And with the grain in hand, Chen Jie stored all of it as inventory. According to incomplete statistics, the grain in Huangzhou Prefecture was enough to feed the commoners of the six prefectures under Huangzhou Prefecture's jurisdiction for five full years.
As for the core area inside Huangzhou Prefecture City, the stockpiled grain there was truly massive.
But even with that much grain, Chen Jie still wouldn't sell it off. He would rather brew it into wine than sell, because the world was in chaos, and grain would become the most precious material in the future. It had to be preserved well, because once real fighting started, gold, silver, and jewels couldn't be eaten as grain, whereas grain could genuinely save lives!
The twenty million taels Chen Jie mentioned were basically all profits brought in by Commerce.
