Chapter 281: Asking Questions (II)
Yan Shu was a little secretly worried, when he asked Su Jin to come up with a countermeasure yesterday, this kid prevaricated, and fled back with wine to cover his face, at this moment when he took the initiative to raise food, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, I hope this kid was just hiding yesterday, not talking nonsense, otherwise not only him, but also himself will be implicated.
I only listened to Su Jindao: "The matter of Yangzhou is the matter of a government, and the grass people can solve this matter by raising their hands, but the matter of a city is easy to do, and the affairs of the whole country are difficult to do. ”
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Yan Aiqing, you can tell Su Jin about the countermeasures discussed by the imperial court." ”
Yan Shu coughed and said: "The minister wants to hear how Su Jin plans to solve the matter in Yangzhou, and then talk about the imperial court's countermeasures against the people's grain storage." ”
Zhao Zhen and Su Jin both understood that Yan Shu wanted to hear whether Su Jin was qualified to listen to the following words, although Yan Shu recommended Su Jin, but if Su Jin couldn't put forward some constructive opinions on this matter, Yan Shu would definitely not continue to recommend Su Jin.
Although in Yan Shu's opinion, Su Jin is an excellent candidate to do this, and it cannot be said that Yan Shu hides his selfish intentions from Su Jin, but after all, he doesn't understand it thoroughly enough, in case this guy is not qualified enough and wastes his cultivation in vain, this major event can not be delayed, famine is imminent, and delaying one more day may cause greater chaos; What's even worse is that the consequence of this is that he doesn't talk about the phase, and he can't even sit still in the position of the third envoy.
Su Jin smiled and said: "The grass people's method is very simple, the people of Yangzhou Mansion are in turmoil because of food, I heard Lord Fubi say, but there is no grain in the market, the price of grain in the black market is extremely high, and the people can't afford to buy food at all; If the grass people do it, they only need to transport a large amount of grain and sell it at a reasonable price, and the people's will will be stable, and at the same time, cooperate with the policy of the imperial court to force the grain profiteers to spit out the grain, and everything will be fine. ”
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "Hey, I think so, but you take it for granted, how can there be so much grain to stabilize food prices?" The 300,000 people in Yangzhou Mansion can calm the matter without five or six hundred thousand stones to stabilize grain prices? Could it be that it will be transferred from the left near the state capital and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall? ”
Yan Shu didn't object, but thought about it, and didn't seem to take Su Jin's words for granted.
Su Jin said: "Your Majesty, the grass people have their own way to get the grain, and I dare not say more, but five or six hundred thousand stones is still a piece of cake; But this is not the point, the point is what kind of countermeasures the imperial court has to cooperate with the next matter of cleaning up the grain. ”
Zhao Zhen was a little surprised, but seeing that Su Jin didn't look like he was joking, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you get five or six hundred thousand stone grain?" Where did you get so much food? ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't know, the grass people are born in businessmen, and they have a lot of good friends in the business world, they are all serious about the grain business, and the inventory of more than a dozen families is no problem when hundreds of thousands of stones, and the grass people have to sell this face to ask for them, it can't be said that they are completely sure, but they are still ninety percent sure." ”
Zhao Zhen said happily: "Oh? That's a good thing, but these people won't give it for nothing. ”
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said in his heart: You have a good calculation, who is willing to give it for nothing.
"Your Majesty, these people are all serious businessmen, it's not good to teach people to suffer, if the court doesn't give some benefits, there is nothing the grass people can do."
"I don't mean that, I mean that food is the most precious now, and I'm afraid the price can't be negotiated."
Su Jin said with a smile: "It's okay, it's on me, their purchase price should be consistent, the court will give them some benefits, and they will give some vanity in the future, which is enough to make them grateful to Dade." ”
Yan Shu stared at the side when he listened, the food that Su Jin said was just the 580,000 stone grain he had hoarded, this kid lied without thinking, even the emperor dared to deceive; However, it is not bad that this more than 500,000 stone grain is used for such a purpose, Yan Shu also understands that Su Jin has to lie, can you tell Zhao Zhen that there is a profiteer who hoards Juqi standing in front of you? It's no wonder if you don't get dragged out and chopped alive.
"Yan Aiqing, do you think Su Jin's method is feasible?" Zhao Zhen asked.
Yan Shu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it is feasible, but the price of this grain must be negotiated with Su Jin and those merchants, I don't know how much Su Jin thinks the imperial court is appropriate?" ”
Su Jin rolled his eyes and summed up, his own 80,000 yuan purchase price is low, and it is certain to make money, but Yan Biyun's 500,000 stones are collected at a large price, so it will be a loss, but it is a lot of money, so it is necessary to ensure a tie.
"Lord Yan, according to the current situation, I think that the higher price is also a kind of appreciative attitude of the imperial court to the merchants who take the initiative to show up the grain stock, since the grain price in Yangzhou has soared to two through one stone, as a reference, I think that the price of sixty-one stone has always been reasonable."
"What? No, absolutely not. "Yan Shu can't wait to go up and kick this kid a few times, his grain purchase price will definitely not exceed the consistent, and now he actually wants to earn nearly sixty percent of the huge profits, profiteers, profiteers, the imperial court is already financially tight, otherwise this year's autumn season has been canceled In order to save money, the war in the northwest has cost money like running water, these people are simply a bunch of vampires.
Su Jinxin said: Old thing, and don't spend your money, the money of the court is not earned in vain, is it kept for those corrupt officials to fill their pockets?
"Consistently, this is the highest price that the imperial court can give." Yan Shu said with a cold face.
Su Jin scratched his head and said, "That's it, take a step back, and keep five." ”
"The beauty you think, consistent two, this is already the grace of the court."
"You can talk about it yourself, now the market price is more than consistent two, you make people unprofitable, who will work for the imperial court? Fourth, if you don't want to, you will stop this matter. Su Jin's face twitched, Yan Biyun's purchase price of 500,000 stone grain was always five, and selling it consistently four was equivalent to losing 50,000 yuan out of thin air, and Su Jin's heart was dripping blood.
"Consistent three, if you can't pull it down, the court will call you by all means...... Those businessman friends can't get a penny, think about it. ”
"If you are not afraid of the cold heart of the world's businessmen, if you don't want to deal with the imperial court, you will strictly order the confiscation, if you have this kind of bullying mind, there is nothing to talk about, and you can't do anything less, otherwise the grass people won't do it, you can find someone else."
"You...... Consistently three, not a single point will give you a price increase. ”
"Consistent four, I won't let a penny."
"Consistent ......"
"Consistent Four ......"
“……”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laugh and watched the two of them bargaining and entanglement in front of him like small people in the market, seeing that the two of them blushed and refused to give in to each other, it was not a game to go on like this, so he had to come out and explain: "Su Jin, how about giving me a face?" ”
Su Jin saw that Zhao Zhen came out to reconcile, but there was no way, if the emperor didn't give face, you would have no face from now on.
"Since the emperor has opened the golden mouth, how dare the grass people disrespect, even if the emperor wants to take it at the same price, the grass people will never swear to do it."
Zhao Zhen wanted to die, he knew that he would directly ask him to win it consistently, wouldn't he save hundreds of thousands of dollars? This guy made a half-day price, and in the end he gave a fly to eat for himself, which is really disgusting.
However, as soon as Chrysostom opened, 10,000 horses were difficult to chase, Zhao Zhen knocked out his teeth and swallowed in his stomach, and he didn't want to lose his majesty, so he immediately said: "I have appointed you as a special envoy for grain affairs, and I am under the control of the three divisions, and I have full authority to deal with this major matter of raising grain." ”
Su Jindao: "Food envoy? How big is this? ”
Yan Shuwu said angrily: "No grade and no grade, how big do you say?" ”
Su Jinxi said: "It turns out that it is already beyond the grade, how can this grass people be restrained?" ”
"Phew, the beauty you think of is just a special envoy who does not enter the ninth grade, has no grade and no rank."
Su Jin was stunned and said: "What's the use of giving such a gradeless and rankless official position, isn't it difficult to do things everywhere?" I can't do this errand. ”
Zhao Zhen was angry and funny, and said warmly: "Su Jin, you have no meritorious service in the imperial examination, and I can't appoint you according to the normal grade this time, but you can rest assured, although your envoy has no grade or rank, but he is my special envoy for food affairs, assisting the three envoys to do special things, and they are not controlled by others, and I will also give you corresponding privileges to do things cheaply." ”
Su Jin thought for a while and said: "There are still some things that have not been explained, the emperor and Lord Yan have to make it clear before the grass people dare to accept the appointment, otherwise it is still the same sentence, find another master." ”
Yan Shu said: "Don't you just want to know what measures the imperial court will take to cooperate with this action?" ”
Su Jin nodded and said: "This is the most important thing, it is related to the final outcome of the matter, how determined the court is, how great the results will be." ”
"It's okay, the old man told you that." Yan Shu glanced at Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, Yan Shu knew that from this moment on, Su Jin was completely passed in Zhao Zhen's mind.
