When Chen Ping rushed into the study of the prime minister, he saw Bai Mo standing in front of the desk and splashing ink. When he looked closer, he saw a word "blade" written on the snow-white public delivery paper. Then Bai Mo turned the pen tip and added a heart to the bottom of the word "blade" to form a word "blade". Bai Mo's calligraphy is excellent, and the pen strength is even more straight through the back of the paper.

"Good calligraphy!" Chen Ping praised, "I didn't expect that the Prime Minister could practice good calligraphy."

Bai Mo just shook his head, then held the brush in his hand and looked at the word "完" on the paper and fell into deep thought.

Chen Ping could not guess what Bai Mo thought, so he got back to the point: "Prime Minister, about the price comparison of gold..."

"The Grand Master doesn't need to say anything more." Bai Mo suddenly reached out to stop Chen Ping, and then said, "This matter is already known." After saying this, Bai Mo pointed to the word "安" on Gongtu paper and said to Chen Ping, "安, look at the word "安". The so-called "安" means a knife in the heart. How painful would it be if you stab a knife in someone's heart?"

Chen Ping was silent. Bai Mo's words seemed irrelevant, but he seemed to understand a little.

"We are careless, we are careless." Bai Mo sighed and said, "I only know that using troops requires tolerance, but I don't know that governance requires tolerance, and everything needs to be tolerated. We have to handle the food shortage in Xianyang this time too quickly and too hasty. Regarding the way of business, we are far from them. This is really impossible to accept it."

Chen Ping asked: "What the Prime Minister means... Is it so tolerant of the price comparison of gold?"

"What else can you do if you can't bear it?" Bai Mo sighed, "For the sake of the price of grain, King Han and King Zhao have intervened once. We also signed an agreement with the other party. There are both black and white words and cannot be denied. As for the dispute over the price comparison of gold, we are negligent. We cannot blame them. We will not pay attention to this matter in front of King Han and King Zhao."

Chen Pingran mute. They really don’t make sense about the price comparison of gold, and the reason is obvious. People did not force them to accept the price comparison. They were unwilling to pay the food without gold, but they still paid with Wuzhu. The agreement signed by the two parties clearly stated that 50 million yuan, not 120,000 taels of gold.

However, it is clear that the truth is one thing, Chen Ping was still holding his breath and said, "The problem is that if we accept the gold price comparison they gave, we will not talk about the busy work in the past few months. We will have to pay 1.2 million stones of grain, 200,000 yuan plus 150,000 taels of gold, wouldn't it be a big loss!"

"That shouldn't be enough." Bai Mo shook his head and said thoughtfully. "The grain and 200 million yuan will probably be compensated. As for the compensation of 150,000 taels of gold, it may not be necessary. One tael of gold and one thousand coins are just the other party's asking price. It may not be the final bottom price. The so-called transaction is based on negotiation. Ming Japanese went to talk to them in person."

"Oh." Chen Ping shook his head and sighed, not saying anything more.

Bai Mo sighed lightly and said, "Before the Grand Master came back, I had been reflecting on the matter of food shortage in Guanzhong, we handled too hasty, and we also handled too urgently about setting up an official to specialize in salt and iron."

Chen Ping was stunned, Bai Mo was quite jumping in his words, and he didn't understand much at once.

Fortunately, Bai Mo immediately continued: "I wonder if the Grand Master had thought about it. When the Black Ice Platform checked the assets of those troublemakers, it was very different from the numbers they finally took out. This caught us off guard, so we were asked for help from Han and Zhao again, which attracted Feng and Guan, the two evil wolves."

"Yes." Chen Ping nodded, "I am also puzzled by this."

Bai Mo said: "But the original image seems to understand a little. Behind this matter, there must be a pusher from the State of Chu."

Chen Ping said: "The Prime Minister is saying that the money that the merchants suddenly had extra money lent to them by Chu State?"

Bai Mo nodded and said with concern: "So, this time, we lost more than energy and food, but also the loyalty of these merchants. Xiang Zhuang has reached into Guanzhong. He wants to control these merchants through lending and use them for the State of Chu. We have personally pushed these merchants into the arms of Chu."

Chen Ping immediately understood the whole story of the matter by Bai Mo's point and said, "So, Feng and Guan may have the Chu State's pusher behind him, so they must not be transported out of Guanzhong!"

"But we have no evidence." Bai Mo spread his hands and shook his head and said, "By you and I guess, will King Han and King Zhao believe it? Besides, even if King Han and King Zhao know that Feng Ji and Guan Zhong have collusion with Chu State, they may not necessarily interfere. After this incident, the prime minister finally understood that the word "profit" has no less lethality than that of 100,000 soldiers!"

Bai Mo's worries are not unreasonable. As long as Feng Ji and Guan Zhong do not do things that are not conducive to Han and Zhao, even if King Han and King Zhao know that they have secretly colluded with Chu, they will never touch them. For example, in this food crisis in Guanzhong, King Han and King Zhao have not been sheltering and condoning Feng and Guan families.

Disputes between countries have never been so absolute and so simple.

Chen Ping was silent. Considering the attitudes of Zhao and South Korea, they really could not use strength at will. Otherwise, the Lianheng alliance that was formed after a long time would easily be dismantled by Chu. If the support of the Lianheng alliance was lost, with the current national strength and military strength of the Han State, they would not be a match for Chu at all.

Chen Ping said now: "Then, the Prime Minister is planning to cancel the official salt and iron camp?"

"Yes, the official salt and iron camp must be cancelled immediately, and the relationship with Guanzhong merchants must be repaired." Bai Mo nodded slightly and said sinisterly, "Xiang Zhuang did not hesitate to lend a huge amount of gold to control the huge merchants in Guanzhong. How could the original appearance be as he wished? In this battle, we lost, but we must not lose at the bottom!"

Chen Ping said: "Prime Minister, have you already had a counterattack?"

"No," Bai Mo said with a heavy head, "This time, I originally wanted to borrow a person with enough weight to do a big thing. No matter how bad it is, I would cut off Xiang Zhuang's black hand into Guanzhong."

#############

Luoyang, royal palace.

Xiang Zhuang Yangyang's secret letter was written in his hand, and Baili Xian said to Bishu, "Learn from the sword, Ziliang, things are done."

"Oh?" Bai Lixian asked, "Master, Bai Mozhen agreed to the price comparison of one or two gold coins?"

"This is not." Xiang Zhuang shook his head, "In the end, both sides would give in, one tael of gold and two thousand coins."

Bi Shu calculated for a moment with his fingers, and finally said with emotion: "Even if that's the case, we have made a lot of money this time. Guanzhong merchants, aristocratic families, wealthy families and honorary relatives lost 100 million yuan in the food sale. But after passing Bai Mo's hand, it flowed into our Great Chu's treasury in a blink of an eye. That's not all, Bai Mo even lost 200 million yuan in the Han Dynasty's treasury and 1.2 million stones of folk surplus grain from Guanzhong."

Xiang Zhuang smiled and said nothing. This is the huge lethality of manipulating the "exchange rate".

Before Xiangzhuang traveled through time, the United States always used this magical artifact with amazing lethality, and it was invincible. No matter what the small shrimps and American countries in Southeast Asia, Japan or the European Union, they could not resist. Even the flower planter with amazing defense, they would suffer losses under Uncle Sam's magical artifact.

Compared with the United States in later generations, Xiang Zhuang's methods were similar to those of children playing house at this time, but with the strong industrial and commercial foundation of Chu, it was more than enough to use this trick to deal with Bai Mo who had no experience in finance. Of course, there was only one good thing, and it would be difficult to do the same trick again next time.

Bailixian suddenly said, "I remember the king once said that with the help of this food crisis in Guanzhong, three goals must be achieved. One is to loot the grain and money in Guanzhong, the second is to control the giant merchants and merchants in Guanzhong through loans, and the third is to loot the grain in Taicang of South Korea and Zhao. It seems that only the first two have been achieved now?"

Indeed, the wealth of the people in Guanzhong has now flowed into the state treasury of Chu. Although this amount of money seems insignificant compared to the total treasury of Chu, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. No matter what, it is 100,000 yuan, equivalent to 250,000 taels of gold. However, it seems that there is no way to talk about the food of the two countries of Korea and Zhao?

As for controlling Guanzhong merchants through lending, it cannot be achieved overnight.

"Yes?" Bi Shu said, "The Han State returned it to South Korea, and the 800,000 stones of grain from Zhao State seemed to be transported to Puyang with Feng and Guan's grain transport fleets, right? Is the king planning to send a condemnation army to intercept the river?"

"Of course this is not possible." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Han and South Korea have set up dozens of iron chains on the water surface of the river (Yellow River) and built more than a dozen water camps. They are step by step and set up defenses at each level. What they are guarding is our naval army, so it is impossible to block the river and intercept it."

Baili Xian said: "Then I don't understand. How can I get these 800,000 stones?"

"That's not simple, just spend money to buy it." Xiang Zhuang smiled, "Didn't you rob 200,000 taels of gold from Guanzhong this time? You might as well take out 20,000 to buy 800,000 stones of grain from South Korea and Zhao."

"Buy 800,000 s of grain with 200,000 gold, the price is not low." Bi Shu said, "The problem is that Han Xin and Zhang Ao may not sell it, right? This is the reserve grain of Taicang in both countries after all."

"They will sell it." Xiang Zhuang smiled, "Because Han Xin and Zhang Ao are short of gold!"

Seeing Bishu, Bailixian still had some problems. Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "Learn from the sword, Ziliang, I won't hide it from you. I have already asked Qi Mai to go to Handan and Anyi to go to secretly move. Han Xin and Zhang Ao want to buy war horses from the Northern Diao Kingdom, then he must exchange food for gold, because Qi Mai does not recognize Wuzhu coins, he only recognizes gold."

Baili Xian, Bi Shu suddenly realized that the king had been waiting for them here.

Then Baili Xian exchanged another look with Bi Shu. Both of them saw a hint of admiration in each other's eyes, thinking that the king not only used wars like a god, but also had extraordinary political and political talents, but also had extraordinary talents in economics. Under this series of fierce attacks, if Han, Han and Zhao could withstand it, then there would be a ghost.
