Vol 2 Chapter 1817: Rong Li Postscript 5

Quail, millet, rice, and wheat are all food.
Since the development of Qingyun State, oysters, millet and rice have been planted almost everywhere.
Hey, it is scorpion, yellow rice, and the output is average.
Millet is millet and produces less.
Only rice, that is, rice, rice, the output is extremely high!
In the five years of Zhengqing, with the help of Liu Wei, the agricultural output of Qingyun State has once again been significantly improved. This improvement is mainly to improve the interaction of hybrid rice.
Rice was originally a crop with a very high yield. After the transformation of the formula, the harvest could grow by 30% to 50%. Therefore, in the last ten years, Qingyunguo has almost fallen into the trap of rice.
Even in the north, which is not suitable for rice reproduction, because of the birth of hybrid rice and the admiration of scientific farming, the north has also fallen into a rice frenzy. It is not an exaggeration to say that the staple food of the Qingyun people is basically that rice has not ran.
And because rice occupies 90% of the field, the cultivation of alfalfa and millet is becoming scarcer. Of course, this is not a problem. It is all food, eating rice and eating yellow rice and millet. There is no difference.
But now, Qingyun is short of food.
When he was unable to ask for it, he had to look outside, and he looked at the two small countries outside the Qingyun West.
Qingyun is a rice addiction, but there are no new rice formulas in the surrounding small countries. Therefore, they are still planted with the original sorghum, millet, and rice, while the Westland has not experienced drought.
At the beginning, Rong Rong wanted to use the name of the imperial court to borrow food from Ningguo and Pingguo in the west. However, if the script was not issued, it was opposed by the Central and Chinese circles.
In this opposition, even the five kings Rong Fei were involved in it. In the ruling and the opposition, only the seven princes were able to trace back and hold a neutral attitude. However, the neutrality of the seven princes and the opposition were almost indistinguishable.
This situation made Rong Rong very surprised, but the reasons given by the courtiers were equally justified.
Qingyun’s great country, but it’s not enough to feed a certain state in the district, even to succumb to the nobles and to seek food from the country. This is something that has never happened since ancient times. If the court is really squinting with the country’s food, then the future Can the Qingyun big country maintain its style? Qingyun, is this a sneer to be a country?
The courtiers never allowed such a thing to happen, and even Rong Fei, who had always been particularly supportive of Rong Rong, refused to give in this time.
The opposition from the ruling and the opposition made Rong Rong have to stop thinking about borrowing food, because he would not stop, and the imperial history would be hung in his Shangqing Hall.
However, the courtiers also gave corresponding solutions. Outside the West Sea, there are still businessmen, and the merchants travel around the country, and there are many grain roads in their hands.
Because of the esteemed by the Central Plains, there are not many fans in the Central Plains, but the wheat and the Fans have a lot of hands. Some small foreign countries have specialized in growing wheat.
Wheat noodles are also full of food. If you can buy wheat noodles from the hands of Fans, Dingzhou is difficult to save.
Fan Fan knew that the court was short of food. After the households contacted them, they directly opened the lion and opened a price ten times higher than the market price.
Ming knows that it is a loss, but to save the people like a fire, the purchase still has to buy.
At the beginning, the courtiers were still not convinced, and decided to give the colores a look.
However, people are not Qingyun people, Qingyun countries allow the business to buy and sell customs, is based on the trade win-win position, if they rashly suppress the business, it will only make Qingyun first lose faith in people, will also be criticized by the country.
The courtiers who felt that "face is bigger than the sky" had no choice but to persuade the emperor. Just like this, we are not without money. It is not that several princes have sponsored donations of large sums of money, or they can afford it.
After Rong Rong came back, he shut himself down in the Shangqing Hall for five hours. After he came out, he ordered the five kings to fly and personally buy food.
The matter was originally settled, but at the same time, Rong Hao ordered Jing Zhaoyin to re-enter Zhong Ziyu in the death row and put it into the forbidden palace.
Rong Rong only asked Zhong Ziyu a question: "Would you be easy to handle?"
After receiving a positive reply, Rong Rong did not rush to use Zhong Ziyu, but arranged him first.
After all, Zhong Ziyu is a recidivist. Not to be the point of the nine deaths, Rong Rong does not want to use prisoners to do things.
The beginning of Dingzhou's drought was in the last year. After the year and a year ago, the drought was very dangerous. At the beginning of this year, the court set aside the disaster relief funds to buy rice in Jiangnan. In March, Jiangnan had no rice, and they bought food with Fan. Nowadays, Dingzhou is hungry everywhere, every household is dead every day.
The reason is because they initially thought that the drought in Dingzhou could be alleviated in April and May this year, but in fact, the drought continued this year and there was no relief at all.
Dingzhou has no grain for one year, and it still needs the court to continue to help.
At the same time, the same business that found this situation suddenly raised that the price of wheat should rise five times again.
In fact, there are not many wheat noodles given by Fans. Perhaps they have also searched all the foods that Zhouyu can buy, including Pingguo and Ningguo, but these can’t solve the drought crisis in Dingzhou, even if they spend five more. The price, the food bought, is only enough for the victims to eat a baby's fist-sized rough head every day.
The only place where there is grain now is the neighboring country.
But the courtiers
Too serious, you must buy food in the name of the court, and the censor will be hoisted.
Unbearable, Rong Rong decided to play first. He did not intend to do the purchase of food as a court thing. He arranged his own people and contacted the country.
At the same time, he also enabled Zhong Ziyu, just because he was not trusting enough, he only let Zhong Ziyu help the producer's leather mask and use it for the cronies.
But the country is not stupid. Now who doesn't know that Qingyun is short of food, Fans are willing to buy food at a high price, and then sell it to Qingyun to make a difference. You look like people in our country, but one accent, one Look at the dress, you know that Qingyun country spies, come to me to buy food, I can make you buy cheaper?
Therefore, the country began to hang up and sell, the Fan merchants bought them a stone grain, and they had to spend ten or two silver. You are so fine, and you are embarrassed. You have to buy thirty-two dollars. If you have money, you can buy it.
In fact, if you use the authority of the host country and force the country to borrow grain to buy food, then the cost price, as long as one stone or two is not enough, but now, it is more than 30 times expensive.
After that, no help, Rong Rong transferred Zhong Ziyu to Pingguo.
Zhong Ziyu is very upbeat, relying on the fascinating skill of the gods, the tongue can be lotus, and the face is exquisite. Now he has been deceived to the senior officials of the Pingguo and Ning kings. People are willing to supply food to them for a long time at the price of 31 to 2 stone.
This is much cheaper than before, and it is a normal price.
Now that Zhong Ziyu has returned to Qingyunguo with the envoy, it is possible to pass the drought on the ups and downs in Kyoto, and let the national envoys suddenly realize that they are fooled. Do you want to buy them a big brother, not a Qingyun grain merchant, not relying on natural disasters? Borrowing the victims to make money, but the people in the Qingyun court?
Now, Zhong Ziyu has been suspected by the envoys. Therefore, Rong Rong decided to take the bottom of the salary and set a plan to consolidate the trust of the envoy to Zhong Ziyu and complete the grain transaction as soon as possible. However, this strategy may have life-threatening problems. Therefore, Rong Rong invited Rong Li helped, in fact, if Liu Wei was in Beijing, Rong Rong would look for his master. Wu Wangshu disapproved of purchasing food with the state. Sanwang Shu should be the same as Qi Wang, and he would hold neutral opinions, but Master is a temper. Will definitely understand his decision!
Unfortunately, Master is not in Beijing. Rong Rong has no choice but to seek help from Xiao Li who is returning to Beijing.
Xiaoli is willing to help. This is actually within the expectation of Rong Rong. Because Xiao Li’s temperament thoughts have won the Master’s true biography, but if he wants to implement the foolproof implementation, Xiaoli proposes to see Zhong Ziyu’s side, but at this time, let Zhong Ziyu rush. Leaving the line of sight of the envoy, it is very likely that a difficult two-month plan will be a failure.
Rong Rong is very difficult.
