Fang Yun calmly said, "It's nothing much. Starting today, the Hall of Agriculture will be responsible for the food and drink of most people in Ning'an County. However, what they eat and how much will be decided by the Hall of Agriculture. This is to observe in detail what makes the community stronger, smarter, and grow faster."
Several officials' expressions changed. This was a strategy of cutting off the supply at the source, meaning most people in Ning'an County wouldn't need to buy any food! The so-called grain price issue in Ning'an County was no longer a problem, leaving the Left Chancellor's faction striking at empty air.
Fang Yun completely bypassed the "grain price" issue, directly ensuring the people were well-fed. And this wasn't a free giveaway; it was for agricultural research, which not only wouldn't be downgraded but would easily solve the grain price and livelihood issues, causing both the livelihood and agriculture departments to rise instead of fall!
Shen Ming suppressed his anger and asked, "May I ask, County Magistrate, how long will this research last?"
