Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 38 Thought you were on the second floor, but didn't expect you to be on the third floor?

That's right, it's borrowing food.

In the eyes of outsiders, King Ning's joining was an extremely unfavorable thing, but in Xu Shouyun's view, it was a good thing.

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

Is it a good thing to change rice to mulberry?

The answer is obvious. In the case of sufficient food, it must be a good thing to change rice to mulberry.

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

But changing rice to mulberry has two fatal disadvantages.

The first is grain. If the grain in a province is changed to mulberry fields, the price of grain will inevitably increase sharply.

Noble families would not do this, instead they would choose to grow food. In this way, the common people would earn some money with great difficulty, but they would be earned by these bastards. , The officials earn, but the common people lose.

For the monarch, the people are extremely important. After all, without the people, the country would have no meaning of existence.

If this problem is not resolved, changing rice to mulberry will definitely kill people.

Moreover, Yang Dang is waiting for Liu Dang to make a mistake, and will use any means at that time. Liu Dang's idea is very simple, if there is not enough food, he will transfer food from other provinces, but the problem is that if there is a mistake in the middle, it will be a big deal.

If a chain reaction is caused, civil uprisings will occur, and then troubles will appear one after another, even if the gods come, they will not be able to save them.

The second is political struggles. We can still control enough food in the early stage, but I am afraid that someone will make troubles, such as destroying dams and flooding fertile land in order to lower the price of land.

Leading to the displacement of the people, the end result is either death or rebellion, and there is no other choice.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that changing rice to mulberry is a bad thing.

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

"grown ups."

"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 definitely withdraw."

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

"When the time is right, the empress only needs to do one thing, then the matter of changing rice into mulberry can be fully implemented, and both parties will do it well."

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

"whats the matter?"

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

"The right to choose the site is still handed over to Li Jie, but the post of inspector will be set up. His Highness the King of Qin will personally visit the pilot prefectures for converting rice into mulberry, supervise the local fertile land, control the sale and purchase of the land, and promote the conversion of rice into mulberry."

"The king of Yan will then direct the progress of this matter in the capital. No matter what happens, it must be approved by the king of Yan. Without the approval of the king of Yan, local officials should not act rashly."

"Finally, please ask King Ning to send troops to guard the selected site, river dams, government granaries, give power to life and death, set up the Sangtian Office, and any disputes involving the sale and planting of mulberry fields can be reported to the Sangtian Office. 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 found, they must be reported to the imperial court immediately. If there are any omissions, one mu of land will be missing. At least, they will be dismissed from office, and at worst, the whole family will be executed."

"Let the world know that changing rice to mulberry will surely succeed, and no one will dare to do something about it."

Xu Shouyun expressed his thoughts.

After Jiang Ling listened to this suggestion, she fell silent immediately, and she was thinking seriously.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Ling couldn't help but speak.

"You mean to say that when King Qin and King Yan are in fierce competition, let King Qin supervise King Yan, then King Yan supervise King Qin, then King Ning supervise the two of them, and finally let Yang Ning and others supervise King Ning, Reach the role of mutual supervision?"

Jiang Ling figured out what Xu Shouyun meant.

"Yes, not quite."

Xu Shouyun nodded, superficially meaning this, but actually not.

"But what if the three princes reach an agreement to share the rice and mulberry soup together?"

Jiang Ling frowned, she had a good idea, but wasn't she afraid that the three princes would shake hands and make peace?

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shouyun shook his head.

"My lord, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Why did your subordinates say that you want the King of Qin to come to the site where you want to change rice into mulberry? And why did you 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 out, and when he said the last four words, his tone was a little more serious.

This statement came out.

Jiang Ling was still a little puzzled: "So what if we announce it to the world? Why don't these three princes sit down and shake hands for such a big benefit?"

Hearing this, Xu Shouyun was really speechless, but it's normal to think about it. The other party is just an undercover agent, so it's normal to not know.

After thinking about it, Xu Shouyun stopped being so mysterious.

"My lord, although the profit from converting rice into mulberry is considerable, it is not enough to cause the three princes to fight."

"Do you really think that King Yan's entry is for the silver?"

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

Xu Shouyun made his words more transparent.

For a moment, Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, he looked at Xu Shouyun and said, "You are talking about the hearts of the people."

When she said the answer, Xu Shouyun nodded emphatically.

"That's right, it's the hearts of the people."

"King Yan ended so decisively this time, and it also involves King Ning. It's nothing more than a dispute among the people."

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

"Why wait until now?"

"At this time, taking action at this time is nothing more than killing two birds with one stone. It can not only severely damage King Qin's power, but also implement the transformation of rice into mulberry with peace of mind."

"There is no need to tear your face apart for things like earning silver taels, but fighting for the hearts and minds of the people is different."

"If the right to choose the site is really given to Li Shangshu, King Yan will definitely perform well in the eyes of the people, and he will not worry about King Qin taking action to destroy it. After all, if it is destroyed, the ultimate responsibility will be on Liuge Lao."

"So in King Yan's view, the core reason for grabbing the right to change rice to mulberry is to win the hearts of the people without taking any responsibility."

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

"The 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 bring King Ning to fight to the end."

"The Yang party will definitely support King Yan, so in the end result, King Yan will definitely get the right to choose the site."

"And what the empress has to do is to announce it to the world, and to defend against it, to give King Qin and King Ning a chance to win the hearts of the people."

"My lord, do you understand?"

Xu Shouyun said a lot in one breath, but he also thoroughly explained the current situation.

However, at this moment, Jiang Ling was already dumbfounded.

As soon as Xu Shouyun's popular opinion came out, her thoughts were completely shattered.

This is too deep, right?

I thought Xu Shouyun was on the second floor, but Xu Shouyun saw the third floor directly?

"That is to say."

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

Jiang Ling asked back.

"That's not it either."

"Your Majesty wants to give King Qin and King Ning a chance. If you don't give them this chance to supervise, King Qin will definitely not let it go."

"Give one person a chance to win the hearts of the people. In order to win the hearts of the people, the three princes will definitely not mess around."

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

"As long as it is announced to the world, the people will know that these three princes are doing this. They really didn't do a good job. These rumors are not a joke."

"These three dream of being emperors every day. When they are in their positions, gold and silver are not at all important. The throne of the Dragon Throne is what they value most."

Xu Shouyun spoke casually.

But that's the truth.

At this moment, Jiang Ling also fully understood.

She wanted to laugh, but in order to maintain her identity, she forced herself to hold back.
