That’s right, it’s just borrowing food.

Prince Ning's joining seemed to be an extremely unfavorable thing to outsiders, but in Xu Shouyun's view, it was a good thing.

To understand this point of view, you must first understand one thing.

Is it a good thing to change rice to mulberry?

The answer is obvious: when there is sufficient food, changing rice to mulberry must be a good thing.

Because silk and satin can indeed be sold to the whole world, and the price difference earned is definitely something that cannot be earned by growing grain.

But converting rice to mulberry has two fatal disadvantages.

The first is food. If the food in a province is replaced by mulberry fields, the price of food will inevitably increase sharply.

Rich families will not do this. Instead, they will choose to grow grain. In this way, the common people will finally make some money, but these bastards will make it away again. Over and over again, the treasury will make money, and the rich family will make money.

, officials make money, but it is the common people who lose.

For the monarch, the people are particularly important. After all, without the people, the country has no meaning of existence.

If this problem is not solved, converting rice into mulberry will definitely kill people.

Moreover, Party Yang is waiting for Party Liu to make a mistake, and will use all means when the time comes. Party Liu's idea is very simple. If there is not enough food, they will transfer food from other provinces. But the problem is that once there is a mistake in the middle, it will be a big deal.

If it causes a chain reaction, a civil commotion will occur, and troubles will appear one after another, and the gods will not be able to save them.

The second is political struggle. We can still manage enough food in the early stage, but we are afraid that someone will cause trouble, such as destroying dams and flooding fertile farmland in order to lower land prices.

As a result, the people are displaced, and the final result is either death or rebellion. There is no other choice.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that converting rice into mulberry is a bad thing.

Now that King Ning has joined, these two problems can be perfectly solved.

"My lord."

"Now that the two parties are fighting, King Yan pulls King Ning into the arena, and King Qin is bound to fight back. In this way, at the critical moment, King Ning will inevitably leave."

"The more intense the fight between the two princes, the greater the cost. At this time, as long as the empress does not express her position, the fight between the two parties will be endless."

"When the time comes, the Empress only needs to do one thing, and then the change of rice to mulberry will be completely implemented, and both parties will do it beautifully."

Xu Shouyun spoke up and analyzed the situation to Jiang Ling.

"What happened?"

Jiang Ling understood the first half completely, but she couldn't understand the second half.

"The right to select the site is still given to Li Jie, but the position of inspector is set up. His Highness the King of Qin will personally visit the pilot site for converting rice to mulberry, inspect the local fertile fields, control the purchase and sale of fields, and promote the conversion of rice to mulberry."

"The King of Yan will direct the progress of this matter in Kyoto. No matter what happens, it must be approved by the King of Yan. Without the approval of the King of Yan, local officials cannot act rashly."

"Finally, please ask King Ning to send troops to guard the site, river dams, and government granaries. Give him the power of life and death, and set up a mulberry field office. Any disputes involving mulberry field sales, planting, etc. can be reported to the mulberry field office, and King Ning can make his own decision.

”

"The important officials of the Yang Party faction will supervise the sale of fertile land. Once any problems are discovered, they must be reported to the court as soon as possible. If there are any omissions and an acre of land is missing, the official will be dismissed from office, or the whole family will be executed."

"If you tell the world again, changing rice to mulberry will definitely succeed, and no one will dare to do anything about it."

Xu Shouyun expressed his thoughts.

After Jiang Ling listened to this suggestion, she suddenly fell silent. She was thinking seriously.

After a quarter of an hour, Jiang Ling couldn't help but speak.

"You mean to take advantage of the fierce competition between King Qin and King Yan to let King Qin supervise King Yan, then let King Yan supervise King Qin, then let King Ning supervise the two of them, and finally let Yang Ning and others supervise King Ning.

Achieve mutual supervision?"

Jiang Ling figured out what Xu Shouyun meant.

"Yes, not entirely."

Xu Shouyun nodded, and that was what he meant on the surface, but that was not what he actually meant.

"But what if these three princes reach an agreement and share the pie of converting rice into mulberry?"

Jiang Ling frowned. The idea was good, but wasn't he afraid that the three princes would shake hands and make peace?

As soon as he said this, Xu Shouyun shook his head.

"Sir, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Why did my subordinates say that they wanted King Qin to visit the site for converting rice into mulberry trees? And why did they ask King Ning to send troops to suppress it?"

"The key point is not to supervise each other, the key point is... to tell the world."

Xu Shouyun spoke up, and when he said the last four words, his tone became heavier.

As soon as these words came out.

Jiang Ling was still a little confused: "What can we do if we tell the world? With such a huge benefit, why don't these three princes sit down and shake hands to talk?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shouyun was really speechless, but it was normal to think about it. The other party was just an undercover agent, so it was normal for him not to know.

After thinking about it, Xu Shouyun stopped being mysterious.

"Sir, although the profit from converting rice to mulberry is considerable, it is not enough to make the three princes fight."

"Do you really think King Yan's entrance is because of the silver?"

"Is there something that, in the eyes of the three princes, is a hundred times more valuable than gold and silver?"

Xu Shouyun made his words more transparent.

For an instant, Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened and she looked at Xu Shouyun and said, "You are talking about the people's hearts."

She gave the answer and Xu Shouyun nodded heavily.

"That's right, it's the people's will."

"King Yan was so decisive this time, and it also involved Prince Ning. It was nothing more than a battle for the hearts and minds of the people."

"Otherwise, changing rice to mulberry was not proposed today. King Yan could have stood up and fought for it earlier."

"Why wait until this time?"

"To act at this time is to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only severely damage the power of King Qin, but also implement the transformation of rice into mulberry with peace of mind."

"There is no need to quarrel with one another to earn money, but competing for the hearts and minds of the people is different."

"If the right to choose the site is really given to Li Shangshu, the King of Yan will definitely perform well and show himself in the eyes of the people, and he will not worry about the King of Qin sabotaging it. After all, if it is damaged, the final responsibility will be on Liu Ge."

"So in King Yan's view, the core reason for grabbing the right to change the site from rice to mulberry is that it can win the hearts and minds of the people without having to bear any responsibility."

"If it fails, King Qin will take the blame. If it succeeds, he will be the biggest beneficiary."

"My subordinates have concluded that King Qin is also aware of this, so King Qin will definitely not let King Yan succeed, so King Yan will invite King Ning to fight to the end."

"Dang Yang will definitely support King Yan, so the final result must be that King Yan gets the right to choose the site."

"What the empress has to do is to tell the world and take another precaution to give King Qin and King Ning a chance to win the hearts and minds of the people."

"Sir, do you understand?"

Xu Shouyun said a lot in one breath, but he also made the current situation completely clear.

However, at this moment, Jiang Ling was dumbfounded.

As soon as Xu Shouyun's public opinion came out, her idea was completely shattered.

Isn’t this too deep?

I thought Xu Shouyun was on the second floor, but I didn’t expect that Xu Shouyun directly saw the third floor?

"That is to say."

"Even if Your Majesty does nothing, the ending will be good?"

Jiang Ling asked rhetorically.

"That's not the case either."

"Your Majesty will give King Qin and King Ning a chance. If you don't give them this opportunity to supervise, King Qin will never give up."

"If one person is given a chance to win the hearts of the people, the three princes will definitely not mess around in order to win the hearts of the people."

"This is equivalent to putting on a safety lock."

"As long as we tell the world, the people will know that these three princes are doing this, and they really didn't do it well. These rumors are no joke."

"These three dream about becoming emperors every day. When they reach this position, they don't care about gold and silver at all. The throne and throne are the things they value most."

Xu Shouyun said it very casually.

But that’s the truth.

And Jiang Ling also completely realized it at this moment.
