The palace in Jinyang City is brightly lit.

Huan Yanfan, who pays attention to sunrise and sunset, stayed up late for the first time in his life.

Not only him, but none of the subordinate officials in Jinyang went home...... Datang civil servants, enjoy the joy of overtime.

The core job is to copy the manuscript.

Although there are only more than 700 words in one copy, there are many of them...... Dozens of large and small counties in the entire Hedong Province have to be issued.

Moreover, Li Ran gave a death order, and the official document must be sent out before dawn tomorrow.

In fact, this repetitive and boring work can be handled by the printer, as long as the paper is provided.

However, Li Ran insisted that the subordinate officials move their pens.

It's not that he deliberately tortures people, but that these subordinates want to remember the writing process deeply...... After copying it so many times, it's time to memorize the above content backwards.

When the last post horse left, it was already the next day.

Li Ran stretched and prepared to go back to the house to sleep.

The subordinate official copied the official documents, and he supervised the whole process, so it was strange that he was not tired.

"Shang Shuling, please stay, there is something unknown to the lower officials."

Huan Yanfan's tired voice sounded from behind, with a hint of hesitation and doubt.

This buddy's work ability has nothing to say, as the leader of Jinyang, he doesn't have to copy official documents in person, he practices it, but he copies the most.

"Speak, long story short."

Li Ran snorted and had a general idea of what he was going to ask.

After all, the content of the official document is about the same as thunder for these Tang natives.

“…… Shang Shuling, what is the 'market economy' and 'means of administrative intervention'? ”

Obviously, the most new terms appear in Kumon, which is impressive.

"To put it simply, it is to allow the free circulation of commodities while the government controls prices, which you can understand as a strengthened version of the salt and iron monopoly policy."

"But, but, shouldn't we hurry up and ask the landlords to hand over the hidden grain to stabilize prices?"

Huan Yanfan thinks that his approach is to scratch the itch of his boots and play some false tricks, not to mention ordinary people, even if they are landlords and old money, there are many people who don't know a few big characters, and those new terms are like heavenly books to them, hoping that a piece of paper will calm down the rise in prices in Hedong Road, no matter how you look at it, it is a riot operation.

"What, you mean, let us go and ask the landlords to hand over the grain? Hey, we're all officials, so let's have face. ”

Li Ran glanced at him and secretly scolded him for being mentally retarded.

"No, we ...... in the name of the government"

"Hey, let them hand over the food in the name of the government, so what's the difference between us and Wu Sansi?"

Li Ran interrupted the conversation and said frankly, "These grains are originally the private property of the landlords and old wealthy, unless they voluntarily hand it over, otherwise we will take it, it is a banditry." ”

Huan Yanfan was suddenly messy in the wind, and the glorious deeds of the Tang Dynasty Immortal Master in Chang'an and Luoyang to clean up the landlords and old wealth were obedient is it not possible to inject water pork?

When did he become so reasonable!

"Then, these squires and landlords will never hand over the grain! At present, Hedong Road is short of food, and if there is food, I don't panic. ”

Huan Yanfan shook his head in disappointment, not optimistic about what changes this paper document could bring.

"Lord Huan, please open your eyes a little...... How about we make a bet? ”

Li Ran smiled and put the word gambling on his lips again.

"Oh? What does Shang Shuling want to bet on? ”

Obviously, this thing did not absorb Zhang Cambodia's education, and he was not alert to Li Ran's gambling physique.

"If this official document goes down and quells the rise in prices in Hedong Province, then Lord Huan, you can donate all the books at home to the national treasury."

Li Ran gave the bid code, the family of this goods has been a great Confucian in poetry and book etiquette for several generations, and it is said that the family has more books than Chongwen Hall.

"This ...... Lord Shang Shuling, the stakes are too big, I don't dare to call the shots. ”

Huan Yanfan was scared in an instant, if he lost, the family's century-old hard work would be ruined in an instant.

"Then take a step back, I just need to back up these books, and you will keep them."

Li Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "One of the five-year development plans I gave the emperor is to select sites to build academies in various places to improve the literacy rate of the people, so a large number of books are needed as courseware support. ”

Huan Yanfan was stunned for a while, and his mind was in chaos.

The topic is turning too fast...... Improving literacy among the population?

Instinctive resistance, in his cognition, reading and literacy has always been the patent of nobles and scholars, those mud-legged people can call their own names is good, there is literacy that idle time, it is better to move a few more hoes in the crops.

“…… Since Shang Shuling has such a plan, the lower officials will naturally follow it. ”

Of course, the five-year development plan has been approved by Li Xian at a glance, and it will be a national policy in the future, so there is no need to jump out and oppose it, and he is not iron-headed.

"Okay, then it's decided, if I lose, I'll send your Huan family the same weight of food as the book."

Li Ran slapped his palms and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will go to the market together, and we will be able to tell the winners and losers within ten days." ”

"Marketplace?" , Huan Yanfan couldn't keep up with his train of thought at all.

"Yes, have you forgotten, the official document agreed in black and white on the price of grain in the local market."

Li Ran reminded him that the key word is to stipulate that the price of grain is within a range, not exceeding the upper limit or lower limit, and fine-tuning by the market under administrative intervention is the first step to stabilizing prices!

"However, what is the use of just agreeing on the price, where is there any grain to sell in the market?"

"Who says no, the landlords and old rich people can't have a lot of grain in their hands?"

"But they're never going to take it out."

"No, they will!"

Li Ran smiled mysteriously, and suddenly became serious, "If they realize that the more grain they have hoarded in their hands, the more they will lose, they will naturally rush to sell the grain." ”

“…… Can Shang Shu Ling adults be sure? Huan Yanfan clearly didn't believe it.

"Of course, I have ready-made examples, Boss Chen used "two white and one black" to defeat the entire comprador class in Shanghai, what a classic method. ”

With Hatche, Li Ran stopped talking nonsense and hurried back to the house to make up for sleep.

Only Huan Yanfan was left with a confused face.

So who is Boss Chen? What are two white and one black? Could it be some classic story he hadn't seen before?

Huan Yanfan stomped his foot hard and decided to go home to the library to find the answer.

The leader of the rich and wealthy poetry and calligraphy family has allusions that he doesn't know, how can this be reasonable, we must get to the bottom of it!

Unfortunately, he didn't find the answer until he arrived at the market the next day.

Li Ran had been waiting for a long time.

Radiant and apparently sleeping well.

"You have heavy dark circles under your eyes, don't stay up late, pay more attention to the hairline on your forehead."

Euphemistically reminded this Lord Huan to pay attention to maintenance, drink some wolfberries or something, and then smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Let's go, let's go to the grain store...... Witness the miracle. ”
