Chapter 118 What to do if there is not enough food?
of course.

Nonetheless.

However, Luoyang's geographical location.

But it makes.

He is currently in Da Qin.

It is still an extremely important place.

Here, a large amount of food is stored.

When Ying Changsheng came over.

The local official of Luoyang was introducing Chaoying Changsheng.

"Young Master Nineteen, the amount of grain in Luoyang's granary is sufficient to keep the dozens of counties and counties in the surrounding area not affected by the drought, and the people will not starve to death!"

At this moment, a Guanzhong Qin official, who is facing Ying Changsheng, is introducing the situation of the granary here.

As for Ying Changsheng, after hearing the words, he nodded and asked him again.

"If calculated according to the people nearby, how long will this food be enough?"

"About a month!"

officials said.

Ying Changsheng couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

"One month, do you dare to say that the people will not starve to death?"

Yeah, where does the drought only last for a month?

The most important thing is, it's only enough to eat for a month, how dare this guy say that he won't starve to death?
Who gave him the courage?

Seeing Ying Changsheng, he seemed angry.

The official quickly opened his mouth and explained to Ying Changsheng.

"Young Master Nineteen, there is only so much grain in this granary, and I have not been corrupted. What I said is true. What I meant just now is that the people will not starve to death for the time being. As for the future? Let the Guanzhong side, mediate The food is here, isn't that enough?"

"You think, it's pretty good!"

Ying Changsheng chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"With such a big food gap, where can there be so much food in Guanzhong? Think about it with your brain, okay?"

"If that's the case, then there won't be enough food!"

The official said with a frown.

On the side, Chen Ping, who came to Kanto with Ying Changsheng, at this moment, after looking through the files of the granary, frowned at Ying Changsheng who was on the side.

"Young Master Nineteen, the food is indeed sufficient and there is no shortage, but the food is not enough. We must find a way to get more food!"

"There is a lot of grain in the Kanto granary, which makes sense!"

At this time, Wang Jian who was on the side suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"Don't say it's Kanto, even in Guanzhong, there isn't much grain left!"

"Yes!"

The official sighed.

"There is not much food in storage. There are too many things in Daqin these years. There is only so much food in the field. The food that the court can save is only a little. If you use more, the family will naturally lose a lot. "

"Now, in my opinion, I can only find a way to transport food from various places!"

"There is a shortage of food in Guandong, but there is no shortage in other places?"

Ying Changsheng rolled his eyes and said.

I realized that the Kanto drought is not easy to solve.

After all, setting up waterwheels can solve the drought.

However, there is a problem of too little food storage.

But it is not easy to solve.

Instead of storing grain, just setting up a waterwheel is useless?

You know, waterwheels are at best drought-resistant.

So that in Kanto, the fields in some areas will not lose their harvest due to drought.

However, there are conditions for the use of waterwheels.

Not all places can use the water truck.

If nothing else, there are places where there are no rivers.

You are so meow, where can I find the waterwheel?
Just now, when Ying Changsheng entered the city, he saw the Yellow River outside the city.

Today's Yellow River water flow is not too large.

Waterwheels are a typical example of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Moreover, waterwheels are now being built.

It is also more difficult - the construction of waterwheels.

It takes time.

Regardless of Ying Changsheng and Ying Zheng Xianyang, it only took a few hours to successfully trial-produce a waterwheel.

However, the problem is.

In Xianyang City, the manpower and material resources of the entire Shaofu were concentrated.

The best craftsmen of Daqin were gathered to make it.

With them, what is made?
However, Kanto is different.

The craftsmen here are too scattered, scattered in every state and county. Not only those, but the level of craftsmen is probably not as good as that of Guandong.

Moreover, the vastness of the Kanto land.

How many waterwheels are needed?
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to completely solve the drought by building water trucks.

Ying Changsheng said it was here to solve the drought.

In fact, it is to find a way to relieve the victims so that the people in Kanto will not starve to death.

At least, let them have something to eat.

Give them food.

Let them not directly rebel because they have nothing to eat, as they did in history.

Just make it through this year.

In the spring of next year, sweet potatoes and potatoes will be arranged directly and planted in the ground.

After that day, there is nothing to think about.

And this year, while feeding them, they also took the opportunity to let them work locally, and let them build water trucks and build some water conservancy projects.

However, the idea is very beautiful, but now it is very skinny.

The food in the Kanto region simply cannot support Ying Changsheng to finish these tasks.

No wonder Ying Changsheng is having a headache right now.

At this moment, only Ying Changsheng frowned at Wang Jian, and Chen Ping asked.

"General Wang, Chen Ping, what can you two do?"

"Young Master Nineteen, I have a solution!"

Wang Jian opened his mouth and said.

Chen Ping on the side, after hearing the words, looked at Wang Jian, his face changed slightly, and he also thought of something, he said immediately.

"The minister also has a way!"

"What are you two doing?"

Ying Changsheng asked hastily.

At this time, Wang Jian and Chen Ping spoke in unison.

"Big family!"

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng came over instantly.

Big family!
Indeed, big business!
Big households are powerful in public opinion.

They do have food.

But at this time, Wang Jian talked about his own experience, he explained.

"Young Master Nineteenth, I besieged Daliang when Wei Guo was fighting. At that time, there were so many soldiers and horses under my command. There was not enough food. I needed to transport food from Guanzhong, but the cost was too high. I had to feed on the enemy. , ordered the big households in the localities to supply food, and all these tyrants obeyed, so that the military food problem at that time was solved, and this was able to surround Daliang for a long time, and finally, Wei Guo was destroyed!"

"General Wang Jian, what you said is very true. At that time, Chen Ping was in Huyu Township. At that time, Zhang Cang's family in the village paid a lot of stored grain!"

Chen Ping also opened his mouth to agree.

He has personally experienced this.

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng murmured after thinking for a moment.

"Since this is the case, then ask the tyrants for food!"

"Need food?"

After hearing these words, Chen Ping and Wang Jian frowned immediately, only to hear Wang Jian persuade.

"Isn't this a little bad? If we forcefully ask for food, what if they are dissatisfied..."
