Daqin: Who does this throne give to me?

Chapter 163 The Emperor and the Shaofu Jointly Robbed

More than [-] million people were scattered to the counties of Daqin, and the whole Guanzhong became busy all of a sudden, and the counties were urgently dividing fields for these people, building houses and distributing various daily necessities.

Even Shaofu has received millions of people, which not only fills up all the labor force in various farms that left Shaofu during the previous reclamation order, but also plans to open new farms.

Some projects in the Qin land that could not be started without labor were all started, and the new palace at Longshou also suddenly increased hundreds of thousands of labor.

Of course, the grain prices in the entire Qin land also rose accordingly. In just a few days, the price increased by more than five times than the original grain price.

But the strange thing is that no matter how the price of grain rises, they will all be sold within a short period of time, and boxes of silver are constantly being brought home, causing all the nobles in Qin to fall into a carnival.

"Purchasing, we need to buy grain from all over the world. The Qin land has always been rich, and each household has some grain in storage. These grains are not much in quantity individually, but they are definitely a large amount in aggregate!"

A noble patriarch said in an extremely firm tone: "I was near the Tianmen that day, and more than six million people came out of the Tianmen. There is definitely not enough food, even if it is transferred from other places!"

"I'm sure that the price of grain will continue to rise. As for how much it can rise, it depends on the speed of our emperor's adjustment of grain from various places!"

"Agreed, the last time the young mansion came, the food sold in the family was too cheap, but the right is for your majesty, but the surplus grain we collected from farmers from all over the world, even your majesty has nothing to say!"

"Shut up all of you!" The head of the family shouted with anger on his face: "For my family, what's the use of having more money, the important thing is that the inheritance in the army cannot be broken!"

"Your Majesty is not going to build a Royal Military Academy to teach the art of war. There are only three places for each title, and only three generations of children can be guaranteed to enter the army. After purchasing a large amount of food this time, I will personally pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Speaking of this, the noble patriarch's face was full of pride: "For these people to survive, His Majesty will never mind giving my family a few more places!"

"The head of the family is wise!" Several other elders in the family immediately saluted the head of the family. As long as the title is still there, the relationship in the army can be passed on and maintained. One more place to enter the Royal Military Academy means that the family will prosper for another generation.

For a generation, no amount of money can be earned back!

Such conversations kept ringing out in noble families all over the Great Qin. The slaves of the noble families came to the countryside one after another and began to buy the grain stored in the peasant households, which also caused the price of grain in Qin to change three times a day.

No one noticed that when grain shops kept raising their purchase prices, people kept sending grain to the shops for sale. The only strange thing was that all of these people wanted to settle with gold instead of silver.

But it is well known that the price of silver is much higher than that of gold.

Over the years, many gold mines have been discovered, and some people have even picked up dog's head gold, but no one has ever heard of silver mines being found anywhere. If it wasn't for this, how could the price of silver rise so fast.

In addition to secretly teasing these people for their ignorance, a large amount of gold stored in the home was continuously taken out and sent to shops one by one.

"The price of grain has increased almost tenfold now, how many people are involved in it!" Zhao Wenduan sat at the head, the Emperor Shi Huang sat next to him, and the two Deputy Commanders of the Shaofu knelt and sat at the bottom.

Zhao Wen ordered the carpenter in the Shaofu to make the chair specially. After all, even after traveling for so long, he still couldn't get used to kneeling and sitting in this position.

"Almost all the nobles and wealthy households in Daqin participated. These days, the grain shipped from all over the world is increasing, and a lot of it is still on the way!" The Deputy Commander of the Shaofu wiped the sweat from his face.

He really didn't expect that this new Deputy Commander of the Shaofu was so courageous, and he directly joined hands with His Majesty to rob all the nobles and wealthy households in Daqin. Still don't know.

Not to mention the military rations in the various armies and the original rations in the Shaofu, but the first pumpkins planted, the yield per mu is at least tens of thousands of catties, and they have already started picking.

Originally, it was just the food stored in the past, and he was still a little worried, but now that the pumpkins are ripe, the output is only a lot more than what His Majesty said, so there is no need to worry about such a large amount of food.

If the various seeds brought by His Majesty that were planted a few days ago are added to the output as stated in the Shaofu Order, even if millions of people are added, I am afraid that the Shaofu’s granary will not be enough to store it, and a new one will have to be built. granary.

Under such circumstances, taking advantage of the opportunity that the nobles of the Qin Dynasty did not understand the production of pumpkins, they unexpectedly created a food crisis, that is, the power in the hands of His Majesty is too strong. Otherwise, when these people finally know the truth, I am afraid that the entire Qin land They can all make trouble.

"You say it's almost the same, that is, there are still people who haven't participated in it. Who are they?"

With such an opportunity, he was able to resist not making money, which made Zhao Wen suddenly curious. Even the first emperor next to him turned his head to look at the Deputy Commander of the Shaofu, obviously wanting to know how many of the ministers of the Great Qin It is loyal and patriotic.

"General Wang and General Meng's family even sent all the food stored in the family to Shaofu. The three cabinet ministers, Wang Wan, cabinet minister, Feng Quji, and Li Si, sent all the food in the family to Shaofu at a low price. In the house!"

"Nei Shi Teng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wei Lio, Minister of the Ministry of War, Kai Zhuang, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Yang Duan, Minister of the Military Cabinet, sent all the food stored at home to the counties to help the people!"

"It seems that my vision is not bad!" Zhao Wen nodded in satisfaction. These are the first ministers of civil and military affairs appointed by him. If anyone is involved, this person will not be available.

As for the absence of Liu Bang and Fan Zeng, he can also understand that Liu Bang has just become the Minister of the Shaofu, and his family has no property.

"And the minister's family also sent all the food stored in the family to the granary of the Shaofu!" The Deputy Commander of the Shaofu replied cautiously.

"You all know that there is food in the Shaofu, and you just want to gain a reputation with others!" Zhao Wen shook his head with a smile, then turned to look at Wan Sanqian and asked, "What about you, what have you gained?"

"I exchanged more than [-] million taels of silver for more than [-] taels of gold, and also added more than one million stones of grain to the Shaofu granary!" Wan Sanqian said very calmly, and even secretly sighed in his heart. The poverty of the nobles, if it were replaced by Da Ming, the harvest of this wave would definitely be more than tenfold!
