Chapter 675: Closing Positions

Although it is not as funny as Dongfang Shuo, the master father is also a wonderful person.

After sitting down, eating and drinking are not polite, and there is also the heart to call the waiter to bring him another pot of wine.

In terms of dealing with courtiers with good conduct, Li Yunze can be said to be very kind.

You must know that Emperor Jing was in order to throw away the black cauldron of the feudal domain, and he beheaded the important minister.

As for Emperor Wu, needless to say, the ministers who were beheaded by Emperor Wu can be described as a vehicle.

In Li Yunze's place, although there are countless civil and military ministers who have cut down the noble emperor, there is absolutely no indiscriminate killing, and they all belong to the kind of innocent death.

It's like the Marquis of Qinghe, who hoards Juqi, is not harmful, Emperor Wen is fine during the Jingdi period, and Emperor Wu can even die a good death during the period.

But Li Yunze wanted to cut him because he hurt the interests of the people.

Through the ages, the most important emperor who can see the interests of the people is probably only Zhu Chongba.

The master didn't need to care about any etiquette in front of the king, he really ate and drank enough to burp, so he was satisfied with letting the servants clean up the case.

After drinking a cup of green wine and rinsing his mouth, the master father saluted Li Yunze and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to arrange the food matter?" ”

He is a smart man, and he understands Li Yunze's meaning from Zhang Tang's words, and the Son of Heaven has already made arrangements and plans.

"The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and the grain is expensive and hurts the people. Co-authoring, whether it is a good harvest or a bad harvest, is not a good thing. ”

Li Yunze put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the master father Yan and said, "What can you do about this matter?" ”

The main father is immediately correct.

On the way here, he already knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Although the time was tight, I also had some ideas in my heart.

The master who can come up with such a method as Tui En Ling is naturally not bad, otherwise Li Yunze would not let him be the prime minister.

After thinking about it for a while, the master father Yan said, "The minister heard that Wei Lizi had done a peaceful thing in the Wei State, maybe you can refer to one or two. ”

The so-called Wei Lizi is talking about Li Kui, the boss of the Legalists, and the famous Li Kui changed the law by him.

Li Kui and Wu Qi, with one article and one martial arts, assisted Wei to dominate the world, and the princes who fought couldn't raise their heads.

Later, Daqin, who swept the world, was suppressed for hundreds of years and could not go further.

The peace affair is that the imperial court buys grain for storage in the harvest year, so as not to hurt the peasants. In the year of famine, the stored grain was sold to stabilize the price of grain.

After hearing this, Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction.

Master Father Yan is really capable, and it is already very good to be able to think of this in such a short period of time.

He no longer hid it, and directly stated his plan, "I plan to establish a standing position in all counties in the world."

The so-called regular closing is specially used to do flat work, buy grain in good years, and sell grain in disaster years.

At the time of the reign of Wenjing, the imperial court was indeed very wealthy, even so rich that the collected grain was piled up for too long, which led to rotting and rotting.

This is because these grains are piled up in national warehouses such as Taikoo Cang, Taicang, and Ganquan Cang.

The grain in these warehouses was mainly used as military food, as well as for the distribution of officials to the use of the army, which was regarded as the war food of the Han Dynasty.

The source is the collected field tax, which will not be sold to the people.

In history, the appearance of the regular closing position will not appear until Liu Xun, that is, the period when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu is ill, and then the dynasties will basically set the regular closing position.

It's just that under the squeeze of the collusion between the officials and the grain merchants and landlords, and the serious land annexation, in the later period of the dynasty, the people could not buy grain and were unable to save the court from the downfall.

After Li Yunze described Chang Ping, the master father nodded his head, and then asked, "How can the people be willing to sell grain to Chang Ping, instead of selling it to grain merchants?" ”

There are many drawbacks in later generations, what persuasion to lose, what to use rent to offset taxes, what people to gather in Changping, and come to collect Yunyun in a disaster year, it is all nonsense.

are typical of fattening their own pockets and pitting the people and the court.

Li Yunze knows these things very well, so there is only one way to deal with it: "the regular liquidation will not be under the jurisdiction of the local government, and all of them will be under the management of the Shaofu." As for the source of food, it is naturally purchased from the people. How to buy, of course, is set in the country every year when the grain is harvested

minimum purchase price. ”

The master sighed lightly, His Majesty still can't trust the cultural management group.

He reined in his mood and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the minimum purchase price?" ”

"Corn, millet, rice, wheat, cereal, and tempeh all have a minimum purchase price. For example, corn can be set to 220 yuan a stone this year, millet 300 yuan a stone, and so on. Localities often close their positions and buy grain from the people at this price. ”

The master father nodded again and again, "What about the local grain merchants?" ”

"Huh."

Li Yunze chuckled: "I often close the position for two hundred and twenty yuan and one stone to collect grain, is it difficult for grain merchants to open a price of two hundred yuan and one stone?" Are you a fool when the people have a high price, don't sell it at a low price? ”

The master father asked, "If anyone forces the people to sell grain at a low price."

Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Li Yunze said quietly: "Zhang Tang has been a little idle recently. ”

The master's father was awe-inspiring in his heart.

Zhang Tang Zhidu and others, they are all murderous masters who do not blink.

Not to mention that they are really guilty, the officials of the big families who are not guilty, they all want to slaughter the whole family.

There is no doubt that if anyone dares to do anything to force the people to sell grain, even if the backer behind it is a marquis, or even a feudal king, as long as it falls into the hands of Zhang Tang Zhidu, it will also be the end of the whole family.

Want to make money? Yes, it depends on whether you have the life to spend it.

There's no America these days to make them chic.

As for the merchants, without the support of the yamen, they want to force the people to sell grain to them at a low price?

It's ridiculous!

What kind of good men and women are you when you are a big man, it is true that the people are simple and simple, but every household has weapons, well, all men are basically reserves, and they are either farming or conscription every year, what scene have you not seen?

Entered the village and want to buy and sell? That's really standing up to go in and lying down to come out!

The Han folk of this era are roughly equivalent to the enhanced version of the American folk, which is called a strong man.

The master father Yan felt that the matter proposed by the Son of Heaven was very feasible, and discussed it again, and he could also sell grain on a daily basis, stipulating the quantity and price of grain to be sold, and many other matters such as not being able to sell to grain merchants, so he took his leave and left.

He also has to go back to his house to write official documents, which he will use tomorrow morning.

As for Li Yunze, he glanced at the green wine in the wine glass in his hand, sighed, and missed Zhang Qian, "Bo Wanghou, you have to bring back the seeds of the Western Regions." ”

Zhang Qian's exit from the fortress, in addition to connecting the Western Regions to probe intelligence and publicize the existence and power of the Han Dynasty, as well as drawing maps, is also very important to bring back many plant seeds native to the Western Regions, Central Asia and even Europe.

The seeds of these plants play an important role in enriching the types of crops planted by the Han people.

At this time, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions has been gone for a short time, and I don't know what is happening now.

On the second day of the court meeting, Zhang Tang first reported the crime of the Marquis of Qinghe and informed everyone that he knew.

After all, he is a marquis, and such a major event as the beheading of a lord is naturally to inform the world, and it must be justified.

This incident did not cause much turmoil, after all, the news had spread all over Chang'an City and outside a few days ago, and the big guys had already been mentally prepared.

Even if he was worried that Li Yunze would continue to do something to the nobles, there was no way to deal with it.

In addition to some money and food, some weapons and armor, and some household generals and slaves, there is nothing else in the family.

This little thing, in the face of the increasingly authoritative Son of Heaven, he doesn't even have the courage to speak out loud.

The matter of Wang Bu was quickly swept away, and the next thing was the highlight of the day.

"Your Majesty."

The master father stood up and began to sing a double reed: "Profiteers collect grain at a low price and sell grain at a high price, so that the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and the rice is expensive and hurts the people. For the sake of the Han Dynasty and the people of the world, there should be a proper handling strategy for this matter. ”

Li Yunze, who was wearing a crown, looked at the master father Yan through the hanging beads, "There should be a way to deal with this matter, can the prime minister have a good plan?" ”

"The minister meditated and thought hard, there is a slight method, please look at it, Your Majesty."

After that, the master father Yan handed the song that he had driven out overnight to the chamberlain.

Li Yunze patiently watched the recital, and nodded his head, "This policy is very good, all the secretaries will take a look at it and discuss it." ”

The really important things have actually been discussed before they are actually taken out.

When I take it out, it's just going through the motions.

The ministers who sat on the cushions circulated the notes written by the master father.

Seeing that the position is often closed and the minimum protection price is secretly surprised, this is really a good idea.

Of course, smart people can also see clearly that once this thing is carried out, the grain merchants in the world will basically be doomed.

The relevant backers will also lose the opportunity to make money by hoarding Juqi grain.

The reason is simple, unless the price is high, the farmers will definitely be more willing to sell to the inner government to close the position.

The Son of Heaven in this era is still very reputable, and the people are willing to believe in the Son of Heaven.

But Chang closed the position not only to buy grain, but also to sell grain.

Although there is basically no profit on the price, this is not for the sake of making money, but for the sake of stabilizing prices.

If you close your position, you can sell grain without making money, but you can't do it with grain merchants, what do they do if you don't make money.

Without external help, it is only a matter of time before the grain merchants are wiped out.

After everyone read it, Li Yunze asked, "Zhongqing, what do you want to say?" ”

"Your Majesty."

Ji Huang saluted and said, "Why don't you leave this matter to the counties and counties to do?" ”

According to the suggestion of the master father Yan, Chang Ping was to be handed over to Shaofu, and Shaofu was the private court of the Son of Heaven, that is, in the hands of the emperor.

The struggle for the power of the monarch and the power of the prime minister has never stopped.

Of course, Li Yunze understood what Ji Di meant, and the establishment of Chang Ping was a kind of power, and the imperial court naturally wanted to fight for it.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of competition should be the prime minister who has the best of a hundred officials.

It's a pity that the current prime minister, Father Yan, is the number one loyal dog of the Son of Heaven, and he is also a lonely minister, and he doesn't interact with others on weekdays.

There is no way, but the person with the heart can come out on his own.

Li Yunze sat quietly, quietly listening to Ji Di say a lot of benefits for the local county to do the regular closing.

Wait until Ji Di finished speaking, and his eyes looked at him eagerly.

Li Yunze waved his hand lightly.

"No."
