Chapter Ninety-Nine: Severe Food Shortage

"Yuanfu! Before noon tomorrow, a month's worth of grain will be brought to Zhuangzi, and the ox cart will also be left in Zhuangzi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"A month later, Zhuangzi will start to supply your cottage."

Zhou Cangyi arched his hand: "Obey." ”

Everyone was amazed.

Zhao Feng was raising food everywhere.

is a clear-eyed person, and he knows at a glance that he is going to make a big move.

Those who can borrow grain are Zhou Cang and Zhang Lei.

It's a pity that Zhang Lei's family has withdrawn, otherwise he should have been able to borrow more.

As long as he survives until mid-September and collects the grain, Zhao Feng will have money to spare and can do other things.

"Chunlan! Starting tomorrow, we will grind the wheat into powder with all our might. ”

"That's it! Today is arranged like this for the time being, and tomorrow at this time, we will still gather in the hall for the final arrangement. ”

"Yes." After that, everyone exited the hall.

The next day.

Zhang Lei's three ox carts and 100 stone of grain were transported to Zhuangzi early.

Before noon, Zhou Cang also transported 900 stone and 50 stone grain to Zhuangzi. Nineteen ox carts carrying grain also remained in Zhuangzi.

Among them, 650 stone of wheat and 300 stone of chestnut rice.

It is enough for Zhoucang Cottage to eat food for a month, and it is not enough for the people in Zhao Feng Zhuangzi to eat for half a month.

The main thing is that Zhao Feng sends people to fish every day, and he can add a point.

Otherwise, there would be enough food for ten to twelve days.

Zhuangzi also began to grind wheat frantically.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the grain transported from Zhending County also arrived.

There were 2,300 stone of grain, including 950 stone of chestnut rice and 1,350 stone of wheat.

At this time in time, wheat is much more than chestnut rice, after all, winter wheat is harvested in spring.

The grain arrived, so everyone consciously gathered in the Zhuangzi Hall.

Zhao Feng knelt on the main seat.

I calculated silently in my heart.

Judging by the grain, Zuixianlou's business is not bad, and it has reached its own expectations, about more than 400,000 yuan a month.

The money earned in a month can buy about 2,000 stone chestnut rice or wheat.

Two thousand stone of grain, just barely enough, the people in Zhao Feng Zhuangzi ate for a month.

A month later, the Zhoucang cottage will start to run out of food.

In the future, Zhou Cang's department will also need Zhao Feng to supply.

The monthly food consumption of the Zhou Cang Department is also about 1,000 stones.

In other words, now Zhao Feng's food shortage has reached a thousand stones!

If it is changed to money, it is a month, and there is a minimum shortage of 220,000 yuan!

Now Zhao Feng Zhuangzi has a total of 3,900 stone of grain. Barely consumed for two months.

But Zhao Feng is about to travel far away, and he will definitely need to take away a few months of food.

The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, and Zhao Feng was helpless.

He began slowly, rubbing his temples, and said, "Judging from the current situation, in a month, our food shortage will reach about 1,000 stones. ”

"And tomorrow, I'm going to take some people to Luoyang. It is also necessary to take away several months of food. ”

"In this way, those of you who stay behind may not wait for a month before there will be a food crisis. Is there any way to fix it? ”

The crowd was silent. With such a big gap, no one can come up with anything to do.

Zhao Feng saw everyone, and no one spoke.

sighed in my heart, sure enough, the step was too big, and it hit the egg.

Zhang Lei hesitated for a long time: "Do you have to go on this trip?" ”

"I have to go!"

Zhao Feng is also helpless, the trip to Luoyang is imperative!

Because Zhao Feng probably remembered that around August, the Yellow Turban thieves in various places were about to start rebelling again.

Then Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others became one of the eight captains of the West Garden.

From Zhending to Luoyang, it will take three months to go back and forth, if there is an accident, delay for some time, and if you don't get it halfway, you will encounter trouble.

Whether or not they can come back safely is a question.

There can be no delay at all.

And there is.

If you wait to pacify the Yellow Turban thieves and go to Luoyang, you don't know how long it will be delayed.

Come to think of it, it will take a few months to quell the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Zhao Feng remembered that in the first half of next year, in March and April, Emperor Ling died.

After Emperor Ling's death, no one knows whether he can still buy officials.

In case, when the Yellow Turban Thief was pacified, Zhao Feng led people to Luoyang, but as a result, Emperor Ling hung up, wouldn't it be in vain.

After all, it takes time to go to Luoyang.

has never been able to think of a good way, Zhao Feng was ruthless in his heart: "Zhang Lei, order you to go to the Wang family as soon as possible, and ask them if they still remember the grain and grass incident half a year ago." ”

"If you remember, you want them to spend money to avoid disasters."

"If you don't remember, you're going to say that!"

Zhang Lei arched his hand: "Obey." With that, he ran out of the hall.

"Zhao Goudan, come with me to meet Master Youyi."

"Yes."

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Brother, it's about to be dinner, why don't you go for dinner." There wasn't much time to lose. ”

"Sooner rather than later! It's the same when I come back to eat. After speaking, Zhao Fengtou didn't reply, and left the hall.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Goudan casually led two war horses and galloped out of Zhuangzi.

The speed of the war horse was fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Feng and Zhao Goudan arrived at Youyi Mansion.

Zhao Feng dismounted and bowed his hand to the doorman: "Please inform Master Youyi, just say that Zhao Feng asks to see him!" ”

The doorman returned the salute and immediately ran into the mansion.

With Zhao Feng's current family business, the doorman didn't dare to talk nonsense at all.

In less than a stick of incense, there was a family with Sun You and trotted out: "Brother Bohu, I haven't seen you for some time, I miss it very much!" ”

"Master Youyi specially sent me out to greet you, follow me into the house." After saying that, he made a gesture of please.

After a few casual shudders, Zhao Feng followed Sun You into the mansion.

Entering the hall, Zhao Feng arched his hand: "I've seen it, there is an old man!" ”

Then he got straight to the point and said: "The kid has a good thing, I want to give it to the old man, I don't know if I can talk about it alone?" ”

Qi Youyi thought for a moment: "Then follow me into the study for a while." ”

When he came to the study, Qi Youyi touched his beard and said directly: "Zhao Feng, I haven't seen you for half a year, I know very well that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

"What's the matter, just tell me."

Zhao Feng nodded, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his chest, and put it on the case: "This is the title deed of Zhaojiazhuang!" ”

"How much is Zhuangzi worth? I think there must be an expert who knows it very well. ”

"I used Zhuangzi as collateral to borrow 5,000 stone of grain from Master Youyi."

"At the end of the year, 6,000 stone of grain will be returned, if it is not released, Zhuangzi will belong to Master Yi!"

"How? Isn't it a good thing? For less than half the price, it is possible to take Zhuangzi. ”

"Even if you can't take Zhuangzi, you can get a thousand stone of grain!"

"No matter how you count it, it's a good thing."

Qi Youyi thought for a while: "What do you want so much food for?" With your current financial resources, you shouldn't be short of food! ”

Zhao Feng opened a drunken immortal building in the county seat, and Qi Youyi knew that it was normal.

I don't know, it's not normal.

As long as you understand a little bit, you will know how much money Zuixianlou makes.
