Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 64 Not enough food for 800 shi?high, really high
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the Empress in unison. They were very curious about who the Empress would hand over the right to choose the site in the end.

At this moment, Liu Yanming and Li Jie didn't care about the empress' refusal, but felt a little uneasy in their hearts. The right to choose a site is related to the future of the two.

"After thinking about it, the site selection has its own use, and I don't care about its rights, but about its responsibilities."

"Liu Aiqing, Li Aiqing, what the two of you are doing is not fighting for power, I understand that."

When the Empress opened her mouth, she first praised her, and the two of them immediately cupped their hands: "Your Majesty is wise."

You must accept this, otherwise you will just sit on the fact that they are using power for personal gain?
"Since it's about responsibility, it's better to be realistic than to fight over and over again."

"The matter of changing rice into mulberry, I will announce my intention to the world, let the world wait and see, and let the people of Great Wei feel the court's intentions."

"The implementation of changing rice to mulberry, no matter where it is, cannot avoid a problem, grain allocation."

"What do you two love gentlemen think?"

The empress made a sound, finally proposing to announce the matter to the world.

Indeed, after saying this, Manchu civil and military officials could no longer calm down.

Changing rice into mulberry is still in the pilot stage. The imperial court only needs to issue official documents to the corresponding provincial capitals, and there is no need to announce it to the world.

Announcing the world may sound like nothing, but it is actually not a big thing, and it is impossible to announce it to the world, which means that everyone in the Wei Dynasty will pay attention to this matter.

It's nothing if it's done well, but once it's not done well, no one can escape responsibility, especially the Empress.

This is no small matter.

"Your Majesty, I think it's a bit abrupt to announce to the world. After all, if there is no profit as expected, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

Some officials stood up to oppose it, thinking that it was unnecessary to announce it to the world. Wouldn't this add pressure to the court invisibly?
"Oh?" The empress was a little surprised, and immediately looked at Liu Yanming and said, "Liu Aiqing, how sure are you of success in changing rice to mulberry?"

She threw this question directly to Liu Yanming, and didn't answer at all. She thoroughly learned one of the emperor's mind skills, and she didn't take the blame.

Anyway, I leave the problem to you, and you can figure it out for yourself.

If Ni Liu Yanming said that the success rate is not high, then just don't do it and see who loses the most.

If Liu Yanming said that the success rate is high, it would be no problem to announce it to the world.

Liu Yanming knew this well, he really didn't know what to say for a while, why did he feel that the Empress' methods had become so terrifying.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have great confidence, but" Liu Yanming wanted to play Tai Chi and talk about scenes, but the empress didn't give him any chance.

"If you think it's feasible, tell the world. If you think it's not feasible, let's forget about it. During this period of time, the government and the people have been abandoned, and there are many things, big and small. How long is the delay?"

"I don't want to worry about this anymore."

The Empress made a sound and issued an ultimatum. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it.

The unique power of the emperor is displayed at this moment, and the sky is in charge. These four words are not nonsense, even for an emperor who has no power.

It also has a certain right to make decisions, of course, mainly because the court is in a state of checks and balances. Although there are many parties, there are also many divisions of power.

If it is the kind of family that dominates, then this kind of emperor is really useless, a pure puppet emperor.

Facing the empress like this, Liu Yanming took a deep breath.

"Return to Your Majesty, I think I am absolutely sure."

The matter has come to this point, Liu Yanming did not dare to continue to entangle, and the matter of changing rice to mulberry has indeed been delayed for a long time, and those businessmen in Zhejiang Province are already ready to move.

To them, delaying for a day is a huge loss. It is better to be happy and finish this matter quickly, so that you will have time to do other things.

"The ministers also think that they are absolutely sure."

Seeing that Liu Yanming had agreed, the officials of the Liu Party expressed their support one after another.

"What about the rest of my loves?"

The empress glanced at the others, and Yang Ning also stood up when she saw this situation: "I agree."

Canceling the conversion of rice to mulberry, all the efforts made before will be in vain. Yang Ning is not stupid. He can't wait to implement the conversion of rice to mulberry today, so he agrees without hesitation.

Both major parties agreed, and Li Jie followed suit without dragging his feet.

"it is good."

The empress nodded in satisfaction. This scene is very rare. The civil and military officials of the whole court promised one thing, which was impossible before.

"Since all the lovers agree, then the Ministry of Rites will prepare to announce the matter to the world."

"As for the allocation of grain, based on 800 million shi of grain, whoever allocates the most grain, Liu Aiqing or Li Aiqing, will have the right to choose the site. Of course, these grains will be adjusted by the two love ministers themselves, not from the national treasury, but from all parties. The allocation by the provincial government shall not exceed half of the amount.”

"how?"

The empress spoke up and set a bidding price of 800 million shi for grain.

But this price directly made a group of people dumbfounded.

800 shi of grain?

In the Wei Dynasty, one stone of grain was one hundred catties, eight million stones was 800 catties of grain, and one stone of grain was half a tael of silver on the market.

That is to say, if the money is not earned, first invest 400 million taels of silver in it?Although it can be said that half of it can be allocated from the surrounding provincial governments, it will cost 200 million taels of silver, which is really a bit outrageous.

"The minister is willing to give 850 million shi of grain."

At this time, Liu Yanming deserved to be the first assistant of the Great Wei. Faced with this situation, Liu Yanming did not hesitate at all, and directly offered 850 million shi of grain as the bidding price.

The price is horrific.

Li Dang is paralyzed, 850 million shi, even if they are all sold, they will not be able to collect so much.

As for the deployment of the surrounding provincial governments, to put it bluntly, does Li Jie have the face?Who is willing to give him food around Zhejiang Province?

Even if it wasn't the Zhejiang Mansion, no one would pay attention to him in another place.

Only this Chief Assistant can do it.

It is said to be bidding, but in fact it feels that it is biased towards Liu Yanming.

However, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also fully understood one thing, the foundation is the foundation, once the price of 850 million shi grains is raised, who would dare to answer?
Only Liu Yanming dared to answer.

As expected of the old man.

"In this way, before Liu Aiqing and Li Aiqing go to court tomorrow, write down the amount of food, so as to win with more, and don't make any detours at the end of one."

"I'm really tired of it."

"I can promise that there will be a result tomorrow, so let's retreat."

The empress opened her mouth, and after saying this, she ignored the other matters of the ministers and left directly.

Everyone understood what the Empress was thinking at this moment.

This is to make the two heads bleed.

To discuss it tomorrow means that the empress is not satisfied with the price.

More importantly, they gradually came to their senses and realized the true purpose of the Empress.

This is to get involved with the two princes.

This is not a dispute between the two parties, this is the calculation of the two princes.

The 800 million shi of grain has reached the limit, and it is impossible to break through again. Li Dang absolutely does not have the confidence.

But if the prince behind Li Dang came forward, it would be different.

high.

Really high.
