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

Chapter 66

The cost of 1000 million taels of silver was naturally unacceptable to Prince Qin. He worked so hard, doing business everywhere to earn money, and the meager profit of a year was only a million taels of silver.

Asking him to take out 1000 million taels of silver is more uncomfortable than killing him.

But what he didn't expect was that at this time, his father and king appeared.

"Son, pay homage to father and king."

Not far away, an old man in a black python robe appeared, with white hair and a walking stick, he came here tremblingly, but he didn't care about his son's kneeling.

Instead, he looked at Elder Liu Ge.

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Qin."

Facing the King of Qin, Liu Yan was obviously very respectful. After all, this person in front of him was the regent of the Great Wei. He seemed to be hiding behind the scenes, but this kind of person was terrifying.

Being able to become the Chief Assistant of the Great Wei's Cabinet is precisely because of the King Qin in front of him. Without him, it is impossible for him to become the Chief Assistant of the Great Wei.

"Liu Ge's old saying is serious."

"How much food do you think you need?"

He continued to ask, his tone was very kind, even with a smile, a little kind.

"Returning to the prince, the officials believe that the king of Yan can gather up to 3000 million shi of grain at most, unless King Ning supports it, not counting Ning Wang, 3000 million shi is the limit, so we only need to give a quotation of 500 million shi of grain That's it."

Liu Yanming said slowly, this is what he budgeted out, and the 3000 million shi of grain has almost reached the limit.

The price of this grain is not about how much money you can make, but about gaining the support of the people.

The four words of proclaiming to the world are of great significance.

"King Ning will not support him."

"However, it is absolutely impossible for him to take out only 3000 million shi of grain."

"Tomorrow you will give a price of 5000 million shi for grain at the morning court. Since it is a comparison, just kill the opponent with one breath, and don't give them any chance to breathe."

"Besides, this king concludes that His Majesty actually prefers the Zhejiang Mansion."

King Qin spoke, as expected of the most powerful person in the Great Wei Dynasty, and he asked for 5000 million shi of grain, a figure that shocked even Liu Yanming.

"Father, 5000 million shi of grain will be given to the court for free, I"

This time, Prince Qin couldn't help but open his mouth. He couldn't accept 3000 million shi, and 5000 million shi was even more impossible. If the Qin Palace really spent so much money to buy food, then the Qin Palace would also collapse.

Money can turn ghosts around, don't look at the King Qin's mansion, but there is definitely a lot of money behind it, the generals need a lot of money to support them, so many officials in the whole Wei Dynasty need money to support them, where is there no shortage?
"Your vision is too limited."

Looking at his son, King Qin sighed, and he walked slowly in front of the two of them. Under the black python robe, he looked extremely old, like a candle in the wind, ready to fall down at any time.

"The fertile land that the Zhejiang Ning Prefecture has collected has exceeded 200 million mu. The people involved range from the royal family to the wealthy gentry. If His Majesty handed over the right of site selection to Third Uncle Ni, think about it for yourself, how much will it be?" trouble."

King Qin spoke up.

Just this one word made the latter silent.

200 million mu of land, this is harvested fertile land, and some fields are owned by itself. If the right to choose the site falls to other provincial capitals, everyone will suffer a blood loss.

Suppressing the price of land was something that happened later, and the previous ones were bought at high prices. After all, Sangtian is profitable, and the money earned is nothing more than appropriation from the imperial court.

If the right to choose the site is not obtained, then this gang of dignitaries will be cheated. At that time, either the king of Qin will pay everyone's losses, or the big guys will have resentment against the king of Qin.

Then he turned around and defected to King Yan, and became the biggest loser every time he came back.

How could the prince of Qin not understand these truths?But what if you understand?After all, he was still a little dissatisfied.

"My lord, 5000 million shi is a bit much, isn't it?"

Liu Yanming couldn't help but open his mouth, feeling that the asking price was too high.

"not much."

"You think of some way to collect 1000 million shi, and let the people who come into contact with you collect 1000 million shi. The old man will write a few letters, and the seven surrounding provinces will prepare 500 million shi. This king will give the 500 million shi privately."

"It should be able to come together."

"You can't give King Yan any more chances, otherwise, if this toss continues, everyone will lose, and no one will become a winner."

King Qin opened his mouth, but as soon as he said this, Prince Qin heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he really thought that the 5000 million shi of grain was made by King Qin's mansion. If this is the case, it would be better.

"Your Majesty understands."

Liu Yanming nodded, in this case, it's okay.

"Old Liu Ge, there are a few things that I will ask you alone, and you want to answer clearly."

King Qin didn't seem to care about the issue of food, but asked about other things.

"Please ask your lord."

The latter surrendered.

"Do you think the current situation is caused by His Majesty, or there are people behind the scenes."

King Qin opened his mouth and asked the other party.

Faced with this question, Liu Yanming originally wanted to answer that someone was behind the scenes, but after thinking about it, he fell silent.

After a while, Liu Yanming shook his head and said.

"It's hard for the lower officials to guess, but the probability of someone behind the scenes is the greatest."

Liu Yanming still insisted on his own ideas. Since the empress ascended the throne, she has indeed had some tricks, beyond his imagination, but at this age, the empress is still immature after all.

It can be seen in many things.

So he thought that there must be a master behind this to guide the empress.

"it is good."

King Qin nodded and spoke immediately.

"Since this is the case, Mr. Liu Ge must be extremely careful in doing things in the future. I don't have much time for this king, and this future is in your hands after all."

"It's nothing to stumble, just pay more attention in the future, but don't lose yourself, otherwise the next time you will stumble, maybe you will fall into the abyss."

The king of Qin gave a serious explanation.

"Respect and follow the teachings of the prince, and the officials will keep it in mind."

Liu Yanming responded seriously, while King Qin continued to speak.

"Okay, but the 5000 million shi of grain is not free. I have to make it clear to His Majesty that the provinces are borrowing grain. If the grain is enough, it must be returned to the provinces. The rest will also need to be repaid when the rice is successfully converted into mulberry."

"Also, we must pay close attention to the matter of the Great Wei Baochao. After the conversion of rice to mulberry is over, this matter is the top priority."

"If we can control the big Wei Baochao, today's loss is nothing more than a drop in the bucket."

King Qin spoke up and mentioned another matter.

"My lord, don't worry, the samples of treasure banknotes have been made. When the rice is changed to Sang Ding, the next official will issue it immediately."

The latter spoke out.

"There should be no problem with this matter."

King Qin nodded, but he was still a little worried.

"Of course not."

"There is no problem."

For this matter, Liu Yanming vowed that the Department of Banknote Accounts of the Great Wei Bao did not study it in a day or two, but pondered it for more than 20 years, and tried it in some cities, and the effect was particularly good.

Yang Dang was convinced and had nothing to say.

How could something go wrong.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Thank you, Mr. Liuge."

King Qin nodded, but the latter didn't dare to take it too seriously, and said again and again: "It's the prince who has worked hard."

"Okay, I'm going to rest first, and you go back to make arrangements in time, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with business tomorrow."

King Qin opened his mouth, and Liu Yanming also left.

After Liu Yanming left, King Qin looked at Liu Yanming's back, then stared at the sky, and spoke slowly.

"Brother, is this what you left behind?"

He said to himself, and the prince on the side suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

And late at night.

In Tianxiang Courtyard, Xu Shouyun reappeared.
