"Sir, I have about one million food here." Zhou Guang replied.

"How many?!" Wu Fan looked at Zhou Guang in shock when he heard this.

"One million dan." Zhou Guang said: "If it is not enough, I can still make up another 20,000 to 30,000 dan in a short period of time. If it is more, it will take some time."

"hiss!"

Wu Fan was sure that he heard it correctly and couldn't help but take a breath.

Once the food is about 100 to 120 kilograms, the amount of food in this million kilograms will be more than 100 million kilograms of food. This number is definitely an astronomical figure in the current world.

"How come you have so much food?" Wu Fan couldn't help asking.

"Isn't this what you said before?" Zhou Guang looked at Wu Fan in confusion.

Wu Fan was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that he had thought that this troubled times were coming, and rebels were everywhere in the territory of the four superpowers. Most of the rebels appeared because they lacked food. Therefore, he judged that food would be very tight in the future. Therefore, he explained that Zhou Guang was hoarding food in the dark.

But Wu Fan never expected that Zhou Guang had secretly raised so much food, which was much beyond his expectations.

However, Wu Fan also had new doubts.

"Where did you raise so much food?" Wu Fan asked: "Isn't Yanfeng short of food in China? Why did you prepare so much?"

"There is a shortage of food in Yanfeng Country, but it is just that ordinary people are short of food." Zhou Guang said: "The rich and officials are not short of food."

Wu Fan suddenly realized, and then realized, "But one million dan is not a small amount. It may not be easy for you to raise this grain, right?"

"Yes, sir." Zhou Guang said: "Now, the price of grain is once a day in the streets of the imperial capital. There are signs of shortage of grain. We can buy it from the market in the early stage. Later, we can no longer buy too much grain from the market. After that, I used my relationship to find some officials and bought some official grain from them through bribery."

"Official grain?" Wu Fan said in shock: "Is it illegal to buy and sell official grain? Are they not afraid of death?"

Wu Fan had previously investigated and dealt with cases of stealing and selling official grain in Qingyuan County. The court explicitly prohibited such a thing. At the least, it was possible to go to jail, or at the worst, it was possible to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Wu Fan did not expect that he would encounter such a thing again in this imperial capital, but this time, he represented the buyer, not the official.

"Fear of death?" Zhou Guang smiled sarcastically: "As long as you have money, they can even sell their parents! Moreover, many people now mean the importance of food. Therefore, they are hoarding food through various means. As long as those officials have the means to get food, they are now taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. If we don't buy it, will others buy it? As for the court? The court is in chaos now, and the new imperial capital has not yet been confirmed. Everyone's eyes seem to be staring at the throne, and no one has the heart to take care of food."

Zhou Guang is different from Wu Fan. After all, he has always been stationed in the imperial capital, so he is more familiar with the situation of the imperial capital.

Zhou Guang is also a relatively flexible person. With the path Wu Fan paved for him before, he has developed quite smoothly during this period and has made many officials in the court, and his connections are not even comparable to Wu Fan.

After receiving the order from Wu Fan to hoard grain, Zhou Guang attached great importance to this matter because he had also realized the importance of food. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect the matter of hoarding food. Not only did he buy it in the market, but he also bought it from big investors and officials through connections.

Nowadays, there are not many corrupt officials in the court of Yanfeng Kingdom. Zhou Guang made a lot of money with the things from the Hermit Village. With money to pioneer the way, the process of purchasing grain was very smooth. In fact, most of the one million Dan grains he had accumulated were obtained from the butler. As for the market, the food that could be bought was very limited.

After hearing Zhou Guang's words, Wu Fan nodded silently.

It seems that the situation in Yanfeng Country is even more corrupt than I thought.

Zhou Guang said it right. Now the officials in the court are paying attention to the throne, and not many people have the heart to manage the affairs of the people. As the Minister of Revenue, Zhou Yanfeng was even more determined to fight for power and profit before, so how could he care about official grain?

In this way, other officials in the Ministry of Revenue will naturally have the opportunity and space to operate.

People die for money and birds die for food. In the face of sufficient benefits, even if they lose their heads, many people will rush to do it.

Nowadays, food is very in short supply, and selling food can make a lot of money, and this food is not the officials' own. Therefore, for them, this is a completely incompetent business, and only fools will refuse.

"You're doing well." Wu Fan nodded and said, "Prepare a few trucks of food immediately, I have urgent needs."

“Yes, sir”

"In addition, as long as you have the opportunity, you still have to continue to accumulate food." Wu Fan said: "Many times, food can even kill people more than weapons!"

"I understand." Zhou Guangying said: "However, there were many people who bought food before, and there was probably not much left in the official warehouse on site. It is probably unlikely that it would be possible to buy more in large quantities."

"It doesn't matter, buy as much as you can." Wu Fan said.

"Yes, sir."

Originally, Wu Fan thought that Zhou Guang could have a few dozen or hundreds of food, but he didn't expect that he had hoarded so much, which gave Wu Fan the confidence.

What's more, Wu Fan himself can grow grain on Tianshan Mountain. In this way, grain is no longer a problem for him. He can even plan carefully on this matter to get the best interests.

As he said, many times, food is more likely to cost human life than weapons, especially in this chaotic world, where food has soldiers and confidence.

In order to save this million yuan of grain, Zhou Guang specially built a warehouse and sent people to guard it closely. He himself knew the importance of these grains.

However, several trucks of grain could be loaded quickly, but Wu Fan changed his mind and did not transport the grain out of the city immediately, but prepared to wait.

He is already ready to make a fuss about food!

Just as Wu Fan was sitting in Zhou Guang's mansion and resting while drinking tea, a few dull bells came from the direction of the palace.

Wu Fan was slightly stunned at first, and then he quickly understood:

Zhao Lun's throne ceremony is about to begin!

Wu Fan immediately stood up and walked outside.
Chapter completed!
