Chapter 303 Zhu Xi: Mr. Lin, the gentle and gentle man, can he still come up with evil strategies?   Hearing the word economy, Zhu Yuanzhang and Fu Youwen in the secret room couldn't help but look at each other and smile. Zhu Biao also showed admiration for Daming, the money bag. He thought he had indeed learned Lin Che's true biography of economics. Otherwise, how could he have guessed Lin Che's plan to deal with Gao Li so accurately. Lin Che in the room didn't know what everyone in the secret room next door was thinking. He also cited Guan Zhong's economic warfare as an example. He also proposed the strategy of buying Korean ginseng at high prices and selling grain to Korea at low prices. The whole strategy is exactly the same as what Fu Youwen had just thought. However, Lin Che added a few points later: "The Ming court must not be directly involved in the acquisition of Korean ginseng." "Instead, rumors should be released, such as that Korean ginseng nourishes the kidneys, and then the palace will increase its acquisition efforts."

"The price of Korean ginseng is bound to skyrocket, and merchants from the Ming Dynasty will naturally take the initiative to cross the sea to buy ginseng from the Koreans." As long as this matter is turned into a spontaneous act among the people of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court only needs to secretly control the price at which merchants buy Korean ginseng. When the time comes, all it takes is one or two agents to stabilize the market for buying ginseng at high prices. "Sir, what should I do with the food?" Zhu Xi noticed that there seemed to be flaws in Lin Che's plan. He asked cautiously: "Now my Ming Dynasty is not rich in food." "And the country of Goryeo has a large population. If Guan Zhong is like Guan Zhong, he sells low-priced grain to Goryeo." "By then, if their economy does not collapse, Ming Dynasty will have a food shortage." Unlike the Spring and Autumn Period, the population of each vassal state was no more than one million at most. The population of Goryeo now exceeds tens of millions. Although the Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, its population was even larger. In the absence of large-scale promotion of chemical fertilizers. The food grown can barely be eaten by oneself. It is really impossible to replicate Guan Zhong's economic war in Goryeo. Lin Che looked at Zhu Xi's worried expression. He couldn't help laughing: "To implement this strategy, Ming Dynasty doesn't need to provide its own food at all." Everyone in Zhu Meng was stunned. You know, low-priced food is a key part of the economic war.

If the Ming Dynasty could not stably provide the people of Goryeo with food that was lower than their farming costs. So no matter how high the price of Korean ginseng is. It was impossible for the people of Goryeo to abandon their fields to dig ginseng and sell it for money, risking their entire family to starve to death. As a result, the strategy of fundamentally destroying Goryeo's economic ecology will no longer be implemented. However, Lin Che seemed to have never thought about using Ming's food to fight an economic war with Goryeo. Zhu Cang was not the only one who was puzzled by this. Fu Youwen, who was in the secret room, had also frowned into the character "Sichuan". He had been proud for a long time just now because he and Lin Che had come up with the same strategy. I think I have learned the true biography of Lin Che’s economics. However, after hearing Zhu Xi point out, the biggest loophole in the economic war. Lin Che said that this matter was just a minor issue. The pride on Fu Youwen's eyebrows turned into incomprehensible embarrassment. Because he simply couldn't figure out how to solve this almost unsolvable food problem. And in the midst of everyone's expectations. Lin Che slowly revealed the answer while drinking a small drink. "Before launching the economic war against Goryeo, in the name of disaster relief, Ming Dynasty grain must be banned from leaving the country. Violators will be beheaded directly." "Secondly, let the envoys placed in the merchants buy all the grain in the Korean market first." "Then when purchasing Korean ginseng, we sell them low-priced grains in a certain proportion based on the seller's family size." Although Lin Che's plan hasn't been finished yet.     But Zhu Xi was already in awe of his husband's admiration. He never thought that there was a way to disrupt the Korean market by using Korean food. Unexpectedly, Zhu Bai asked doubtfully: "Sir, if you buy grain from the Koreans on a large scale, their grain prices will inevitably rise." "At that time, there will definitely be people who are greedy for the high price of food and will take advantage of others to farm their own fields." "In this way, won't the land of Goryeo never be abandoned?" People who care about immediate interests have people who have a long-term vision. This kind of thing has nothing to do with ethnic group, it is purely human instinct. There must be knowledgeable people in Goryeo. Because of the rise in food prices, the idea of ​​taking over other people's abandoned fields and planting them full of food came into being.

"You can't even think about such a simple thing in general terms." Zhu Cang didn't wait for Lin Che's answer before giving Zhu Bai another headache. He said proudly: "For people like this who disrupt our plans for the Ming Dynasty, just ask the people from the Duwei Mansion to send his whole family to heaven." "As long as they kill enough, smart people like them won't think about growing food to make money." Zhu Bai was stunned and looked at Zhu Ping who was talking endlessly. Unexpectedly, the problem that had troubled him for a long time actually had such a simple solution. However, Zhu Bai always felt that doing so would leave hidden dangers. But because of my age, I can't figure out what the problem is. He could only look at Lin Che for help. "You kid, don't always think about using force to defeat skill." Lin Che was so angry that she gave Zhu Ping a headache. He tapped the table with his index finger: "If we are going to go on a killing spree in Goryeo, then why should we use tricks?" "The best way to deal with such a knowledgeable person is to portray him as a villain who prevents the people of Goryeo from making money." In this day and age, farming is a labor-intensive task. If someone in Goryeo wants to make a fortune from farming during the economic war. Then many people will inevitably have to watch other people dig ginseng to make money. And they can only be tied to the land, reluctantly growing food for the masters. As long as during this period, a few lucky people who dig centuries-old or thousand-year-old ginseng can make a fortune. There is no need for Ming Dynasty to send people to bribe and instigate. Many people were forcibly bound to the land by the Goryeo gentry. They will pick up a hoe and smash to death these guys who are blocking them from getting rich. There is no need for Lin Che to explain in detail how to cause conflicts between the people of Goryeo and the far-sighted gentry of Goryeo. Zhu Xiang had almost finished thinking about it. Dare to be in this economic war. The fate of the Goryeo gentry was to use the mantis as a chariot. Zhu Xi did not expect that Lin Che, who was usually gentle and elegant, would come up with such a vicious strategy. If Goryeo died because of this. There will be people in the future who will laugh at them until they die.

However, Zhu Xi suddenly thought of it. The strategy Lin Che mentioned could only bring chaos to the world in Goryeo. It is completely unable to reach the point where he just said that he would let the other party give away the country and thank Ming at the same time. "The above is just the prelude to the plan." Lin Che noticed Zhu Ming's serious doubts and explained with a smile. Then he asked a question: "Who came up with the answer to the first assignment I gave you a few days ago?" (End of this chapter)
