Chapter 570: Worrying about the sky
"If it was in the past, the imperial court could still buy some grain and store it, but now the warehouse is full of grain, and even the reserve warehouses in various places are full, and the imperial court can't eat it if it wants to!"
Dai Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He has been an official all his life, and for the first time he is distressed by too much food!
"Quickly recruit Zhao Guogong, Lu Guogong and others to the imperial study to discuss matters!"
Li Er was also helpless about this matter, so he could only gather everyone and want to brainstorm.
"Why don't you call the horse too, since he can stabilize the price of grain, maybe there is a way to restore the price of grain!"
Dai Xuan arched his hand and said.
"Well, that's right, the Manchu Dynasty has a lot of ideas for that kid ...... ghost!"
Li Er nodded approvingly, and continued to instruct Wang De beside him, "Call that kid too!" ”
Zhao Yin was originally fighting the landlord with several wives and concubines at home, and he had been losing, and he had just drawn a good hand, but he was suddenly pulled to the palace, full of unhappiness!
But when he came to the imperial study, he found that the room was full of ministers, and their faces were worse than his!
"What? You're having a good time, and you're being pulled? ”
Zhao Yin glanced at everyone and raised his eyebrows to ask.
"Don't mess around!"
Li Erhu said with a face and pretending to scold.
"Why are they all pulling on their faces?"
Zhao Yin still didn't give up and continued to ask.
"Dai Shangshu went to the east and west cities today to explore the price of grain, and found that the current price is abnormally low, I am afraid that it will hurt the peasants!"
Li Er sighed and shook his head.
"Oh......! This concubine understands, you were reprimanded by His Majesty because you couldn't think of a way, right? ”
Zhao Yin pointed at everyone and laughed.
And the crowd did not refute, but lowered their heads.
Because what Zhao Yin said was right, as ministers of the court, they couldn't even come up with a decent idea!
"What's the best thing you kid can do?"
Now the ministers are helpless, and they can only put their hopes on this kid.
"It's not a big deal at all, there is a solution!"
Zhao Yin smiled confidently and said lightly.
"What's the solution?"
And all the people looked at him suspiciously.
"Demand is greater than supply!"
In fact, such a thing is easy to solve, only the demand is greater than the supply, and the price of grain will naturally rise, but the ancient people did not understand this!
"There are so many people in Datang, if this method can be solved, the price of food will not be so low!"
Dai Xuan disagreed with his statement.
"This year's grain harvest is bumper, and in addition to three meals a day, the people still have a lot of grain in stock, and it is impossible to achieve more demand than supply!"
Even the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head.
"If you only rely on the people to eat, it is naturally not easy to solve!"
Zhao Yin sold a pass.
"So what should I do?"
Li Er couldn't help but be curious.
"I don't know what Dai Shangshu likes to eat?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Naturally, in order to solve the food problem!"
Zhao Yin shook Erlang's leg and said lightly.
"Naturally, rice is the main thing, and then some vegetables and meat are used!"
Dai Xuanhu said a few casually suspiciously.
Anyway, he has been honest all his life, and the emperor knows it!
"What about Lu Guogong?"
Zhao Yin turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin
"I'm different from Old Man Dai, I love meat, every meal can't be separated from meat, it's best to have two more sips of wine, hiss ......!" Beautiful! ”
Cheng Yanjin closed his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.
"If everyone can be like this to Lu Guogong, it can be regarded as serving the country!"
After listening to his words, Zhao Yin clapped his hands and applauded.
"What? This extravagant way of eating can be regarded as serving the country? ”
Wei Zheng's eyes widened on the side, and he looked at Zhao Yin in disbelief.
"That's right, if you want to raise the price of food, you must first consume it quickly, but if everyone is like Dai Shangshu, eating their own rice, vegetables, and poultry, when will this food be consumed?"
"Could it be that the old man is honest and thrifty, and he has done something wrong?"
Dai Xuan couldn't believe his ears.
From ancient times to the present, there is no such reason!
"It wasn't before, but now it's wrong......
Zhao Yin nodded, and then continued to ask, "May I ask Dai Shangshu, what do you usually use to feed the poultry at home?" ”
"Naturally, it's grain!"
Dai Xuan said angrily.
"So, if there is too much grain at home, you can feed the poultry, and the poultry can not only eat meat, but also lay eggs!"
"It won't take much!"
Dai Zhou scoffed at the idea.
"Then if the people of the entire Tang Dynasty are all eating meat and all start feeding poultry, how much food will be consumed every day?"
That's what adds up.
"This ......!"
Dai Xuan began to think in his heart, "In this way, a lot of food will indeed be consumed!" ”
"Is this to encourage the people to eat meat?"
Wei Zheng scratched his head and asked.
Although he is a member of the imperial court, he is reluctant to eat meat every day, let alone the people!
"That's right, but don't overdo it, it's best to eat two or three taels of meat a day, so as to ensure that the people have a healthy body!"
Zhao Yin began to popularize health knowledge to them.
"Well, the colt is right, look at me, why am I so strong? It's because I eat meat every day, haha......! ”
Cheng Yanjin patted his chest and said with a little pride.
However, eating meat can boost your stamina, and that's true!
The army, in particular, must eat meat every day!
"It is not good for the health of the people to only eat food every day, so take this opportunity to let the people breed more and improve their usual living standards!"
After sparing the bend for a long time, Zhao Yin finally said the final solution.
"That's right, I have to eat meat every day, how can the people only eat food?"
Li Er was a little excited when he thought of the meat that the people of the Tang Dynasty could eat in the future.
During the Sui Dynasty, the people didn't even eat a full meal, not to mention eating meat!
Now not only do the family have surplus food, but they can also eat meat!
These things are also good results in history!
"Thanks to Your Majesty's hard work, the people can be so rich!"
The eldest grandson Wuji, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth with a beautiful sycophant.
"Is the pony going to be bred by the people?"
Wei Zheng asked.
"I wonder how many poultry you have in your family this year?"
However, Zhao Yin did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Of course, the price of food is so low this year, and I have a lot of chickens and ducks at home!"
"The old man's family has raised more than a dozen geese this year than in previous years, and also raised a few pigs, if it was in previous years, I wouldn't dare to raise so many!"
"Well, it's pretty much the same in my family!"
Everyone spoke.
As we all know, among many poultry, pigs are the most edible, but the pork improved by Zhao Yin is extremely delicious, so pigs are already a must-have poultry in people's homes.
"Since everyone knows that food is cheap, we need to raise more poultry to improve our lives, and the people naturally know it!"
Zhao Yin smiled indifferently.
"Well, that's right, after raising poultry, you can not only eat it yourself, but you can also sell it!"
Li Er also agreed.
"Therefore, there is nothing that cannot be solved in this matter, the low price is only temporary, and when the food is almost consumed, the price will naturally go up!"
Zhao Yin shrugged his shoulders, feeling that he didn't need to explain anything more.
"Well, it's the old man who is worried!"
Dai Xuan lowered his head slightly ashamedly.
