What she didn't know was that the soldiers' money was also a form of private savings.

Xie Xiao laughed and pulled her up. "Alright, now I'll take you, my new housekeeper, to see how much secret money I have."

He actually took her through all the warehouses, and only then did Li Ruo truly understand what he had.

There were three huge, round granaries containing more than 30,000 shi (a unit of dry measure) of staple food, nearly 4 million jin (another unit of dry measure), including rice, flour, bean flour, millet, corn, etc., but no sweet potatoes or potatoes.

There are also various kinds of dried meat, dried tofu, dried cabbage, dried radish and other dried vegetables.

How did you manage to store so much food?

"Is it a lot?"

In fact, with the current population of 20,000 in Black Wind Village, if each person consumes half a jin of grain per day, that's 10,000 jin of grain per day. It would only last 400 days for 4 million people, not to mention the 1,000 horses and hundreds of pigs, cattle, and sheep.

"When you calculate it this way, it doesn't seem like much," Li Ruo said. "If they want to continue recruiting soldiers, there will still be a significant food shortage."

Xie Xiao nodded, "If the flood hadn't come so quickly, I could have saved more. Right now, we'll have to think of another way."

“My elder brother has 300,000 jin, and I still have 1 million jin in my mustard seed.”

One million catties is five hundred tons, which is actually not that much, but she can exchange it.

I used three million points on gasoline, a helmet, bulletproof vest, etc., and I still have ten million points left.

Thirty tons of rice cost 100,000 points. If you keep one million points in reserve, nine million points can be exchanged for 2,700 tons of rice.

It's only 5.4 million jin, which doesn't seem like much.

If we consider an army of 100,000, and each person needs to eat 1 jin of rice a day to be fed, that's 100,000 jin of rice a day, and 36 million jin a year!

Holy crap! I didn't realize how much it was until I calculated it.

Li Ruo suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis!

To get more points, we need to open up new sources and find ways to acquire some valuable items.

"One million catties!" Xie Xiao was also quite surprised. "You didn't trade it with your father, did you?"

She only woke up more than ten days before the flood, so it was impossible for her to have bought that much rice. He had to go to the south to buy it.
