Chapter 162 A good way to drop food prices and kill three birds with one stone

After Wan Sanqian finished speaking, both the First Emperor and the Deputy Commander of the Shaofu looked at him strangely.

Nowadays, the price of silver is almost twenty times higher than that of gold, even at the current price of grain, exchanging silver for gold and adding more than a million stone of grain is just a flat, why is this newly appointed deputy commander of the Shaofu looking proud.

Thinking of a possibility, the First Emperor's face suddenly showed a sense of playfulness, if his guess was true, it would be fun in the future, but he still instructed Zhao Wendao: "In the future, the reward in the army will be mainly gold, and many people in the army will keep the emperor's reward or even worship it at home!" ”

"Erchen has written it down!" Zhao Wen nodded slightly, knowing that the First Emperor must have seen that there was a problem with the price of gold and silver, this was indeed his mistake, if someone was really reluctant to spend it and keep it, I am afraid that the future price changes would be able to make people go crazy.

And the deputy commander of the Shaofu has already decided in his heart that the first thing he will do after returning home is to exchange all the silver in the family for gold, although he doesn't know the reason, but just looking at the tone of His Majesty and Wan Sanqian, there is definitely a problem with silver.

"Now that the pumpkin has matured, all the labor food in Lishan, Longshouyuan and various projects has been replaced with pumpkins, and the amount of food is not regulated, you can eat as much as you can, the pumpkins I remember are not durable, the seeds are left, and the melon flesh is sold to the people at a low price!"

"The people of Qindi have been too bitter these years, since there is no shortage of food, it is time for them to have a full meal!"

A large number of pumpkins are sold in Shaofu farms, and the price is not even half of what the grain price did not rise before, the people of Qindi bought it and tasted it, the sweet taste, and it was very satisfying, although it could not be put for a long time after being taken by Shaofu, but it still quickly became the staple food of all the people in Qindi these days.

Some people who reacted quickly even took the opportunity to sell all the grain in their homes to the grain store, and then sold a large number of pumpkins to the countryside where the news was closed, and they made a lot of money one by one.

And the price of grain in the entire Qin land also plummeted instantly, and it was even about to be on par with the price of pumpkins.

"Can you hear clearly, the yield of pumpkins is really as the people in Shaofu said, with a yield of tens of thousands of catties per mu?" The spirit of the aristocratic family owners when they originally purchased grain had long since disappeared, and they feebly asked the family to listen to the disappeared slaves.

"The head of the family, there are pumpkin seeds in the seeds exchanged for Shaofu, and there are planting in the grange at home, I went to see it in person, the fields are densely packed, and the size of the pumpkins sold in Shaofu is not too much!" An old man in the family sighed dejectedly.

"In other words, my Daqin will not be short of food?" The aristocratic head remembered the grain he had purchased over the years, and his voice was already hoarse.

"There is no shortage, there are a lot of pumpkins planted in Shaofu, even if it is millions more, I am afraid that many new granaries will be built in various places this year to be able to load all this year's grain!" The old man sighed softly, the harvest of grain was a happy event, but he couldn't be happy anyway when he thought of the large amount of grain purchased at home.

"Let's go down!" The noble head waved lightly and motioned for everyone to stand back.

After the room was empty, he looked in the direction of the palace with resentment, and then shook his head with a bitter face.

He was sure that this must have been His Majesty's calculation, so that all the nobles and rich people jumped like clowns for a while, and then slapped them with a pumpkin with a thunderous slap.

"Between the monarch and the minister, why is this so!"

Some monetary losses are just a trivial matter, after all, although the price of grain collected in the later period is a little higher, the price of the grain sold in the early stage is also high, and there is not much loss in the calculation.

The nobles of the Great Qin Empire don't care about a little money the most.

But just this incident, it can be seen that His Majesty is extremely distrustful of the nobles of Great Qin, and even on guard.

Thinking that His Majesty vigorously reduced the number of Qin troops, the defenders of Hangu Pass were also transferred back to the Qin capital some time ago, and the 20,000 Qin troops guarding Hangu Pass were now replaced by 500 forbidden troops.

It is said that the next step is the Northwest Army and the Great Wall Army, which will also be replaced by the Forbidden Army.

It can be fully seen that His Majesty is going to replace the previous Qin army with the forbidden army, and eliminate all the generals in the original Qin army and the relationship formed by the military merit knighthood system.

If you change to an ordinary emperor, dare to do this, let alone leave the palace by decree, I am afraid that everyone will survive for a few days, which is completely opposed to all the nobles.

But thinking of the Jinyiwei and Dongchang under His Majesty's control today, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

In front of the gate of heaven, he can see clearly, there are tens of thousands of Jinyi guards, and there are thousands of people in Dongchang, all of whom can fly to the sky and escape to the earth, and they also have the right to cut first and then play, only these people can suppress all the subordinates.

What made him even more shocked was that His Majesty actually controlled a heavenly gate that could go to other worlds.

Now all the nobles have already thought that Jinyiwei and Dongchang must be the power that His Majesty brought back from other worlds, and even the gold and silver in His Majesty's hands as if they will never be spent, and even the gold and silver that the national grain endowment dares to be exempted from are probably brought back through the Heavenly Gate.

With such a treasure in his hands, now he is even worried about whether His Majesty will bring many civil servants and military generals from other worlds in the future, uu reading books and throwing aside all the courtiers of Great Qin now.

The new emperor's accession to the throne is the time when the power of the DPRK and China is renewed, if this step is backward, it will fall behind step by step in the future, and it is not surprising that even several generations will not be able to enter the court.

"Your Majesty must know my loyalty to him in the shortest possible time!"

Thinking that Wang Jian and Meng Tian sent all the food in the family to the Shaofu, although they lost a little money, they greatly won the favor of His Majesty, and he laughed at these families for being too timid that day.

But now it seems that this is the most clever trick!

"Someone!" Now that the decision has been made, the face of the noble family head is suddenly firm.

"Head of the house!"

"Send all the food at home to Shaofu, let's just say that my family specially purchased it to help His Majesty resettle the victims, and only purchased enough amount today, so I immediately sent it over!"

The housekeeper looked at the head of the house with admiration, his eyes were full of respect, the current price of grain and the output of pumpkins are already destined to be extremely low in the future.

The family buys so much grain, and if it can't be sold, it has to build a granary to store it, which inevitably requires the use of countless manpower and material resources, and in the end, all the grain that may be saved is not as expensive as the granary.

It can be sent to the Shaofu not only to save the money for building a granary, but also to get a good reputation among the people, and most importantly, to follow behind the Wang family and the Meng family, and please Your Majesty, this is definitely a good way to kill three birds with one stone!

And in the farm of Shaofu, a huge warehouse, crowded with thousands of ragged scholars, thousands of Jinyi guards each have a few scholars around them, but the strange thing is that it is not the scholars who are teaching the Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei is teaching the scholars!
