Chapter 274 Food Crisis Handling Law
"Although what the empress said is true, with the average food price, food supply is the only way to ensure the survival of the people in the disaster area. This has always been the case, and the official is just a formality!" Han Yong is a veteran minister who likes to follow the rules in everything.
, so in his opinion, as long as things are done according to the rules, there will never be any adverse situation.
At least he felt that he was doing something for the people and doing something important to save the people from disaster, so he had a clear conscience. Although what Su Xuan said was true, he also felt that his disaster relief strategy was not wrong.
"Xiaoguan knows that what you do is for the country and the people, and what you do is also for the benefit of the people. Xiaguan has never denied this. But sir, have you ever thought about what the people of Yuzhou City need most now?" Su Xuan, this person
At that time, he said to Han Yong, "It's food, food that really saves lives, not an empty granary where they can see the price but not get it!"
Su Xuan's words were sonorous and powerful. She knew exactly what she was doing, so she said to Han Yong without any sense of guilt.
"Is it possible that the princess is driving up food prices for the benefit of the people?" Han Yong knew that he had done his best in disaster relief, but the results he got now were not what he expected, nor what the people of Yuzhou expected, but he didn't
There is also credit
Ku Lao was naturally unwilling to accept Su Xuan's complete rejection of him, and he even more disagreed with Su Xuan's practice of driving up prices, which was not selfish, but the correct way to help the people. He felt that this was a fallacy, a sophistry created by his selfish motives.
words.
"I dare not say that Xianguan's method is all for the common people and there is no selfish intention, but Xianguan believes that this is the only chance to save the food shortage in Yuzhou!" Su Xuan also did her part, and immediately admitted that her method was to save the people of Yuzhou.
the only way.
"It's absolutely ridiculous!" Han Yong got up from his chair angrily and glared at Su Xuan. "If raising prices can be considered a disaster relief measure, I should resign from my job as a disaster relief envoy now and let the princess take over. I would rather give
The princess will be your deputy!"
Han Yong's words were obviously angry, but when he was forced to have no way out by Su Xuan's words, he could only say these words against his will. After all, many things were beyond his control, especially their own.
A temper.
"Master Han, please don't be angry, please listen to me slowly!" Su Xuan saw that the old man was quite angry, so she stood up and comforted Han Yong, and helped Han Yong sit back in the chair.
superior.
Although Han Yong was a high-ranking official and a high-ranking member of the imperial court, he had never been treated like this before being helped back to his chair by Su Xuan, a princess. Even if he did not want to hear Su Xuan continue speaking, in this case he
It was hard to refuse, so in the end I could only reluctantly sit on the chair, and patiently listened to Su Xuan's words.
"Mr. Han, the practice of asking grain merchants to exchange grain for contracts has indeed encouraged grain merchants to charge exorbitant prices and hoard to a certain extent. However, merchants are pursuing profits and they feel that the grain business in Yuzhou is profitable. Naturally,
There will be a large number of grain merchants who will transport grain from other places to Yuzhou Prefecture and trade with us for exchanges.
As a result, more and more grain will gradually enter Yuzhou. Those grain merchants found that Yuzhou was flooded with grain, which was not as easy to sell as they had expected. Moreover, the large amount of grain was not conducive to preservation.
The easier it is to get moldy and break, if it really breaks down, you will lose all your money.
Next, in order to save their losses, grain merchants will buy grain at low prices to minimize their losses, even if they are not making money.
After such an operation, are the people of Yuzhou Prefecture still afraid that they will not be able to buy cheap food?" Su Xuan calculated every step to the extreme. She was basically sure that she could control the situation, and then continued to face Han Yong.
Said, "The increase in food prices is only temporary. After all, Xiaguan has suppressed food prices, and the people have no food to buy for the time being. Xiaguan is just using events to exchange space, and using prices to return cheap food!"
"So the princess asked the grain merchant surnamed Qin to be the exclusive agent for literary contracts and government exchange matters, so as to expand the influence of the grain merchants in Yuzhou as much as possible?" Su Xuan's operation really made Han Yong dumbfounded. How could he
He didn't expect that there was such a big move waiting in Su Xuan's Wen Yue plan. Only then did he hear the truth behind Su Xuan's plan, and he couldn't help but feel admiration and shock at this woman in his eyes.
Not to mention such a big deal, let alone a little girl, even veterans like them would not dare to think or do it. But Su Xuan had done such a big thing, and he couldn't find any reason to continue to oppose it.
"That's right!" Su Xuan didn't hide it. Since the words came to this point, she was not afraid that Han Yong knew all this, so she admitted Han Yong's speculation and confirmed that Han Yong's speculation was completely correct.
"It's just that no matter how low the price of food falls, the common people still need to spend money to buy it. However, the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court has not been found yet. It really makes it difficult for some clever women under the official to make a living without rice!"
"The princess is so thoughtful that she actually thought of such a clever way to deal with the food shortage in Yuzhou. I admire her. However, I believe that Mr. Liang Jin, the head of the household department, will definitely find out what the princess is worried about. We just need to
Just wait for the result!" Han Yong stood up at this time and said, "What the official said just now is absolutely true. From today on, the Yuzhou disaster relief mission will be entrusted to the princess, and Han Yong is willing to obey the princess!"
"Master Han, this can't be done. Xiaguan doesn't have such prestige, and he can't do this job. Besides, when Xiaguan came to Yuzhou Mansion, he was just out for fun and had no official duties. This time he just felt that there was a food shortage here.
It’s so awesome, the people are living so hard, so I thought of an idea to solve this problem, which can solve our recent problems.
The food crisis of the Wei army is in urgent need, and secondly, it can solve the food crisis in Yuzhou Prefecture!" When Su Xuan heard this, she immediately stood in front of Han Yong and said humbly, "Since the emperor has asked you to receive the emperor's order to provide disaster relief, I will lower my official rank.
Let’s work together with you to deal with this matter. As for the disaster relief envoy, it is naturally more appropriate for you, Master Han, to take on the role!”
"The princess said this, I am really ashamed of myself!" When Han Yong heard Su Xuan's words, he almost slapped himself in the face for what just happened. You must know that his ignorance just now almost ruined Su Xuan's plan.
, making it impossible for the people in the city to eat cheap food.
"Sir, it's time to eat!" At this time, Ziqiong walked in from the backyard with a bowl of food, and immediately came to Su Xuan and said to Su Xuan.
The grains have been made into rice porridge in the backyard, and what Zi Qiong is holding in her hand right now is the freshly cooked fragrant rice porridge.
"Princess, the official came to you without eating anything. You are the only place with food now. You can't drive the official back!" Han Yong looked at the bowl of fragrant porridge and swallowed.
He also directly asked Su Xuan for food.
