Chapter 59 Grain and Wheat Harvest

Chapter 59                                                             �

Tang Shiying said: "There are millions of taels of money in Shaanxi, coordinating all parties, and issuing loans to various places. It can be said that the earthquake has killed or injured more than 300,000 yuan, but now there are no sequelae."

"In the following, there are three things to pay attention to. After these three things are done, the earthquake will pass."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Those three?"

Tang Shiying said: "First, it is the acceptance of projects for dates in various places. The adults are kind enough to allocate silver to raise workers. With these wages, many loans can be paid back. In the future, the possibility of people paying back their debts will be much smaller. These things must be done successfully."

Zhou Mengchen still understood this matter in his heart.

There is no silver in the countryside. What is borrowed is silver, and it is indeed a difficult thing to pay back the silver without money. However, when various places were building projects, Zhou Mengchen invested a lot of silver to increase the circulation of silver in Guanzhong. Not to mention depreciation or anything else. It is just that the people in Guanzhong had more opportunities to get money.

There were even immigrants. Under the establishment of Zhou Mengchen, the commercial atmosphere in Guanzhong was far inferior to that of Heshuo Province. After all, Heshuo Province was essentially upgraded from Datong Prefecture. Almost all officials remained in office, and with the trade with Mongolia, it was easier to make money in Heshuo than in Guanzhong.

But Zhou Mengchen didn't understand a little, and said, "Wait, do you think the people will be liable for their debts?"

Tang Shiying was stunned and said, "Sir, don't you think the people will not be able to lose money, do you?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "This is guaranteed by the government."

Tang Shiying said, "So what? Adults have never seen hob meat. As long as they are given money, they are willing to put a knife on their neck. If debt collection is a life-threatening person, is it a good thing for adults?"

Zhou Mengchen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "The poor mountains and bad waters are coming out of troublemakers."

Zhou Mengchen has never been a person who despises the people. At this moment, he has to admit this. Debt collection has caused death. Whether it is a stain on Zhou Mengchen's reputation or his heart.

And he really wanted to say that this thing would not happen. However, he thought with his own reason and found that it was very likely to happen. There were even a few cases that would inevitably happen.

Because in many places, life is not worth much.

Tang Shiying saw Zhou Mengchen's concern and said, "Master, please rest assured that Shanxi merchants have a way to borrow money. Even if something really happens, it is just that they are rich and unkind. It is not about the adult business."

"The two sides are good opponents."

Zhou Mengchen recently glanced slightly, showing a dismal almost crying smile, and said, "I hope so."

What bottom line can a businessman have? Zhou Mengchen can imagine that this almost forms a cycle. Many officials are proud of their appearance, which makes them dilemma. However, for businessmen with a little gangster nature, these difficulties are simply too easy to deal with. No matter what kind of businessman, it is really easy to grasp in front of officials.

A cycle of reincarnation is formed between the three.

Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "Stop it, as long as most of them are good, don't think about some small problems." After all, for most people, they will only make trouble when they have not paid back the money. If they have money to pay back the money, they will not not pay back the money. In addition, the people of Guanzhong have made so much project payment. They are also much richer, and I think they have money to pay back the money.

It is difficult to be perfect in the world. Zhou Mengchen felt that he could not blame him for seeking completeness. But Zhou Mengchen thought about it again and again that these things that he did not seek completeness were clearly life-long, so how could he not seek completeness, or just say that it was impossible to seek completeness and cover it up.

Only then did Zhou Mengchen realize that the problem of tram is not philosophy, but clearly reality. It is a multiple-choice question that Zhou Mengchen has to do at every moment.

Zhou Mengchen didn't think too much, and it was useless to think about it. He said, "What are the other two things?"

Tang Shiying said: "The other two things are one and two, two and one, that is, the problem of grain and wheat harvest. I estimate that last year, there was a lot of grain not rescued. In short, there was a big gap in grain in Guanzhong this year. In May this year, the grain will also be significantly reduced in grain production. I have seen that a lot of land seems to be the same, but in fact, the original land is already on the lower floor. In short, I don't know how much land there is to be eliminated. Although the adults transported more than one million stones of grain, in general, Shaanxi still needs grain, especially Gansu, Ningxia, Lanzhou, and other remote places. I don't know how much grain has adults prepared. This is the most critical point. Please don't forget that Shaanxi Province is not just about Zhong."

Zhou Mengchen said: "I have prepared this point. The Shanxi merchants transported a batch of grain from Jiangnan to Guanzhong for sale. However, I have never thought about transporting it to the west, and it will be arranged by you. Don't worry, there is enough grain in Guanzhong."

Tang Shiying said: "In this way, the officials will be relieved. I don't know when this food will come?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "May starts in Huainan, about June and July. No matter what the autumn harvest this year, it is enough for the people to spend the winter."

It seems that purchasing grain from Huainan and Huguang to selling it in Shaanxi is a profitable business. In fact, if it weren’t for selling Zhou Mengchen’s face, the Shanxi merchants were unwilling to do such things at all. The reason is very simple, that is, they made too little money.

Shanxi merchants have channels, and it is not difficult for them to transport grain, but they can calculate the travel expenses. Coupled with the price restricted by Zhou Mengchen, they can make a hard-earned money. If they invest this money in other fields to make money, they will make more money than selling grain to the northwest.

This is also the biggest dilemma in the northwest, because although the Silk Road has not been interrupted, due to the vast desert seas, the chaos in wars and other reasons, the transportation volume is very small. Although it is not neglected, it is not very large in scale and has no impact on the internal trading system of the Ming Dynasty.

Shaanxi is worse than Shanxi, and it is a poor place. The land route is far away. With the transportation system of this era, almost everything is lost, unless it can be sold at a high price, but there are no people in the northwest who can pay high prices. This also formed the continuous blood-sucking of the northwest in other places in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the grain self-sufficiency rate in the northwest was reduced to a very low level, which was simply insufficient, and it was even more necessary to get food from other places.

In short, economic development in the southeast is of no benefit to the northwest.

Tang Shiying said: "I feel relieved if sir said this. May is not a few days away. I will make arrangements now. If sir, I will say goodbye."

Zhou Mengchen stood up and saw him off. Tang Shiying left very simply.

It seems that because he has no desires and no desires, he treats Zhou Mengchen equally. Anyway, he is about to resign. What are you afraid of?

Zhou Mengchen watched Tang Shiying leave, and suddenly felt that one thing was that what he was dealing with here was almost done. In fact, when this batch of food came, the damage caused to people and society by the earthquake would be almost relieved. Although it could not be the same as before, it was still recovering slowly.

It is true that more than 800,000 deaths in history were still more than 800,000 recorded in the Ming Dynasty. It is hard to know how many people died in the true situation. Although Zhou Mengchen had done a lot of things, the number of deaths summed up in his hands still surprised Zhou Mengchen, with more than 300,000.

For everyone who has experienced this earthquake personally, this earthquake is unforgettable, but for society, the earthquake has slowly passed.

Zhou Mengchen has not been here for a long time. He actually likes to be in the local area and does not like to return to Beijing. Not to mention, the two armies in the capital are now facing each other and fighting fiercely. When he goes back at this time, he is simply looking for trouble.

But he knew that even if he delayed, he would not be able to delay for long, and he would have his second child. For a moment, he made up his mind that since that was the case, then speed up the work progress. Before leaving, finish everything. Don't act like a sluggish look.
