Chapter 212 I'm going to Jiangnan
In the court, at the most intense discussion among the ministers, Mo Zizai walked in from the back of the hall.
After seeing Mo Zizai, the originally bustling hall seemed to press the pause button, and everyone stopped and looked at Mo Zizai.
Mo Zizai found a chair, sat on it and adjusted his posture, and looked at the quiet ministers and said, "Continue to talk."
"If you talk to you, I will come and take a look. Just pretend that this king does not exist."
“Haha~”
When everyone heard Mo Zizai's words, they sneered in their hearts. The blood on the ground of the hall has not been wiped clean yet. When you don't exist, you are afraid that you are not impatient for life.
However, since Mo Zizai said this, other ministers were not good at saying anything. Qian Min, who was speaking just now, saw that the others were not speaking, so he stood up and continued: "Your Majesty, rumors spread everywhere in the capital, and the people went to the streets to grab grain. In just two days, the price of grain tripled."
"and……"
Speaking of this, Qian Min glanced at Mo Zizai and saw that he had no reaction. He then continued: "And the most important thing is that all major grain stores have been sealed up, and those small grain shops don't have much inventory at all."
"If they wait until their inventory is consumed, it may cause trouble."
"What is the incident that Mr. Qian said? "
Hearing Qian Min say this, Yang Weishang asked back.
But what made Mo Zizai feel strange was that Yang Weishang had clearly re-educated martial arts because of the accelerator. Although he could not make him younger, he could make him more energy and more healthy.
But now Mo Zizai looked over, Yang Weishang seemed to be older than the previous few days. Not only did he not feel full of energy, but he was even more listless than before.
Mo Zizai thought for a moment in his mind and figured it out. This old guy is pretending to be old.
But I have to say that I pretended to be quite similar, and I was really a drama master.
After hearing Yang Weishang's problem, Qian Min spoke directly: "I am worried that they will impact the grain market and even lead to civil unrest, which will cause chaos in the capital at that time."
"Don't worry about this money."
Mo Zizai took the speech and said indifferently: "I have already let the Yulin Army enter the capital to garrison, and the capital is in chaos."
When Qian Min heard Mo Zizai say that the Yulin Army had been stationed, he was slightly stunned, but there was no surprise. The Yulin Army was the main force in the capital, and it was as expected that they would be stationed. He just didn't expect Mo Zizai to move so quickly.
However, even if the Yulin Army is stationed, he considered the Yulin Army's issues when he was preparing this plan.
"The Yulin Army can indeed solve the urgent problem, but the problem that the people in the capital have no food to buy is not something that the Yulin Army can solve."
Qian Min looked at Mo Zizai and said, "If there is no food in the capital for a long time, even if there is a Yulin Army stationed in it, it will probably be difficult to suppress all the people."
Mo Zizai looked at Qian Min and said lightly: "So according to Master Qian's words, how should this matter be resolved?"
"The most important thing about the rumor in Beijing now is that the grain shops lack food, so the people believe it."
Qian Min looked at Mo Zizai and directly expressed his ultimate goal, "As long as the food can be supplied, the rumor will naturally be self-defeating."
"So the officials dared to ask the prince if they could unseal the sealed grain store and take out the grain store Litun to sell it?"
"Oh, the food price is so high now that I want to sell food too."
Mo Zizai pretended to sigh, "But what is circulating in the capital is not a rumor. There is indeed no food in the capital. The grain store that was seized by me actually has no food."
"Those grain merchants who were killed in heaven only knew how to sell grain, but they didn't know how to buy grain. After I sealed the grain shop, I found that there was not even a grain of food in those grain shops, so I was worried too."
"I don't know which bastard revealed the real news. If I let this king know, I must settle the score with him."
Seeing Mo Zizai, who was talking lies with his eyes open and still criticizing the mulberry trees, Qian Min had a gray face and didn't have a grain of food. He treated him as a fool. How much grain did those grain merchants have? Can he, the Minister of Revenue, know?
But now Mo Zizai said no. Even if he knew how much grain inventories the grain merchant had, it would be useless. Could it be that he would still dare to stand up and fight Mo Zizai? Mo Zizai said that he had no, he had to say that there was, that wasn't he looking for death?
If you want him to sprinkle blood on the Golden Palace, that's not good.
However, it doesn't matter whether Mo Zizai can give out food or not. His plan is an open conspiracy. If Mo Zizai gives out food, the three counties will not be able to rescue him. If Mo Zizai doesn't give out food, it will make the capital chaos. No matter how he chooses, it will be beneficial to him.
Thinking of this, Qian Min changed into a sad face, "If this happens, the officials will have no choice."
"Can't you buy some food from other places? My Zhou Dynasty is rich and vast, so you can't be short of food, right?"
"The grain prices in Beijing are so expensive nowadays. I think there should be many grain merchants willing to come to Beijing to sell grain, right?"
Mo Zizai looked at Qian Min and pretended to be curious and said, "For example, in Jiangnan, the hometown of fish and rice, the grain merchants there must be no shortage of food? If you walk on the water, you can arrive in three days, so isn't it enough to let the grain merchants from Jiangnan come to Beijing to sell grain?"
"The prince doesn't know anything, so it's not that easy to adjust food."
When Qian Min heard that Mo Zizai wanted to transfer grain from Jiangnan, he directly blocked the road. "First of all, the supply target of grain merchants is local, and grain is not easy to store, so just like the grain shops in Beijing, the grain shops in Jiangnan will not store too much grain."
"Secondly, although waterways are easy to walk, they have to pay a lot of taxes along the way. In addition, the loss during transportation, even if the grain prices in Beijing have increased several times, they will still lose money when they come to Beijing to sell grain, which is not worth the loss."
"So it wouldn't work for grain merchants from Jiangnan to come to Beijing to sell grain."
Mo Zizai was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and Qian Min also talked nonsense with his eyes open, and he made a lot of nonsense with his reasons. Anyway, no matter what, the grain from Jiangnan would not be transported to the capital. If anyone thinks that his reasons are nonsense, you can transport them yourself.
If you can transport a grain of grain from Jiangnan, then I will lose.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Although he knew Qian Min was talking nonsense, Mo Zizai did not expose him, but said with some regret: "I didn't expect that it was just a simple grain transport with so much knowledge. It seems that I am short-sighted when I don't go out."
Qian Min was a little proud when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Mo Zizai continue, "Since that's the case, then I will set off for a walk in Jiangnan after my wedding with His Majesty."
"Go and see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, and increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons so as not to make any jokes about ignorance in the future."
