After hearing this, Wei Xuanzhen suddenly realized that Mr. Huang was really thoughtful. After all, no one knew whether the Chen family would regret it. The price of grain would be one price per day in the future. If he regrets it, he would be afraid that he would cause some disputes.

Although the transaction is troublesome, the immediate delivery is the most realistic. Mr. Huang and I have a little bad luck, but... they are also rare talents.

"Since that's the case, then everything will be up to you."

Chen Zhengtai answered very readily.

Immediately, the Wei family ordered people to obtain the land deed and asked the people from Jingzhao Mansion to protect them. That night, the continuous Wei family's grain carts arrived, which were vast and spectacular.

In the second half of the night, the trivial matters were finally done. Wei Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, while Huang Chenggong smiled from the side and couldn't help but say, "Master, the Chen family is really lucky. This time they are cheaper, but... Now the master can rest assured that he has food. I think Chen Zhengtai is just a child who is ignorant of the world, haha... I'm so stupid that I don't know that food in the year of disaster is the foundation. Such people cannot keep their family business."

Wei Xuanzhen subconsciously nodded and exclaimed: "Mr. Huang is best at identifying people. Since Mr. Huang has a savor to that kid, it must be wrong. Fortunately, this person is stupid. Otherwise, it would be really not easy to exchange for these foods."

"This is all because of the proprietor's decisive behavior. After a few days, the food price is unattainable, it will be too late for the boy to regret it."

...

After seeing off Wei Xuanzhen and the others, Chen Zhengtai was still a little confused.

To be honest, this disaster has come. He only wants to save people. He hoarded tens of thousands of stones of food in his granary. Chen Zhengtai is a conscientious person, and he refuses to do the disaster and wealth.

But I never thought that there would be two guys who would come to buy their own food.

Made... is mentally retarded!

Oh, by the way, it's time to prepare for disaster relief.

Chen Zhengtai almost never slept all night and was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He had a total of 100,000 acres of land. Although the real grain fields were only more than 10,000 acres, the mountains, forests and rivers were also very valuable.

This is nearly fifty square kilometers, which is equivalent to the administrative area of ​​a town in later generations, but now it belongs to the Chen family.

Chen Zhengtai never dreamed of such a good thing in his previous life.

Although I sold 15,000 stones of grain, I still had tens of thousands of stones of grain in my hand.

So... the grain sold will not hurt Chen Zhengtai.

But this place is valuable and you can do a lot of meaningful things.

Become rich.

...

The next day, indeed... the overwhelming locusts began to appear in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, covering the sky and sun, making people feel desperate.

These originally docile flying insects, but now... seem to have eaten Will Gang, suddenly became extremely violent. Wherever they passed, all the greenness was gone.

At this time... Chen Zhengtai hurriedly invited Li Chengqian and Princess Sui'an to come.

In front of the two, Chen Zhengtai looked very serious and said, "Junior brother, junior sister, now the Jingzhao Mansion is full of locusts, and the disaster has reached an urgent point. My teacher is in court, so I am afraid he is already in a hurry. After thinking about it, I am my disciple of my teacher, and I should share my worries with my teacher."

As he said... In the lobby of the Chen family, several locusts flew in, flapping their wings and making a buzzing sound.

Princess Sui'an said: "Senior brother said so well."

Li Chengqian looked like he had not woken up. When he saw the locusts everywhere in the sky, he felt that they were very fresh.

Of course... this is not because he has no conscience. He is the crown prince. He has been pampering since childhood and has never experienced hunger.

Not to mention the locust plague, even if the flood now floods over the entire Chang'an, the crown prince will definitely be unscathed and there are enough people around him to take good care of him.

So he didn't think the situation was serious, but instead felt that the flying insects in the sky made his boring life a little more innovative.

Chen Zhengtai pressed his hands and said to Princess Sui'an, who was always excited in front of him: "Junior sister, I haven't finished saying it yet. After that, you will comment on whether I'm saying it well? Cough cough..."

Immediately, Chen Zhengtai said: "Now, Erpigou has 47,000 stones of food, and in addition, there are tens of thousands of chickens and ducks..."

"Yo." When Li Chengqian heard this, he suddenly felt a little wet with his mouth: "There are so many chickens?"

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

ri!

"Your Highness, please be more serious."

"Okay, okay, you keep talking."

"We should provide relief to the people in the name of our mentor. I have been thinking about it. With my own strength, we cannot place so many refugees. Only when my junior brother and younger sister help can we get things done. If we think about it carefully, we need to provide disaster relief now. On the one hand, we need to release chickens and ducks immediately, try our best to swallow locusts, and alleviate the disaster. Secondly, we are recruiting refugees, resettling them, and using work for relief... In addition, we also need to try our best to invest in the market and stabilize the food prices..."

Li Chengqian became serious: "Where did you come from so many chickens and ducks?"

"I have bought it long ago, and the chicken is laid with eggs, and the egg is laid with chickens..."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but hesitate: "But why didn't there be anyone who gave birth to chickens before?"

“…”

Chen Zhengtai couldn't understand why this guy was always interested in chickens.

In fact... this is a very simple truth. Chicken and duck are actually very food-consuming. Ordinary people may have more wealthy families to raise a few chickens to lay eggs.

But they were reluctant to let the eggs hatch the chickens, because... Once the number of chickens exceeds the number, it is inevitable that they need millet. Using millet to feed chickens is a very luxurious thing in this era.

But Chen Zhengtai is different. He purchases chickens and ducks in large quantities and tries his best to hatch chickens. The chicken has extraordinary abilities and is enough to form a huge scale in more than two months.

"Junior brother, will you do this...do it?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while: "Okay, listen to you!"

The reason why the prince was brought in was because Chen Zhengtai needed to use the manpower of the East Palace to resettle the people on such a large scale, distribute food, and stabilize prices. This is not a trivial matter.

Seeing Li Chengqian nodding, Chen Zhengtai was overjoyed.

...

When the third uncle heard that Chen Zhengtai was going to provide disaster relief, he fell ill all of a sudden.

He is too difficult.

Finally, I saw that the family had improved a little.

Who knew that a prodigal son had actually appeared in the family?

In his opinion, the more the year of disaster, the better the opportunity for the expansion of aristocratic families like the Chen family. If you don’t stock up on food at this time, you will even go to release food. This is simply a waste of life.

What matters to the court is, what does our Chen family matter?

Even if the emperor comes to ask for food, the Chen family will never give it to him.

Aristocratic clans can provide talents to rulers, and at the same time, the rulers also provide many high-ranking officials and generous salaries to the aristocratic clans. These were justified at that time.

Even the Chen family could support the Northern Zhou Emperor, the Sui Emperor Yang, the Wang Shichong, and the Li Jiancheng, but... the support was to serve him, but if he was given money and food, there would be no door!

Because the reason is very simple, money and food are the foundation of a family, how can it be given to people easily?

Moreover... over the past century, dynasties have changed rapidly, and countless powerful dynasties have perished in the second lifetime.

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the present, the lifespan of a dynasty in the entire north is as long as decades, or as few as ten years. This has formed an inherent impression in the hearts of many aristocratic families, that is,... the emperor is just a revolving lantern, and there is no place to invest all his family's capital to an emperor.

After a few years, if Li Tang is finished, he will be in vain with the country, and the family that has lasted for hundreds of years will be destroyed.

Now... the Tang Dynasty was established for only ten years. At this moment, no one believed that this dynasty could last for 280 years.

In the concept of the third uncle, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty, the Northern Wei, Northern Zhou, and Great Sui were just a flash in the pan. It may be possible that after ten or twenty years, it will disappear.

Alas, Zhengtai is a child after all. He doesn't understand this principle, so I am different. I lived in my sixties and have experienced four dynasties. I ate more salt than anyone else in the Chen family except Chen Fu.

Helping the court to help the people is crazy...

Chen Zhengtai is very busy and has no time to pay attention to his third uncle. He is also ill and he will take care of himself...

At this time, the grain prices in Chang'an had risen to seven times.

Almost all families with some food have hidden their food. In the year of a disaster, the first thing that comes is a huge panic.

But... when the food price rose to seven times, everyone thought that the price would continue to rise... but the food price gradually began to stabilize, and even... it began to have a downward trend.

Because at this moment, the Chen family had begun to distribute grain, and everyone went to Erpigou, and each person could buy three kilograms of grain at the usual price.

All of a sudden, Erpigou was crowded with people coming to buy food everywhere.

Although there are too many people coming and very few people can buy it,... this gives many people the psychological expectations. Since there is cheap food to buy, why should you buy seven times the grain of those unscrupulous merchants? They would rather spend a few days to slowly line up and never ask about other grain stores.

At this time... countless chickens and ducks, led by Li Chengqian, had already released the cage.

Countless chickens and ducks are stocked all over the mountains. In order to feed these chickens and ducks, the Chen family has spent a lot of grains.

But now it’s different. The flying locusts flying all over the sky have become the most valuable meal for chickens and ducks.

The locusts that are now plagued are called East Asian locusts in later generations. Once they become plagued, the body will secrete toxins.

Of course, this toxin is very effective for birds, but because the toxin dose of a single locust body is extremely small, it is actually not high for chickens and ducks.

At this time, these chickens and ducks had not been fed much for many days. They were as thin as firewood. Their bodies were shaking out of the cage. Looking at the flying insects flying all over the sky, they rushed over like wolves and tigers.

Especially the gangstop, like a mouse falling into a rice jar.

Originally, chickens and ducks were still picky, but now they were very hungry and feasted.

On the other hand, Erpigou began to post "locust" usage guidelines everywhere, which clearly stated that locusts are toxic. If they want to be eaten in large quantities, thirty-five methods can be used.
