Chapter 129: Turning the Clouds and Rain

Chen Zhengtai seemed calm and relaxed, and summarized all this massive amount of information.

Land prices have begun to loosen.

But...... It's all under control.

He muttered the surnames of the clans who owned a lot of land.

At this moment, Chen Zhengtai is like a hungry wolf lurking in the night.

He slowly licked his minions, waiting for a chance to rush out and deliver a fatal blow.

After two days, countless messages were densely marked on the map, so ...... I had to change the map and transcribe the latest information.

According to the continuous collection of information by dozens or hundreds of people, the land information of the entire Guanzhong has been collected.

Dental line is an important indicator.

Of course...... This indicator may not be entirely useful, as a real large trade will never be made in a tooth shop.

And people who own a lot of land will never rush to sell their land because of one or two pieces of news.

Apparently...... For the time being, these are all foolish dreams.

The family has sufficient resources, so it can always deal with most of the risks calmly.

When the news of this annual output of thousands of acres of grain began to take root in the hearts of the people, and many large landowners and clans also received the seedlings of the Chen family, many people began to be convinced...... There will only be a surplus of food in the next few decades, and there will never be a food shortage.

Food prices are finally starting to loosen.

The first to react were the grain merchants.

When the grain merchants, who had heard of the catastrophe in Guanzhong and were ready to make a fortune a few months later, realized that if they did not sell the grain again, there would be a huge deficit, the grain began to plummet.

"It's down 30%." All of this was obviously expected by Chen Zhengtai, who marked it on the one hand and said to Li Chengqian on the other: "Senior brother, do you understand what this means?" ”

"Land prices are going down." Li Chengqian didn't think much about it.

Chen Zhengtai nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that the junior brother is still very smart, but it's just ...... It's not enough. We are now making a big gamble with the world's families, and this big gamble ...... It's the hearts and minds of people who gamble. ”

"People's hearts?" Li Chengqian read these two words, thoughtful.

He always felt that Chen Zhengtai would pop out a little inexplicable knowledge.

It took Li Chengqian many days to barely understand something, but now...... He was confused again.

Looking at Li Chengqian's dazed appearance, Chen Zhengtai said: "Owning land is the inherent thinking that everyone in the world has cultivated, after all, our ancestors have been like this for generations, and the world has experienced many cycles of chaos, but in people's inherent concepts, only those who own land can be invincible." ”

Chen Zhengtai paused, and then said, "And this...... It has become the belief of the vast majority of people, this belief is much more reliable than what gods and Buddhas they usually worship, to break this superstition, it is necessary to break their confidence little by little, like a drop of water through the stone, the yield of thousands of catties per mu is one, and the annual output of thousands of catties is also one, but this is not enough. ”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother pondering what to do with this, what is the benefit?" ”

"Of course there are benefits." Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Chengqian with a smile: "Money, do you like it or not?" ”

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "I like it." ”

This guy actually had to think about it, Chen Zhengtai had to give him a roll of his eyes with contempt, and then said: "It's not just money, the key is ...... We need to break these things in order to create a new world, eh...... I mean...... To get rid of the ills of all dynasties, money is a secondary thing, this time, you understand. ”

Li Chengqian actually felt that the goal was not important, anyway, he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and he wished that the world would be in chaos.

This is the greatest wish of young people.

What followed was the collapse in food prices...... It's finally starting to get scared.

At least the Wei family is starting to get a little worried now.

The Wei family has two granaries in Chang'an.

Although this year's grain production has been reduced and there has been a disaster, because the land in the west of the city has been used in exchange for a lot of grain.

The Wei family, with hundreds of thousands of people, can eat so much food with just such a few mouths? And the storage of granaries is essentially costly.

And...... In the future, once the grain harvest is abundant, especially the promotion of this potato, it is almost foreseeable that more and more grain will need to be stored in the future.

This made Wei Xuanzhen start to have a headache.

Because he is now faced with two difficult problems.

Huang Chenggong, who was standing in front of him, said with a sad face: "The proprietor, Zhuangzi has urged the proprietor to make a decision as soon as possible, saying that it is ...... Say yes...... If you don't make a decision sooner, you will ...... in the future 'M afraid...... I'm afraid that something will go wrong. I can't store the food for the coming year. And...... This granary had to be built in a big way, and the manpower and money needed to ...... I'm afraid it's not a small amount. ”

Oh, yes.

Next year......

What should I do if I harvest grain next year?

Now that food prices have fallen to the bottom, I am afraid that next year's market will only get worse.

There is so much land at home, so much grain can be grown every year, and your grain is reluctant to sell at a low price, so you can only continue to store it.

To store, it is necessary to open a position immediately, and this ...... It's all about money.

Wei Xuanzhen had a big headache: "It's better to sell some old grain next year......

"No." Huang Chenggong immediately shook his head and said: "The current grain merchants are unwilling to accept grain, they can't sell it, if they really want to sell it, I'm afraid of this price...... Isn't it enough for us to hire manpower to farm? ”

Wei Xuanzhen was furious for a while, and said irritably: "This warehouse is built and costs money, if it is not built, the grain will rot in the ground, to put it mildly, it is all to blame on that hateful Chen Zhengtai, if he didn't make that potato, how could the Wei family be like this." ”

Huang Chenggong was silent.

Because he has already calculated, Chen Zhengtai is a conspiracy rather than a conspiracy, anyway, the potatoes are made, is it wrong to promote a high-yield crop?

Now in the whole world, who dares to say a word about this matter. Once you say it, I am afraid that if Your Majesty does not spare you, all the people in the world will drown you with a mouthful of foam.

People are doing good deeds!

But if you can't swallow this breath, you say this potato, I won't plant it.

But the question arises again, if you don't plant, someone else will plant, what will be the result?

Thinking about it this way, both horizontal and vertical are at a loss.

Who would have thought that this farming, which could have made a lot of profits, is now getting heavier and more at a loss.

However, although this is true for the world, it will face such a terrible situation, but for ordinary people, it will not suffer!

Because they have no surplus food of their own, they are self-sufficient, and once they can grow potatoes in the future, they will only need a little land to feed themselves.

Wei Xuanzhen gasped and suddenly choked up: "The ancestors left so many ancestral properties, and now ...... But he will be defeated in the hands of the old man. This Chen Zhengtai ...... It's really harmful, old man...... The old man can't swallow this breath. ”

Huang Chenggong couldn't help but say: "The proprietor, there is one more thing, which is also reported from Zhuangzi. ”

"What's the matter?" Wei Xuanzhen said sharply, he raised his eyebrows, feeling that it was not a good thing.

Huang Chenggong said: "I heard...... Many farmers are now making trouble, saying that the grain is not worth much now, and they are hired to cultivate it in the village, and they want to use the money to hire them instead of distributing the grain. ”

"They think well, where in the world is there such a good thing?" Wei Xuanzhen scolded.

Now everyone knows that copper money is very valuable, because there is more grain in the market, and there will only be more grain in the future, and those tenants, of course, do not want to help their landlords to collect rations when they plough, so they naturally want to use money to hire them.

Tenant farmers are stupid, but this stupidity is only in the long-term vision, after all, they do not read, and they have not seen the larger world.

But...... In the face of immediate interests, they are still very shrewd, and now fools only cultivate for grain, and they want you to give money, the brass kind.

Huang Chenggong said with a bitter face: "The students are only afraid, they will make trouble in the future, even if they don't make trouble, they are only afraid that many people will flee in the future, and now they are very emotional, and the few people sent to manage can still maintain the situation at the moment, but once it is a long time, it will ......."

There is no need for Huang Chenggong to continue, Wei Xuanzhen's face is already miserable.

Well, it's really all the problems that come up at once.

"This Chen Zhengtai, still don't let people live?" Wei Xuanzhen's mood became more and more irritable, and she scolded again: "I can't live my life." ”

Fierce ...... Wei Xuanzhen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "My nephew...... Wei Jieyi...... At the beginning, he said that he would sell the land...... Now I want to come...... It doesn't have to be unreasonable. ”

Wei Xuanzhen thought of that stupid nephew, and suddenly regretted it a little!

If you sell a batch of land at that time, it may not be a good way to get a large amount of money while the land price is still good.

That guy looks silly...... But in fact......

"The proprietor, don't you know, Nawei Jieyi, has already sold his private land." Huang Chenggong said.

"What?" Wei Xuanzhen's eyes widened.

There are two kinds of land for the Wei family, one is the clan land for the head of the family like Wei Xuanzhen, but although the other houses are not divided, some land will also be allocated to them, and the amount of this land will roughly range from hundreds of acres to thousands of acres!

For example, the fourth room where Wei Xuanzheng and Wei Jieyi's father and son are located has more than 7,000 acres of land.

Wei Xuanzhen was shocked: "When did his family sell it?" ”

"It's not that little madman who suffered family law in the ancestral hall, after going back, he was like crazy, he had to say what to struggle, and said that the land could not be kept, and he wanted to sell the land, his father Wei Xuanzheng was unwilling, he was going to hang, to find death and life, the proprietor, you also know, who are the four owners, he regarded his son as a baby, as soon as he saw his son like this, he couldn't take care of anything, and really sold all the private land in their four rooms. I heard ......"

Speaking of this, Huang Chenggong swallowed his saliva, a little envious: "I heard that it was sold for a good price." ”

"This brute." Wei Xuanzhen scolded: "He didn't even call the old man when he sold land!" ”

"The proprietor...... This ......"

Wei Xuanzhen seemed to think that it was inappropriate to say this, so he changed his words: "This little brute, he doesn't feel sorry for selling Ye Tian." But...... The immediate priority is to sell some ......"

"No." Huang Chenggong shook his head: "This is not the best time, in the past few days, the price of land has fallen by more than 10%, if you sell it at this time, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss." What's more, the Wei family has accumulated so much land over the years, which is the foundation of the Wei family, the proprietor...... Think again. ”

When Wei Xuanzhen heard this, he slowly calmed down, paused for a while, and said: "Yes, yes, at this time, you must not sell it, if it is sold, it will really be a bad descendant, just like the four rooms." Mr. Huang is really a good word, and the old man is almost confused. ”

Huang Chenggong immediately showed a wise look, he knows a truth, in front of his own owner, it doesn't matter whether he is wise or not, if a person wants to find a good job, the most important thing is that he must appear wise.

Wei Xuanzhen only saw his calm appearance with a little wisdom on his face, and his heart was determined.

…………

"Food prices have fallen by 10 percent."

Someone rushed into the Erpigou University Hall.

It fell again.

Li Chengqian looked elated: "Haha, senior brother, now, isn't it...... Land prices are also falling? ”

"It's still early." Chen Zhengtai gave him a blank look: "Do you really think they are so uncomposed?" ”

Li Chengqian was speechless for a while: "So what happens next?" ”

"Don't panic." Chen Zhengtai said calmly: "Soon they will start to have headaches." Now their farmers must be beginning to be unstable, and they have grain, and when they have grain, they will have a dilemma, either to sell grain or to set up warehouses to store more grain for an even greater harvest in the coming year. But as soon as the price of food continues to fall, they will realize that no matter how much money they spend on manpower and material resources, it is useless to build as many warehouses as they want, because ...... The more food they have, the more they lose. They can't sell the old grain in their hands. ”

Chen Zhengtai thought for a while, and then said: "Next, I'm afraid that someone will go to the book and say that the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants." ”

"So what to do?" Li Chengqian looked suspicious.

Chen Zhengtai said lightly: "What else can I do, I can't hurt the farmers because of the cheap grain, so ...... Your Majesty will order the destruction of potatoes. So...... They scolded the sky, and it was useless. This is the general trend, the so-called general trend of the world, the vast soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. ”

"Oh." Li Chengqian nodded, feeling that Chen Zhengtai's analysis was very reasonable, so he asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Don't make a mess, stand aside, study hard, but ......" Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the brother of the junior brother is going to stand up." ”

"I have a lot of brothers, you ...... You're talking about Li Tai's kid? Li Chengqian frowned and said in surprise.

"Of course." Chen Zhengtai said: "Who else besides him?" Why does everyone say that Li Tai is smart and easy to read, and that he is talented and intelligent. He is just a child, why are so many people praising him, have you thought about the reason? ”

Speaking of Li Tai, Li Chengqian was angry, but he seriously thought about Chen Zhengtai's question, and finally shook his head.

Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "This is because ...... He has a gentle temperament, not as strong as His Majesty and you, only people with a gentle personality, those celebrities and Confucians are willing to approach, this is just like the celebrities and Confucians, naturally they will like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty who rule by inaction, and will not like emperors like Liu Bang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”

Li Chengqian didn't think about it, and immediately said: "That lonely can also be gentle......"

"Wen you're big." Chen Zhengtai glared at him.

"You dare to scold Lonely?" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and glared at Chen Zhengtai.

"Look." Chen Zhengtai was happy: "I just scolded you, and your tail was exposed, where can you be gentle?" Well, to get back to the point, what I just mean is that it is precisely because of Li Tai's gentleness that everyone is willing to approach him,"

After a pause, he said: "And Li Tai is surrounded by too many such celebrities and children of the world, they not only praise Li Tai, but Li Tai is also deeply influenced by them. This time, they have been victimized, and they must shout that the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants. ”

Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Chengqian, who was listening to him carefully, and continued: "Actually, where is Li Tai smart, he is just touted by others, and the people around him chanting like this will make Li Tai mistakenly think that this is a good opportunity to invite him to seek fame, but I am afraid that in front of his teacher, he will parrot his words, so next time, if he talks about hurting farmers in front of his teacher, junior brother, you must severely reprimand him, scold me fiercely, and show a little bit of the appearance of a prince of a country." ”

"Oh." Li Chengqian wrote it down, but he was still a little hesitant in his heart: "Just do this, my father won't be angry, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Chen Zhengtai said very seriously: "Although the teacher is very famous, for those famous people and Confucians, he always looks humble and asks for advice, and always obeys his words, in fact, the teacher is very wise, he knows better than anyone else in his heart, generosity is just his surface, if it does not touch the fundamental interests of the teacher, it is good, once it touches the fundamental, the teacher can carry a knife from Chengtianmen all the way to Mingdemen." ”

Li Chengqian subconsciously shuddered: "Senior brother is too straightforward to speak. ”

Chen Zhengtai said with a bitter face: "This is because I regard you as my dear brother, otherwise, I won't tell you these big truths." ”

Li Chengqian was immediately moved. Yes, the senior brother is still very sincere to himself, and the people in this world who are really good to themselves are only afraid that in addition to the queen mother, they are the senior brothers.

"Now ......" Chen Zhengtai slammed the case suddenly: "Cheer me up, the show is about to start, let's let the world see, what is called drumming up the wind and clouds, turning the clouds and rain!" ”

After that, Chen Zhengtai's gaze fell on the map, and his eyes shone with a sharp light, at this moment, he had infinite confidence in himself.

Economic warfare, I have specially used the theory of the 21 st century to beat you small peasant economic scum all over the ground.
