I’m The King Chapter 1283: : Carry on the past and open up the future (one hundred and seventy-three) handover

Suddenly, several months have passed, and it is already the golden autumn and October. For the Han Kingdom, this year is a peaceful year. In a year like this year, not a single war broke out. There are two things that make Dahan most happy this year. One is the official opening of the East-West traffic artery starting from Liaodong and starting from Yuyang, marking the official completion of the two main arteries of Dahan. The second thing is that the weather has been good this year, and good news of a bumper harvest has been heard throughout the vast territory of the Han Kingdom.

However, the great bumper harvest made the court of the Han Dynasty happy, but another big problem faced them. The low price of grain hurts the farmers. It will be the lowest class of people.

Three or five buckets were charged too much! For no reason, Gao Yuan thought of the famous article [Pig] [Pig] [Island] novel ww.zuhm in his previous life.

"Old Yan, the Zhengshitang will soon formulate a plan for this matter. There must be a minimum protection price, and merchants must not buy grain below this protection price." In a semi-retired state, Yan Shenghao is in charge of the daily operations of the Zhengshitang.

"But Your Majesty, the Han Kingdom has never interfered with the commercial activities of merchants. It has been a law since ancient times that goods are cheap when they are in abundance. We force merchants to buy grain at a price higher than the market price. Merchants will not Do it! This shows that they are going to lose money. Your Majesty, this also violates the free trade decree you just issued last year!" Yan Shenghao showed a embarrassed expression.

"Set a minimum protective price, merchants buy at this price, and the difference between them will be subsidized by the imperial court." Gao Yuan waved his hand, "We must not let the common people have a good harvest, but they will suffer a little more than in previous years."

"Your Majesty, what a huge sum of money this is!" Yan Shenghao was taken aback. "This year, the entire Han Kingdom has heard the good news of a bumper harvest. If the imperial court subsidizes the price difference, where will Wang Wudi of the Ministry of Finance want?" I jumped."

"What's the use of jumping bare feet, you have to find a way. Lao Yan, let go of the grain restrictions on Qin, and the grain accumulated in the warehouse can be sold to Qin. Isn't Qin's grain harvest this year? They are now in the country. It’s a mess, food is extremely scarce, as long as we are willing to sell, they will definitely buy.”

"The state of Qin was finally thrown into chaos, and now they are selling food to them again. Wouldn't it allow them to survive for a while longer?" Yan Shenghao was a little dissatisfied, "If this is the case, I would rather let Wang Wudi Go jump where I am, and we will bear the loss ourselves."

Gao Yuan chuckled, "Compared to making our own people feel more comfortable and maintaining the price of domestic grain, it's nothing to let the people of Qin survive for a while, Lao Yan, we can sell grain to the Qin people, but we only sell to Lu Chao."

Yan Shenghao's eyes lit up. "We sold it to Lu Chao. Lu Chao collected a large amount of grain. The Qin court will inevitably transfer grain to Lu Chao. If Lu Chao doesn't do it, their relationship will definitely deteriorate."

"Lu Chao will definitely do it, but he will use this to propose some exchange conditions to Qin Ting. Of course, the effect is the same. Qin Ting will become more and more wary of him, and the more Qin Ting guards against him, Lu Chao's The steps will definitely be faster."

"It's a pity that the Chu people also have a bumper harvest. Otherwise, you can sell some to them. This year is also evil. Both Han and Chu have a bumper harvest, but Qin has suffered a drought, and the harvest has plummeted. Natural disasters and man-made disasters combined Now, this is probably God’s warning, Qin people can’t grow a rabbit’s tail anymore!” Yan Shenghao said happily, stroking his beard.

"Although Qin and Chu are in an alliance, with the current situation of the Qin people, I am afraid that the state of Chu has completely lost confidence in them. Once something happens to the state of Qin, the people of Chu can only think about taking a share of the pie." Gao Yuan smiled. road.

"The king is still wise. The military has always wanted to attack Qin, but the strength of the Qin people is still there. If we can't win quickly and we are stalemate with the Qin people, then the Chu people will inevitably have some different thoughts. Come on, now we don't move a single soldier, just move a little bit, and the Qin people themselves will be in chaos. When they are completely dead, the Qin-Chu alliance will be broken." Yan Shenghao said: "Your Majesty , in your opinion, will there be civil strife within the Qin people?"

"Definitely, I just haven't figured out how Lu Chao's arrangement in Xianyang is. He must have a backup player in Xianyang, otherwise he is very likely to play a dead game in this game, but I don't know. I believe that since he dared to do this, he must have laid down his secrets long ago. This person will be his biggest killer, but this person hides too deeply. Although the National Security Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau are trying to find out this key, but when Now, still nothing.”

"Your Majesty actually just wants to know about this person earlier so that he can clear up his doubts. In fact, this has nothing to do with us. When Lu Chao activated, we naturally understood." Yan Shenghao laughed.

"Indeed." Gao Yuan laughed loudly.

He Weiyuan walked into the door with Gao Yuan's laughter, "Your Majesty, it's almost time, the chariots and horses are ready outside."

"Yeah." Gao Yuan nodded, turned his head to Yan Shenghao and said, "Let's go, let's go to Mr. Jiang's place to see Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang has been a little sick for the past few days, and he is not feeling well. After all, it is more than seventy years old."

Yan Shenghao was stunned, and there was another surprise in his heart. Gao Yuan took him to see Jiang Jiaquan. As the days went by, there were actually very few people going to the political affairs hall, which was basically presided over by Yan Shenghao, but in name, Jiang Jiaquan was still the chief assistant of the Han Dynasty.

This trip today is probably just a handover between the old and new chief ministers, and I will become the chief minister of this powerful kingdom who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Thinking of this, Yan Shenghao couldn't help feeling a little complacent, recalling his political career in his entire life, or the most wise thing is that he defected to the East Army. I was the first local official who surrendered to Gao Yuan, the head of a county, and over the years, the king has also rewarded me generously. Now, I am finally going to reach the pinnacle of my life.

There was no sign on the carriage, and there were only some plainclothes guards around the carriage. They drove out quietly from the side door in a corner of the palace, and headed straight for Jiang Jiaquan's mansion.

"The old man is getting old, this time he was ill and made up his mind to step down, and I recommend you to take over the position of chief assistant. This time, let's go to see him, so that you can also have a good communication, Old Yan, I know you have made some preparations for this, what are your plans for the next work?" Inside the carriage, Gao Yuan leaned against the wall of the carriage and asked with a smile.

Although he was mentally prepared, the words came out of the king's mouth. Naturally, they were different. Quietness is not easy to move. Our Han Kingdom is booming now, and everything is developing in an orderly and good manner. Therefore, after the minister is appointed as the chief assistant, the first task is to continue the current policy and continue to implement it instead of rushing to do something to prove it. myself."

"Well said!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is that you want to prove yourself in a hurry. It's good that you have this idea."

Yan Shenghao nodded with a smile.

"I still have some thoughts about the appointment of the chief assistant post. Today, we can have a chat with Mr. Jiang, but don't worry, no one can compete with you this time, but the next I'm afraid it will be different next year, you have to be mentally prepared for this!"

"Next?" Yan Shenghao looked at Gao Yuan with some doubts, but Gao Yuan closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Jiang Jiaquan's mansion is not far from the royal palace. Compared with the mansions occupied by the officials of the previous dynasty, the mansions of the officials of the Han Dynasty are too simple. Compared with the houses of many big businessmen, it is much smaller, just a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. Even such a house seems too big for Jiang Jiaquan. This old man has no children and is alone. Apart from the guards assigned to him, the only people who lived with him in this house were some workers and servant girls who took care of his daily life.

Jiang Jiaquan, who stood supporting the door, stared at the corner door on one side, his pale face looked a little pale. Although the weather still had the residual heat of autumn, this thin old man seemed a little afraid of the cold, and he had already put on thick clothes. autumn clothes.

The corner door opened with a creak, and He Weiyuan stepped in first. Behind him, Gao Yuan and Yan Shenghao entered through the corner door one after the other. They saw Jiang Jiaquan stepping out of the threshold~IndoMTL.com~ actually wanted to Going up to him, Gao Yuan immediately quickened his pace and walked to Jiang Jiaquan, stretched out his hand to support him, and blamed him: "Mr. just recovered from illness, why did you leave the house? When the wind blows, if there is a repetition, then it's not Gao Yuan Have you committed any crimes? Hurry up and go into the house."

"How can it be so delicate?" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "It's just a little cold, the king made a fuss, and Qiu Debao couldn't drive him away from my house. He quarreled with me every day, but it was annoying. Today Finally drove this guy away."

"I don't dare to be careless one day. Mister is getting old, and he can't compare with the time in the past few years." Gao Yuan said with a smile, "Don't blame Qiu Debao, Mister. I gave him the death order. If Mister doesn't Well, he is not allowed to go home."

Jiang Jiaquan laughed out loud. "An old bone, let the king worry about it."

Yan Shenghao came over and bowed deeply: "Shoufu."

"Sheng Hao is here too."

"Go in and chat, Mr. Jiang, Lao Yan and I will have dinner with you today, the three of us have a good chat, I have some ideas, and I need to talk to you first." Gao Yuan smiled and helped Get up Jiang Jiaquan, go to the house. (to be continued...)
