Chapter 161 The emperor and the young man join forces to rob
More than six million people were dispersed to various counties in Daqin, and the entire Guanzhong suddenly became busy. All counties were urgently dividing fields, building houses, and distributing various daily necessities to these people.
Even the Shaofu has accepted millions of people, not only filling the various farms with all the laborers who left the Shaofu during the previous land reclamation order, but also planning to open new farms.
Some projects in Qin that could not be started without labor were all started, and the new palace in Longshouyuan suddenly received an increase of hundreds of thousands of laborers.
Of course, the food supply in the entire Qin Dynasty also rose in response. In just a few days, the price increased by more than five times compared with the original price of food.
But the strange thing is that no matter how the price of food rises, it will all be sold within a short period of time. Boxes of silver are constantly being brought home, making all the nobles of Qin suddenly fall into a carnival.
"Purchasing, we need to purchase grain from various places. Qin has always been prosperous, and every household has some grain in storage. The amount of these grains is not large individually, but when gathered together, it is definitely a large amount!"
An aristocratic family head said in a firm tone: "I was near Tianmen that day, and more than six million people came out of Tianmen. I saw with my own eyes that there were so many people in Guancang and Shaofu.
There is definitely not enough food, even if it is brought from other places!"
"I am certain that the price of food will continue to rise. As for how much it can rise, it depends on how quickly our Emperor can procure food from various places!"
"I agree. The last time the young master came here, the food in the family was sold too cheap, but I should give it to Your Majesty. But with the surplus food we collected from farmers all over the country, even Your Majesty has nothing to say!"
"Shut up, all of you!" the head of the family said loudly with anger on his face: "For my family, there is no use having more money. The most important thing is that the inheritance in the military cannot be broken!"
"Your Majesty is not building a Royal Military Academy to teach the art of war. There are only three places for each title, which can only guarantee that three generations of children will enter the army. After purchasing a large amount of food this time, I will go to see Your Majesty in person!"
Speaking of this, the noble family head's face was full of pride: "In order to allow these people to survive, I don't think your Majesty would mind giving my family a few more places!"
"The head of the family is wise!" Several other elders in the family immediately saluted the head of the family. As long as the title is still there, the relationship in the military can be passed down and maintained. One more place to enter the Royal Military Academy will mean that the family will prosper for another generation.
In one generation, no amount of money can be earned back!
Such conversations continued to be heard in the homes of nobles all over the Qin Dynasty. The slaves of the noble families came to the countryside one after another and began to buy up the grain stored in farmers' homes, which also caused the price of grain in Qin to change three times a day.
No one noticed that when each grain store kept raising the purchase price, people kept bringing grain to the store for sale. The only weird thing was that all of these people wanted to settle in gold instead of silver.
But it is well known that the price of silver is much higher than that of gold.
Over the years, many gold mines have been discovered, and some people have even picked up gold nuggets, but no one has ever heard of silver mines being discovered somewhere. If not, how could the price of silver rise so fast?
In addition to secretly teasing these people for their lack of knowledge, a large amount of gold stored at home was constantly being taken out and sent to one store after another.
"The price of food has almost increased tenfold now. How many people are involved in it!" Zhao Wenduan sat at the top, the First Emperor sat next to him, and the two deputy commanders of the young master knelt and sat at the bottom.
Zhao Wen ordered the carpenters of the Young Mansion to make the chair specially. After all, even after traveling through time for so long, he still couldn't get used to sitting on his knees.
"Almost all the nobles and wealthy households in the Qin Dynasty are participating. These days, the amount of food shipped from various places continues to increase, and a lot of it is still on the way!" The deputy commander of the Shaofu wiped the sweat from his face.
He really didn't expect that this new deputy commander of the young master would be so courageous. He directly joined forces with His Majesty to rob all the nobles and wealthy households in Da Qin. No one else knew about the grain storage situation of Da Qin. He, the original deputy commander of the young master of Da Qin,
Still don’t know.
Not to mention the military rations in the various armies and the original rations in the Young Mansion, the pumpkins that were first planted had a yield of at least tens of thousands of kilograms per mu, and they have now begun to be picked.
Originally it was just the food stored in the past, so he was a little worried, but now that the pumpkins are ripe, the output is only much more than what His Majesty said. With so much food, he no longer has any worries.
If the various seeds brought by His Majesty that were planted in the past few days are added to the yield as stated by the Shaofu Ling, even if there are millions more people, I am afraid that the Shaofu's granary will not be enough to store it, and new ones will have to be built.
's granary.
Under such circumstances, taking advantage of the Qin nobles' ignorance of pumpkin production, they actually caused a food crisis. That is to say, His Majesty's hands were too powerful. Otherwise, when these people finally knew the truth, the entire Qin Dynasty would be affected.
They can all cause a stir.
"You said it's almost the same, that is, there are still people who are not involved. Who are they?"
Such an opportunity was actually able to resist not making money, which made Zhao Wen suddenly curious. Even the First Emperor next to him turned to look at the deputy commander of the Shaofu, obviously wanting to know how many of the ministers of the Qin Dynasty.
He is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
"The families of General Wang and General Meng even sent all the food they had in their homes to the Shaofu. The three cabinet ministers, Wang Wan, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Feng Quji, and Li Si, sent all their food to the Shaofu at low prices.
In the mansion!"
"Shi Teng, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wei Liao, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Zhuang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Yang Duan, the Minister of the Military Cabinet, and several others sent all the food stored at home to the counties to help the people!"
"It seems that my vision is not bad!" Zhao Wen nodded with satisfaction. These are the first ministers of civil and military affairs appointed by him. If someone is involved, this person will not be able to use them.
As for Liu Bang and Fan Zeng, he could understand it. Liu Bang had just become the Shaofu Order and his family didn't have much property. As for Fan Zeng, he probably just came out of Chu. God knows when he would arrive in the capital of Qin.
"The Chen family also sent all the grain stored in the family to the Shaofu granary!" the deputy commander of the Shaofu carefully replied.
"You all know that there is food in the young manor, and you are just following others to gain a reputation!" Zhao Wen smiled and shook his head, turned to look at Wan Sanqian and asked: "What about you, what have you gained?"
"I exchanged more than 30 million taels of silver for more than 3,000 taels of gold, and also added more than one million shi of grain to the Shaofu granary!" Wan Sanqian said with great indifference, even secretly lamenting the Great Qin Dynasty in his heart.
If the poverty of the nobles were replaced by the Ming Dynasty, the harvest in this wave would definitely be more than ten times greater!
