"Food is not made out of thin air, I have to pay for it too"

Chu Yun smiled.

However, his words made Fu Qingyun's heart turn cold. She smiled bitterly.

It seemed that her expectations for Chu Yun were too high. In the face of such a grand situation, no matter how profound Chu Yun's cultivation base was and how powerful his combat strength was, there was nothing he could do about it. This was actually normal.

She paused for a moment and was about to speak.

Chu Yun slowly added, "But. . . In my place, whether you buy or sell. . . The price should not be more than double the usual price. . . How much does it cost to buy food per kilogram? Oh, one tael of silver for 30 kilos, right? No matter what, one tael of silver is enough to buy 15 kilos. "

“. . . ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Qingyun's expression suddenly became very strange.

Chu Yun looked at her and rubbed his chin. "This price. . . Is expensive?"

"No. . . "

Fu Qingyun let out a long breath and opened her eyes wide. She stared at Chu Yun and said, "This price is too low! How is it possible that there is such a low price?!"

A faint smile appeared on Chu Yun's face, but he did not reply.

However, he knew in his heart that there was no such low price in Daming Mansion now. However, the price of food was still stable in a few places outside of the prefectures. He only needed to go there to buy it and then use his Dimensional Pocket to make a profit. The cost of logistics could be ignored.

"Since you think it's cheap, then it's fine. "

Chu Yun said. He looked at Xu Binglei and Zhao Qianli and said, "Now, we need to formulate a perfect disaster relief plan to deal with this famine. "

Zhao Qianli scratched his head and said, "What other plans do we need for disaster relief? We have set up Porridge Providing Shack all over Cangnan Domain. If anyone is hungry, just send someone over to eat. "

"Of course not. "

Xu Binglei shook her head and said, "If they are not restricted, then. . . It is only the simple opening of good porridge. When the time comes, regardless of whether one is capable or not, This way, we will be able to help the real disaster victims. But those families with surplus money and those who can buy their own food. . . It will become a burden to us. In this way. . . No matter how much food we prepare, it will not be enough. We will lose everything. "

They came here to help with the disaster because they were unwilling to see famine wreak havoc. The corpses of the people were everywhere. They were not here to support the entire Cangnan Domain with their own strength.

"Currently, the Cangnan Domain can roughly categorize everyone into three levels. The first level is for those who are truly rich and powerful. The various disasters that happened before aren't worth mentioning to them. It's just that Little Feng and Little Yu have passed. We don't need to provide any help to these people.

The second tier is the middle-class families in each city. The flood has come and gone, causing some losses to them. However, they still have some assets. After the losses, they can continue living. . . Of course, the prerequisite is that the price of food is normal, so they don't have to sell their properties for food.

As for the third tier, they are the real disaster victims. They don't have any assets to begin with, and they barely manage to survive in the peaceful years. Now that the disaster has come, they don't even have the ability to eat a mouthful of food. For such people, we are the ones who are going to put in a lot of effort to save them. "

Xu Binglei's words analyzed the situation in Cangnan Domain. When she finished speaking, even the Region Lord Fu Qingyun couldn't help but look at her.

It was obvious that this young lady of the Minister of War didn't only know how to dance with knives and guns. She had a unique analysis of the current situation in the Cangnan Domain.

"Miss Xu is right. "

Chu Yun nodded and said, "My idea is to ignore the first group of people. They are rich and powerful. After the flood and other disasters are settled, they will be able to live a good life. We don't need to worry about them. As for the second group and the third group, what we need to do is different.

For the real disaster victims, we need to set up Porridge Providing Shack in different places. There's nothing much to say about this. Just like what Qian Li said, whoever gets hungry will have a bite.

However, in order to prevent those capable people from freeloading, we still need to deal with this kind of porridge. . . "

As he spoke, Chu Yun lightly knocked on the table.

Then, he saw Xiao Lee flying in from the garden outside the window. In her hand was a green grass with blue hair. After passing it to Chu Yun, she happily flew out and went to the garden to admire the flowers.

"This is bitter cold grass. It can be seen everywhere in Cangnan Domain. It has a certain value to be used in medicine. It can cure heat and detoxify poison, but. . . The taste is very bitter. You can try it. "

Chu Yun said and divided the leaves of the Bitter Cold Grass into several portions. He handed them to Zhao Qianli, Xu Binglei, and Fu Qingyun.

The three of them took the leaves and only took a whiff of it before smelling a bitter taste.

"I know this thing. . . "

Fu Qingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Twenty years ago. At that time, there was a famine in Cangnan Domain. The people did not have any food left in their homes, so they went to the surrounding mountains to dig up all kinds of weeds. There were even bark and grass, but this bitter cold grass. . . Although it could be eaten, it was almost the last one to be dug out. Because its taste is really too bitter. "

Zhao Qianli and Xu Binglei did not have any interest in tasting it. They just sniffed and asked, "Do you plan to put this thing in the good porridge?"

"Yes. "

Chu Yun nodded and said, "Turn the good porridge into bitter porridge. Although it is difficult to drink, it can fill one's stomach. It can also be guaranteed that other than the disaster victims who have nothing, no one else will come to eat for free. Of course. . . We do not need to make it too bitter. We just need to control the proportion. In short, it should be enough for people to swallow it. "

"Will this. . . Not be good. . . "

As the prince of Princess Qi Mansion, Zhao Qianli had been used to luxurious food and clothing for his entire life. He was very picky about food. Now that he had opened good porridge and made it into bitter porridge, he instinctively felt that this was not good.

Xu Binglei pondered for a moment and said, "This method is feasible. Although it is a little bitter, it will still save one's life after drinking it. In this special period of time, there is still porridge to drink. For those who are unable to eat, it is already a blessing. "

"Miss Xu is right. "

Fu Qingyun nodded and took a deep look at Chu Yun and said, "This is also a good method. It is worth promoting. The Porridge Providing Shack that the Imperial Court opened will also have bitter cold grass inside. Otherwise. . . As long as there is a choice, the disaster will not go to the Porridge Providing Shack of Buping House. "

Chu Yun smiled and said, "As for the ordinary civilians of the second tier, what we need to do is to maintain the price of food. In a normal, stable area, just do as I said before. One tael of silver can buy fifteen. . . No, twenty catties of food.

However, we need to set a restriction on the buyer. This point requires the full support of the Region Lords. We must use people as a unit to limit their purchasing power.

My plan is that everyone can buy two jin of food per day in Buping House at a normal price. If a family is a family of three, they can buy six jin of food per day. No matter how much they eat, it will be enough to eat.

As long as all the civilians in Cangnan Domain can buy enough food at normal prices every day, and if there is no shortage of food, then the price of food in Cangnan Domain will not be able to rise. As long as our supply continues to exceed the demand, there will be no room for the price of food to rise. "

When he said the first few words, Chu Yun's expression was relatively calm, but when he talked about the increase in the price of food, a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.

No matter what kind of world background it was, those vermin who were sucking blood on the paste of the people, those who earned money from disaster, were all the most hateful existences.

It was not an exaggeration to cut them into pieces.

And the most effective way to deal with these people was to maintain the price of food.

As long as the price of food could not be raised, those people would not have the chance to make money. Think about it, if they were to sell food at a high price of several dozen taels of silver per catty, while Chu Yun's side was selling food at a high price of ten taels of silver per catty, they would not have the chance to make money. If there was a difference of several hundred times, then the price would be one tael of silver per catty. Who would buy their food at such a high price?

"I completely agree with your plan, but there is only one thing that I cannot imagine how you can do it. . . "

Fu Qingyun slowly exhaled and said, "The people of Cangnan Domain can buy two kilograms of food every day. Even if there are still people who can buy food, there are less than one million left. They will be able to buy all the food we have in two to three days. What about three days later?"

"Give it to me in three days. "

Chu Yun said confidently, "From tomorrow onwards, there will be a large amount of food stored in the granary. When the famine is over, it will stop. "

"I really don't know where you got your confidence from. . . "

Fu Qingyun smiled bitterly.

. . .

That night.

According to the agreed time, Chu Yun used the Sun Mark to open the Space Gate and entered his Dimensional Pocket.2

On the other side, Yang Jian had been waiting in his Dimensional Pocket for a long time.

"Thank you for your hard work, disciple. "

Chu Yun looked at Yang Jian with a relieved smile on his face. He patted Yang Jian's hair and said, "Where have you been?"

"I just passed Lingyun Prefecture. "

Yang Jian said, "The price of the food there has increased. One tael of silver is only enough to buy five catties of food, and the amount is limited to each person. After I asked about the price of the food, I rode on Little White and set off again. "

Chu Yun nodded as expected when he heard this. He said, "This is very normal. Lingyun Prefecture and Daming Mansion are too close. Due to the famine here, it was normal for Lingyun Prefecture's food prices to rise. Go to a few more prefectures, as long as you are far enough from Daming Mansion. The price of food must be normal, because those who lack food will not be like us. If you travel thousands of miles to buy food, the cost of logistics will not be low anymore. "
