Although Zhang Shun had a good plan, Zhang Shenyan was quite suspicious of this. He couldn't help but respond: "As far as I know, the total annual taxes of the five northern provinces, Northern Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi are probably no less than ten million stones, and the national tax is more than 20 million stones. The reason why the lord buys grain is only one million stones. If one is not worth ten, how can it be useful?"

When Zhang Shun heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath. If the tax on grain of 20 million stones next year, he might have smashed himself to death. What kind of food war is there?

Although Zhang Shun did not understand the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Niangzi was originally from a border area and knew very well about how good the Ming Dynasty was.

She couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't let Zhang Gong say the data in the account. If the Ming Dynasty could really implement it according to the account, why would the bandits and the people live in poverty? I dare not say anything else, but I would say that Yansui is in the same place. Not to mention that it is a casual matter for half a year and ten months to owe the salary, what can I do if I give up the silver?"

"Whenever the money is paid, the price of grain rises, and the food purchased is less than half of the weekdays, what's the use?"

"I think what the head said makes sense. The white silver cannot be eaten or drunk. Only by saving food and grass is the right thing to do."

"If the court is unruly, it is just right to make a big fortune with small profits and make sure to make a profit without losing money; if the court can still survive, now that the troubled times are about to arise, the food will be worth the money. Since there is such a good opportunity, why not give it a try?"

Zhang Shun and Zhang Shenyan couldn't help but look at Hong Niang in surprise when they heard this. Zhang Shun was worried that Hong Niang, as a woman, would feel sorry for Curry's white money and refused to let him buy food. But he never expected that Hong Niang would be open-minded.

The Hong Madam was embarrassed when Zhang Shun saw it, so she couldn't help but look at herself quickly and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile, "With my wife like this, what do I ask for?"

"Really?" Hong Niangzi couldn't help but be overjoyed and said quickly, "Since that's the case, please ask the head of the family to leave Li Sanniang, Li Xiang and others as soon as possible to avoid disturbing the relationship between us and our husband!"

"Ahem!" Zhang Shun shrugged and said I didn't say anything.

Zhang Shenyan felt uncomfortable and almost laughed out loud on the spot. After a while, Zhang Shenyan continued, "Madam's words are reasonable..."

Zhang Shun couldn't help but glared at him, how could he make sense?

"Cough cough cough!" I didn't get involved in your family's bad things. My own family's affairs have not been settled. He had to pretend not to know and continue, "Since ancient times, those who have launched a military force are only money, food, soldiers and weapons."

"There are few soldiers and few weapons and recast them, but the only food cannot be obtained immediately. Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, leaving early and returning late, a family of five worked hard for one year, and only 10 to 20 acres of farming, and only 10 to 20 stones of farming."

"The year is slightly better, and there may be surplus grain. If the year is not good, the tax food is not enough, let alone other food."

"Even if the lord follows the wisdom of Weiwu's military farming, he still needs to occupy a foundation, rest with the people, rent oxen, farm tools, seeds, and also have acres of land to cultivate. It will be completed in one year and will be surplus in three years."

"In the past, Li Mi of Wagang Village occupied the three major granaries of the Sui Dynasty, returned to Luocang, Luokoucang and Liyangcang, and obtained millions of stones of grain. He recruited more than 200,000 people and became a hero."

"Although there is no such large granary near Luoyang now, the lord lures it with silver. If he could buy a million stones of grain, he would not be able to get to the Wagang in the past!"

When Zhang Shun heard this, hey, I know this. The peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, I studied textbooks. However, after so many years, he had already given his history teacher.

However, since Zhang Shenyan and Hong Niangzi both agreed to their own plan to buy food, this matter will not be mentioned for the time being.

So Zhang Shun asked again: "Since everyone has no objection, the key question is, how to buy so much food in the shortest time possible?"

Zhang Shun already had some understanding of the low transportation capacity of this era, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The Hongmao yawned without saying a word. As the saying goes, "After one pregnancy, she has been stupid for three years." Since she became pregnant, her memory has declined a little and she has lost everything.

In the past, apart from managing the logistics supplies normally, it would be fine if he could not offer advice to Zhang Shun.

But now there is a "breaker" again. The Hongmao is worried all day long, afraid that she will be exposed.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. The Hong Madam frowned, and turned her head and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Zhang thinks?"

Zhang Shenyan stroked his beard and then said slowly: "There is no perfect solution for this matter. But from my opinion, we can start from a few places."

"First, it's better for me to be alone. In the past, the rebel army sent Li Bai out to buy grain. Today, although grain merchants delivered grain to their homes, there was still some shortage. Why not continue to send Li Bai out to buy grain?"

As soon as Zhang Shenyan started, Zhang Shun couldn't help but interrupt: "I have received the news that Li Baihu will return to Luoyang tomorrow with 20,000 stones of grain. After Lu Weiqi's recommendation, I was going to let him be fully responsible for the purchase of grain in Luoyang City. If he is sent out again, who can replace him?"

Zhang Shenyan didn't expect that there would be such a change. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, slowed down for a moment before continuing: "I don't understand the matter of talking about business and checking the quality of food, but there is one person I'm sure there is no problem."

"I wonder who it is?" Zhang Shun became interested.

"Song Xiance, Mr. Song!" Zhang Shenyan smiled, "This person traveled around the world and traveled around the world, was knowledgeable and would not be easily deceived by others. Although he had no practical experience, he just needed to ask Li Baihu to take him a few times and he would become familiar with him. No, he was smarter than Li Baihu and suitable!"

When Zhang Shun heard this, he was really. Although this guy is usually treacherous, no matter what he does, he is really unreliable.

"Okay, let's go back on this matter, Li Baihu, Song Xiance, and I said separately. If it is correct, I will settle it." Zhang Shun responded.

"Secondly, the 'river god' Huang Shoucai was also engaged in buying grain. Although he was delayed for various reasons, he must have other ways to agree to this matter. In addition, he has a high reputation among fishermen and boats, so he could not even rent a ship for grain transportation."

He raised his troops for a thousand days, and used his troops for a while. Since the establishment of the Navy, Huang Shoucai has harassed and stopped Cao Wenzhao's troops. He is still idle and no one can do anything except practice.

So, Zhang nodded and said, "What Mr. Zhang said is very good, and he will do a multi-pronged approach. I believe Huang Shoucai can buy some food."

"Third, the Luoyang city often closes the warehouse, and the Fengji warehouse is too short. The Luoyang County Magistrate can also be ordered to be responsible for this matter and try to make up for it in the near future. There are also large households in the city who can also give instructions and encourage more grain."

The so-called "regular liquidation" is actually the establishment of warehouses to adjust grain prices in this era. They can be purchased when the grain prices are low and sold when the grain prices are high to maintain stable grain prices.

Fengji Cang is used to store grain in a good year to prepare for the shortage of disasters and to provide relief to the city.

Although these two warehouses are well designed, they are only because of the continuous natural disasters and corruption in recent years, which has long been empty, which is almost the same as none.

Originally, Zhang Shun wanted to borrow these two warehouses to store grain. Since Zhang Shenyan raised this matter, he must have caused bleeding from the two government agencies in Henan Prefecture and Luoyang County.
