Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 865

Chapter 865 Encounter

For others, this blizzard in Liangzhou, which has never been seen in decades, may be in a hurry, or even at a loss.

But Governor Feng must be much calmer than others when dealing with this kind of incident.

Because Longyou is the preview of Liangzhou.

The difference is that one is a severe drought and the other is a blizzard.

One region is small and the other is large.

But those are all sudden natural disasters.

Although he was furious and anxious, it didn't mean that Governor Feng would have no good strategies.

Feng Junhou's capital came out of the mountain, one is Ping Nan Ce, the other is Lian Wu Ce, and the other is the farming method.

Quyuan plow, eight ox plow, improved farming techniques, those are all farming methods.

Along the way, whether it's offering flesh and blood to make the man rich, or offering wool to make the man rich, or other sugarcane brown sugar and so on.

The premise of doing all this is that Governor Feng always keeps one thing firmly in mind: agriculture is the primary industry.

Whether it is the handicraft industry, the wool spinning industry, or even the agricultural and sideline food industry, and the reprocessing of agricultural products, it is all based on having enough food in hand.

Only those who have food are qualified to consider how to go further. Without food, everything you do is a castle on the beach.

With food in hand, don't panic.

The Governor's Mansion has food in hand, Liangzhou Haoyou is also willing to help, and even the other side of Shu can also collect a lot of food.

But the crux of the problem is how to transport the grain to Liangzhou.

So whether Governor Feng is irritable or angry, it is not because of lack of food.

Of course, there is indeed a little shortage of food.

Otherwise, Secretary Zhang would not say that food cannot be rationed according to the full quota.

But the more important reason is that a considerable part, or even most, of the large-scale transport livestock saved by Governor Feng over the years will be wasted in this natural disaster.

For Feng Shishi, who had been planning to deploy three years ago and wanted to become a mule, it was three years of accumulation and more than half of the loss.

This kind of setback that required to go back made Governor Feng furious, and that was a matter of course.

The news that made Inspector Feng furious was certainly not good news.

But for some people who have been in Nanxiang Exchange all year round, it is rare good news:

There is finally a reason to increase the price of food!

Over the years, the Nanxiang Exchange and the Reserve Bureau have held several big reward activities where they hang themselves on the southeast branch and go to Qingchi.

Let everyone speculate in grain, and taste what is called the iron fist of Han feudalism.

Hanzhong, Yuexuan, Jiangzhou and other places are all grain-producing areas of the imperial court.

The Huang family (Huang Chong) and the Ju family (Ju Fu) made a good start, plus the backstabs of the He family and the sixth house of the Li family.

So even in the Shudi Plain, the headquarters of the aristocratic families in central Shu, there are many families that are inextricably linked with the Xinghan Society.

It can be said that after rectifying, disintegrating, and buying the aristocratic families in Shu, the imperial court and Xinghan Hui, the government has now controlled most of the grain production in Shu.

Combined with the regulatory role of the exchange, some people want to make trouble in the food industry, and the difficulty will increase exponentially.

The big man has won successive battles outside in recent years, and his internal development momentum is not weak.

The lower-level Cangtou Guishou at least don't have to starve to death anymore. It's not impossible for the whole family to be fed for a year if they work harder.

If you add a little bit of luck, for example, those who moved to Nanxiang or Yuejuan, there is still hope of turning around.

As for the upper class, let alone.

Just the emerging rich and powerful, not only have the opportunity to accumulate a foundation, but also have the opportunity to overtake other cars in a corner, breaking the various monopolies of those century-old romantic families.

It can be said that the whole country is enjoying the dividends brought about by development—except for some conservative families.

It's just a centipede, dead but not stiff.

Relying on the heritage accumulated over hundreds of years or even hundreds of years, the conservative family still has the opportunity to linger on their last days, and at the same time, they still have the opportunity to drink soup occasionally.

For example, from the second half of the previous year to the first half of last year, the Wei army invaded Hanzhong, fought at Xiaoguan, and regained Liangzhou.

In just over a year, there were three major confrontations between the Han and Wei Dynasties, and even more minor confrontations.

The amount of money and food spent is simply massive.

That is to say, the big man has the confidence now, and he is united from top to bottom, otherwise it may not be as easy as it is now.

But even so, the big man's government may not have much grain in stock.

As soon as the news of the white disaster in Liangzhou reached Hanzhong, the food supply of the Nanxiang Exchange finally became a bit overwhelming.

"It's over! It's over two hundred dollars!"

The exchange began to get a little restless.

The so-called soup refers to this kind of time.

The old-fashioned family that has not enjoyed the bonus of the big man these years finally still has a lot of land in their hands. If there is land, there will naturally be food.

When the food price has risen, it is time to pick up the leak and drink the soup.

In the past few years, the price of food has never exceeded 200 yuan, but this time it has exceeded 200 yuan, which is already something worth cheering for them.

"Things are not that simple. I don't know how much money and food were consumed in the war last year."

"So in my opinion, the government's treasury may not be able to produce much food at once."

Having said that, a certain folk think tank lowered his voice:

"The most important thing is that Mrs. Mu is not in Nanxiang! Nanxiang does not have Mrs. Mu presiding over the overall situation. Some people may not be able to sit still!"

There are also people who disagree with this point of view:

"I heard that the disciples of Feng Cishi and Mu Niangzi are here now. Thinking about people who are far-sighted like Feng Cishi, if they are not at ease, how can they let these two preside over the overall situation in Nanxiang?"

"Exactly! I heard that Young Master of the Wei family is the chief disciple of Feng Cishi's door. He has outstanding talent. He taught in Nanxiang Academy on his behalf. Even Mr. Xiang once praised him!"

Old Mr. Xiang is naturally Xiang Lang who voluntarily withdrew from the court and concentrated on learning.

The folk think tank said with a sneer:

"Great talent, can you preside over the overall situation without experience? Do you remember Ma Su and Ma Youchang back then?"

"The prime minister has painstakingly taught him the art of war for many years. During the battle of Longyou, what happened when he led the army for the first time?"

I saw this folk think tank frothing and said, "Even Governor Feng saw the battle in front of the battle for the first time since the Southern Expedition."

"Then led the army to quell the riots in Yuejuan, and trained troops in Yuejuan extensively. There were many elite soldiers and generals under his command. Finally, he won a great victory in the battle of Longyou."

"Isn't this the same as Nanxiang's current situation?"

As he spoke, the folk think tank shook his head worryingly:

"If Miss Mu is still in Nanxiang, the price of food will naturally be suppressed, but now, I'm afraid it will cost more than two hundred dollars..."

After being reminded by this, many people suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.

That's right!

Ms. Mu has a lot of prestige in Nanxiang. If she is here, the price of food may not even be able to pass two hundred yuan.

But if she is gone, plus the two years of successive wars with the Wei State, the treasury is empty, and now there is a white disaster in Liangzhou, I am afraid that the price of food will not only cost more than two hundred dollars.

Some people in the crowd even thought to themselves, this time it might not be as simple as being able to drink soup, maybe they can also eat some meat.

Think about these years, how long have you not eaten meat?

"It's just nonsense!"

Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.

A young man stood up with a flushed face, glaring at the folk think tank:

"I heard that Wei Langjun and Ding Niangzi have both studied under Feng Shishi since childhood. Wei Langjun has been in charge of the school these years and has never made a mistake."

"Ms. Ding first followed Governor Feng to Yuexuan to manage many affairs, and then came to Nanxiang to follow Mrs. Mu."

"If it wasn't for the trust of Governor Feng, ordinary people would be treated like this? Therefore, what you said must be absurd."

Over the years, Governor Feng has grown from a young hero to the number one man of the Han Dynasty, and finally became a famous general in the world.

is the idol in the hearts of many big men.

Now when I hear someone questioning my idol, I can't help it.

The folk think tank seemed a little ashamed when he heard these words, and immediately sneered:

"After all, the white disaster in Liangzhou requires real grain. If there is grain in Hanzhong, then you can see that there is Dongfeng Express to transport grain north?"

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the exchange again:

"I have counted the days. In this exchange, there are several times more brands that want to pay this month than before."

"Guess, how many of them are urgently going to Liangzhou?"

Based on the transaction type and delivery time of the exchange, it can be deduced that Liangzhou's food shortage situation made many people's eyes light up and they felt enlightened.

The young man was also taken aback, but he quickly fought back:

"The Liangzhou white disaster, the government must find a way to raise more food, rather more than less, but it may not necessarily rely on the food raised by the exchange."

"In recent years, my big man has been in close contact with the state of Wu, and there has been no war for a long time. Therefore, there must be food in Jiangzhou."

Having said that, he looked around the crowd again, with a smug look on his face:

"It is also Yuejuan County, and now it is a field of transportation, with fertile fields and cattle and horses. Do you think that if there is a shortage of food in Liangzhou, will there be food shipped from Yuejuan?"

The more the young people talked, the more passionate they became, "I heard that there is a farming cao in Feng Shishi's mansion, which is dedicated to the study of farming methods."

"Feng Inspector Feng has been operating in Longyou for more than three years. Do you know how many fertile fields there are?"

Without food, it is impossible to be without food. With the far-sightedness of Feng Shishi and the way of farming, how could he fall into a land without food?

Everyone thought about it, and immediately felt reasonable.

Although Liangzhou is indeed too far away, over the years, the cavalry of the Xinghan Club has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Shu people.

Anyway, talkative!

The cavalry team of the Xinghanhui has transported less things to Longshang these years?

Why do you say that the food cannot be transported? how to prove?

Politicians, just say hello, and it's not me who does it myself anyway.

But seeing the folk think tank looked at the young man with some surprise.

Don't think these words are easy.

In this era of extremely slow information dissemination, without special channels for collecting information.

Anyone who can sort out this information and deduce possible results from it is considered an elite-level talent with a preliminary overall view.

As for whether there is enough food and whether it can be transported in time, who would dare to draw conclusions without knowing how much resources Feng Inspector Feng has in his hands?

After all, Feng Guiwang's reputation is not based on boasting, but on the basis of actual achievements and political achievements.

"This gentleman," the folk think tank cupped his hands, "a certain..."

He was about to get acquainted with this young man, when suddenly there was a shout from outside:

"Here we come! The school test papers are out!"

"Boom!"

The people who originally wanted to listen to the discussion between the two suddenly stood up.

There was the sound of overturning stools and chairs, and everyone rushed to the door.

"Don't panic, don't panic! You're stepping on my shoes!"

"Go behind if you don't panic!"

"There, there, there!"

"Line in line!"

The turbulent crowd squeezed forward, but there were several gentlemen guarding several large baskets, and there were many test papers stacked in the baskets.

"If you don't arrange it, you won't sell it!"

"Outside three feet, don't enter within three feet!"

The crowd, who were flushed and even swearing, and who seemed to be fighting violently, were shocked by these two sentences, and they all obeyed obediently.

"Old rule, ten coins for a piece."

"I want twenty!"

"Up to five." Xiao Langjun stood behind the table and pointed to the baskets lined up in a row. "There are five baskets in total. Take one from each basket. It's useless to take duplicate ones."

"Pay the money first and then get the test papers, prepare copper coins..."

"No change, everyone knows, Xiao Lang, let's start!"

Someone said impatiently.

"Okay, since we all know the rules, let's go."

The first lucky person threw a handful of copper coins into the first empty basket, without even looking at it, and went forward impatiently to pick out the test papers.

These test papers are all printed by the school for the exam this month.

Either it was printed too much for students to use up, or it was printed too often, there was black ink in some places, or the test questions were not printed clearly...

Anyway, for various reasons, it is treated as waste paper in the school. It has no other use except to wipe the buttocks in the latrine, or to use it as a kindling for the coal stove in winter.

Later, as soon as the news of the Liangzhou Governor's Examination and Selection of Talents came out, and after listening to the content of the examination, almost everyone's eyes turned to Nanxiang Academy.

It is impossible to enter the school.

That Feng Dianzi would rather choose the wolf cub of the Hu people to enter than open the back door.

But this is not a big problem.

Because it is not too difficult to learn arithmetic in Nanxiang.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can always buy math books for schools from some places.

Those with better talents, as long as they can calm down and learn from the basics, they can always learn.

But the exam is to do exam papers.

No one has ever experienced the examination method of the examination paper!

There are always smart people in this world.

Can't enter the school, but someone can get out of the school!

Grit your teeth, spend some money, give some benefits to families with children who go to school, and you can always get some test papers.

Then the question came again, not to mention that the test papers are not complete, and they are still changing.

If there is market demand, then there will be market supply.

I don't know when it started. At the back door of the school, there will be people selling some test papers from time to time, saying that the school has too many exam papers for students to use up.

So I took it out and showed it to everyone.

Learning is of course priceless, but in view of everyone's eagerness to learn, we will charge the cost of paper, ten dollars a piece, no deception.

This exam paper is synchronized with the exams in the school, which is the most conscientious!

"The cram school at Qianmen is now open! Hurry up and sign up!"

Several young gentlemen sold out the test papers, and carried heavy baskets into the back door, and someone was shouting loudly.

Then everyone exclaimed, clutching the test papers tightly, and ran in another direction.

"Teaching package meeting! Teaching package meeting, senior teacher of the school, 20 consecutive days of lectures, intensive lectures on the first year of the school's arithmetic, teaching package meeting!"

The folk think tank who was still sitting quietly looked at the young man and asked with a smile:

"Why doesn't Mr. Lang go?"

The young man glanced at the folk think tank and asked:

"Why don't you go, sir?"

After finishing speaking, both of them giggled and said nothing, then touched their bosom subconsciously, both of them had complacent expressions on their faces.

The person who sells his knowledge like this ghost, you say you haven't learned much of Feng Guiwang's skills?

Whoever believes is a fool!

Feeling the unique touch of the books in their arms, the two secretly said in their hearts at the same time: "I have the examination paper collection of Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, do I need to grab those things?"

"May I ask what this gentleman's name is?"

"I'm Li Xiaming, my name is Shushen, I'm the sixth in my family, call me Li Liulang."

"Oh, it turned out to be Li Langjun. A certain surname is Ma and his name is Tian, with a small character. May I ask where Li Langjun came from?"

"Hanjia County."

"Someone is from Yunnan County."
