Harvest wheat in July and millet in September. The harvest of millet is not as good as that of wheat, but compared to previous years, it is still very gratifying.
Because of the killing of a few profiteers, the government has set a minimum grain price, and now the price of grain in the northwest is very stable.
Seeing the zhezi delivered from the place, a rare smile appeared on Yuxi's face. All kinds of grains were collected, and more than half of the government's granary was full.
Upon seeing this, Xu Wu asked: "Wang Hao, will I go to Jiangnan to buy grain this year?" In the past two years, he has purchased a large amount of grain from Jiangnan and Taiyuan. Because of the long distance and the uneven roads now, the cost of buying food is actually very high.
Yu Xi said, "I want to buy it." The government's current storage of grain is not that much, and the occurrence of natural disasters can't last for even a year.
Xu Wu said: "Wang Hao, the price of food in Jiangnan is 20% higher than last year." Jiangnan has been fairly smooth in the past two years, and there have been no major natural disasters. But Hubei, Henan and other places have rebellions from time to time. In addition, many people have died in these years and large areas of land have been deserted. In these places, if there is no food, they have to buy from outside, resulting in higher food prices year by year.
Yuxi frowned and said, "You have to buy food if the price of food is higher than last year, and you have to buy more."
Xu Wu didn't quite understand it, and asked: "We have a good grain harvest this year, and next year, if the potato is fully promoted, there will be more grains. Why go to Jiangnan to buy so much grain?" The grain they bought did not pass through Henan. , But shipped back from Hubei.
People who have been hungry like to save grain, and Yuxi is no exception. I always feel that there is no food in my hand, and I feel very flustered and unsure, but I can't tell the matter. Yuxi said, "Can you guarantee that next year will be as smooth as this year?"
Xu Wu shook his head, no one can guarantee such a thing.
Yuxi said: "That's not it. If the full text of the latest chapter encounters a natural disaster, it will be twice or even several times more than now before you can buy food." In the case of a rebellion, even if you buy food, you will be robbed.
In the evening, Yuxi talked to Yun Qing about this matter: "I want to spend another one million silver to buy grain this year." In addition to grain, other things such as beans and brown sugar have to be stored.
Yun Qing looked at Yuxi and asked suspiciously: "Our harvest this year is very good. There is no need to buy so much grain? Besides, we still have potato." This year's potato harvest is very good, and Tian Yang bought it again. More than 40,000 catties of seeds can be planted on a large scale this year.
Yuxi said: "Four years ago you could buy three stones of grain for one or two silver, but now you cannot buy one or two silver or two of grain. Once there is a natural disaster, if you have money, you will not be able to buy grain. We have a lot of grain in our granary, but only It can last until April and May next year." During the turmoil, you can only buy a few kilograms of grain for a couple of dollars or even not.
Yuxi likes to store more food. As a pillow, Yunqing, how can he not know. Yun Qing finds Yuxi's little addiction very interesting.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "I like to store food so much. If you don't know, you think you've been hungry?" Yuxi is a daughter of the Guogong Mansion. Even if she didn't like Han Jingyan when she was a child, she couldn't go hungry. Furthermore, she has the care of the big room.
Yuxi's heart jumped, but it didn't show up on her face: "I'm not listening to you saying that because of natural disasters, you gnawed the roots of sod because of lack of food? We have food in our hands. Natural disasters really occur. Soldiers don't have to suffer like that anymore. It's bitter."
Yun Qing was not against it, he was just joking, but Yuxi's answer made him very satisfied: "So much grain, the granary can't store it."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Herui, these grains are not placed in the granary of the government after they are purchased." Yuxi is going to store these grains in secret.
Yun Qing was a little surprised, and asked: "You mean to hide these grains? Why do you want to hide these grains?" Now the Northwest is their masters, there is no need to hide them when buying a grain. Unless Ok Hee has other ideas.
Yuxi said: "It's not hiding, it's not yd_sj; I want the spies of the court to know where we store food. Herui, I always feel that the weather will not be as smooth as it is now in the next two years. Now save more food, in the future The Northwest will have more stability." As long as there is food, the Northwest will always be peaceful.
Yun Qing's heart shuddered and asked, "Did you dream of something bad?" It's normal to think so. It was a very gratifying thing to have received so much food. As a result, Yuxi was now talking about natural disasters, and she had to make Yun Qing think more about it.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "No, it just feels like this."
Yun Qing thought for a while, nodded and said, "I will handle the granary." If the defense is discovered, the army will build it in a secret place, so that the spies can't find out if they want to.
Yuxi said, "It's better to build more." The more food she saves, the more stable she will be when the natural disaster strikes.
Yun Qing joked: "Are ten granaries enough?" Seeing Yuxi shook his head and said that at least twenty should be built, Yun Qing laughed.
Yun Qing didn't just hand over the construction of the granary to one person. Instead, he issued secret orders to the generals of the garrison, asking them to build more granaries in the garrison area. It was also that Yuxi knew that the location of the army rations was secret and good, so he specifically told Yun Qing about this.
Master Yuan Ying was puzzled when he heard that Yun Qing said that he would build several military granaries, and asked Yun Qing, "Master, what do you do with so many granaries? Is there any disaster?"
Yun Qing said with a smile: "Madam explained that the harvest this year may not be as good as it is now. Buying more grains will really happen, and we are not afraid of having grains in our hands."
Yuan Ying had some questions about Yun Qing's words, and said: "How does the princess know that next year's harvest will be bad?" Is it possible that the princess can pinch and count, and has the ability to predict.
Yun Qing can't say that Yuxi relies on intuition, because this is too trifling: "She also listened to the old farmer below. I don't think it's very reliable, but she thinks it's safe to save some food."
Yuan Ying disagreed with Yun Qing's words: "It is also thanks to the cautiousness of his wife. Otherwise, our battle last year would not have gone so smoothly." If Yuxi hadn't bought so much food the year before, they would have been upset. It won't be so smooth anymore. They have all suffered from hunger, and Yuan Ying agrees with both hands on the point of storing more food.
Yun Qing laughed: "She made this decision, which pleases you very much."
Yuan Ying didn't think too much, and said, "I don't want to pass the days of tightening my belt." In fact, like Yuan Ying's current position, even if there is a natural disaster, they won't be hungry. There is really no food, and those who are hungry are the soldiers and ordinary people below.
In late October, candidates arrived at Gaocheng. Because of Yuxi's words, there is an inn in Gaocheng that caters to these candidates. They are free to live in and board, and they can stay until they get results.
Only more than 500 people were admitted in the first round; even fewer people were admitted in the second township examination, with only 98 people. But it's not easy to pass the second game.
Yuxi showed Yun Qing the research questions he drafted this time. This test is the same as the one held by the imperial court. It is divided into three sessions, each for three days. The first is the proposition of the Four Books and the Five Classics, the second is the policy question, and the third is the historical theory.
Yun Qing took it and looked at it carefully. After reading it, Yun Qing said to Yuxi: "This matter will be handled by you." The four books and the five classics were all forced to finish by the husband, and he had never read history or anything. If he was asked to check the papers, his head would be very painful.
Yuxi also knew Yun Qing’s weaknesses, so he did not expect him to come about this matter: "If you have no opinion, then make a decision." Although Yuxi reads a lot of books and has rich theoretical knowledge, he has nothing to do with scientific research. Known. So this time I mainly rely on Han Jianming and Tan Tuo. Although Han Jianming did not participate in the scientific examination, he was in touch with this area. And Tan Tuo is a person who has experienced scientific research.
Of course Yun Qing is okay.
Yuxi put the subject of the scientific examination on the table and said, “It’s not a problem for Zaozao to hide in the front yard every day.” In order not to read and study, Zaozao simply stayed in the front yard at night and did not come back. However, Huo Changqing and Yun Qing both felt that jujube was still young, and it was not too late to read and write after two years, so they both protected jujube and let them live in the front yard.
Yun Qing smiled and said: "The child is still young. If you let her read and read, even if she learns, she will forget it soon. It's not too late to let her learn after two years." Yun Qing was also five years ago. I started to read and calligraphy at the age of.
In fact, jujube is only three and a half years old, and only five years old two years later. Five-year-old yd_sj; began to read and calligraphy, just right. But Zaozao's attitude made Yuxi realize that the matter of reading and writing characters must not be pushed back. If you don't insist now, you will lose control after two years.
When Yuxi heard this, he said angrily: "It sounds like I'm abusing her too much." Yuxi doesn't demand much of Zaozao. It is to let Zaozao recognize three or five characters every day, write each character ten times, and memorize a short paragraph of "Sanzi Jing". It's a pity that in Yuxi's eyes, a simple and easy course is an arduous task for Zaozao.
Yun Qing said helplessly: "Children don't like it, and force is useless. The more you force, the less she is willing to learn." He knows the pain of being forced to study, so he feels that it is not good to use this method.
Yuxi said: "If she doesn't force her to learn, she won't be able to recognize all the characters in the future." Seeing Yun Qing still want to speak, Yuxi shook her head and said, "Other matters can be discussed, but this matter is not to be discussed." With Yun Qing's temperament, Zaozao might really become blind when he grows up.
After a pause, Yuxi said, "I'm going to hire a gentleman to teach jujube. It doesn't take too long to learn. It only takes one hour a day."
Yun Qing frowned, but he also knew that Yuxi's decision could not be changed: "Don't ask those old scholars. Those old scholars are not old-fashioned. If you ask such a person to be Mr. Zao Zao, I guess Zao Zao When the date comes, he will be even more reluctant to learn.
Yuxi wasn't an unreasonable person, but he was forced by Zaozao to implement tough measures this time. If this child is not forced, Yuxi nodded and said: "Mr.'s candidate, I will be cautious." r8 For the convenience of next time, don't forget to bookmark this site!
