Pieces of crystal clear, smooth, and watery jade are neatly stacked in boxes.
Qian Xiaolan touched them one by one and couldn't let go.
“Dayan is rich in jade, but in the face of the three-year famine, jade, which cannot fill one’s stomach, has depreciated severely. Even when it is taken to other countries to exchange for food, the price is severely depressed.
Later, they even refused to exchange them. Last month, someone secretly took a large box of jade to exchange for grain, but only got a bag of grain in return.”
Qian Xiaolan nodded in understanding. This was normal, just like the era she was living in now. Not only could a box of antique jade not be exchanged for a bag of grain, it could also result in the loss of one's life.
After putting the medicine and water on the shelves, Qian Xiaolan put two large pieces of jade on the shelves for Wenxuan, and left a message asking him to continue purchasing large quantities of food and medicine.
After that, I left the space and returned to the room to continue sleeping.
**
Great Yan Dynasty.
Xiao Jue used two boxes of stuff to exchange for food, water and medicine for an entire space and ten basements. Thinking that he could feed the people, he felt relieved.
I had a rare good sleep at night.
The next morning, he went to court with a happy face and said to the civil and military officials who all had sad faces:
"Last night, Taizu appeared in my dream and learned that the people were suffering from the disaster. He felt sorry for them and begged God for mercy.
The heavens, mindful of the diligence and love for the people of our Great Yan emperors, have bestowed blessings upon us to help our people survive the years of disaster."
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
Everyone looked at each other, no one said a word.
At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: their emperor had been driven crazy by the disaster!
Xiao Jue took in everyone's expressions, smiled, leaned forward, and said nonchalantly: "Why? My dear ministers, don't you believe what I say?"
"Well, I'll take you to have a look!"
After saying this, he stood up, put one hand behind his back, and led the ministers to the imperial study.
Last night he stayed in a side hall of the imperial study. There were many secret rooms under the side hall, which were originally unknown to anyone except the successive emperors.
Now, in order to keep his secret, he has no choice but to reveal the secret of the basement.
When he arrived at the side hall, Xiao Jue stopped and turned around to see that all the civil and military officials looked nervous. He smiled and said loudly:
"My dear ministers, please open your eyes and watch carefully.
The blessing that Taizu prayed for us from heaven is in the basement."
After he finished speaking, he called two eunuchs, opened the door of the side hall, and went down to the secret room with a team of guards.
The ministers were in a tense mood, not daring to believe it, yet wanting to believe it very much.
Xiao Jue came out carrying a bag of food with a smile on his face.
Behind him was a long line of grinning guards carrying buckets of water and food.
Xiao Jue placed the rice bag in front of the civil and military officials, opened the bag, and took a handful of rice to show everyone:
"The rooms below are filled with rice, flour, coarse grains, water, and various medicines."
The white rice looked like cool and delicious water, which made all the ministers so excited that their faces turned red.
At this moment, they no longer cared about the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects, and they all stepped forward to grab a handful of rice and put two grains into their mouths.
"Smells good! It smells so good! It's really rice!"
“This rice is more delicious than the rice we grow ourselves!”
"This is really the manifestation of our ancestors. These water containers are unprecedented!"
"And what do the words on these medicine packages mean?"
When Xiao Jue heard this, his expression paused, and then he said as if nothing had happened:
"Put the medicine aside for now. When I have time to take a nap, I will ask Taizu how to take these medicines."
Seeing that the Imperial Guards were still moving food out, the civil and military officials no longer had any doubts about Xiao Jue's words.
"Long live the emperor!"
"Thank you Taizu for appearing! Thank you God for your mercy! Thank you God for the gift!"
…
The court officials knelt on the ground, kowtowed and worshipped towards the heaven.
Even cried with joy.
Xiao Jue used the rumor that Taizu had told him in his dream to easily determine the origin of these materials that appeared out of nowhere.
Then he felt a little melancholy. The population of the Great Yan Dynasty was over 90 million, and most of them were in the disaster-stricken areas. These supplies were far from enough.
It seems I need to open the warehouse and find more things to trade.
I wonder if this trading mall can provide so much food?
Qian Xiaolan woke up from a sound sleep and it was already noon.
Except for grandpa, everyone else at home has gone to work.
She glanced around and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, where is Yan Qing?"
Rong Changhua sat on the sofa, holding a teacup in his hand, and took a sip of tea slowly before answering: "Your grandfather took him there to broaden his horizons."
Qian Xiaolan said "Oh" and leaned on the sofa like a boneless person.
Rong Changhua looked at her with amusement: "Are you still asleep?
Go eat something to fill your stomach first, and grandpa will take you somewhere later."
Qian Xiaolan then perked up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
After she drank the porridge warm in the pot, Rong Changhua took her to Mr. Qian's room first.
"Your grandfather asked you to put some things into the space, and there are some in your parents' room as well."
When Qian Xiaolan heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She didn't let her grandfather move the cabinet either. She directly turned on the space detection function, locked the range of the entire house, and quickly found five places to hide things.
Qian Xiaolan approached each place one by one and put them all into the space.
To be honest, the Qian family doesn't have much money.
Of these five places, three contained my father's information, and one contained my grandfather's private money, a savings book with 2,000 yuan and two large yellow croakers.
There is another place where her mother hides her money, which has a little more than her grandfather's.
A savings book with 100,000 yuan and a box of various precious jewelry.
etc.
"One hundred thousand! Grandpa, how can mom have so much money?"
Qian Xiaolan's big eyes were full of confusion.
Rong Changhua patted her head with amusement, "Isn't it just 100,000 yuan?
Have you forgotten that your grandfather used to be a big capitalist?"
Seeing that Qian Xiaolan hadn't reacted yet, the old man tapped her forehead again and said with a smile:
"Idiot! This passbook is the dividend the state gave to grandpa after the public-private partnership."
Qian Xiaolan suddenly realized: "Oh, it's this money! But Grandpa, can you please stop hitting me on the head?
I am not smart to begin with, and I will become even dumber if I am beaten again."
Rong Changhua shook his head and smiled, then pulled her out.
Qian Xiaolan was taken on four buses, made a big circle, and returned to the vicinity of the second bus boarding point.
She already had some guesses in her mind and was very excited, but in order not to attract attention, she tried her best to control her emotions.
Finally, after walking for another fifteen minutes, the old man brought her to the gate of a large compound.
