The weather was good for the six years of Liaodong.

Perhaps it was really prosperous and declining. Wu Nian's expectations were not realized. From the end of the New Year to February and March, there were three light rains in Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture, and they were all wet with the soil.

The level of the surface.

The water level on the river is getting shallower and shallower.

There are more and more wrinkles on the heads of ordinary people.

Beishan Fort.

With Wu Nian's military and political transfer and leaving with Wu Nian's ancestor worship, this ordinary small castle became more and more inconspicuous.

Outside the city.

A large number of fields were scattered with frowns.

Under Wu Nian's rule, there were no military households, only people. Beishan Fort did not have too many large households, almost every household had land.

The advantage is that the division is even, and the disadvantage is that the risk resistance is extremely poor.

"I'm going to suffer this year. Most of the crops I have left with are not going to survive." Zhang You stood on the field with a hoe, looking at the dry fields, and sighed.

He is Zhang Sheng's family, and a son is a personal soldier beside Zhang Sheng. But he is still in Beishan Fort, and he is with his wife's family to make a living by farming.

As an old farmer, he is very familiar with this situation. If he is lucky, it will rain next time, then it will be easy to say. If he is lucky, there will be no harvest.

"No matter how bad it is, you have to plant it. Only after planting it can you produce food. If you don't plant it, you can only eat the northwest wind." Zhang You's wife wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed.

"Why."

Zhang You sighed and nodded.

"By the way. From now on, we have to save food. The whole family eats food according to the minimum standard every day and survives. Especially when we eat less and let our children and grandchildren eat more."

Zhang You turned his head and said to his wife.

"If there is no granules this year, even if we calculate the food we eat every day like this, I'm afraid we can only last until March and April next year. How can we bear the rest of the days?" my wife sighed.

This is because Beishan Fort has harvested a lot every year in recent years. Even if it supports the army, every household has surplus food.

This is how it is.

People can survive if there is a bumper harvest, a drought or something else. But if there is a drought for two consecutive years, then basically every household will be clean.

"Let's talk about it then." Zhang You smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.

............

Jinghai County.

Although Goguryeo, Fusang and Chu were far away, they had money to make money, and the merchants still transported food from the sea.

Wu Nian's plan for the future was really right.

Now the whole of Liaodong knows that this year will probably be very sad. The price of grain in the entire Liaodong has begun to rise.

Although Wu Nian offered the merchants a high price before, it was normal now. But Wu Nian took action first and made an agreement with these merchants.

They were also credible and did not owe any debts. So after these merchants arrived in Liaodong, they immediately handed over the food to the prefect Lu Sheng.

Because there was too much food, the granary in Jinghai County could no longer be installed. Lv Sheng asked Liu Wu to send troops to transport half of them to Jiang County.

As soon as the merchants' ships docked, they were served in one-stop service. Liu Wu's soldiers stared at them throughout the journey.

Li Tianbao's naval army also dispatched all to patrol the sea and protect the merchant ships. There was nothing we could do.

I was planning ahead before, but now it is a life-saving magic weapon.

These foods are life-saving.

In the prefect's yamen, Lu Sheng sat in the main seat wearing a black dress, and below were a large number of officials who were manipulating the abacus to calculate the amount of grain they purchased during the past period.

After a while, an official from the household house, sweating profusely, handed it to Lv Sheng, bent down and said, "Sir. This is the total."

Lu Sheng quickly reached out to take the white paper and started to watch it. There were joy and sorrow on his face. The words on the white paper were clearly written in black.

Without saying that the fraction is removed, this group of merchants transported food from the sea. It is more to say more, and it is really less to say less.

There are 5.23 million kilograms of rice and 2.3 million kilograms of wheat. Together, there are 7.5 million kilograms of grain.

It looks quite a lot.

But there are really few special codes.

According to Wu Nian's military food level, a warrior ate at least half a kilo of food every day. Now Wu Nian has 130,000 to 140,000 soldiers under his command, which is calculated as 100,000.

I need to eat at least 50,000 kilograms of grain every day. I have to go to 20 million a year.

The population of Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture is between one and two million. This is not a child, and the annual rations cost at least 200 million.

Of course, you can also make porridge, just don’t starve to death.

Moreover, this is also a prerequisite. This year, Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture are really unrecovered.

In short, this 7.5 million grain looks a lot, but it is actually not much.

But there is nothing we can do about it. The load capacity of the ship is really limited. The sea is so wide.

"News came out immediately. I would like to raise the price of food. As long as they could transport it, our generals of the Han Dynasty would eat it. They would give them real money and silver. They would never be left with a copper plate."

A cold sweat broke out on Lu Sheng's forehead and he raised his head to the official in the house.

"Yes." The official responded and went down immediately.

"I hope everything goes well." Lu Sheng reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said in his heart.

The trade on this sea is very risky. Now Wu Nian, the Mongol Yuan and Chu are enemies at the same time. Moreover, the Goguryeo people are also eyeing Liaodong.

This time, Wu Nian launched the plan ahead in advance, and no one side stopped him.

Now that Liaodong is clearly drought, all parties may use their strength to block food vigorously. There is no way. All parties are vast and wealthy.

This is a drought, and there can be a support.

There are only two palaces here in Wu Nian. It’s all drought all of a sudden, isn’t it just that it’s controlled by others?

Those who are ambitious about Liaodong may wake up from laughing in their dreams.

................

In Jiang County, the weather is getting hotter and there are fewer pedestrians on the streets.

In the study of the General of the Han Dynasty, Wu Nian sat in the main seat, and below were the Chief Secretary Liu Zhixing and the Prime Minister Zhang Haiping.

"Chen Jiagui received the news. It was said that the Empress Dowager of Goguryeo ordered the order to block food and not allow food to leave the country. There was no news on Chu State, but it is likely that the same would be true."

"The Mongols seemed to be contacting the pirates on the sea and blocking us. They would not allow merchant ships to come in."

"These people around me are counted as one. I wish I, Wu Nian, died in the drought. Although we prepared for the future and got seven or eight million kilograms of food, we could breathe a sigh of relief. But in the long run, I am afraid that it would be full of food.

lose."

Wu Nian sat in the main seat, drinking coldly, and his tone was very heavy.

This is easy to talk about in war, and the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road.

But the skillful woman cooked without rice. Now the officials of the All-Super Han General's Mansion are in a panic.

The people of the Mongol Yuan, Goguryeo, Chu, and Fusang pirates were all tigers and wolves, and they all wanted to get a piece of the pie from him.

Wu Nianzheng discussed countermeasures with two civil servants. The wave was not resolved and another wave started. A personal soldier came in from outside and reported: "Report to the general. The county magistrate came to report. It was said that two people from outside the city were for the sake of water.

The fight killed two people and injured dozens of people."
