Section 70 Early Dynasty (3)

Chao Cuo took the bamboo slips, spread them out, and then looked at them: Erchen Liu De heard carefully: Hong Fan Bazheng, one is food, and the other is goods......

At first, Chao Cuo didn't pay much attention to it, because although it was already very good to be able to write such a political essay at Liu De's age, it was still not enough to shake his Guisu theory.

As long as we persistently persist in it, sooner or later, the ideological atmosphere in which the people will focus on corn and light business and agriculture will naturally appear.

As for the donation of millet or something, it is just a means in the process of noble millet.

However, when Chao Cuo saw the back, his eyelids shook inadvertently.

"What a means!" Chao mistakenly watched the whole story, and had to sigh.

It is really because the matter of setting the price of grain protection mentioned in this article will inevitably not be done 10 years earlier, because there is no money, and if it is 10 years late, it may die because of too much opposition from the local government.

And at this point in time, it's really just right.

For example, if the attention of the princes is on the discussion of cutting the feudal domain of the imperial court, they will probably think that this is a means of buying people's hearts and minds by the imperial court if they react to such a policy that will not have much impact on them at all.

And the only grain merchants who may oppose it are not on the table at all.

Of course, Chao Cuo knows that if there are many rich people today, it is not an exaggeration to say that the rich are rich and rival the country.

However, money can't be changed into swords, and when swords are added, they have no ability to resist at all.

The strictest thing is that because most of the businessmen are rich and unkind, so the hatred among the people is full, and there are countless businessmen who hate them, and they dare to pack a ticket, as long as an edict from the Son of Heaven, he doesn't need to spend a single soldier, and one person can tie up all the rich businessmen in the world to Chang'an, and then judge them one by one.

Chao thought about it for a while, and bowed out: "Dare to ask Your Highness, if the protective price is implemented, how much money will the imperial court need to spend when it is one year old?" ”

He said: "Just taking Guanzhong as an example, tens of millions of stones of corn are harvested every year, and the minimum of 40 yuan per stone is only calculated, and tens of thousands of dollars are not enough!" ”

"And there are so many places in the world, and there are many people who don't produce in the Guanzhong, I'm afraid that the government treasury is not enough!"

As soon as Chao Cuo's words came out, it immediately resonated with many people, and they said: "Yes, yes, what Chao Neishi said is extremely true, and His Royal Highness's strategy is beautiful, but I'm afraid that the treasury can't support it!" ”

Most of these people have some relationship with the grain merchants in Guanzhong and Kanto.

Take people's money**......

But Liu De didn't do his homework, he sorted out his thoughts, got up and replied: "What Chao Neishi said is not unreasonable...... Correct...... Dare to ask the history of Chao Nei, can you know the amount of grain in Guanzhong in the past ten years? ”

Such an insignificant number, which hardly attracts the attention of others at this time, is naturally too lazy to remember.

But Liu De had seen it in the documents of the Inner History Yamen and wrote it down.

Liu Dedao: "Ten years ago, the annual grain in Guanzhong was only 500,000 stones, eight years ago it was 650,000 stones, and seven years ago it was 700,000 stones...... This year it's a million stones! Liu De recited this set of numbers fluently, he stood up, walked towards Chao Cuo step by step and asked: "Dare to ask Chao Neishi, in ten years, the number of grains has doubled, and after ten years, how much grain should Chang'an need?" ”

"Two million stones?" Liu De shook his head and said in an astonishing voice: "I'm afraid it's more than five million stones!" ”

Liu De clearly remembered that seventeen years later, in the first year of Yuanguang, Chang'an needed to transfer seven million stones of grain when he was one year old!

"Can Weishui afford a trough ship of five million stone per year?" Liu De looked at Chao Cuo and asked.

"Can't ......" Chao Cuo shook his head for a long time, and spat out the answer from his mouth.

Of course, the current Weihe River is impossible, even after seventeen years, Liu Che's imperial court spent countless efforts and dug three hundred miles of troughs, but it still can't meet the needs of Caoyun.

And when Chao Cuo spit out the words can't, countless people were immediately shocked.

Since Chao Cuo, who is an internal historian, admits that the Weihe River cannot afford five million stone of grain per year, that is to say, in ten years, there will be a food shortage in this pass!?

It's kind of incredible to think about!

Some ministers even said excitedly: "Your Highness is worrying about the sky, right?" When Lou Jing met Emperor Gao, he once said that the land in Guanzhong is enough to support the people of Guanzhong, and Qinchuan in Guanzhong is 800 miles away, and tens of millions of stones of corn are harvested every year, how can there be a shortage of food? ”

Yes, how can there be a shortage of food?

Guanzhong has a warm climate, a lot of rainfall, fertile land, and a large population, so how can there be a shortage of food?

Liu De smiled: "People! ”

"The land of Guanzhong can naturally feed the people of Guanzhong, but with you and me, we can't support it!" Liu De said with bad intentions: "This is also the reason why the first emperor ordered Jiang to wait for the country!" ”

Seeing Liu De talking about this public case, the minister immediately wisely shut up and stopped talking, for fear that this would arouse the mind of the Son of Heaven to expel Chehou.

At the beginning, Zhou Bo took over Chen Ping as prime minister and held great power.

But Leng Buding was stunned by an edict that fell from the sky.

The edict reads: The day before yesterday, I edicted the Marquis to take the country, or failed to do it, and the prime minister was important, and he took the lead.

Just dismissed the power of a generation of powerful ministers and sent them back to the feudal country.

But such a matter of power struggle that everyone knows, but Liu De was forcefully extended to the foresight and farsightedness of the first emperor......

There's really no way to argue with that.

Liu De didn't intend to let them go, the so-called it is advisable to chase the poor and chase the poor, not to sell the name of the overlord, he then threw out the killer weapon and said: "Do you still remember that at the beginning of Emperor Gao's determination of the world, Guanzhong Shimi was 5,000 yuan, and the people were cannibalistic? Could such a tragedy happen again? ”

Well, when it comes to this, the one who opposes it will definitely be a bad guy, not only a bad guy, but also a rebel with bad intentions, and it must be dragged out Ling Chi!

Liu De said again: "Actually, with the boy's strategy, it doesn't cost much!" Liu De continued to say in an astonishing voice: "It may cost a little more in the first year, but it is only twenty or thirty million yuan that can be solved, and then it may only need one or two million dollars a year to be enough, and there may even be money!" ”

"How is this possible?" Some people questioned.

"Of course it's possible!" Liu De said without hesitation: "The imperial court does not need to eat all the grain, taking Guanzhong as an example, the surplus grain that appears on the market every year is no more than one million stones, and among these million stones, the imperial court only needs to eat a part of it, at most 300,000 stones, which is enough to stabilize the price of grain!" ”

Liu De took out a coin from his arms and said to Chao Cuo: "Besides, with such copper coins that cannot be eaten or drunk, in exchange for corn piled up in the treasury, according to the boy's opinion, no matter how you look at it, it will be earned!" ”

Chao Cuo faced Liu De's trick to change the concept, and suddenly felt a little helpless, so he could only bow his head and say: "What His Royal Highness said is very true, and the minister seconded it!" ”

Since even Chao Cuo has seconded it, who would dare to oppose it?
