"Stop for a moment!"

Bai Jingyin's very inopportune remarks interrupted the offer as if it were an 'auction'.

"Does the concubine also want to donate money and food, the concubine is the model of the harem, and she is also the first in this regard." Ling Xiang stroked his beard, as if he had a chance to win.

"Since the prime minister also knows that no amount of money will only feed the appetite of those profiteers, why don't you remember the truth you said now."

"The law can't be changed, we can only do as much as we can."

It's good to give you more money.

Bai Jingyin rolled her eyes in her heart,

Fortunately, she had an idea, otherwise she would really have to watch these donations fall into Ling Xiang's pocket, and she would have to be angry.

"Your Majesty, what the concubines just said, if you can punish profiteers, and avoid high transportation costs by the way, it is not non-existent."

"How is this possible-" Ling Xiang was the first to question. "Unless you can change the minds and desires of the merchants of the world."

Yuan Ruiming didn't say anything surprised or incredulous, looking at Bai Jingyin's eyes were always full of trust.

Although this idea was very bold, he felt that if Bai Jingyin could say it, it would definitely surprise him.

"But it's okay to say, but if you can't say why." Yuan Rui hooked his lips without a trace, "I want to blame you." ”

Bai Jingyin grimaced at the minister with his back to Yuan Ruiming, such a small detail was not discovered by others, but it made Yuan Ruiming's heart warm.

She turned and spoke:

"The change of mind should be spontaneous, and it is precisely because the businessman is in pursuit of profit and light on righteousness that being driven by desire is the point that we can take advantage of those profiteers."

Just one word, but it made Yuan Ruiming's eyes light up instantly like waking up a person in a dream, he sat up straight, but under his calm appearance, his heart was very excited,

Bai Jingyin could really come up with such a good idea.

"What the concubine said is in the clouds, is she playing dumb riddles with us?" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu frowned and puzzled.

Bai Jingyin smiled slightly,

"Isn't it clear enough to say this, I think the emperor still understands, then for the sake of Lord Shangshu, I might as well explain it in more detail." cleared his throat, "As the prime minister said, if the imperial court does not have enough rice and grain, it will inevitably buy from rice merchants on a large scale, and the supply of rice and grain exceeds demand, so they are given the capital to sit on the ground and raise prices, and take the opportunity to make a national fortune." ”

"Although this kind of psychology is despicable, it is also reasonable, and if you want to change it by external forces, how can you do it."

"As long as Master Shangshu doesn't interrupt at will, he can do it."

Bai Jingyin replied unceremoniously, seeing that the Ministry of Works, who usually relied on Ling Xiang's prestige, was deflated in front of such a woman, and the courtiers were also very happy, and there was some subtle laughter.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu blushed and gritted his teeth and turned his head away.

"What can guide the actions of businessmen is a kind of market law, which is very easy to understand, the price increases when the supply exceeds the demand, and the price is reduced when the supply exceeds the demand. Therefore, the most fundamental way to control prices is to always control supply and demand.

”

"But—" Ling Xiang wanted to question again.

"Does the Prime Minister want to say that there is a rigid demand for rice and grain now, and it cannot be shaken at all?" Bai Jingyin looked like he saw through him, and said confidently: "So we don't change the 'demand', but focus on the 'supply', if we can make a large amount of rice and grain pour into the Huaixia area in the short term, and if the materials are abundant, we want to rise, and this price will not rise." ”

"Of course, this requires a will from the emperor."

She turned her head to look at Yuan Ruiming.

"Tobe Shangshu."

Yuan Ruiming did not disappoint her, and had already understood what she said, so he instructed:

"Immediately send people to post the imperial list in the Liangzhejiang region closest to Huaixia, as well as in the rich and disaster-free places in the country, saying that the imperial court urgently requisitioned a large amount of rice and grain for disaster relief, and asked for as much as it wanted. At the same time, he sent someone to spread the news widely, saying that the prices in the Huaixia area had soared and had risen to the price-" Yuan Ruiming thought for a moment, "Each bucket has already risen to fifteen yuan." ”

"Ten, fifteen?" Tobe Shangshu was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground, as if he saw the scene of snowflakes of silver flowing in front of his eyes. "The emperor thinks twice, such a price is only afraid that those merchants will not dare to raise the price like this, if they all bring rice and grain to Huaixia, we really have to pay according to the fifteenth bucket of rice, but I am afraid that the treasury will be half empty!"

"First of all, what the emperor said is 'send people to spread the news', and all the 'Doumi Fifteen' are not from the official announcement, but just the inducement that best meets their guesses due to the current situation."

"What if the merchants come and find out that this is not the case?"

"You can do whatever you want." Bai Jingyin spread his hands and took a step closer to explain Yuan Ruiming's words better, "Since the businessman is seeking profits, when he sees the price of Huaixia rising like this, he must spontaneously organize a large amount of rice and grain to be transported to the Huaixia disaster area." Everyone wants to do this, and the rice grain gathered in Huaixia will definitely not be a small amount, and if there is more supply, the price of grain will inevitably fall under the leverage of the market. ”

"But if they just don't want to lower the price, they'd rather not sell."

Bai Jingyin rolled her eyes in her heart, how could Yu Qiujin look smart and gentle, her father was such a tangled character.

"Hubu Shangshu can substitute himself into those merchants and think about it, spend such a high transportation cost, because the price is not so high, it will not be sold, isn't it in vain to lose the transportation cost back and forth? Besides, once the disaster is over, what is the point of hoarding so much rice and grain, waiting for insects? On the trade-off, as long as they don't lose money, then they are willing to sell. In doing so, the idea of making it difficult for the profiteers to make a fortune was frustrated, and the price of grain was controlled, so that they could buy more rice and grain with the same relief money; At the same time, the transportation cost is waived, isn't it done? ”

She said her thoughts in one breath,

In exchange, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were silent.

Maybe it's because I'm amazed that I can come up with such a brilliant idea, maybe it's because I'm ashamed that I can't think of it but is thought up by a concubine who has been accused of being a 'scourge', or maybe it's because of my own plan

Frustrated and annoyed.

In short, it is rare that there is no sound of discussion.

"Okay."

It wasn't until Yuan Ruiming's concise and expressive praise sounded that the silence was broken.

"I really didn't believe in the wrong concubine."

A few simple words stirred up a thousand waves, and at the beginning, he was eager to push Bai Jingyin to those mobs to sacrifice to the heavens, and the indignant ministers changed their faces one after another, and began to sigh in praise of the emperor's words.

Bai Jingyin breathed a sigh of relief,

If nothing else, thank her for her nine years of volunteer teaching.
