chapter three hundred and sixty four
Wang Hou's cheeks also twitched slightly.
The autumn harvest is approaching soon, and the number Su Shuang reported was two million stones!
A stone of Han is almost over 100 kilograms, and two million stones are 100,000 tons of grain. Although it is a big mistake compared to 100 million tons in later generations, it is now a chaotic era in the late Han Dynasty. A state can guarantee its own food rations and export nearly 100,000 tons of grain. This shows how Chen Dengzhi can.
This amount is even more than 200,000 stones higher than last year, but it is still far from enough for Wang Hou. You must know that Mount Tai, Rizhao, Island City, Weigang, and the Heishan Army are now open. These are not grain-producing land but grain-consuming land. If you divide the grain into two million stones, it will be almost gone.
"Langya Kingdom can export 400,000 stones, but as for Qi land, it can only produce 800,000 stones of grain this year."
Zhuge Lie also reported helplessly.
Wang Hou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this answer, but Wang Hou was a little annoyed and repeated in surprise.
"Only eight hundred thousand stones?"
In terms of fertile land, Qi State is stronger than Xuzhou. Shandong in later generations was an important part of the Chinese agricultural product base, and Xuzhou was not on the list. In this case, Chen Deng could export 2 million stones, but Qidi could only pay 800,000. The gap really made Wang Hou a little unacceptable. You should know that Qidi has been recuperating for more than a year.
Moreover! As the prime minister of Qi, the three counties of Qi were in charge of Qi, Sima Yi did not come to the Qingzhou regular meeting summoned by Wang Hou before the autumn harvest. He also had to ask his neighbor Zhuge Lie to report. This attitude really annoyed Wang Hou.
"The state governor, Le'an County and Jinan Kingdom also had to raise two brigades of Zang Ba Taishan, and they had a lot of expenses. Moreover, after General Zhang Yan stationed in Qi according to the order of the state governor, he caused a lot of trouble. Before the Xiaguan set off, Prime Minister Sima Guoguo made an appointment with the Xiaguan to advance eastward. However, in Baqiu, the Wu Dun cavalry and the Heishan cavalry had a bloody battle. The Sima Guoguo, who had arrived halfway, had to go back to mediate. I hope the state governor would forgive me!"
Wang Hou couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and he really said that he was not willing to live up to his own evil! He looked at the century-old families, including the Taishan Army, the Black Mountain Army, and throwing troubles there. Now he has no idea how to repay the Qidi family, who is grinning, has nothing to say.
A few days ago, Jia Xu reported that Sima Yi formed an alliance with the local aristocratic race and tried his best to win over the relationship. On the one hand, he was indeed ambitious, and on the other hand, Sima Xiaoyan is also forced to do so.
Rizhao was built by Wang Hou, and the iron factory was built by him. No force could threaten his rule. Zhuge Lie was born in Langya County, and one-third of Qingzhou was safe and sound.
The island city is a little more complicated, but Jia Xu has a second island city voyage to call, and Jia Xu is tough in speaking, but what does Sima Yi have? There is nothing!
Zang Ba Wu Dun listened to Wang Hou, but it did not mean that he could only sell him some face. Now Nezha is making trouble under his nose, which is also difficult for Sima Yi.
Jia Xu was a little gloating there, asking you to lose money and take trouble, and you are now defeated!
However, he was not too worried. Although there was a gap between one million stones, it was still possible to get 500,000 and 600,000 stones. Cao Cao went to the frontier to attack Wuhuan, and at most he sent 100,000 troops, and 100,000 strong men to transport food, which was enough.
In ancient times, wars consumed huge food! In long-distance transportation, such as Emperor Wu of Han attacked Hu, and the food furthest from the Jianghuai River. When it was transferred to Yanmen Pass, it would be good if 20 stones could be in place. However, the most difficult period was solved by Wang Hou by sea. Shen Kuomengxi wrote a calculation that 10,000 people ate 12,000 stones of food on the spot, and with the horses, 600,000 stones of food was enough for Cao Cao to march outside the border for four months.
In this era, what force can allow the Han army to attack within its territory for four months? Even the Huns cannot do it!
It is estimated that Mr. Cao had no hope that Wang Houzhen had hoarded one million stones of grain, and even only 400,000 stones of grain, he was probably satisfied.
However, what Jia Xu didn't know was that Wang Hou's million stone of grain was not just for Cao Cao to eat, but he also wanted to go to Liaodong to stock up on military rations! The 400,000 stones he wiped out happened to have lost the food he wanted to leave for him. When he pinched his chin, Wang Hou was worried.
It was really hard to get out of the bottom line of people. With the preparations of several important officials and allies, they pinched their chins and thought for a long time. Wang Hou finally drew his fingers again.
"You owe you more than ten trump sums of money to get your gambling debts, but you can force it to collect the debts, but if you can't pay it back, I will send it to the ship to work and repay it! Tomorrow, I will gather the island city ships and transport Rizhao to me to the seats and stockpile grain in Liaodongjiao!"
Even if he sells the person to Wang Hou as a sailor, he will definitely be stripped of big skin. It would be good to give him ten guan to three guan, but this is a big income and it will be in vain. The high-speed rail was so happy that it was the first to jump up and bow heavily.
"The villain obeys the order!"
…………
This is a holiday, probably Jia Xu and others didn't want to have a meal with their own. They all wanted to go home and eat with their family. As for the high-speed rail prodigal son, he was reluctant to eat with him, but Wang Hou didn't want to eat with him yet, so he sent them away.
On this end, several people took cars out from the big iron gate. On the other side, a carriage came in easily under dozens of knights' sergeants.
Wang Hou was hypocritical enough. He said he missed his daughter. After taking Changle back, he sent her to Laoshan School to send her to study. Although he built a separate college for her to study for her daughter, this is a rich man, but he still has no parent-child education.
But at least one day, one off day for five days, so the whole family can reunite.
He threw away a bunch of documents, changed his lifeless face just now, and even looked in the mirror to sort out his clothes, then he went downstairs with a smile.
"Le'er, Dad is here to pick you up!"
At the door of the carriage, an old face was as happy as the old chrysanthemum. Wang Hou welcomed him with "extremely kindness". However, the only young master in Qingzhou who needed Wang Hou to "favor" him was not ashamed of him. His small body jumped out of the carriage, holding a doll, Le'er and I didn't see it, took a small square step and ran towards Lu Ji on the other end.
"Auntie Lu, Le'er misses you!"
"Forehead……"
Not only Wang Hou was embarrassed, but even his mother Cao Hongjie was embarrassed. In the awkwardness, Wang Hou laughed again and rubbed his head with a dull face.
"Little Deng Ai, he has grown taller again!"
"Wow! Braised pork and soft fried river shrimps, Xiao Dengzi will leave!"
The brother-in-law Cao Zhang, who was sent to the Cavalry Academy by Wang Houjian and was carrying a basketball made of pig urine, jumped down the last time, but pulled Deng Ai and ran away. It made Wang Hou's face thrust!
The last one to get off the bus was Zhen Mi. Originally, this girl was having a lot of trouble, but she got off the bus with a tangled heart. Looking at Wang Hou's twitching mouth and the blue veins that were raising her forehead, she closed her mouth sadly. She didn't dare to mess with Wang Hou again at this time, otherwise she would be a bundle of hemp ropes to serve her. This pervert!
Fortunately, although Wang Hou, the number one leader in Qingzhou, had no face at the welcome party, the dinner for the reunion was quite warm. Changle was showing off the people and things he met in the academy with a slight voice, and also shook the embarrassing story of Cao Zhang burning clothes at the newly built Eternal Fire altar. The boy was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
After a meal, Wang Hou took the initiative to pull Zhen Mi out.
"Tell me! What's the matter?"
In the study, watching the girl staring at the ropes of clothes hanging, she narrowed her head, Wang Hou was a little depressed and leaning on her arm and carried her back, she slipped to her Taishi Chair, sitting comfortably while asking lazily.
"that……"
The little hand fingers lit up in great confusion, and hesitated for another second, then Zhen Mi asked for it with difficulty.
"My brother Zhen Yao came to see me from Jizhou and wanted me to ask me to ask for a job in front of the provincial governor!"
"oh!".
This brother-in-law made me hate him so much that my teeth were itchy! Another brother-in-law appeared on the other end. Looking at Zhen Mi's entangled appearance, Wang Hou himself couldn't help scratching his head.
"Let him come to see me tomorrow!"
