Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

"My Lord, there is a huge shortage of food and fodder. If we buy them at a high price, the people..."

Obviously, Wang Ben thought of the consequences of the court purchasing grain from the market at a high price. If grain prices rise, the people will really not be able to survive!

"Who said we should snatch food from the common people? I will ask Li Qingzhi to contact the major families and buy it from them later!"

"Ah this..."

Wang Ben felt his head buzzing and was stunned...

"My Lord, your national debt is not..."

Wang Ben only felt that his three views were overturned...

According to the eldest son's idea, he wants to... borrow money from these aristocratic families and then buy their grain... ?

I rub!

Taking the money first and the food later, this is even more cruel than Your Majesty!

Fusu smiled indifferently: "How could they not do this good business? I bought their grain at a price slightly higher than the market price, and they are so happy."

"Ah? Why is this?"

Wang Ben is not Li Jie....

Fusu stood up and smiled slightly.

"Do you still remember the announcement issued by the court not long ago?"

"The eldest son is saying..."

Wang Ben was thoughtful...

"I have already informed the world of the consequences of the suspension of the issuance of government bonds."

"After one year, our Great Qin will have abundant food, and the price of food will surely drop!"

"The aristocratic families and the remnants of the six kingdoms love to stockpile food. In previous years, they did this to prepare for years of disaster, but this year..."

"General, what do you think these noble families will do if I order the purchase of grain, and at a price higher than the market price?"

Fusu's words immediately made Wang Ben's eyes light up!

"That's it! That's it!"

"My eldest son is very far-sighted, and I am not as good as him!"

"Hahahahaha."

Fusu smiled and said, "So what I said is that I am helping them make money. They should thank me for buying the grains which should have depreciated at a high price."

"But Master, if the remnants of the six kingdoms do not release the grain..."

"If the remnants of the six kingdoms don't release the grain, the noble families will. If they don't release the grain either..."

"What about that?"

Wang Ben frowned.

In fact, interests include not only money. When it comes to the interests of the upper class, power is also one of the criteria.

And there is a possibility that there are people who would rather watch the money than make it in order to trip up the imperial court...

"It doesn't matter. If we can't get any food, I will write a letter to the emperor and ask him to order them to be cleaned up. By then, we may not even need the money."

Fusu smiled slightly...

"Ah this..."

Wang Ben was stunned...

Don’t talk about martial ethics?

This is something Wang Ben never expected...

"Since they don't follow the rules, there's no need for me to follow the rules."

"But Master, why don't you give the order, to..."

"You want to ask why we asked our father to give the order?"

"It's nothing, but I have a good reputation, and I can't ruin it." Fusu scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "My father is notorious, and his reputation is ruined. He doesn't care about this one or two times. I am still young, and I have a long way to go in the future. I shouldn't lose this reputation of virtue."

Wang Ben: “…”

"Alright, General Wang, you can step down. Continue recruiting corvée laborers. As long as someone comes, I will recruit them! My court is short of corvée laborers right now. Next year, the court's corvée labor shortage will be even greater!"

"Yes!"

Wang Ben agreed and prepared to leave. However, when he was about to leave the room, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around...

"What? General Wang, is there anything else?"

Fusu looked up...

"My Lord, I suddenly thought that if the number of corvée laborers is too large, wouldn't it waste the land of many people's homes? In this way, the people will have no food..."

"Hahahahaha, General Wang, you really are worrying too much. Have you forgotten why these people came to do corvée labor?"

Fusu smiled...

And Fusu's words instantly awakened Wang Ben...

Yup!

These people came to do corvée labor because they could harvest a lot of grain from the reclamation camp!

"Do you understand? After the autumn harvest, the imperial court will distribute the grain, and then these corvées will naturally send the grain back home."
