Compared to the empty words of "Great Resilience" and "Great Resilience is invincible", the most exciting thing about the stainless steel industry that Liu Mingqi said is the most inspiring.

Including Jing and the Imperial Capital, Dakang is on the right path.

But they didn't know how powerful and advanced this correctness was.

Now I have experienced it myself.

Emperor Jinghe looked at Liu Mingqi with a more kind look.

Mingqi is the most precious gift God has given me Dakang!

With him here, Dakang will definitely develop well. I dare not think about it for generations, but it will be easy to continue for more than ten generations.

My unborn prince, the best thing my father can do for you is to leave you your cousin Mingqi!

I hope you can cherish this country’s treasure like me!

Although the prime ministers and ministers did not involve much industry, they were all the smartest people in the world. After careful consideration, they understood the general meaning.

"If we can continue to invent various war-use ordnances, it would definitely be better." Cao Yi exclaimed, but said: "But this manufacturing achievement has nothing to do with the actual issues we are discussing today... Your Highness, do you think it is reasonable to take out a part of the people's life-saving food and give it to you?"

"Unreasonable." Liu Mingqi said neatly, "Any act of sacrificing our own safety and helping others is stupid."

"Then can you come up with a solution?" Nangong Ji asked, "I see what you mean by your nobleman. It seems that the support and aid money is Chenbai."

After a pause, he said, "Note that sweet potatoes need to be harvested until September. Even if they have harvested them, we will definitely not be able to provide this to Qiyan. This is the bottom line of my food security in Dakang. They know that the later the better!"

"I agree with Lord Nangong's opinion." Ge Songdao voted directly, "We must be able to sow seeds across the country and increase production to ensure food before we can say something else."

Everyone is very realistic and knows that if a treasure like sweet potato is promoted nationwide in the future, it will never be possible for it to be spread.

But the later the time, the better.

As long as Dakang is not short of food, no disaster will destroy this country.

Liu Mingqi naturally knew this truth.

He said slowly: "Don't worry, I haven't thought about giving them sweet potatoes. My plan is to buy food overseas."

"overseas?"

Nangong Ji shook his head: "We have bought it before. The Southern Navy went to buy it many times. The price is expensive, the things are not good, and there are also a lot of losses. It is far from worth it."

"This is a business model." Liu Mingqi said: "Sir Nangong, you should know that any official intervention in procurement will definitely cause such a situation of high prices and poor quality, so we cannot let the official come forward."

"Would you let the people buy it?" Nangong Ji said in confusion, "But their costs will be even more expensive?"

"As long as it is operated properly, it will only be more convenient and easier." Liu Mingqi said: "Besides, this has greater benefits."

"What are the benefits?" asked Emperor Jing.

"Didn't we ban them from doing business with the six countries? But there is no ban on business at sea." Liu Mingqi said: "If their businessmen want to make money, they can transfer their positions to the ocean and do maritime business... Overseas, there are dozens of countries of all sizes and big and small, and there are countless gold and silver treasures. Can't they do business?"

"But they were doing land business before, and it was safe..." Nangong Ji said something, but suddenly stopped: "Your Highness, you asked your concubine Mrs. Chen to encircle and suppress pirates this year. Isn't it because of this?"

Only then did everyone realize that in half a year this year, Liu Mingqi's concubine Chen Xiaowei killed tens of thousands of pirates in the southeastern waters of Dakang in one breath, causing countless pirates to flee.

In this way, the entire southeastern waters of Dakang seem to be safer.

"Of course not. Xiaowei is just to avenge her family." Liu Mingqi shook her hand and said, "But this happened to be an unintentional planting willows and willows, which makes it convenient for everyone to do business!"

I believe you!

A group of ministers expressed their disbelief in their hearts.

They just felt that Liu Mingqi didn't want this credit to be easy.

Lian Jing and Emperor also said, "Chen Xiaowei has made great contributions. When she comes to the capital, Cao Xiang will discuss it and give her a title reward."

"The old minister follows the order."

Cao Yi nodded and said.

Ge Songdao immediately turned the crooked building back: "Your Highness, you should talk about the big deal about purchasing grain."

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "In the business world, businessmen don't have much morality to say, and they care more about interests. If they want them to buy food in large quantities, they must give them enough benefits."

After all, Nangong Ji was the Minister of Revenue for many years. He tentatively said: "Reduce and exempt business taxes?"

"right!"

Liu Mingqi nodded, "With Sima Bei's operation in Pengzhou Prefecture, we are not short of money during this period, so at this time, we still need the most scarce things. Don't think that this is not worth it. If you have money, you can't buy rice. The more we buy in the court, does not mean that the national treasury is more abundant?"

"That's true." Ma Haoqiu agreed, "Food is in short supply at any time and can be stored."

"But if the price is too expensive, it won't work?" Nangong Ji said: "According to the current price, if you can buy it at ten cents per kilogram in the Jiangnan area, it will be the most cost-effective. If it increases to fifteen cents, there is no need to buy it."

"Isn't the rice price in Jiangnan about seven cents?" the emperor frowned and asked, "It's a good deal for ten cents?"

"The Qiwen is because they are in the local area, and they save all kinds of transportation costs and losses." Nangong Ji explained: "If you deliver goods directly at the wharf and then transfer to the canal directly, you will save the intermediate links, and ten cents will be paid."

"All right."

Jing Hedi nodded, "Who do you know how much food is overseas?"

Gao Jing is not here now, and Dong Yasheng, who is in charge of the intelligence system, replaced him.

Hearing this, Dongyasheng said, "Your Majesty, according to the statistics in the previous few years, and the aristocratic children who came to Dakang, in the two countries where the grain production is the most abundant, the market price of rice should be equivalent to three cents per kilogram."

"Three cents?"

Almost everyone present was shocked.

In such a prosperous place in Jiangnan, the cheapest in the past decade is only 7 cents per pound!

How can they make three cents?

Liu Mingqi understood: "It's nothing strange about three cents! Not only is the land in their place very fertile, but the rice is ripe three times a year, which is equivalent to the sowing harvest in Jiangnan for one and a half years... By the way, are there many fields they have developed there?"

“It shouldn’t be a lot.”

Dongyasheng said: "Because their population is not large and the demand is not that big, they can't afford to sell it to the people of the surrounding islands on weekdays. After all, in those places, in addition to rice, there are many foods to eat, so you don't have to spend money to buy them."

"If this is the case, then we have to buy a little more." Cao Yi couldn't help but say, "Even if the cost of ten cents is doubled, it can be purchased in large quantities."

"Don't think too simple." Feng Yuqiang said, "They buy it for three cents, but they don't have to sell it for ten cents when they come back? Can't they sell it for twenty cents? Can't they sell it for thirty cents?"

"They dare!"

Emperor Jinghe immediately became angry, "Do they still have shame to make such a fortune?"

At this time, only Liu Mingqi could talk to him: "Your Majesty, if you don't want them to make money, then they won't do this business, it's no big deal."

"Well……"

Jing Hedi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

yes.

You are the emperor, how much can they sell for? But if they know in advance, I can't buy it in advance and sell it... You can't force us to do business, right?

Cao Yi was very steady at this time: "Your Highness, just say what you have if you have any ideas. Don't hide it. It's great to finish it in one breath."

The boy smiled, "If you want to solve this problem, first, someone needs to take the lead. The caravan cannot be small in size, so you can control the situation, and it can also make people know that you can make a lot of money after buying grain. As long as you have a gross profit margin of more than 30%, I think many people are willing to do it!"

"This is simple." Ge Songdao said: "Mrs. Chen's fleet can go, but she has more than 70 ships!"

"Yes."

Jing Hedi was in a good mood again, "Mingqi, just let Xiaowei go!"

"She has been busy for half a year, so she won't need her." Liu Mingqi mentioned another candidate, "Look for my uncle! He has been waiting for the four-masted sailboat for a year. Seeing Xiaowei so majestic, he must have wanted to go out too! Let him take the fleet out. If he is faster, he will be back in November."

It is August now, and it is just a smooth journey from Zhejiang to Li and Luguo. If you speed up, you can arrive in one month.

But it will take a little longer when you come back, so it is not a long time to count as two months.

Jing Hedi calculated a little: "Well, if you can come back before the New Year, it can also make up for the transferred food in Jiangnan. It won't be a panic... Well, today I'll send a letter to Fei Ge to let him set off quickly!"

His resolution was a little arbitrary, and before the discussion was over, Xu Dongping set off.

But Cao Yi and the others did not object.

Buying grain is not a bad thing at any time.

The more the better!
