1814 Open the Porridge Shed(2/2)
That is to say, if you are just messing around, it is impossible to have a big effect. The level of this magic arrow is definitely possible to change the amount of money your employer will give you. The better it is, the more you will be given.
Buying magic arrows has become something that archers must do. And now in the archer market, many employers look at their magic arrows first, and their own abilities are put second.
Yes, this is very unfair to many archers who do not have magic arrows, but this is the reality of this society. Maybe your archery skills are very good, but you do not have magic arrows. This will not work either.
If you shoot ten arrows, it's not as good as someone with magic arrows who can shoot once. No matter how powerful you are, no one will use you. After Li Cong knew the news, he knew why this was the case. This must be a hype. In fact, for
For archers above level eight, as long as they are stronger, this magic arrow can be said to be dispensable, and sometimes it can even get in the way, just like when an eight-level archer attacks some monsters.
, they all like to directly hit the vital points of the monster, and can almost kill the seventh-level monster without noticing it. However, although the magic arrow is very powerful, the air fluctuation caused by it is also very powerful. The monster discovered
The probability is also high, but magic arrows also have the use of magic arrows. If you kill the boss, there are so many minions around you, it is impossible to kill one with every arrow. At this time, magic arrows with large area damage will
It is ready to appear, so magic arrows have their own market, but they are not as powerful as they are now.
An important source of money for magicians is magic arrows. Li Cong has reason to believe that magic arrows are so highly hyped that it is the magicians who are behind it. However, he is the beneficiary of this matter, so only a fool would run out and say so.
This thing is wrong. I don’t want to be enemies with all the magicians in the world. Seeing that he has obtained more than ten million taels of silver, Li Cong is also very happy. He chats with Art Wolf for a few more words and this guy
I was about to go out to the medicinal materials market to have a look. I guess there are some new products there. Who knew that when I went out, I ran into Li and Cui Xian'er, mother and daughter. They had also just come back from outside. It looked like they had been there before.
Things have been resolved very well over the past few days, and Cui Xian'er also has a smile on her face.
"You, my child, used to be in poor health and didn't want to go out for a walk. Now that you are well, you are always bored in the room. When I go out for a walk, I can only ask my daughter-in-law to follow me out. I have raised a son.
I can't see you every day." When Mrs. Li saw Li Cong come out, she scolded her for a while. Although she said that she didn't want this and that she didn't want to, Li Cong could also see that his mother was still very satisfied with Cui Xian'er. A while ago,
Because of Cao Zheng's death, Mrs. Li felt very sad. If Cui Xian'er hadn't recovered well during this period of time.
"Mother, you don't know what kind of temper your son has. If you let me go out and follow you around, it would really arrest me. Although I haven't gone out myself, it would be great if I found you a good wife."
Li Cong said with a smile, Mr. Li really liked this bite.
"Don't talk nonsense, I think this daughter-in-law is very good. If you wrong her in the future, be careful of your own skin. By the way, I saw a lot of refugees from Jiangningcheng outside today. I will discuss this with my daughter-in-law.
, are you here to come forward and let us build a few porridge shacks or something to do good deeds and accumulate virtue? In the past, if there was any natural disaster, this big family would do it, but now I don’t think anyone in this city does this." Li
He has a bodhisattva heart, and he naturally thought of those people as soon as he settled down. In fact, in the past, wealthy families would always set up a porridge or something like that in front of their door. Giving a bowl of porridge to the poor seemed like a sign of their presence.
People who do good deeds. Is this true? That’s not the case. They really don’t think so. What they think is that if these hungry people really cause trouble, there will be nothing left in their homes.
They have to give these people a way to survive. Although they have taken out the food at home, the entire family business has been saved. If these people really starve to death, they will definitely riot, one by one.
At that time, the losses would have been huge.
Now there are at least hundreds of thousands of refugees in Ningcheng, Xinjiang, and there are millions of refugees outside the city. If the relief food from the imperial court really arrives here, these people will not starve to death in large tracts.
Now almost all the food from several southern provinces has been shipped here, but of what use it is. The army here eats so much food every day, who can help these people? Those who have the strength should join the army.
Okay, even though fighting monsters will cost you your life, you can't starve to death anyway. These people outside the city gate are all old, weak, sick and disabled. These people are going to the army.
No one wants it. What can these people do? They can only wait to starve to death. At the beginning, there were some wealthy families who wanted to make some porridge, but look at the number of people. At this time in previous years, the most was
There are tens of thousands of refugees, but now there are millions and tens of millions of refugees outside. With so many people, how much food can they get? In the past, it would have been pretty good if the rich and powerful families could provide tens of thousands of kilograms of food. Today,
This sight scared them away. Besides, they didn’t really want to be Bodhisattvas. There were so many troops stationed in this city. It was impossible for these refugees to come in even if they were rioting. Naturally, they didn’t even have that little bit.
I can't bear to take out the food. Now that the war is in chaos, the price of this food is about to rise. It's better to keep it in my warehouse and find an opportunity to sell it. This is the serious thing.
"This is okay. Although the current price of food is not very cheap, it is not bad. I don't know if there are any regulations on my mother's side so that I can do it according to your wishes." Li Cong agreed immediately, which made
Mrs. Li was very happy. What Li didn't say was that Cao Zheng had just passed away, which could be regarded as a good deed for Cao Zheng. She hoped that Cao Zheng could live a good life there. His son had the same Bodhisattva heart as himself.
How can such a thing not make a mother happy? She is afraid that her son will change after he gains power, but it seems to be good at the moment.
"Although these refugees in the city are living a very difficult life, I can see clearly that some of them can still eat. Although the hardship is a little bit harsh, they can still live a life. I can see that the real hardship is
Those are the people outside the city, shall we help them?" Mr. Li said with a questioning look on his face. Such a big thing has never been done by a woman like him before, and he didn't know at the moment.
What to do depends on what Li Cong means. As a woman, I still don't know a lot about things outside.
Li Cong thought for a moment, there are no porridge shacks outside the city now. If such a situation really occurs, I am afraid that the people outside the city will not be able to get there. This will require the security army to send some people to help him.
It’s okay, otherwise it wouldn’t be a good deed. If people outside the city fight for this reason, it would be a bad thing. “Mother, there are too many refugees outside the city. I’m afraid if we rashly
If we do something like this, there will be some chaos that we cannot control. How about this? I will ask Wu Liu to contact the security army first. I will go out to buy shoes and food in a while. We are now setting up one at the city gate.
If the people from the security army are willing to help, we will do it, how about it?" Li Cong thought for a while and said, this matter must be done, but it cannot be done too fast, otherwise it will not be good for anyone.
"Well, okay, I just thought too little. I didn't think of many things like this. Fortunately, you did." Li yawned. After being out for a long time, Li Cong asked Cui Xian'er to help Li go in to rest.
, I originally wanted to go to the medicinal materials market for a walk, but now it seems that I will go to the grain store first, call Wu Liu and the others and go out. It seems that it is not so dangerous outside recently.
Li Cong didn't know much about the outside world. Li Cong could only call his supervisors to discuss the matter. Wu Liu and Bai Er had both gone out to do some things recently. As for the outside situation,
These two people know each other to some extent. When they heard Li Cong say that he was going to open a porridge shack, everyone shook their heads. It’s not that we don’t have love. In fact, those people outside are no longer worthy of pity. They are now
It's like going crazy.
"What's going on outside? Why do you two look like this when I say this? Can it be hell outside?" Li Cong was also puzzled when he saw these two guys shaking their heads.
Unloving.
"Master, you have a good intention, but you have to look at who are the people in front of you. These refugees in the city are quite reasonable, but those outside the city, well, I have gone out these few times.
We have all seen the tragedies of cannibalism. Just don’t eat the people in your own family, but if you exchange the dead people in your own family with the dead people in other people’s families, what is the difference between eating the people in your own family? They
Everyone's eyes were red with hunger. These people can do anything now. A few days ago, thousands of people wanted to attack the military camp. The general who led the team killed hundreds of people before he could get rid of this.
The passion has been suppressed. Now they are looking at people who are leaving the city one by one. No matter what you do, even if they are escorting supplies from the army, they will never be lenient. Now I heard that those in the army are transporting supplies.
They are followed by a team of several thousand people. They haven’t eaten for several days. They can do anything. We are a living target when we go out at this time. I know you are very powerful, young master, but you can directly
Are you going to feed millions of people? Many people now like to rob homes and homes, and they don’t want to go back to the old days." Wu Liu thought for a while and said, people outside the city turned out to be honest and kind.
Common people, but now all of them are like hungry wolves. Now they dare to do things that they didn't dare to do before.
"I also know something about this matter. In fact, these things are not the fault of these people. They are all those damn corrupt officials. The government's relief food has already been received, but our place is the most powerful place in the disaster area.
, What do we have here now? Even if they starve to death tens of millions of people, they will never be lenient. All they think about is money in vain. These are what they want. As for the others
Yes, they won't think about it. These people are also poor people. Without these corrupt officials, they would not live like this. Contact the security army and we can give them a lot of food.
, just ask them to maintain law and order. I think the security forces must have learned the news that these refugees are going to riot recently. They also want to give food, but unfortunately they don’t have it. If we are willing to give it, it will be a good thing for them.
It's not a small help." Li Cong thought for a while and said, the reason why those people outside the city are like this is not because they want to be like this, it is all the fault of this era.
"Master, the security forces have begun to prepare. They have been prepared since the last time these people stormed the city gate. I will tell them how much food we have to give. Master, this is terrible.
It's definitely not a small amount." Bai Er thought about a time when President Qian of the security army talked to him and said that if there was enough food and wine, then people outside would not do anything wrong, and their security army would not use it.
Dead people.
"I haven't thought of this." Bai Er and Wu Liu almost fainted in one sentence. What happened to their young master? What they said just now made sense. The two of them thought that the young master was already prepared. They
The two of them just followed the young master's instructions and ran errands. Who knew that the young master wasn't ready yet? "I don't know the price of food outside now. Besides, this city wasn't that big before."
Yes, there can't be too much food, right?" Li Cong knew what the two brothers were thinking, and his face was a little hot. These things should have been planned in advance, but now he said this is true
It's a bit late.
"Food was not very expensive in the past. In our place, it cost about ten cents for one catty of rice, and one tael of silver for one hundred catties of rice. But now because of the Warcraft Mountains, the price is gone.
Now it costs fifty cents to buy a pound of rice, and one tael of silver only costs twenty pounds of rice. Although this city was not a big city before, it can still be regarded as an agricultural city. The food in this city
They are all in the hands of a few major grain merchants, and they may take action, but they can make more money in terms of price." At times like this, large households usually just have enough to feed themselves, and will never purchase them.
As for grains, the grains purchased at this time are slaughtered for others.
"It doesn't matter. Use 300,000 taels of silver to buy food. First open a porridge shed in the inner city. Then ask those who have eaten the porridge to go out and tell people outside the city that they can eat it as long as they don't act recklessly.
A full stomach, but each person is only provided with ten days of rations. If he has not found his own livelihood in ten days, this person is definitely a fool, and raising him is a waste of food." Li Cong thought for a while and said, there are millions of people in the city.
The common people themselves can't take care of everything. Three hundred thousand taels of silver is equivalent to six million jins of rice. Plus some other firewood expenses and so on, the one million taels of silver will probably go out. This is what can be done
The refugees in the city can eat a few meals, but as for those outside the city, he will definitely not do it without getting a reply from the security forces. Li Cong is very clear about how powerful the refugees are. Sometimes, they
But they are even more powerful than bandits. These people are not even recognized by their relatives.
"Master, I don't think this can be done in a short time. The biggest grain merchant in the city doesn't have that much grain. I think several of them have come together to do it. I will go out and talk to the bosses right away.
Go?" Wu Liu thought about the information he knew and said, the grain merchants in this city do not store grain, and they may not have much grain in their hands. They all need to scrape together. (To be continued.)
