Chapter 648: Grain
"Oh, Your Majesty, you're wearing such a headdress, really, hey, it's not good." Wang Xi said to Yun Xi in some incoherent words.
Yun Xi reached out and stroked his hair, and said with a smile: "I have carefully read the "Da Ming Huidian", which has regulations on the hair buns of me and the clan, but I have not found any regulations prohibiting this kind of hair buns. So why not? ”
"But, Your Majesty, the ministers don't look like it. After a while, Your Majesty will go to the court, and there should be a lot of advice in front of Your Majesty's eyes. Wang Xi said.
"Whatever they do! Since I did not disobey the "Daming Huidian" set by the emperor's grandfather, I am not afraid of their admonition. Leaving the recital of their advice is not published, but it is just a change of bun. Besides, I wore a crown on my head when I went to court, and the courtiers couldn't see my hair bun clearly. Yun Xi said.
Hearing Yun Xi's last sentence, 'The courtiers can't see my hair bun clearly', Wang Xicai sighed and stopped talking.
"Wang Xi, I know that you are for my good, but I also have my own reasons." Yun Xi whispered to him.
"The minions also know that His Majesty is justified, it's just ,......。" He wasn't done yet.
However, Yun Xi also understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "It's nothing." Then he left his dormitory and went to the dining hall for breakfast.
Siqi was stunned immediately when he saw Yun Xi's bun, as if he wanted to say something; But before she could speak, Baoqing said loudly: "Yunxi, what kind of hair are you combing!" ”
Yun Xi smiled and said, "My nephew's newly invented bun, how is it, is it good-looking?" ”
Baoqing sat on the seat, picked up a bun and took a bite before saying, "It's good-looking, but a small half of the hair is scattered on the shoulders, and Aunt Zhou, who took care of me, once said that it is not good to wear loose hair." After the Chinese New Year this year, Aunt Zhou tied up my hair and braided it in a bun. ”
"Nephew, it's not like he's completely out of his hair." Yun Xi also sat down, said this sentence and began to eat.
Hee Yao, who was eating with him, also had an opinion about Yun Hee's hair, but she put up with it. She knew that she couldn't persuade Yun Xi's thoughts, so she wouldn't speak for the sake of the relationship between husband and wife. Not only that, Xiyi seemed to have the idea of talking, but she also stopped her.
When he went to court, he was really safe and sound, and the ministers couldn't see his hair bun clearly; However, after returning to the Qianqing Palace, he attracted the advice of the four auxiliary officials and the housekeepers.
But Yun Xi completely ignored this, and after they said a few words, when they saw Yun Xi's appearance, they could only stop persuading.
However, Yun Xi himself is also glad that Fang Xiaoru, the only 'fundamentalist' among the cabinet officials under his command, is now studying in Jiangbei and is not in the capital, so he can save a lot of trouble.
Next, Yun Xi began to deal with the folds, the first of which was the overseas grain reported by Zhang Jian, the secretary of the Shanghai City Shipping Division.
Yun Xi looked at the ticket written on the slip he was holding: "The Book of Han has clouds, and the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, so it should be strictly forbidden to import overseas grain from Shanghai City; However, the land where it was built was crowded and narrow, and overseas grain imports were allowed after deliberation. 'It's Wang Gen.
In fact, if Wang Gen, who had just been admitted to the Jinshi a year ago, would not have the latter sentence at all, and would have demanded that Xiao Zhuo, Li Taiyuan and others who had 'nothing to do' import grain from overseas be severely punished.
But after more than a year of experience by Yun Xi's side, although Wang Gen still disagrees with many of Yun Xi's views, he also understands that some things are not so easy to stop. After Yun Xi called for learning from Guan Zhong last year, he also found a book that recorded Guan Zhong's deeds, coupled with Yun Xi's usual words and deeds, he understood that it is impossible to completely ban the import of low-priced grain by banning it alone, but the ban can increase their import costs, and the grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not expensive, and the import cost can be stopped by a little higher.
However, it is different from the construction of the city, which has a large number of people and a narrow area, and the local grain price has been above 200 wen for a long time, so it cannot be stopped by relying on the ban. In addition, Jianjian was not self-sufficient in grain, and there was not much difference between foreign grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and from overseas, so he voted like this.
Yun Xi secretly rejoiced in his heart: "It's a good thing that a standard traditional feudal scholar has changed some thinking after more than a year by my side. ’
But his thinking is still stuck at the point where the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and he still needs to improve. ’
Yun Xi suddenly said to Wang Xi: "You go and send someone to pass on the head of the household department Shangshu Qi Tai to enter the palace to meet you." He himself picked up the rest of the recitals and replied.
After a while, Qi Tai entered the palace, and Yun Xi handed Zhang Jian's recital to him, and continued to comment on the other recitals in his hand. When he estimated that Qi Tai had finished reading the recital, he said to Qi Tai: "How do you think this matter should be handled?" ”
"Your Majesty, the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and the import of grain from overseas should be banned." Qi Tai Dao.
"Then do you think you can ban it completely?" Yun Xi said again.
Qi Tai was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but I'm afraid it's not okay in Jianjian." He also immediately thought of the only province in the country that could not be self-sufficient in food at this time.
Yun Xi asked Wang Gen to come over again, told him Qi Tai's thoughts, and then told Qi Tai Wang Gen's thoughts, and then said: "I think that if you think of a way to think only from the perspective of Da Ming, it is right; But if you think about it from the perspective of the whole world, not much. ”
"The world includes not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the countries of the South Sea, the East, and the West (Indian Ocean), as well as those countries in the north. As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, you should not only consider the problem from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, but also from the perspective of the whole world. ”
"The land of the South Seas, although the miasma is dense, many people who have just arrived there are infected, and more soldiers were infected in the previous crusade against the Majapahit than were killed by the Majapahit, but it is not a barren land as many people imagine, at least the grain is ripe three times a year, and the locals don't have to worry about eating enough without having to take care of the crops." Qi Tai and the others could see the twists and turns of coming back from Nanyang by Yun Xi's side, and naturally knew that what Yun Xi said was right.
"In this case, it is impossible for the farmers of Daming to make the price of local grain lower than that of Nanyang under any circumstances."
"So instead of just growing food, farmers should be allowed to grow things that can be sold at a higher price."
"This ,......," Wang Gen didn't know what to say.
The emperors of all dynasties wished that the farmers would grow grain, but Yun Xi actually said that the farmers could grow things that could be sold at a higher price. But he didn't know how to argue with it. According to the past from Nanyang, he clearly knew that even if there was no grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Nanyang would still be able to have enough food to feed the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As for the fact that the Nanyang countries do not sell grain to Daming, such a thing will definitely not appear in his mind.
