The food problem soon faced the Dacheng Dynasty.
Wen Rensheng sat in a corner of the restaurant, still watching.
He also wants to know how the other party solves this problem.
The little mysterious power he allowed could not make food drop from the sky out of thin air, nor could it make the weather smooth and turn dry fields into irrigated fields.
With the trade blockade, food prices suddenly rose, and hungry people everywhere had to rely on relief to survive.
In the past, there would have been large households taking the initiative to provide relief.
But this is war time, and who knows how long it will last?
The needs of reincarnation are also covered by the war. If there is not enough food, we will starve to death in this life. How can we talk about the next life?
And if food is not abundant in the market and cannot meet everyone's needs, then its price will not double, but will rise until some people cannot pay the price of food and starve to death.
"Teacher, those people are so miserable, should we help them?" Zhao Han's sidekick, a little palace maid, ran over and begged.
"Oh, I understand, next time I will let you play a supporting role in a sweet love drama." Wen Rensheng thought for a while and said.
"Uh, what does this mean?" Zhao Han was stunned.
"You are not suitable for this kind of drama about the evolution of civilization," Wen Rensheng shook his head and said, "Did Xiao Huan ask you to come here?"
"Yeah." Zhao Han had no choice but to betray his teammates.
"Lao Han, you are unethical and promised not to betray me!" Xiao Huan suddenly appeared and rubbed Zhao Han's maid's headdress into a mess.
"I didn't betray it. The teacher guessed it."
"Next time, I'll let you be a pet dog, the kind that can only eat dog food!"
"don't want."
Wen Rensheng rolled his eyes and the two of them disappeared.
Sure enough, this kind of civilized drama requires rough men.
His eyes were on Lao Wu, his father, and the driver.
Lao Wu formed a death squad of eunuchs, claiming that "you can have no roots, but you can't have no seeds"!
My father is using plagiarized poems to raise funds from all over the place.
The driver, Lao Li, haunts the back houses of various places, trying to turn the wives' personal money into military expenses.
Or you guys understand the key.
This war is all about money and food.
The Dacheng Dynasty had plenty of money, but did it have food?
…………
Forbidden City, Beijing, South Study Hall.
"The Ai family has long said that they need to build more granaries and prepare more food. However, upon further investigation, it turned out that 30% of the 100 large warehouses were empty, 20% were rotten rice, and the other 50% were also unevenly packed.
!”
"Bring all the warehouse officials to the Ai family. The Ai family wants to see where those rats have moved the food!"
Lu Zhi was furious.
At this time, she felt the same as Liu Jian.
I know I shouldn't do something, but I just can't stop some people from doing it.
Do they lack some money?
There is no shortage, even though the gallows is hanging above the head, there is still an endless stream of those who are lucky.
She couldn't understand the stupidity of those people at all.
Sure enough, robots are better.
If you are not allowed to do something, you will never do it unless you are poisoned.
"Follow the Queen Mother's orders." The ministers trembled.
In fact, everyone knows this well.
Warehouses have always been high-risk areas.
What is trading in old rice, selling new rice and replacing it with old rice, only covering the surface.
Don't have too many ways to deal with the censor.
If it doesn't work, there are many natural disasters such as drifting, rodent infestation, etc. as cover.
Doesn’t the Queen Mother know?
The Queen Mother knew it, but it was impossible for her to control it.
There were more than tens of thousands of granaries in various places in the Dacheng Dynasty, large and small?
The first assistant then said: "Queen Mother, please calm down. In fact, there is a lot of food stored among the people. As long as we severely crack down on hoarding and force the grain merchants to sell food, there will be no crisis of food shortage."
"It won't work. Just by cracking down, the grain merchants will have no enthusiasm. They will just think that the court is short of grain, and they will be more and more reluctant to sell." The Minister of Household Affairs shook his head.
He is very knowledgeable about these business matters.
The more the court takes control, the more people below will have countermeasures.
If you want grain merchants to sell grain at a low price, there is only one way: sell more grain at a lower price than they do.
If they can't do it, strikes alone may be effective for the time being, but they will cope, delay, and hide. How can the court have so much energy to play hide-and-seek with them?
Everything has to pay attention to cost.
"Your Majesty, our main grain-producing areas require a large amount of fertilizers from overseas. For example, struvite, a magical product that increases production, can no longer be imported."
"I heard that the Westerners have developed a synthetic ammonia production line to produce chemical fertilizers. They should introduce it immediately. Whether it's stolen or robbed, the Aijia want to see it." Lu Zhi at least still has some knowledge and knows that modern agriculture is based on modern times.
Based on chemical fertilizers.
Mass is conserved.
If plants want to produce high yields, they must have enough nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in natural soil cannot withstand the absorption of crops.
A piece of land that has been planted for several years will become barren and must be abandoned to restore its fertility.
If you don't want to abandon the wasteland, you must fertilize and artificially replenish it.
"Yes, Queen Mother." The ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is also an order that people from the Guangming Department must enter the granaries in various places, and the common people will take turns to guard them!" Lu directly ordered.
She finally knew that just by relying on these ministers, they would be able to do things, but they would not offend others easily.
Even though they knew there was a problem in the warehouse, they turned a blind eye because there were too many people offended and they couldn't see any benefits, or even the benefits themselves.
Where do all kinds of ice, charcoal, and Four Festival gifts come from?
It doesn’t come from here.

Hylarson Port, Allied Forces Headquarters.
"Haha, according to the information provided by the Dacheng merchants who have taken refuge in us, the price of food has tripled compared to before the war started! Many low-income families have long run out of money to buy food and are struggling. They can only rely on the porridge provided by the relief to survive.
"The coalition commander said happily holding a piece of information.
"Great, this means that our blockade is effective. We can suspend the attack on their inland. As long as the sea trade is blocked, they will fall into the feudal dynasty's cycle of chaos and collapse due to lack of food."
The chief of staff cheered.
"Poor those poor people, who didn't let them see clearly the face of the Queen Mother earlier? If they had come to our side early, they wouldn't have to worry about the food problem."
"Yes, these stupid Oriental guys worry about food every year, but they don't know that they deserve to starve to death if they go overseas to open up wasteland."
"We have pinched their testicles. In less than a year, they will be in civil strife. By then, we will be able to take advantage of them."
The coalition saw a bright future.
But new news came that the imperial court had killed 120 warehouse envoys and thousands of grain merchants who colluded with them.
The copied grains were then concentrated on some major markets, triggering a collapse in grain prices.
Yes, where did the food go?
They must have gone to a grain merchant to be able to eat so much grain.
When the imperial court captured these rats, they naturally received a large amount of food.
The chief of staff didn't care about the new news. He said arrogantly: "It doesn't matter. This is destined to be a temporary decline. As time goes by, the food supply will rise again."
Everyone nodded.
Indeed, when the imperial court released food, the price of grain dropped significantly. As the supply of food decreased, the price of food rose again.
The only real solution is to increase production far beyond people's basic needs.
