The emperor's eyes lit up, looked at Liu Rong, and waited for Liu Rong to continue.

After Liu Rong finished speaking, she realized that she had opened her mouth to participate in this matter, but since she had spoken, she no longer hid behind, although she explained a lot to the county lord of Yongcheng, but when she said it, it was not something that she fully understood, and there would always be some smoothness.

This is also the reason why Liu Rong was in a hurry and couldn't help wiping her mouth.

Liu Rong took a deep breath, ignoring the light in the emperor's eyes, Gu Zi continued to speak to the emperor: "Now that the flood has just started, unless it is a businessman with a particularly keen sense of smell, he will realize the importance of food, and the people will be short of food in the future, the capital will be short of food, and the price of food will be higher and higher, which can help them earn more silver." ”

"If we rush before the grain merchants react, that is, buy grain now, or collect grain from the estates in various prefectures, hoard enough grain, and when the grain merchants react and start to raise grain prices, we can sell them at normal prices, which can play a certain role in curbing the price increase of grain merchants, and can also help the people at that time."

Liu Rong looked at the emperor and said slightly, before she said word by word: "This is also the reason why Princess Rong wants to buy food and hoard food now." ”

The emperor groaned, obviously considering the feasibility of what Liu Rong said.

The lord of Yongcheng County on the side saw that Liu Rong took the initiative to continue, and secretly let out a sigh, if the emperor asked her again just now, she would definitely not be able to answer, and maybe it would be revealed that Liu Rong raised the matter of hoarding grain.

In this way, there will be a negative Liu Rong's entrustment.

Speaking of which, Liu Rong can take over. It's just wonderful.

If she wants her to say it, Liu Rong should say this matter directly, just look at the simple way to buy grain now, which is plain and just right, which makes people can't help but admire. Where is it as messy as she said, and even persuasion seems unsatisfactory.

The county lord of Yongcheng looked at Liu Rong from the side, and only felt that the more he looked at Liu Rong, the more powerful Liu Rong became. With such eloquence and ability, it's a pity to be a doctor, not to mention a businessman. If it is a special negotiation with the Gentiles. Definitely a first-class master.

Liu Rong didn't know that the county lord of Yongcheng began to think about it again, this would just stand quietly and wait for the emperor to come out with the result, this method actually has some loopholes, but she has already thought about it. When it comes to real implementation. Just set some detailed rules. It is possible to suppress possible problems.

The emperor is a smart person, but he is not a person who has rolled in the mall, so Liu Rong said this. Thinking that it could temporarily stabilize the people, I was a little moved.

Even so, the emperor still looked at Liu Rong and spoke again: "It's not that I can't promise you in this matter, it's just that this way to suppress grain prices, if other grain merchants play some small tricks......"

Liu Rong smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there are only two means that these grain merchants can use, one is to send people to collect our grain, and the other is to unite without reducing the price, resist our side, and wait for our side to sell all the grain, and then make a move." ”

"These things are easy to deal with, as long as the time is set for a person not to buy more than a day's food, and the quota is only set at a few people's daily rations. Then carefully and rigorously investigate, I believe there will not be much of a problem. ”

After all, if it is so refined, those grain merchants must pay countless manpower and material resources to buy the grain on her side, but it is not worth it for them.

Liu Rong paused slightly as she spoke, and looked at the emperor: "Of course, if the emperor is willing to directly support, a temporary emergency law will be set at that time, for example, if anyone dares to buy it repeatedly, once it is verified, it will be regarded as hoarding grain, the purpose of rebellion, and implicating the nine clans. ”

"In this way, the grain merchants dare not make any changes. We can only choose the second way of consumption and wait for the food in our hands to be sold out. Raise prices again. ”

"This kind of waiting is also consuming for them, after all, they have not sold anything, personnel consumption, and usually the family operation needs silver, I believe that this kind of waiting will not be too long, as long as we can hold on for half a month and a month, these people will definitely not be able to afford it, and the final result will be to reduce the price like us."

Liu Rong looked at the emperor and said little by little.

In fact, if the emperor was really willing to participate in this matter, she would have better ways to deal with this matter, but she was not willing to talk about the methods in her heart now, because those methods were relatively ruthless and would hurt people's lives, and she didn't like such methods very much.

Of course, if these grain merchants are stubborn at that time, she also doesn't mind choosing the second method to deal with these grain merchants who make black hearts, everything depends on the choices of those grain merchants.

When the emperor saw that Liu Rong said it was so neat, and the overall method was obviously feasible, he couldn't help but be even more moved.

You must know that if the situation is really as Liu Rong said, if it can be done to this extent, at least it can alleviate the current situation of Great Xia, and he naturally supports such a thing, but it is just that the treasury of Great Xia is empty, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take out this silver.

Thinking of this, the emperor's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply, and he looked at Liu Rong for a while before he spoke: "If you want to do what you said before, how much silver will you need to do it." ”

"You must know that the treasury is not rich now."

It is a compliment to the current treasury if it is not rich, due to the disaster relief in previous years, the border armament, and the silver begged by many states and the imperial court, the treasury has been very tight, which will be difficult to draw out a small part of the silver, not to mention the fact that the silver is drawn out to do what Liu Rong said, the emperor thought about it, if he really did it, he could only take out some silver from his private treasury.

Hearing the emperor's relieved mouth, Liu Rong and the county lord of Yongcheng couldn't help but be happy, and the county lord of Yongcheng glanced at Liu Rong and asked Liu Rong about the next thing about the silver, whether she would tell the emperor directly now.

Liu Rong did not immediately respond to the county lord of Yongcheng.

She was hesitating whether to let the county lord of Yongcheng speak, and directly said that the silver was willing to take this matter.

Because it is not a good thing for them to say that the silver is so direct.

Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the silver they can take out, I'm afraid it will make the emperor's self-esteem uncomfortable.

And then there's one thing, even if it's obviously good for others, you ask to do it, and others ask you to do it, it's completely different.

It's just that you blindly want to help others with good intentions, and you have everything ready, so that the other party fully knows their bottom line, even if you are well-intentioned, the other party will think that you have other plans.

If you set down the conditions and let the other party choose to take the road they chose to choose, then the other party will feel that the road is chosen by themselves, because they choose it themselves, they will also have some yearning, and even because some conditions are insufficient, they will feel that they have something to ask for you.

Once this is the case, the emperor's attitude towards such things will be very different.

Today, they are at the crossroads of such choices.

Whether to choose to tell the emperor directly that they have saved their funds and want to do these things to help the people, or rely on the emperor to discover it himself.

The county lord of Yongcheng didn't know this, if she nodded at the county lord of Yongcheng, the county lord of Yongcheng would definitely say everything directly. It's a choice they make.

Therefore, it is not up to the county lord of Yongcheng to tell the emperor about this matter directly.

In the end, Liu Rong gritted her teeth, she had already interjected before, why should she care about the last little situation, twisting and pinching, not to finish, and if she came back, she would leave something bad behind, so that the hoarding of food would be in a bad situation.

Thinking like this, Liu Rong looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty, how much silver can the treasury take out now?" ”

The emperor thought about the situation of his private treasury, and then told Liu Rong the specific silver taels, even so, Liu Rong was still a little dumbfounded when she heard the emperor's silver, not to mention that it was not as good as the silver that Liu Rong and the county lord of Yongcheng put in, even the silver that Liu Rong was going to take out alone was not as good.

Even so, Liu Rong should also give this silver, and asked a little, hoping that the emperor would send more people, until the emperor should come down, Liu Rong looked at the emperor again and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, when the county lord of Yongcheng mentioned this matter to you, we have already discussed it, if you agree to this matter, Your Majesty, in addition to the silver that the treasury gives us to hoard grain, we are willing to contribute a part of it ourselves to help the people." ”

The emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised Liu Rong and the people of Yongcheng County, and directly opened his mouth to reward them.

It's just that Liu Rong and the county lord of Yongcheng also have a high status, and now there is really nothing to reward, so in the end, Liu Rong and the county lord of Yongcheng were rewarded with some things written by the emperor himself.

Compared with the dissatisfaction of the county lord of Yongcheng, Liu Rong is very happy, at least after these things are passed on, maybe in a few hundred years, they will become more valuable silver things, and they can also give future generations some support.

After the emperor finished rewarding things and was on the rise, Liu Rong looked at the emperor and spoke again: "But the emperor, when the grain merchants start to raise prices, can we sell grain in the name of the imperial court, when those grain merchants resist together and do not reduce the price, sell grain for a period of time, in case our food is not enough, can we use the name of the imperial court to spread some rumors, such as the imperial court opened a grain depot to sell grain......

When Liu Rong said this, the emperor's eyes had lit up, and just from between the lines, he could see the degree of it, so to speak, Liu Rong's thoughts had clearly figured out how to fight this food-related food war completely.

The emperor naturally will not refuse Liu Rong to do this, speaking of which, this is the first time the emperor has seen Liu Rong shine with his own eyes, even the emperor, seeing Liu Rong talking so eloquently, can't help but sigh, fortunately, such a talent is in Daxia, and now he is also helping the court.

Thinking like this, the emperor had an idea in his heart, and he directly sealed Liu Rong with an official position specifically responsible for selling grain to the imperial court, and directly let Liu Rong be in charge of this matter. (To be continued......)
