The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Jiajing and all the ministers thought that if there is no grain, they can go shopping. Anyway, there are so many grains in foreign countries, and the price of grain is not expensive.

Even if there is a famine in Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry about food.

"No!" Wang Jiaping said helplessly: "It is precisely because they want to live that they would rather offend me, Daming, and risk being punished by my Daming, and they can no longer sell us food. Because..."

He sighed and said, "In this world, apart from myself, there is no country that can feed my 1.6 million people!"

"..." Jiajing and the ministers understood in seconds.

You Ming has a population of 1.6 million, which country can produce so much food?

Today, Japan has only tens of millions of people, while Annan has only a few million people.

The food they produce, even if they are rich, is not too much, and can be sold to Daming.

Today, the north of the Ming Dynasty is almost unable to produce food at all, and they keep eating their food...

Can they handle it?

Wang Jiaping said in a deep voice: "According to the information received by the Shibo Department, the result is not optimistic. Annan's grain storage, plus their old grain from previous years, is only more than 2 million catties, and Japan's grain in the Warring States period is even less, only more than 1 million catties , are still distributed in the hands of the daimyo. Not to mention the country of Koryo, which itself is short of food, and now it is annexed by our Ming Dynasty, and it needs to ask us for food in turn. Southeast Asian countries, counting Siam, Luzon and other places, are full of money and can be sold The grain that was given to me in Ming Dynasty is only 3 million catties. Calculated in this way, even if my Ming Dynasty is full of gold and silver mountains, it will not be able to buy enough grain for the people of the whole country to eat for a year!"

···········

Speak with numbers.

Wang Jiaping deserves to be the appearance of the future prime minister. What he said was well-founded and calm, but each point was backed up by numbers, so that those conservative landlord officials who only knew how to shout slogans, draw cakes to satisfy their hunger, and replace food with ideals, one by one Powerless to refute.

Lin Run still had a stomach full of questions to question Wang Jiaping, but faced with Wang Jiaping's pile of numbers, he was completely dumbfounded.

........

Nima, what if I am a liberal arts student?

I just want to talk to you about language, but you want to talk about economics with me?Customs figures?

Jiajing didn't even look at Lin Run at this time, his attention was completely distracted by the scary numbers Wang Jiaping proposed.

Jiajing said solemnly: "Wang Aiqing, what you said is true? Japan, Annan, and Southeast Asian countries can provide me with only 5 to 6 million catties of food in total. The demand in the north of my country is at most It can only last for 7 or 8 months?"

Wang Jiaping sighed and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I am worried that even this number cannot be guaranteed. Because these countries cannot sell all the grain to us. To a certain extent, their rulers, in order to protect themselves, It will definitely announce a ban on the sale of grain. In the most optimistic scenario, our Ming Dynasty can only survive the disaster for half a year."

Jiajing was silent.

Half a year.

In other words, after half a year, no matter how much Daming saves, he will starve?

Lin Run has been completely ignored by him, and it has been occupied for a long time, the wind is messy...

Hey, do you want to discriminate against us liberal arts students like this?

I don't want to lose face?

But he looked at the emperor's eyes, and didn't intend to listen to his nonsense at all, so he retreated in embarrassment.

Chapter 1778 Kill the Yan thief and sacrifice to the sky! 【1】

Wang Jiaping ko Lin Run, landlord conservative forces lost again.

There is only one Donglin party Li Sancai left.

Li Sancai gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, even if the natural disaster is so serious, it is because the villain is in the court, and God uses natural disasters to warn the owner. As long as the owner is a good minister, far away from the villain, and responds to the warning from the sky, the heaven will naturally Retreating from such a bitter cold and natural disaster, let our Daming recover. My Daming's disaster can naturally be resolved."

When Jiajing heard this, his face turned cold.

Yan Song almost cried out from laughter.

This Li Sancai is indeed talented.

His subordinates Wang Yongji and Lin Run used to criticize him from the minutiae, how good this one is.

He directly chose to attack his own personality!

According to the feudal superstition at that time, the severe "two five three" natural disasters were all warnings from heaven to the emperor.

Or, it is to warn the emperor that you should be a good man.

Or, it is to warn the emperor that you will appoint a traitor.

In short, it is the emperor, you have to reflect, someone must take the blame.

The ingenuity of Li Sancai's idea lies in the fact that he directly attacked the cause of the natural disaster-the traitor, that is, Yan Song.

As long as Yan Song falls, natural disasters will be lifted naturally, then what will be needed to buy food and emigrate overseas?

Li Sancai was also impatient, and actually wanted to directly attack Yan Song and bring Yan Song down.

He eloquently said: "Your Majesty, the so-called emigration and purchase of food is to fight the fire with salary, to stop the soup from boiling, and to chase after the bottom! How can we draw the fire from the bottom of the pot to stop the soup from boiling?"

"Ha~~" Yan Song suddenly laughed.

All the officials looked at Yan Song in unison.

Yan Song Shiran appeared on the stage, saluted Jiajing, and then looked at Li Sancai: "Master Li, if you have something to say, you may as well speak up. Who is this Yang Tang Zhibo talking about? Who is going to be taken away?"

Li Sancai and Yan Song looked at each other, feeling guilty.

In the past, Yan Song's political enemies were everywhere.
