The courtiers were very excited when they found out about the benefits.

As a result, all the resolutions were adopted in an extremely swift manner.

Everything began to be pushed according to Liu Che's intentions.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, everyone went home and prepared to gather food and participate in this feast.

Since Shaofu has so many reserves of salt and iron, everyone feels that just 500,000 stone salt and 1 million catties of iron are not enough to even plug their teeth!

It's best to be able to eat all the reserves of Shaofu!

Many brains immediately kicked in, and it was clear that how much of this feast could reach the stomach depended on one's own food reserves.

But the question is - even if it is a top prince of ten thousand households, to be honest, how much reserve can his own granary have?

10,000 stones of grain, piled up, are already like a hill.

If 100,000 stone of grain were concentrated in one place, it would be a nightmare!

Everyone is just a prince, not a prince, not an emperor.

It is impossible to have such a complete and strong storage base and manpower and material resources to maintain a large-scale grain warehouse.

Not to mention keeping it safe.

In the granaries of most of the lieges, the scale of 20,000 or 30,000 stone was suffocated.

No matter how much it is, not only is their warehouse unbearable, but the cost and maintenance are even more headaches!

And twenty or thirty thousand stone of grain, in this feast, what is it?

Gross doesn't count!

Could it be that everyone has worked hard for a long time just to exchange the food at home for two or three thousand stone salt?

It's uncomfortable to think about it!

Many people's eyelids jumped, and they hit the idea on Shaofu and Da Nong Ling.

As we all know, the imperial court implemented the policy of protecting the price of grain in Guanzhong.

The core of this policy is: no matter how landslides and cracks outside. Beacons are everywhere, and the price of grain in Guanzhong. It will always be constant before the bottom line set by the Shaofu.

As long as the bottom line of Shaofu is exceeded, the official warehouse of the imperial court in Guanzhong will begin to intervene.

Plenty of grain reserves. It is enough to beat any mother who dares to play speculation and hoard in Guanzhong.

But on the other hand, this policy also has a huge loophole.

That is: the Shaofu and the Great Agricultural Order must ensure that, at all times, the price of grain in Guanzhong is maintained at the level they recognize.

Other words......

Everyone laughed.

As soon as someone walked out of the palace gate, he said loudly with a righteous face: "Now, it is the moon of Meng Chun." The price of grain in Guanzhong is as high as 57 yuan and one stone, how can the people of Li live their lives? Our courtiers, as courtiers, should ask for the people's lives! ”

Immediately, someone said, "That's how it should be!" The price of grain in this pass, according to the servant's opinion, should be about forty yuan! In this matter, I should go and talk to the Great Agricultural Commander and the Young Governor......"

Countless people looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of joy.

Shaofu. That's a sieve!

In the past 60 years, we have persevered and always dug the foot of the Shaofu, various skills and various means. All are already max.

Every year, Shaofu has a wealth of at least 50 million yuan, which is divided among heroes from all walks of life.

Among them are the ministers. There are liehous, even. The most diligent person with the hoe is also surnamed Liu. It's the aunt of today's son, the eldest princess of Guantao!

In such an environment, everyone digs the foot of the wall of Shaofu, which is called digging, and it is justified and fair.

It is rumored that last year, on the birthday of the eldest princess of Guantao, she directly pulled cattle, sheep, fish, salt sauce and cloth silk from the kitchen and weaving room of Shaofu to her home, and pulled away more than a dozen carts of materials.

didn't even say hello to Shaofu Ling.

Afterwards, Shaofu still had to be shy, sent a document, and begged for the pavilion Tao to sign and approve: these things were indeed transferred by the princess of the pavilion pottery......

This Nima really makes people feel that if they don't wave the hoe, they are sorry for themselves!

Nowadays, when everyone encounters a problem, the first thing that comes to mind is, of course, to find Shaofu!

The policy of protecting the price of grain jointly implemented by the Shaofu and the Great Agricultural Order and the Internal History. At this moment, it becomes extremely cute.

There is a lot of food in Shaofu.

In Guanzhong alone, there are at least a dozen grain reserve bases of all sizes, storing at least four million stone of reserve grain.

In the Kanto region of Luoyang, Suiyang, Xingyang and Aocang, there are at least twice as many reserves.

Aocang's grain, except for the Son of Heaven, no one dares to move.

But in other places, that's it.

Most people immediately know what they should do next.

Of course, it is to join forces, let Shaofu lower the price of grain first, and then wait for others yourself, and you can sweep the goods crazily.

In order to stabilize grain prices, Shaofu will inevitably adjust grain.

Then, everyone took this low-priced grain and went to Shaofu where to exchange salt and iron.

This one changes hands, and you can make a lot of money.

Even, some people who feel that they have a hard relationship and a big background don't even bother to do this step.

They planned to go directly to Shaofu to ask for food.

At the market price, the grain of Shaofu was 'bought'.

It's just that this 'buy' is a bit special, who calls yourself a little tight for a while?

But the empathetic Shaofu and Da Nong Ling will definitely fully understand their difficulties.

At most, I'll make an IOU.

Will the dignified prince (the two-thousand-stone giant) still owe money and not pay it back?

Then, the show begins.

They didn't even save the step of transporting it to Pengcheng.

Directly hand over the grain to Shaofu and let Shaofu help them transport grain.

Anyway, Shaofu itself has to transfer grain to Pengcheng.

Those grains from Aocang and Shu County have to go over.

Then by the way, let's help Benjun Hou (Benguan) bring the grain over.

It is believed that the wise colleagues of the Shaofu and the great peasant Zhu Cao will not refuse the hand of friendship extended by a marquis (2,000 stones).

So, this left hand turned to the right hand, and without digging out a copper plate, he could easily get his hands on tens of thousands of stones of salt and iron. (It's not that I don't want to do more, it's just that it's too ugly.) You might have to be slapped in the face, besides. If you eat too much, you will be angry. In case of public anger, a stunned person, and the matter is poked out, then it is still playing with hair? ）

Many people think this in their hearts, speak righteous and awe-inspiring words in their mouths, and act extremely quickly.

Soon, in just half a day, the entire Shaofu and the Great Agricultural Order all fell.

In front of a lobby group composed of so many ministers and princes. Many bureaucrats in Shaofu and Da Nongling, before they even figured out what the other party wanted, their knees involuntarily softened, and they immediately knelt and licked.

A few people who wanted to be reserved and reserved were immediately intimidated by various threats, and they broke out in a cold sweat and immediately shut up.

And the rest, who refuse to go along with it, are few.

Moreover, the location is not critical. Their voices of opposition and skepticism have been almost ignored.

No matter how much you oppose it, it will be invalid!

Not to mention, the princes, ministers. It came with great righteousness.

Those who oppose it, before they even open their mouths, have already been labeled as 'disregarding the hardships of the people.' The big hat of a thief who harms all the people for his own selfishness. Then countless saliva squirted over.

These objections, thus. Immediately, he was drowned in the sigh of 'sighing the hardships of the people and sympathizing with their suffering'.

The next day, the Shaofu and the Great Nong Ling Yamen jointly announced: After research, they felt that in the month of Meng Chun, the price of grain in Chang'an was too high and it was necessary to suppress it.

The price of grain in Guanzhong fell in response to the sound, and immediately began to dive.

In the morning, it fell directly to fifty dollars a stone.

By the time the market closed in the afternoon, the latest quotation of Chang'an's grain price had become forty-five yuan.

It's just that......

Oddly enough, while food prices have been falling.

However, many people who were in a hurry took all kinds of grain bags and fighting utensils and went to various grain stores and even yamen to buy grain, but they all found ...... There is no more food.

In the whole of Chang'an, all the grain stores and government offices have sold out of grain.

But except for those who are really anxious to buy food and go home to cook, most of the people don't care about it.

Food prices have been falling and plunging.

That's a good thing!

If you can't buy it today, you can't buy it!

It even began to spread that Shaofu was determined to suppress the price of grain below forty yuan, so that the people could eat cheap, reliable and high-quality food!

As a result, there are more people on the sidelines.

Everyone thought that they would wait until the price of food reached forty dollars or less before buying it.

Even those who are short of food are not in a hurry.

When they returned home, they borrowed food from their neighbors and relatives.

Since the price of food is bound to fall, everyone is willing to borrow food.

However, whether it is the ministers, the princes, or the people, they have forgotten that now, in Chang'an City, there is still a pair of hidden eyes staring at them.

The reports of the embroidered clothes were continuously passed into the Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che had already noticed this when food prices began to change.

By the evening, Liu Che had completely figured out what had happened and what had happened.

"These guys ......," Liu Che cried and laughed as he held the various reports sent back by the embroidered guard.

In this matter, the princes and ministers who were gearing up did not guard against it at all, or rather, they did not have the awareness of vigilance at all.

Everyone knows about embroidered clothes, but no one knows how powerful this nascent spy agency is.

They have never been in contact with the spies.

In the hearts of most people, this matter is not a rebellion, second, there is no opposition to the Son of Heaven, and third, there is no illegality.

Emperor Lao Tzu can't control it at all!

Even if you do, what can you do?

Punishment without teaching is a big taboo!

If the law does not prohibit it, it is legal, and besides, everyone occupies the name of righteousness.

Under the banner of asking for life for the people, benefiting the fathers and elders, and caring for the people.

They are not worried at all, what will go wrong.

"I can only say that you are so young...... Liu Che threw the various files that recorded the discussions and division of grain among the princes to the ground.

This matter, Liu Cheming is clear, and he must not interfere.

Can't even object.

If he opposes it, the people's grievance will come to him, the emperor.

The common people don't care if there is a conspiracy, whether there are problems, or whether there are drawbacks in this matter.

They only know that in the month of Meng Chun, there is no harvest, and everyone has to buy food to survive.

Naturally, the lower the price of food, the better.

Before the crossing, Liu Che, who was a small people, understood the way of thinking of the people too well.

Until the problem is exposed, they will only applaud and applaud the low food prices.

It was only when they discovered that the low food prices were only a short-lived fad, and that most of them had been fooled, that their indignation and anger were ignited.

At that time, it was Liu Che who was also injured......

No way, who called him emperor?

Since the emperor is the supreme ruler, he enjoys infinite authority and supreme authority.

Then correspondingly, also bear all the good and bad, his pot and someone else's pot.

Things really have to drag on until the people find out that they have been fooled, and Liu Che's best result is that the people's popularity has plummeted, and at the same time, he has to throw a few scapegoats out.

But that didn't work!

From then on, the people's trust in the government will be greatly reduced.

As long as the state fools the people once, and the second time a policy is promulgated, everyone will look at it with suspicion and doubt.

Credibility, as long as you lose it, and then want to get it back, it will be difficult!

Therefore, Liu Che seems to have the only choice but to admit this loss, swallow his teeth with blood, and continue to bleed heavily to maintain low food prices after these guys have eaten and drunk enough.

Otherwise, he will have to choose between angering the people now, drawing their hatred to himself, and being doubted and distrusted in the future.

"I'm afraid, these guys are sure of me and will choose the latter......" Liu Che sneered twice.

The discipline of the ruling class has always been outrageously low.

What has been said, like a fart that has been released, is not accidental, but the norm.

When it is unfavorable, fool the people to take the blame, and when it is beneficial, they swallow it alone, and there is not even any scum left.

For the bureaucrats and aristocrats, fooling the common people is a hairy crime?

Confucius said that the people can make it, but not let it, and the true essence of it is exhausted.

It's just that......

"I'm a person who wants to do big things, and Anken Ruer and others lost their discipline for a little profit?" Liu Che deeply knows what he wants to do.

Whether it is to compete for hegemony with the Xiongnu or to colonize India in the future.

He needs his people to know clearly that he, the emperor, counts when he speaks.

Just like the Shang Dynasty log Lixin, it gave the Qin Empire seven generations of scenery and strength.

But it only takes a year to ruin all this.

When the Qin Empire fell, even the base camp of Guanzhong, the three Qin fathers, abandoned it.

Those who were once the cornerstone of the empire, the children of the Three Qin who supported the Qin Empire to pursue the north and unify the world, stood by and watched, watching the destruction of Xianyang, watching the Ying clan fall into the dust and hell.

At the time of filial piety, the Qin State even lost the Hangu Pass, and the land west of the river fell into the hands of the enemy, and Qin did not die.

During the reign of King Wu of Qin, the state of Qin was besieged by the world, and Qin did not die.

During the Battle of Changping, in the face of Zhao's war of attrition and stalemate, the Qin people, even eighty-year-old people, began to transport grain to the front line, and Qin still did not die.

The six countries attacked Qin, the soldiers approached Hangu Pass, and the whole world began to besiege Qin, but Qin still did not die.

Why was it that when he unified the world, merged Sanyue in the south, and chased the Xiongnu in the north, almost in his heyday, he was yelled at by a few peasants, and he died?

Throughout the dynasties, countless people have given countless answers.

But in Liu Che's view, Qin's demise was due to the fact that it had destroyed the foundation on which it relied to be strong.

This foundation comes from Shang Ying's log Lixin.

When the Qin Empire lost its credibility, its aristocratic class, its ruling class, and its bureaucratic class abandoned its roots.

Therefore, its demise is no longer strange. (To be continued......)
