Chapter 164 The Crash of Grain Prices and the Good Way to Kill Three Birds with One Stone

Chapter [-]: Plunging food prices and a good way to kill three birds with one stone

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

Today, the price of silver is almost twenty times higher than that of gold. Even at the current price of grain, it is only a balance to exchange silver for gold and add more than one million stones of grain. Why is the newly appointed Deputy Commander of the Shaofu A look of pride.

Thinking of a possibility, Emperor Shi Huang's face suddenly showed playfulness. If his guess is true, it will be fun in the future, but he still told Zhao Wen: "In the future, the rewards in the army will be mainly gold, and many people in the army will send the emperor The reward has been kept and even enshrined at home!"

"I've made it down!" Zhao Wen nodded lightly, knowing that Emperor Shihuang must have seen that there was a problem with the price of gold and silver. This point was indeed his mistake. I am afraid that changes can drive people crazy.

The Deputy Commander of the Shaofu has already decided in his heart that the first thing to do after returning home is to exchange all the silver in the house for gold. question.

"Now that the pumpkins have matured, all labor food in Lishan, Longshouyuan, and various projects will be replaced with pumpkins. There is no need to limit the amount of food. You can eat as much as you can. I remember that pumpkins are not durable, so keep the seeds. , sell all the melon meat to the common people at a low price!"

"The people in Qin have suffered too much these years. Since there is no shortage of food, it's 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 it was before the price of food rose. People in Qin land bought it and tasted it. It tastes sweet and can fill their stomachs very well. It has been left for a long time, but it has quickly become the staple food of all the people in Qin these days.

Some people who reacted quickly even took the opportunity to sell all the grain in their homes to the grain shop, and then sold a large number of pumpkins to the countryside with no information for sale, making a lot of money immediately.

And the food price in the whole Qin land also plummeted in an instant, even almost equaling the price of pumpkins.

"Have you found out clearly that the yield of pumpkins is really as the people in the Shaofu said, tens of thousands of jins per mu?" The high spirits of the heads of the noble families when they purchased the grain had long since disappeared, and they feebly asked the servants at home who had disappeared.

"Patriarch, among the seeds exchanged by the Shaofu, there are pumpkin seeds, and they are planted in the farm at home. I went to see them in person. The fields are densely packed. Judging by the size of the pumpkins sold in the Shaofu, after maturity The yield per mu is tens of thousands of catties, which is not much more!" An old man in the family sighed dejectedly.

"That is to say, there will be no shortage of food in Daqin?" The head of the noble family thought of the food purchased in these days, and his voice was already hoarse.

"Not only is there no shortage, there are so many pumpkins grown in the Shaofu. Even if there are several million more people, I am afraid that many granaries will have to be built in various places this year to be able to store all this year's grain!" The old man sighed softly. A bumper harvest is a happy event, but thinking of the large amount of grain purchased at home, he can't be happy anyway.

"Go down!" The head of the noble family gently waved his hand to signal everyone to back down.

After the room was empty, he looked towards the palace with resentment, and then shook his head bitterly.

He can be sure that this matter must be His Majesty's plan, making all the nobles and wealthy households dance like clowns for a while, and then slapped them down with a thunderbolt with a pumpkin.

"Between the monarch and his ministers, why is this!"

Some financial losses are just trivial matters. After all, although the price of grain harvested in the later period is a little higher, the price sold in the early stage is also higher, so it is not a big loss after all.

The nobles of the Great Qin Empire cared the least about a little money.

But with this incident alone, it can be seen that His Majesty has no trust in the nobles of Daqin, and is even on guard.

Thinking of His Majesty's efforts to reduce the number of Qin troops, the Hangu Pass garrison was also transferred back to the capital of Qin a few days ago. The [-] Qin troops guarding Hangu Pass have now been replaced by [-] forbidden troops. It is said that the next step is the Northwest Army Corps and the Great Wall Army Corps. To be replaced by the imperial army to garrison.

It can be seen that His Majesty wants 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 award system.

If it were an ordinary emperor who dared to do this, not to mention that the decree would not leave the palace, I am afraid that people would survive for a few days. This is completely against all nobles.

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

In front of Tianmen, he could see clearly that there are tens of thousands of Jinyiwei and thousands of people in Dongchang, all of them can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and they also have the right to kill first and play later. Only these people can suppress all disobedient officials .

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

Now all the nobles have thought that Jinyiwei and Dongchang must be the power brought back by His Majesty from other worlds, and even the gold and silver that His Majesty seems to never spend in his hands, and even dare to waive the national food tax, are probably all of them. Brought back through the gate of heaven.

With such a treasure in his hands, he is even worried now, whether His Majesty will bring many civil servants and military generals from other worlds in the future, and throw all the courtiers of Daqin aside.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne is just the time for the renewal of power in the court. If he lags behind this step, he will fall behind step by step in the future, and he won't be surprised if he can't even enter the court for several generations.

"You must let His Majesty know my loyalty to him in the shortest possible time!"

Thinking of Wang Jian and Meng Tian's family sending all the food in the family to the Shaofu, although they lost a little money, they were greatly favored by His Majesty. I even laughed at these families for being too timid that day.

But now it seems that this is the most brilliant trick!
"Come on!" Now that he had made up his mind, the head of the noble family suddenly became firm.

"Homeowner!"

"Send all the food in the family to the Shaofu, and say that my family bought it specially to help His Majesty resettle the victims of the disaster. I just bought enough food today, and I sent it over immediately!"

The housekeeper looked at the Patriarch with admiration, and his eyes were full of respect. The current price of food and the output of pumpkins already doomed the price of food to be extremely low in the future.

The family purchased so much grain that they could not sell it and had to build a granary to store it, which inevitably required countless manpower and material resources. In the end, it was possible to sell all the stored grain without costing as much as the granary.

But sending it to the Shaofu not only saves the money for building a granary, but also gains a good reputation among the people. The most important thing is that following the Wang family and the Meng family to please His Majesty is definitely killing three birds with one stone. good idea!
And in Shaofu's farm, there is a huge warehouse crowded with thousands of ragged scholars, and each of the thousands of brocade guards has a few scholars around them, but the strange thing is that it is not the scholars who are teaching the brocade guards, but the It is Jin Yiwei who is teaching the scholars!
