Chapter 1421 In front of Coco, none of these matters
The late Ming world, which was written as "04" by Coco, happened to be in the Little Ice Age in China on this timeline, with grain production cuts year by year, and even no harvest. In addition, years of war, the Chinese people at this time were really miserable.
However, the people who are currently under the influence of Cocoa suddenly find that even if they have money, they can buy all the food they can't buy overnight, which really makes people feel that it is a strange thing.
You know, now that Nanjing has established a new imperial court, the capital city can no longer rely on food from the south.
The west is within the sphere of influence of the Dashun Army, so there is no need to consider it.
Moreover, over the years, the Later Jin Dynasty has frequently invaded, and the land from the front line of the capital to Shanhaiguan has basically been abandoned, so there is no food at all.
Originally, before the army had captured the capital, the capital could still rely on the food transported from all over the south to alleviate the needs of the people in the capital.
But all of this was no longer expected after the Dashun Army captured the capital and forced Emperor Chongzhen to death.
This is something that anyone who is not a negative IQ can basically determine.
Now that the army has withdrawn from the capital, the new owner has changed a force called the "True Destiny Female Army", and there is also a girl who has become the emperor.
As the saying goes, there will be evil spirits when a country is about to perish.
But no, let’s see who are now on the stage of history.
Of course, for the young people who are promoted to the dowry, whether it is a girl or a British master, the most important thing for them is to get food and not starve. This is the most important thing.
However, due to the above reasons, there is no grain in the capital now. Even the homes of former Ming Dynasty officials who did not escape from the capital are also facing such a situation where they cannot be exaggerated.
Many pessimistic people believe that if this situation continues, it will not take long for people to become cannibalized, and this is not too surprising.
At this time, this tragic situation has occurred in Henan, Ningxia, Xi'an and other places in the early years.
But now the people who are about to be in the capital have to face this kind of thing.
Therefore, for a moment, there was always a very sad cloud over the capital, and people were also shrouded in a desperate atmosphere.
Most people think that this is how things develop.
But suddenly, a large number of grain shops appeared on the street, and there was enough grain for sale in these grain shops, and the prices were extremely cheap and there were many types.
Such changes really made the desperate people in the capital unable to believe it.
But no matter what, buying food is always a good thing, especially the food is very cheap.
Therefore, after a brief shock and incomprehension, the people who recovered rushed to the grain shops at the first time, took out all their money, and went to buy food as much as possible, fearing that they would not be able to buy it if they went too late.
Therefore, for a period of time, people would always see long queues on the streets where the grain shops on the streets of Beijing, and even fight for the sake of queuing.
Fortunately, Andrew had foreseeed such a problem and made arrangements to arrange a large number of soldiers in the area where the food shop was located to maintain order. Therefore, the fight only occurred at the beginning, and it never happened again.
As time goes by, people suddenly find that the situation they are worried that the grain in the grain shop will sell out has never happened.
In this way, after three or four days of crazy purchasing trends, everything gradually returned to normal.
With food at home, the originally depressed and desperate atmosphere in the capital disappeared, and people's hearts quickly stabilized.
Needless to say, there are suddenly so many grain shops and so much food, which must be related to Cocoa.
Speaking of which, Keke also has to thank Li Zicheng, who has been killed.
If this guy hadn't killed a large number of former Ming Dynasty officials during his occupation of the capital, and no one could have encouraged the people in the capital to cause trouble for Coco, it would have been really not so easy for the little guy to control the capital so easily.
Especially those officials' families were killed by Li Zicheng, and the properties and shops he left behind were all cheaper than Coco, who controlled the capital.
Therefore, I mastered a large number of mansions and shops and opened hundreds of grain shops in the capital in one go. Through these grain shops, I sold low-priced grains to stabilize people's hearts.
You should know that these days, all the owners who can open grain shops in the capital are behind the scenes of the court, or those who find someone to come forward to preside over the leadership.
After those guys were killed by Li Zicheng, Jincheng's grain shop would inevitably be closed.
So, to a certain extent, Coco really has to thank Li Zicheng.
Because Li Zicheng helped Keke eliminate the "pests" in the capital, he also left Keke a lot of "wealth", so that the little guy became a "big landlord" out of thin air as soon as he occupied the capital, and he could easily take those "wealth" in his hands without being famous.
Of course, the cocoa that mastered these mansions and shops also did a good thing for the people of the capital, that is, selling food at a cheap price.
In addition, among the hundreds of grain shops opened by cocoa, there are many types of grains sold, including rice and flour, such as soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, sorghum, and everything you eat is sold.
Even in the grain shop, cocoa has opened up areas for selling vegetables across the ages. In this winter, various types of vegetables are sold at very low prices...
Therefore, in this time when there was no connection between the Chinese and the vast number of people starved to death, the people in the capital did not starve to death for the first time.
The reason for this is mainly because the grains sold in the grain shops opened by Cocoa are really cheap.
In addition, Keke has set up many free porridge sheds inside and outside the capital, which are given to refugees who fled from the northwest and Henan to the capital three times a day.
This move has also won the hearts of many people for Coco.
Of course, in Keke's opinion, this is just something he does, and it's nothing at all.
After all, she wants to get food, so it’s not too easy.
Go to the mysterious store and you can buy tens of thousands of tons of grain with one faith point, and it is also Thai fragrant rice.
The food thing is simply cheap in a mysterious store.
Now that she has mastered three faith sources, she can earn hundreds of thousands of faith points every day, and take out a few or even a dozen faith points to buy food from a mysterious store. What is this for her?
Besides, the little guy doesn't want someone to starve to death in the territory he controls.
Because this will make her seem incompetent.
No matter what, she is now the emperor.
Although the little guy didn't know what the emperor was going to do, at least she knew very well that letting the people under her jurisdiction fill their stomachs was something to pay attention to.
Therefore, as the capital opened up the selling of grain and the establishment of the porridge shed, the turbulent people's hearts quickly stabilized.
Even the people think that it is not a bad thing to have a girl who is the emperor.
After all, it is precisely because of this girl’s baby emperor that you don’t have to worry about going hungry now, right?
In fact, the people are all very realistic.
They don’t care who the emperor is, what they care most about is whether they will go hungry.
The scholars who cared about these, and the former Ming Dynasty officials who had not had time to escape from the capital, were no longer afraid of the remaining guys because they were killed by Li Zicheng.
In short, these guys who are still in the capital can't make any big fuss at all.
Not to mention, these guys were secretly monitored by Andrew.
If anyone is found by the surveillance sent by Andrew, if someone dares to show dissatisfaction with his wife, then their fate will be death.
Even the monitor killed these dissatisfied guys and didn't have to report to Andrew at all.
Under such a premise, how can the capital be unstable?
Therefore, the capital and Shanhaiguan-first-tier cities controlled by Keke do not have to worry about food problems at all. This alone has left behind the areas controlled by the Dashun Army and the areas controlled by the Southern Ming Dynasty's forces.
As for the Later Jin... Coco's next goal is them, so there is no need to compare them.
The refugees were arranged to start repairing the roads in the capital. Although cocoa was provided with free porridge, Andrew still didn't want these guys to be too idle.
After all, if a person is too idle, he will have trouble.
Moreover, Andrew also felt that it was not good to give these guys free food and drink, so he came up with such an idea.
Of course, more importantly, Coco hates the road conditions in the capital during this era, which prompted Andrew to have such an idea.
Anyway, those refugees are idle, so it is better to let them find something to do.
Besides, these refugees did not do anything in vain. Andrew, the "Captain of the Universe", paid them wages.
He has money to get the workmanship and has a lot of it. He can drink three meals of porridge every day. How could those refugees not accept it? For them, this is simply a good thing that a pie falls from the sky.
Therefore, they burst out with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm one by one.
As the emperor, Coco, while staying in the palace of the former Ming emperor, began to slowly introduce some policies to benefit the people under the inspiration of Andrew.
Thanks to Andrew.
Otherwise, how could naughty kids think of these?
