023, small story, big truth

Just what kind of excuse should I come up with?

Chen Yuezhi is a little nerve-wracking, she doesn't dare to say directly, next year's cotton production base will be flooded, the national cotton output is the lowest in history since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the cotton price is naturally the highest in history.

In that case, Chen Wei didn't beat her to death as a monster.

Suddenly, a few words on the page jumped into her eyes: supply and demand, macro control!

She closed the book again, and the word "政zhì" made her smile slightly.

Pregnant!

She was overjoyed and immediately had an idea.

"Dad, I was at school today, listening to Teacher Zhengzhì, and told an interesting story, I want to tell you about it."

Chen Wei stopped the straw rope in his hand, picked up the porcelain jar next to him, took a sip of tea, and said, "Okay, you say." ”

Chen Yuezhi sorted out his thoughts in his heart, and said slowly: "There is a merchant who wants to buy a hundred catties of soybeans, he came to a village, everyone in this village grows soybeans, at least a thousand catties, and everyone wants to sell them to him, because no one wants to rot the soybeans in their hands.

At this time, the price of soybeans in the market was two yuan a catty, and the merchants bought them at the original price, but they could only buy five of them, and the soybeans of the other five could not be sold.

There are ten in the village, and the merchant does not limit which five, saying that he wants to compare and see whose soybean grains are big and full, grow well, and have good quality.

Then the other eliminated people thought of a way, they lowered the purchase price, the businessman thought, this is not bad, so he decided to ask for it, but you will lower, I will also lower, so everyone has followed suit.

This said, then I only need a piece of seven, and the other said, I only need a piece of five, and in the end, the price of soybeans fell to five cents a catty.

Everyone didn't want to sell, they thought it was too cheap, at this time the merchant saw it, everyone begged him, deliberately said that you like to sell or not, anyway, I can go somewhere else to buy, people may give me four cents, so everyone can only sell the soybeans at the price of five cents. ”

When Chen Yuezhi said this, he deliberately paused, Li Qingxia reacted relatively quickly, her brain was flexible, and she suddenly thought of the reason: "People only need 100 catties, but they have 1,000 catties, and they all want to sell it, so the price must be low, who makes more soybeans." ”

Chen Yuezhi glanced at her mother with admiration, and saw that her father seemed to be thoughtful, so she didn't interrupt him, but continued: "After the businessman left, everyone regretted it and decided not to plant soybeans again next year.

So they decided to plant sesame seeds next year, and they heard that sesame seeds cost five yuan a catty, so everyone planted sesame seeds one after another.

Only one family was too poor to buy sesame seeds, and seeing that there were still a lot of soybeans at home, they simply continued to grow soybeans. But when their family planted soybeans, they were ridiculed by the villagers, saying that they were stupid and threw the money into the water, but they couldn't help it.

The following year, due to the weather, soybeans across the country failed to harvest, and the purchase price of soybeans rose from the original two to six and a half.

The merchant suddenly thought that the soybeans in this village were cheap, so he hurriedly came, but unexpectedly, another merchant also came, and there were two merchants who came to buy soybeans.

As a result, they found that there was only one family in the village that grew soybeans, and the soybean yield was not too much, only 200 catties.

The two businessmen needed these two hundred catties of soybeans, so they had to find a way, and the family said, whoever pays the highest price, I will give it to whomever it is.

So the price of soybeans rose from five cents a pound all the way to six yuan a pound, and finally another businessman felt that if it continued to rise, there was no money to be made, so he gave up automatically.

The family's 200 catties of soybeans not only did not lose their capital, but made a lot of money, and the other villagers regretted it when they saw it. ”

Fu Guihua also listened carefully and said: "There are few monks and many porridges, and that porridge must be rare." ”

Chen Yuezhi knows that in fact, everyone understands the truth when he really says it, but sometimes he is easily confused by the illusion in front of him.

"Grandma is right, the first time, there were many soybeans, and there were few people to buy, and at this time, the supply exceeded demand, so the price of soybeans fell all the way down;

The second time, there were fewer soybeans and more people buying, at this time, the supply was less than the demand, that is, the supply was in short supply, and the price of soybeans naturally soared.

I think it's very interesting, so I'm telling you about it today. ”

Chen Yuezhi deliberately added this sentence, just to sue everyone, this is not something she came up with by herself, she is not so demonic, this is what the teacher said, she is just a parrot.

Chen Wei raised his head at this time, looked at his little daughter seriously, and said after a long silence: "Ah Yue means that the price of cotton this year is very low, and that is because everyone has planted cotton, and this year's rain is good and the cotton harvest is abundant, so the price will be low."

And next year, the price of cotton may rise, because this year is too low, many people will not plant, and then the total amount of cotton will be reduced, then the price will increase accordingly? ”

"Dad, you're so amazing, it's exactly the same as what our political teacher said. Our teacher also planted cotton at home, and he also decided to continue planting next year, and he would be able to get this year's money back. ”

Chen Yuezhi hurriedly patted her ass, in fact, the relationship between supply and demand is the content of the next semester, where will the teacher teach now, she is just using this as an excuse.

Most of the people in the countryside have a kind of awe-inspiring admiration for the teacher, which is respect and awe for knowledge, and feel that they know everything, so Chen Yuezhi said this, and they also believed it, and they did not doubt it, let alone go to the teacher to confirm.

Li Qingxia also reacted at this time: "Girl, what do you mean, we will continue to grow cotton next year?" ”

Chen Yuezhi naturally couldn't say lightly that there would be a flood in the cotton production base next year, so he rolled his eyes and said: "Dad, I listened to our political teacher today, and I also said a word, called Hongguan control.

In our local dialect, it means that in order to ensure the income of farmers, the state will not let the price of crops remain very low. If the price of something is too high, the state will find a way to expand production and stabilize its price.

If the price of something is too low, the state will use a compensation policy to encourage production, otherwise rice, cotton, grain and oil will always be so low, and the income will not be able to make ends meet, who wants to farm? The peasants are no longer farming, what do the workers and leaders eat, drink, and wear? ”
