"Scattered, scattered!"

Xiang Chong was so embarrassed that he finally couldn't help it, and ended his first visit to the court before he ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty returns to the palace." Chen Gonggong sang.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

The voices of civil and military officials are sparse, and they are even more angry than shouting long live when they go to court.

Xiang Chong didn't care about these little things, he just wanted to escape from the scene.

"Colleagues, I take my leave."

Fan Li bowed his hand and said goodbye to the ministers.

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister !!"

This time, it is as uniform as the mountains roaring and the tsunami, and the momentum is like a rainbow!

Fan Li smiled and strode out of the Jinluan Palace.

Fan House.

Jiangshan Pavilion.

Back at home, Fan Li was still busy.

As the Duke and Prime Minister of the Great Chu Jin, in charge of the affairs of the imperial court, Fan Li is of course in charge of all opportunities.

The Jinluan Palace in the palace is no longer a place to really deal with state affairs, but the Jiangshan Pavilion of the Fan Mansion is.

Next to the bookcase, a stack of 'hills' piled up high is the official business that Fan Li has to deal with today.

Fan Li was accustomed to it, calmly sat down, and took out a piece of official business to start processing.

Time passed little by little, and when the sun set, there were servants of Fan's Mansion who lit candlesticks and hung night pearls.

The lights in the Jiangshan Pavilion are bright, and even the lights of the palace are covered!

"Hello?"

"Hey, hey, hey?"

"That...... Fan Li, are you busy? ”

As soon as Fan Li put down an official document, he heard a familiar voice.

Is it Xiang Ning?

He looked down, and sure enough, the sound came from the dusty necklace.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong? The minister is handling government affairs. ”

"Oh......"

Hearing that he was busy with business, Xiang Ning responded, and seemed a little frustrated.

Fan Li thought it was okay and continued to work.

But only a moment later, Xiang Ning's voice came again.

"Are you done?"

Fan Li couldn't laugh or cry.

He glanced at the bookcase, where he still had a third of the unattended business.

But Fan Li replied: "Well, it's almost over." ”

"Then you can talk to me...... Ah no, let's talk about the government? ”

Where Fan Li couldn't see, Xiang Ning's face flushed with a hint of shyness.

"Yes."

For this kind of request, Fan Li also felt that it was reasonable, and immediately began to report.

"This year's grain harvest is a good thing. However, in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there is no shortage of grain in our Dachu, which makes it difficult for farmers to sell their grain, and the price is low. ”

"Once the people think that farming is not enough to meet their survival needs, they will abandon the fields and invest in other industries. For example, industrialists, merchants, soldiers, and even bandits. ”

"Agriculture is the cornerstone of the country, and it is necessary to maintain a sufficient population of peasant households to keep farming and producing food in the fields, otherwise the country will be in chaos."

"What then!?"

Xiang Ning said that talking about government politics was originally just an excuse.

But after listening to Fan Li's long speech, she found that there was such a major hidden danger just in the issue of food prices and sales, and she immediately became worried!

"Your Majesty don't worry, the minister has already found a solution."

"I heard that Dahan coincided with a drought this year, and there was a shortage of food. My surplus grain can be exported to the Han Dynasty. ”

"The minister has just drawn up the price of grain for export, and after taking into account the income of peasant households, export tariffs, transportation costs, and other factors, the price is higher than the general market grain price."

Xiang Ning was dizzy when he heard it, and it took a long time to understand Fan Li's words.

She was surprised: "Our food is expensive? Can the people on the Han side accept it? ”

Fan Li smiled: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister has a coping strategy." This batch of grain exported to the Han Dynasty, the minister is going to send people to the Han Dynasty to advertise first."

"Hit ...... Ad? ”

This word was too fresh, and Xiang Ning couldn't understand it directly.

"Yes."

"For example, the rice of our Chu State, the minister packaged it as royal tribute rice."

"Just the outer packaging used for each bag of rice is printed with a large 'item' character to correspond to the royal family name."

"In addition, next to the word 'Xiang', there is also the famous sentence of the Taizu Overlord, 'Pull out the mountain and cover the world'!"

"This sentence can give consumers a psychological hint that if they eat the royal tribute rice of Da Chu, they can also be as powerful as the overlord of Chu."

Xiang Ning was stunned.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses and mutter, "This ...... Isn't it a lie? ”

Fan Li smiled: "Where did you deceive people?" The rice that His Majesty eats on weekdays was originally grown by the farmers of Dachu. The rice of Da Chu is indeed the royal tribute rice. ”

"Oh, but can the people of Han accept more expensive grain just by advertising?" Xiang Ning said worriedly.

"Of course it's not that simple, so the minister still has a move."

The smile on Fan Li's face became brighter and brighter.

"The grain exported to Dahan this time is also planned to be divided into preferential editions, hardcover editions and limited editions."

Xiang Ning didn't understand.

What do you mean?

"Taking advantage of the opportunity of export, the minister intends to dispose of a batch of domestic old grain. The so-called preferential version is the oldest old grain, and if you don't eat it, you will have worms, so the preferential version has the lowest price. The minister can guarantee that the price is acceptable to the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

But it's still more expensive than Chu State, and it's more unpalatable, right?

Xiang Ning thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

"As for the hardcover version, it is the new grain harvested this year. The price is naturally higher, and the Han can only afford it if it is a family above the rich peasant level. ”

"And what is the limited edition? Certain...... It must be more expensive, right? Xiang Ning couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha, why is it expensive? The price of the minister is comparable to gold. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Li couldn't help but laugh.

"Comparable to gold? How can this be sold!? Xiang Ning was surprised.

"It's not difficult, the ministers will publicize a wave, and it will be said that the limited edition of the grain is not produced by ordinary farmers, but a group of immortal cultivators with spiritual energy who personally go to the fields to cultivate."

"The grain grown by immortal cultivators is believed to arouse the interest of the wealthy in the Han Dynasty. When the time comes, they will spend a lot of money to buy it, and perhaps the limited edition food prepared by the minister will not be enough to sell. ”

Xiang Ning was so surprised that his mouth grew, but unfortunately Fan Li couldn't see it.

It took her a long time to say, "...... This...... It's always a lie, right? ”

Immortal cultivators farming?

It's simply unheard of.

And as the Emperor of Chu, she always felt that Fan Li's false propaganda damaged the face of the Chu State.

Fan Li said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister never deceives people, and everything is the truth." ”

"We really have cultivators in the Chu Kingdom?!" Xiang Ning was stunned.

No way?

It's a waste of talent!

Even a lowest-level body refining cultivator is an excellent soldier, so why let him cultivate the land?

Fan Li explained: "Your Majesty, there has been no war in the Three Kingdoms for many years, and there has long been a custom of Tuntian in my Great Chu army. In addition, in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there is a surplus of grain in the army, so every year Fan's firm is entrusted to help sell it, and the income is used as military funds. ”

Xiang Ning understood.

The soldiers of Da Chu have practiced to a greater or lesser extent, and the food they grow is, of course, the food grown by immortal cultivators.

It's just that Fan Li is too good at packaging, right?

"Lying is not a true skill, packaging the truth as a myth, this is Fan Li's ability." Xiang Ning said in his heart.
