As for buying grain at a high price of ten times, is it still expensive when the grain shortage breaks out and cannibalism?

Furthermore, when a merchant with a keen sense of smell transports a large amount of grain in, market leverage will also work. Meng Jiucheng is preparing to launch a competition mechanism in time to make the grain prices fall naturally. Another point is that you can use real money and silver to buy grain in the early stage, and in the future, you can also use northern goods to exchange it.

As for what kind of Beijing goods are, Meng Jiucheng already has a rough plan in his mind. However, it only takes time to research and manufacture.

After seeing off Zhu Ming and others, Meng Jiucheng was considered to have some leisure time. The so-called leisure time was just not working in a case.

According to Meng Jiucheng's requirements, the soft girl system left a few pure transparent crystals on the table and said, "It is actually not too high to buy grain ten times the price. When Mongolia attacked Jin, the grain channels were cut off, and the price of grain in Zhongdu rose. Three kilograms of silver could not buy three liters of rice!"

"Purchasing grain in gold and silver is a kind of thing. It is more cost-effective to exchange treasures for grain, and you may be able to make a profit!" Meng Jiucheng held up the crystal and observed its transparency in the sunlight.

Using crystal grinding lenses to make telescopes is not something that can be used on a large scale. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng felt that it was unnecessary to keep confidential, and using it to exchange for a thousand gold is worth the money.

"Soap, glass, perfume..." The soft girl listed a batch of items and smiled and said, "Aren't these things that time travelers can make a lot of money, and they can also be made in large quantities. Do you have to use any telescope?"

"It's easy to say, but it's not easy to make." Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "Time is the most precious now. If you stabilize in the future, you will naturally have the energy to do scientific research likewise!"

"How long will it take in the future? In a few months, the two defeated soldiers of the Red Coat Army will come one after another. What should you do? Are you ready?" The soft girl seemed to remind her, but also asked the question as if she was a test.

Meng Jiucheng actually didn't think about it, and only planned to expand his strength and arrange it according to actual conditions. After all, history is history, and the records of characters are not completely accurate, and it is also mixed with the personal feelings of the bookmaker.

For example, Yang Miaozhen, some historical books say that he is deceitful and fierce, and has obvious derogatory meaning. But imagine that in an era of turbulent times and frequent wars, how can he inherit his brother's ambition and gain the support of his old subordinates?

There is also Li Quan, a historical book evaluated his transformation from a general of the peasant uprising army to an ambitious man who expanded his personal power. Later, he publicly opposed the Song Dynasty and called him a rebel. However, the reason for the matter was very tortuous. Li Quan had the determination to "be rather a ghost in the Jianghuai River than a man from the Jin Dynasty." Later, he was trapped in Qingzhou by the Mongolian army and fought hundreds of battles. He insisted on having more than a year to surrender to Mongolia.

However, when the Southern Song Dynasty court heard that he was trapped, he did not want to rescue him, but planned to kill his brother and concubines in Chuzhou, kill all his subordinates in Chuzhou.

Meng Jiucheng started from the thinking of later generations and felt a little sympathetic to Li Quan's rebellion against Song. If he had experienced this, could he give up?

Is rebellious against the Song Dynasty equivalent to treason? Can the small Southern Song Dynasty court, which is in a corner and does not want to be enterprising, represent the country? Isn’t the incompetence and decay of the Zhao family’s children? Can the people of the Song Dynasty fall into the hands of barbarians and suffer from poisoning?

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng thought a lot about the problem with the soft girl system, but he could not give a clear answer for the time being.

"Although I don't want to be enemies with them, I will do things that make my relatives feel happy." Meng Jiucheng said in a pondering voice: "But if the troops they led were robbers who robbed their families, I would not be polite to them. When I reach my territory, I have to abide by my rules."

"They won't be your opponent in the head-on conflict." Ruanmei said with certainty: "If one of them can be merged, your strength will be stronger. I know that you don't like to join. But sometimes, temporarily closing it for me is also a flexible strategy."

Meng Jiucheng thought for a while and said, "I can accept some people's enlistment, but I will not tolerate others. Even if the Red Turban Army fails in the end, the principle issue will not be changed."

"Red Turban Army, hehe, are you superstitious or have to plagiarize?" Ruan Mei asked with a sneer.

When talking about this question, Meng Jiucheng couldn't help but smile.

From a broad perspective, Chinese dynasties have had a virtue since the Han Dynasty. From the previous dynasty to the next dynasty, they all follow the order of the five elements, you overcome me, and I overcome you again. This is both a psychological effect and can also demonstrate the legitimacy of replacing it.

From the small aspect of the Red Coat Army, the Jin Kingdom is metal, and if you want to overcome gold, you can only use fire. The color of fire is red. Wearing a short red coat to fight against the Jin soldiers has both psychological effects and determination to resist the enemy!

"When I was called the Red Clothing Army during the rebellion, I always have some similarities!" Meng Jiucheng replied with a smile: "The red Clothing is too scattered, and the red scarf is more suitable. In fact, I have thought about wearing a red sleeve hoop. If I just want to call the Red Clothing Army, it lacks domineeringness and mightyness, which is like - hehe."

"Riding a horse and leaning against the slanting bridge, the red sleeves of the building were all over the building." The soft girl smiled happily, "It is both heroic and elegant, and it won the fall of the women in the building. I think you should like it more."

"Haha, those who know me are soft girls." Meng Jiucheng also laughed, "I wish to wake up and hold the power of the world and lie drunk on the beautiful knees."

…………………

It was almost noon and the construction site outside the town was still working.

Zheng Ruxin and Madam Ming came to the site of the Women's Engineering Team. They were still far away and saw dust flying, but it was noisy and chaotic.

It turned out that Meng Jiucheng had formulated a settlement method based on project volume, and among the refugees, there were strong men taking the lead, leading a team to contract projects, and doing a good job.

Zheng Ruxin and Ming Niangzi think that women can do the same, and they naturally do not do as much as men. However, speaking with engineering volume is fair and reasonable, which can also make women profit from household income.

So, after they discussed it, they posted a notice, attracting more than a hundred women. After registration and selection, two engineering teams were established and the foreman was appointed.

But the actual situation is obviously not as simple as they think, and it feels chaotic when you look at the scene.

At this time, as the designated foreman, Mrs. Zhang, was shouting, her mouth was dry and her lips were hoarse. When she saw Zheng and Ming coming over, she hurriedly ran over and arrived in front of the two of them. She couldn't speak for a while, and looked at her helpless. She blinked her eyes hard, holding her tears and not falling down.

Zheng Ruxin was in a bad mood, but when she looked at the chaos, she wanted to get angry. But when she saw that Mrs. Zhang's face was covered in dust and was washed away by sweat, she also showed a grievance. She was so angry and ridiculous that she snorted heavily, but she didn't know what to say about her.

Seeing that Zheng Ruxin was unhappy, Madam Zhang became more aggrieved and uneasy. She lowered her head and grunted and couldn't speak.
