As soon as Du Mingwei said these words, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

Bolton narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "Du Mingwei, where are you singing with me?"

Du Mingwei looked puzzled and asked respectfully: "What does Your Highness specifically mean?"

Bolton sneered, showing no mercy: "You businessmen are unprofitable. You are everywhere where you can make money, and you are hiding everywhere where you are not. Now Danyu City is facing famine, why don't you hurry up and take the money with you?"

You went to another place to seek refuge, but you dispersed all your family property... Would you do such a good deed without any reward?"

Du Mingwei couldn't help but smile, leaned forward and said: "I'm afraid what your Highness the Prince said is biased. It is true that a businessman like me likes money, but money is something that cannot be brought to you during life or death. The true meaning of business is

The core is not making money for the sake of making money, but how to make good use of it after making money and give back to your hometown and compatriots."

"Now Danyu City is in trouble. As the richest man in Danyu City and the representative of a hundred noble families, I have great responsibilities with great power. I will contribute my own strength to this and give back the family property I earn to the compatriots around me. I don't think

This is something very difficult to understand.”

Burton is a very upright person. As long as he doesn't believe you beforehand, anything you say will be fart, especially the high-sounding and beautiful words.

It is said that no businessman can be a traitor. Du Mingwei can become the richest man in Danyu City, but Bolton doesn't think he is a good person.

Now that Du Mingwei said something like this, Bolton simply smiled briefly and said in a pretentious manner: "Okay, Mr. Du Mingwei is so responsible. It would be unreasonable if I didn't say anything. Well, let me give you a reward."

——”

Bolton reached out and poked the land deed on the table, and his tone became extremely cold: "The honor of being the first to sign will be awarded to you today. Come over and sign your name and transfer the ownership of the land you contracted in Danyu Plain.

."

Nobles, look at me and I look at you. The richest man, Du Mingwei, was treated like this. They thought they could not escape and could only hang their heads sadly.

Du Mingwei, on the other hand, walked to the table and picked up the quill without any hesitation.

However, he did not sign directly, but held the pen and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, as long as you give the order, I can sign this word at any time. But before signing, may I ask you a few questions?"

Regardless of whether Du Mingwei was a piece of shit, at least his attitude was polite. Bolton waved his hand and motioned for him to continue.

Du Mingwei nodded and said: "After we sign, all the farmland in Danyu Plain will be owned by the royal family. What do you plan to do with it?"

Bolton snorted: "You know what you are asking. The Royal City has issued an order a long time ago, requiring Danyu Plain to pull out wheat straw and plant blood essence grass instead, but you have not taken any action. Since you are not decent, then I can only help you.

Decent.”

Du Mingwei sighed and said in a faint voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince really misunderstood us. It's not that we were unwilling to cooperate with the Royal City. We had already started preparing to implement the administrative order as early as when the relief grain shipment arrived. But later you also knew that

There was a fire in the granary during the Dragon Fire Festival, and all the relief food and daily inventory were lost."

"Then I would like to ask Your Highness, there is a famine in the city now, and the food has been exhausted. Everyone is waiting for the mature wheat of this season to save their lives. If the wheat stalks that have not grown yet are pulled up at this time, what will everyone take?

Have a meal?"

Bolton: "The Guards did not come empty-handed this time. In order to raise food for you, my second brother stayed up for several days and nights. He was so exhausted that he collapsed. The food he raised can be used for your emergency."

Du Mingwei: "Excuse me, how much food did the Guards Corps bring in total?"

Burton: "360,000 tons."

Du Mingwei took a piece of white paper from the table, and while writing the formula, he said: "Let me do a calculation problem for Your Highness——"

"Now is the "winter" season, and cities all over the country are relying on the surplus grain from the autumn harvest. In recent years, the weather has been bad, and the harvest is inherently poor. It would be good for cities in various places to maintain their daily operations. There is no way to transport excess grain.

To Danyu City."

"That is to say, starting from now, next year's "Dettol" season will be sown in various places, and the "God's Blessing" season will be harvested in various places. Before that, it is difficult for Danyu City to get external support and can only rely on itself."

"According to the standards required for daily food and clothing, we calculate 1 kilogram of grain per person per day. There are 6 million people in Danyu City, which means 6 million kilograms of grain are needed every day, or 6,000 tons."

"This situation will continue until next year's "divine blessing" season, which is 8 months and 240 days. The total food required is 1.44 million tons - this is the minimum standard, not counting the needs of pregnant women and patients.

Special care groups.”

"Danyu City needs a total of 1.44 million tons of food to barely survive the famine, but His Highness the Prince only brought 360,000 tons of food, which is less than a fraction. If you calculate it like this, wouldn't three-quarters of the people in Danyu City be hungry?

die?"

Bolton obviously fell silent. After a while, he turned his face to the side and said expressionlessly: "You eat these 360,000 tons first, and we will ship them over later."

Du Mingwei said directly: "How to transport it? Where to transport it from? There is no place in the kingdom that is like spring all year round like the Danyu Plain. It can be cultivated all year round. It is impossible to produce new grain before the "God's Blessing" season next year."

"Furthermore, I learned from the Chamber of Commerce that the Far Eastern Dynasty has recently cut off all trade routes with Doguland and will not even export food to us."

"In other words, during these eight months, the kingdom has no source of food at all, and cities in various places can only consume their own food reserves. In this case, where will His Highness go to collect subsequent food? Search their homes? Put all the nobles in Danyu City in their homes

All the grain reserves were confiscated?"

Bolton's face twitched and his eyes were cold: "So what?"

Du Mingwei shook his head slightly and continued to write the formula on the paper: "It's still a calculation problem. According to the economic situation of the nobles in Danyu City, the average grain stored in each noble family can feed 1,000 people for 8 months."

"There are hundreds of noble families in Danyu City. If you confiscate all their homes and take away all the grain reserves, you will be able to feed an additional 100,000 people. For a total of 6 million, this is just a drop in the bucket."

Bolton stared at Du Mingwei coldly and asked in a deep voice: "Then what do you mean?"

"In this situation of no food left inside and no supply outside, there is only one place where we can fill such a huge food vacancy." Du Mingwei opened the map of Danyu City hanging on the wall and pointed to the vast wilderness outside the city.

Say four words, "Danyu Plain."

"Only the wheat that is about to mature in Danyu Plain can save the 6 million people in Danyu City." Du Mingwei faced Bolton, knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to the ground. His passionate shouts resounded throughout the conference room, "Your Highness, please use this method."

The people are the most important thing, give them hope of survival!"
