Chapter 34: No Food, No Loan
She would try it.
hey-hey--
It turns out that humans eat so well.
The gap between bases is too big.
None of the human bases I've visited before had as good conditions as this one.
By the way, what is the name of this base?
It seems to be called Qingguo.
(Chew, chew, chew. Delicious—)
There was no one in particular to beat during the morning court session, so Murong Yue leaned on the dragon throne with her chin supported by one hand.
This kind of casual attitude has never appeared on His Majesty before.
But now, the Imperial Master, as His Majesty's teacher, said nothing, and the ministers pretended not to see anything.
Although today is a small court meeting, there are many things to deal with.
The first one is about the Minister of Revenue Jiang Feng.
"Your Majesty, the previous support of 300,000 taels of silver to Yue has been cancelled. I have not yet met with the Yue envoys, and I have drawn up several loan plans. Please review them."
Jiang Feng presented the memorial.
The current Qing treasury can take out this money, but His Majesty is unwilling to do so, and he went back on his word in front of all the civil and military officials, so he must come up with a new plan.
Murong Yue took a deep breath.
Another annoying fold.
She picked it up and flipped through it casually, and found that there were tadpoles inside that she didn't recognize.
He threw the memorial to the corner of the dragon throne, "How much food can you buy with three hundred thousand taels?"
what?
Several other ministers raised their heads and looked at His Majesty with dark circles under their eyes in confusion.
After the palace banquet ended yesterday, these people went back and worked overtime all night to review memorials. Fortunately, His Majesty has postponed the time of court attendance.
If it had happened in the past, they would have probably been killed last night.
But what does your majesty mean?
Everyone looked at His Majesty, then at the Imperial Preceptor, and finally their eyes all fell on Jiang Feng.
He asked with his eyes: Jiang Prodigy, how much grain can you buy with 300,000 taels of silver?
This was no problem for Jiang Feng, a mathematical genius. He quickly looked up the grain prices of Qing Kingdom in his mind and got the result after a few calculations.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, now one dan of grain in Qing State costs about five coins of silver, and one tael of silver can buy two dan of rice."
"Three hundred thousand taels of silver can buy six hundred thousand shi of grain."
"Yue was hit by a disaster this autumn, and overall food prices rose, which also affected our food prices in Daqing."
The ministers were all silent and busy with government affairs all day long. Except for those from the Ministry of Revenue, other ministers rarely cared about the price of grain.
I didn't expect that the price would increase without me noticing.
Murong Yue nodded and ignored the information about the disaster in Yue State. She knew that the number greater than six was seven.
That's it, "700,000... shi of grain..."
Wait, why do we use the term “stone”? That’s strange...but it doesn’t affect the overall situation.
"Seven hundred thousand shi for three hundred thousand silvers, no need to pay it back."
She thought, is it useful to earn so much money? It is not as practical as food.
Exchange it for food, exchange it all for food.
Ignorant human, you will thank me later.
Well...
Jiang Feng understood. His Majesty was saying that Yue should exchange 700,000 dan of grain for 300,000 taels of silver, and then it would not have to repay the money.
Although the State of Yue suffered from the disaster, its granaries were full when it was not hit.
The climate there is warm, and crops mature three times a year, so there is no shortage of food.
Today, the disaster has affected the grain prices in other countries, which is purely caused by Vietnam’s hoarding of grain.
The reason why the State of Yue came to ask for silver was that although they had grain, they were indeed short of food due to disasters, population decline, lack of materials, and increased freight costs.
If you want to provide disaster relief to various places, you need money in addition to food.
They were unwilling to exchange grain for silver, so they asked the Qing Kingdom for it.
I didn't expect that His Majesty would change to this way.
If you think about it carefully, it's possible.
Jiang Feng took the order and had a plan in mind. When the time came to negotiate with the Kingdom of Yue, if he didn't see food, he would not give silver. He would then go to other countries to borrow silver if he had the ability.
Other countries don't have so much money to borrow.
hiss--
He suddenly felt that His Majesty's style of doing things had become tougher, and his thoughts had also become tougher.
You know, we were prepared to provide free aid to Yue before...
The matter is settled.
The second thing was that the Minister of Personnel Zhang Yuqing was framed.
Qi Yuan briefly explained the whole thing. Zhang Yuqing was usually calm, but at this moment he almost jumped up and down.
"Master Qi, what nonsense are you talking about? My family would never do such a thing!"
"Please be patient, Mr. Zhang. I am only describing the investigation of the case. I did not say that your family did this."
Only then did the other ministers realize that Zhang Yuqing had taken such a big blame yesterday afternoon.
At the same time, everyone looked at Qi Yuan with more distance.
You know, Qi Yuan was like nothing happened last night, and he even drank a glass of wine with Zhang Yuqing.
Who would have thought that this person had such a big thing hidden in his heart...
This guy is so scheming!!!
Zhang Yuqing lifted his official robe and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that my family will never do such a thing."
Li Xuanji coughed lightly and winked at Zhang Yuqing.
Zhang Yuqing understood instantly.
Your Majesty already knows about the old affairs between him and his wife, but such things should not be mentioned in front of so many people.
Murong Yue nodded, "I know."
The zombies' sixth sense was very accurate, and she sensed no malice from this human.
She believes in herself.
"You were framed."
Murong Yue changed to a more comfortable position. She was very familiar with this trick.
She used to pretend to be dead when she was trapping her prey.
She would wait until the prey came close before attacking, and she never missed.
So, "You go, pretend to be prey."
what?
What do you mean?
Everyone's brains couldn't keep up with His Majesty's thoughts, so they all turned to the Imperial Master.
After a brief thought, Li Xuanji understood what Murong Yue meant.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that Lord Qi pretended to step into this trap, arrested Lord Zhang Yuqing, and then waited for the person behind the scenes to jump out?"
Trap, pretend, jump out.
Well, the key information is all correct.
Murong Yue nodded and said firmly, "Yes."
Therefore, the second thing of today's morning court was the arrest and imprisonment of the Minister of Personnel, Zhang Yuqing.
Qi Yuan's decisiveness made people wonder whether he had wanted to arrest Zhang Yuqing for a long time.
Moreover, Qi Yuan told the lords with a serious face, "Please keep the truth about Lord Zhang's imprisonment a secret, otherwise it will disrupt your majesty's plan. Don't blame Qi for accidental injury."
When everyone heard this, they quickly agreed.
What do you mean by accidental injury? What I mean is, whoever spreads the truth and is found out by Qi Yuan will be treated as an accomplice of the bad guys.
Really, he is so deep-minded and cunning.
Murong Yue nodded with a smile on her face. This Qi Yuan is really great.
Just when she thought it was about time and was about to leave the court, Xu Qing, looking weathered, came back.
When Murong Yue heard the notification, she thought for a long time before she remembered who Xu Qing was.
hemp eggs.
Having too many humans is not a good thing, as you can’t even remember who is who.
