Chapter 110: The Countdown to the Food War

Cai Jing had a good calculation, but he didn't know that Qin Hui, who was still a little traitor, had already sold him and the Wang family cleanly!

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Chen heard Cai Jing's words, he immediately understood the insidious purpose of the great traitor.

So, he smiled at Cai Jing and said, "Cai Xiang, the Royal Chamber of Commerce Processing Factory is an institution that serves the people, and it is used to accumulate merits for the officials and queens and saints, not to earn people's wealth!"

The one who can really get huge benefits is the side that Li Yan and Master Li are responsible for!

Since you are worried that the abolition of Chongning Daqian will lead to financial constraints, the top priority should be to set up a border institution of the Royal Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, so as to earn the wealth of other countries and make my Song Dynasty rich! ”

"Humph!"

Cai Jing sneered, narrowed his old eyes and said, "Wouldn't it be better to take a two-pronged approach?" While using Bian Yu to earn foreign wealth, and at the same time establishing a processing plant for the benefit of the people, the two are not delayed and do not conflict! ”

"Cai Xiang's words are reasonable!"

Wang Hao immediately nodded in agreement, looked at Jiang Chen with a playful expression, and said, "Could it be that Lord Jiang is worried that he is not capable enough to deal with many matters?"

This is easy to do, Ben Shangshu can send some officials from the household department to help you! ”

"It's easy for the lower officials to deal with such trivial matters, so don't bother Lord Shangshu!"

Jiang Chen directly shook his head and rejected Wang Hao's 'good intentions', and then said: "Dare to ask Cai Xiang and Wang Shangshu, if the Western Xia nobles and Liao people learned that the golden wave jade liquid and refined salt were edible to everyone in the Great Song Dynasty, how would they react?" Would you still be willing to buy at a high price?

What if unscrupulous businessmen take advantage of the benevolence of the officials to buy grain and salt on a large scale to enrich themselves, or even privately resell it to foreigners, resulting in a sharp rise in the price of grain and salt among the people, and the border trade is blocked? ”

This......

Damn little traitor, what do you want to do so much?

Cai Jing and Wang Hao were speechless, their faces full of depression.

Song Huizong frowned thoughtfully and said, "Liangchen, in your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?" ”

Jiang Chen smiled with a relaxed smile: "Official, in fact, Cai Xiang and Wang Shangshu have ignored the fact that the fundamental purpose of establishing the Royal Jimin Chamber of Commerce is not to establish a processing plant;

Rather, it is to fill the treasury, benefit all the people, and help the officials and nobles accumulate merits. ”

"Well, that's right, Liangchen, you go on!"

Song Huizong and Zhao Ji nodded in agreement.

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen agreed and continued: "Now that we have figured out the fundamental purpose of establishing the Royal Jimin Chamber of Commerce, then the matter will be simple.

As long as we do a good job of statistics, give priority to border trade, and ensure that the amount of refined salt processed by the people does not exceed the amount earned from the Western Xia, we can not only benefit the people, but also stabilize the price of salt, killing two birds with one stone! ”

"Well, that's a safe way! Liangchen Guo has the talent of an economically rich country! ”

Song Huizong smiled and nodded, his eyes full of appreciation.

Mo Li, Jia Anzhai, He Li and Yunwang Zhao Kai also echoed with a look of approval.

But Cai Jing, who failed in the poison plan, felt that the whole person was not good!

He never thought that Jiang Chen would think things so carefully at such a young age.

Wang Hao stared at Jiang Chen even more unwillingly and asked, "What about the processing of wine?" The official family has already let the words out, you won't let the official family break their word, right? ”

"The official asked the official family yesterday for this matter, and the official family has promised to postpone the processing of wine until after the autumn harvest!"

Jiang Chen said, looking at Wang Hao and Cai Jing with a little smugness.

"After the autumn harvest?"

"Wouldn't it be nearly three months to wait!"

What do we do with the money we put in to collect grain?

Wang Huang was dumbfounded!

Cai Jing was depressed!

Thinking of those loyal little brothers, in order to be obedient and even more profitable, they took out all their belongings and sent people around to buy food, both of them felt a lot of pressure and were full of depression!

Jiang Chen saw that they all showed an uncomfortable expression of eating dead flies, and his heart was dark for a while, and he said with a smile: "Naturally, we have to wait until after the autumn harvest, otherwise it will not be beautiful to cause grain prices to rise because of the wine merchants' pursuit of profits!" ”

As he spoke, he admonished Song Huizong: "Official! If someone uses a liquor processing factory to create rumors and raise prices before the autumn harvest, it must be a traitor with bad intentions and trying to compromise your merits.

But if you find something, you should see one by one, catch one by one, directly raid their homes, and confiscate their food! ”

As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked at Cai Jing and Wang Hao with a vicious expression.

Uh-

Damn little traitor!

Do you want to be so ruthless?

Cai Jing and Wang Hao's eyelids jumped in shock, and they hurriedly wanted to find a reason to oppose Song Huizong.

However, Song Huizong, who had secretly discussed this matter with Jiang Chen during the 'private visit' of the Teaching Workshop Division last night, did not give them a chance to oppose at all, and nodded directly:

"Those traitors who try to stop me from heaven deserve to see one and kill the other! This matter will be handed over to the East Factory to be responsible! ”

"Yes, slave and maid!"

Li Yan's eyes were full of excitement, and he bowed and saluted: "Lord Yang and I must closely monitor the price of grain!"

If the unscrupulous people dare to raise the price of grain by a penny, or maliciously hoard food, the slaves and maids will directly confiscate their grain and raid their homes! ”

Li Yan's words directly blocked Cai Jing and Wang Hao's back moves, so that the Cai family and Wang Hao couldn't help but cast resentful glances at him.

However, Song Huizong was very satisfied with Li Yan's resolute attitude, and said: "When you encounter traitors, once it is verified, I will allow you to act cheaply!"

But you must not delay Bian Yan because of this matter, you know? ”

"The official family can rest assured, the slaves and maids have already arranged the affairs of the border, and the relevant personnel of the Jinyi Guard have already stepped up to prepare.

After three days, the equipment is ready, and the rest of the staff will set off immediately! Guarantee that the official family will receive the good news from the border within a month! ”

Li Yan replied confidently and sonorously.

"Okay, Shuo Yan is really getting more and more appropriate! After these two errands are done, I will definitely reward them! ”

Song Huizong praised with great satisfaction.

"Thank you for your kindness! The slave and maid must live up to the expectations of the officials! ”

Li Yan's face was full of joy, and the bones of the body he used were lighter.

secretly said in his heart: It was really wise for the official to choose to work with Jiang Chen in the first place; Otherwise, if you continue to talk to Cai Xiang, it is estimated that you will continue to take care of the imperial garden now!

He was thinking so complacently, Cai Jing suddenly glanced at Wang Huang.

Wang Hao understood, and smiled at Song Huizong: "Official, Commander Yang and Master Li are now responsible for the establishment of the East Factory, and they are also responsible for supervising the illegal merchants in the world, and they are also responsible for border commerce, will it be too much work?"

The matter of the border is related to the national capital, and the amount of money involved is innumerable, but it must not be sloppy! ”

As he made the preparations, Cai Jing immediately followed: "Official, although Jiang Xiushu and Master Li have done a good job, they lack practical experience after all.

You should choose another experienced veteran to assist you to check and fill in the gaps, so that you can be foolproof! ”
