Liu Song still had a nose, not a nose, not an eye: "Of course, thanks to Your Majesty, even a humble minister once took charge of one's side."

"Of course the grain merchants tried their best to transport the grain to Datong because of this temptation, but where is the minimum price set by the government, they cannot lower the price casually."

Seeing that Liu Song had figured out the key, Zhu Han patiently said: "Master Liu, now do you understand my king's painstaking efforts?"

"I know that you look down on businessmen. However, businessmen are definitely the most capable group of people."

Once this official price appears, it can indeed attract a large number of businessmen to transport grain to Datong.

Liu Song curled his lips disdainfully: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not understanding what I do for the good of the people."

"If there is so much food that it cannot be sold, what do you think the result will be?"

Looking at Liu Song's expression, Zhu Han knew what he was thinking, and said angrily: "I told you, you are still not convinced, right?"

However, in fact, people don't actually need that much money to buy food.

Zhu Han nodded solemnly: "What Mr. Liu said makes sense. If possible, the most important thing the court does in a year of great disaster is to stabilize food prices."

After hearing Liu Song's words, Zhu Han blinked in confusion: "What do you mean, Mr. Liu?"

I still know how to be reasonable.

"But there are a lot of grains on the black market. In order to survive, ordinary people have to pay high prices to buy grains on the black market."

"As long as there is enough food, price is not a problem at all."

As long as there is enough food, more people will survive.

No matter where he left his job, Liu Song's official reputation has always been quite good.

Because Liu Song understood that everything Zhu Han said was right.

Liu Song naturally felt very unconvinced.

"Because of this, Wei Chen is more aware of the importance of maintaining food price stability during the current disaster."

Zhu Han was speechless, don't think that you are great because you are a loyal minister, but that you can mock me, the prince, just because you are a loyal minister.

Liu Song felt as if there was a thunderbolt striking down from the sky and piercing him right through.

"Before the grain merchants lower their prices, of course the people have to tighten their belts and live a better life."

"Believe it or not, as soon as this price appears, all the merchants in the Ming Dynasty will risk their lives to transport grain to Datong."

"The four taels of silver and one stone of food are also for the benefit of the people affected by the disaster in Datong?"

"But every time like this, the grain merchants' food suddenly becomes insufficient."

Believe it or not, this king...

Of course he has done this kind of thing.

Zhu Han waved his hand angrily: "No problem, get up. I know that Mr. Liu has no other intentions. He is just worried about the people of Datong."

"It's just that in the beginning, the people may have a difficult time."

"To make money, these people will do anything."

Although the government also needs to pay some money to purchase food.

"Master Liu, the prices set by our government are too low, and those businessmen can take advantage of the loopholes and sell the grain at high prices."

Now, all the achievements he had made in the past were rendered worthless by Zhu Han.

"Wait a minute..." Liu Song seemed to suddenly think of something, and then said in embarrassment: "But Your Majesty, haven't you said before that the minimum price of grain shipped to Datong is four taels of silver? "

"We are the government, why do we want the people to buy food at the original price?"

In the past, the court often had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in disaster relief, and the results were not very good.

"At this time, the only thing our government has to do is to turn a blind eye."

But after Zhu Han's continuous efforts, such a serious drought seemed to be nothing at all.

"But Your Majesty, even if there is enough food, how can the people in the disaster area afford such a high price?"

On the surface, prices are indeed under control. All grain stores will sell grain at prices set by the government.

"With such multi-pronged measures, the burden on the people is naturally much greater than before the disaster, but it is still within the tolerance of the people."

Liu Song frowned slightly: "But Your Majesty, will those businessmen be dissatisfied if this happens?"

"To deal with these damn profiteers, of course the government will use thunderous methods, and there must be no tolerance at all!" Liu Song roared murderously.

"Food is the most important thing for the people. If the price of food cannot be guaranteed, the people in the disaster area will only be panicked and the consequences will be disastrous."

But the money used to come from the government.

Moreover, during times of famine, grain merchants were almost always on the opposite side of the government.

Now he has become a good helper for the government.

A win-win situation.
