    ?Chen Yue poured a cup of turbid wine into his own cup and took a sip before spitting out ten words: "Grain and rice can make wine, and hungry people should work."

    Lu Da smiled and shook his head: "The hungry people don't even have enough to eat" He paused at this point, looked up at Chen Yue, frowned and said nothing.

    Chen Yue continued: "In the past, the most serious disaster in famine years was not grain and rice, but the shortage of grain and rice, which caused civil unrest, even plague and bandits. If a camp is set up outside the city, the locals will disperse it and place them there, and people will be trapped there."  With the upright system in the village, every hundred and ten people can be divided into one place and be well restrained, so that the people's hearts can be somewhat calm; the accumulation of filth can easily lead to diseases and pathogens entering the body, so people should clean it every day. Do not eat when the food is cold, and do not drink when the water is cold.  Those who are sick should be isolated in a separate camp, so that the disease can be relieved for a while; and if they are provided with laborers and provided with grain and rice, and the strength of the prime of life is exhausted, there will never be another big chaos."

    Xu Ke came back from his thoughts at this time, "Shangwen said work-for-relief? This method is quite similar to what Xiwen Gong thought before, but with the addition of the idea of ??setting up camps to clean up filth. I wonder if it will have some effect.  , we have discussed working-for-relief before, but in the end, money and food are still the problem.¡±

    At this time, official governance was usually integrated with the local gentry and elders. Whenever there was a major event, the local officials would invite people with high moral standing or wealthy family backgrounds to discuss. Xu Ke and Lu Da had a very good personal relationship with Fan Zhongyan, and they were both  Old people who returned home after serving in official positions had sufficient background and reputation, so they would naturally be brought to discuss matters.

    During the conversation, Fan Zhongyan revealed the idea of ??"relief through work". This matter may seem simple to later generations, but it was considered a remarkable initiative at the time. I don't know if it was inspired by Fu Bi's Qingzhou disaster relief militia.  After all, the old practice of disaster relief was to open the Changping warehouse to release grain, which caused a lot of trouble.  When Xu Ke, Lu Da and Chen Yue were talking before, no young man could come up with this idea. It was only now that they realized what they were doing.

    Chen Yue slapped his forehead depressedly. Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan also thought about the work-for-relief thing, but he still didn't get the limelight. Although he never doubted the intelligence and ability of the ancients, he usually has more than a thousand years of experience.  They would think more highly of themselves. As a result, the two most central ideas of "refugee camps" and "relief for work" have already been taken advantage of by others.  It made him feel a little distressed.

    "It turns out that Mr. Fan also had this intention, but I have made a fool of myself. As for the money and grain issue, it is easier to say. Hangzhou has always been an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if it has been consumed a lot over the years, there will always be a lot of grain and rice left. In fact, if it were not for the grain store to increase the price  , the people are rushing to buy food. We can always survive the present, and things will be much easier to handle when the food comes from Beijing."

    Wenfuji brews high-quality liquor and Xizilou is about to open, so he will naturally pay some attention to the grain and rice industry, but Chen Yue can only speculate based on the information he got, and quietly tested what he just said.

    Xu Ke did not hear the temptation in Chen Yue's words.  Based on the news he heard from his grandfather, he said: "Chen Xishan can tell you everything. If the grain store can open up to release grain, there will be no problem in Hangzhou City, and the remaining grain from Changpingcang will be used to provide relief to outsiders."  The hungry people can always hold on until the money and food for disaster relief comes from the DPRK."

    "But it's good to say now that when the weather warms up in a while, victims from nearby counties and counties will flock to Hangzhou. Can grain and rice merchants be that kind of cat that doesn't steal fish? I'm afraid they are already discussing hoarding." Lu  Da paused his chopsticks on the table.  He said with a frown.

    "Hoarding grain and rice means that there is grain and rice. It may not be difficult to open their pockets. In addition, if we call on the rich households in the city to send donations, the current matter will not be difficult."

    "It's easier said than done. We've already sent people to check before. Several major grain dealers have only thirty to forty thousand dan in stock. The current situation is not enough for half a month. Someone must have hidden the grain and rice. But we asked people to go there.  Closing their shop will not help. How can they let others find out? If they are not careful, it will increase the price of food in Hangzhou" Xu Ke sighed, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is it possible that Shang Wenyou has something to do with it?  Method?"

    "It's easy to distribute donations. It's just a matter of building momentum. In the huge city of Hangzhou, can't we find a few big guys who are willing to exchange money and food for fame? I think that jade plaque can be put to good use." Chen  It was not easy for him to finally turn the topic to the jade plaque, but he hesitated to say more about it to avoid making it too obvious. He picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "As for how to make the grain merchant spit out the rice by himself, it is a lot of trouble.  , but it¡¯s not impossible¡­¡±

    Chen Yue walked out of the restaurant in front of Fan Mansion. The workers at Xizilou who came to see off the jade tokens had dispersed. The area around Fan Zhongyan's house was quite deserted. On weekdays, except for the guests visiting Fan Mansion, the flow of people was not dense.  The restaurant we just came to probably does Fan's business. Most of the people who come to visit Fan Zhongyan can only hand in greeting cards in front of the door and learn from it. The west of Zhejiang is so long that they must want to come and try it.  A lucky person can also support the daily expenses of this restaurant.

    Walking out of the alley, then turning down a street, the hustle and bustle of the market suddenly becomes louder.However, when it came to my ears, the prosperity and prosperity of Hangzhou was currently shrouded in a haze. However, ordinary people did not notice it except complaining twice about the rise in food prices. Everything was as prosperous as before.

    Chen Yue sighed. He had just made some guesses before. After all, he was just a boy under twenty. Even if he came up with a few amazing poems, no one who knew the inside story would tell him the truth. After the conversation just now  , did not expect that the situation was more serious than he imagined.

    When passing by Wenfuji, Chen Yue called Luo Liang out and asked him to accompany him back to Chen's house.

    Although Luo Liang didn't know what the proprietor wanted from him, he saw a dignified look on Chen Yue's eyebrows instead of the usual calm and calm look. He also knew that he had something important to ask him for, so he followed behind.  Duoyan followed him all the way to Chen's yard.

    After returning to the room, Chen Yue asked Xian'er to call Chen Qi over.  He was going to use all the recent profits from Wenfu Ji to buy grain. Fan Zhongyan and others must have found someone to do this, but he did not let the outside world know it out of consideration for the public sentiment. He went out to buy grain now and waited for the grain to be shipped.  It will take at least a month before the famine really breaks out before the court allocates food. This batch of food can arrive earlier.

    With the profit from Wenfuji and the use of Xizilou as an offset, the total grain that can be purchased cannot exceed 10,000 shi. Also, after deducting the freight for carriages and horses on the road, the actual grain purchased is even less.  Compared with Hangzhou's population of one million, it is just a drop in the bucket. Of course, these grains and rice have other uses. He has to pry open the fingers of the grain merchants to solve the current problem.

    If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern.  Chen Yue does not have such a broad mind as taking responsibility for the world, but he is still willing to help people around him when they are in trouble. Moreover, this matter is not a loser deal for him.  Not to mention earning a good reputation among the upper echelons of Shilin after the success, the influence of Xizilou and Jade Pai can be said to be achieved almost overnight.  It saves a lot of time in building momentum, and even if the grain and rice are sold at a low price, there will still be a lot of profit in comparison.

    Luo Liang has been working under Chen Yue for two months. During this period, he has learned a lot and made great progress under Chen Yue's personal teaching. He is now the current shopkeeper of Zuo Wen Fu Ji.  He also had a little reputation through connections, but it was not enough for him to do this.

    Chen Yue himself doesn't want to come forward, so it would be best to let Chen Qi do it. Although he is far from mature in all aspects and is even worse than Luo Liang in dealing with things, he is a descendant of the Chen family in Fenghuang Lane, Hangzhou, bullshit.  Wearing tiger skin as a banner, with this natural advantage, it is much easier than Luo Liang to get things done.  Moreover, Chen Qi is also a 10% member of Wenfu Ji.  Let him participate and nothing else.  Coupled with Luo Liang's assistance, things will not be too ugly.

    After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Xian'er ran back alone again and said angrily: "I saw Brother Qi wandering around at home, and when I told him that the young master invited him over, he refused to go back to study.  Even if you invite me, you won¡¯t come.¡±

    Chen Yue patted his forehead.  Chen Qi was afraid that he would ask him to "take responsibility" again, since he paid back the three pieces of money.  It had been a long time since he had dared to come to his place, but this time he did have to take some responsibility.  Reluctantly, he stood up to find Chen Qi himself, then turned to Luo Liang and said, "Brother Luo and Xian'er are going to get a hundred coins, and come with me to find Brother Seven." Chen Yue had made arrangements at home when he was injured and had just woken up.  When Chen Yue asked Xian'er to serve him, he felt that the woman was attentive. Later, Chen Yue got used to it and did not arrange for the scholar to come over. Chen Yue also felt that it was unnecessary, but at this time, a woman would not have the strength to move heavy objects.  I still need Luo Liang to help.

    Chen Yue asked the two of them to get money and belongings, and he went to Chen Qi's courtyard alone first.  After staying outside the courtyard gate for a moment, seeing that there was no sound in the courtyard, he opened the courtyard door and walked in.

    ¡°The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Things have an end, and things have an end and a beginning.  If you know the order of things, you will be able to take the shortcut.  "

    As soon as he walked into the courtyard, the sound of reading could be heard in Chen Qi's room. Chen Yue shook his head and smiled. This cousin's acting skills were really bad. Not to mention the sudden sound of reading, even if he wanted to  Don't pick up "University" and read it the first time. It reminds him of the jokes on the screen every time his parents came over in his previous life.

    "Brother Qi, stop acting and come out soon." Chen Yue didn't bother to talk to him and pointed directly.

    "Ah, it's Brother Five who's here. I'm sorry." Chen Qi pretended to be surprised and leaned out of the window to take a look. Then he opened the door and walked out with a look of complaint on his face. "How can Brother Five say that I'm here?"  acting?"

    "There was no sound at all when I was outside, but I just started reading when I came in. Isn't it acting?" Chen Yue smiled and patted Chen Qi on the shoulder, "If it were me, I might as well just pretend to read."??, why do you want to read it out and do it when there is no three hundred taels of silver here?  "

    Chen Qi chuckled and said with a shy face: "Fifth brother is right." He didn't ask why Chen Yue came to see him, so he could take the initiative by letting the other party speak first.

    Seeing that he could hold his breath, Chen Yue coughed and said, "Brother Qi is a member of my winery. Do you still want him now?"

    Chen Qi's expression changed as soon as he heard this. He thought that this fifth brother was still going to trick him. He waved his hand decisively: "What did the fifth brother say? What are you going to do? I have the nerve to ask for some money from my brother."  Others? I don¡¯t want that 10%, I will just help fifth brother. If fifth brother becomes prosperous in the future, he will think of me. "

    "You really don't want it?"

    "I promise you a thousand pieces of gold. From now on, the wine shop has nothing to do with me. If I come back to trouble you in the future, I will call you grandpa!"
