As for why, Shen Qingci likes to collect food so much now, it is just because she has always been taking precautions, in case a war breaks out and the army has no food. Even if there is money, it will not be able to buy food. thing.

She was afraid of starving. She had eaten grass herself, and she didn't want her father to eat grass too.

So she has always been in the camp, just to prepare for the war, even if she is in the camp year after year, it doesn't matter.

Lao Henglu said that the world is like this. There is no absolute peace and prosperity. If you want peace, other countries may not have ambitions, so wars of this size will always happen.

It is peaceful now, and nothing happens now, but if a war breaks out, food and grass will bear the brunt. When the time comes, her dozens of Yipinxiang families will be able to provide food, which will be enough to feed the army for a long time. In a short period of time, A large amount of food and grass can also be mobilized, and coupled with what the court has prepared, it is enough to ensure that the army will not go hungry.

And these grains are not useless. The old grains every year can help the poor. It can be regarded as a good thing Yipinxiang has done for the people after making so much money.

Now it is about to be the time for the replacement of old and new grains. In some places, grains are harvested early, so the new grains have already been put into storage and the old grains have not yet been disbursed.

Bai Mei thought for a while, "Madam, our grain has always been harvested early, and the weather this year is good, so the prince asked us to harvest the new grain earlier. It should be finished by now."

"Really? Harvested early?"

Shen Qingci stood up and walked to the window to stand.

"If the rain lasts longer this time, there will be more places with food shortages."

And Bai Mei couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Madam is saying..."

There may be a year of food shortage, and there have been no food shortages in the Zhou Dynasty for many years. In the past few years, the weather has been good, and even the floods have been cured. Now it is rare in places. Floods occurred, so the people's food reserves were enough. Of course, there were fewer people who were prepared for danger in times of peace. Many people began to sell food to save money. She knew about this matter, and Daxiang had always said it. They are all complaining about this, saying that the people in their village have sold their grain, and use the money from selling grain to buy other things, and then use the money to build big houses.

It is also complete, there is no longer the food shortage in the past.

"Go and tell me not to sell the old grain first."

Shen Qingci calculated the time. The new grain will be put into storage and will be processed after one month. So now she has some new grain and some old grain in her hands. She hopes that the old grain has not been sold. Even if it is that grain, she will not take any penny. I donated the food, and I didn’t want the food to eventually become a means of profit for some people.

"yes."

Bai Mei knew about it, and she quickly came out, thinking about how to inform the people in the shop.
