Royal Gold Magistrate

Sweet potato, it's delicious, after eating it, it's delicious.

What kind of scholar's decency, gentleness, if I, Fangzheng, don't tear off your hypocrisy, do you really think I'm a perfect person who doesn't shit?

You look like a dog, and it won't take long for you to lose face!

It’s best to surround them, sell tickets to visit, go to Banshanfang to promote it, maybe you can make some money...

Fang Zhengyi was studying his little plan, and Emperor Jing had already started talking about serious business.

Zheng Qiaodao: "Your Majesty, there was a report from the Ministry of Household Affairs yesterday, saying that the situation of food disasters in the south is still expanding. I don't know if Your Majesty will take note."

Emperor Jing said solemnly: "I have already read it, and I don't know what you think."

Zheng Qiaodao: "Your Majesty, I believe that at this time, an order should be issued to orderly open granaries and release grain. If the news spreads to the whole of the south, it may lead to a civil uprising. It only needs to wait until this year's autumn harvest to alleviate it. "

Emperor Jing thought about it for a while: "The Jianjiang River is seriously flooded, and most of the granaries are flooded. I don't know if they can last until the autumn harvest."

Zhang Shi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there must be insufficient food. Even the autumn harvest... I am afraid that this year's harvest will also be greatly reduced. At this time, it is necessary to order all places to lower the price of food as soon as possible, so that the people cannot afford food."

"In addition, there must be a large amount of food in the homes of the gentry in various places, and they can collect grain from the gentry and borrow food from all over the place."

When Fangzheng heard this, he couldn't help sighing.

Some days have passed since the people in Taoyuan County wrote back to themselves saying that instead of being impacted by the sweet potato news, food prices in the south have risen strongly.

And the price is getting higher day by day.

I don't know what went wrong, but this situation has long been expected by Fang Zhengyi.

There must be someone in the court who can see his tricks, but he didn't expect to move faster than himself.

I don't know who leaked the news.

Now that these few people have offered advice and suggestions, Fang Zhengyi heard that it was basically nonsense.

It is certain to open warehouses and release grain, but the grain must not be enough.

Then the only thing to rely on is the gentry, but no matter whether it is expropriation or borrowing, they will definitely not be able to get food, or only a little bit.

After all, who wants to cut their own flesh?

If you want to come to ask for it, I'll just say no, it's fine. Is it possible that your government can still rob me of food?

Fangzheng had fantasized about such a bad method as "recording merits with stones", but it must be useless to get it to the place.

In a famine year, real benefits are more important than anything else.

Furthermore, if the gentry wants face, it will not be a gentry.

This group of people can basically be regarded as a combination of primary capital and power, greedy and selfish in nature.

All in all, very difficult.

I don't know what happened to the people sent out by Taoyuan County, the news came and went for more than 20 days...

Emperor Jing saw Fang Zhengyi's abnormality, and asked, "Fang Qing, what are your thoughts?"

Fangzheng cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I believe that the price of grain should not be suppressed, but should be allowed to flow. When the price of grain reaches a high level, the grain merchants all over the world will flock to the disaster area."

"It only takes a while for food prices to ease."

But in this way, some people will starve to death, Fang Zhengyi didn't say this.

Market problems Market regulation, the response speed of the ancient government is extremely slow compared with modern times, and the efficiency of the market is beyond doubt.

Even if it is a modern regulation of the economy, the market must be the most important thing. After all, it is difficult to get good results if you go against the law.

The price of food in the disaster area skyrocketed, and countless gentry rushed to sell the surplus food in their homes. When they found that countless families were crowded together, the supply exceeded the demand, and the price of food should drop accordingly.

However, such a method is contrary to the common sense of most people, and Fang Zhengyi does not think that Emperor Jing will agree.

Sure enough, before Emperor Jing opened his mouth, he was dissatisfied.

"If it is true, as Lord Fang said, people in the world will discuss it in a meeting, and the government will do nothing. Wouldn't it be detrimental to the majesty of the Tian family!"

Fangzheng said, "My lord Zhang, governance by doing nothing is also considered governance. The local governments only need to do their job well. To protect the safety of one side so that the people will not be bullied. The people have their own way of life, and they don't need others to teach them. "

"What's more, if you choose the wrong path, the harder you work, the more miserable you will be."

"Your Majesty, I think this method is feasible, so you might as well give it a try."

Zhang Shi immediately sternly said: "No way! If you really want to let it go, wouldn't it be letting the people make money for the country!"

Fang Zhengyi was not polite: "For the victims of the disaster, this is the time of life and death!"

"A person who is about to die has no chance of life in front of him, but Master Zhang's so-called "those who make money for the country" can provide him with one more choice. Even if the standard of this choice is too high to match, at least it can give people hope of living , so why not!"

Zhang Shi said disdainfully: "According to what you said, where is the moral principle? In the long run, wouldn't everyone in the world want to take advantage of it?"

"Wouldn't those who have more plots deliberately cause national disaster?"

Fangzheng snorted coldly: "Master Zhang, you are digressing. We are talking about victims of disasters. Is face or life more important?"

"Open your mouth and keep your mouth shut about morality! What's the use of talking big and empty? Can it be eaten?"

"Your Majesty, when I want to impeach Minister Zhang of the Household Department! The corpse is a vegetarian meal, and I will not seek political power in his position!"

"You!!!" Zhang Shi was dumbfounded, you impeach me if you don't agree with me?Why!

The faces of everyone present also darkened.

Fang Zhengyi doesn't usually say a few words, but he will probably impeach anyone who wants to talk to him...he doesn't follow any rules!Lump!

How many times has Zhang Shidu been played?

Emperor Jing glanced at Fang Zhengyi, and said angrily: "Okay! Fang Zhengyi, the more you talk, the more shameful you will be!"

"Master Li, what do you think?"

Li Yansong hesitated and said, "I feel that what Fang Zhan said makes some sense."

Fang Zheng smiled.

Sure enough, the ancients were extremely smart, especially those in the court.

They may not know what economics is, but they must understand what economics is. After all, economics is also summed up by laws.

It is impossible for them to fail to understand such a simple logical relationship as the supply problem.

Li Yansong changed the topic: "However, the risk is too great, and there will be a lot of discussions in the world. I still agree with Mr. Zhang's suggestion."

"Subsidiary"

"Minister and others seconded"

Emperor Jing nodded and said: "Okay, then deal with it according to this method. Zhang Shi, after returning to the palace, draw up a detailed booklet and submit it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fangzheng smacked his lips in disdain.

Knew it!It's useless to say it, it's unnecessary!

What power is most afraid of is risk, and no one dares to bear the consequences of being scolded by the world.

Everyone understands the truth, but no one can break through this barrier of the human heart.

I'm Fangzheng...it's difficult...
