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

Chapter 65 It was a game from the beginning, we were all caught

in Kyoto.

The matter of grain bidding spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

Whether it is an official family or an aristocratic family, everyone is looking forward to what price the two parties can offer.

In the palace of King Qin.

Liu Yanming didn't even go back to his own home, and went straight to Qin Wangfu.

850 million shi was indeed the highest price Liu Yanming could offer, and he couldn't pay for the surplus grain.

And Liu Yanming also instantly understood what the empress wanted.

If you want the real admission of the two princes, let them make a price behind the scenes.

Just because of these four words to tell the world.

In the palace of King Qin.

After crossing the pavilion, Liu Yanming followed Qin Wang's steward to the backyard. At this moment, it was still the son of Qin Wang who received him.

The latter seemed to know what had happened to the court, and facing Liu Yanming's arrival, the son of King Qin went straight to the point.

"1000 million shi of grain, this is the highest price."

The son of King Qin cut to the chase and offered the highest price.

Hearing this, Liu Yanming shook his head directly.

"His Royal Highness, 1000 million stones of grain is definitely not what His Majesty thinks of. I hope His Royal Highness will mention it again for the sake of the overall situation."

Liu Yanming directly vetoed this price.

The two princes entered the arena in person, and 1000 million shi of food is really not enough.

"Ten million is not enough? Can Your Majesty eat so much?"

The latter frowned. For ordinary people, such things as food are half a tael for one shi, but for them, the price can actually be lowered. If they really want to buy 1000 million shi of grain, the price is equivalent to that of ordinary people who buy 700 million shi Just food.

But Qin Wang Shizi did not expect Liu Yanming to say such words.

"His Royal Highness, haven't you understood yet?"

Liu Yanming sighed, he looked at the latter with emotion in his eyes.

"What does Liuge always mean?"

Prince Qin's son was a little curious, he really didn't understand what the other party meant.

"With a peerless talent, assisting His Majesty behind us, we have been completely caught, completely passive, and unable to get out."

When Liu Yanming spoke, his words were full of helplessness.

It took four quarters of an hour to walk from the palace to Prince Qin's mansion, and during these four quarters of an hour, he also completed all the review, and clearly understood that he was in a worrying situation.

"Being passive?"

"Is Liu Ge always joking? The chief minister of the cabinet, plus my father's authority, has fallen into a passive position in Wei?"

Prince Qin's son obviously didn't believe it, and he even found it a little ridiculous.

The first party of the Great Wei Dynasty, plus the regent appointed by the first emperor, the two combined into one, would they fall into a passive position?If you say it, everyone in the world will find it ridiculous.

"The old man never jokes."

Liu Yanming sighed, but the reaction of Prince Qin's son was also within his expectation.

"Please tell me, Mr. Ge."

Seeing Liu Yanming's attitude, the latter put away his contempt for a while and asked the other party seriously.

At the moment, Liu Yanming no longer hides and hides.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's move can be described as a series of tricks."

"Changing rice to mulberry is a good thing in itself, and His Majesty also supports it, and she has been showing weakness, allowing the old man to take the lead and win every step of the way. In the end, Yang Ning saw that there was no way to recover, so he simply agreed."

"After confirming to change the rice to mulberry, His Majesty delayed it from time to time. In fact, he gave us enough time to go to Zhejiang Ningfu to buy a large amount of fertile land. From this moment on, we have fallen into the trap."

"She acted extraordinarily mediocre, she was just deceiving us, and there was a peerless expert behind her back. I don't know how much fertile land the Zhejiang Mansion bought."

"You can count the officials under the old man, you, His Royal Highness, the local gentry family, and our close friends and relatives."

"I'm afraid it's more than a million acres. It's not that I'm greedy, but that once the greed is released, it's hard to stop."

"In this way, the more fertile land was bought and sold, the more passive we were. Finally, at the critical moment, His Majesty just handed over the site selection right to Li Jie, and the situation was completely turned upside down."

Liu Yanming reviewed everything carefully, but he was too cautious, thinking that this was a game from beginning to end, but he was roughly right.

Prince Qin's son became more and more silent as he listened. When he heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"This is unlikely. Changing rice to mulberry is indeed a good thing. The treasury is rich, and the common people also have certain benefits. We can also get some benefits from it."

"Even Emperor Xian was greatly impressed when he heard about these policies. If Emperor Xian was not physically ill, he would have implemented them long ago."

He disagreed, because if this is the case, how terrifying is the empress' scheming, or in other words, how terrifying is the person behind the empress?
Liu Yanming did not refute, but continued to speak.

"Changing rice to mulberry is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, but Your Highness, don't forget that the reason why the Yang party agreed is not because they can't resist, but because they have prepared many means to implement such policies as Huang."

"Although we also have back-hands, the development of the situation is beyond imagination. In the past six months, all the land that can be sold in Zhejiang Province has been sold, but there are still some people who can buy land."

"How did these fields come from? His Royal Highness should know better than this old man?"

"The people behind His Majesty had expected this to happen a long time ago, so the right to choose the site was thrown out. All of a sudden, people were panicked. The sale of good land in Zhejiang Province has been suspended, and even some nobles from aristocratic families have begun to sell land at a low price. .”

"In this way, we can control the price of land and stabilize people's hearts, and when the two parties compete fiercely, they will throw out grain auctions."

"The biggest problem in changing rice to mulberry is the food problem. Although I have already contacted the four surrounding provinces, I even asked the Jiangnan prefect to leave 500 million shi for emergency food."

"However, the fortunes are not as good as the people's calculations. No one can guarantee whether the food in the south of the Yangtze River will be transported to Zhejiang and Ningfu at the critical moment."

"If anything goes wrong, the Zhejiang Ning Mansion will be in chaos, and it will be a fatal blow to the entire Great Wei."

"So the grain auction is His Majesty's last plan. What she wants is definitely not 800 million shi of grain, but 3000 million shi of grain."

Liu Yanming said the estimated number in the empress' mind.

"3000 shi of grain?"

"This is impossible."

"What are you fighting for? Mr. Liu Ge, do you know what 3000 million shi of grain means? If we really collect the 3000 million shi of grain, we will all go bankrupt."

Prince Qin shook his head directly.

3000 million shi of grain?Are you kidding me?Calculated, even if the grain price is bought at the cost price, it will cost about 1000 million taels of silver.

Who can afford so much money?
Qin Wangfu couldn't get it out.

Hearing this, Liu Yanming shook his head again.

"His Royal Highness."

"Now if you can't take it out, you have to take it out."

"The current battle is not about silver, but a battle for people's hearts."

Liu Yanming spoke, his tone was extremely flat, but his expression was full of firmness.

Now it's not up to them to call the shots.

"What if I don't want to take it?"

Prince Qin's son was a little angry.

Liu Yanming didn't speak, because he knew that at this level, it was no longer up to the prince of Qin to decide.

"The old man thinks, how much grain will King Yan give?"

At this moment, an old voice sounded.

It is King Qin.
