Chapter 2416 A large amount of food

"Sir, I have about one million dan of food here." Zhou Guang replied.

"How much?!" Wu Fan looked at Zhou Guang in shock when he heard this.

"One million denier." Zhou Guang said, "If it's not enough, I can get another 20,000 to 30,000 denier in a short time. If it's more, it will take some time."

"hiss!"

Wu Fan was sure that he heard correctly and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Once the grain weighs about 100 to 120 kilograms, this one million denier of grain is more than 100 million kilograms of grain. In today's world, this number is absolutely an astronomical figure.

"How come you have so much food?" Wu Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't this what you told me before, sir?" Zhou Guang looked at Wu Fandao doubtfully.

Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had thought that troubled times were coming, and rebels were everywhere in the four superpowers. Most of these rebels appeared because of lack of food. Therefore, he judged that There will definitely be a shortage of food in the future, so Zhou Guang was told to secretly stockpile food.

But Wu Fan never expected that Zhou Guang would secretly raise so much food, which was far beyond his expectation.

However, Wu Fan also had new doubts.

"Where did you get so much food?" Wu Fan asked, "Isn't there a food shortage in Yanfeng? Why did you prepare so much?"

"There is a food shortage in the Yanfeng Kingdom, but that is only for ordinary people." Zhou Guang said, "The rich and officials are not short of food."

Wu Fan suddenly understood, "However, one million dan is not a small amount. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to raise these grains, right?"

"Yes, sir." Zhou Guang said: "Now in the streets of the imperial capital, the price of food is one per day, and there are already signs of food shortage. We can still buy it from the market in the early stage, but later on, there is no way to buy too much from the market. After that, I found some officials through my connections and bought some official rations from them through bribery.”

"Official rations?" Wu Fan asked in shock: "Is it illegal to buy and sell official rations? Are they not afraid of death?"

Wu Fan had previously investigated and dealt with the case of stealing and selling official grain in Qingyuan County. This kind of thing was expressly prohibited by the imperial court. At the least, he could be jailed, or at worst, his family could be confiscated and his family exterminated. Wu Fan did not expect that he would do it again in the imperial capital. Something like this happened, but this time, he represented the buyer, not the official.

"Afraid of death?" Zhou Guang smiled mockingly: "As long as they have money, they can even sell their own parents! Moreover, many people now understand the importance of food, so they are hoarding food in various ways. Those officials, as long as they have the means to obtain food, are now taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. If we don't buy it, will others buy it? As for the court, the court is in chaos now, and the new imperial capital is still in chaos. There is no certainty, everyone’s eyes seem to be fixed on the throne, and no one has the mind to care about food.”

Zhou Guang is different from Wu Fan. After all, he has been stationed in the Imperial Capital, so he is relatively familiar with the situation in the Imperial Capital.

Zhou Guang is also a person with a relatively flexible mind. With the road paved by Wu Fan before, he has developed quite smoothly during this period and has made friends with many officials from the DPRK and China. His personal connections are not even comparable to Wu Fan's. .

After receiving Wu Fan's order to stock up on food, Zhou Guang took the matter very seriously, because he had already realized the importance of food, so he did not dare to neglect the matter of stocking up on food. , not only bought in the market, but also bought from large households and officials through connections.

Nowadays, there are many corrupt officials in the Yanfeng Kingdom's court. Zhou Guang has made a lot of money by using the things in the Hermit Village. With the money to clear the way, his purchase of food went smoothly. In fact, this accumulation Most of the one million denier grain was obtained from the steward. As for the grain available on the market, it was very limited.

Wu Fan listened to Zhou Guang's words and nodded silently.

It seemed that the situation in Yanfeng Country was more corrupt than he thought.

Zhou Guang is right. Now the officials in the court are all focusing on the throne. Not many people have the mind to care about private affairs. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Yanfeng was focused on fighting for power before. Where else would he go? Are you concerned about official food?

In this way, other officials within the household department will naturally have opportunities and space to operate.

People die for money and birds die for food. In the face of sufficient interests, many people will rush to do even the most embarrassing work.

Nowadays, food is in very short supply, and you can make a lot of money by selling it. However, the food does not belong to the officials themselves. Therefore, for them, this is a completely costless business, and only fools will refuse.

"You did a good job." Wu Fan nodded and said, "Prepare a few carts of food immediately. I need it urgently."

"Yes, my lord"

"In addition, as long as you have the opportunity, you still have to continue to accumulate food." Wu Fan said: "In many cases, food is even more deadly than weapons!"

"My subordinates understand." Zhou Guang responded: "However, there were many people buying food before, and there is probably not much left in the official warehouse on site. It is probably impossible to buy in large quantities again."

"It doesn't matter, buy as much as you can." Wu Fan said.

"Yes, sir." BiquPai.CoM

Originally, Wu Fan thought that Zhou Guang would be lucky to have dozens or hundreds of dan of grain, but he didn't expect that he actually hoarded so much, which gave Wu Fan confidence.

What's more, Wu Fan can also grow grain on Tianshan Mountain. In this way, grain is no longer a problem for him. He can even plan well on this matter to get the maximum benefit.

As he said, in many cases, food is more deadly than weapons, especially in this chaotic world. If you have food, you have soldiers, and you have confidence.

In order to store the one million dan of grain, Zhou Guang specially built a warehouse and sent people to guard it closely. He himself knew the importance of these grains.

However, several carts of grain can be loaded quickly, but Wu Fan changed his mind and did not immediately transport the grain out of the city, but prepared to wait.

He was ready to make a fuss about grain!

Just as Wu Fan was sitting in Zhou Guang's mansion, drinking tea and resting, a few dull bells came from the direction of the palace.

Wu Fan was startled for a moment, then he quickly understood:

Zhao Lun's coronation ceremony is about to begin!

Wu Fan immediately stood up and walked outside.

He also wanted to see the coronation ceremony!
