Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

They only felt that His Royal Highness the King of Chu seemed to know magic, and it was amazing to turn disasters into whatever they wanted.

"You guys should still remember that I promised a big project of a noble family before? And the acquisition of Locust is related to that big project!"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask: "You don't want to sell the locusts after you get the money back, do you? Then who would buy them? Not to mention if you want locusts, you can find them everywhere. Catch whatever you want!"

Li You smiled and said, "Mr. Fang's words are wrong. Think about the price of very cheap cloth. After it is processed into ready-made clothing, the price will soar tenfold or even more than a hundredfold? If you want to sell the same thing, the key is Rework it!"

Li Shimin frowned when he heard the words, and said, "Yang Jie, I know that you are very good at doing business, but now that the Tang Dynasty has been severely affected, is it the time to do business?"

"Father, my son's acquisition of locusts is not just as simple as doing business." Li You said lightly, "This acquisition has many benefits, and it can increase the enthusiasm of the people to hunt locusts, and can better deal with the future. the great famine.”

"Can this still cope with the Great Famine?!"

Everyone's eyes widened. His Highness King Chu's thinking was too jumpy, right?

"Of course," Li You said with certainty, "In the face of the great famine, the most important resource is food. We all know that. Then you also know that locusts can be eaten. In this case, locusts are also food. Ah, an important resource to hoard!"

"Okay...it seems that's right..."

Li Shimin and others all opened their mouths, because locusts are everywhere now and it is not difficult to catch them, and the time to use locusts as food is still short, so they have not been able to react to this matter for a while.

"That's it, locusts are also food, but don't engage in food discrimination... Then the court naturally needs a lot of these resources in order to better cope with the upcoming famine."

With that said, Li You looked at Li Shimin and said, "Actually, if the royal father doesn't want to pay the money, it's fine, it can be paid by Li's property. However, in this way, the court will have no shares in this big project, but Li's property. The stake will increase.”

Li You's words made Li Shimin extremely entangled. On the one hand, he really didn't want to throw a lot of money out at this critical moment. After all, he was so poor. On the other hand, he was also interested in Li You's ability to make money. Believe it or not.

So, in the end, do you want to gamble with a lot of blood?

"The minister will pay some of the money first!" Fang Xuanling had already called out when Li Shimin was still hesitating, "It just so happens that the minister can also share the worries of the court... By the way, count me a share of the project, hehe..."

Li Shimin glared at him all at once, was this guy eager to take a ride with Li You to make money before he made up his mind?

What else was said to share the worries of the court... If there is no last sentence, you can still believe it.

With Fang Xuanling starting, the rest of the people also reacted, saying that they could contribute, and then join Li You's big project by the way.

After all, Li You has created business miracles one after another in the past, with a lot of money coming into the account, but many people are envious and jealous. Now is the time when the best can get a share of the pie, how can they let it go? ?

"Hey, I know, the imperial court just needs to pay this sum of money."

Seeing this, Li Shimin could only sigh and make up his mind.

Depend on!It's cheap to sell well... Li You is very upset when he hears it. Now that he is so reluctant, won't he be happy when he really makes money?

Li You pouted and said: "If the father is really unwilling, then there is no need to force it..."

"No! At this critical juncture, how can I care about the gains and losses!"

Li Shimin simply answered quickly, and immediately rejected Li You righteously.

"..."

Li You's cheeks twitched. Actually, you really want to make money together, right?Is that right? !

But now I can finally start eating. Fortunately, the food is still hot, and everyone is satisfied with a full meal.

Before leaving, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "By the way, Yang Jie, I still think of one thing... You said that if locusts are a resource that needs to be handed, do you need to increase the control of the remaining grains? ?"

"About this, Erchen already has a plan. After all, Erchen has full authority to deal with disaster relief."

Li You took out a dozen rice paper from his arms and threw it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin unfolded it curiously, and his expression suddenly changed abruptly!

Chapter 577 A stroke of genius! (sixth more)

The surrounding Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, and Zhang Liang saw Li Shimin's complexion change greatly, and they also raised their eyebrows.

"What on earth did your majesty see?! Even your majesty can't keep calm anymore!"

This is an extremely rare thing. You must know that Li Shimin has always been the kind of person who has always been the kind of person who has always collapsed in front of Taishan. This is also a necessary accomplishment as an emperor, but even Li Shimin can't continue to remain indifferent at this time!

"This is just a glance at His Royal Highness King Chu's method, what is it..."

Just when Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were curious, Li Shimin had solemnly put away the rice paper.

He fixedly looked at Li You and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Really," Li You nodded, "this is the best way at the moment, and the sooner it is implemented, the better off we will be during the famine."

Li Shimin nodded and took a deep breath.

"Well, I know... I will announce the specific matters in the morning tomorrow, and then let's discuss it together."

After that, Li Shimin left in a hurry, obviously still thinking about this matter wholeheartedly.

Seeing that Li Shimin had no plans to show them for the time being, Fang Xuanling and the others also gave up asking.

……

The next morning, after Li Shimin hurried to the court, he took out the rice paper that Li You had given in public.

"This is the grain control strategy that the King of Chu gave me yesterday. I studied it all night, but I still can't decide whether it is feasible or not. I would like to ask all Aiqing to brainstorm."

With that said, Li Shimin beckoned, and the document with the same content printed by movable type was distributed to everyone by the eunuch.

Of course, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng also had a share. When they opened it, they were also shocked!

"From now on, food stamps will be issued nationwide, and each person can only buy food with food stamps. In addition to this, the free buying and selling of food is no longer allowed. If anyone finds out, he will be severely punished!"
