In the middle of July, good news came from Shandong and Hebei, saying that the highest yield per mu of the tested potato was more than 1000 Jin, and at least 700 Jin.
"If it is promoted, we will not have to worry about food any more," Meng said cheerfully
Yan Wushuang is not so optimistic: "Han Yuxi stipulated that the people in the northwest should only plant potato on the slope and the newly opened land, not on the good land." This year, the planting area of potato in Northwest China is very wide. It is estimated that there are more than 100000, but it does not account for half of the good farmland. It's interesting.
Meng Nian understood in an instant: "Lord, I will send someone to inquire." I'm afraid there are some shortcomings in planting this potato.
Before long, Meng Nian handed a superstition to Yan Wushuang: "Wang Ye, the spy from Jiangnan sent it back urgently."
"What did you say?"
"Our people found that someone had secretly purchased a large quantity of food. It was only found a few days ago that these grains were transported to the northwest through various channels. " Finish saying, Meng Nian's face is dignified: "Lord, this year is a big harvest in the northwest. Why do Yun Qing and Han Yuxi buy so much food?" This year, the Northwest has harvested hundreds of millions of Jin of potato, wheat and other grains, which are enough for the northwest people to eat until next year. So the couple's abnormal behavior made him uneasy.
Yan Wushuang color micro change, said: "there are rumors that Han Yuxi has the ability to predict.". Do you think she will know that there is a big natural disaster, so she will store a lot of food this year. " If he only hoards a hundred thousand stones, he will not find them. Obviously, they are buying far more than that.
"Wang Ye, if Han Yuxi really had the ability to predict, he would not have nearly died two times that day." Anyway, I don't believe that Han Yuxi has the ability to predict.
Yan Wushuang doesn't believe it, but he really thinks that Yuxi sometimes acts strangely: "whether it's true or not, she can't buy food in such a large quantity. Meng Nian, immediately send someone to invite Yu's master. " The governor of the south of the Yangtze River, Yu Baojia, had already taken the court's words to the ear. However, he is a brother of the clan with Yu Da, and also relies on the equivalent governor. It's more useful to let the elder master come forward to say this than to give him a direct order.
Knowing this, Yu wrote to Yu Baojia, asking him not to let the grain from Jiangnan flow to the northwest.
It was not long after the letter was sent out that the court received an official letter from the northwest. In the official letter, several old farmers said that there might be a big drought in the northwest next year, so they will plant a large area of high-yield potato this year.
Meng Nian said with some doubts: "Lord, just as we knew that she bought a lot of food, she said that there might be a drought in the northwest next year. Lord, do you think it's a coincidence? "
"Yan Wushuang said:" this kind of thing is better to believe that it has, not believe that it does not have
"Hans just said there might be a big drought in the northwest, not in other places," Meng said
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "if it's really a drought in the northwest, why send such an official letter to the imperial court in a big way?". Don't say any more. Go to buy food before the news spreads. The more, the better. " When the news came, the grain was afraid to soar.
Meng Nian said suspiciously, "Wang Ye, do you think Hans released this news just because of the rising food prices?" By Han's ingenious means, this possibility is not without.
"Yan matchless nods to say:" you say also have no possibility So if you want to buy food, you can't let the news out.
Think well, but the Treasury can't give out the money. Finally, Yan Wushuang took out the silver and asked Meng Nian to buy food.
The news of next year's drought soon leaked out. Some, like Yu Baojia, the governor of Jiangnan, scolded Yuxi and Yunqing for confusing people and causing social panic. Some people prefer to believe it or not, secretly hoarding food. But because this year is a harvest year, even if there is a rumor that the price of food is only 10% higher than usual.
Yu Chen knew that he was worried about this. He said to Yan Wushuang, "Lord, I'm sure Yuxi will not shoot for nothing. Lord, let's also store more food! " Once there is a big drought, it means there is no harvest and the people can't live. At that time, it will cause social shock.
"I also want to buy more food, but the Treasury has no money," Yan said
Yu Baojia did not believe that there would be a drought next year, but he also began to limit the outflow of food from the south of the Yangtze River. However, he agreed to sell Yan matchless 1.2 million stone grains at market price.
Hearing this, Yu Chen said without hesitation, "I have more than 100000 liang of silver on hand. Lord, take them to buy food! " Once in a bad year, money is dead.
Yan Wushuang shook her head and said, "this money is a drop in the bucket." Moreover, he would not use women's money.
Knowing that Yan Wushuang had bought so much food from his private house, many people thought he was too timid. Hans and Yunqing, clearly do not have the intention to frighten them. Unexpectedly, Yan Wushuang took it seriously.
For some ministers' private criticism, Yan Wushuang knew but didn't take it seriously.
After the grain purchase agreement was signed, Yan Wushuang asked his people to send the 1.2 million stone grain directly to Tongcheng. Even if there is a drought next year and there are 1.2 million grains, the soldiers in the border city will not be hungry.
For Yan Wushuang, no one can lose the soldiers in the border city. This is the same idea as Yunqing. This is also because both of them are generals, who know their hard work and hard work.
This year, the autumn harvest in Jiangnan also brought in a lot of food. So far, people are more and more sure that what Yunqing and Yuxi said about next year's drought is misleading. These people completely ignored the official letter that only said there might be a major drought in the northwest next year, not the national drought.
Meng Nian and Yan Wushuang said: "Lord, Han Yuxi and Yun Qing sent people to Jiangnan to buy food. Yu Baojia didn't stop him, but raised the price of food by 30%. But I didn't expect that Han Yuxi and Yunqing bought two million stone grains. "
This is still on the surface, secretly Yuxi let Tian Yang purchase a large number of grain to hide.
Yan Wushuang said with a calm face: "Hanshi is the most astute, and other people usually don't take advantage of her. She's willing to buy them at a price 30% higher. It seems that she's determined that there will be a drought in the northwest next year. "
Meng Nian was also worried, but when he heard this, he said, "Lord, the northwest is short of water. It's not surprising that there will be a big drought next year."
"I'm afraid of the drought, not just the northwest." If we want to spread to Shanxi, Hebei and other places, the imperial court will not be able to relieve the disaster, and there will be chaos everywhere. But he only thought about it in his heart and didn't say it.
Meng Nian hesitated and said, "Lord, otherwise we will buy another two million stone grain to store." If there is a drought, at least the stability of the capital must be ensured. With these grains, there will be no chaos in the capital.
Yan Wushuang said, "this time, you go to Jiangnan to find Baojia yourself." Save the others. This guy's a lion. He didn't want to be slaughtered by Baojia like Han Yuxi.
It's not too much that Baojia is only willing to sell them a million stone grain at the market price, and then buy it at the price sold to Yunqing. Meng Nian didn't have so much money on hand. He only bought a million stones.
It had snowed when the grain was shipped to Tianjin. Yan Wushuang thought about it and left the grain in Tianjin.
After the Spring Festival, Meng Nian and Yan Wushuang talked about this: "Lord, do you want to transport these grains back to the capital?"
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "don't move the grain." When there is a drought in the array, the grain will be transported in, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people and the army.
In April, it didn't rain not only in the northwest, but also in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and other places.
All over the country, those who ask the government for disaster relief fly to the capital like snowflakes. The Minister of the court, this just flustered.
Yan Wushuang wants to relieve the disaster, but the court has no money or food to take. So, he can only watch the fold everyday and write how many people died of starvation.
It hasn't rained for more than a month, and the seedlings have withered, and the land has cracked. Many ordinary people could not see it and began to flee. Some of them have gone to the south of the Yangtze River, and others have come to the capital.
Originally, the imperial court decided to go to Jiangnan to persuade yubaojia to provide food for the disaster relief. As a result, Jiangnan was flooded with rain for several days. This kind of situation lasted for more than half a month. Although it won't be unproductive, the production reduction is certain. In this case, how could Yu Baojia come up with food to relieve the disaster.
The flow of refugees generally flows to the outside of the capital, which brings great pressure and security risks to the capital.
Some of the ministers in the court knew that Yan Wushuang had hoarded a large number of grains, and they all asked him where he would give them to the victims. Unfortunately, Yan Wushuang mercilessly refused: "I have sent these grains to the border city. No one who is hungry can starve the soldiers who are bleeding in the border city. " Although Liaodong is not affected, due to the particularity of the region, even if it does not encounter natural disasters, the annual grain production is barely enough to eat by itself. So it's hard to get food out of Liaodong.
"Wang Ye, if the imperial court allows these refugees to be ignored, there will be trouble," said the Minister of the Ministry of official Once a man is hungry, he can do anything.
Yan Wushuang said, "what's your best way?"
"Master Xin, the Minister of rites, said," Lord, King Pingxi has stored a lot of food. We can borrow from him. " Last year's harvest in the northwest did not mention that they also purchased millions of grain from the south of the Yangtze River.
Yan Wushuang smiled: "do you think Yunqing will lend us food?" I don't need to ask about it. I know it's impossible.
"Don't try to know if they will borrow it?" said Mr. Xin Maybe it's good hearted and willing to lend them food!
Lord Geng, the Minister of the Ministry of the household, said, "let's have a try, Lord!" Although it is known that Pingxiwang and his wife have little chance of agreeing, there is no better way now. Don't say the court has no money, even if it has money, it can't buy food.
Seeing that many ministers agreed with the proposal, Yan Wushuang sent an official letter in the name of the court.
Yunqing and Yuxi quickly replied. They didn't say they didn't want to borrow food. They only said that the northwest suffered a severe drought. Now they have starved to death and died of thirst. In the official letter, the couple also expressed their hope that the court could help the people in the northwest.

Some of the ministers in the court knew that Yan Wushuang had hoarded a large number of grains, and they all asked him where he would give them to the victims. Unfortunately, Yan Wushuang mercilessly refused: "I have sent these grains to the border city. No one who is hungry can starve the soldiers who are bleeding in the border city. " Although Liaodong is not affected, due to the particularity of the region, even if it does not encounter natural disasters, the annual grain production is barely enough to eat by itself. So it's hard to get food out of Liaodong. "Wang Ye, if the imperial court allows these refugees to be ignored, there will be trouble," said the Minister of the Ministry of official Once a man is hungry, he can do anything. Yan Wushuang said, "what's your best way?" "Master Xin, the Minister of rites, said," Lord, King Pingxi has stored a lot of food. We can borrow from him. " Last year's harvest in the northwest did not mention that they also purchased millions of grain from the south of the Yangtze River. Yan Wushuang smiled: "do you think Yunqing will lend us food?" I don't need to ask about it. I know it's impossible. "Don't try to know if they will borrow it?" said Mr. Xin Maybe it's good hearted and willing to lend them food! Lord Geng, the Minister of the Ministry of the household, said, "let's have a try, Lord!" Although it is known that Pingxiwang and his wife have little chance of agreeing, there is no better way now. Don't say the court has no money, even if it has money, it can't buy food. Seeing that many ministers agreed with the proposal, Yan Wushuang sent an official letter in the name of the court. Yunqing and Yuxi quickly replied. They didn't say they didn't want to borrow food. They only said that the northwest suffered a severe drought. Now they have starved to death and died of thirst. In the official letter, the couple also expressed their hope that the court could help the people in the northwest.
