"Hey!"

"It's a bit bold."

A few days later, the palace of the Phoenix.

Looking at the confession in his hand, and looking up at Xiao He, who personally sent the confession, Liu Ying's face actually swelled up with a little banter.

"Xiao Xiang thinks that if the thief works this strategy, Guanzhong can be a big mess?"

Seeing Xiao He hearing this, he only nodded slightly with palpitations.

"The grain obtained in Guanzhong last year was almost all in the hands of Mi Jia, a grain merchant in Guanzhong."

"If the grain in the hands of this generation is all sunk in Jing and Weiershui, I am afraid that this year will be in Guanzhong, and there will be a shortage of raw food!"

"Prices are boiling and people are not making a living, but it is still secondary; If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that in the middle of the pass, there should also be a mutiny among the soldiers and the division of the county and county. ”

"Your Majesty's army is outside, and you need millions of stone of military food every month to ······"

Speaking of this, Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief in fear, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"In this way, what the family says is true."

"——Farmer, the country's capital; The grain is also the important weapon of the country. ”

"Such a heavy weapon should not be in the hands of those who run the last business and make profits······

Seeing Xiao He admit with a bitter face that 'grain should not be in the hands of merchants', Liu Ying couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

The real situation is naturally not as bad as Xiao He said.

Let's just say that this time, the grain merchants in Guanzhong, led by the Chiyang Qian clan, tried to 'throw all the grain into the river to cause a grain shortage in Guanzhong', which was impossible to succeed at all.

It is not that the Han family's control over the grassroots has been strong enough to make a rapid emergency response to similar incidents, but for food, a vital strategic resource, the Han court has paid enough attention to it.

Before and after the autumn harvest, grain merchants went to the end of the village and waved copper coins to buy grain from the people.

As for grain merchants to build warehouses and store grain privately, and to transport grain to the market for sale, the government has no reason to interfere.

Whether it is buying or selling, as long as the money and goods are clear, and Tong Suo is not a deceptive transaction, the government has no reason to intervene.

However, if one day, a certain grain merchant transports 10,000 stones, or even 100,000 stones, to non-markets and granaries, let alone the Chang'an court or the local government, the people along the way will go to the yamen to report it as soon as possible.

- Food, that's a necessary material for a rebellion!

However, as long as the grain reaches a certain order of magnitude, its trend will inevitably receive great attention and attention from the central government of the Han Dynasty!

Not to mention taking the grain to the shores of Weishui and Jingshui, and throwing it all down to feed the fish, even if it is 50,000 or 100,000 stone of grain transferred from their own granary, the local government will inevitably come to the door and issue soul torture.

Why do you transfer so much food?

Where's the transfer?

To whom?

It's good that these problems can be explained clearly, at most, if you are knocked on by the magistrate for 'filial piety', you can get a sentence of 'not taking an example'.

If it is not clear, then, needless to say, the grain will naturally be confiscated and confiscated; As for his life, it depends on Ting Weiqing, whether he was in a good mood when he received the case.

To put it simply: even without the ban issued by Xiao He (Liu Ying) on prohibiting merchants from storing, buying, and selling grain, the Han family's attention to grain is already the same as that of some controlled materials in later generations.

Namely: you buy, you can;

You sell, too;

You save, and it's still fine.

But if you are lucky, you have to report to the yamen, you have to go to the police station for the record, and you have to lead the approval of the slip.

Under such circumstances, the calculation of the grain merchants in Guanzhong to create a grain shortage in Guanzhong will inevitably be impossible.

- How much grain is there in Guanzhong today?

Needless to say, let's just say that now in Guanzhong, there are more than 900,000 households and more than 5 million people, and the food consumption is more than 10,000 stone just for food a year!

If we count from the output, these more than 900,000 peasant households, each family has 100 acres of land, and each mu produces more than 2 stone of grain, and the annual grain output in Guanzhong is nearly 20,000 stone!

Now, March is approaching, spring is just around the corner, and there is still nearly half a year before the autumn harvest.

According to the consumption of more than 5 million people in Guanzhong in half a year, there should be at least 50 million stone grain in the hands of grain merchants in Guanzhong!

Put all 50 million stone grain into Weishui and Jingshui?

- Not to mention 50 million stones, it is 50 stones of grain, converted to the weights and measures of later generations, it is the size of one cubic meter, nearly 700 kilograms!

The volume of 500,000 stone of grain, that is, 10,000 cubic meters, is piled up on a football field, and it has to be piled as high as an adult!

50 million stone grain, all put into Weishui, Jingshui, that is only a few tens of zhang of the river?

If you really want to do this, whether it is Jingshui or Weishui, it will inevitably block the embankment!

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you really let this group of second goods who don't know whether they are alive or dead throw all the grain in the pass into the river and run away, who will be responsible for this result?

Who will bear the consequences?

Regardless of whether the world is in chaos because of this, the first to be pulled out and beheaded must be these second goods.

After the incident subsides, it is natural that the whole world will jointly play the Son of Heaven: Your Majesty, these merchants are too bad, and we can't let them take care of our food anymore~

After that, it was naturally Liu Bang, the son of heaven, who said logically: Well, that's true, you can't let businessmen do this kind of hurtful thing!

Oh, that's right!

Did the prince say that the grain should be managed by the Shaofu?

Just right, let the prince do it!

If it goes well, Liu Ying can even take advantage of this to promote the political tradition of the Han family in one fell swoop's 'the prince is in charge of the Shaofu, and the main is concerned about the middle peasants and grain affairs'.

All in all, the 'clever plan' proposed by the grain merchants in Guanzhong not only failed to hurt Liu Ying's roots, but would promote the concept of 'grain official management', which quickly became the consensus of the world.

And now, although this group of second-class goods 'died before they got out of the school', just this plan that died under the iron fist of the Han dictatorship before it could be implemented was enough to promote the official seal of grain for Liu Ying and step on the accelerator fiercely.

Liu Ying also understood in her heart that although Xiao He said that 'it was so dangerous, it almost made this group of second-class goods mess up the world', but in fact, Xiao He also knew very well that there was almost no feasibility in this matter.

But even so, it did not affect Xiao He to change his opinion by such an absurd 'conspiracy'.

Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile slightly, and returned the book of confessions that recorded the 'monstrous conspiracy' in his hand to Xiao He.

"In such a conspiracy, the rebellious ministers and thieves in the chaos, Xiao Xiang thinks, how to deal with it?"

Hearing Liu Ying's slightly tentative question, Xiao He only shook his head with a wry smile and bowed his hand to Liu Ying.

"The minister is here, and I want to use this matter, please show the family ······"

Seeing Xiao He say this with a deep meaning on his face, Liu Ying saw Xiao He's vague overture, so she smiled and nodded, and immediately thought about it.

After a while, I saw that Liu Ying seemed to have not made up her mind, and leaned forward her upper body slightly with a little weakness.

"The Qian family and the Zhang family at the head think that their hearts can be punished!"

"Such a profiteer who won the slam will be deeply involved in the case of the Changling Tian clan, or even the accomplice of the assassination of Gu in the past!"

"These two are based on the story of the Changlingtian clan······"

"What does Xiao Xiang think?"

With a slightly weak tone, Liu Ying pretended to be uneasy, and stared at the depths of Xiao He's gaze without a trace.

Sure enough, as Liu Ying expected: when he heard the 'story of the Yi Changling Tian clan', the corners of Xiao He's mouth twitched visibly with the naked eye!

But after that, Xiao He did not persuade Liu Ying to 'supervise the prince of the country, it is inconvenient to show the face of murder in the world', as Liu Ying expected, but in the blink of an eye, he recovered his previous indifferent and slightly deferential expression.

"Minister, obey the orders of the family······"

Just this sentence provoked Liu Ying to raise her head in surprise, and even widened her eyes slightly!

After a while, Liu Ying finally nodded with a smile and gave Xiao He a silent hand.

——The price of grain in Guanzhong is about to boil, Xiao He, there is really no way to deal with it······

If the response is not done properly, and a tragedy similar to 'Yizi cannibalism' is really brewed in Guanzhong, then as the prince of the prison country, Liu Ying will naturally be to blame.

But no matter what, Liu Ying, the 'prince of the prison country', is still just a child who has not yet been crowned······

is underage, does not actually control the power of the court, and has the identity of the prince, the credit of renovating Zheng Guoqu, coupled with the protection of the old lady Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying is gone, that is, a 'storage position is unstable'.

Even this 'instability' is likely to be temporarily unstable in the end, and it will not cause any substantial damage to Liu Ying.

And Xiao He, as the head of the courtiers and hundreds of officials, the prime minister who actually controls the government, and the 'first marquis of the founding of the country', no matter what happens in Guanzhong, Xiao He is the natural first person responsible.

If this year, Guanzhong is really the result of boiling food prices and boiling public resentment because of Xiao He's 'inaction', then Xiao He's best ending is also 'suicide attempt, blame the old'.

In this way, Xiao He surprisingly showed a 'obedient' attitude to Liu Ying, which was predictable.

Thinking of this, Liu Ying also breathed a sigh of relief with a relaxed face, and smiled at Xiao He and nodded.

"The first evil will be punished, and the rest will be forgiven."

"And now, more than half of those who have conspired with the Qian family have sold all the rice and grain and Shaofu to make their ambitions clear."

"That is, except for Qian, Zhang Er's, the surplus grain merchant, and Mi Jia, all of them have no misdeeds, so they are not guilty······"

"There are still three days before the 'first day of the third month of the first month' limited by Xiao Xiang, and after three days, we will discuss the sins of this generation."

"If they obey the order and sell all the rice and grain to Shaofu, they will be forgiven for the time being."

"If you don't obey, then follow the rule of law of the country."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying's gaze at Xiao He also showed a little kindness.

"and Duchenne ······"

"But instead of following the thief's scheme, he sued the thief Yu Tingwei, not only is he not guilty, but he should also show his merits!"

"Lonely, give Du Shi ten catties of gold and a piece of cloth to show his righteousness?"

Saying that, Liu Ying did not forget to pretend to be tangled, and muttered to herself: "If it weren't for the Du family's businessman, the lone book would still invite his father and the emperor, and the son of the Du family would be alone, thinking that the palace attendant ······."

Hearing Liu Ying's profound 'self-talk', Xiao He only felt at ease, and arched his hand with a light smile.

"The family disposes of it like this, and the minister thinks that it is very appropriate······"

Expressing his approval of Liu Ying's arrangement of 'slaughtering money, Chang Er's family, pardoning the remnants, and showing Du's merits', Xiao He can be silent for a while, and he will finally be euphemistic.

"In this way, Mijia, a grain merchant in Guanzhong, should be eliminated."

"In the matter of the price of grain in Guanzhong, what plan can the family have?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying smiled and waved her hand with a relaxed smile.

"In this matter, Xiao Xiang can worry about it."

"Lonely has ordered Shaofu: collect all the grain stored by the grain merchant Mi Jia and sell it in the grain market in the south of Chang'an!"

"In addition, in various places in Guanzhong, a grain market is set up with 'one place within a radius of fifty miles', and two thousand dollars of stone are used to sell grain at a low price to the people of Guanzhong!"

"In this way, the price of grain in Guanzhong is self-leveling."

"After the autumn, and in the future, the goods and sales of grain and rice in Guanzhong, Lone still wants to conspire with Xiao Xiang to promote the official business of grain and rice······"

Hearing that Liu Ying finally stopped hiding it and said the words 'grain and rice official camp', Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then, from a professional point of view, Xiao He put all the preparations that needed to be made and the problems that could be encountered in front of Liu Ying.

"If you want to use Shaofu to specialize in the grain and rice in Guanzhong, the minister thinks that the family is fooled by the following three things, and he will make plans early."

"One: If you want to specialize in grain and rice, Shaofu Bento should buy all the grain obtained by the people in Guanzhong after the autumn harvest."

"According to the past, the amount of grain and rice produced by Guanzhong in the past year was less than 180 million stones."

"At this age, the family will repair the Zhengguo Canal, and Weibei will have a bumper harvest; In this way, Guanzhong's autumn harvest this year deserves 20,000 stones of grain and rice. ”

"These 20,000 stones, the agricultural tax can take 15 million stones, and the mouth of the government is less into the mouth, and millions of stones can be converted into grain."

"There are more than 180,000,000 stones, and the people should keep half of them for winter food."

"In this way, if Shaofu wants to specialize in Guanzhong grain and rice, he should have enough rice and 90 million stone to make the trip."

Speaking of this, Xiao He only frowned slightly, and his face quietly brought a little embarrassment.

"Second, it is 90 million stones of grain purchased, and a warehouse needs to be built to store it."

"Today's Shaofu, there are only five or six granaries, and there are no more than 10 million stones of grain to store; and the state treasury, although there are more than ten granaries, which can store 20 million stones of grain, but the granaries of the treasury are used for the storage of agricultural taxes. ”

"If you want to save 90 million stones in the granary, you should build dozens of new warehouses at home, or even nearly 100."

"You Shaofu specializes in Guanzhong grain and rice, and sells grain in various parts of Guanzhong; Therefore, there are dozens and hundreds of granaries, which are all over Guanzhong, and it is convenient (biàn) appropriate. ”

"In this way, the money and grain needed to build a warehouse are even more ······"

Speaking of this, Xiao He finally looked at Liu Ying with doubts on his face.

"The family wants to make Shaofu specialize in Guanzhong grain and rice, and the minister thinks he is good."

"However, the cost of purchasing grain and rice is 90 million stones, and the cost of building dozens of warehouses ······"

"Dare to ask home, where did you come from?"

Hearing Xiao He's question, Liu Ying only nodded with a chuckle, and was about to open his mouth to answer, when he saw a figure galloping in, panting and kneeling in the center of the hall.

"Hey, Your Highness!"

"Your Majesty sent an envoy to deliver an edict!"

"At this moment, the angel has come to the outer !! of the womb"
