Chapter 334: Sophistry
Wang Lu echoed, "There is a shortage of food, food is expensive and cheap, no one dares to come out, only the government opens a warehouse, and it will not help." ”
Chen Xiaoyi bowed his head, obviously he was also extremely embarrassed, food prices have been high for six or seven years, but to the point where they are now, it can really be said that there is nothing in a hundred years.
He felt that there was only one way, "For the sake of today, I'm afraid I can only wait for the autumn......"
In fact, what they are talking about is the free trade of grain, and they are all doing the kind of government control, so they don't need to mention it.
Grain prices are flat, only government control is not a long-term solution, the place is small, and when the three counties are in their own affairs, they all have to do it, and Li Po did it more thoroughly in Yunnei.
But the place is big and the population is large, so there will be nothing to do in a short time, but after a long time, the only thing that is uncomfortable is the government.
There is no non-governmental food supplement, and only the government buys and sells, which requires not only the government to have enough food and officials to be honest and self-controlled, but also to consume countless manpower and material resources of the government.
Moreover, it is necessary to raise soldiers, which is the point, in normal times, there are not so many standing soldiers, and the government is naturally a lot easier, but now the world is in chaos, and there are many people who support the army and respect themselves.
If you dare to release your soldiers into the field, others will eat you alive.
As a result, the pressure on the government is even heavier, and the meaning hidden in the words of several people is that it is necessary to let the money circulate, rather than forcing the government to press down food prices as it is now.
Actually, the problem is still focused on one point, the lack of food.
Yes, the grain transported from Youzhou allows the people of the three counties to live, but it cannot be abused, let alone open warehouses and release grain regardless of the righteousness army. They are to plan for the future, for the future.
Li Po obviously wanted to be simple here, and after pondering for a long time, he figured out what a few people were talking about.
It's not that he's stupid, it's that soldiers and officials are two creatures, and he wants to fully adapt to the role of the head of the march in Daizhou. It will take more time and more effort to get there.
The sequelae of his sudden ascension to a high position are not obvious to him, but they always bother him.
Li Po twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time, but he didn't speak easily, he sensitively felt that it was not a good thing to show timidity at this time.
And it seemed to him that the rather bastard guys were staring at him as if they were reading a joke.
In fact, at this time he was dominant. Isn't the role of the backbone of the heart that can only be reflected when you are in trouble?
And these people also think that since you raised this matter, you must have a good plan, because the expectations were relatively high before, and it is inevitable that there will be greater hopes in your hearts at this time.
Li Po's brain was running wildly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were thousands of things in it. It still needs to be done in the long run, but now let a few more people come up with ideas. He himself felt that something was very wrong.
He's just shooting himself in the foot.
Yes, what he wanted to say before and what several people are talking about now are completely different things, and being able to figure this out has actually proved that he is very smart.
Long. Seeing that he didn't speak, the corners of Chen Xiaoyi's mouth twitched slightly, he has the deepest experience here, and he has already understood it a little.
After a while, Wang Lu lowered his head. I kind of want to laugh.
After another moment, Su Yan was stunned, twisted his neck stiffly, and looked away with his eyes.
Only Wen Yanbo tightened his face, looked at Li Po, and stopped talking.
Seeing the strange appearance of these people, Li Poyi gritted his teeth, saying that he couldn't drop the chain at this time.
He also lacks a sense of the big picture, but he always has a lot of ideas.
So he glanced at a few people with disdain, and said magnificently, "This matter is easy to ......."
A few people were in high spirits at that time, no matter what they thought in their hearts, but now as long as they can stabilize the price of grain, they don't have to be as cheap as in the time of Emperor Wen, two or three times higher, four or five times higher, and the people can bear it.
Once food prices are stabilized, the situation will be completely different, and many problems will be solved.
The three counties said that there were no big families anymore, but in fact, it was just that those big ethnic groups that were famous in the north were under the Turks for many years, and their reputation gradually faded.
As long as the price of grain comes down, these people will take out their stored grain to buy and sell, and after the autumn harvest, the three counties of Daizhou will not say that they are solid, I am afraid that they will also be able to become iron buckets.
Li Po rolled his eyes, with a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, and those who understood his heart must understand that he was in an extremely bad mood at this time.
"Grain is expensive and cheap, just say that, the money is there, and the grain is still enough, but there has been a shortage of grain for a long time, and people think that the grain is expensive and the money is useless."
"In this way, there will be a matter of getting a little food for hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"Since that's the case, it's just a trivial matter to be announced, and how much time does it take to think about it?"
The breath that everyone held back was immediately discharged, if things were so simple, what did they care about?
Wen Yanbo, an outsider, didn't speak much, but now, he finally said bluntly: "The chief manager said that he wants the government to inform the people that the grain of Youzhou has entered Daizhou?" I'm afraid...... It's going to take some time......"
A few others said in their hearts, not only will it take some time, even if what you say is out of the blue, the people will have to believe it......
It is better to wait for the autumn, when the cattle and sheep are fattened, and the fields can be harvested, and the effect will be better.
It is said that talking to smart people is very convenient, but now, Li Po feels that smart people are quite damned, and their favorite thing to do is to block your way, so they are happy.
Li Po glared at Wen Yanbo, then shook his head and smiled: "Some things need to be done in a dignified manner, but some things need to be complemented by Qi Zheng in order to win against the enemy......
"Wen Sima, you choose some fresh faces later, if you want to speak the Jindi accent, organize two caravans for me to come out, enter Yanmen from the south, one to Loufu, and the other to Yunnei through here."
"The name, let's just say that it is the relatives of Tang Guogong, who came to us to buy cattle and sheep, and went around the three counties clearly, and then did it again, this time it was to transport grain into the three counties, and it was said that we bought grain from Jinyang."
"Then, find some families who have grain in stock, and open grain shops with the government, and the price of grain everywhere is more appropriate, and some people still want to hoard Juqi's words, kill a batch, and it will not be a small supplement to the granaries of the three counties, and then how to persuade the doors, how to appease the people, there is no need to talk about it?"
"If it doesn't work out, let's buy and sell it ourselves, in short, let the people of Daizhou understand that if the grain is in their hands, in addition to eating, he will also be bad, as long as the price of grain comes at once, if it is used well, it will not go up, and the government will collect the coins, and then use them to pay military salaries, build cities, repair houses, ditches and roads, and then return them to the soldiers and people."
"In this way, when the autumn comes, it is estimated that it will be about the same, right?"
"Besides, there may be troops this year, I heard that Shibi Khan is very sick, and the Turks are fighting for me, so I just took the opportunity to get some cattle and sheep from the clouds to come back......"
"Also, staring at the south, don't let Jinyang's people mess around, well, I will send someone to do this, and besides, this matter must be done quickly, in our place, Jinyang must have a lot of eyes and ears, it is best to finish the matter before Jinyang receives the news."
A few people came here, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
This kind of treacherous ghost idea is a deceptive deception, and they can be regarded as relatively broad-minded characters in the world, but when it comes to brainstorming and brazenness, they can't be compared with later generations.
At this time, several people were thinking in their hearts, can this idea work? If you can, why don't you do it......
Their minds once again prove the truth that officials have always walked with shamelessness.
Wang Lu first began to pat himself on the back, and said with a smile on his face: "The chief manager has many good plans, but it really makes us embarrassed, well, the art of war is in political affairs, and the chief manager is really the first person in the world." ”
The praise was a bit excessive, and he was immediately despised by several other people, especially Wen Yanbo, who felt that this person was really disgusting, and he was purely the kind of person who didn't have back pain when he stood and talked.
You know, Li Po handed this matter over to him.
In fact, several people's brains are a little messy, and they feel that they have to go back and think about it, and after such a circle, whether the people can buy it or not, they don't know the bottom of their hearts.
Unconsciously, by this time, several people's issues had changed 180 degrees.
Because they all want to talk about immigration, and now, it's the price of food.
But whether it is Li Po, they all understand the value of stabilizing food prices, especially Li Po.
As the standard of basic prices, the impact of food is multifaceted.
High food prices, both before and after, are one of the most obvious signs of social instability, and once basic food prices stabilize, it also marks the beginning of social prosperity and stability.
Whether or not you understand the deep-seated truth inside, this will be an issue that those who govern must pay attention to.
Chen Xiaoyi was silent for a long time, and he didn't feel any more tastes, so he could only sigh in his heart, he was really old.
But after thinking about it, although this policy tends to be treacherous and has no take, if it is really done, it will inevitably benefit the people of Daizhou.
He pondered for a while, and then said: "Xiaguan has an old relationship with Lu Zheng of Fenyang Palace, or he can be used by people in Fenyang Palace, and it is cheaper than others to come, but I am afraid that I will leak the news to Jinyang......"
Wen Yanbo said: "Thank you for your trouble, the people in the Fenyang Palace should also have the old people of the lower officials, but I don't know...... How many people can still exist in Fenyang Palace now? ”
Well, this is a clever question, he is actually asking, haven't the eunuchs and palace maids of Fenyang Palace starved to death? You must know that when Li Yuan raised his army, it is said that he got hundreds of palace maids from Fenyang Palace and became military prostitutes.
Such rumors are very suspicious of smearing, but it is not unusual for Li Yuan to really do it.
And neither of them said whether there were Jinyang soldiers stationed in Fenyang Palace, because that was certain, Chen Xiaoyi's meaning was obvious, take Fenyang Palace first, and then make sense.
Fenyang Palace has made him feel like a fish in his throat for a few years. (To be continued.) )
