Chapter 1421: In front of Coco, these are not things
The world of the late Ming dynasty, which was numbered '04' by Cocoa, was within the scope of China on this timeline, and it happened to be in the Little Ice Age. Grain production was declining year after year, or even no grains were harvested, plus years of war and chaos. For the Chinese people at that time, life is really miserable.
However, the people who are currently under the sphere of influence of cocoa suddenly discovered that even if they had money, they could not buy food, and suddenly they had all of them bought overnight. This really makes people feel weird.
You know, now that Nanjing has a separate imperial court, the capital cannot count on food from the south at all.
And the west is in the sphere of influence of the Dashun Army, so there is no need to think about it.
And over the years, after Jin has invaded frequently, the land between Beijing and Shanhaiguan has basically been abandoned, so there is no food at all.
Originally, when Da Junshun had not yet breached the capital, the capital could still count on food shipped from all over the south to ease the needs of the people in Beijing.
However, after the Dashun Army broke through the capital and forced Emperor Chongzhen to death, he could no longer count on it.
In this regard, anyone who is not a negative IQ can basically be certain.
Now that Da Junshun has withdrawn from the capital, the new owner has changed to a force known as the "True Destiny Girl Army", and a female doll has become the emperor.
As the saying goes, the death of the country must be evil.
No, just look at who are now on the stage of history.
Of course, for Xiaomin Shengdou, whether it is a girl or a British lord, the most important thing for them is to be able to get food and not go hungry. This is the most important thing.
But because of the above-mentioned reasons, there is no grain of food in the capital. Even the homes of the Ming Dynasty officials who did not escape from the capital are still facing such a situation that they cannot be solved.
Many pessimists believe that if this situation continues, it will not be long before there will be cannibalism, and this is not too surprising.
This tragic situation has already occurred in Henan, Ningxia, Xi'an and other places at this time.
It's just that the people who are about to turn to the capital now have to face this kind of thing.
Therefore, for a time, the sky over the capital is always filled with a very sad cloud, and people are also enveloped by an atmosphere of despair.
Most people think that things are developing like this.
But suddenly, a large number of food shops popped up on the street, and there were enough food shops in these food shops to sell, and the prices were incredibly cheap and there were many types.
Such a change really made the desperate people in Beijing couldn't believe it.
But in any case, it is always a good thing to have food to buy, especially since the food is still cheap.
Therefore, after a brief period of shock and incomprehension, the people who recovered rushed to the grain shops and took out all their own money to buy food as much as possible, for fear that they would be late. Can't buy it.
Therefore, for a period of time, on the streets where the street food shops in Beijing are located, there will always be a long queue of people, and there will even be fights for queuing.
Fortunately, Andrew had foreseen such a problem and made arrangements. A large number of soldiers were placed in the area where the food shop was located to maintain order. Therefore, the fighting problem only occurred at the beginning, and it never happened again. .
With the passage of time, people suddenly discovered that the situation that they were worried about selling out of grain in the grain shop has never happened.
In this way, after three or four days of frantic purchases passed, everything gradually returned to normal.
With food at home, the atmosphere of depression and despair in the capital disappeared, and the hearts of the people quickly stabilized.
Needless to say, there are so many grain shops and so many grains all of a sudden, this must have nothing to do with Cocoa.
Speaking of which, Coco would also like to thank Li Zicheng, who has been killed.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that this product killed a large number of the original Ming Dynasty officials during its occupation of the capital, and no one could encourage the people in the capital to add chaos to Cocoa, the little guy wanted to control the capital so easily, it would really not be so easy. Up.
Especially those officials who closed their homes were killed by Li Zicheng, and the properties and shops they left behind were all cheaper than Coco, who controlled the capital.
Therefore, Coco, who has a large number of mansions and shops, opened hundreds of grain shops in the capital at one go, and sold cheap grain through these grain shops to stabilize people's hearts.
You know, these years, all those who can open grain shops on the boundary of the capital, are behind the central government's participation in the shares, or find someone to come forward to preside.
After those guys were killed by Li Zicheng, Jincheng's grain shop was bound to be closed.
So, to some extent, Coco really has to thank Li Zicheng.
Because it was Li Zicheng who helped Coco to wipe out the "pests" in the capital, he also left Cocoa a lot of "fortune", allowing the little guy to become a "big landlord" out of thin air as soon as he took possession of the capital, and he was able to easily without a reputation. Take those'wealth' in your hands.
Of course, Coco, who has mastered these mansions and shops, has really done a good thing for the people in Beijing, that is, selling food at a low price.
And among the hundreds of grain shops set up by Cocoa, they sell many types of food, except for rice and noodles, such as soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, and sorghum, but they sell everything they eat.
Even in the grain shop, cocoa has opened up a vegetable sales area across the ages. In this season of winter, all kinds of vegetables are sold at very low prices...
Therefore, at this time when many places in China did not pick up and even starved to death in large numbers, the people in Beijing did not starve to death for the first time.
The reason for this is mainly because the food sold in the grain shops opened by Cocoa is too cheap.
In addition, Coco has also set up many free porridge sheds inside and outside the capital, three times a day for refugees who fled to the capital from the northwest and Henan.
And this move has also won a lot of people's hearts for it.
Of course, in Coco's view, doing this is just doing it casually, and it's nothing at all.
After all, she wants to get food, which is simply not too easy.
Going to the mystery store, you can buy tens of thousands of tons of grain with one point of faith, and it is still Thai fragrant rice.
Food stuff is staggeringly cheap in the mystery store.
And now she has mastered the cocoa of the world of three faith sources, and can earn hundreds of thousands of faith points every day, and she has taken out a few or even a dozen faith points to buy food from the secret store, which is nothing to her.
Besides, the little guy didn't want to starve to death in the territory he controlled.
Because it would seem incompetent for her.
In any case, she is now the emperor.
Although the little guy didn't know exactly what the emperor was going to do, at least she knew very well that it was something to pay attention to to let the people under her control eat their belly.
Therefore, with the opening of the capital to sell food, and the establishment of the porridge shed, the turbulent hearts of the capital quickly stabilized.
Even the people think that it is not a bad thing to have a female doll as the emperor.
After all, it is precisely because of the relationship between the female doll emperor, everyone does not have to worry about being hungry now, right?
In fact, the common people are very realistic.
They don't care who the emperor is. What they care most is whether they will be hungry.
And those literati who care about this, as well as the former Ming Dynasty officials who didn't have time to escape from the capital, after being killed by a large number of Li Zicheng, the remaining guys are no longer enough to be afraid.
In a word, these guys who are still in the capital can't make any big waves at all.
Not to mention, these guys are still being secretly monitored by Andrews.
Whenever the monitor sent by Andrew finds out that if someone dares to show some dissatisfaction with their own lady or something~lightnovelpub.net~, their end will be death.
Even if the monitor kills these dissatisfied guys, there is no need to report to Andrew at all.
Under such a premise, how can the capital be unstable?
Therefore, the capital controlled by Cocoa and the first-tier cities in Shanhaiguan do not have to worry about food problems at all. This alone leaves behind the area controlled by the Dashun army and the number of streets controlled by the Nanming court.
As for the post money... Coco's next goal is them, so there is no need for comparison.
The refugees are arranged to start repairing the roads in the capital. Although there is cocoa to provide them with porridge and drink for free, Andrew still does not want these guys to be too idle.
After all, if people are too idle, trouble will happen.
Moreover, Andrew also felt that it was not good to give these guys for nothing, so he came up with such an idea.
Of course, and more importantly, Coco hated the road conditions in the capital in this era, which prompted Andrew to have such an idea.
Anyway, those refugees are also idle, so let them find something to do.
Besides, these refugees are not doing things in vain. Andrew, the ‘Prime Minister of the Universe’, pays them wages.
There is a lot of money for work, and I can drink three meals of gruel a day. How could the refugees not accept it? For them, this is simply a pie in the sky.
Therefore, one by one they exploded with great enthusiasm and drive.
As the emperor, Coco, while living in the palace of the original Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, began to slowly introduce some policies to benefit the people under the inspiration of Andrew.
Thanks to Andrew's presence.
Otherwise, can the bear child think of this?
Obviously, this is unlikely.
