Maritime transportation is naturally more advantageous than canal transportation.

The shipping time is relatively shorter than that of the canal transport, and the cost is much cheaper.

The most affected canal transportation is the season.

Whenever the grain is harvested, the official ships passing through the canal road transport a lot of food.

The smooth transportation of the canal also ensure that the tax and grain in Jiangnan is sufficient and transported to the capital on time, safely and efficiently.

In early autumn this year, autumn waters flooded, and it was actually more than other places that were affected.

After the flood flooded, it did not rain for a while, and then it became winter.

Even the granaries of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital were affected.

Ji Zhong put the matter of shipping aside and said directly: "Your Majesty, shipping is certainly feasible, but the food stored in our Ministry of Revenue cannot be transferred to the local area."

"I think we should first transfer 200,000 shi of grain, and wait until the local grain prices fall."

"The remaining food must be kept waiting for allocation."

Insufficient grain stocks have always been a major problem for the Ministry of Revenue.

Although I have a little more income this year, I still spend as much as I get.

Not to mention how much you spend, the Ministry of Revenue’s resource call has been pre-registered to ten years later.

Emperor Hongzhi's treasury actually had a batch of salt.

But salt cannot replace food.

In this way, even if the canal transportation is completed, it can only transport a batch of grain to wait for the local grain prices to fall.

Emperor Hongzhi said in embarrassment: "Twenty-hundred thousand stones..."

Although there are many, Qingyang Prefecture is so big.

I went to the place evenly, and I guess I couldn't eat it for two days.

And some points were also scored to Pingliang Mansion.

With the original local grain reserves, can the grain prices really fall completely in the past few days?

Zhu Houzhao approached Zhao Ce and whispered: "Yongxibo, if the food of the imperial court can arrive quickly, the price of grain will definitely fall."

"Will using your previous method be able to speed up the decline in grain prices?"

Zhao Ce shook his head.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be such trouble."

"After the food of the imperial court arrives, the price of grain will fall. Strive for higher prices at this time is like adding more to the slightest amount."

"With sea transportation, I will shorten the transportation time and cost. I have another way to let the merchants who store the grain take the initiative to release the grain after the imperial court's grain arrives in the local area."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up.

"What's the solution? Tell me!"

The two of them talked without hiding them.

Everyone has temporarily put the transportation problem that was solved first and waited for the solution to the food that Zhao Ce mentioned.

Zhao Ce said: "It seems that there are two difficulties in this disaster relief."

"One is a transportation problem, sea transportation can be temporarily solved."

"The second is the problem of food shortage. Even if the transportation problem is solved, the problem will not be completely solved."

Chen Ren, the Minister of Revenue, who was sitting behind the side, suddenly cursed.

"No business is not businessman, profit is the only way to do it!"

"Yong Xibo proposed that the court raises commercial taxes, which became a means of their confrontation with the court!"

Zhao Ce said: "This adult, a businessman is pursuing profits, this is an unchanging fact."

"Instead of scolding businessmen, we should think about how to make good use of them."

"As long as they can actively lower the food prices, the disaster will naturally be resolved."

Chen Ren glanced at Zhao Ce and said in a less enthusiastic tone: "Yongxibo has many ways, so what can you tell me about using the method of shipping to let these merchants take the initiative to release grain at a low price?"

Although this person is not familiar with Zhao Ce, his tone of speaking is just unfamiliar.

But Zhao Ce always felt that there seemed to be a hint of hostility in this person's words?

He didn't say anything after he said so much here before.

Now I suddenly spoke.

The words also reminded everyone that the increase in trade tax was done by themselves.

In other words, he is going around in circles and blaming himself?

Zhao Ce said calmly: "The method I used before when I was in my hometown was to let the government use economic leverage to regulate prices."

"As long as you understand the market economy, this method can be used to make appropriate deformation."

"If we have something we can use as an economic regulation method, we can reduce the high local food prices in a short period of time."

Zhao Ce said something and the group went into the clouds and fog.

After saying that, Zhao Ce looked at Chen Ren who had just spoken and smiled and said, "Mr. Chen thinks how is this economic method?"

Chen Ren shook his face, thinking that he didn't even understand any economic means.

He could only temporarily withdraw his target, and his expression was faint and silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Ce nodded understandingly.

"I thought that all the lords of the Ministry of Revenue were like Shangshu, who were good at economics."

"But I don't want such a simple principle, this adult has never heard of it."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao looked at Chen Ren and said nodded.

Emperor Hongzhi did not move the eight winds and did not speak out.

The beard of the beard who was borrowed to cross the bridge shook and looked at Li Dongyang with some amusement.

Li Dongyang also looked back at him, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

Chen Ren spoke out and Li Dongyang naturally knew what was going on.

As the main means of transportation of grain and goods, the related chores are all fat.

As for the ports along the coast, except for being used by official ships, most of them are controlled by some large families.

The official road is used for private purposes, and they eat a lot.

Now that you want to go through sea transportation, isn’t you going to steal the wealth of many people?

After all, these inland families can't just turn to occupy the sea line now, right?

So when I first heard Zhao Ce say that shipping, many people present looked unrecognizable.

Li Dongyang also prepared to talk to Zhao Ce about this matter separately after the discussion.

However, Chen Ren, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, suddenly spoke out.

However, Zhao Ce will not let himself suffer any losses.

The adults retorted him, and he immediately used a lot of ununderstood words and retorted them.

Li Dongyang coughed lightly and said, "Linzhi, what exactly do you mean as an economic regulation method?"

Zhao Ce withdrew his eyes and said, "This thing is easy to deal with, and high-yield crops are feasible."

"As long as there are large quantities of high-yield grains entering the market and using them as a medium for the court to regulate prices, local grain prices will naturally be greatly impacted."

"The court took action and directly used this medium to conduct macro-control in the economic market and reduce the price of grain."

"In this way, the price will naturally fall back in a short period of time."

"And it will not only fall back, but it will even be lower than before."

Chen Ren laughed.

"I understand Yongxibo's words."

"So we asked our court to make up a high-yield grain and directly deceive local merchants to make them believe it."

"So this will achieve the purpose of adjusting local grain prices and letting grain prices fall?"

Zhao Ce raised his eyebrows.

"Make it up?"

"Mr. Chen is wrong."

Chen Ren was choked by Zhao Ce's repeated words and couldn't help but get angry.

"What I said is wrong?"

"The rice with the best yield per mu per mu is occasionally produced by three to four stones per mu, which is already the highest yield."

"If you want to be more productive, don't you have to make it up?"

"Mr. Chen, it seems that you are indeed a little ignorant."

Zhao Ce looked at him with a slight provocation.

"How bold a person is, how rich the land is."
