Chapter 470: The Seed of Help
Dong Shi continued: "I am from the Dong family in Yangzhou. Our Dong family has been doing business for generations. When it comes to my father's generation, he has accumulated a lot of money by selling grain. Unfortunately, both of his father and mother were killed. In order to protect me, my sister married the Jiang family. However, after my sister married into the Jiang family, the situation did not improve. I was still chased day and night. I guess it was the Jiang family's attack. This time I fled to Xuzhou, and I was also looking for someone to save my sister."
The keen Yu Qinghuan had already noticed something was wrong: "Is your parents' death an accident or a thought?"
Dong Shi clenched his fists: "I don't know, my sister won't tell me, but I guess it's artificial."
Yu Qinghuan lowered his eyes again, his voice calmly: "What did the competitors in the same industry do? Otherwise, how could your father be chased as a businessman?"
Dong Shi's next words shocked Yu Qinghuan: "Mr. I taught a saying, "A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." Three years ago, my father's merchant ship went out to the sea. When he came back, he brought a seed of grain. The grain could be planted anywhere, whether it is fertile land or in the fields, even after the land was cleared on the mountain, he could plant it. The yield per mu is fifteen to twenty stones. My parents' death was related to my pursuit, which may be related to this kind of grain. If I do this, my sister's situation will definitely not be optimistic!"
In addition to grains, there is such food in this world?
Yu Qinghuan was deeply shocked!
Finally, she restrained all her emotions and told Dong Shi: "That thing is so powerful. Don't tell anyone about this in the future, it will definitely bring disaster to killing."
Dong Shi asked Yu Qinghuan: "Don't you want it?"
Yu Qing laughed and replied: "Why don't I want it? If I were a businessman, and I had a yield of fifteen to twenty stones per mu, it was a gold mine, and I would definitely fight for everything."
Dong Shi said stubbornly: "But you just don't want it, I can see."
Yu Qinghuan said: "Why are you telling me this? Did I have a trustworthy face?"
Dong Shi shook his head: "I want to do business with you.
”
Yu Qinghuan: "Oh?"
Dong Shi's little body was tense: "As long as you rescue my sister from the Jiang family, I will give you the seeds of food."
Yu Qing laughed and said, "The seeds of the grain were brought back by your father three years ago. It has been three years. Can the seeds still be used?"
Dong Shi said: "It can be used. After my father brought the seeds back, he asked his confidants to plant them in several secret valleys. Last year, I had at least 100,000 stones of seeds on hand. As long as you save my sister, I will give you all these seeds. If you can sow the seeds after the spring rain, you will get rich overnight by autumn this year."
Yu Qinghuan shook his head and chuckled: "Is there such a good thing in the world? Will you give it up at will? I don't believe it."
Dong Shi said: "Maybe my father and mother may have died because of this thing. I can't keep it alone, not to mention that I only have my sister and one relative. If I can save my sister, I will not feel sorry for me to give you all the things in the Dong family!"
Yu Qinghuan said: "I have something more important to do, and I need to consider your proposal."
Dong Shi looked puzzled: "Why? You are not moved."
Yu Qinghuan reached out to touch Changsun Tao's cheek: "For your sister, you are willing to exchange everything. I also have people who are more important than gold and silver."
Dong Shi clenched his fists and said nothing in the end.
Yu Qinghuan picked up the needle and continued to sew clothes. After a while, she suddenly put down the needle and thread basket, blew the bamboo whistle and summoned Mingzhu, and asked it to go to the next door to call Yang Qian.
Dong Shi was in the house. Even though he was just a child, Yu Qinghuan dared not leave him alone with the seriously injured Changsun Tao.
In this world, there is no age between bad people and devils.
Whether it is a good person or a bad person, you can be very young or old.
Mingzhu let go of Huihui, who was still unable to move flexibly, and swayed his little body to the next door. Yang Qian came soon, and Sanmeng followed behind him.
"Miss Chu, what's wrong?"
Yu Qinghuan signaled them to sit down: "Please sit."
The two of them knelt in front of the small table, brewed a pot of tea with the water burned on the small red mud stove, and waited for Yu Qinghuan to speak while drinking.
Dong Shi continued to go back to the table to practice calligraphy, and ignored Yang Qian and Sanmeng. Yang Qian knew that Yu Qinghuan had something to say, and waved his hand lightly, and a small tea piece hit Dong Shi's faint hole. Dong Shi immediately collapsed on the table.
Yu Qinghuan got up, took Dong Shi back to the couch, covered him with a blanket, and then sat down next to Yang Qian and the others.
Yang Qian was ready, waiting for Yu Qinghuan to release some shocking news. As a result, Yu Qinghuan said: "Yang Qian, do you believe in the cycle of cause and effect, and do you believe in the retribution of heaven?"
Yang Qian was silent for a while: "I believe it, but I don't believe it."
Finally, Yang Qian continued to add: "What's your life? It's useless to tell you in advance. You can't see it when you live in the present, and it's too late to wait until you understand."
That's why Yang Qian said this contradictory thing, because whether you believe it or not, when it presses you hard to rub it on the ground, you don't even have the chance to resist. So what if you believe it or not?
Yu Qinghuan held the teacup tightly, bit his lip, and said, "The person lying on the couch is the son of the Dong family in Yangzhou. Dong Shi. Her father went to sea three years ago to bring a kind of grain seed, with a yield of up to twenty stones per mu. And that kind of grain can be planted in the fields and on the mountains as long as a piece of land is cultivated."
Yang Qian and Sanmeng widened their eyes, their excitement could not be suppressed. If there was really something like that, once it was promoted nationwide, why would the people worry about filling their stomachs?
They know the importance of this kind of sub.
Yu Qinghuan continued: "Dong Shi's parents are likely to be killed because of this kind of child, and Dong Shi is also hunted for this kind of child. He said that if we can save his sister, he would be willing to give me the seeds, and in his hands, there is about 100,000 stones of such child."
Yang Qian and Sanmeng can no longer speak.
Yu Qinghuan said again: "In these few days, my father and mother asked me to dream of me. They said that a huge flood would break out in Yangzhou in June, and most of the fertile fields in Yangzhou will become a vast ocean. Yangzhou, which produces five out of ten foods needed for the Qin Dynasty, will be unrecovered this year. At that time, it will be full of devastation and starvation. This is what your master called the Yangzhou catastrophe."
"If there was indeed a time when the imperial court had unfavorable disaster relief, what was waiting for the people of Yangzhou would be hell. At that time, the most shortage would be food. Even if the imperial court put the whole country in charge of disaster relief, the national treasury would be hollowed out. The Qin Dynasty's treasury is not abundant, and the granary is dissatisfied, and it cannot withstand such a disaster."
"Yang Qian, I may know what the key is. The things that the Dong family owns are too important and too precious. They rely on the Dong family alone, and they cannot protect them, and they cannot make them grow enough food for the whole country to eat for a year."
"If you want these seeds to be planted after the spring rain, it will become the key to disaster relief. Either the government will promote planting through the whole country, or leave it to a family as strong as the Southern Bai family."
"But it is not realistic to hand it over to the court, because in the current court, the emperor is busy suppressing powerful ministers, the prince is busy competing for the reserve, and the ministers are busy protecting themselves. At this time, they will not do time-consuming and labor-intensive things like promoting food cultivation until the disaster comes. Even if there is a good official who loves the people as much as his son, he will probably be alone."
"So, the only way to do this is to the Prince Qi Mansion and Bai Family. In this world, I am the only one who can support Bai Li and his adopted mother, because I am the daughter of Mrs. Bai Li's best friend and Bai Li's favorite sister. If I go out to talk to the Bai family, they will definitely be willing to help."
"In the end, even if the Bai family is not alone, then you, Yang Qian, will be there. Your power can ensure that the Bai family will not be blocked and destroyed by those who are interested when doing this."
"On one side is the Bai family, which has one third of the financial resources of Daqin, and on the other side is the largest civil forces of the sea and land. These two major forces gathered by me. Wouldn't I become the key to solving the problem?"
"More importantly, Dong Shi used the seeds of these 100,000 stones of grain to trade with me, and I could get these seeds."
Although he was the descendant of the Master of Life, Yang Qian still felt that the dreams mentioned by Yu Qinghuan were too mysterious, but Yu Qinghuan said it firmly and he instinctively believed it.
In fact, he was ready, and it didn't matter if the "critical" could not be found. He would not force his cousin to do anything, so when Yu Qinghuan took the initiative to talk to him about this matter, he was very surprised.
