"The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, but the grain is cheap to feed the people."

Although Zou Yan is a small official who is not in the stream, he is not afraid of Qin Yue at all, and he also gestures very elegantly when he takes the tea handed by Zhuang Sheng. This made Qin Yue feel good, this kind of bearing is not something ordinary people can have.

"If the price of grain is flat, the price will be stable, and if the price is stable, the people's life will be stable."

"But the price of grain is so low, the farmers have no income, and who will still farm?"

Zou Yan smiled: "On the contrary, the farmers are grateful for their hard work. ”

"Why?"

This really aroused Qin Yue's curiosity, as far as he knew, all the states in the surrounding territory had regular liquidation, and the most important function was to stabilize prices, so that the grain that was most related to the national economy and people's livelihood could be kept at a reasonable price.

This Yizhou also has a regular position, and it is still very large, and the reserves are 30,000 yuan, which is ten times that of Fengzhou, but ......

It doesn't seem to work, this grain price is low to the bottom, compared with the surrounding environment, at least three times worse.

Are you grateful for low income? It's obviously the government's inaction.

"Because the grain is free of field endowment, the grain and grass in the official warehouse are all collected and purchased, although the field endowment has been restored in the past two years, but because the people have old grain in their homes, the impact is not great, and at the same time, there is neither a branch nor a change, and the people have no complaints."

“……”

The so-called branch transfer, Qin Yue knew, meant that the payment of taxes should be added to the foot money, depending on the distance, apportioned to the peasant households, which was not only an additional burden for the peasant households, but also a method for officials to make money.

And the change is the magic weapon of bullying honest people, millet, wheat, millet, beans, silk, silk, and hemp...... All kinds of twists and turns, as much as possible to deceive the illiterate people, all depend on how the officials decide, ruthless, peaceful, one thought, a thousand differences.

This shift and change are the two biggest tumors, and they are often the ones with policies and countermeasures, and they cannot be stopped.

Even Guo Rong couldn't help it, and he personally ordered the money twice, but it didn't have too good results, and he had a deep headache.

And in Fengzhou, for this shift and change, Zeng Wu personally calculated that he had crossed out 20 percent, but he could only do so much, I didn't expect it......

The harsh government that has been banned for thousands of years is not in this Shu.

Zou Yan tasted the tea carefully, and waited for Qin Yue to come back to his senses before he smiled and said, "My country ...... Oh, this is the biggest difference between the policy in Shuzhong and other places, in the final analysis, there is grain in the warehouse, you can be generous, but it is the silkworm and other agricultural and sideline industries that are taxed heavier.

In short, through this policy, the imperial court not only encouraged farmers to farm, but also suppressed land annexation, and lowered the price of grain, which really benefited the people. ”

"Why is it that land annexation is inhibited, and the income from growing grain is small, so that farmers will not change to mulberry fields and plant other cash crops?"

"The good teacher knows that there are many people in Shuzhong and little land, and the average family is at most three or five acres, and there is still spare energy to plant mulberry and hemp to engage in side business, so the field will not be barren.

At the same time, the land is the foundation of the family, and the price of grain is low in the end, and it is always necessary to fill the stomach, so no one will sell it until it is absolutely necessary, but once it is sold, there will be a storm.

Under the strict control policy of the imperial court's grain rice, the income from growing grain is too low, if you hire people, or even post it upside down, for the rich, it is better to build a workshop than to take people's lives and seek people's land, and it is better to build a workshop, and it is better to make wine than to buy land. ”

“…… In other words, the economy of Shuzhong is nothing more than four words: protecting agriculture and rejuvenating business? ”

Zou Yan praised: "The four words of the festival marshal are summarized in place, incisive, Shuzhong has been pursuing this national policy for so many years, there is food in the warehouse, and there is no panic in the heart, so there is time, and there is an opportunity to make Shu brocade, Shu embroidery, tea, wine, books, paper, etc. bigger and stronger."

Take a look at the festival marshal, take last year's Yizhou Mansion income as an example:

The government-run shops and gardens, salt and tea bronzes, brewing koji money, annual profits of more than 3.2 million yuan, various rents and municipal taxes, totaling 1.62 million yuan, 860,000 horses of silk, more than 200,000 tons of cotton, and 150,000 end of cloth......

With this money in hand, there is no food to be obtained, and nothing to be done. Therefore, it is completely possible not to harvest a grain of millet, and the average grain is 5 million hu, and the grass is 500,000 yuan, which can cope with various expenses, and there is still more than enough every year. ”

Qin Yue wondered again: "But why do you make white money for emergencies?" ”

Zou Yan smiled bitterly: "Because of the lack of copper, the production of the two copper prisons is very limited, and the people love to save money, and the rich like to melt copper castings......"

Qin Yue nodded, now he understands, the products are abundant, the business is developed, but the coins are insufficient, this is the current situation in Shuzhong.

Now Shuzhong is peaceful, and he should implement the imperial court policy, but not to mention anything else, just Tianfu is a harsh government compared with Shuzhong...... In order to fight, the imperial court really tightened its belt.

Qin Yue also knew at this time that when the army attacked Shu, the Huai River was flooded, the lower stream was completely destroyed, and there were countless hungry people, and the imperial court was unable to provide disaster relief, and 594 people starved to death in Zhongli County alone...... This is still reported.

Now that he has won the country of abundance, I don't know how the impoverished court will make a move, at least, when Xiang Xun left, he held high the holy decree and pulled away everything he could......

Thinking about it this way, compared with the court that worries about wealth every day, I am really living a fairy life.

……

Qin Yue tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Now that the situation has changed, what do you think can be done to make this economy go to the next level?" ”

Zou Yan pondered for a moment and replied: "The Central Plains business road is connected, the first thing is to prevent grain merchants from rushing into the country, destroying the grain reserves in Shuzhong, the grain reserves will change, the economic pattern will change immediately, and the commander needs to be cautious."

Second, we should take this opportunity to make the monthly market bigger and promote business with business.

The third suggestion to the imperial court, it is not possible to kill chickens and take eggs, and forcibly implement the policy of the Central Plains, as far as a certain know, the Central Plains taxes are simply varied compared to Shuzhong, and when the people's hearts are undecided, it is even more ......"

This is to implement the rhythm of one country, two systems, can it be done, will the imperial court agree?

Zou Yan seemed to see Qin Yue's concerns, and reminded softly: "Tariff purchase, there was a precedent in the former Tang Dynasty, and the marshal can let the imperial court set the total amount of taxes, and as for the specific operation, it should be taken according to local conditions." ”

Is it a contract system, sure enough, a talent, Qin Yue smiled on his face: "Grain trading, this dynasty can't help it, but how to prevent it?" ”

Zou Yan thought for a while and said: "Instead of using your brains in tariffs and other aspects, it is better to strictly guard against big grain merchants, the plank road is difficult to travel, if you want to transport grain out of Shu, you can only take the waterway, and take the waterway, you must be a big ship, and it is not cost-effective for a small boat to transport, so the small grain merchant is not afraid, only afraid of the big grain merchant, this is implemented well, and it is almost the same."

However, the four roads in Shuzhong depend on each other, and it is best for the festival commander to communicate with Zizhou, Kuizhou, and Lizhou, and the grain reserves must not be lost. ”

"Good."

Qin Yue got up and stretched out his right hand: "Brother Yanwen has a hidden embroidery in his belly, Qin wants to ask you to serve as the head of the army as the secretary, I don't know if you are willing to give in?" ”

Zou Yan hurriedly got up: "I want to do what I want." ”

Qin Yue's outstretched hand stopped in the air, and then he saved the etiquette of not shaking hands, and hurriedly said to Han Hui: "In the future, you will build a team, and we will work together to make Yizhou's economy go to the next level." ”
