Emperor Liu Hong's happy life was never delayed by the departure of those close to him. There is the Queen of Song in the front, and there is the Cao Festival in the back. The deceased is gone, and living in the present has always been Liu Hong's principle of doing things, so in October of the same year, the emperor went to the West Garden and obtained another identity other than the emperor, the president of the Forbidden China Chamber of Commerce.

In Liu Wei's view, his business talent as a living father is much, much higher than his talent as an emperor, because even such a child's play in business games, under Liu Hong's extremely advanced economic vision, can also summarize the economic means of great "significance of the times", so as to exploit the people invisibly. If it weren't for Liu Hong's own good poetry and songs, and he didn't know "Luo Shen Fu", Liu Wei would even suspect that this father had also crossed over.

The story is actually very simple in the eyes of everyone.

First of all, Liu Hong mobilized all the palace maids and concubines in the palace to participate in this business game, some played the role of operators, and some played the role of guests who bought things, and Liu Wei's old mother, Queen He, was naturally no exception. As an encouragement and reward, the emperor specially took five million coins from the West Garden treasury as a reward to reward the operator who sold the most treasures at the end.

The seller has benefits, and the buyers naturally have benefits, and the event planner Emperor Liu Hong said that the income from the operation of treasures belongs to the buyer, so that the entire harem, for such a large-scale charity of the emperor, are from the heart and give full support to the action.

For a while, the benchmark of the West Garden shop and the Luoyang shop was simply surpassed, and the concubines racked their brains to do everything in order to sell better, or buy more. For example, the proprietor Empress He even forcibly "recruited" Liu Biao to shout for his stall, which once made Liu Bian feel like he was forced to open for business.

However, the eldest prince personally shouted and bought and sold, which was much more eye-catching than the concubines. Either because of the harem power clinging, or because Liu Wei is really cute, or because Queen He's treasure is really more exquisite, the half-month business game has not been out for three days, and Queen He is far ahead with an absolute advantage.

Such a result is naturally a matter of course in the eyes of Queen He and even in the eyes of the concubines in the harem, after all, the five million money promised by the emperor is small, and the appreciation and preference of the Son of Heaven behind the five million is a really good thing, but such a good thing, who would dare to compete with the beautiful and ruthless Queen He in front of him? Let's not talk about whether you can fight for the time being, but once you can't fight, it will cost you your life.

As a result, the unexpected tacit understanding of the concubines instantly caused such a one-sided result. Obviously, the emperor was not satisfied with such a result.

So this business ghost immediately started his macro control again. Three days later, the emperor announced that Empress He would close down the shops and give other shops the right to set prices, without having to sell treasures at the prices set by the emperor. That is to say, if in the next twelve days, if everyone's results do not exceed Queen He's three-day business income, then the title of Shangkui and the corresponding rewards will naturally be gone.

I have to say that Liu Hong's macro control has a surprisingly good effect. The West Park store instantly regained its original vitality.

Now that they have obtained the pricing power, in order to surpass Queen He, the concubines have surprisingly unanimously chosen to increase the price of the baby, and a piece of precious jade of 100,000 yuan has now been sold for 300,000 yuan, and the strange stone of 500,000 yuan has been sold for 1.5 million yuan. The reason is actually very simple, there are so many treasures in your own stall, and it is not how good the queen is, if it is sold cheaper than Queen He's, even if it is sold out, it can't surpass Queen He, so simply be black-hearted, sell a little more expensive, maybe there is still a chance?

But in this way, the concubines who are the buyers are unwilling, Queen He's better and more beautiful treasure jade is only 200,000 yuan, and now an ordinary piece of beautiful jade costs 300,000 yuan. As an associate who was ordered to close down his business, Liu Wei couldn't help but be surprised when he saw such a situation, the seemingly ordinary court child's play did not expect to be stunned by himself, the business ghost emperor father, played the feeling of inflation in later generations, which really impressed him.

What Liu Wei didn't expect was that Emperor Liu Hong's divine operation was not limited to this, and the West Garden business was only depressed for two days. Early in the morning of the sixth day, a new round of climax began, and even such prosperity even opened.

As for the reason, Liu Wei was speechless. Liu Hong sent money! Liu Hong not only gave the concubines the right to buy treasures, but also made almost crazy compensation to the concubines who participated in the purchase of treasures. Those who purchase a treasure will be compensated 100,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan for 2 pieces, 300,000 yuan for three pieces, and so on.

In this way, the concubines who had bought treasures before carefully calculated that the beautiful jade and jewels in their hands didn't even need money! The West Park business has entered an unprecedented madness. But for the concubines who don't have much money and haven't bought treasures, this kind of madness is simply overwhelming, the original 100,000 yuan of beautiful jade only rose to 300,000 yuan in the first day, and now because of the emperor's subsidy, it has risen to 500,000 yuan, and he was still able to buy two yuan, but now he can't even afford one.

However, the most collapsed is still to sign Empress He, in her own words, she is too sincere, she has worked hard to save up several years of rare treasures, and sold most of them in three days is only more than 8 million yuan, but after half a month of more than 8 million yuan, in the West Garden shop just buy a string of two or three beads, and the heart is uneven and go to the emperor to coquettish theory, the clinker emperor not only did not compensate, but also admonished him, saying that doing business is risky? Go back to the palace and talk to your son Liu, I didn't expect this kid to follow and say that you must be cautious when entering the market?

Liu Wei is not very interested in the profits and losses of his honest old lady and what happened to him at the very place of his emperor Lao Tzu, what he has seen and heard in the past half a month makes him think of some trivial things that Shi Ziyi told him at the foot of Beibi Mountain two years ago, but he didn't think it was right at the time, but now it seems shocking.

"In the past, in the peaceful years, ten yuan could buy a bucket of corn, so one stone was only one hundred and twenty yuan. Then the war in the north continued, and the price of grain rose a lot, and one hundred and twenty yuan was only three buckets of rice, Ahou ...... Hey, why did Your Highness ask such a question? Shi Ziyi hadn't seen Liu Wei for a long time, and now he was overjoyed to see his sudden visit.

"Now, what is the price of rice now?" Liu Wei was noncommittal and asked.

"I'm ashamed to say it, His Royal Highness Liberty has taken care of it, and the old minister has not known the price of rice for a long time. Now that the war is gone, the price of rice should always fall. ”

"Six hundred stone county orders require six million dollars." Liu Wei shook his head, and speculated to himself: "If it is in the Taiping period, these 600 stone corn are only 72,000 yuan, and Rao is county order will only serve for ten years, and it will only be 720,000 yuan." I hadn't even thought about it before, so I just listened to the story. ”

"Your Highness has any doubts, don't hesitate to talk to the old minister." Shi Ziyi saw him talking to himself and couldn't help asking.

Liu Wei shook his head again and again, but still said to himself: "I am afraid that such inflation is more than ten times, and it is still the case for officials, let alone the world."

"What is inflation, and what does Your Highness's words mean?"

"Dad, if my guess is right, now I am afraid that one hundred and twenty yuan can only buy a bucket of corn, and one stone will cost at least a thousand yuan, and if it is what the people want, I am afraid that it will be far more than this price." Liu Wei frowned and sighed.

"Is it so expensive?"

"If the yellow scarves break out and the war drags on, don't say it's corn, I'm afraid it's really going to be cannibalism." Liu Wei was deeply moved.

"But I thought that the price of rice was really inappropriate, so expensive." As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, he shook his head again and again, frowned, and said: "One stone of corn is only the food of a family of three in March, if it is a big wealthy family with three thousand servants, it will cost four thousand stones for a year's food, that is, 400 million yuan, and if a year's food needs 400 million yuan, how can a wealthy family be able to bear this burden?"

Shi Ziyi laughed when he heard this: "I know more about this than His Highness." Not to mention that Luozhong will mint money and produce money, these wealthy families have taken exploiting the people and annexing the land as their foundation, they don't have to buy corn, and even use the surplus corn to sell, how can they still think that corn is expensive? ”

Liu Wei was speechless for a while, then nodded again and said: "I have heard about the coinage for a long time, but I haven't seen it myself, even if I know the truth, but it is really difficult to empathize. ”

"How does Your Highness empathize with it now?"

"Xiyuan Lie, Your Majesty rewards money to buy things, and my mother is one of the victims, so naturally I feel the same way." Liu Wei smiled helplessly.

"I see."

Liu Wei looked at the remaining half bowl of wheat rice eaten by Shi Ziyi before the case, and sighed faintly: "In the past, I only thought that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was just to emulate Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, in order to compete for the words of princes and generals, but now I finally understand why so many people do not remember life and death, and rebel with Zhang Jiao, a thief."

Although Shi Ziyi didn't know what he was talking about, he finally asked extremely cooperatively: "Why?"

Liu Wei pointed to the half bowl of wheat rice and said, "That's it."

Shi Ziyi hurriedly took the half bowl of wheat rice, took two mouthfuls indiscriminately, and laughed dryly.
