Chapter 283 Grain prices continue to fall, and the nobles are very collapsed

Xu Hongji said at this time.

After hearing this, Dou Ding nodded: "Maybe, that means the court is also trying to bet with us, and wants to use this method to not only make silver coins flow, but also to ruin our entire family."

"It seems that the court is confident. If we might as well admit defeat, we should quickly put the grain on the market, and take advantage of the price of two or five cents of silver coins."

Zhu Guobi stepped down.

"No! Wouldn't that all previous efforts be wasted?"

Xu Hongji directly rejected Zhu Guobi's proposal and said, "Where is it easy to go to sea? How many people know where North Korea is, where Japan is, and where Siam is. Besides, who knows how much grain these foreigners have? In my opinion, the richest place is still my place in China. The imperial court can only transfer grain to Huguang, Henan, Shandong, and Sichuan. There is no other food supply. What your highness is doing right. We have to continue doing this and fight the court to the end! The court will lose!"

Xu Hongji was a little gambled and then said excitedly, "If you want to throw it away, throw it away. Anyway, I would rather take a gamble than be directly searched by him, Zhu Youxiao in the future!"

"What the Duke of the State said makes sense. Going to sea is not that easy. Even if you succeed in going to sea, you cannot be sure how much food you can get. In my opinion, the court does not have such ability. It is not the time to give up at this time. Therefore, His Highness Fu and His Highness Lu brought another three million taels, and we must continue to fight."

Dou Ding echoed.

"Then keep fighting. I will pay another two million taels to take out all the Yucai!"

Xu Hongji stood up and said.

When Zhu Guobi saw this, he said, "Since that's the case, I will pay another million taels."

For a time, the Nanjing nobles and nobles did not think that the court could get enough food to go out to sea, and the Ming Dynasty, as a state-owned country, did not pay enough attention to overseas.

In addition, these nobles and nobles also had a gambler mentality, which had risen to the rise in grain prices and were unwilling to admit failure, so they continued to invest money to continue to repurchase the grain sold by the imperial court at a high price.

...

"Siam is at this location, tell Shen Yourong that the navy will follow my latest name on the Yellow Sea and the East Sea coast to Ningbo, and then go from Ningbo to the chicken cage on Dongfan Island. After the chicken cage, go south. You will first go to Annan, and then go west around Annan, and you will be able to reach Siam!"

Zhu Youxiao did know where North Korea is, where Japan is, and where Siam is. He even remembers the rough distance. People in this era have to go out to sea to explore in person. At this time, he asked the cabinet ministers to draw an order to Shen Yourong and issued instructions on Shen Yourong's next trip to Siam.

In addition to having good navigational capabilities because of Zhu Youxiao, a person who knows world geography and some navigation theories, and through the geographical knowledge and navigation knowledge provided by some Western missionaries, the Ming Dynasty also has better battleships and navigational instruments due to the improvement of shipbuilding technology and artillery technology. Therefore, for the current Ming Dynasty, going to sea is not a problem.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Youxiao dared to have enough confidence to fight this kind of economic war with the wealthy and wealthy families in China.

"How is the situation of purchasing grain on the market now?"

Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian.

"When I returned to the emperor, there were still many people buying grain, and the people from Henghe Grain Shop were still buying grain at high prices. In addition, there were more and more openings about the court's actions against the nobles. Dongchang did not dare to act without action, so I asked the emperor to show his advice."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

"They are trying to conquer public opinion, afraid that I will copy them directly, but now I really don't plan to break up and copy them directly, and continue to reduce the price!"

Zhu Youxiao ordered Li Zhizao and others.

"yes!"

Li Zhizao and others replied.

...

"Two silver coins per stone rice!"

"Reduced again?"

"This is about to fall back to the price before the rebellion."

The scholars and people in Jiangnan were surprised again.

News of continued decline in grain prices quickly spread throughout Jiangnan.

The Funing Marquis Zhu Guobi was completely unable to sit still this time, so he couldn't help but find Xu Hongji and others, smashed the table, and shouted loudly: "I've surrendered again, I've surrendered again! I took the initiative to burn all the last little grain in my house, why did I surrender again!"

Xu Hongji looked at Dou Ding.
