Chapter 214 I am waiting for the loyal king to love the country
Faced with Li Zhe's threat, Yin Qishan's face turned pale. Does this fucking have something to do with him?
You have to jump out of the wrong way, but you found that you fell into the well, and you wanted to pull me in with your backhand. Are you still an individual?
But although Yin Qishan was angry, there was no other way. After all, his hometown was also in Jiangnan. If he spoke now, if Li Zhe said that the scenery of his hometown was good and Mo Zizai went there to stroll around, it would be over.
So Yin Qishan suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped forward, and said to Mo Zizai: "Prince, the official thinks this move is inappropriate."
"If the prince and Your Majesty want to go to Jiangnan on weekdays, we will naturally try our best to share your worries. But the problem is that there is no food in the capital at this time, and we still rely on Your Majesty to take charge of the overall situation. If Your Majesty leaves, the capital without a backbone will be in chaos immediately."
"Shangshu Yin's words are so good that we have not thought about it carefully."
Li Zhe, who always faced Yin Qishan on weekdays, immediately jumped out to agree after Yin Qishan finished speaking, "I hope the prince can put the overall situation first and resolve the chaos in the capital first, and then go to Jiangnan."
"Yes, yes, this is a well-established statement from Shangshu Yin, I hope the prince will think twice."
Under the threat of Qian Min, Li Zhe and Xun Mao, the ministers in the court immediately spoke up and agreed with Yin Qishan, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly became quite harmonious.
"You guys don't know anything."
Mo Zizai said slowly: "I want to go to Jiangnan not only for a trip, but also want to solve the problem of food shortage in the capital."
"After all, I still have some spare money in my hands. Those merchants are afraid of losses and refuse to come to the capital to sell food. Then I will go and buy it."
"Don't worry, you guys, you only need to wait for me for three or five months. I will definitely buy enough food to return to the capital. At that time, the problem in the capital will naturally be solved."
When I heard Mo Zizai say that for three or five months, all the ministers present wished they could go up and beat Mo Zizai. It was still three or five months. If you transfer all the Yulin Army, let alone three or five months, the mobs would rob the food store in less than three or five days.
Oh, no, the grain bank is under Mo Zizai's jurisdiction. If he leaves, he will never fail to take the grain away. At that time, the grain bank has no grain, and the people who have no grain at home cannot grab the grain at the grain bank? It must be robbing them, the powerful people who have stored grain at home.
Thinking of this, all the ministers' faces turned green. Mo Zizai didn't have a kind heart!
Li Zhe did not hesitate at all and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, the food matter, the subordinates have a way to solve it!"
"Although Jizhou has not had a good harvest in recent years, there is still some surplus grain. The road to Jiangnan is far, so those grain merchants are unwilling to come. But it doesn't matter, I, Jizhou, are close."
"From preparing grain to transportation, the grain from Jizhou can be transported to the capital in up to five days."
"My land in Jizhou is full of loyal and patriotic people. For the stability of the capital, even if the food is lost, it will definitely come back."
Originally, no one wanted to let foreign food enter the capital, just to cause trouble for Mo Zizai, but now that this goal cannot be achieved, there is naturally no need to worry too much.
After all, the price of grain in the capital has increased several times now. As long as the grain is transported to the capital, there will be a lot of money to make. Who doesn’t want to make such money? So Li Zhe was the first to turn against the situation.
Looking at Li Zhe who was the first to rebel, Qian Min was so angry that she wanted to make money. She said so passionately and looked loyal and patriotic. She really wanted to be shameless.
However, after all, Qian Min himself had this plan. After all, grain merchants from all over the world were closely connected with the aristocratic families. If the grain merchants made money, it means that the local aristocratic families made money. If the aristocratic families made money, can they still be less money from them?
But Qian Min just said it so hard, and now he changed his words and said that it would be inappropriate to transport the grain from Jiangnan, so he looked at Li Zhe so angry.
"Back to the prince, I can do it in Liangzhou, and I am the people of Bingzhou who are loyal to the emperor and patriotism."
"I can do it in Yongzhou, too..."
"I can do it in Jingzhou, too..."
"I am Yuzhou..."
"Um?"
After hearing about Yuzhou, everyone was stunned for a moment, and turned their heads to look at the official in Yuzhou.
Because the three counties that were most affected by the Great Zhou Dynasty are in Yuzhou, and they can’t even eat enough for themselves. How could they still have surplus grain to be sold to the capital?
"I am not very good at Yuzhou, not very good at..."
The Yuzhou official smirked. He originally planned to sign up directly, but at worst he could go back to other prefectures and counties to buy it. After all, the difference is several times, so it is profitable.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he said it, so many people looked at him, and he suddenly felt that he was a little lacking in consideration. After all, Yuzhou was calling for food shortage every day. If he took out the food to sell it now, wouldn't he be asking Mo Zizai to hammer the others?
Looking at the farce in the court, Mo Zizai snorted coldly in his heart. All prefectures and counties, including Yuzhou, have surplus grains, but when faced with the natural disasters of the three counties, they refused to give up a grain of grain. Even if the court invested in a fair price to buy from them, they were really deprived of their hearts.
However, Mo Zizai didn't say much. He had to eat one bite at a time and kill people one by one. Sooner or later, he would settle the accounts with them.
"Since that's the case, there's no need to go to Jiangnan."
Tang Weiyi, who had been sitting on the dragon throne and watched coldly, said lightly: "But now the capital is in severe food shortage and cannot be delayed."
"Depending on the distance, I will give you three to seven days, up to seven days. I will see the first batch of grain transported to the capital. If there are any prefectures and counties that cannot be delayed, you just now, take off your official uniforms by yourself."
"I, please follow the order."
In this court, Tang Weiyi kept her word, so after she finished speaking, the ministers immediately bowed and agreed.
After discussing this matter, there was basically nothing particularly important about the morning court. After shaking for a while, the morning court dispersed according to time.
After leaving the Golden Palace, almost all the ministers looked happy. After all, there was an extra way to make money out of thin air, so who would be unhappy?
"Master Qian, why do you look so ugly?"
After Li Zhe left the Golden Palace, he deliberately did not leave just to block Qian Min. After seeing Qian Min come out, he immediately stepped forward and teased: "Oh, I understand. It must be because the land in Jiangnan cannot share the worries of His Majesty."
"But it doesn't matter. Although you can't share your worries for Your Majesty, you have avoided a lot of losses for the Jiangnan Land. The grain merchants in Jiangnan Land will definitely be very 'great' you."
Li Zhe was completely sarcastic about Qian Min. After all, with the price of grain in Jiangnan, it can be at least several times the amount of grain transported by water. Therefore, Qian Min was not to avoid losses in Jiangnan, but to make Jiangnan's grain merchants earn a lot of money less.
