Chapter 273: A Breakthrough Strategy

It's still come to this. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

One is stubborn, the other is ruthless and unrighteous, what should Shen Liancheng do? For a moment, it was like a hundred claws scratching her heart, making it difficult for her to suppress the depression in her heart.

"Hand over the post, I want to meet the Son of Heaven." Shen Liancheng commanded, this is the time to leave.

Chen Xiang grabbed her with a vigilant expression, "Don't be impulsive." ”

"Why don't you go and ask the Son of Heaven?" Shen Liancheng broke away from him, inexplicably angry.

"You know, it's useless to beg." Chen Xiang might as well tell her: "Yesterday, during the discussion in the imperial study, I proposed to open the salt warehouses of the government reserves in various places to show that the Son of Heaven loves the people, but it was vetoed. ”

"The government's reserve salt warehouse ......" Shen Liancheng was like an initiation, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking: "Can you transfer the number of salt stored in the reserve salt warehouse in various places?" ”

"What do you want to do with this?" Chen Xiang was puzzled.

"There's a way." Shen Liancheng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and smiled a little. "I want to know the number."

"Let's go, follow me to the Tianguan Mansion." Chen Xiang took the lead and walked to the front. Shen Liancheng said that there is a way, then there must be a way. All he could do was help her.

After getting the amount of salt stored by the local government, Shen Liancheng was very satisfied, "It's enough." ”

When she knew what she knew, the reply in the palace was also sent by the slave.

"Can't you tell me what to do until you meet the Son of Heaven?" Chen Xiang was a little worried about her, and he was inevitably curious. At this point, he couldn't figure out what Shen Liancheng was going to do.

"Son of Heaven, don't you like to exchange benefits the most?" Shen Liancheng smiled, "This time, I made the Son of Heaven the one who made the most money." ”

Chen Xiang was stunned and vaguely guessed something. And by the time he figured it out thoroughly, Shen Liancheng had already left.

In the Luanqing Palace, when the Son of Heaven Yu Wenlie saw Shen Liancheng, he took the first step to speak, "Except for persuading your grandfather to go home, don't talk to King Lone, King Lone doesn't want to hear it." ”

"The method of enriching the treasury, Your Majesty doesn't want to hear it?" Shen Liancheng asked unhurriedly.

"Abundant treasury?" Yu Wenlie was a little surprised.

After years of war, the treasury of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has long been empty, and if there is a way to enrich the treasury, of course he must listen.

"My method can not only make Your Majesty more supported and loved by the people, but also allow Your Majesty to establish authority among the ministers, and at the same time earn a lot of money." Shen Liancheng's eyes revealed a bit of mystery.

"Is there such a good thing?" Yu Wenlie laughed, couldn't help but sit down, and ordered, "You say come and listen." ”

"Please forgive Aman for not being able to elaborate." Shen Liancheng said, "But I ask the Son of Heaven to hand over the exercise of the power of the reserve salt warehouses in various places of Aman." ”

When Yu Wenlie heard this, he felt angry and funny. After laughing twice, he said in a deep voice: "Aman, but the lonely king Pingsuri loves you too much? Your grandfather is still kneeling outside, and you are going to make the lonely king unhappy again? ”

"Aman doesn't dare." Shen Liancheng knelt on the ground, but he was not in a hurry, and continued: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has given Ah Man the exercise of authority to reserve salt warehouses in various places, and Ah Man dares to guarantee that he can record two years of tax income for His Majesty. If Aman can't do it, let His Majesty dispose of it. ”

Seeing her swear so much, Yu Wenlie couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly to look at her.

She wants to save the poor people from the dire situation, but does not let him suffer, what will she do? He was a little curious. Looking back on the past, Shen Liancheng could always surprise him. Presumably, this time is no exception.

Thinking like this, Yu Wenlie finally agreed: "Okay, the Lone King gives you this power." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Liancheng kowtowed as easily as he walked, thanking the Son of Heaven for his trust.

"Persuade your grandfather to go home!" Yu Wenlie helped her up, "It's freezing outside, don't freeze your teacher." ”

"Yes, Aman, I'll go." Shen Liancheng got up and made a speech.

When she came outside, Shen Kuo's hands and feet were already cold. Shen Liancheng was distressed, hurriedly stepped forward, took off the cloak on his body and draped it on him, "Grandfather, let's go home!" The Son of Heaven agreed. ”

"Promised to issue a decree?" Shen Kuo was overjoyed.

"I promise to hand over the exercise of the functions and powers of the reserve salt warehouses in various places to me for the time being."

"Reserve salt silos?" Shen Kuo didn't understand, and after thinking about it, he was surprised, "The Son of Heaven promised to open a warehouse and give salt to the people who can't afford to buy salt?" ”

Then he thought it was impossible. It is even more difficult to get the Son of Heaven to open a warehouse and release salt than it is to let the Son of Heaven issue a decree to curb the absurd behavior of the salt market.

"Grandfather, you get up first." Shen Liancheng hugged Shen Kuo and said, "Let's go home, I'll talk to you slowly." ”

After leaving the palace gate, she ordered someone to go to Chen Guogong's Mansion and invited Chen Xiang to Taifu's Mansion. At this time, she needs reliable and useful manpower.

Not long after she and Shen Kuo went home, Chen Xiang also arrived. It was only then that Shen Liancheng told them his intentions.

"I will take out the salt from the reserves of the local government and sell it to the people at twice the usual price. But there must be a limit, and those nobles and merchants who hoard salt must not be allowed to buy it. We also want to tell the people that our salt will last for a year, and that next summer there will be new salt production. ”

"Take out the salt from the government and sell it?" This is something that has never happened in the past, Shen Kuo was a little worried, "The reserve of salt is sold out, if there is an emergency, ......"

The salt stored in the warehouses in various places is stored in case of emergencies.

As early as the time of Emperor Taizu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the people of Chen spent a lot of money to buy all the salt in the important towns of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which caused a big chaos in the Northern Zhou during the war and seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After learning this lesson, Emperor Taizu set up reserve salt warehouses throughout the country to meet the occasional need.

Now that this salt is to be used, it is common for Shen Kuo to have concerns.

Chen Xiang smiled disappreciatively. It seemed that he had already thought about what Shen Liancheng would do next.

"Grandfather, the salt from the officials in various places has been taken out and sold, think about it, what will those gentry, nobles and businessmen who have hoarded salt in their hands do?" Shen Liancheng also said lightly, "Since you can't make huge profits with the salt in your hand, you naturally have to ship it as soon as possible and don't let yourself lose more." At that time, we will divide another group of people, and whoever bids low will buy back the salt in large quantities. The salt sold in the reserve salt silo can not only be returned, but also make a small profit on the price difference between the sale and the sale. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful. Shen Kuo suddenly brightened, couldn't help touching his gray beard, and said with a smile on his face, "I'm really old and confused, and I'm still smart." ”

broke the situation like this, and Shen Liancheng also had fighting spirit. She even began to look forward to what kind of anxiety would be revealed by those who had hoarded salt and thought they could sell it for a good price. Especially Shen Ruxiu. (To be continued.) )
