Xiaofulang's farming space

"Qingming, I have something to discuss with you"

"Tell me" Xia Qingming put down the ledger in his hand

"Now is the time to harvest grain, I want to go to Qingzhou to harvest grain"

"Everyone knows that there has been a severe drought in the past two years, and it will probably be a severe drought next year. Even if you go to Qingzhou, it may not be much cheaper."

"I know that the drought area is getting wider and wider. By next year, there will be more than ten prefectures and counties. It may be that the whole Jinchao will be drought. At that time, even if you have money, you will not be able to buy it. So no matter how high or low, we should save more. Points, one is for use in the store, and the other is that there is a place in my space that is not full, and no one can take it away, so it can be used in case of emergency.”

"Okay, ask Brother Song to go with us, and let Brother Xingchen find a way first. After buying food, let Brother Song deliver it to Zhangzhou, and the rest will be received in your space, and we will leave some Transported to Jinzhou, your space must be covered on the bright side, otherwise when the time comes to the end of the day, you will suddenly take out food, and it will definitely arouse suspicion."

"I see"

"We have to discuss this matter with the Jade King and Lord Tao. In drought years, if we buy a large amount of grain, we will definitely be targeted by the court, especially the household department. They will think that we want to accumulate grain and sell it at a high price."

Xia Qingming waited for a long time and Luo Xiaohan didn't say anything about the child, so he had no choice but to ask, "What about Xiao Leer?"

Luo Xiaohan was taken aback, "I forgot that we have a child"

Xia Qingming "..."

"Let Miao Zege and Lin Jing take care of it for a few days." Luo Xiaohan thought about it for a while and felt a little worried, "Why don't I go with Brother Song and you stay at home, or you go with Brother Song, and I'll find a chance when the food arrives in Jinzhou into space"

"We must not do this in Jinzhou." There are many people in the imperial capital, and I don't know how many eyes are staring at them. He must not let Luo Xiaohan take this risk. "Will the child get sick?"

"Every time I feed him, I will add space stream water to ensure his health"

"Then the two of us should go. Write a letter to Brother Xingchen first, and try to go and come back quickly, so that Xiaoxue can stay here. She has a secret guard sent to her by the Jade King. If someone really messes around while we are not around, they can help her." I am busy, I will let Li Xuan continue training those children, and take turns keeping vigil at night."

"You still think thoughtfully, just do it like this"

Xia Xingchen wrote back within a few days, and they were really in a hurry. Last time Xia Xingchen said that the man he knew was a local landlord. He had a lot of land and tenants, and he planted a lot of rice and corn. That person can help.

"It's like someone was giving you a pillow while you were sleeping. Qingzhou has always been a major grain-producing county. Although there is not much rain this year, there have been a few light rains in Qingzhou. If the person Brother Xingchen knows is a big family, we can't afford to eat just his family." Upon receiving this news, Luo Xiaohan was so happy that he wanted to fly

After the Jade King knew about this, he secretly asked them to pull the strings. He also secretly stored a large amount of grain for the court. In addition to the grain tax collected from various places, they had to hide another batch of grain in secret for emergency needs.

After arranging everything in Jinzhou, the three of them set off for Qingzhou. The two horses galloped away from the city. Song Hanfeng rode a strong yellow pussy horse with good pace. In three days, they arrived Qingzhou ground.

Xia Xingchen had been waiting for them a long time ago, and took them home directly to arrange for them to rest. The house price in Qingzhou is much lower than that in Jinzhou. Xia Xingchen's yard is not small, and the decoration is exquisite. I don't know how much that man helped.

"What about the kids"

"They go to the academy and don't come back at night"

"Is there any conflict with you?" Luo Xiaohan frowned and Xia Xingchen shook his head with a smile, "It's because they want to practice themselves outside."

"Sensible." Xia Qingming nodded.

"Yeah, they are very sensible." Xia Xingchen also smiled consolingly, and then turned to the main business, "You guys rest for a while, and we will go to see him in the evening. I have already talked about your affairs with him. He The grain harvested this year will be sold to us first, and the price is also negotiable.”

"It's really great, thanks to brother Xingchen, thank you so much" Luo Xiaohan said happily

"If it weren't for you, how could I have a good life today. He also knows your kindness to me, so you can rest assured that both the quality of the food and the price guarantee will satisfy you. I will cook in the kitchen and clean the room for you Okay, let's go and rest for a while." Before they could say anything, Xia Xingchen arranged for them with a smile and went to the kitchen to cook.

A few people had lunch, Xia Xingchen took them for a stroll in Qingzhou, and took them to see the shops in Qingzhou, because Xia Xingchen settled in Qingzhou, so he managed the shops in several places near Qingzhou, Luo Xiaohan The idea is also that when the time comes, the land of Jinchao will be divided, and each person will manage several adjacent land boundaries. The children Song Hanfeng is teaching now will be divided when the time comes.

When the appointed time came, Xia Xingchen took them to meet that person

"His name is Chu Yi, and the locals call him Chu Da. He has [-] acres of paddy fields and [-] acres of dry land. He is not a major grain producer in Qingzhou, but he has other livelihoods," Xia Xingchen introduced.

"That's a very powerful person," Song Hanfeng said.

"I don't really understand, I just know that I can easily do business here thanks to his help"

Several people were talking, and they walked to the door of the private room of the restaurant. The door opened, and they saw a person sitting inside. The man was in his thirties and forties, he was black and strong, with a beard, and looked It was a bit vicious, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that this person was just bluffing.

"These are the benefactors of Xingchen. Please sit down. I told you when I would invite you to come and thank you in person. Today I finally found the opportunity."

During the time when the few people were chatting, Yi Zhuozi had all the food served, and he could tell by looking at the dishes that he put his heart into it.

"I just found out that Xiaohan gave birth to a baby. I was in a hurry, and I didn't prepare a good gift. Please don't be disgusted with this. It is a gift from me and Xingchen to the child." Chu Yi took out a small sandalwood box from his arms, Luo Xiaohan Received it and opened it, inside is a long life lock made of gold, on the front is a pattern of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness, on the back is the four characters of peace and happiness, and there are a few small golden bells, which look very delicate

"Yeah, it's so pretty." Luo Xiaohan knew that Chu Yi's temperament likes to make people happy, so he smiled and thanked him without refusing to accept it. Chu Yi was really happy when he saw it, and persuaded Xia Qingming and Song Hanfeng to have a drink start talking about business

The price Chu Yi gave was indeed much lower than the current market price, Luo Xiaohan glanced at Xia Qingming and shook his head.

Xia Qingming said, "Brother Chu, it's not that we don't want to take advantage of this, but you can see the trend of the past two years. The weather next year is not fixed, and the imperial court will not be able to distribute any relief food. The price of food next year will only be high or not." Low, even to the point where it’s hard to find, I can’t let you suffer, the price of food will go according to the current outside price.”

Chu Yi originally offered Xia Xingchen a low price in order to repay Xia Xingchen's favor, but he didn't expect them to be so willing to repay the favor.

They got closer, and the two sides pushed back and forth, and gave them the price of Chu's large batch of grain, which was only a little lower than the market price, but they could send them to Zhangzhou and Zhangzhou with a car and a person. Two places in the Golden State.

The next day, the three of them inspected the food symbolically, determined the quantity, and only waited for it to be shipped there. "Brother Xingchen needs your help with something." In the evening, Luo Xiaohan went to Xia Xingchen's house to talk

Xia Xingchen said cheerfully, "If you have anything to say, just say it, and if you can help, I will definitely do it."

"This time I came, not only for us to buy grain, you know that our business has always been related to Lord Yu, this time he knew that we were going to Qingzhou to buy grain, and he also asked me to buy a batch." Luo Xiaohan had no choice but to bring out the Jade King The name comes from "What does the Jade Lord want food for?"

"Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that the situation next year will not be very good. There will be a large amount of grain storage. There are too many people around Lord Yu, who dare not make too much of a move, so ask me to help. Among the ones set today, one-third is For Lord Jade"

Xia Xingchen didn't doubt his words, "You're right, so why are you transporting them back?"

"If you can't transport it to Jinzhou, people will notice it, and someone may read it in front of the emperor. Therefore, I will rent a warehouse here in Jinzhou to store food, and you can help transport it there, and don't go there later. Ask if you don’t want to see it. After I go back, I will give the location of the warehouse and the key to King Yu, and he will handle it. After a month, you will store the second batch of grain I want in these three warehouses, and then go there in a month. Just return it"

The first time was the food that Luo Xiaohan wanted to store in the space, and the second batch was the food that the Jade King really wanted. Because he was afraid that they would buy too much food and be targeted by others, so after a month, when others gradually stopped paying attention to this matter Only the Jade King secretly transported away the batch of food requested by the court

"Okay, this is a simple matter. I promise not to tell anyone. I will also tell Chu Yi about the seriousness of the matter. He knows how serious it is."

This second batch of grain is more than five times more than the batch ordered by Luo Xiaohan. Chu Yi also needs to contact other large grain producers to collect grain. food, so I dare not ask more questions.

In two days, all the grain was loaded into the truck, and Chu Yi sent people to escort them all the way. The grain from Zhangzhou went first. After Song Hanfeng said goodbye to them, he got on his horse and waved, and the convoy behind followed suit.

"Brother Xingchen, Qingming and I will go to the warehouse to have a look. When the order is ready there, we will leave tomorrow."

"The grain has been sent to the designated warehouse, but this will be the time when there are rats, and the warehouse is not tight, so we have to let them pick it up quickly."

"I know, I wrote a letter back yesterday, and it will be there as soon as possible." Luo Xiaohan thanked Xia Xingchen again, and rode with Xia Qingming to the warehouse.

What they bought to Zhangzhou was brown rice, polished rice, wheat flour, corn flour, and black rice flour, but only polished rice, wheat flour and corn flour were sent to Jinzhou, and there were only polished rice and wheat flour in the warehouse.

Luo Xiaohan quickly put the rice noodles into the space, "These are enough for our family to eat for several years." Speaking of this, Luo Xiaohan suddenly froze, "People have eaten, what about those chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep?"

"Brother Liu Ning will definitely prepare in advance"

"Miscellaneous grains, black rice flour and cornmeal are good villages, how to store green storage, wild vegetables, etc."

"Do you have a way to save green storage?" Seeing him suddenly stop, Xia Qingming asked

"I know that wild vegetables can be boiled and dried, and then cooked when you eat them."

"This method has been done by the old people in my hometown before. Let Brother Liu Ning prepare it first, and the farm here is also prepared."

Luo Xiaohan nodded, "It's a disaster, we've done everything we can, and it's up to God to see what it will be like." The author gossips:
