When discussing this matter with them, Li Qing always expressed his opinion to them, that is, the people's livelihood in the Tang Dynasty was even bigger than the sky. Once there was a problem with the people's livelihood, even if the king and his ministers played with it, it would be zero.

Li Yan's attitude was changed to that point, and Liu Yan, Zhang Xun and others naturally had to do their best.

Therefore, the big data plan quickly showed its prototype. Several teams of troops were selected by the Shangshu Province. A detailed survey of each prefecture and county must be conducted, and the kind of report was issued.

As for the content of the report, it is based on field investigations, official records, and private inquiries, to restore the annual grain prices and the amount of grain they need to harvest in the past few decades.

Compared with the disaster situation in this prefecture and county over the past few decades, the situation is basically clear at a glance.

After obtaining this data, according to Liu Yan, the region was divided into five categories according to the annual grain output of a region, and each category was priced by Li or their Shangshu Province. After that, the annual grain collection of each prefecture and county was carried out according to this guidance.

For example, the guide price is set to 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 respectively, and the monthly purchase volume is 500,000, 400,000, 300,000, 200,000, and 100,000, respectively.

After confirming these, when it is necessary to purchase grain, if the market price of grain in this prefecture and county is about 100-200 ci, the responsible official does not need to submit it to the Secretariat for approval. He can directly compare this table and charge 400,000 ci for 200 ci.

After such a wave of operations, it is equivalent to abolishing the intermediate decision-making process, which not only allows each prefecture to have a certain initiative and can adapt to various sudden changes relatively quickly, but also within the control of the Tang Dynasty.

In a sense, with this so-called guiding opinion, even if officials in various prefectures and counties are quite brave and deliberately raise the price to a level of three to four hundred, the price will be higher, and the food can be purchased will be less.

In this way, even if something happens, the losses of the Tang Dynasty treasury will be reduced accordingly. At the same time, the spot checks of the follow-up inspection teams are easy to find problems. Under this constraint, the space for local officials in various prefectures and counties to report prices randomly and the number of random reports to make profits from it is greatly limited.

This method has far exceeded Li N's previous ideas. He felt that to some extent, he really underestimated national soldiers like Liu Yan and Zhang Xun.

Once internal affairs are involved, the emperor, the emperor, cannot take on a big deal like he had fought before. Instead, he can only ask one question or explain what result he wants. The rest of the solution process will have to let Liu Yan and Zhang Xun and others come.

It was during this period that Li Qing deeply felt that if a dynasty wants to prosper, it would be impossible to have a reliable emperor alone, and he also had to be assisted by a group of capable and loyal people.

They gave Li Yan more than these surprises. In order to prevent the officials below from trying to find ways to greed for the food in the Mo Yi Cang, Liu Yan also came up with another trick. After all, the three of them had worked as officials in the counties below. It would be difficult not to attract the attention of some people if such a large piece of cake was placed here.

The method that Liu Yan came up with was another method proposed by someone in ancient times, called equalization and equalization.

Li Neng had never heard of this statement at the beginning, but after a few people explained it, he immediately understood the mystery.

According to this method, any grains purchased by the Tang Dynasty in the "Changping Warehouse" must be exchanged for local local products and handmade products of the same value before being handed over to Chang'an City after being sold.

For example, a prefecture and county purchased 1 million stones of grain. After he sold the 1 million stone of grain, it was not money that was handed over to Chang'an City, but local local products and handicrafts of the same value.

Li Yi, who had a lot of experience in reselling this in his previous life, immediately understood the secret.

This is actually the same as the matter of canal transportation. It is better to lose it than to block it. Instead of trying every means to prevent them from embezzling the grain in the charity warehouse, it is better to open an opening for them directly through official channels.

The price of grain is relatively tough, but the prices of local specialties in different places are different. It is possible for ten people to sell, but ten prices, and Chang'an City will neither recognize the highest price nor the lowest price.

If the officials who operate this matter are really smart people, they can hoard some local specialties at the lowest price. When they really want to hand it over to the Tang Dynasty, do you have some local specialties or some food left in your hands? That is all your own ability. Neither the emperor nor the Secretariat will care about you. What they want is local specialties that are of quality and quantity.

After these local specialties arrive in Chang'an City, the things needed by the imperial palace will naturally remain, and the rest can be sold to places where they can be sold through official channels, which is also a good thing for the Tang Dynasty's treasury.

After gathering my mind, even if this matter was settled, Li Yan did not leave it to Liu Yan, but to Xu Yuan to operate it.

Because this matter involves a lot of things and consumes a lot of manpower, it is only in line with the idea that Li Yan can do it with the most careful person in his heart.

Several new policies implemented in the short term perfectly linked the grain transportation, grain prices, and the rectification of officials from all over the country. Once you find that you have done too much in the process of calming the grain prices, you don’t have to go through Li Yan. Xu Yuan directly has the right to ask the Ministry of Personnel and Dali Temple to intervene in these matters, and to withdraw what should be evacuated and arrest what should be evacuated.

Before the patrol team in Chang'an City set off, Li Yan had ordered a public announcement to the people of the entire Tang Dynasty. Once the local charity warehouse had aroused public outrage, as soon as the patrol team arrived, as long as the registered Tang Dynasty people could report corrupt officials.

This suddenly, the impact among the people of the Tang Dynasty was greater than every policy before. Almost everyone who heard about this was applauding, as if the current Yicang had already changed its temper in their hearts.
