When the prices of private hospitals are similar to those of government hospitals, ordinary people will buy them at will.

If the prices at private grain stores are lower than those at government-run stores, that would be even better, as government-run grain stores would not lower their prices.

The store that Murong Yue visited was Chen’s Rice Shop.

Privately run.

There are more people queuing up to buy rice than usual.

The price of food has also dropped a little bit since the last time Murong Yue visited.

She stroked her chin and tilted her head, trying to think, "Why are food prices so low?"

The stability of a base depends on two things: population and food.

The development of a base depends on only one thing: military strength.

She doesn't care about anything else, food is her biggest concern.

After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out, so I just ate and drank all the way back to the palace.

In the evening, she asked Li Xuanji, "Teacher, why is the price of grain so low now?"

Li Xuanji was very pleased, "Your Majesty is concerned about the price of grain, which is a good thing."

"There are two reasons why grain prices are low. One is that after spring, in summer and autumn, new grain comes to the market, and the grain merchants have to sell out the old rice they have stored in the spring."

Oh oh oh, Murong Yue barely understood this.

After all, no one likes to eat leftovers.

Everyone likes to eat new things.

"The second reason is that the Kingdom of Yue will give us a total of 600,000 taels of silver worth of food."

"The grain merchants are well-informed. If this batch of grain enters the market and the grain price drops, they will lose money on the grain they hold."

“It’s better to sell it now.”

Well...

This seems to involve arithmetic, and Murong Yue said not to make things difficult for herself.

"Still, stock up on food."

She has a food phobia.

Just stockpile grain. The Qing Kingdom already has a grain stockpile plan, and His Majesty has already mentioned the need to stockpile grain this year.

The Ministry of Revenue has increased the amount and speed of stockpiling grain.

The next day, after Murong Yue went to court, she first took a look around and picked out the Minister of Revenue Jiang Feng from among several ministers.

"Stock up on food, how's it going?"

Jiang Feng took a deep breath. He had already prepared the report and was just waiting for the right time to present it to His Majesty.

Since Your Majesty has asked, it is just right to present it now.

"Your Majesty, according to your order, two granaries were opened in the capital before the New Year, and each prefecture also increased its granaries."

"In the twenty-one states of Qing Kingdom plus the capital, a total of sixty-seven new granaries were opened."

"The granaries in several southern states have been capped."

"It is inconvenient to construct in the north in winter, so the granaries that were converted from old sites have also been completed."

Murong Yue was extremely satisfied and nodded frequently, "Well done."

"Oh, good, reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Feng was mature and steady to begin with, and at this moment his eyebrows were twitching with joy. He immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Also, the caravans that went to Liao and Yue to buy grain will be back soon."

There is no grain in these newly built granaries. It is only spring and the grain is not yet ripe. To fill these granaries, we can only purchase grain from outside.

It is useless to purchase from Qing State locally, it is nothing more than transferring grain from one hand to the other, and it is all the country's own grain.

He arranged people to go to Liao and Yue to collect grain.

As for Yun Kingdom and Xia Kingdom?

forget it.

The price/performance ratio is too low.

Among them, the State of Yue collected the most grain.

The climate in Yue State was mild, the land was fertile, and grain could be harvested three times a year, so there was plenty of food.

In order to avoid being discovered by the State of Yue, he divided the grain-collecting team into several groups.

According to his estimate, the five million taels of silver worth of grain was enough to take away almost one-third of the grain consumed by the people of Yue.

By the time the Yue officials reacted, all the grain had been stored in the Qing granaries.

Hahaha!

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng's eyebrows began to twitch again.

After listening to her statement, Murong Yue's mind became hot and she remembered two numbers: sixty-seven new granaries and five million taels of silver worth of grain.

Full of security.

After court dismissal, he would go to his own storehouse to personally select the rewards.

She now finds those useless things annoying.

She no longer wanted any of the calligraphy and paintings that she couldn't understand, the delicate porcelain, or the screens that took up space.

"Oh, your majesty, this is the Queen Mother's favorite screen."

Ah Hao quickly stopped Murong Yue.

If it was a step later, Murong Yue would have stepped on the screen and broken it.

"Oh, keep it then."

"what about this?"

"This is the emperor's favorite chess set. It is made of Hetian jade and black jade. It is very precious."

"Oh, no."

Murong Yue is very generous.

What the emperor likes is not what mother likes, so who cares!

After searching for a long time, she suddenly froze, her eyes spinning rapidly, "Okay, let's sell the things."

what?

Sell...sell things?

What to sell?

Where to sell?

Ah Hao was confused.

Murong Yue waved her hand and pointed at the things in the private vault. She wanted nothing except gold, silver and things her mother liked.

It’s better to replace it with food.

Ah Hao held his forehead with his hand.

She has no say in this matter, and cannot make the decision. His Majesty's idea is too crazy.

If she followed suit, she might lose her mind.

If she refused...how could she convince His Majesty?

Oh, all right, get someone to get help quickly—Li Xuanji.

Li Xuanji was in Xuanji Palace, discussing the matter of Yun State's spies with Qi Yuan and the Minister of Justice Xu Qing. So-called discussion meant they were just sitting around the stove and making tea.

As soon as I heard Ah Hao asking for help.

Li Xuanji smiled, "You two can discuss it slowly. I'll go take a look."

After saying this, the man in white walked away.

Qi Yuan and Xu Qing stared at the immortal figure until Li Xuanji disappeared at the entrance of the hall.

Xu Qing stroked his beard thoughtfully, "The Imperial Master seems to have changed."

"Master Qi, do you know what's going on?"

Qi Yuan chuckled, "It's just an immortal descending to earth."

Li Xuanji arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony and followed people directly to Murong Yue's private vault.

After hearing her idea, he did not object, but nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, it is not impossible to sell these."

"But these are royal possessions, so we still have to treat them with caution."

"I would like the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Rites to discuss this together."

"it is good!"

Murong Yue smiled sweetly.

Now she can bargain!

Ah Hao slapped his forehead and said, what's good about it!

Really are!

Now that everything has been sold, His Majesty’s private treasury is empty!

Wuwuwu——

But it is still His Majesty who makes the decision, and I am afraid these items really have to be sold.

Qi Yuan, Jiang Feng and Murong Anle stayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss the matter throughout the afternoon and evening.

"As for the name, that's easy. Every time there is an imperial examination, there is a general amnesty. This time, we can also add the benefit to the world."

"After all, your majesty, the proceeds from the sale of these items will go to the national treasury."

Murong Anle is indeed an expert at playing word games; he can do this kind of thing with ease.

Although it is not very glorious to say that the royal family is so poor that they have to sell their private treasury, it doesn't matter. His Majesty doesn't care, so why should they think so much about it.

There were full granaries there to please.

Yeah!

It goes to the national treasury, so be it. Anyway, it can’t sleep with me, I can’t eat it, and it just takes up space just by leaving it there.

And this money can be exchanged for food!

Murong Yue was very satisfied with this arrangement.

"First, we should publish notices in various state capitals to publicize this Jianji auction. Many dignitaries will want to get one."

"It will take them some time to get to the capital."
