Chapter 20 The Whereabouts of Grain

June is approaching.

The weather is getting colder.

The sun became very dim and emitted a dim light, which could only bring a hint of warmth.

The average temperature has dropped to about 10 degrees and is still slowly lowering.

Occasionally, a wave of cold air comes from the west, and the temperature will approach zero, which makes people have to wear a thick down jacket.

At this time, Zhang Nan had a surprise discovery: he was not afraid of the cold.

No matter how low the temperature outside or the less you wear on your body, Zhang Nan would not feel cold.

"Master, you are so warm."

The maid Xia Sha became more clingy, especially when she was resting and sleeping, she often tangled around Zhang Nan like an octopus, expressing the feeling of "the master is warm".

In fact, it’s not Zhang Nan’s body that is warm.

But the energy group in the body contained a large amount of light energy. A small amount of radiating out made Zhang Nan's body become a warmer, easily resisting the cold.

This made Zhang Nan very excited. He originally had the kind of cold-fearing physique and frowned when winter came.

Now, no matter how cold winter is, he doesn't have to be afraid.

However, due to the decrease in temperature, the growth of the corn on the five acres of land was also affected, and the efficiency of photosynthesis was greatly reduced.

The commission Zhang Nan can obtain also decreased significantly, even less than half of the normal growth.

How can this work?

Zhang Nan immediately took measures and mobilized a large number of people to build a circle of more than two meters high walls around the five acres of cornfield to block the cold currents blowing from all sides.

Then, a layer of transparent glass was covered on the top of the fence.

The five acres of land were transformed into a greenhouse, which utilizes a closed environment to increase the internal temperature.

In addition, Zhang Nan was worried that the carbon dioxide concentration in the greenhouse was not enough, so he asked someone to order two charcoal basins and place them inside.

After all the measures.

The photosynthesis of these five acres of corn has returned to normal efficiency and has even been improved.

Zhang Nan nodded with satisfaction.

However, some people expressed their lack of understanding.

"Master, you paid such a great price and spent so much materials to build a greenhouse just to plant these corns? You should know that even if all these corns are mature and harvested, they are less than one percent worth of this greenhouse."

The maid Lina said in a slightly tactful tone.

Obviously she couldn't understand why the owner built such an expensive greenhouse for just five acres of worthless corn?

Especially the almost pure transparent glass, in her memory, the value of this glass must be at least comparable to silver of the same quality. Of course, the price of glass provided by the exchange may be lower, but in her eyes, glass is always a high-value item, much more valuable than corn.

But the owner was so extravagant that he used glass to cover the greenhouse.

She couldn't help but speak a few words.

"Oh, these materials are provided by the exchange, so I don't have any money. I called them to ask if I could ask for another batch and build a few more glass greenhouses."

Zhang Nan said lightly: "Besides, it's not just corn, but this greenhouse can grow many crops of crops, and it can also be used in winter. As long as you have a few more crops in the future, the value of this greenhouse will be reflected, and you must look at the problem from a long-term perspective."

"I see."

Lina bowed slightly, and then said with her eyes lit up: "Even such good glass doesn't cost money, so we should ask for more."

"Don't worry, I'll call the exchange right away."

Zhang Nan took out his cell phone.

However, the exchange said that there are not many glass plates left, so Zhang Nan can only provide materials for covering 20 acres of glass greenhouses, and said that it cannot be transported to Zhang Nan Farm immediately. Now all the transportation vehicles on the exchange have been put into the grain transportation task.

It will take at least two months before the materials for building the greenhouse will be transported over.

"Okay, don't forget me."

Zhang Nan said, then hung up the phone.

...

Log in to the city.

It has been three months since the Blue Star was destroyed.

The powerful people in the other world did not launch a new attack, and the tense string at the opening stage slowly relaxed.

Someone began to propose: to lift the ‘special emergency’, everyone will ease it, and if this continues, no one can bear it.

After all, life still needs to be lived, and not everyone can bear the pressure all the time.

Inside the high-rise conference room.

A regular meeting is underway.

Xiao Ziyuan, whose temples had already begun to turn white, thought for a while and said, "I think other departments except the Ministry of Defense can relieve the 'state of emergency'. The extra tension is unnecessary, especially for most ordinary people."

"I agree."

Qi Baozhu, the Human Resources Organization Department, said: "It has been three months since then. I tend to think that the powerful people in another world do not regard us as a too serious threat, and there is no need to take action in person."

"I think so, too."

Song Weiguodao, Ministry of Transportation: "If we were to do it, we would have done it long ago and we would not let us live one more second."

Cao Ming, Ministry of Defense, said: "Due to the long-term startup, our radar has burned several pieces. Not to mention humans, the radar also needs to rest for a while."

"Okay, let's get rid of the special emergency and pass it!"

Xiao Ziyuan had to nod and said.

"Minister Song."

Xiao Ziyuan looked at Song Weiguodao, head of the Ministry of Transportation: "How far have we carried out the food cooperation project with the Sausage Empire? How much grain has been transported?"

"More than 500 million tons!"

Song Weiguo said: "We have invested all the transportation capacity, and the remaining 500 million tons can be transported at most in one month, and this cooperation will be successfully completed."

"How is the payment for the goods?"

"It has been settled all, and the Sausage Empire is very refreshing. One billion gold coins were given to us, and it was settled in advance. This is a very high-quality cooperative user." Song Wei Guodao.

"Director, everyone, there must be something tricky here!"

Yue Xiuyuan, the head of the intelligence system, stood up and said with a serious expression: "I think the purpose of the Sausage Empire to buy food for us is not to reduce the hunger of the people, but to have other purposes!"

"Old Yue, why do you think so?" Xiao Ziyuan looked at him and asked.

Other participants also looked at him.

"This is Luo Jian, the best agent trained by the country, and is proficient in the language of the natives. I sent him to the Sausage Empire and investigated the main flow of large amounts of food we sold. He discovered several major doubts... Luo Jian, let me tell you what you learned."

Yue Xiuyuan pushed out the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting on his left and asked him to tell the situation.

"yes!"

Luo Jian stood up and saluted and began his analysis:

"Dear leaders, I put in thousands of small locators in the large amount of grain sold by the Development Bureau, and personally brought people into the Sausage Empire to observe the whereabouts of the grain. I found that most of the grain was not distributed to ordinary people, nor entered the official warehouse, but flowed into the nobles' granaries."

"Some nobles ate hundreds of thousands of tons, some 50,000 tons, at least more than 10,000 tons."

"In theory, what the noble family lacks the most is food. How could it be that they could eat so much food that they could even hold it in the granary?"

"The reason is very simple. The nobles' granaries were all empty. At least half a year to a year ago, the food from the nobles was sent to the southern border by trucks, to the Kingdom of Lotany and the Kingdom of Freich in the southeast, to the barracks of 500 million troops."

"The food we sold to the Sausage Empire was just to help them fill the domestic food gap. There was even an extra part of it sent to the front line by them, becoming military supplies and materials for starting wars."

"In addition, our grain price is very affordable for one billion tons of grain and one billion gold coins, and they are very happy to pay. But among the billion gold coins, our people found that 600 million of them were the Sausage Empire standard gold coins, and the other 400 million, Lotani gold coins and Fleish gold coins each accounted for half. In other words, the three countries jointly invested 1 billion gold coins to buy our grain."

"As for why they pay so happily, they don't care about the loss of this huge sum of money, and constantly urge us to speed up the delivery of food, I think the real reason is clear at a glance, because this money is just a temporary spend. Maybe it won't take long to return to their side, so they are all actively paying in advance."

Furthermore, Sauss, an old indigenous empire with a history of thousands of years, has long been difficult to recover from the inside. The main impression that the outside world has given the financial difficulties every year. The royal family owed a lot of debts and suddenly had the ability to take out 600 million gold coins, which was simply shocking.
