"Men!"
Du Qi ordered.
Immediately, a servant entered and stood in the hall.
Du Qi ordered, "Go and inform Luo Binwang to come here."
"Yes!"
The servant immediately turned and left to pass on the order.
Soon, Luo Binwang entered the hall. After bowing to Du Qi, he nodded to Jin Wuque.
Luo Binwang said, "Your Majesty, why have you summoned me?"
Du Qi said in a low voice, "Jin Wuque just said that he received news that many grain merchants have appeared in the Xia Xia. They are transporting grain to sell and lowering the price of grain."
"Jin Wuque deduced that the other party is most likely trying to lower the price of grain first before buying it in large quantities. After all, the fact that the other party is sending food here is actually more of a gimmick and a deliberate show of strength. "
"This way, they can buy at a low price and sell in large quantities at a high price."
"This matter can be big or small."
"If the other party isn't trying to raise the price of grain or hoard grain to cause trouble, it won't be a big deal."
"The problem is that as long as the other party has ulterior motives and intends to increase the price of grain, the price of grain in the Xia Xia will definitely be affected. We have to be careful and even careful."
Du Qi said in a low voice, "You are now the Minister of Personnel and the head of the six ministries. You should know about this matter and make arrangements."
Luo Binwang had never been the Minister of Personnel before.
After Jin Wuque arrived and became the Minister of Revenue, Du Qi decided to make Luo Binwang the Minister of Personnel.
As for Liu Che, he was now the Minister of War.
The other positions were temporarily vacant.
He didn't fill them directly.
After all, this involved important positions and couldn't be sloppy. He could keep them, but he couldn't let them pass off as genuine.
After hearing this, Luo Binwang's expression gradually became serious.
He wasn't someone who didn't know about government affairs.
He had been by Du Qi's side for quite some time. Through dealing with government affairs, Luo Binwang had gradually become more familiar with them and his methods were becoming more mature.
Luo Binwang's eyes were sharp as he said, "Your Majesty, since someone is trying to sell grain, does this mean that there are other forces interfering with our Xia Xia? After all, grain was the foundation. Once a large amount of grain was bought and sold at a high price, it would disrupt the market. The whole Xia Xia will be plunged into chaos. "
Jin Wuque agreed and said, "We can't rule out this possibility. After all, it's very likely that this is the case. This kind of thing can't be ignored, so I immediately came to report to the king. "
Luo Binwang said seriously, "We have to deal with this matter. We also have to arrange for people to gather information. In my opinion, Minister Jin will be responsible for it. Then, I will arrange for the dispatch of local officials, as well as the transfer of people for investigation. In short, let's work together to settle this matter. "
Jin Wuque, on the other hand, was an extremely shrewd and ruthless person. After all, he was someone who had served as the Imperial Censor of the Censorate.
He was no longer a young man.
Jin Wuque said, "My king, I believe that there is no need to mobilize the officials."
Luo Binwang raised his eyebrows.
He was a little surprised.
For a moment, he didn't understand how Jin Wuque was going to handle this matter. After all, the current situation was quite complicated. Under such circumstances, if there was no need to mobilize the officials, what should they do?
Du Qi smiled and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Jin Wuque said, "Since the other party has spread the rumor, a large amount of grain will be sent to various places in the Xia Xia. In fact, they have already started to send large amounts of grain into the Xia Xia region to push down the price of grain.
"We just need to mobilize the army immediately, or even mobilize the spies that we have planted in various places to take these people down and interrogate them in secret. This matter may seem complicated, but in reality, we are the rulers. Why do we have to do things by the book?
"For this kind of thing, we just have to do it according to our own pace. If we do it according to the other party's pace, once the price of grain rises, it will be disadvantageous to us. So, we might as well take these people down quickly and interrogate them first. "
Jin Wuque said, "This is my suggestion. My king, please make a decision."
After hearing this, Luo Binwang raised his eyebrows, looking very surprised.
Amazing!
Really amazing!
The older the ginger, the spicier it was.
According to Jin Wuque's plan, it was simply a barbaric method.
You want to disrupt the grain market, but the problem is, if I take you down directly, let's see how you are going to operate.
As long as I find out the problem, I will deal with it.
Du Qi stroked He Xu and smiled. "Luo Binwang, cooperate with Jin Wuque fully. This time, we will go according to his plan. Mobilize our people and take them down! "
"Yes!"
Luo Binwang replied immediately.
Jin Wuque said, "Minister Luo, I will have to trouble you."
Luo Binwang said, "Minister Jin is too polite. This time, to be able to work with Minister Jin is also an opportunity for me."
In his heart, he was very impressed with Jin Wuque.
He was indeed someone who had followed Du Qi for a long time. His methods were not ordinary.
Du Qi waved his hand and the two of them turned and left.
They went to deal with the matter of the grain market.
After Jin Wuque and Luo Binwang left the palace, the two of them went to the office and sat down.
Jin Wuque said, "Minister Luo, since we are going to capture the other party this time, we have to act as a team. My idea is that all the counties in the Xia Xia will act at the same time. We cannot alert the enemy in advance. Now that we have arranged for people to spread the news and travel 800 miles at top speed, all the counties will receive the news in at most three days. Then, we will start to take them down. "
Luo Binwang said, "I agree with Minister Jin's idea. But after we take them down, should we interrogate them on the spot? Or should we bring them to Pan Du County? "
Jin Wuque said, "Of course, we will interrogate them on the spot and bring them to Pan Du County. This time, the matter is very serious. Especially since I think that it might involve other powers. We have to figure out who is behind this so that we can react accordingly. Maybe soon, there will be another war. "
Luo Binwang said, "Minister Jin is right."
Luo Binwang agreed with Jin Wuque's arrangement.
Luo Binwang said again, "And the most important thing is that once we capture these people. Let's say that these people are from other countries. After we capture them, the other party's spies will spread the news that we are capturing merchants and purposely targeting them. Once this news spreads, it will affect the development of business and also Xia Xia's reputation. How do we explain this? "
Jin Wuque smiled and said, "This is actually very simple. We just need to announce to the public that these people are purposely disrupting the market and are sent by other countries to create trouble and subvert Xia Xia. We can even fish and let the other party know when we capture them. Then, we will send people to spy on them. Once they jump out, we will capture them directly. "
"Brilliant!"
Luo Binwang's eyes lit up.
He gave a thumbs up and praised, "Minister Jin's plan is really ingenious. Capture them first, then fish for them. In this way, we can clean up a batch of spies in Xia Xia's territory. These spies from other countries, even if we clean them up regularly, we can't completely eliminate them. They will continue to sneak in. "
Jin Wuque said, "This is normal. To us, this is a matter of endurance."
Luo Binwang nodded.
The two of them continued to discuss the follow-up matters. Then, Luo Binwang went to arrange the tasks.
He arranged everything.
