    After three drinks and five dishes, Liu Jin, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao swept away all the seafood on the table. At the same time, there were several empty jars beside them. All four of them were already drunk.  drunk.

    "You brat, the price of food here in the capital has skyrocketed. Your Majesty is also very anxious. What should we do next?"

    Zhou Jing was already a little drunk, sitting very close to Liu Jin, patting Liu Jin on the shoulder and asked.

    "It's very simple, that is, keep transporting sea fish to the capital. We sell it for one penny per catty, and this meat sells for one penny per catty. Do you want to lower the price of this food?"

    Liu Jin smiled, the ancients did not deceive me. Sure enough, after a few drinks at the wine table, the relationship was different. Now he has already called himself a brat.

    "However, these people are all old foxes. Liu Jin is not sure whether they are pretending, so he is always secretly vigilant in his heart and thinks twice before speaking.

    "As long as we stabilize food prices in Beijing, Tianjin, Yongping Prefecture in Beizhili, and the northwest of Shanxi, there will be no problem with this famine."

    "The capital is naturally the top priority, because there are millions of people in the capital, and eating and drinking every day is a big problem. Once there is a problem here, it will be a big problem."

    "As for Yongping Prefecture and Shanxi, we only need to transport the food in our hands there, and use the previous disaster relief methods to support it with porridge and water until the food arrives from the south."

    "The price of this grain will naturally drop by then. When the spring wheat harvest comes in the fall, the price of this grain will return to its previous price."

    Although Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao were slightly drunk, they all listened carefully. They had heard Liu Jin's analysis of this famine before, and knew that they should be treated differently.

    When I heard it now, it became clearer immediately. I understood that the core and key point now is the capital. As long as there is no chaos in the capital and food prices can come down, everything will be fine.

    "Haha, I see, all this has already been in your plan."

    Li Dongyang thought carefully, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

    He now understands that Liu Jin is playing a big game. He has planned everything long ago. He comes to Tianjin to build ships, go fishing, go to North Korea to do business, buy grain, and build buildings.  The cement road leading to the capital.

    The distance between Beijing and Tianjin is only over 100 kilometers. With tens of thousands of disaster victims coming to build roads at the same time, it will not take long to build a spacious cement road.

    With this cement road, the travel between Beijing and Tianjin has become extremely convenient and fast. The specially-made cargo carriages from Xishan Coal Industry can continuously transport marine fish from Tianjin and rice from North Korea.  past.

    Every step is calculated clearly, link by link, seamless, which makes people admire them very much.

    Liu Jin laughed when he heard this. To be honest, Liu Jin had already planned all this. Ever since he concluded that someone was deliberately targeting him, Liu Jin had been thinking hard about countermeasures.

    He also thought about the strategy of retaliating with the enemy. Since they want to rely on the food in their hands to target themselves, he will also let them suffer a big loss in terms of food.

    Since this time, Liu Jin has been asking his student Tong Yuan to pay attention to the price of food from the south.

    There is famine in the three northern provinces. In fact, there is no need for the imperial court to order grain transfer. The grain merchants themselves know how to transport grain to the north.

    Because this food, which usually costs a few pennies per pound, can be sold for several times the price during a famine, sometimes even more than ten times the price, the profit can be imagined.

    So sometimes famine is not terrible. What is terrible is man-made disaster, or the kind of large-scale famine. Like this famine in the three northern provinces, it is just a serious situation in the north. There is nothing too terrible.  Grain merchants who hear the news will continue to transport grain over and make a lot of money.

    Originally, when these grain merchants shipped grain, the price would rise. If it increased several times, it would be considered normal operation. Coupled with official disaster relief and so on, the famine would soon pass.

    But this time, a big game was played, and many grain merchants were united to eat all the grain shipped from the south. At the same time, they also found a way to take away the grain from the hands of the government.

    Naturally, the food from the south cannot be as cheap as before. If these people want to eat the food from the south, the price will naturally be several times more expensive than before, and becauseOnly by eating all the food coming from the south can they gain the advantage of controlling the market. The money will continue to flow out like running water.

    Of course, their original calculation was very good. As long as the price of food rises, they will not only be able to make a lot of money from the famine, but they can also take advantage of Xishan Coal Industry, Glass Factory, etc.  In the belly, they can achieve their ultimate goal of controlling the imperial power. It can be said that they kill multiple birds with one stone.

    Liu Jin knew very well that these people had spent at least several million taels of silver to eat the food from the south during this period. It could be said that they had already invested all their money.

    Originally, their plan was flawless, because they had firm control over the food and had their spokesperson in the court. In these famine years, the grain merchants who requisitioned it were said to have no credibility, and the court was required to use money to purchase the grain.  .

    With food in hand and someone to help talk, everything seems to be under control.

    ???????????????? But Liu Jin also used food as a breakthrough, going out to sea to fish and go to North Korea to buy food. As long as they had enough food in their hands to feed people, their plan would naturally be self-defeating.

    The people behind the plan were still limited to the Ming Dynasty. They did not expect Liu Jin to fish from sea fish, and they definitely did not expect that the ocean would be so rich. With just a few boats, millions of kilograms of sea fish could be caught in one day.  .

    I never thought that I could go to North Korea to buy grain and go to North Korea by sea. It only takes half a month to go back and forth. If I can transport five million kilograms of rice back at one time and use it to cook porridge to help the victims,  Enough to last a long time.

    "It's time to fight back now. The core point is the capital. As long as the price of food in the capital drops, the food in their hands will be worthless. They will also sell food crazily. The more they rush to sell food, the more food they have.  Prices will fall faster, and soon this famine will be over."

    Thinking of this, Liu Jin had a smile on his face.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
