"Nonsense!" Tang Jie was so angry that he spoke out: "When the price of salt in Bianjing exceeded 40 yuan, I moved the Wendu Salt Institute and ordered it to sell salt and stabilize the price. But Hedu

The Yanyuan actually ignores the national economy and people's livelihood, and cares about writing standards! I am a serious planner, but I don't even give orders to the subordinate officials of the Yanyuan. I dare to ask who is blocking it?!"

Zhao Hao stood up, bowed respectfully to Zhao Xu, and said slowly: "Duyanyuan is managed by a younger brother. How can a young governor dare to stand in the way of the plan? But brother, why is it difficult to recover from the accumulated shortcomings of the Jisi? Because of the accumulated debts.

How can it be difficult to govern when the house is empty and the house is full?”

"Isn't it because the successive prime ministers used their own ideas and ruined the system?"

"Today, with just one word from the Prime Minister, we can open a warehouse and put salt in it. Will tomorrow, with just one word from the Prime Minister, we can exempt the whole country from paying taxes? It has only been less than two years since the Han Dynasty rectified the regulations of the Planning Department. Is it possible that a century-old plan only took a few years of hard work?"

, is it useless because of what happened in these few days?"

Tang Jie was furious: "King Qi, this is confusing right and wrong. I should abide by the regulations of the Planning Department. But why did I not tell you that the format was wrong three days after writing the article? Why couldn't I point it out immediately, tell the courtyard immediately, and send a message to change it?"

Zhao Hao respectfully saluted Tang Jie: "Mr. Tang, although Duyanyuan is a small yamen, it also has its own affairs. The Secretary of Accountancy suddenly wrote a document, so he had to deal with the urgent matters at hand first. After receiving the document, it took three days.

A reply must be made within the time limit. This is stipulated in the regulations of the Department of Planning. The Ministry of Salt and Water is not capable of doing so, so it has to be done quickly and slowly, but at least there is no violation."

"Tang Gong's outspoken voice shocked the world, but he can't be blamed for it, right?"

Tang Jie's face was red and his hair and beard were all tangled: "You!"

Zhao Hao ignored Tang Jie, turned around and said to Zhao Xu: "Brother Huang, the situation is stable and it is good. Ji Si cleared up the debts and disturbed the world. He took action on the Huangsong Bank and the prices were boiling. Brother Huang, "Warring States Policy"

There is a saying: 'It's not too late to look after the dog when you see the rabbit; it's not too late to mend the trap after the sheep has been lost.' How about stopping these two items first and then slowly figuring them out?"

Zhao Xu frowned, seeming to be thinking about how to answer.

At this moment, something rolled gurglingly at Zhao Hao's feet.

"Oops!" But Su You ran out: "My, my, these are the duck eggs on my table!"

He came to Zhao Hao and knelt down to pick it up: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for being rude, but I lost this duck egg somehow. Hey, that's not right..."

Zhao Xu was eager for someone to come out to stir up trouble, so he quickly went downstairs and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su You bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I wonder if we should use salted duck eggs or raw duck eggs for this banquet in Jinmingchi?"

Zhao Xu said: "Of course it's salted duck eggs."

Su You said: "That's not right. I have always been greedy for delicious food. The salted duck eggs in my home are all made by my own hands. The salted duck eggs in my home have salt-alkali traces on the surface of the eggshell. When cracked, the yolk has oil and gas.

It’s layered, and the color is darker.”

After speaking, he cracked the duck egg open and said, "This duck egg is not the same. Look, Your Majesty, the color is very light and fresh."

After speaking, he took a bite and said, "Sure enough, these are fresh duck eggs."

Zhao Hao was not happy: "Su Tanhua, everyone is discussing national affairs, but you are so worried about a duck egg. Is it because today's imperial censor cannot impeach you?"

Su You quickly swallowed the egg yolk in his mouth and waved his hands: "No, no, I just want to ask, for hosting the banquet at Jinmingchi, are the duck eggs bought from outside, or are they made by the pool owner personally?"

Zhao Hao said casually: "To worship the Heavenly Family, you must do it yourself..."

When he said this, Zhao Hao suddenly felt something bad in his heart!

But Su You immediately grasped the words: "Yes! This is what I expected."

"But here comes the problem. In order for the salted duck eggs to develop flavor, they need to be processed at least 20 days in advance. At that time, the price of salt in Beijing was flat, with no sign of price increase, and was still at the level of thirty-five cents per pound."

"Could it be that Governor Liu had some foresight and predicted that today, twenty days from now, the price of salt would skyrocket, so he deliberately did not prepare salted duck eggs in preparation for today's admonishment?"

Damn it! The officials suddenly understood that this was a premeditated arrangement!

Zeng Gongliang came out of the queue, pointed at Liu Chunzhong, who was pale and slumped on the ground, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Liu Chunzhong has ulterior motives and deceives the emperor's reputation. He is a real villain! Please hand him over to the judicial department, torture him severely, and find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

make!"

"Wait a minute!" But the two of them spoke at the same time.

Zhao Hao looked at Su You in confusion. Everyone knows what I mean by rushing to get Liu Chunzhong. What's going on with you?

Su You's purpose is to muddy the waters and let everyone know that Liu Chunzhong is not Chunzhong. Now that his purpose has been achieved, there is no need to get entangled with these little emissaries. He wants to solve big things!

I saw him turn around and salute Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, I am in charge of the case, and I am also a member of the Planning Department. The salt affairs in Beijing are related to the operation of Huangsong Bank, and it is also the common mission of all colleagues in the Planning Department. I can't help but feel proud.

Take heart."

"Your Majesty, Ambassador Liu doesn't understand economics and is anxious about rising prices, so he decided to use this method to dissuade him. However, the preparation was a bit... um, too perfect, or maybe there was something wrong with it. Maybe the salted duck eggs have been made a long time ago.

Governor Liu just deliberately didn’t serve it today, right?”

The officials were all stunned. What was this kid doing? He first hung others up, and then let him go when everyone shouted for beatings.

But Liu Chunzhong seemed to have found a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes, your Majesty, that's exactly what I am doing, that's exactly what it is..."

After saying that, he kowtowed and touched the ground with a bang like pounding garlic.

Sima Guang stamped his foot: "Su You! Be careful of confusing your words, as you will be disrespectful before the Holy Spirit! Otherwise, even if you escape today, I will impeach you tomorrow!"

But the more Zeng Gongliang looked at Su You, the more he liked him: "Jun Shi, let's hear what Mingrun says."

Su You bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Sir, Bachelor, no matter whether Governor Liu is true or false, what he said is always the truth. Solving the crisis is the top priority."

"Actually, as long as we think about it calmly, can the evil trend in Beijing today, no matter where it comes from, change the economic environment?"

"It can't be changed. Because the three salt industries in Jiezhou, Huaiyang, and Sichuan have not reduced their production. In other words, the salt industry has a real guarantee, and it should not depreciate!"

"Is it really useless to store salt in Beijing? Still not, it's just that the Capital Salt Institute did not open warehouses to release salt to stabilize the price of salt."

"In other words, the current phenomenon in Beijing is only a temporary phenomenon caused by rumors and panic. It may change the supply and demand relationship of salt in Beijing in the short term, causing a short-term shortage of supply. However, it is by no means a change in the economic environment, so

, it can never last long!”

Among the courtiers, there were many young and old who followed the trend of hoarding salt and soy sauce, but now they suddenly realized, Damn! Why didn’t I think of it? How long will it last for those dozens of kilograms of salt and several large vats of soy sauce at home?

But I heard Su You continue to say: "According to the statistics of Sitong Trading Co., this phenomenon in Beijing is caused by the large salt holders in Beijing suddenly selling off a large amount of money and changing their prices at the same time for unknown reasons or purposes.

Caused by hoarding salt.”

"This is why salt prices have fallen again and again, and salt prices have risen again and again!"

"Just this morning, Sitong Trading Co., Ltd. and Huangsong Bank notified the Planning Department. In view of the current chaotic economic situation and the inaction of the Capital Salt Institute, they decided to join forces to intervene!"

"Sitong Trading Company, as early as when the price of salt rose to thirty-seven cents per catty, had already joined hands with merchants from Wu to temporarily borrow 3,000 tons of Huai salt, promising to repay it later with Shu salt at an interest rate of two cents."

"Three salt ships have arrived at Bianjing Pier this morning!"

"Huangsong Bank has been secretly attracting salt in the early stage to prevent the quotation from being too low, and today it is even increasing its volume!"

"In the past, when selling salt, you had to transport it yourself. Now, 3,000 tons of refined salt are docked at the dock. This is a profitable business that can be resold."

"For this alone, the 400,000 guan of salt that Huangsong Bank absorbed at a low price can make a profit of 80,000 guan in just a few days after the quotation price recovers!"

Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Hao suddenly turned pale, but Sima Guang stood up again: "Mingrun..."
Chapter completed!
