"Report ... The price of rice in Quanzhou is one hundred and eighty yuan. ”

"Report ... The price of rice in Quanzhou is one hundred and fifty dollars. ”

"Report ... The merchants of Quanzhou have begun to sell rice and grain. ”

"Report ... The price of rice in Quanzhou is one hundred and thirty yuan. ”

"Report ... Foreign merchants in various localities have begun to sell rice, grain, and other goods. ”

"Report ... The price of rice in Quanzhou is one hundred and ten dollars. ”

On a certain day in August of the first year of the reign of Song Jianzhong, all the granaries of the Quanzhou government on Fujian Road were opened, and all the rice and grain and other things were put into the market, and the prices of rice and grain in Quanzhou also fell in response, and the rate of decline far exceeded the speed of price increases.

To the surprise of Li Sanjian and others, the government opened a warehouse to release grain to stabilize the price of rice, and soon after, the Li family, the richest man in Quanzhou, also began to sell rice and grain, which caused the merchants in Quanzhou to also rush to sell, so that the price of rice and grain in Quanzhou fell faster.

At this time, the foreign merchants in Quanzhou could no longer hold on, and they began to sell one after another, and the price of rice in Quanzhou fell by more than one-third in one day.

The local traders in Quanzhou are better, after all, most of the rice and grain are purchased locally, and they are local traders, so they save a lot of transportation and storage costs. In addition to the cost of transportation, the daily storage and other expenses of foreign traders are not small, so for them, it is necessary to sell these rice grains as soon as possible.

At this time, the price of Quanzhou rice grain and other things plummeted, which exacerbated the situation, if it still insisted on not shooting, then maybe the Quanzhou grain sales will lose all their money.

It is almost impossible to sell the rice grain trafficked to Quanzhou in Quanzhou, or transport it to other places, or return by the same route, and it is also the next policy, because the price of rice and grain in other places or places of origin is not necessarily higher than that of Quanzhou; The second is to transport it to another place or return the same way, the loss on the way is also unpredictable, and even on the way back, you may encounter typhoons, hurricanes, etc., then people and money are empty, and major events will be gone; The third is that the navigation of manpower ships depends on the wind direction, tides, water currents, etc., the wind direction and water flow are wrong, it is simply difficult to move an inch, and the trip to Quanzhou is impossible to come and go.

Li Sanjian had considered these things in advance, so he boldly made this "perverse" move.

Therefore, at this time, the foreign businessmen are cursing the Quanzhou Prefecture and cursing the local merchants in Quanzhou, and at the same time, they are also desperately selling the rice and grain in their hands.

If you can't make it, as long as you don't lose money, you can admit that you don't lose much, at this time, all businessmen think so.

Of course, there are a few people who resist stubbornly, and the final result is that they lose all their money.

"Haha, Mr. Dongpo, it's really a famous teacher who produces a high apprentice, with you as a famous teacher, you can teach such a 'tricky and eccentric' disciple!"

When Li Sanjian issued the government order, Hu Wenhai and Su Shi were sitting in the state government, like two supervisors, staring at Li Sanjian with "tiger eyes"...

At this time, Hu Wenhai saw that Li Sanjian's strategy had worked wonders, and the price of rice in Quanzhou was plummeting, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Su Shi with a laugh.

"It's not surprising that people are picking up people's teeth!" Su Shi leaned back on the soft chair and smiled.

Although Su Shi said this, he actually admired Li Sanjian more.

Li Sanjian's move to "do the opposite" is not the first one.

In the second year of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, there was a great famine in Wuzhong, and the Song Liangzhejiang Road was also caused by natural disasters caused by famine, and the price of rice was also high at that time, and the starvation and death were all over each other. In order to stabilize grain prices, the government of various prefectures issued a reward in Qulu and forbade people to increase the price of rice. Although the price of rice has been controlled, there is not much rice to sell in the market, and the famine has not been alleviated.

After that, the price of rice still skyrocketed, and Fan Zhongyan, who was the governor of Hangzhou at that time, posted the list everywhere, and the government also bought rice grain on a large scale, and did not suppress the price of rice, deliberately raising the price of rice.

So the merchants from all over the country saw that it was profitable, so they organized grain ships to flock to it, and then the price of rice in Hangzhou fell in response, not only the price of rice fell, but the supply of grain in the market in Hangzhou was also extremely sufficient.

It should be said that this method of "doing the opposite" to stabilize the price of rice is extremely risky, and there are too many variables in it, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will "hit the chicken and the egg".

At the same time, if you adopt this method, you will be impeached, and you will be severely punished by the imperial court, the reason is that the rice and grain are shipped to your Quanzhou, which will cause a shortage of food in other places.

Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, there have basically only appeared twice, one is Fan Zhongyan's initiative, and the other is in the eighth year of Xining.

Li Sanjian's "Fan Gong's disaster relief strategy" was the third since the Song Dynasty, and at the same time, it also achieved immediate results, and the price of rice and grain in Quanzhou fell in response.

Su Shi has lived in officialdom for a long time and is familiar with history books, so of course he is familiar with this period of history. Book every day

What Su Shi didn't understand was how Li Sanjian knew about "Fan Gong's disaster relief strategy"? Could it be that after a few years, Li Sanjian's knowledge has progressed to such an extent?

Su Shi also sweated for Li Sanjian.

Li Sanjian is simply bold, Su Shi secretly said in his heart, or is he an ignorant and fearless?

"Jian'er, how did you know about the 'Fan Gong's disaster relief strategy'?" So Su Shi thought for a moment and asked Li Sanjian.

"'Fan Gong's disaster relief strategy'?" Hearing this, Li Sanjian asked in wonder: "Where does the disciple know what the 'Fan Gong Disaster Relief Strategy' is?" Please teach me! ”

What made Li Sanjian happiest about Su Shi's visit to Quanzhou this time was that Su Shi had acquiesced in Li Sanjian's return to the school, the reason was that since Li Sanjian saw Su Shi, he had always regarded himself as a disciple and called himself a disciple, and Su Shi did not object, which shows that Su Shi had acquiesced to Li Sanjian's return to the family.

And what worries Li Sanjian the most is Su Shi's body, in this regard, Li Sanjian has already ordered Uncle Xu to send the most powerful doctor to take care of Su Shi.

Li Sanjian originally planned to ask Xu Shuwei to come to take care of him personally, but Su Shi resolutely refused to allow it, because Xu Shuwei's most urgent thing at present was to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic in the disaster area.

In this regard, Li Sanjian respected Su Shi more and more, and he deserved to be a good official who was honest, diligent, and loved the people.

When Su Shi heard this, he simply described "Fan Gong's disaster relief strategy".

"Fan Gong is a great talent, the disciple is difficult to do!" Li Sanjian was taken aback when he heard this, and sighed again and again.

At this time, Li Sanjian sighed from the bottom of his heart, it is not surprising that Li Sanjian understands these truths, but as early as the second year of Huang You, Fan Zhongyan adopted this strategy, what is this? This is the use of market laws to relieve disasters, the wisdom of the ancients, so that Li Sanjian is sincerely admired and sighed.

"So, Li Hanren, you really don't know? So why are you doing this? Why does it coincide with Fan Gong? What the hell do you think? At this time, Hu Wenhai was also extremely curious, so he asked.

"Teacher, Hu Ti Xing!" After Li Sanjian bowed his hand when he heard this, he stretched out his right hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

Su Shi and Hu Wenhai rolled their eyes together when they heard this... Don't they know what it is? This is the hand, or the claw... This kid likes to sell off.。。。 The two of them secretly said in their hearts together.

"This is the hand!" Li Sanjian also felt a little embarrassed to sell Guanzi in front of the two master-level people, so he hurriedly said honestly: "The student is currently in the position of Quanzhou Zhizhou, so the student's hand can forcibly suppress Quanzhou, that is to say, the student can take some tough measures to control the price of rice in Quanzhou and stabilize the price of Quanzhou." ”

"But!" Li Sanjian paused for a moment and then said: "But in addition to the student's hand, there is also a hand, which is not a human hand, so let's call it the 'hand of the city'." ”

"The 'hand of the market' is the hand of the market, right?" Su Shi asked.

"What the teacher said is very true!" Li Sanjian nodded and said: "The 'hand of the market' can regulate the market price, 'oversupply', the price will fall, on the contrary, 'supply exceeds demand', the price will rise." Students believe that the 'hand of the city' must be respected and used, but not violated. If you violate the 'hand of the city', you will inevitably be severely punished by the 'hand of the city'! ”

"'Oversupply', 'Undersupply'?" Hu Wenhai praised when he heard this: "Li Hanren is worthy of being the champion and the first, and he really has a strategy, so you deliberately put up a list everywhere to increase the price of rice from the government, so that Quanzhou grain ships gather, and the price of rice will naturally fall?" Li Hanren, the old man has opened his eyes today, and at the same time, the 'hand of the city' you said hasn't been finished, right? The old man wants to continue to hear it today, I wonder if Li Hanren can continue to tell me? The old man listened attentively. ”

"This... This is a long story, and I can only briefly talk about it today. ”

So Li Sanjian briefly explained the matter of the 'hand of the city'.

What Li Sanjian said, Su Shi, Hu Wenhai and others did not think about it before, and some things have even been done, but no one has ever summarized it as simply but systematically as Li Sanjian.

Of course, Su Shi and Hu Wenhai have never thought about some theories, nor have they done them.

Li Sanjian said as he spoke, and his face couldn't help but show a smug look.

"Son!" At this time, Su Shi saw Li Sanjian's complacent appearance, so he said angrily: "Just a little trick, do you get carried away?" Do you know that you have made a big mistake, and do you know how to deal with the aftermath? ”

Su Shi was suddenly furious and couldn't help coughing violently.

"The disciple knows the mistake, the disciple knows the mistake, the teacher calms the anger, take care of the body." Hearing this, Li Sanjian hurriedly admitted his mistake again and again, and walked over to support Su Shi.

What was my fault? Having said that, at this time, Li Sanjian still didn't understand what was wrong...
