Coming back from the palace, Li Chao called Cui Yingying and Zhao Siniang.
Hongxian is pregnant, so everything at home is lost to Zhao Siniang, but fortunately, Cui Yingying is now taking care of the child, and she can occasionally take some time to take care of things, and she didn't let Zhao Siniang die alone.
"Take out half of the food at home, and someone from the yamen will come and collect it later."
"What" Cui Yingying frowned when she heard this, "Collect grain, take away half of our family's grain, why" The Li family now has a lot of land and a lot of grain, and this summer they have collected more than 20,000 stone of rice alone, not counting millet, wheat, and beans.
Well, it is not considered the harvest of the fields in Hebei and Longyou and Shuofang.
Just counting the land in Gyeonggi, the Li family now has tens of thousands of acres.
With so many fields, this summer's harvest was abundant, and the Li family harvested tens of thousands of stone grains.
Moreover, the Li family also has a trading house, a grain shop, and a mill, and the family has built granaries in several places, and the warehouses full of new grain this summer.
The old grain has been cleared out of the warehouse, and it has been taken to the grain store to start reducing the price.
Every time she looked at the food on the ledger, Cui Yingying was extremely satisfied.
Now Li Chao said in a word, saying that she would take out half of it, how could she be happy.
"Government and buy, market price."
"What is the market price, who doesn't know that there may be a drought this autumn, who is not hoarding grain and harvesting grain, and who is still buying at the market price at this time, who is stupid?"
Li Chao stepped aside and sat down.
"I'll tell you, don't tell anyone else.
Now the weather is dry, and this autumn is definitely going to be dry, this autumn harvest will definitely not be good, and it will be good to have three or four harvests.
But the imperial court estimates that next year may be followed by a drought, and then there will be a big locust plague. ” "Great drought, great locust plague" "Well, the great drought and locust plague that may sweep the Central Plains.
After the great drought and locusts, there will definitely be a great famine.
Li Chao told them the situation briefly, "The imperial court is now actively thinking about preparing for disaster relief, and food is the top priority."
Let the imperial court buy grain from the grain merchants and landlords, this is my own suggestion. ” "You brought it up" Cui Yingying was a little surprised.
"The world is in chaos, the world is in chaos, and the world will be in chaos, and everyone will not have a good life.
Business is difficult to do, and the days are sad, so we take out some food, also for the poor people in the world, in other words, for ourselves to have a peaceful life. ” "But if there is really a great famine, our family's food will be taken out, what can tens of thousands of stones do?"
"Start with us and take the lead, if everyone can contribute, this natural disaster is not so terrible.
Besides, we have such a field and such a land, and now we take out a little grain and sell it to the imperial court, and we don't lose money, we can still keep half of the grain ourselves.
Li Chao persuaded.
Cui Yingying is a very shrewd woman, but sometimes she is not the kind of person who cares.
She quickly figured it out, and since this and the purchase was proposed by her husband, of course she had to support it.
In the afternoon of the same day.
Jingzhao Mansion and Taifu Temple, Shaofu Supervisor Taicang and several other yamen came to Li's house by beating gongs and drums together.
Li Chao opened the door and announced to the onlookers in front of the Li family's stone lion that the Li family was willing to buy it, and took out 30,000 stone of grain to the court at once.
According to the current market price, the imperial court paid the Li family the 30,000 stone of grain.
Then the officials went back with a cart of grain, and deliberately took a turn around Chang'an Sixth Street, parading the streets and making loud noises. 30,000 stone of grain, the grain package alone is more than 300,000 bales, millions of catties of grain.
The tolerances pulled hundreds of carts at a time, and only a small part of them were pulled.
However, this effect is really not to say, Li Xiangguo, the most popular in the dynasty, actually sold 30,000 stone of grain to the imperial court at one time, which is amazing enough.
Now there are rumors everywhere in Beijing that this year's drought will continue, the drought will continue, the autumn harvest will be poor, and the grain will definitely rise.
Of course, Li took a good start generously, and after buying 30,000 stone grains at once, he didn't lose anything.
After all, this grain is sold at market price, and it is not a free donation.
Moreover, Li Chao has now won a big government order.
His disaster relief cake project is in full swing, although the imperial court is now also starting to make disaster relief cakes, but the imperial court needs a large number of disaster relief cakes, so Li Chao's prince is the leader of the factory, which is owned by countless bureaucrats and local tycoons, and has received many outsourcing orders.
The workshop received the order, and then bought grain from the government, mixed it with various materials, processed it into relief cakes, and then sold it to the government.
In and out, money is not less.
Li Chao packed his luggage at home, went to Dengzhou, a far place, eight hundred miles, took the Lantian Ancient Road, went to Wuguan, and then went to Dengzhou City.
This is still a nearly straight line, Chang'an, Bashang, Lantian, Wuguan, Dengzhou, the most convenient route.
Eight hundred miles of road, it is not far away, but it is not close.
Cui Yingying wanted to follow, but the child was still young and didn't dare to bump on the road.

Even Zheng Wanyan and Hongxian are pregnant, so there is no wife and concubine who can accompany Li Chao to Dengzhou.
The wives and concubines are not going, but Li Chengqian's group of bears and children are all going.
At the beginning, it was just that Cheng Qian was going to go, and Li Chao asked the servants to inform the children's families and let them come and take the people away.
Who knows, in the end, each family just sent a few servants over, and brought children's clothes, etc., and then left a message.
The grandfather and wife of the family felt that Xiao Langjun followed Li Xiang and the prince to go outside to experience the experience, which was very good.
Hearing this, Li Chao almost wanted to scold his mother.
What is called going to experience Yijun is only ten years old, and the youngest is three or four years old, do they know what it means to throw the child to themselves, and they have to take it to Dengzhou, that is, they regard themselves as teachers of the summer camp, and take them to camp Their father and mother are really relieved.
Li Shimin is like this, and now these prime ministers and ministers are also like this.
Bathing ditch.
The continuous drought has also dropped the water level of the bathing ditch reservoir a lot, and now the mills and mills are greatly affected, and the hydraulic machinery such as hydraulic sawing and hydraulic punching and casting are under-operated.
Lack of water.
After harvesting the rice terraces, the fields have been turned over, the mud has been broken up and the ridges have been made, and soybeans have been planted.
Because of the drought, the watermill kept running day and night.
A group of long-term workers lie on the waterwheel all day long, desperately pedaling on the waterwheel.
In the reservoir, the water is getting clearer and clearer.
Li Chao and Pingyang have a tryst on the ship.
Pingyang also has a holiday villa in Bathinggou, which is quite far away from Li Chao's, but the two will quietly have a tryst on the boat, so that it is difficult for others to find out.
"You really don't take those two children home, it's eight hundred miles away, and when you get there, I don't have so much time to take care of them, you can rest assured."
Pingyang sat there peeling shrimp for Li Chao, not crayfish, but it was as spicy and delicious after cooking.
"It's better to follow you to Shannan than to leave it unattended in the capital.
I found that those two children still listen to you and are afraid of you.
But it's not all fear, they are willing to listen to you and obey you.
With me, I'm just afraid, hey, I don't think I can take children. ” "Why is there no one to take care of you in the capital, where are you going?"
asked Li Chao.
"To Tangzhou" "Tangzhou" Li Xiuning nodded, her slender hands were very dexterous and beautiful when she peeled shrimp.
In a few clicks, he peeled a shrimp ball and sent it to Li Chao's mouth.
Li Chao leaned on her lap, opened his mouth very enjoyably, and bit her fingers.
"I begged Shimin to let me go to Shannan, begged several times, and asked for a governor of Tangzhou."
Tangzhou is in the east of Dengzhou and north of Suizhou.
Tangzhou is Fangcheng Mountain in the north, Tongbai Mountain in the south, Huainan in the east, Xiangyang in the southwest, and Yuzhou in the northeast.
It can be said that Datang wants to build a new capital in Dengzhou, which is the eastern gateway of the new capital, which is very important.
"Did you say that Your Majesty already knew about our relationship?"
"I don't think so."
Since the two of them really got along, although they often had trysts, they were sneaky and cautious every time, and in public, the two of them always showed a look of love and hate.
"Did you go to Tangzhou because of me?"
Pingyang nodded.
"You went to Shannan, and it didn't make sense for me to stay in this capital."
"But when I get over there, I'm in Dengzhou, you're in Tangzhou, and I don't have a chance to be together."
"I don't care, at least I'm not far from you."
Well, Li Chao doesn't understand women's thinking.
"It's a pity that our public relationship is still an enemy, or I will walk with you.
It just so happens that your wife and concubine are not going, what a good opportunity, but it's a pity. ” "If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight" "San Lang, I like to listen to you recite poems and lyrics, and I will listen to a few more poems."
"As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world" "Don't Talk, Kiss Me" It's very troublesome to go out, and there are a lot of things to bring, but Li Chao doesn't need to worry about it.
In fact, Li Chao doesn't want to go out in his heart, he likes to live like this in Chang'an, relaxed and idle, living an unrestrained life, having a virtuous wife, a gentle concubine, a beautiful concubine, and a warm family.
Occasionally, look at the development of the family's industrial layout, point out, or train the prince to teach his noble students.

Every once in a while, I also went to the palace twice last time, chatted with Li Shimin and the prime ministers about national affairs, and occasionally gave advice.
More often than not, I still enjoy the comfort and freedom of being at home.
Riding a horse to practice archery, playing with iron guns to swim, and when you have leisure, you can also go into the mountains to hunt, go down to the river to catch fish, how pleasant.
But comfort is also relative, the real thing comes, and what needs to be done still has to be done.
"Husband, bring Qiuyue and Dongqing with you, you have a mouth, I'm afraid that you are busy and don't want to cook by yourself, these two girls have your true skills, and they have been with you for a long time, and you are used to it.
With them by your side, we are also reassured.
Cui Yingying said thoughtfully.
"If you're lonely over there and don't dislike these two girls, you can take it, I don't have an opinion." t1706231537:
