With the initial development of the war, there were more twists and turns on Qin Feng's desk immediately, basically all related to this war, and the domestic political affairs were basically handed over to Shoufu to deal with, and Qin Feng's attention now completely turned to this battle with Qin Huang.

The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and the first to report to Qin Feng was naturally Su Kairong of the household department, and now the silver taels that flow out of his hands every day are in the amount of 100,000 taels, of course, this household department Shangshu, who is famous for the title of iron rooster, is now very generous, but there is a need, and he will not delay.

"Your Majesty, this time the move of handing over the supply of grain and grass to the merchant to contract a part of the move is right, judging from the current situation, it is about 20% cheaper than the imperial court itself to organize people to transport. The minister is going to hand over all these grain and grass transportation tasks to them next, so that they can save a lot." Su Kairong held the account book and said with a smile.

"It's all up to the merchant, what if something goes wrong?" Qin Feng was a little uneasy: "At this price, do they have money to make?"

"Businessmen can't afford to make no money early, how can they be willing to do it?" Su Shangrong said with a smile: "Their money is earned in two aspects, the first is that they transport the old grain of last year or the year before last, and now the autumn grain is about to be harvested and put into storage, and these grains will not be out of the warehouse, and the price will fall immediately. They have a mature transportation network and sales network, and thirdly, their losses along the way are much lower than ours."

"Why is the loss so low?" Qin Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, this, hehe, the grain belongs to the imperial court, this ......" Su Kairong laughed dryly.

"Okay, you don't have to say it, I understand." Qin Feng's face darkened, it was nothing more than that the cub was not distressed to sell Ye Tian!

"Your Majesty." Su Kairong patted a sycophant, "On the whole, the cost of grain shipment is about 30% lower than the cost of our shipment, and we take back 10% from this 30%, and the other 20% as their profits."

"You haven't delayed the military plane?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured." Su Kairong, "Before these grain merchants obtained this qualification, they all signed military orders with our household department and the military department. Do they dare to slack off, you say? I'm afraid it's a little more secure than our own luck."

"That's right!" Qin Feng smiled, but whenever he threatened the head on his neck, he would naturally be much more attentive than usual." The Ministry of Household estimates, how long will we fight this war, and it will not affect the normal operation of the country?"

"Your Majesty, we have money now!" Su Kairong said proudly: "Now the Ming Imperial Bank is printing money day and night."

"Didn't Su Can say that you can't print paper money indiscriminately? It is said that we want to live within our means, and what banknotes can't be more than the income of the entire national economy of the Ming Dynasty, how can we print it vigorously now?" Qin Feng asked strangely. Don't worry about it now?"

"Your Majesty, we're short of banknotes now. You have been in the Tiger Prison for the past few months, and you may not be very clear about the situation in China, but now our banknote buying power has been greatly enhanced. Prices have dropped dramatically. For example, rice, which used to cost about one stone of rice and one tael of silver, has now dropped by almost one-third."

"Isn't this because the new grain is going to be marketed?"

"No, it has something to do with the new grain listing, but more importantly, there is not enough money on the market. If he doesn't have enough money, he will be worth it, and prices will fall." Su Kairong said tongue twisters like Qin Fengdao.

"Speak human words." Qin Feng's eyes widened. Isn't it better for the common people to buy more with less money when prices fall?"

"Your Majesty, it's very simple." Su Kairong shouted, "Although the people can buy more things because of the drop in prices, are the people who grow grain happy?" Are the owners of those workshops happy? They're getting less!"

Qin Fengleng paused for a moment and nodded: "This is also true."

"What's more, our prices have plummeted, and the goods exported to Chu have also fallen in price, and the Chu people can buy more of our things with the same money, and we are at a big loss. And the things we bought in Chu in large quantities, the price has not fallen, we have to use more money to buy them back, and it is a big loss! This in and out, is very detrimental to the national economy, so now Su Can is printing money day and night and then putting it into the market, two days ago, Shoufu also convened the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Bank to meet together on this matter, to start large-scale construction projects in Qingzhou and other places, the Ministry of Industry has begun to plan this matter, and I will report to His Majesty in a while."

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, he really didn't understand these things, but it didn't matter if he didn't understand them, the people who were doing things down to him could understand them. However, an obvious fact can also be seen from this matter, that is, the current Ming Dynasty, in the economy, has almost achieved take-off, Qin Guoma is more bankrupt to fight a battle with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is still worried about how to spend more money, the economy of the two is completely heaven and earth.

Fighting a war was originally a money-consuming job, Qin Feng still remembered that in the past few years, every time he fought, Su Kairong was so worried about something, but now his face was full of red light and his face was full of pride.

The daughter-in-law's trip to Chu has brought too many benefits to Daming. This year's great take-off of the Ming economy is inseparable from the great contribution of the Chu State.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play." Su Kairong closed the account book in his hand and said.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to issue an order to recruit Geng Jingming to enter the household as an official and give the minister a deputy." Su Kairong said: "Wait for the minister to take him for another two years, and he will be able to be qualified for this household secretary."

"Geng is shrewd?" Qin Feng was surprised: "When did you fall in love with him?"

"I've been eyeing him for a long time." Su Kairong smiled: "This time he came to me in order to get the right to transport grain, didn't he send it to the door?" I first set up a temporary director of the Household Dispatch Department with him, and when the war is over, you will make a will, and he will not be able to leave if he wants to."

"Isn't this guy in the silk business? Later, I went to the Railway Administration to help for a long time, and he made the public-private joint-stock system, right? Why did you go to make food again?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"This guy has a nose that is smarter than a dog, and we haven't fought with Qin yet, so he came to me. It is necessary to take the right to carry the grain of the entire army this time. At first, the minister was not at ease at all, but he made a military order, and finally the grain under his command also signed a military order, and the entire budget price given was 30% lower than our budget in advance, so I gave them 40% of the work first. In fact, he didn't invest a penny in this matter, but just took a total of money."

"Do you think he can be the head of the household?"

"Yes, absolutely!" Su Kairong nodded affirmatively: "He is better than me. Minister, on top of throttling, he thinks he is second, and no one dares to be the first, but on top of open source, the minister is far inferior to him. This person has a natural ability to make money, Your Majesty, now it is said that Geng Jingming is the richest man in my Ming Dynasty, and the businessmen of Ming will never deny it. Such a person, if he can be the head of the Ming Dynasty, will the Ming Dynasty be short of money in the future? Definitely not. As long as he comes to the household department, I will take him for two years, let him be familiar with the operation of the Ming household department, this person can definitely assist His Majesty to do a great cause. Didn't you say that fighting a war is more about fighting money and the national economy, followed by the combat capability of the army, let's develop the economy well, and then use money to crush them."

Hearing this, Qin Feng laughed: "What you said is really good, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the army is naturally strong. But listening to what you mean, this Geng is very shrewd and unwilling to be an official?"

"Your Majesty, now this guy is the richest man in our Ming Dynasty, how can he be free of himself? In his own words, the effort to catch his breath is a business of hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. Our Ming officials have a lot of restrictions, of course this guy doesn't want to." Su Kairong snorted and said: "This guy doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for Your Majesty, he would have been able to get rich so quickly, look at the rich people in the Chu State and the Qi State, now they are all trying to do everything possible to quietly move the money to our Daming?" Changlong Bank is making a lot of money now!" Su Kairong sighed, he was also a shareholder of Changlong back then, but unfortunately in the end, in order to avoid suspicion, he had to withdraw from it, if he could still be a shareholder now, he would have been a super-rich man long ago.

"What do you mean by that, are you not very satisfied with my restrictions on officials?" Qin Fengpi smiled and said authentically.

Su Kairong was startled, and quickly stood up: "Don't dare, don't dare, Your Majesty, this is for the sake of the world, incumbent officials are not allowed to do business, and the minister wholeheartedly supports it. Wouldn't it be much better to follow Your Majesty and go down in history in the future than to have a few dollars."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Qin Feng smiled: "How come I seem to have heard that Changlong Bank is going to invite you over after you retire?"

Su Kairong was embarrassed for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty, after the minister retreats, he is an unofficial and a light body, in the past, he just exerted his residual heat, and now Changlong Bank is also a supreme sword for our Daming, and the minister will go to your majesty to keep an eye on."

"That's a lot of money! No wonder you're in a hurry to find a successor." Qin Feng laughed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, more than sixty ministers, are really a little lacking in energy, so take precautions!" Su Kairong laughed.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding you." Qin Feng suppressed his laughter. I'll think about this matter, hum, under the whole world, it is not the king's minister, the shore of the land, it is not the king's land, this Geng shrewdness ran out of the palm of my hand."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Su Kairong was immediately overjoyed.10
