Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 9 Ancestral Dragon, Daqin, Will There Be Famine?
The next morning, Qin Mu got up early again.

According to the agreement, the grain shops in Fangshi should have delivered the grain today.

Sure enough, not long after, Qin Mu saw a group of bullock carts appearing at the end of the street.

Horses in the Qin Dynasty were still extremely rare strategic materials.

Except for cavalry, almost no one can ride a horse.

Therefore, whether it is carrying people or carrying goods, bullock carts are used.

Even the rich and powerful used bullock carts to travel.

Even Prime Minister Li Si travels by ox cart every day.

The advantage of the bullock cart is that it has great strength, high load, and stable travel.

The disadvantage is that the speed is relatively slow.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to use ox carts for grain transportation.

But the downside is...slow.

Qin Mu waited for a quarter of an hour before the team of ox carts arrived at the door.

Feng Tong, the shopkeeper of Datong Grain Shop, jumped off the leading ox cart.

"Master Qin, I have delivered the food."

Qin Mu nodded, and stretched out his hand to let Feng Tong in: "Master Feng, please!"

Feng Tong didn't go in directly.

"Master Qin, I have to say it again, you will lose money if you buy this food."

"In the past two years, the price of food has really not gone up. It's useless even if you buy it and stock it up."

It turned out that yesterday Sifangling knew that Qin Mu bought a large amount of grain that was destined to lose money, and thought he was cheated by the cooperation of these grain shops.

So I went to find these grain store owners overnight.

If Divine Doctor Qin is deceived, the shop will be taken back and the assets will be confiscated.

Feng Tong glanced at the granary in Qin Mu's yard with a complicated expression.

"Master Qin, if you go back on your word now, I'll go back with the food right away."

Qin Mu shook his head resolutely.

"No, leave all the food for me!"

Just kidding, how much thought did he spend to buy these grains.

The granaries are all built, isn't it a joke to run out of food?
Besides, no one else knew, but he knew that famine was coming.

By then rice will be as expensive as gold!
However, he was still very grateful for the Sifang Order.

Not only did he give himself a shop as a medical center, but he also took care of himself everywhere.

Back then, shop No. 36 of A was a bit dilapidated, and Sifang Ling had to pay for repairs out of his own pocket.

It was Qin Mu who stopped him.

That shop is just a temporary residence, so there is no need to spend too much time on it.

Besides, seeing a doctor in that environment is especially like a genius doctor!

Datong Grain Shop sent a thousand shi of grain.

One stone made in the Qin Dynasty is equal to about 30 catties, and this thousand stones is [-] catties of grain!

A thousand stones is enough to fill a granary.

But now, Qin Mu's yard is full of granaries, leaving only aisles that can only be passed by one person.

There are more than 30 of these granaries, which can store millions of catties of grain!

In Qin Dynasty, the coolies who built the Great Wall were paid one stone a month.

The food in this yard is enough to feed more than 3 coolies for a month!

In times of famine, these grains can feed more people.

Of course, these are not things he should think about.

After all, Qin Mu is a brat who is only six years old!
By noon, all the food in Fangshi had been delivered.

The granary in the yard is only half full.

Tomorrow, there will be surplus food from the big landlords in the surrounding area.

With these grains, I should be able to survive this famine, right?

good!I patted my stomach, it's time to comfort the Wu Zang Temple.

"Qin Mu!"

It turned out that Zulong had arrived.

"Father? Why are you here?"

Zu Long hurried back to the palace yesterday, but forgot to ask Qin Mu where he lived.

But this is not a problem for Zulong.

Daqin Yingwei dispatched and found Qin Mu's address in half an hour.

Zu Long hurried over with Wang Jian.

For this newly recognized son, Zulong still likes it very much.

Thinking that I had abandoned my son for six years.

After recognizing each other, they have to hide their identities from their sons.

He felt a little guilty.

Therefore, Zu Long doubled the daily life note ten times.

It starts with him being fertile.

Finally came to a conclusion: Qin Mu should not be his child.

But this does not affect Zulong's liking for Qin Mu.

This six-year-old child not only has superb medical skills, but also often makes some surprising remarks.

Those words are a bit alarmist, but I can't hold my appetite!

Therefore, he decided to tolerate Qin Mu's arrogance for the time being.

If you call him dad, just call him dad, at worst, treat him like a godson.

It's just that when Zu Long stepped into Qin Mu's yard, he really couldn't believe his eyes.

"Mu'er, are these all granaries?"

"Of course, I built this granary overnight with my servants yesterday."

Qin Mu was slightly pleased.

"This……"

Zulong laughed.

"Why do you build so many granaries?"

He thought to himself, after all, he was a child, and his actions were immature.

Thinking about it made him feel a little guilty.

If I had been by Mu'er's side since childhood and taught him, how could it be like this...

No... I'm not his real father...

"Of course I have stored food, what else can I do?"

"Store food?"

This……

Zulong quickly approached the granary and lifted the lid of one of them.

full!

Look at the next one, it's still full!

Zu Long took a look at the granary in the yard.

Of the 34 granaries, fourteen of them are already full!

This granary has at least a thousand stones of grain in it!

These fourteen granaries alone are enough to feed three thousand elite soldiers.

What you can't eat can be exchanged for money, and these soldiers are armed to the teeth!

What is this kid going to do?
Rebellion?
Zu Long even wondered if the remnants of the six kingdoms had tampered with it?
"Mu'er, tell Dad honestly, what are these grains used for?"

After thinking about it, Qin Mu decided to tell the truth.

"Father, there's going to be a famine in Daqin. I'll save some food, so I'll be prepared."

Zu Long had a look of disbelief.

"It's just nonsense!"

"The weather in Daqin has been good for two consecutive years, and the grain harvest has been bumper."

"Now the country's grain reserves exceed tens of millions of stones, and gold and silver are countless."

"There are also ten stones of food in the homes of ordinary people in Xianyang."

"It's raining again this year."

"How could there be a famine?"

Qin Mu said seriously: "Really, father, you should also save some food, so as not to starve in time."

Seeing Qin Mu being so serious, Zu Long felt a little shaken in his heart.

It's just that a six-year-old can predict a famine?

This is really unbelievable.

As an emperor, he often pays attention to farming.

According to those doctors, if there is enough rain this year, there will be a good harvest.

Even the inferior Susukida can produce ten stones per mu.

There can be no famine at all.

As for Qin Mu's worries, it is probably because he was hungry when he was a child.

Once you have money, use it to buy food.

Yes, didn't I return the 50 taels of gold to him yesterday?
Well, definitely so.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Qin Mu didn't bother to argue.

"If you don't believe me, just wait a month and read again."

"By the way, dad, are you a senior court official?"

"It should be... No one in this court is older than me..."

"Tch... The First Emperor must be older than you..."

"Oh...that's right..."

"Then what, you are such a big official, you must have money..."

"Yes what's the matter?"

"There is not enough money to buy food..."
