While he had a headache, he also began to accept the arguments put forward by the professor.
As said in Western history, ancient Greece thousands of years ago could not grow large-scale agricultural crops due to geographical environment. Therefore, if the capital of ancient Greece really had 1 million people at that time according to Western history, then Where should I go to buy food?
Thousands of years ago, the capital of ancient Rome really had 7 million people as recorded in history books. Where did they go to buy food?
However, Chen Yun is now located in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains. Hundreds of thousands of people there will not be able to find a place to get food due to the general environment.
He did not believe that the so-called ancient Greece and Rome could maintain their capital cities with such a large population by buying food.
But now is not the time to think wildly, but to actually think about the source of food.
But soon, I heard the news that Zuo Qianhu, Fu Tianchou and Zhang Beihai had arrived.
"Please!"
Zuo Qianhu, Fu Tianqiu and Zhang Beihai walked in and saw a room full of people greeting them with smiles on their faces.
"Meet the Human King!"
After another greeting and sitting down, Zhang Beihai was filled with emotion.
To be honest, he had thought that one day he would be able to discuss matters in front of the Human King. He had thought about it.
I just can’t imagine it being that fast!
He knew that the reason why he had a place here was because of what he said.
The Human King also said openly and honestly that he was right, there was a shortage of food here!
So, calling them here and asking them to take a seat this time is probably the problem that will be solved.
However, given his embarrassing status and the fact that Fu Tianchou was a minister of Emperor Liang, was this human king so eclectic in his employment?
"Fu Shangshu, General Zhang, I think you all know that Jinhua Mansion is short of food now!
Hundreds of thousands of people consume the food that will be available during the harvest period for the next season.
Talk about it! "
Chen Yun was honest and polite and pointed out the problem directly.
This attitude directly shocked Fu Tianchou. He thought that the young King of People needed some foreshadowing, but he didn't expect that he didn't even bother to do so and just asked directly.
Is there any mistake?
I am a minister of Emperor Liang!
I am not a subject of your human king.
But since he was asked, he had to express his position: "Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Fu has just arrived. I don't know the situation in Jinhua Mansion, so I'm afraid he won't have any good suggestions!"
Chen Yun waved his hand: "Okay!
I'm not talking about lies here, it's just a lack of food, and you are the one asking for money in the Daliang court.
What I like is that you are the one asking for money, so you should know how to solve this problem.
Talk about it!
Having said that, when it’s time to look at your daughter, look at your daughter, and when you should look at the little prince, look at the little prince, no one will stop you!
You can take it back to the north! "
When it came to this point, Zhang Beihai had no choice but to help: "Fu Shangshu, if you have any ideas, just say so!
I can see the problem, but I can't find a solution!
You scholars are good at this! "
Even Zhang Beihai was helping, and Fu Tianqiu had no choice but to speak in the confusion: "In the past few years, it seems that the world has experienced a severe cold weather that only happens once in hundreds of years.
Once this kind of weather occurs, it will last for decades or even hundreds of years.
This kind of weather will cause the nomads from the north to move south, and the land in the northern part of the Central Plains will suffer from drought, locust plagues, or floods, making it impossible to grow food.
There is even a possibility of harvest failure due to the inability to grow food due to cold weather.
This is also the reason why the Central Plains dynasty reincarnated for hundreds of years. It is said that the problem of food is the reason for breaking the sky.
In the past 10 years or so, cold waves and drought weather have become more and more severe, so grain from Jiangnan and other places has been shipped to the north, and it has been shipped for more than 10 years.
This also resulted in places such as Jiangnan, which are grain-producing areas, not having much surplus grain.
Therefore, once a military disaster, that is, a war, occurs, it will be easy to squeeze out the remaining food in people's homes.
Just like the current Jinhua Prefecture and surrounding provincial capitals.
but……"
Everyone here knows what he is going to say, but after all, it is a common problem of almost all literati to lay the groundwork for so long and then make a twist.
If there wasn’t a twist, this wouldn’t be such a long story!
So everyone present was waiting for his words, but!
"However, although ordinary people and the government have no food surplus, there is definitely food left in the homes of the landlords and gentry and in the temples!
Every time there is a calamity, people hoard and exchange a little food for more land and slave hands. This is a way for the wealthy landlords and gentry of aristocratic families and temples that have stood in the world for thousands of years to expand their own industries.
Therefore, it is not difficult to find food. Even if it is enough food to feed hundreds of thousands of people for a year, it is not difficult to buy it.
As long as you have money! "
It's indeed a good idea, but here's the thing, as long as you have the money, it's a good idea.
But Chen Yun's opening of his mouth made Fu Tianchou off guard: "Fu Shangshu, what if I have no money?"
This sentence directly choked what Fu Tianchou was going to say next.
He also wanted to tell this human king to buy food as early as possible, because once the news of food shortage spreads, the price of food will become more and more expensive in the future.
Even if you have money by then, you may not be able to afford much.
But I didn’t expect that these words hadn’t been spoken yet! He choked back.
So what can you say if you don’t have money?
"Then if you don't have money... If you don't have money, you can only grab food. You can't watch hundreds of thousands of people in Jinhua Mansion starve to death!"
Wang Shouren shook his head: "You can't rob it. How can a human king rob people's food? Even if he is a wealthy landowner from a wealthy family, he is still a human being."
You cannot do such a thing before the other party has a way to die.
The King of Humans is the co-owner of the human race, how can he oppress some of the human race because of another part of the human race! "
Everyone present was in distress, but only one person was confident.
Chen Yun naturally saw this in his eyes: "Looking at Fu Shangshu's expression, there should be a solution.
Since there is, then don’t be too pretentious. If you have a solution, please tell me! "
Fu Tianchou stood up with a smile: "Of course there is a way, and it will not harm the people, let alone let the king rob the people's wealth.
But I am just afraid that even if I say it, I will not dare to do it. "
This is a bit presumptuous!
Not to mention that everyone present looked a bit unhappy, even Zhang Beihai felt that his former boss did not respect the King of Human Beings very much!
“If you have a good idea, just say it. If you dare to say it, everyone will think about it and then they will come to a conclusion.
You are so mysterious, people who don’t know think you can’t figure it out! "
Zhang Beihai had no choice but to come out to rescue his old boss.
Now that the atmosphere was up, Fu Tianchou didn't hesitate and dropped a big thunder when he opened his mouth.
"Ordinary people account for 10% of the world's wealth, aristocratic families and landlords account for 40%, Buddhists account for 30%, Taoism accounts for 10%, and the royal family accounts for 10%.
If aristocratic families, landlords and wealthy families cannot move, what about Buddhism and Taoism?
You know, there are many temples in Jinhua Mansion, and I remember there is also a Buddha statue made of pure copper!
Do people who are Buddhists still consider themselves human beings? "
I recommend a friend's book, History, which is very well written. Now I am going to read Chong Sanjiang. You can help me read it.
Of course, if you can see it, go see it. If you don’t want to, don’t force it.
