Chapter 254 Going to Xuzhou to Buy Grain

"Of course I know that food is needed. As long as they survive this year, most of the problems will be solved with the development of new fields next year!" Of course Li Ming has considered this issue.

It's just that when he came last year, it was already past the autumn harvest season, and the granary was still empty at that time.Kuaiji County is actually not an important grain-producing area, and Danyang County and Wu County are often needed to feed back.

Now that it is only less than March, and the spring plowing has not officially started, can it be expected that it will have food to settle down the people? !

"In the short term, you can collect wild vegetables and fruits, expand your hunting range, and catch fish for a while. The second batch of dividends from the patent medicine workshop will be distributed soon. At that time, the lord can try to contact Gu's to buy a batch of food to relieve these people. Disaster victims!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said.

"Okay, I'll go and ask!" Li Ming thought for a while, then turned around and found Gu Yan. After all, it was Shi, the county chief. As long as it wasn't Xiu Mu, he could basically find Gu Yan in the yamen.

"Buying grain? This is not a problem. Looking at the relationship between the Li family and the Gu family, I can even cut the price by [-]% and sell it." Gu Yan smiled when he heard the words, as if he had expected it.This is not surprising, so many refugees must need a lot of food, and the entire Yangzhou, the main food trade, is actually in the hands of the Gu family.

There are also some grain merchants here and there, but if Mrs. Gu speaks out, they will not dare to ship.

"We are so familiar, don't use Chen Liang to fool me!" Li Ming said cautiously.

"If you want something that is used to feed livestock, it's not a problem to reduce the price by [-]%..." Gu Yan replied, the implication was obvious, that is 'Of course I won't cheat you'!As for the final result, these words are of course too much to count!

"When will the goods be delivered? I plan to use all the dividends this time to buy food!" Li Ming said.

"For a customer as big as the prefect, our Gu family will of course do our best to ship. But adults should also know that Wujun and Kuaiji are not the main production areas. In addition to the war in the Central Plains, Jiujiang and Lujiang counties also have a lot of food. Insufficient. So if you want to get food, I'm afraid you have to get it from Yuzhang!" Gu Yan said slowly.

"When will I need to come?" Li Ming nodded, he probably knew the situation of Jiujiang and Lujiang.

"It won't be too soon. Let's not talk about sending people to Nanchang to mobilize the goods. It will take three or four days. Just say that Nanchang will mobilize the goods. It will take half a month. Then transport them back... don't think about it The thieves along the way, it will take more than a month to transport from Danyang County to Kuaiji County! Conservative estimates, it will take about two months!" Gu Yan simply calculated the time and put the fastest situation Reported out.

"Can't we take the road from Yuhan to Damo?" Li Ming was a little anxious, the day lily had been cold for two months.

"It's just a mountain road, which has to go through a lot of mountains and forests. The road in that place is very difficult to walk. It takes at least half a month to walk for more than 600 miles. The key is that we will pass by places where Wuyi barbarians haunt, more than 20 Wuyi barbarians are wandering in that area, do you know what this means? If you are lucky, you have to keep [-]% of the goods, and if you are not lucky, all the goods will be snatched away!" Gu Yan shook his head, compared to the road in front of Wuyi Mountain. It is better to go directly to the inherent trade route.

"What's the situation in Wuyi Man?" Li Ming heard about this situation for the first time.

"Wuyi barbarians are mainly descendants of the Peng family. It is said that the ancestors are Peng ancestors. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, they have multiplied and thrived in the Wuyi Mountains, and have accepted many newcomers. The population has gradually expanded to more than [-]. Because of this!" Gu Yan replied.

Everyone knows that it is not difficult to go west to Yuzhang County from Damo, the key is the problem of Wuyi barbarians.From the founding of the Han Dynasty to the present, between Damo County and Linru County of Yuzhang County, there was not even a county seat in such a large area for more than four hundred years.

"Wuyi Man is really so difficult to deal with?" Li Ming couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

"The Wuyi barbarians themselves are not difficult to deal with. A group of barbarians who wear leather armor or even have no leather armor can be killed directly. The difficulty is that as soon as they see that something is wrong, they immediately flee into the mountains and forests without a guide. There is no way for the army to pursue it. Moreover, the terrain between the mountains is complicated, and if one is not careful, he will get lost.

There are even rumors that there are big monsters appearing in Wuyi Mountain, and there are at least three big monsters. It is hard to say how the Wuyi people obtained the right of residence in Wuyi Mountain, but they can still live, which proves that they know how to get along with big monsters. " Gu Yan replied.

It's not surprising that there are big monsters coming and going.What's the point of building a county seat, but it ends up being destroyed by monsters twice in three days?As time goes by, I'm afraid there won't be that fool who wants to settle there, that's going to die!

Li Ming couldn't deal with the monsters he encountered before, but if he directly encountered a monster-level existence, wouldn't that be looking for abuse?Coupled with the lack of food in the granary, it has become very unrealistic to conquer the Wuyi barbarians.Perhaps the problem can be solved through contact, but there is no time to waste now.

"Oh, it's only two months, I can't wait!" Li Ming couldn't help but sighed.

"Actually, why do you have to buy food from Gu's?" Gu Yan smiled, "It's a pity to lose such a business, but if you really want to buy food, there is a good place to go!"

"Where?" Li Ming was shocked and looked at Gu Yan eagerly.

"Xuzhou! There was a bumper harvest last year. The two major grain merchants, Mi and Lu, were not in a hurry to sell. They hoarded a small amount of grain and sold it to raise the price. I don't know the exact number, but what is certain is that if you can Convince them to release food, and the food for hundreds of thousands of people can be bought directly!" Gu Yan pointed to the north and said.

The key is that starting from Shanyin, it is not far from Wujun County to Xiapi Country or Guangling County. If you go there quickly, you can arrive in less than five days. In addition to the time for purchasing food and transportation, it can be done within a month. It is much faster to transport the grain back than to allocate grain in Yuzhang County.

Grain is the business that has the most buyers this year. After all, I am too familiar with Li Ming, so it is inevitable that I can't take advantage of it.It would be great if it could draw Li Ming's attention to Wuyiman. If that passage could be opened up, it would really be much more convenient for caravans to transport goods in the future.It has to be said that Gu Yan is really smart.

"Okay, then I'll go to Xuzhou today!" Li Ming slammed his palm and made a decision immediately.

"Your Excellency, you want to go to Xuzhou in person?" Gu Yan was a little overwhelmed at the moment, wouldn't it be better to send someone in charge there?

"With you in Kuaiji County, why should I worry about it? You also said that they don't plan to open a warehouse. If I don't go to plead in person, how can I show my sincerity? If I'm not sincere enough, how can the other party agree to open a warehouse to release grain?!" Li Ming said solemnly.

What you said makes sense, but I'm actually speechless. Gu Yan probably feels this way in his heart at the moment.

After bidding farewell to Gu Yan, he hurried back to the inner office, saw Dianjie, and Li Ming immediately gave an order: "Dianjie, take three hundred personal guards and follow me to Xuzhou!"

Not to mention Dianjie, Xi Zhicai, Wang Yu and the others were also stunned. They agreed to go to Gu Yan, but why did they go to Xuzhou again? !

　Yesterday, I went to work with the leader. On the way, he advised me not to give up, so I was a little hesitant.Let's take a look at it for a while, thank you for your support!
　　Of course, I still look forward to collecting and subscribing!
