Chapter 108 A big pit

Zhao Qian also handled the redemption matter almost as soon as possible. "Although the three thousand guan is less, you have not made less money on Niannu in recent years!"

Facing Zhao Feng's cold voice, the madam felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say a word. Instead, she had to pretend to be happy and said, "Too many! Too many!"

In fact, there are too many there! Cui Niannu, as the leader of Bianliang City, has to meet every week for twenty or thirty cents. After selling it, someone has already called for a high price of ten thousand cents!

This price is enough to buy a top-level mansion in Bianliang City, which is the size of the third-rank high-ranking officials living in. You can imagine how high the price is!

Now... the madam didn't dare to think about it anymore, and her heart was bleeding! She was afraid that she would be unable to help but give Zhao Jin a ruthlessness.

…………

Zhao Qian has been doing well here during this period, but as the saying goes, thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, Zhao Qian encountered a big problem in the days that followed!

Just now, Zhao Jin was thinking about how he treated Cui Niannu.

Song Renzong had sent people to summon Zhao Jin to the palace to meet the saint, and came to Wende Hall with familiarity. As soon as he entered the imperial study, he could see Prime Minister Zhang Shixun, Second Prime Minister Li Di, Deputy Prime Minister Wang Sui, Third Officer Envoy, and Deputy Privy Councillor Li Zi, and Wang Deyong, signed by the Privy Councillor. At present, these five people are the real power prime ministers in the court of Song Renzong. Although they were not as many as the nine prime ministers at the time of Liu E, from another aspect, the power they held was more concentrated.

"My brother, please see the emperor brother! I have met you all!" Zhao Qian bowed to everyone in the imperial study room.

Zhang Shixun, Li Di and others both stood up and bowed and bowed. However, their expressions were calm, and it was obvious that the love she had in the past had long disappeared.

I don’t know when it started, but my former close allies have become enemies today. It can even be said that they are the mortal enemies among the enemies.

Zhao Qian also felt keenly that the atmosphere in the imperial study room was something... wrong!

Sure enough, Song Renzong looked at Zhao Qian with a look awkward and a little guilty. "A Lang, are you doing well recently?"

Zhao Qian's thoughts moved and his heart moved. He sighed and said with gratitude: "Not good! I am worried that the four million people on the East Road of Jingdong are suffering, and they cannot sleep at night. Tea and food are tasteless! Today I am just trying to beg the emperor to quickly dispatch disaster relief food and troops to escort food!"

Song Renzong was even more disappointed when he heard this. Zhang Shixun and others snorted coldly in their hearts.

This kid seems to have discovered something! But even so, what?

The envoy of the Three Sessions Li Zi stood up at this time and smiled and said, "The prince has such a patriotic and loving heart to the people. It is indeed a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty. The luck of the four million people on the East Road of Jingdong! Just...ah!"

According to the development of the script, Zhao Chen should ask with concern, "What's going on?" What's going on? Sighing?

But who is Zhao Jin? When he saw Li Zi's expression, he knew that he had dug a hole and was waiting for him to jump down. Zhao Jin just didn't speak. He stared at a daze, as if he was at a loss.

Li Zi secretly scolded Xiao Xiangtou, would Zhao Jin be at a loss? This matter is still a bit credible in the past. Look at how many storms have caused by Zhao Jin over the past year. Such a person underestimated him and didn't know how he died.

Zhao Jin did not speak, Li Ji's thoughts were circulating, and Song Renzong felt guilty and embarrassed to say it. For a moment, the atmosphere in the imperial study room actually had a rare cold situation.

Li Di is more honest and honest, of course, just a little bit! He stood up to save the situation. "Prince! Actually, this is the case. Do you know that Li Yuanhao has a rebellious intention? This requires strengthening the border military. In addition, the Jianghuai disaster last year, the amount of money and food spent was unknown, and the court was really difficult to take out enough money and food for a while!"

Zhao Qian felt a little nervous, but there was no sign of his face. He asked in surprise: "How could this happen? What should the people on Jingdong East Road do?"

This time, the person who spoke was no longer Li Di, but Li Zi, the commander of the Three Sessions. He sighed and said, "We have no choice but to do this! Now the Three Sessions have given up all their money, but they have squeezed out 550,000 stones of grain, and there are only 150,000 coins!"

When Zhao Qian heard this, he frowned. Although Zhao Qian was young, his knowledge was not bad at all. Is 550,000 grain enough? If calculated, it would be barely enough. A stone in the Song Dynasty was roughly equivalent to 97 kilograms. If five people eat it, each person could get an average of 38.8 kilograms. In other words, this was enough to allocate 38.8 kilograms of grain to 2.75 million people.

But if there are no other nutritious dishes, a person will have to eat enough for about two pounds a day. However, in the event of a famine, what people need is not enough for food, but for life. Then dig up some wild vegetables and other things, the government came forward to persuade the big households to donate grain, the small amount of grain stored by the victims themselves, etc. The combined grain is barely enough for one person to survive for two months.

And how many people are affected by Jingdong East Road now? One hundred and two hundred and three hundred thousand people. When you see this, you must think that this matter is simple. With so much food, there is no problem at all!

In fact, this is not the case. First of all, it is lost on the road. It is already April, and June is the time when the grain in Jiangnan is ripe. It is impossible for the canal ships to set off for Jiangnan in June. They began to gather from all over the country to Jiangnan in May.

The short time shows that the canal ships can help Zhao Chen transport about 20 days of grain, and also include returning to him. The remaining Zhao Chen had to find people to transport it himself, and land transportation was the most consuming food.

As for a porter, it is enough to make people speechless. A porter carries a weight of 60 kilograms of grain. It is 2 kilograms a day and walks 60 miles a day. How hard is it? From Bianliang City to Qingzhou, you can take a land route of 1,000 miles! In theory, you have to walk sixteen days and sixteen days, rounding it to seventeen days, which will consume 34 kilograms. More than half of the food is gone before you reach your destination, and the food you need to return is not calculated.

Moreover, following the tone of Li Zi, the three commanders, the hiring porters, canal ships and other things, Zhao Chen solved the problem himself.

Zhao Qian didn't expect that these civil servants would even bring about the disasters on Jingdong East Road and would also create these many problems and ruin themselves. Damn it!
