"The emperor, the queen mother, the princess ......" Yue Su rushed into the three in order and gave his hands respectively, and then said: "The reason why the minister said that he wanted to destroy the Liu family is that there is a basis, just now the minister also said that when Li Haoquan went to buy rice, the rice shop guy first asked for ten taels of silver and one stone, and then asked for fifteen taels of silver and one stone, but that's it, hehe......"

In the end, Yue Su couldn't help but sneer

"What's the matter, the merchant is just temporarily raising the price, what's the sin besides, didn't your subordinates also beat that guy? Could it be that this matter alone can be regarded as a crime of exterminating the Liu family? When the princess heard Yue Su's laughter, she immediately became dissatisfied and argued loudly with Yue Su

The little emperor Zhu Ciyan naturally didn't understand what it meant, and seemed to think that it was nothing, only the queen mother Zhang Yan, who seemed to have a little so

At this time, Yue Su spoke again, "The princess is the body of a daughter, she opens her mouth when she eats, and she stretches out her hand when she wears clothes, of course she won't put such things in her eyes, but it is a big deal for the people, it is important to my Ming Dynasty, and it can even make my Ming Dynasty fall."

"Yue Su, you don't have to be alarmist here, and to excuse your subordinates, just because you slander my Ming Dynasty, this crime is enough to make you cut a thousand knives" Princess Ningde pointed at Yue Su and shouted angrily

"Is there any alarmism?" Yue Su chuckled lightly and said: "Since the princess Chitose can't understand, then let Yue Su, who is a courtier, analyze it for Chitose" Yue Su sighed slightly, and then said: "First of all, I will say that the Ming Dynasty official's Yulu, the minister is a good product, and the monthly salary is eighty-seven stones, but the rice should be converted into an official price, one tael of silver and one stone, which means that the minister's Yulu is eighty-seven taels of silver per month......

"What's the use of you talking about this, how much is the amount of Yipin Lord, who doesn't know" Without waiting for Yue Su to finish speaking, Princess Ningde hurriedly said

"Huiyan, don't interject yet, let Yue Qing's family finish speaking" Zhang Yan said softly, and after Princess Ningde responded "Yes, Queen Mother", Zhang Yan looked at Yue Su and said, "Yue Qing, you continue"

"Yes, the queen mother" Yue Su bowed slightly, and said: "The minister is a first-class member, and the monthly salary is eighty-seven taels, and now Liu Jimi's shop sells fifteen taels of one stone of rice, and the minister can buy six stone rice in a month, if the minister's mansion is counted as guards, hundreds of people up and down, and a month down, let alone eat dozens of stone rice, if it is according to this grain price, it will not take ten years to send it down, and the minister will have to drag his family to the emperor to rub the rice, which also means that the minister is a first-class official, if it is a seven-grade official? A month's salary is only seven taels, and they can't even afford to buy a stone of rice, so they have five buckets, whose house is not a dozen people, and after a month, why can't they have two stone rice, how can you let them live? The officials can't eat, let alone those small people, their monthly income is only a few dollars of silver, some of them are old and some are young, let me ask the princess, how do you let them live? With such a price of rice, within a month, I am afraid that there will be starving bones everywhere in Beijing."

Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road has frozen bones, this sentence is not bad at all, Princess Ningde has been pampered until the end of the night, she has never taken fifteen taels of silver seriously, Yue Su said the price of rice before, he didn't take it to heart at all, now after listening to Yue Su's words, he is really a little confused, it seems to be the case, Yue Su's monthly salary is only eighty-seven taels, if this grain is fifteen taels and one stone, it is indeed a bit expensive This rice price is outrageously expensive for a seven-grade official

Zhang Yan was born in a small family, and she had probably heard the meaning of Yue Su's words before, so she just asked Yue Su to continue to say that she nodded slightly now and said, "Qing family, the price of this rice is indeed a bit expensive."

Princess Ningde listened to the Queen Mother's tone, and seemed to be a little towards Yue Su, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the price of this rice is a little expensive, but what is the relationship with the horse, not to mention that it is enough to destroy the horse family."

"Princess, the minister will tell you now, it is not enough to destroy the Guangenbo family" Yue Su raised his voice, and said to Zhu Ciyan: "Your Majesty, now there are Jurchens peeping into the Central Plains outside, and there are rogues raging inside, and there is a great drought inside, and the people are hungry, why do the rogues kill more and more, it is really the people who are forced to make a living They think that if they don't rebel, they will starve to death, and if they rebel, they may die, but there may be a bite to eat, so the rogues have not been able to completely exterminate At the time of the national disaster, many illegal profiteers, hoarding and taking the opportunity to raise the price of rice, Only trying to fill their own pockets, regardless of the life and death of the people, regardless of the court's country, more and more people who can't eat, for the sake of livelihood, there are more and more people who take risks, and at the feet of the son, the illegal profiteers still dare to raise the price of rice at will, regardless of the rise and fall of the premature down, not to mention other places and Guangenbo, as a noble of the imperial court, when the country is in trouble, he should think about the safety of the imperial court, but he, disregarding the emperor's grace, for his own selfish interests, raising the price of rice, to the life and death of the people, to the safety of the community, Shouldn't we be killed? You know, in the long run, don't say that the liukou can't be pacified, the people have no food to eat, even if I wait for the court officials, I will starve to death in front of Your Majesty."

The little emperor didn't know what to do when Yue Su's sonorous words were said, and he didn't particularly understand what Yue Su meant, but Princess Ningde understood that Yue Su's "vain care of Junen" alone was enough for her mother-in-law to drink a pot, don't say it, don't say that the back "disregard for the safety of the community"

She was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother...... Minister...... The minister didn't tell Yue Da to enter, and after the minister returned to the house, he must, he must reprimand the horse well, and he thought about it behind closed doors at home......"

Zhang Yan glanced at Princess Ningde and said, "Princess, hurry up."

"Empress Dowager Xie......" Princess Ningde stood up

"Even so, you just step back first, remember what you said, and let the pony do what you want," Zhang Yan said coldly

"Yes, yes...... The minister obeyed the order...... "Princess Ningde didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated

When she came out of the Yuteng room, Zhang Yan looked at Yue Su again and said, "Yue Qing's house, sit down quickly"

"Empress Dowager Xie" Yue Su returned to the chair and sat down

"What the Qing family said is good, but the concubine is the sister-in-law of the first emperor after all, I think the most important thing in front of me is not his business, but the matter of the price of rice, according to the Qing family, such a high price of rice, officials can't afford it, don't say it's ordinary people, the Qing family thinks, how should this matter be handled?" Zhang Yan is also scheming, she first understated Liu Youfu's matter, and then talked about the price of rice

Yue Su naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant, and he didn't plan to really destroy the Liu family, and in this Beijing city, there were more than Liu Ji rice shops who raised the price of rice

"Queen Mother, the current price of rice is indeed too high, if you want to control it, it is really not easy to do the drought in the north, in Henan, the rogue is raging, merchants want to transport rice to the capital, it takes several twists and turns, and it takes a lot of hard work, invisibly, the cost of grain has doubled the business income and profit, if there is no profit, how can you risk transporting the grain to Beijing" Yue Su said with a little embarrassment

"That's true, but even if the cost increases, it can't be so expensive, this is called how the people live, otherwise, the court decrees to limit the price of grain, once the price of rice is higher than the court limit, it will be raided and destroyed, what does Aiqing think?" Zhang Yan said

Yue Su shook his head and said: "Queen Mother, it's a bit inappropriate to do this, now that the grain is in business, the imperial court has limited prices, it is very likely that they will hoard the grain, or no longer transport it to the north, so that those who can't eat will have more income The current situation is turbulent, and it is inconvenient for the imperial court to touch them, otherwise it is the people who suffer."

"It's not okay for them to raise the price of rice casually, and it is not okay to limit the price of rice, what can I do?" The country belongs to her son, how can Zhang Yan not be in a hurry, she also understands that if it goes on like this for a long time, when the people can't eat, there will be rogue everywhere, but anything that will shake her son's country cannot be allowed to continue

"Queen Mother, at the moment, for the sake of today's plan, the imperial court can only compromise and cooperate with Shangjin to stabilize the price of rice," Yue Su said earnestly

"Aiqing, how do you cooperate?" Zhang Yan hurriedly asked

"If you forcibly let the merchants lower the price of rice, the imperial court will all fail to enter the merchants, and it doesn't hurt in normal times, but now it won't work, and the imperial court can only find merchants to cooperate, and through negotiation, they would rather lose money than push the price of rice to the original price, so as to stabilize the situation" Yue Su said solemnly

"Let Shangjin lose money and push the price of rice to the original price, then Shangjin has always been profit-seeking, can you agree?" Zhang Yan said in disbelief

"If you find a whole business to cooperate, naturally it will not work, but the imperial court can find a few big businessmen to cooperate, let them come forward, control the price of rice, it is really not possible, just allow them to use the right of grain monopoly The court wants to control the business income of the young people, it is too difficult, but if only a few, it is relatively easy to give them the right to sell grain, whether it is in peacetime or in turmoil, only they are allowed to sell grain, and the price is according to the previous price, now it seems that it may not be profitable, but with this promise of the imperial court, and this will, For long-term consideration, it is equivalent to holding a golden job, no matter how you say it, there are still many more businessmen in the days when the wind and rain are smooth and peaceful, and they are all colluding officials, but who doesn't know, no matter how big the official is, where can it be compared to cooperating with the emperor? Yue Su said openly and honestly

In fact, the price of rice is rising, Yue Dajin also knows, these days, he has been studying with Jiang Jie, how to curb the price of rice, think about it, and only come up with such a feasible method, this method is to put it bluntly, it is called the state to support business, and the businessman monopolizes the operation
