Chapter 403 Volume 4 Li Er went crazy with anger

Sun and Moon Mountain.

Although the war has started, Sun Moon Mountain is still a peaceful and prosperous scene.

There was no panic at all because of the war.

The so-called national self-confidence that Li Chengqian spent a year cultivating was most vividly demonstrated at this time.

Of course, calling it national self-confidence is actually an overstatement.

If you really want to say it, this should be called trust, the trust that everyone has in Li Chengqian.

Externally, Li Chengqian never suffered a defeat, and internally, Li Chengqian never acted tyrannically.

In fact, it’s really exaggerated when you think about it…

Externally, Li Chengqian was able to counterattack Dayan Mangjiebo in the most difficult time, and even took advantage of the situation to capture the entire Chishui source, laying the foundation for the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

Internally, Li Chengqian promoted education and encouraged commerce. Although he carried out extensive construction projects, he did not force the common people to be recruited. Even in the most difficult times, not a single person in the Ming court died of starvation or freezing.

In the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are not a complete lazy man, you can always make a living for your family.

Days like this are a prosperous time for ordinary people!

Whoever dares to overthrow their prosperity, they dare to fight to the death.

Are they defending Li Chengqian? Actually not entirely, they are defending their own interests.

This is true in any era. Only when our own interests are threatened will everyone be willing to fight with their lives!

Household Department.

Puxiluo is busy at the moment.

When the war started, it was also the busiest time for his household department.

Fighting is not just about the soldiers charging at the front, but also about the logistics.

"Li Shilang, are the grain and grass shipped to the front line ready?" Pu Xiruo asked quickly when he saw Li Qinjian walking in.

Li Qinjian nodded and said: "Everything is ready. Now I'm just waiting to get the ordnance from the prisoner's side, wait for them to load up the vehicle, and set off together."

With that said, Li Qinjian found a chair and sat down, looking tired and said, "Is this the fifth batch?

Master Pu, there is not much food in this warehouse."

Speaking of this, Puxiluo also looked helpless.

With this war, the warehouses of the Ministry of Revenue were visibly disappearing.

"There is no way. This war is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Even if we tighten our belts, we must ensure that the soldiers on the front line cannot fight the enemy hungry!"

If it had been in the past, he would never have said this.

But after having been the Minister of the Ministry of Finance for almost a year, his thoughts now began to focus on the imperial dynasty.

This also means that he gradually changed from a tribal leader to an official.

"This official also knows." Li Qinjian said, "No matter what, there is no shortage of food and grass on the front line. What I mean is whether we should suspend some expensive expenses, such as schools and so on."

"No." After he finished speaking, Puxiruo refused without thinking, "His Highness has told us before that the school cannot be stopped. At that time, His Highness said that this is the reputation of the imperial court and cannot be destroyed lightly.

Although I don’t understand, you have been following His Highness for such a long time, so it seems that His Highness missed it?”

Li Qinjian still has some businessman philistine traits with him. Even though he has been an official for a year, he still cannot change his businessman philistine traits.

Seeing that the household department was in difficulty, he planned to get rid of some things that could not be profitable in a short period of time, but he did not expect that Pu Xilao's attitude was so determined.

After Pu Xiruo moved out of Li Chengqian, Li Qinjian stopped talking and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that the food and grass consumption would be so fast during this war..."

"I didn't expect this." Pu Xiluo also sighed and said, "At first, I thought our food and grass could last for a long time, but in the end, this big battle really...

Moreover, the food and grass in Supi have been getting less and less recently, so we have to find a way."

"What does Yi Shangshu mean?" Li Qinjian asked.

"Those merchants from Riyue Mountain?" Pu Xiruo said, stroking his beard.

As soon as he said this, Li Qinjian understood instantly: "Although this is a method, the price is absolutely terrifying, and it may be more than double the previous price.

More importantly, if we let them reap the benefits, it will be easy for the price to rise, but it will be difficult for it to fall."

Alas... Pu Xiluo sighed and said, "Who says it's not the case?"

"Pu Shangshu, Li Shilang." Just when the two were in trouble, the official from the Ministry of Revenue said, "There is actually a way to solve this matter."

"Well, Wang Lin, do you have any idea?" Pu Xiro was a little surprised.

This Wang Lin is Wang Dequan's son, and he currently serves in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

When Li Qinjian heard this, he also looked at him curiously.

"That's what I think, kid." Wang Lin said, "Now that our Ming Dynasty's goods are in short supply in the Tang Dynasty, we can definitely go back to the most primitive form of barter.

I think those merchants would also be happy to do so, and if we want to stabilize food prices in the future, is it possible that our Ming Dynasty’s products will not be able to set their own prices?

In the final analysis, the wool comes from the sheep, and it actually has little impact on us."

"This is feasible, what do you think, Pu Shangshu?" Li Qinjian glanced at Wang Lin approvingly after hearing this, and then said to Pu Xiruo.

Puxiruo thought for a while and said: "There is no other way. Let's do it like this."

That afternoon, all the merchants in Riyue Mountain received a message.

The royal court of the Ming Dynasty wanted to buy grain on a large scale, at favorable prices, and it would all be delivered with Ming products, which would not account for their share of the purchase.

Yes, even the merchants from Riyue Mountain have a quota, which varies in amount, if they want to buy the products of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the news came out, many businessmen immediately went crazy.

What they value is not the benefit of food.

How much is the profit from food worth?

If it were just a small profit from food, many merchants would not be happy.

After all, the Tang Dynasty strictly prohibited the export of grain, so if they wanted to do this, the risk would still be very high.

But when the benefits reach an alarming level, no risk is enough to stop them.

That night, the news spread all the way to Hezhou.

Cui Hao, who is now responsible for all affairs of the Cui family in Hezhou, was overjoyed when he heard this!

"Okay, okay, I finally won the bet!" Cui Hao stood up, made a fist with his right hand, and kept punching the palm of his left hand.

Ever since he was taken care of by Li Chengqian in Jingyang City, he was kicked by his family to this bitter cold place in the northwest.

Over the past year or so, he has been repeatedly blocked, but after the chaos in Chaihe County, he defied all opinions and began to hoard food crazily. At that time, he was also under tremendous pressure.

But at this moment, all the pressure turned into excitement!

You know, the Cui family does not have a share of Daming products!

…

When merchants began to smuggle grain towards Riyue Mountain, Chang'an City and Li Er also received urgent reports from Hezhou.

Although the Hezhou guard pinched his nose and admitted it.

But he still passed the news to Li Er as quickly as possible.

Regardless of whether he wants to climb onto the big ship of Li Chengqian or not, this is what he must do.

Li Er and other officials from the Manchu Dynasty have long been used to hearing news from Hezhou every now and then.

There is no way, that guy is too capable of causing trouble.

If there is no letter from him for a long time, everyone will be a little uncomfortable.

However, compared to before, when Li Er saw the news this time, he was no longer surprised, but angry!

"The traitor, the traitor!" He didn't know what to say.

Who gave you the right to mobilize my army?

He was really mad.

He also didn't expect that Li Chengqian was so courageous.

I really wanted you to help me hold off Tuyuhun so that I could deal with Goguryeo. But you, you, just led my army to help you fight?

Where is the face!

You don’t want it at all, right?

That is to say, it was Li Chengqian who did this. If it had been Li Yuanchang, he would have wished that his imperial commander had personally gone to quell the rebellion.

However, while he was scolding, he also had a wry smile on his face: "This little bastard really dares to think and do it..."
