Chapter 280: Changes in the head of the vassal kings after they were placed in the palaces of the vassal kings

Nanyang.

Tang Prince's Mansion.

When the King of Tang Zhu Shuohui saw the box containing the head of King De, he felt that his stomach had been stirred up and was about to spit out as he rolled.

After a while, Zhu Shuoxiu calmed down and said, "Those who passed on me, the prince's mansion should not stop Yousi Qingzhang. Before Yousi came to Qingzhang, he would first check it out and check out all the fields that were not given to the fields and report it to Yousi! If anyone does not listen, I will never let you go!"

As he said that, Zhu Shuohui bowed to the envoy sent by Zhu Youxiao and said, "I would like to tell Your Majesty that I dare not abuse the law. I will definitely cooperate with all the imperial decrees!"

So, the Nanyang government successfully cleared the vassal kings in the Nanyang area.

Because Nanyang has always been a major production area in Henan, it was a sudden increase of more than 200,000 stones of grain tax, and the imperial treasury increased the grain income.

...

"According to the Ministry of Revenue, since Zhu Changjie was executed and reported to the emperor, the land in the vassal states have been much smoother, and the matter of clearing the purse has basically come to an end. At present, the national treasury has increased grain and fodder, and there are more than 10 million stones of grain in various places, and it is being transported to Jiangnan in batches!"

Han Yu reported to Zhu Youxiao the latest situation of clearing the land and adjusting grain.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "It's so good! The energy source is constantly transported to Jiangnan, so there is no need to worry that the grain prices will continue to rise. How is the grain prices in various markets controlled? Can those nobles and nobles with grain reduce their own grain prices and start to take the initiative to invest grain on the market?"

"Reporting to the emperor, according to the open and secret investigation of Dongchang, the prices of grain on the market were controlled and no longer increased. However, the nobles and nobles with grain did not take the initiative to lower the prices of grain or put them into the market. The grain shops and Dongchang comprehensive stores, which are still controlled by the court, are supplying lower-priced grain."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao asked Han: "Have the second batch of grain been distributed?"

Han Yu replied: "Your Majesty, you have already distributed it. I'm waiting for the pricing to request an order. Should you continue to maintain the market price not to rise or start to lower the price."

"Switch down! There are already tens of millions of stones of grain reserves, what are you afraid of? Even if all the local tribes in the world unite to fight with me, there is no need to be afraid now. I don't believe that with the strength of the whole country, these nobles and nobles cannot surrender!"

Zhu Youxiao said immediately.

"Abide by the order!"

Han Yu replied immediately.

In order to coordinate the allocation of various materials, mainly grain, Zhu Youxiao has issued an order to establish the General Office of the Duzhi Division, which is directly under the Political Affairs Hall. Currently, it is mainly composed of Han Du, Li Zhizao, Li Yongzhen, and Wei Zhongxian.

Han Yu is responsible for the coordination, Li Zhizao is responsible for how to make transportation more reasonable and the prices are more scientific through his mathematical ability, Li Yongzhen is responsible for the audit, and Wei Zhongxian is responsible for the supervision and improvement of intelligence.

In this way, coupled with the patrol battalion and the governments at all levels after the addition of township officials, Zhu Youxiao can reasonably and efficiently allocate all grains from all over the country to various prefectures, counties, cities and towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

"One dou of 18 yuan silver coins, and the price of rice will be lowered by two yuan today!"

In the county town of Jiangning County, a comprehensive store directly operated by the East Factory received the new rice transferred in the early morning of the next day, and changed the price the next morning and relisted it for sale.

"Hey! It's almost a month old, but it still hasn't risen?! It's even lowered its price. Haven't the rice in your comprehensive store been sold out yet?"

Because the rice price in the comprehensive store has not risen and remains at 20 silver dollars per dou, there are a lot of people coming to the comprehensive store to buy rice. Almost no matter how early it is, people come to buy rice, so they avoid waiting until the afternoon after the rice in the comprehensive store is purchased, and they are not forced to go to other private grain shops to buy more expensive rice.

Also because it is now military control, there are official troops on both sides responsible for maintaining order.

Therefore, those who come to buy rice dare not do anything randomly. Even if they don’t buy rice, they will not smash the shop again. They will always line up honestly when buying rice.

Now, this comprehensive store has just opened, and there are already many people outside.

At this time, the person in front asked in surprise when he saw the comprehensive store lowering the grain price.

"There are so many more! Unless you have to eat today, buy more and try to keep the silver coins in your hands. Come and buy tomorrow, and there will be new rice tomorrow, and it will continue to be reduced!"

The clerk replied with a smile.

Because the comprehensive store is a direct store operated by Dongchang, and although he is just an ordinary clerk, he is also a person from Dongchang and the emperor, so he feels a little proud, so he said something more.

"Is that so? Then weigh the rice to me quickly! But I want to buy a few more buckets. How can you take it seriously? What if the new rice is not coming, then who doesn't know that Jiangnan is short of rice now!"

The scholar in the front row said and took out a bag of silver dollars: "Ninety-dollar silver coins!"

"Believe it or not!"

The clerk replied disdainfully, only weighing rice for the scholar, then collecting silver coins, and then busy selling rice for others.

For a moment, the scholars and people who came to buy rice all stretched their arms and tiptoed to ask for it, and were anxious to buy rice home. They all took out all the silver coins on their bodies to buy rice, fearing that the rice price would rise again. After all, they were really scared by the rise in rice prices for many days, and they couldn't believe what the clerk said, "Now you have this cheap rice now, why don't you buy more?"

Anyway, no one dares to hold silver coins in hand, they just want to hold grain in hand.

Zhu Youxiao also knew the mentality of ordinary scholars and citizens in Jiangnan, so he asked the comprehensive stores and government-controlled grain shops to sell grain without sharply lowering the grain price. Instead, he stabilized the grain price first and then lowered it after the grain was almost the same, so as to recover the silver dollars scattered through the Ming Bank to the greatest extent through grain.

Because Zhu Youxiao would rather take back the silver dollars than let the silver dollars flow to the nobles and nobles through high grain prices.

The second day.

Because a new batch of grain arrived, this comprehensive store once again lowered the grain price.

"Fifteen silver dollars per bucket!"

"Reduced again?"

"It's really reduced again?"

The customer who came to buy rice smiled happily, but then he regretted beating his feet and stamping his chest: "I would have known that I would have saved the silver dollar until today to buy rice!"

...

"Have you heard that the comprehensive store and some grain shops have lowered the price of grain again, and the comprehensive store has dropped to fifteen silver dollars per dou! What should I do?"

Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, came to the Duke of Wei's mansion anxiously and started talking to Xu Hongji, Dou Ding and others.

Xu Hongji smiled and said, "It's not just that I have just heard that I have just bought twenty stones of rice from a nearest comprehensive store. If it weren't for the purchase limit, it would not exceed twenty stones. Now I'm giving such a low price. I wish I could not let the people below buy him tens or millions of stones to stock up!"

"As expected, the court will naturally transfer some grain to Jiangnan. However, since we decided to play with grain, our master and King Fu, Lu Wang, have already made preparations for this. At this time, we should see whether the court has a lot of grain or ours. When we came to Nandu this time, we brought five million taels of silver. I don't know how much money we can provide, so we will use this silver to spread it out and hire tenants, slaves in the mansion and villagers to buy it! We will buy as much as the court transferred the grain. One day, the imperial court's stored grain will be bought out unless the court has added grain taxes. Now, the land of the Qingzhang has caused anger and resentment from the heavens. If the additional grain taxes are still not everywhere?"

Dou Ding sneered and said a few words at this time.
