Chapter 0875 encounter(1/2)

 For others, this blizzard that has not been seen in Liangzhou for decades may make them confused or even at a loss.

But Governor Feng would definitely handle this kind of incident much more calmly than others.

Because Longyou is the preview of Liangzhou.

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

One area is small and the other area is large.

But those are all sudden natural disasters.

Although he was furious and angry, it did not mean that Governor Feng had no good ideas.

The capital that Feng Junhou came up with was Ping Nan Ce, Lian Wu Ce, and the other was the farming method.

The curved shaft plow, the eight-oxen plow, and improved farming techniques are all considered farming methods.

Along the way, whether it was sacrificing flesh and blood to enrich the Han Dynasty, sacrificing wool to enrich the Han Dynasty, or other sugar cane, brown sugar, etc.

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

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

Only with food can you be qualified to think about how to move forward. Without food, whatever you build is just a beach house.

There is food in hand and no panic in mind.

The governor's office has grain in hand, and Liangzhou Haoyou is willing to help. Even the Shu region can also collect a lot of grain.

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

Therefore, whether Governor Feng was irritable or angry, it was not because of lack of food.

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

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

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

For Feng Jishi, who had been deliberately deploying the plan three years ago and wanted to turn it into a mule trustee, this was three years of accumulation and a loss of most of it.

This kind of setback, which required him to turn back, made Feng Jishishi furious, which was a matter of course.

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

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

Food prices finally have a reason to rise!

Over the years, the Nanxiang Exchange and the Reserve Bureau have held several large-scale entertainment events where they went to the Qingchi Lake.

Let us all speculate on grain and taste the iron fist of Han feudalism.

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

The Huang family (Huang Chong) and the Ju family (Jufu) took a good lead, plus the He family and the sixth family of the Li family stabbed in the back.

Therefore, even in the plains of Shu, where the aristocratic families in central Shu are based, there are many families who are inextricably linked to the Xinghan Society.

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

Coupled with the regulatory role of the exchange, if someone wants to make trouble in the food sector, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

However, in recent years, the Han Dynasty has been winning external battles one after another, and its internal development momentum is not weak either.

At least the poor people at the bottom don’t have to starve to death anymore. If they work harder, it’s not impossible for their whole family to have enough to eat for a year.

If you add a little bit of luck, for example, if you move to Nanxiang or Yuexi, there is actually hope of turning around.

As for the upper class, let alone that.

The emerging powerful people not only have the opportunity to accumulate a fortune, but also have the opportunity to overtake others and break the various monopolies of those centuries-old romantic families.

It can be said that the entire Han Dynasty is enjoying the dividends brought by development - except for some conservative families.

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

With the heritage accumulated over hundreds or even hundreds of years, the conservative family still has the opportunity to survive and drink soup occasionally.

For example, from the second half of the year before last 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 Han and Wei, and countless minor confrontations.

The amount of money and food spent is simply huge.

That is to say, now that the big man has the confidence and everyone is united, otherwise it may not be as easy as it is now.

But even so, the Han Dynasty's government stockpile of grain is probably running out.

As soon as the news of Liangzhou's white disaster reached Hanzhong, Nanxiang Exchange finally couldn't hold back the grain supply.

"It's passed! It's already passed two hundred dollars!"

The exchange started to become a little restless.

The so-called soup refers to this time.

The conservative family, which has not benefited from the Han Dynasty dividends in recent years, finally still has a lot of fields in their hands. If there is fields, there will naturally be food.

When food prices go up, it’s time to skip the soup.

In the past few years, the price of food has never exceeded 200 yuan. This time it has exceeded 200 yuan. For them, it is something worth cheering for.

"Things are not that simple. The war two years ago and last year consumed an incredible amount of money and food."

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

Speaking of this, a certain private think tank lowered his voice:

"The most important thing is that Mrs. Mu is not in Nanxiang! Without Mrs. Mu in Nanxiang to take charge of the overall situation, some people just can't sit still!"

Some people disagree with this view:

"I heard that the disciples of Feng Jishi and Mu Niangzi are here now. If a foresighted person like Feng Jishi is not at ease, how can he let these two people take charge of the overall situation in Nanxiang?"

"That's right! I heard that the Young Master of the Wei family was the first disciple of Governor Feng. He was so talented that he taught at Nanxiang Academy on behalf of his master. Even Mr. Xiang once praised him!"

Mr. Xiang, of course, is Xiang Lang who took the initiative to withdraw from the court and concentrate on his studies.

The private think tank sneered:

"With great talent and no experience, can you be able to take charge of the overall situation? Do you remember the days when Ma Su and Ma were young?"

"The Prime Minister has been teaching him the art of war for many years. What happened when he led the army into battle for the first time during the Battle of Longyou?"

I saw this civilian think tank frothing at the mouth and said, "Even the governor Feng saw fighting in front of the battle for the first time since the Southern Expedition."

"He then led the army to quell the rebellion in Yuexun, and then trained troops extensively in Yuexun. He had 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 the situation in Nanxiang at this time?"

As he said this, the civilian think tank shook his head with a worried look:

"If Madam Mu were still in Nanxiang, the price of food would naturally be kept down. But now, I'm afraid it will cost more than two hundred yuan..."

After many people were reminded of this, they suddenly felt that it made sense.

That’s right!

Madam Mu has great prestige in Nanxiang. If she were here, the price of food might not even exceed 200 yuan.

But if she is gone, coupled with the continuous battles with Wei in the past two years, the treasury is empty, and now we encounter the Liangzhou White Disaster, I am afraid that the price of food will not only be as simple as more than 200 yuan.

Some people in the crowd even thought to themselves that this time it might not be as simple as just drinking soup, and maybe even eating some meat.

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

"That's total nonsense!"

Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.

A young man stood up with a red face and glared at the civilian think tank:

"I heard that both Wei Langjun and Lady Ding studied under Feng Jishi since they were young. Wei Langjun has been in charge of the school these years and has never made any mistakes."

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

"If I hadn't won the trust of Governor Feng, how could ordinary people be treated like this? Therefore, what you said must be absurd."

Over the years, Governor Feng went from being a young hero to being the most powerful man in the Han Dynasty, and finally became a famous general in the world.

He is the idol in the hearts of many handsome men.

Nowadays, when I hear someone questioning my idol, I naturally can’t help it.

When the civilian think tank heard these words, he seemed a little embarrassed and immediately sneered:

"To put it bluntly, the Liangzhou white disaster requires real food. If there is food in Hanzhong, then you can see that Dongfeng Express will transport food northward?"

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

"I've counted the past few days. There are many times more brands in this exchange that require payment of food this month than before."

"Guess how many of them are in a hurry to be shipped to Liangzhou?"
