Just these few words made Duan Jingyi cast a strange gaze.

"What's wrong?" Tang Meng subconsciously touched whether there was anything dirty on his face, and silently muttered in his heart, Duan Jingyi, sure enough, the whole person has been weird recently.

Naturally, she wouldn't know that Duan Jingyi looked at her like this because she was surprised.

Tang Meng's thoughts on the drought coincided with Duan Jingyi.

Duan Jingyi took the paper in her hand, and saw that except for the boxy squares, there were crooked symbols.

He frowned, "What is this?" ”

Tang Meng leaned over and pointed to a certain place with his crystal fingertips and spoke, "This is Los Angeles, this is Pancheng, this is Pingcheng, what connects them is the official road, and this is the post station." ”

Duan Jingyi looked at Tang Meng, who was full of interest, and then looked at the identical square in his hand, "So what?" ”

"Haven't you seen it so obvious," Tang Meng pointed to a few of the crossroads, "What do you think of building a granary here?" ”

"The main cities are equipped with granaries, so why build more."

Without waiting for Duan Jingyi to push the paper away, Tang Meng immediately pressed his hand.

Duan Jingyi looked at the small hand covering his hand, and only felt a little cold, and subconsciously wanted to hold it in the palm of his hand, but he still held back.

Tang Meng didn't notice it at all, shook his head and said, "No, this granary is not the other granary!" ”

She sat on Duan Jingyi's desk, "In addition to paying taxes, the people who have land also have to pay a part of the grain in proportion to fill the granary, and the grain will be in the hands of the local parent officials, but in fact, the Tiangao Emperor is far from having no one to take care of them, so you are not afraid that these officials will secretly sell the grain?" When there is a real drought, the prefect will not be able to allocate grain, and such a granary will be of no use except for the benefits of the prefect. ”

Tang Meng was very right, according to the report from the dark guard, this is the case in Los Angeles right now.

Moreover, Duan Jingyi knew the capacity of the granaries in various places and the approximate amount of grain handed over by the people, even if the grain was not embezzled by the prefect, there were great drawbacks.

For example, when there is no drought, these grains are not cared for all year round, and they are inevitably eaten by insects and rats, which not only lose quantity, but also easily cause diseases when using grain.

However, in the event of a drought, the grain in the granary alone will not last long, and it is necessary to transfer grain from afar or from the national treasury for disaster relief.

Tang Mengyi saw that Duan Jingyi's expression was a little relaxed, and he quietly added, "Do you know, because of this drought, even the rice and noodles in the imperial city are much more expensive, and the people are afraid that the disaster will not be controlled, so they are stockpiling food at home." ”

He looked up, his eyes deep, "How do you want to build a granary?" ”

Tang Meng showed eight small teeth with satisfaction, and stretched out his little hand, "Knowledge is paid, one hundred taels." ”

"Yes, you say first, if it really works, this king will never break his word."

"This doesn't count, you're just an old fox," Tang Meng pulled his warm palm and put his little finger on his little finger, "It's only a hook!" ”

Tang Meng had words in his mouth, and there were childish movements in his hands, and he didn't notice that Duan Jingyi on the other side had already changed his eyes.

He looked at the naïve and serious person in front of him, and an emotion that even he couldn't understand in his heart rippled in his heart, especially when she held his hand again and again.

Duan Jingyi's emotions encouraged him to grasp Tang Meng's hand.

"What's wrong?"

"You—you get down to business."

Tang Meng spoke, "That's why I said that I want to build a granary, but it will not be managed by the government and will be managed by the people." ”

"What do you mean?"

"You see, there are only a few cities with high grain production, and the grain in the hands of the people will be sold in time after paying the tax grain, and they will all become individual households, and their strength is insignificant, if the harvest is good, they will have to worry that the grain cannot be sold at the price, and if there is a drought, it will be difficult to even make a living, and our granary is located on the main road connected by several cities, and the price is set according to the harvest every year, and it is bought directly from the people."

Duan Jingyi's eyebrows were soothing, and he said, "If the price is set higher than the market in a good year, the people are naturally willing to sell to the granary and the distance is convenient. ”

"Not bad! After the grain is harvested, it is transported by the government to other cities that do not produce grain as reserve grain, so that most of the retail households are concentrated, and the government gives some subsidies to the granary in the good year, and the silver earned in the disaster year belongs to the granary owner himself, which is a sure business without losing money, and someone must rush to do it. ”

For the first time, Duan Jingyi unabashedly showed a look of surprise and appreciation.

Tang Meng was really completely different from before, and this ingenious mind alone was enough to embarrass many important ministers.

If this plan is really implemented, then the government only needs to send the carriage and horses and specify the purchase price for the season, and the granary owner will share all the work of purchasing management and sales, and the people will be able to guarantee their annual income.

The key is that in the event of a drought, other nearby granaries can help the disaster area in time without having to move the national treasury, and even if the subsidy money issued by the government is included, it will save much less than the occasional appropriation for disaster relief.

Sure enough, it's a brilliant idea!

"How about it, this hundred taels of flowers is not wronged."

Duan Jingyi immediately asked the housekeeper to take the silver ticket and hand it to Tang Meng, but she was so beautiful that she carefully hid the money in the back of her clothes, "Okay, you can figure out the rest of the details yourself, I'm going to eat after a busy morning!" ”

Tang Menggang happily went out and immediately turned back.

I almost forgot about him.

Duan Jingyi has often nested in the study these days, and he doesn't know what to eat for each meal, but now that Tang Meng has promised Mama Wang, he naturally has to take care of him.

She pulled Duan Jingyi's arm, "Let's go, let's eat together, it's not good for you to eat on time." ”

Duan Jingyi's eyes fell on the hands of the two of them again, Tang Meng seemed to be too active today, although he didn't know what her purpose was, Duan Jingyi was a little fond of the feeling of being held hands.

He did not shy away from being held by Tang Meng, walking all the way through the corridor and bypassing the garden before arriving at the Dream Garden.

The dignified princess actually pulled the prince's hand in broad daylight!

The little girls are red and red-eared.

Until the two of them sat at the dining table, Duan Jingyi didn't let go of her hand, but Tang Meng unconsciously withdrew his hand, and then personally filled a bowl of soup and put it in front of Duan Jingyi.

"Eat, I'm starving!"

Duan Jingyi looked at the suddenly empty palm and frowned unconsciously, what is she? Isn't she so active to win her own favor?

Seeing that he didn't move, Tang Meng gave him another chopsticks, vegetables and fish.

"Eat."

Duan Jingyi raised his eyes and looked at the unconscious person in front of him and said, "Come here." ”

Tang Meng was dazed, and then without waiting for her to react, Duan Jingyi pulled her and the stool to a position very close to him.

Tang Meng was taken aback, "What are you doing?" ”

"Nothing, eat."

Tang Meng was inexplicably confused, and she even suspected that Duan Jingyi not only had a physical problem, but also that her brain should take a good look.

Duan Jingyi finished the meal in front of him unhurriedly, feeling the originally slightly cool little body around him getting warmer and warmer, and he only felt satisfied.

……

Bai Lingchen on the other side flew into the mansion of the second prince Duan Jingxun without a moment, and told everything that happened in the morning.

Duan Jingxun was furious at that time.

"Ignorant woman! Unexpectedly, such a top secret was told to a god stick! Someone! Two personal guards appeared in front of Duan Jingxun in response, "Have you ever recognized Meng Xiangtian's concubine Shen family?" ”

"I know, Lord Wang, you are going to take her..."The guard was clever, and when he saw Duan Jingxun's displeasured face, he immediately made a killing gesture.

Duan Jingxun nodded, "Be secretive, don't let people see it, and also, tell the people in Los Angeles that Feng Qian can't stay and must be eliminated quickly." ”

"Yes!"

Duan Jingxun was still a little uneasy in his heart, "White envoy, Duan Jingyi has already found out Meng Xiangtian, it's hard to guarantee that he won't find out the secret of the flower boat, when will the second batch of poisoners be prepared?" ”

The corners of Bai Lingchen's eyes were sarcastic, "Lord Xun is too anxious, didn't he just give you a batch a few days ago?" We'll have to wait a little longer. ”

"Please hurry up, be sure to put Duan Jingyi to death as soon as possible!"
