The so-called fair price for purchasing grain means a fixed price. No matter how much grain sells for elsewhere, the price at which the government purchases grain never changes.
Wait until there is a disaster or famine in the world, and then sell it at the same price.
In this way, the survival of many people can be guaranteed.
Of course, because the Qin Empire has had too much grain over the years, many of these things are about to be abolished.
Now Zhao Xin also brought up the matter, which surprised everyone.
An old minister named Zhang Zhe stood up directly.
This guy's loyalty to Zhao Xin is over 95%.
But even so, this guy was still very rude when speaking to Zhao Xin.
Zhang Zhe said to Zhao Xin: Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!
There is simply too much grain in the world now. If we pay for it through the national treasury, it will be a huge burden on our national treasury.
Although our national treasury is very full, it may not be able to buy all the abundant grain in the world.
Many people in the Qin Empire had experienced years of famine.
So now most of the time they have to store at least three to five years of food at home.
If food could be stored for a long time, some people would even be willing to store food for decades.
In addition, there was really no place to store the remaining goods, so these people thought of selling them.
But now, there are still too many of them, and this makes people feel really uncomfortable.
Zhao Xin smiled and said: Do you always think that if we use the money from the national treasury to buy so much food, we will definitely lose money?
It seems that although you guys are very loyal and capable, you still know too little about this world.
The vastness of this world is beyond your imagination.
So you guys are a little behind.
After Zhao Xin said this, many ministers were confused.
Weren’t we just discussing how to deal with too much food? Why are we suddenly talking about understanding the world now?
Many new ministers suddenly felt that their emperor's thinking was too unconventional.
Now they have no way to keep up with His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhao Xin smiled and said: Don’t say too much about these things, just do as I say.
Don't worry, our Great Qin Empire will not suffer any loss because of this, and the lives of the people of our Great Qin Empire will become more fulfilling.
In this way, many things are still very useful.
Zhang Zhe wanted to say something, but when they saw that Zhao Xin had already made up his mind, they stopped talking.
After all, everyone knows that once Zhao Xin makes a decision, no one can change it.
If someone tries to force it, it will not lead to any good.
This is a conclusion that countless people finally reached after paying a huge price.
The people of the Qin Empire were originally worried about the problem of food being worthless, but the Qin Empire's work efficiency was too fast, and soon all the people received the news that the government would pay a high price to buy their excess food.
This is the most direct way to earn money.
Now no one in the countryside needs food, but many times they still need money. So for them, the problem now is just a command from the emperor, and all the problems are solved.
However, in recent days, officials from various places have all looked worried as they see the increasing amount of grain in their local warehouses.
Because the money in the warehouse is becoming less and less, and they cannot finish eating so much food, where can they go to make so much money in the future?
But no one dared to disobey the Emperor's orders.
Because Zhao Xin is not an ordinary emperor. No matter who wants to do something to him secretly or openly, the result will be very miserable.
A few days later, Zhang Zhe came to report to Zhao Xin: Your Majesty, according to your request, use the money in the national treasury to purchase all the surplus food.
But now, our finances are almost unable to sustain it.
Although our treasury has a lot of money, it can't last long.
Zhao Xin asked: How much longer can we hold on?
After a little hesitation, Zhang Zhe said: It can probably last for another month, right?
If this problem is not solved after a month, then our treasury will probably be out of money.
Zhao Xin said with a laugh: This problem is easy to solve, let's borrow money.
Issue bonds and borrow money from ordinary people and some wealthy families and businessmen.
Especially those big businessmen and big families, I believe they will be very happy to do this.
In addition to these big businessmen, there are also some guys from foreign countries. We should borrow more money from them. I believe these guys will definitely be more willing.
Zhang Zhe was stunned when he heard what Zhao Xin said.
Their hall had never seen such wealth before, but their emperor actually planned to borrow money in the name of the Great Qin Empire?
What kind of operation is this?
You know, in the eyes of the people of the Qin Empire, owing something to others is a very uncomfortable thing.
Many people try every possible way to pay back the money owed to others.
Moreover, many people feel very ashamed about owing money to others.
But now, things have developed to this point, to the point where His Majesty the Emperor needs to borrow money from merchants and ordinary people?
If that's the case, where would the face of the Great Qin Empire be?
Zhao Xin smiled and said: Why are you saying so much?
Is this the question you are considering now?
All you need to do now is to do as I say. There will be absolutely no harm but only benefits for you.
After Zhao Xin said this, although many ministers did not believe it, they felt that Zhao Xin must have his reasons for doing so.
After all, Zhao Xin has fully proved his strength over the years, so this matter was left unresolved!
After Zhao Xin finished these things, he returned to the palace and relaxed with his concubines.
Finally, he got the news!
Ever since the war between the Great Qin Empire and the Northern Xiong Kingdom, the Jinyiwei under Zhao Xin's command have not only been active within the Great Qin Empire. On the contrary, the places they can go to have become so many that it is unimaginable!
This vast world is also constantly being explored.
