Chapter 399: Economic Crisis

Ziyang said: "Hehe, I want to too, but now is not the time, these muskets are reserved for your self-defense on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are used to help you deal with crises, remember, you must use them carefully." /.Qb(5), cOМ Also, transport all the captured demon army skeletons to Lanyue City, I am useful, and our soldiers who died in battle must also be transferred to the rear for burial as soon as possible, so as not to give the demon army a chance to devour them. I'll go back to Lanyue City first, there are still things to deal with, if the situation is critical, I'll rush over again, and I'll leave it to you here, you have to defend as much as possible, the longer you stay, the better it will be for us." ”

After Ziyang explains, he will arrive at Lanyue City.

The reason why Ziyang did not agree to Zhu Qi's request to establish a special musket team was because Ziyang was afraid that these equipment would fall into the hands of the demon army, besides, in this case, there was no need to form it, Ziyang just wanted to consume the strength of the demon army there, and did not want to completely annihilate the demon army there, Ziyang had another plan.

As soon as Ziyang came to Lanyue City, he summoned Ziyun, Zhuge Mou, and Xueying to learn about the establishment of the Purple Blood Academy.

Zhuge Mou said: "Your Majesty, the school has been built, but the conditions are extremely difficult, and we can't improve many facilities, plus, the economic situation of our empire at this time is extremely bad, and now the treasury is empty, and a lot of military salaries are owed, not to mention taking out silver taels to build the school." ”

Ziyang said: "The treasury is empty, isn't it, isn't our money very sufficient? How can it be empty? Didn't the queen give you a lot of money before? Also, the original Ziyun Pavilion also stored a lot of money, and if there is a lot of money, it can't be spent, how can it be empty?"

When Zhuge Mou heard Ziyang say this, he was about to cry and said: " Your Majesty is right, Ziyun Pavilion is storing a lot of money, but, a large number of population migration, hundreds of millions of soldiers, horses and military salaries, these all need money, Ziyun Pavilion's money has been exhausted a month ago, only a little liquidity remains, if you take money from Ziyun Pavilion, I'm afraid Ziyun Pavilion will go bankrupt, and now, our grain and grass are also lacking, although Your Majesty brought back some grain and grass, but this year, the sky is not beautiful, there are large-scale floods in the south, hail and strong winds and sand in the west, the grain production of the entire empire is less than one-third of the original, plus, we have hundreds of millions of soldiers in front, they consume more than just grain and grass, and military salaries, without military salaries, there will be mutiny. ”

When Ziyang heard this, his head suddenly became bigger, usually, he didn't care about these small things, they were all handed over to Piaoxue to deal with, although he was constantly storing grain and grass in Zixu City, even if there was no problem with grain and grass, but, where to get so many silver taels, silver would not automatically grow in the ground.

Ziyang heard Zhuge Mou's report and said, "If you encountered this situation before, how would you deal with it?"

Zhuge Mou said: "I usually ask the queen to solve it, but now that the queen is no longer there, and His Majesty is not here, I can only drag it out, no way, and now there is a famine everywhere in the country, and I am so worried." ”

Ziyang said, "You tell me, where is the silver tael?"

Zhuge Mou said: "Those rich people have silver taels in their hands, but we can't rob them, besides, the last food crisis has bankrupted a large number of rich households." ”

Ziyang said with some confusion: "This thing is not quite right, the queen took out all the savings of the original Ziyun Pavilion, so where did these silver taels flow?"

Zhuge Mou said: "Most of those silver taels have been paid military salaries, but these military salaries have been deposited in the Ziyun Pavilion by the soldiers, and they have become dead money again, and we can't use these money, once they are used, it may cause an economic crisis." ”

Ziyang asked, "What kind of crisis is it caused?"

Zhuge Mou said: "Your Majesty, now that there is a shortage of food in the country, the price of grain has risen sharply, and the families of those soldiers have begun to withdraw silver taels from Ziyun Pavilion to buy grain to prevent the price of grain from rising further. If we use this money from Ziyun Pavilion, I am afraid that after those depositors can't get the money, it will lead to the bankruptcy of Ziyun Pavilion, which will lead to an economic crisis. ”

Ziyang said: "Hehe, how many soldiers' families have begun to withdraw silver taels now?"

Zhuge Mou said: "At present, the domestic stock is enough to last for a period of time, but the price of grain has risen, and with the rise of grain prices, it is estimated that more silver taels will be withdrawn." ”

Ziyang thought for a while and said: "So that's the case, that's good, when the price of grain rises to five times the original amount, we will give Ziyun Pavilion a large batch of grain, and use it as a mortgage to mortgage some silver taels, so that we can make a lot of money, and the money for military salaries will be available." ”

Zhuge Mou said: "Your Majesty, the price of grain is five times, and in this way, a large number of people will starve to death. ”

Ziyang said: "Hehe, you set up some porridge shacks in various cities to maintain the basic living needs of those poor people, and temporarily survive this difficulty. ”

Zhuge Mou said: "Your Majesty, this is not a long-term solution, besides, our current military rations are also starting to be tight, where can we get so much food?"

Ziyang said: "You don't have to worry about the food problem, I'll get it, but what I need you to do now is how to make a fortune and solve our financial difficulties." ”

Zhuge Mou said: "What about military salaries? Even if we can solve this crisis this time, the huge military salaries are still a problem, and we can't rely on this method to pay military salaries." ”

Ziyang said: "All military salaries have been suspended, and the daily food needs of all soldiers' families have been paid by the state and distributed on a monthly basis, so that our financial pressure has been greatly reduced." And with the current situation of cheap silver and expensive grain, I believe that most soldiers are still willing. However, you have to calculate for me that the price of grain in the market should always be maintained at five times the original level, even in good years, and only in this way can our strategy of exchanging grain for wages be effective. ”

Zhuge Mou said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that it will suffer those poor people. ”

Ziyang said: "No, there will be disasters this year, if there is a good year, those people will have more food in their hands, so that in the case of higher food prices, their lives will be better." ”

Zhuge Mou said: "If you want to achieve Your Majesty's kind of maintenance of high grain prices, you must impose heavy taxes on the people's grain, so that it can be realized. ”

Ziyang said: "Then you won't adjust it through administrative means? Let them keep enough food for themselves, and confiscate all the rest, how can you be so rigid and can't use your brains, where is your ingenuity?"

Zhuge Mou smiled bitterly and said: "If the people of the whole country have grain to eat, how to raise the price of grain to five times the original amount is against the law of the market." ”

Ziyang said angrily: "You are so fucking stupid, by imposing heavy taxes on grain sales and regulating the circulation of grain in the market, won't the price of grain go up? You even want me to teach you this fucking thing, let me tell you, if you can't do it at this time, don't be your prime minister." ”

Ziyang actually swore a lot at this time, which made Ziyun and Xueying stunned.

In fact, as soon as Ziyang came to the Ziyuan Continent, he had not yet come to his senses, and there was depressing news everywhere, either the difficulties or the shortages, which made Ziyang feel that fighting this battle was full of difficulties, and his self-confidence was hit little by little.

Ziyang took out the grain and seafood filled with three warehouses from Zixu City, including 20 billion stone of grain and 10 billion stone of seafood, and handed them to Zhuge Mou.

scolded again: "I gave you enough food and grass, and if I can't solve the problem, I'll kick your head like a ball." Just run errands, and, after a while, if the Purple Blood Academy hasn't improved, you don't want to see me again, and I don't want to see you. ”

Ziyang was in a depressed mood at this time, and originally wanted to talk to Ziyun and Xueying about things, but the situation reported by Zhuge Mou just now was angry, and he was not in the mood at all, and looked at the two of them, and said impatiently: "You two should get out of here, don't bother me if you don't have anything important." ”

The three of them saw that Ziyang was in a bad mood at this time, so they hurriedly fled, even Ziyun didn't dare to provoke Ziyang at this time.

After the three of them left, Ziyang began to check the Xuantian Ring, but he didn't find much gold and silver, the gold and silver obtained were all handed over to Piaoxue for safekeeping, and now he was embarrassed to ask Piaoxue for silver, so he had to let Zhuge Mou find a way to take the food.

In fact, Piaoxue still has a large amount of gold and silver, which can fully support the entire empire's need for silver, but Piaoxue was driven into the Ruyi space by Ziyang, and the two of them are now in a cold war, with Ziyang's current temper, they will definitely not take the initiative to ask Piaoxue for money.

Sometimes the things of this time are very strange, saying that when good things come, a series of good things are coming, if bad luck comes, a series of bad things will continue to attack, the so-called disaster is not a single line may be a series of bad things attack, Ziyang is now a disaster is not a single line, the more bottomless the heart, the more bad things will be, the more troublesome things will be.

Ziyang sulked for a while, and carefully checked the Xuantian Ring, originally wanted to look for it to see if there were purple spirit stones in the treasure house, if the purple spirit stones could be found, it would be a big profit, but, sadly, Ziyang did not find any purple spirit stones.

Ziyang came to Zhuxin in a huff, the current Ziyang is too annoying, I want to relax and rest.

Zhu Xin hadn't seen Ziyang for nearly half a year, and she missed Ziyang very much, and when she saw Ziyang walking towards her, she greeted her from afar.

Ziyang saw the joyful Zhu Xin, and the troubles in his heart were also eliminated a lot, and he knew in his heart that a good show and a big drama were coming to him.

What kind of drama was that?
