drought is deceptive. These people completely ignored the fact that the official letter only said that there might be a major drought in the northwest next year, not in the whole country.
Meng Nian and Yan said: "Lord, Han Yuxi and Yun Qing sent people to buy food in Jiangnan. Yu Baojia didn't stop him, but raised the price of grain by 30%. But unexpectedly, Han Yuxi and Yun Qing still bought two million stone grain. "
This is still on the surface, privately Yuxi let Tian Yang buy a large number of grain to hide.
Yan matchless calm face said: "Han's most shrewd, usually others take no advantage of her.". She is willing to buy it at 30% higher price. It seems that she is sure that there will be a big drought in Northwest China next year. "
Meng Nian was also worried, but after hearing this, he said, "Lord, the northwest is already short of water. It's not unusual that there will be a big drought next year."
"I'm afraid of the drought, not just in the northwest." To spread to Shanxi, Hebei and other places, the imperial court will not be able to provide relief, and there will be chaos. But he just thought about it in his heart and didn't say it.
Meng Nian hesitated and said, "Lord, why don't we buy another two million stone grain to hoard?" If there is a drought, at least the stability of the capital must be guaranteed. With these grains, the capital will not be in chaos.
Yan Wushuang said: "this time, you go to Jiangnan to find Yu Baojia." Save the rest of you. This guy's got a big mouth. He doesn't want to be slaughtered by Yu Baojia as Han Yuxi.
No, Baojia is only willing to sell them one million stone grain at the market price, and then they have to buy it according to the price sold to Yunqing. Meng Nian didn't have so much money on hand. He only bought one million stones.
It was snowing when the grain was transported to Tianjin by sea. Yan unparalleled consider next, leave this batch of grain in Tianjin.
After the Spring Festival, Meng Nian and Yan unparalleled about this: "Lord, will this batch of grain be transported back to the capital?"
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "this grain is staying there for the time being. Don't move." When there's a drought, we'll bring in the grain, so that we can stabilize the morale of the people and the army.
In April, not only in the northwest, but also in Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong.
All over the country, begging for relief from the imperial court, flew to the capital like snowflakes. The minister in the court is flustered.
Yan Wushuang wanted to relieve the disaster, but the court had no money or food to take. Therefore, he can only look at the fold every day to write how many people starved to death.
It hasn't rained for more than a month, and the seedlings have withered, and the land is dry enough to crack. Many ordinary people can't see it and begin to flee. Some have gone to the south of the Yangtze River, and others have come to the capital.
Originally, the imperial court decided to go to Jiangnan to persuade Yu Baojia to provide food for the disaster relief. As a result, due to continuous heavy rain for several days in Jiangnan, many fertile fields were flooded. This situation lasted for more than half a month. Although there will be no harvest, the reduction of production is certain. In this case, how could Yu Baojia come up with food for disaster relief.
The tide of refugees generally poured out of the capital, which brought great pressure and security risks to the capital.
Some of the ministers in the court knew that Yan Wushuang had hoarded a large amount of grain, and they begged him to help the victims. Unfortunately, Yan matchless mercilessly refused: "I have sent all the grain to the border town. No one can starve the soldiers who died in the border town. " Although Liaodong was not affected, because of the particularity of the region, even if Liaodong did not encounter natural disasters, the food produced each year was barely enough for itself. So it is very difficult to get grain from Liaodong.
Minister of the Ministry of official, Rong Jianwen, said anxiously, "Lord, if the imperial court let these refugees go, there will be trouble." Once a man is hungry, he can do anything.
Yan matchless said: "what's your good way?"
Lord Xin, the Minister of rites, said, "Lord, the king of Pingxi has hoarded a lot of grain. We can borrow from him." The northwest had a good harvest last year. They also bought millions of grain from the south of the Yangtze River.
Yan wushuangqi laughed: "do you think Yunqing will lend us food?" You don't have to ask about it. You know it's impossible.
"How do you know if they will borrow it?" he said Maybe he is kind-hearted and willing to lend them food!
Lord Geng, the Minister of the Ministry of accounts, said, "Lord, have a try." Although we know that the promise of Pingxi Wang and his wife is very small, there is no better way now. Let alone that the imperial court has no money, even if it has money, it will not be able to buy food in this situation.
Seeing that many ministers agreed with the proposal, Yan Wushuang sent an official letter in the name of the imperial court.
Yunqing and Yuxi soon replied, but they didn't say that they would not borrow food. They only said that the northwest suffered from a severe drought, and now they have starved and thirsty to death. In the official letter, the couple also expressed the hope that the imperial court could rescue the northwest people.
Meng Nian said happily: "if the promotion is open, we don't have to worry about food any more."
Yan Wushuang was not so optimistic: "Han Yuxi stipulated that people in Northwest China should only plant potato on sloping land and newly reclaimed land, and not use good farmland."
