Chapter 370 Wei Guo Wants to Buy Grain

Chapter 370 Wei Guo Wants to Buy Grain

In the study, Zhang Liang sat there unmoved.

Seeing him like that, Ji Ping already knew it well.

"What would Xiangguo want to drink?"

Zhang Liang shook his head.

Ji Ping knew it was boring, so he didn't bother to go around in circles, so he got straight to the point.

"The Prime Minister is also on top of the city today." Ji Ping said directly without thinking too much when he saw this.After a pause, he said again: "The ocean is everywhere, and the people have been severely affected. Xiangguo should know that our food in South Korea has been consumed by the previous war, and now it is not enough for disaster relief."

"So, this is why you spoke to the king?"

"This is just one of them, as for the second!"

A sneer suddenly flashed across Ji Ping's face, and Zhang Liang understood something immediately and stood up slowly.

"I understand. Since this is the case, please tell the king, I, Zhang Liang, will definitely fulfill my mission."

With that said, get ready to leave.

Ji Ping stood up abruptly, looked at Zhang Liang in front of him, and said helplessly, "Xiangguo, don't blame me, everyone is living for nothing, and I don't want to be like this. But the temple in Korea is so small that it really can't accommodate you and me together." , I can only wrong you."

Zhang Liang paused on the spot, sighed softly and left calmly.

Unlike South Korea's disaster, Wei's situation at the moment is much worse.

Rainwater from upstream, because of the staggering amount of flood discharge.And all of them poured into the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and Wei Guo, which was in the middle reaches, suddenly became a vast ocean.

Daliang, the city once destroyed by Wang Ben, has now been attacked by floods again.

It's just that this time it was not a conspiracy, because the terrain was higher, and the flood only submerged around the soles of the feet.

But in the main beam, none of the officials from top to bottom felt lucky because of this.Because of the disaster, official documents from all over the country of Wei entered Daliang like snowflakes.

Almost all the same, asking for food relief.

A flood displaced several people. If you are lucky, you can bring out some food. If you are unlucky, only people can escape.

Not a single grain of rice was brought out.

What is even more frightening is that there is no way to count the deaths and injuries, but there must be many deaths and injuries. There should be relatively few people, but there are countless animal corpses.

That's what's scary.

plague.

Almost within five or six days, God planned a famine, flood, and plague targeting the lower reaches of the Yellow River.Three threats.

Among them, floods and hunger are the second largest.If these two major threats can be eliminated, the plague may be avoided.

But the key is the current drainage system in the Central Plains. It will take time to drain so much accumulated water.

Coupled with the water that is still being drained from the upper reaches.

It will take at least three to five days for the water level to drop naturally.

In terms of food, the entire Central Plains granary has almost bottomed out, with only 30 million shi left.

What is the concept of 30 million stone?

It can feed a hundred thousand troops for seven or eight months.If you save some food, you can survive for a year.

But compared to the millions of people in the Central Plains, with such a large population, the grain of 30 million shi is only enough to dry the teeth.

Born as an uprising, they are very clear that if the people have nothing to eat, they will rise up again the next moment, just like themselves at the beginning.

At that time, with the current situation of Wei State, it will be impossible to control it at all.

Daliang, inside the Wei Palace.

At this moment, Wei Bao and Chen Yu were sitting together.

Wei Bao's face was extremely ugly.Both eyes are blood red.At this moment, he could hardly believe that just seven days ago, he was still happy when it rained.The drought has passed. Although this year is relatively hard, the harvest may be around [-]%.But after all, it can survive.

But the rain became heavier and heavier, until his country of Wei was flooded again.It took just seven days from joy to despair.

Wei Bao almost collapsed in this sudden change.

Chen Yu and Wei Bao almost felt the same way.

Looking at the distraught Wei Bao, Chen Yu raised his fist and said, "Your Majesty, the floods are raging now, and the people have suffered a lot. Food must become scarce. The most urgent task should be to raise food and grass for disaster relief."

"What can you do?" Wei Bao asked impatiently, like a person in the headwinds grabbing a life-saving straw.

"It can be temporarily borrowed from various families and powerful people. It will be returned in the next year." Chen Yu came up with a feasible idea.

The State of Wei is a complicated force, the gentry, the tyrants occupy a lot of resources, and they also value the storage of grain and grass.The selected places are also on relatively high terrain, and there should be a lot of food in storage.

Wei Bao was overjoyed.But soon his heart cooled down again.

Because he knows that this matter is too difficult to implement.

The reason Wei Guo was able to transfer from Zhang Er's hands to his own was because he had won the support of those people.

Now, if I snatch resources from their hands.

These dignitaries of the Wei State who support themselves must be the first to refuse.

"I'm afraid it won't be enough to last until next year's autumn harvest just by relying on powerful grain. What's more, we still have the people of Qin watching over us!" Wei Bao shook his head.

?Does heaven want to destroy me?Wei Bao's eyes were even more desperate.

There are many victims, and this year, almost all of them have been harvested.The rest of the people's homes are washed away by the flood, and the ones soaked in the water will sooner or later become moldy.

But now there are only 10,000+ stone grain left in the Daliang granary.

Official warehouses in various places also suffered a lot of losses due to flooding.In front of him may be 300 million shi grain vacancies.

How could he not despair?

For a moment, Wei Bao's face was full of obstinacy.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Chen Yu beside him and asked: "Back then, Ying Gang kept digging the river in Xingyang, did he know about the flood?"

Chen Yu shook his head. He didn't believe the rumors from the outside world.

If Ying Gang is really the Son of Destiny, there is no chance of them surviving.

But now no matter what, they have to find a suitable way.

"Your Majesty, there is still a way, but I don't know if your Majesty is willing to do it."

Wei Bao was already seriously ill and sought medical treatment. Seeing that Chen Yu had a good solution, he didn't say anything at all. He grabbed him and asked, "Tell me what the solution is."

"Looking to Qin to buy food."

Wei Bao was stunned, and then he looked at Chen Yu in front of him with a look of foolishness.

The fundamental reason for the previous battle in Xingyang was because they plundered the people of Qin.

Now that Chen Yu asked him to go to Qin to buy grain, if Ying Zheng was willing to sell him grain, even Wei Bao himself would not believe it.

"Are you crazy? Don't you know the relationship between us and Qin State? Even if it costs a lot of money, I'm afraid Qin State will never sell it to us!" Wei Bao sighed.

The current situation is that Qin State is sitting on Baoshan.As for the domestic and foreign troubles of the other six countries, they could only watch helplessly.If there is no food, they can only wait to die.

Using force, they are not Qin's opponents.

Just relying on their mouths, Qin Guo will not be afraid of them.

For a moment, Wei Bao felt his head hurt.

"My lord, it's better to try than not to try."

After the discussion, Wei Bao said to Chen Yu, "Xiangguo, you are familiar with Xianyang, so I will trouble you to go there again."

The corner of Chen Yu's mouth twitched when he heard this.
