Chapter 52 Planning

When the rain stopped, slaves and Chengdan from the Qin State official temple were driven out to build roads.

The disaster-stricken camp is also underway for construction and training.

Wang Jian held the military talisman and collected five hundred weapons and fifty pairs of leather armor, and then began to select strong husbands in the camp.

The husbands were not very enthusiastic about the military service. Wang Jian made the words very clear, and the five hundred people he selected would not go to war.

Not going to fight means there is no expected future income.

Although the work of building houses and digging roads and canals is tiring, I have money to get it!

Before the rain disaster, the price of grain stipulated by the Qin Law was fifteen taels per stone of millet.

Each husband can get three or a liang of money for a day, that is, six or a half taels of money. If the ink person is recorded as a good grade, he can get one or two extra coins.

On one hand, there are real benefits, and on the other hand, there are things that cannot see benefits. It is normal for husbands to have no enthusiasm for joining the army.

But even without enthusiasm, the husbands still obeyed the command and were willing to serve Wang Sunzheng in the military.

...

Ying Zheng himself is still running around.

Food is hard to buy nowadays.

The corn, which was originally thirty coins per stone, has now disappeared on the market. The only ones are selling white rice, mizi, wheat and other grains. Because there is no rigid regulation on the prices of these things in the Qin law, these things generally have increased a lot, and the price of Chen rice has soared to more than one hundred yuan.

Ying Zheng had a headache. If he bought these foods, he would have been slaughtered.

I feel unwilling, but there is no good idea.

Xiong Dang's car was walking on the road, and Ying Zheng suddenly asked, "Xiong Dang, when did Meng Yan die?"

Xiong Dang's body stiffened and replied carefully: "Report to His Highness, Prince, Meng Baichang... He died of drunkenness and had been dead for three days."

"Three days." Ying Zheng rubbed his eyebrows.

He doesn't believe it if he says he dies of drunkenness.

What Ying Zhu personally admitted was that he had removed Meng Yan's cooking.

The reason is to keep Ying Zheng confidential.

Ju Zizhou was not careful when teaching knowledge, and was heard by some outsiders. After Ying Zhu learned about this, he killed the person who heard this knowledge except Xiong Dang.

When Ying Zheng thought of this section, he suddenly wanted to ask Ju Zizhou's impulse: Senior brother, did you not shy away from others when teaching me rituals? Did you expect that these rituals would cause death to those who listened to them?

Sighing, Ying Zheng said, "Does Meng Yan have a wife and children?"

"This..." Xiong Dang hesitated: "I don't know."

"I have some gold and jade goods in the palace. After I go back, you can take some and send them to his wife and children." Ying Zheng sighed.

"No." Xiong Dang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Does His Highness the Prince have any other instructions?"

"No more, drive." Ying Zheng sighed: "I don't know when I will get enough food."

...

"Ying Zheng has a very weak concept of money." Ju Zizhou wrote: "I don't know much about purchasing power."

"So the current task is to let him know the most basic prices, so as to establish his understanding of the current productivity, and thus make him desire to develop productivity."

He is re-forming the plan, which is of great importance, so every aspect of the plan must be perfect.

The prerequisite for the plan is the result obtained by Ju Zizhou's continuous testing. Although there will inevitably be deviations, Ju Zizhou is confident that the deviation will not be very large.

——He has tried Ying Zheng several times with inappropriate amounts of money. This simple sentence is the result of his tests several times: the first time he tested it when Ying Zheng conquered Gou Xia'er.

The monthly salary for each Ranger is from one hundred copper coins to one pound of gold, which is about half a tael of 9,600 coins.

The price difference of nearly 100 times made the lower-level rangers suddenly have the intention to die for Ying Zheng, and also made Ying Zheng clearly feel the feeling of mastering "production relations", illuminating his desire to master "production relations".

But Ju Zizhou was too involved at that time, and was even forced to determine the relationship between "school brothers" and "comrades" in advance by Ying Zheng's counterattack.

The second time was in the "Handan Survey", where two traps were set up in the income exchanged by prices, but Ying Zheng, who grew up in Zhao, was completely unaware of it.

And he also memorized it for more than a month.

This further confirmed Ju Zizhou's conjecture.

The last two tests were when the victims were making wages and talking about the food shortage before.

Ying Zheng sat beside Ju Zizhou with his little hands in his arms and watched him write rules. While marveling at Ju Zizhou's meticulous thoughts, he was not able to understand the strangeness of some rules.

But he did not make any comments on money from beginning to end.

Ying Zheng did not express any comments on the food gap and the growth of grain prices.

Ju Zizhou personally prefers that Ying Zheng is not aware of the hidden tricks.

So now, Ju Zizhou gave up running around and chose to let Ying Zheng raise food by himself.

Ju Zizhou has confirmed that during the process of raising food, King Yingzhu of Qin will not give him any help.

As for Queen Huayang, with Ying Zheng's personality and Ju Zizhou blocked the road with rhetoric, he was unlikely to ask for help again.

So the method he can choose now is to "buy grain"!

When buying grain, you have to accept a "premium".

The rise in food prices in the year of disaster is a problem that no dynasty can avoid. This is an economic law and cannot be reversed.

Ju Zizhou had already instructed Xiong Dang: When those profiteers quoted, remind Wang Sun Zheng of the food price before the rain disaster in time, so that His Highness Wang Sun should not be exploited by those guys!

When Ying Zheng knew about the price increase, he knew the fact that he had become a fat sheep and was exploited, and he would inevitably be angry.

If it is put on anyone, he will be angry!

Ju Zizhou touched his heart.

When he encountered such a situation, he was furious.

But anger cannot solve the problem.

In the end, Ying Zheng must have to endure his anger and collect food at a high price.

Because he needs the food to support his "foundation".

Even if Ying Zheng was angry and refused to buy it, Ju Zizhou would take his money to buy it himself.

In short, Ying Zheng must take over this loss!

Only after suffering losses will you be impressed and hate such things.

It will be easier for oneself to act!

Ju Zizhou put down his writing, roughly browsed his plan, and wrote a response according to the worst situation.

After writing, he read the two plans from beginning to end, then threw himself into the fire and watched the bamboo slips burn.

"Ten thousand years are too long..."
