"On behalf of the king." Fan
"Liao Wang Yan."
"The Xie family of Chen County."
"Wang Clan Langya."
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli and others all frowned when they heard this.
There was a sense of despair in his heart.
If there is a big disaster in Yan this time. Fan
Only the Xie family in Chen County took action.
Everyone is 100% sure that there will be no return.
Even if the Xie family of Chenjun and the Wang family of Langya joined forces to attack Yan.
In the eyes of everyone, Yan's vitality was severely damaged at most.
It's not really fatal.
But if you add Dai Wang Qi and Liao Wang Yan.
no doubt. Fan
The land of Yan is in danger.
"Except for Dai and Liao, the Xie family in Chenjun and the Wang family in Langya."
"Everyone from outside the country appears on the two viewing platforms in the north and south today."
"Nine times out of ten, we will take a share of the disaster."
Xu Yi picked up the tea cup calmly, his voice full of indifference.
It seems that what he just mentioned is not an unrivaled behemoth in the eyes of the world.
But like an ant that can be easily crushed to death. Fan
Hear this.
Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli and others instantly looked at Xu Yi with jaws on their lips.
Based on everyone’s understanding of Xu Yizhi.
He is definitely not someone who is arrogant and underestimates his enemies.
But he said these words at this moment.
For a time, Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli and others found it difficult to adapt, and their minds went blank.
"Dare to ask the prince."
"But is there a good way to deal with it?"
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall, Zhu Guangli, who had come back to his senses, took a few deep breaths and then raised his hands to ask.
As soon as this statement came out.
Yang Xian'an, Fan Chongxian and others came to their senses instantly.
He quickly calmed down and waited for Xu Yi's answer.
"It's not a good way to deal with it."
"It's just a tactic where some soldiers come to block it and water comes to cover it with earth." Fan
Xu Yi put down the tea cup in his hand slowly.
Then he looked at Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli, Fan Chongxian and others again.
Everyone looked serious and solemn.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little satisfied in his heart.
The reason why he puts pressure on everyone with words again and again.
The fundamental purpose is to make the seven people in front of them truly understand the real environment that Yan Di is currently in.
This completely aroused everyone's awareness of the crisis. Fan
Then be more attentive to implement the next series of plans.
Notice.
No matter how careful the plan is, if the person executing the plan is not in awe.
The final result is likely to be half the result with half the effort.
Even more so that he loses everything.
"What's the current amount of food stored in the Zhu family?"
Xu Yi turned his head slightly and looked at Zhu Guangli, then changed the subject and asked. Fan
"startled."
Zhu Guangli couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this.
My heart tightened like a conditioned reflex.
"Go back to your lord."
"It has been more than two months since I took over the family."
"Previously, the Zhu family was run by my father and my younger brother."
"I don't know the specific amount of food stored."
"But it depends on my assessment."
"There are at least three hundred thousand."
"If the prince needs it, he can withdraw it at any time."
Zhu Guangli pondered for a few breaths, then slowly answered.
Although there is reluctance in his heart.
However, the Zhu family has long been suffering from both the prosperity and loss of Prince Yan's palace.
This time comes at a time when Prince Yan's palace is in crisis. Fan
It must
However, we need to do our best to tide over the difficulties with them.
"Let's take it as three hundred thousand dan."
"First settle down the ink."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then gave instructions.
In fact, what Zhu Guangli said is not much different from his previous guess.
"yes."
Yang Xian'an agreed upon hearing this, and then silently stood up to pour water and grind the ink. Fan
at the same time.
Both Fan Chongxian and Dong Hongzhang slightly lowered their eyelids.
The eyes under the eyelids are full of "tangled" color.
For a while, there was nothing but the squeaking sound of Yang Xianan studying ink in the study room of Chengyun Hall.
There was no sound from him.
"Sixth Master, the ink is ready."
After a while, the squeaking stopped. Fan
"sit."
Xu Yi said softly and immediately laid the paper on the case.
He picked up his pen and wrote slowly: "The Zhu family has three hundred thousand stones to store food."
When he finished the book and stopped writing, he looked at Fan Chongxian and Dong Hongzhang again.
Both of them looked calm.
Obviously.
Fan Chongxian and Dong Hongzhang have already made the final decision in their hearts. Fan
"Where's the Fan family?"
Seeing this, Xu Yi nodded vaguely and then asked.
"Go back to your lord."
"The Brahma family has a total of 220,000 shi of food in stock."
"If the prince needs it, he can withdraw it at any time."
After hearing this, Fan Chongxian slowly stood up and answered with an extremely serious expression.
"Master Fan, please take a seat."
Xu Yi nodded noncommittally without saying much.
The words are over.
Xu Yi took up his pen and wrote slowly and slowly on the yellowed rice paper: "The Fan family has 220,000 stones to store food."
"Dong family?"
After he stopped writing and finished writing, Xu Yi asked again.
"Go back to your lord."
"The Dong family has a total of 150,000 shi of grain."
"If the prince needs it, he can withdraw it at any time."
Upon hearing this, Dong Hongzhang stood up with a solemn look on his face and promised.
"Master Dong, please take a seat."
Xu Yi nodded slightly noncommittally, and then he wrote on the yellowed rice paper truthfully: "The Dong family has 150,000 shi to store food."
The writing stops and the writing is completed.
Xu Yi paused for a moment, and then wrote again: "The Xun, Zhao, Sun, Niu and other families submitted a grain of 200,000 dan."
"Prince Yan's palace can provide 50,000 shi of grain."
"The Shanggu County government office can provide 100,000 dan of grain."
"The Yuyang County government can provide 60,000 shi of grain."
"The total amount of food obtained is 1.08 million shi."
When the writing stops and the book is finished, the wolf howls and returns to the inkstone.
Wait until the ink is completely dry.
Xu Yi picked up the rice paper slowly.
Then he handed it to Yang Xian'an, who was sitting on the lower left chair. Fan
"Circuit."
Xu Yi opened his mouth and gave instructions.
"yes."
Yang Xian'an stood up and took the rice paper handed by Xu Yi with both hands.
Then he looked down.
Just one glance.
Yang Xian'an's brows, which had been smoothed, couldn't help but frown again. Fan
After counting the interest.
Yang Xian'an passed the rice paper in his hand to Lu Wensu behind him with a solemn face.
One million and eighty thousand stones of grain seems like a lot.
But in fact, this disaster in Yandi is just a drop in the bucket.
A catastrophe in the Yan region has become a certainty at this time.
Affected by natural disasters such as floods and snowstorms.
The summer harvest is almost hopeless. Fan
When the lean months of May finally arrive.
The famine in Yan land will inevitably break out in an all-round way.
By then.
Ruoyan Palace responded appropriately and promptly.
Then the autumn harvest can be guaranteed.
If the Yan Palace does not respond properly.
The autumn harvest will be affected. Fan
By then.
This natural disaster will inevitably last for a year.
If the Yan Palace responds appropriately and promptly.
From May, when there is no harvest, to October, when the autumn harvest occurs.
This period spanned a full five months.
There are seventeen cities in the two counties of Yan, with a total of more than 1.3 million people.
Let’s calculate it based on 1.3 million people. Fan
Ordinary people need at least two kilograms of food a day to survive.
For the time being, the calculation is based on two kilograms per person per day.
One stone of grain weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms, which can feed sixty people for one day.
1.3 million people need to consume at least 21,600 shi of food a day.
If calculated based on 21,600 stones.
Five months' time.
Prince Yan's Mansion needs to prepare at least 3.24 million shi of food. Fan
Calculate carefully.
One million and eighty thousand shi of food is really not much.
Not long after.
The rice paper with the total amount of grain stored in it was passed to Xu Yi's desk again.
Yang Xian'an can figure it out.
Everyone present can figure it out.
For a moment, Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli, Fan Chongxian and others all frowned. Fan
The huge study room in the side hall of Chengyun Hall was once again deeply enveloped by a sense of despair that was so rich that it was almost suffocating.
"What do you think after reading it?"
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then asked.
"not enough."
"Far from enough."
When Zhu Guangli heard this, he stood up and answered with despair.
"According to my opinion."
"Even if everything goes well, we will need three million stones of food."
Yang Xianan sighed deeply, then stood up and answered.
"I second my opinion."
"I second my opinion."
"I second my opinion."
Lu Wensu, Song Yuanfu, Fan Chongxian, Zhu Zongting, Dong Hongzhang and others stood up and agreed.
"That's it." Fan
"Then we will find a way to make up for the remaining two million stones of food."
Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, then chuckled.
"Make up...make up..."
Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli and others were stunned when they heard this.
It's already mid-February.
It’s only more than two months until May is over.
Not to mention two million stones of food in such a short period of time. Fan
Even if there are two million stone grass, there is absolutely no possibility of "making it up".
Even if the Yan Palace, the Zhu family, the Fan family, the Dong family, and the two county offices of Shanggu and Yuyang all dispersed their wealth.
How many kilograms of grain can be purchased with the price of grain doubling day by day?
"Dong dong."
Just when everyone was stunned and filled with despair.
Xu Yi lightly knocked on the desk in front of him.
"We have no way of making up for it."
"Dandai and Liao, the Xie family in Chen County and the Wang family in Langya, as well as the merchants from aristocratic families who want a piece of the pie."
"They have the ability to make up for the two million stones of food that Yan has left vacant."
Xu Yi smiled noncommittally, and then his expression turned serious.
"Dai and Liao?"
"Xie family of Chenjun?"
"Wang Clan Langya?"
"A group of businessmen from aristocratic families who want a piece of the pie?"
Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli and others looked at Xu Yi dumbfounded.
After many events, at this time, everyone's minds were still blank except for a blank.
"Exactly."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and said with an extremely serious expression.
Yang
Xian'an, Zhu Guangli and others were all shocked when they saw this.
Then he quickly calmed down and waited for Xu Yi to clarify his doubts.
"Today is the occasion of a great competition between the entire army."
"On the two viewing platforms in the north and south, there are nearly three dozen noble families and powerful squires from the Yan land."
"More than 70% of the rest come from the Yudai and Liao Dynasties, as well as from aristocratic families in Zhuojun, Guangyang, Youbeiping, Zhongshan, Hejian and other places."
"The purpose of his coming is nothing more than to take the opportunity to find out what is true in Yan Land."
"So that we can prepare accordingly for the next major disaster."
"Three days later."
"The Guhui invites Commander Sun and Commander Pang to organize cultural gatherings in Juyang City and Yuyang City respectively."
"This article is intended to collect food and prepare for a rainy day." Fan
"At that time, I will go to the meeting on my behalf first."
"Donated 20,000 kilograms of food at the cultural gathering."
Xu Yi paused for a moment, then looked at Zhu Guangli, Fan Chongxian and Dong Hongzhang.
"This article is in progress."
"The Zhu family needs to donate fifteen thousand dan of food."
"The Fan family needs to donate 10,000 dan of food."
"The Dong family needs to donate eight thousand dan of food." Fan
Xu Yi ordered with an extremely serious look.
"Your Majesty, do you want to offer some advice?"
"If so."
"Is fifteen thousand stone too little?"
Zhu Guangli pondered for a few breaths and asked in a low voice.
"No."
"I want to throw bait to attract fish." Fan
Xu Yi shook his head slightly and then answered.
"Throwing bait to attract fish?"
"I understand."
"At that time, the ministers will donate 15,000 dan of old grain in public at the cultural meeting."
Zhu Guangli pondered for a few breaths, a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face.
Hear this.
Fan Chongxian and Dong Hongzhang instantly looked surprised. Fan
"At that time."
"I will also donate old grain in public at cultural gatherings."
Fan Chongxian and Dong Hongzhang stood up and said in unison, cupping their hands.
Seeing that the three of them understood each other, Xu Yi couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"After the literary meeting."
"Each of the three families of you will come up with 10,000 shi of food."
"Secretly selling it to the Jiaohao family at a price 20% higher than the current market price." Fan
"Five more days."
"Chief Sun and Magistrate Pang will organize the second cultural gathering."
"In this cultural conference, Prince Yan's Mansion will once again donate 10,000 shi of food."
"For this cultural gathering, the Zhu family needs to spend 7,000 dan to prepare food."
"The Fan family and the Dong family respectively gave five thousand shi of old grain and three thousand shi of old grain."
"After this article."
"All three of you need to pay a price that is 20% higher than the current market price." Fan
"Sold food secretly several times within half a month."
"The Zhu family needs to sell 50,000 stones."
"The Fan family needs to sell thirty thousand stones."
"The Dong family needs to sell twenty thousand stones."
"After this incident, the fish must have been hooked."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then gave instructions in a deep voice.
In the homes of Zhu, Fan and Dong. Fan
The Zhu family is the first aristocratic family in Shanggu County.
The Fan family is the second aristocratic family in Shanggu County.
The Dong family was originally the third aristocratic family in Yuyang County.
Along with Yuyang Xie's family broke off an arm.
The Dong family is now in the hearts of the people of Yuyang County.
It has become the second largest family after the Yuyang Qu family.
Therefore. Fan
When Zhu, Fan, and Dong took the lead in expressing their stance at the cultural meeting.
The rest of the aristocratic families and powerful country squires will follow suit one after another.
Although Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze were able to raise a considerable amount of food this time.
But it also completely exposed the reality of Yan Di
.
At that time, no matter it is Dai or Liao, the Xie family of Chen County, the Wang family of Langya, or all the aristocratic families from other counties who heard the news and wanted a piece of the pie.
Will definitely be moved by the wind.
And after the two literary meetings. Fan
Three families secretly sold grain.
It is undoubtedly equivalent to adding fuel to the fire of the whole incident again.
What's more, the most violent fire oil in the world was poured on it.
Notice.
There are only two counties and seventeen cities in the Yan region.
The plate is only so big.
Zhu, Fan, and Dong all took one more bite. Fan
Others will definitely take one less bite.
At that time, whether it is Dai Wang Qi who wants to kill Xu Yi, or Liao Wang Yan.
Or the Lord of the East Palace standing behind the Xie family of Chen County and the Wang family of Langya.
Xu Yi didn't believe that they could restrain their inner desires and sit back and watch a large amount of money being pocketed by others.
After a large amount of food completely poured into Yandi.
That's when Xu Yi really closed the net.
Although millions of stones of grain cannot completely resolve the danger of Yan land. Fan
But it can be the final word at the last moment of the entire plan.
As the saying goes: "Food is the most important thing for people, and scarcity is the most precious thing."
Just imagine when millions of stones of grain hit the market in an instant.
How will food prices change?
The transportation of grain and grass has been a matter of great consumption of manpower, material and financial resources since ancient times.
Fifty thousand stones of grain and grass were transported from Chang'an, the capital, to Juyang, Yan.
Half of the food was consumed during the journey. Fan
At that time, the situation faced by a group of aristocratic families who came from afar.
It is conceivable.
