Chapter 159 Looting
Previously, Li Yuming defended Zhao Xiaochun in front of Shopkeeper Li.
But after her dowry was missing eight taels of silver, Li Yuming became angry and fell in love with Zhao Xiaochun.
"During the Chinese New Year, my little cousin and I went to play in the cellar of my grandma's house. There was half a cellar of grain in it, weighing five to six hundred kilograms. Why have we all run out of food in the past few days? Mom, have you been deceived by grandma?
Bar?"
Zhao Xiaochun was shocked, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? You kid, oh, my money..."
Two days later, the Liu family sent a carriage to bring food and brought Ye Youran a hundred taels of silver notes. This time Ye Youran gave the Liu family three bags of white flour and seven bags of rice, all of which Ye Dashi asked Ye Dashi to collect from the inner courtyard warehouse.
Moved out.
After the Liu family left, Ye Youran closed the restaurant after discussion with Ye Dashi's family of three.
Now, after the New Year, more and more people have no food to eat, and there are many beggars on the streets.
After the restaurant opened in the past two days, business was extremely booming. Many people came to buy steamed buns with money, hundreds of them at a time. Pan steamed dozens of baskets of steamed buns, and they were robbed in the blink of an eye.
There were even a few beggars with red eyes from hunger who came in, grabbed the steamed buns and ran away.
If the official from the Yamen hadn't arrived in time, her steamed buns would have been robbed.
Under this situation, Ye Youran did not dare to open the door of the restaurant again.
Although money is good, life is important.
She was worried that someone was hungry and might break into the house and rob her.
Her family has no ability to protect themselves.
…
Wei Zijin, who got the news immediately, came over with four secret guards.
"I will leave my mercy and ruthlessness to protect you, so don't be afraid."
He held the little girl in his arms and comforted her softly.
"Those are your secret guards. You gave them to me. What about you?"
"There are two more with me. Besides, my martial arts skills are so strong that not just anyone can hurt me."
Ye Youran arranged for Wenqing and Wuqing to live in the west wing. With them in charge of the house, Ye Youran instantly felt at ease.
Later, Wei Zijin took her to the mountains outside the town.
In a hidden valley, there are as many sacks as a mountain, neatly stacked in the center of the valley.
Wei Zijin said, "There are 10,000 bags of the most fertile soil here. It was the work of a hundred of my confidants who dug for two days. Ran Ran, can this soil be exchanged for half a year's rations for 100,000 soldiers?"
"It can be exchanged for 200,000 bags of grain."
The most fertile soil is first-grade soil. One kilogram can be exchanged for thirty points. A bag of soil weighs about two hundred kilograms and can be exchanged for six thousand points.
Six thousand points can be exchanged for two thousand kilograms of coarse grains.
Ten thousand bags of soil can be exchanged for twenty million kilograms of grain.
One hundred thousand soldiers have an average of 200 kilograms of grain per person. If they save a little, one kilogram of grain a day can last for half a year.
"Tonight, I will send this soil to the warehouse. If it cannot fit in one warehouse, I will buy several more warehouses." Wei Zijin said happily.
Ye Youran hesitated.
In fact, there have been too many grain deliveries recently, and no matter how small the noise is, it is still heard by nearby residents.
In the past few days, people in the town have been spreading rumors that there is a ghost in the warehouse. There are always rustlings and movements at night, but it is so dark that no one dares to come out to check in the middle of the night. As time goes by, some people start to say that there is a ghost in the warehouse.
Ye Youran is worried that the secrets in the warehouse will be discovered sooner or later.
And her secret will be suspected sooner or later.
Probably, Wei Zijin had already suspected in his heart that he just loved her, so he pretended not to know and was still covering up for him silently.
Otherwise, if soil can be exchanged for food, why didn't he let a hundred thousand soldiers dig the soil instead of sending a hundred confidants to do this?
