When the boat arrived at Guangzhou Bay, Sun Xiangfu felt at home.

To his surprise, Li Tai actually greeted him on the dock, it is said that he is now holding the position of deputy minister, under normal circumstances, but he will not leave Chang'an.

"The teacher has worked hard all the way." When Li Tai, who was getting more and more obese, saw Sun Xiangfu walking off the boat, he actually bowed down and saluted, which made Sun Xiangfu a little surprised.

"You are the prince of honor, and you have the official position of deputy prime minister, and you are still above me, so you don't need to give me such a big courtesy." Sun Xiangfu helped Li Tai, who was standing up straight, and his body was a little difficult.

After Li Tai raised his head, he smiled and said, "No matter what position you are in, you are always your student. Teacher, please get in the car, in the city, I have prepared a sumptuous banquet in the house. ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he glanced at Li Tai's body and said, "Wine banquet, let's eat, you better eat less, and exercise more is the right thing." ”

Li Tai in history did not live long, even after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he gave him a preferential treatment, but he only lasted two or three years before he died, and he was only thirty-two years old when he died, perhaps, this has something to do with his physique that now weighs more than 200 catties.

"What Master Sun taught, but, hey! My body is like this now! Even if you don't eat anything, you can grow as much meat as possible, Sun Daochang said that it was a disease of spleen deficiency, and he took a lot of medicines, but it had no effect, and in the future, I was afraid that it would only be like this. Li Tai said helplessly.

To say that more than ten years ago, he still had some methods for the position of the crown prince, but now, he wants to do more for this country and leave a good legacy for his wife and children.

Because, knowing more and more about medical knowledge, he knows that he may not be able to survive his brothers, and even his father Li Shimin, what is the point of fighting for those things!

Sun Xiangfu followed Li Tai's on a big car parked at the intersection of the wharf, this car, I don't know whether it is the third generation of the car factory, or the fourth generation of products, using a steam engine, made the same as a bus, but the interior, but with the same decoration as the guest room, think about it, the kind of shuttle bus in Chang'an, is also made of such a frame, but the interior decoration is different.

After sitting down in the car, Sun Xiangfu thought of the previous question and said, "Are you here for business in Lingnan?" ”

When Li Tai heard this, his eyes dodged again, and he also aimed at Sun Jing and Sun Feng who were also in the carriage, and then, in a somewhat unnatural tone, said, "Yes, it's on business, but the main thing is to pick you up, by the way, and ask you something." ”

"What needs to be so urgent? I won't be able to get to Chang'an in a few days, and you still came here to ask? Sun Xiangfu looked at Li Taidao with some suspicion.

Li Tai's eyes rolled, he didn't know what he was thinking, and in the end, he seemed to think of a point that could be said, and said, "There is a matter, it's very urgent, it's late, I'm afraid of some unexpected situation, so my father sent me to ask you." ”

"Then just say it! If I had a way here, you would have been able to inform Your Majesty sooner if you flew a pigeon and passed the book. Seeing Li Tai say this, Sun Xiangfu straightened his mind.

Li Tai said the question he thought of and said, "That's the case, since the Byzantine Empire and the Great Food Empire were taken by us, the people of the world know that in the future, the days of war and chaos will be gone forever."

Therefore, we Datang do not need so much food, or strategic materials and the like, and now everyone has sold the grain in their hands, causing the price to fall again and again, and it has fallen below the protective price established by the imperial court more than ten years ago, but on the market, there are still a lot of grain competing to sell, let this situation continue, the farmers who farm, I am afraid that their income will be greatly reduced, and they will not be able to meet their daily consumption. ”

"The war has stopped, so that more people can recuperate, with our current food production, to feed everyone, more than enough, food prices will indeed fall, which needs to be changed through statistics, some macroeconomic control.

You should know that grain, which is something that can be converted into many other commodities, and if its price falls, then the price of these things that can be transformed from it will also be lower.

First of all, people can use less cost, raise more chickens, ducks and livestock, and launch more and more delicious, higher price meat to the market, and then, as the market has more of these meats, its price will also fall, as well as these chicken, duck and livestock related products, will also begin to fall as a whole, similar to the price of wine and snacks with food as the main raw material, there will be a sharp decline, which is like a biological chain cycle, which will affect all levels.

Therefore, the peasants' incomes have decreased, and their expenses will actually be somewhat reduced, but to a certain extent, the peasants' incomes may be lower than those of other strata in this process.

What kind of ratio is appropriate to achieve requires statistical data to analyze the relationship between output and supply······"

"Teacher, wait, I don't understand these things anymore, is it a new doctrine of yours?" Li Tai's eyes were a little dizzy.

Sun Xiangfu shook his head and said, "No, in fact, this is a strengthened version of the imperial court's previous regulations on what crops the people plant and how much wine they can brew in a year."

What the country needs, increase the output on the demand side.

What the state has in excess and shrinks the excess output.

When supply and demand are balanced, all prices will stabilize down, and the previous Byzantine Empire, before the war with the Persians, their population and output have been stable, and their prices have been stable for hundreds of years, which is the reason.

The problem now is that the people know that there is a lot of grain in the market, and they can't sell it for money, and they may swarm to plant other crops next year, which may lead to a grain shortage next year. ”

Explain in this simple way, Li Tai immediately understood, the market is so big that the Tang Dynasty is so big, it is difficult to have any hoarding, affecting the situation of the price of the whole country, the fluctuation of prices, generally because of the imbalance between supply and demand in the market, the people who grow grain, a few years ago, because the imperial court wanted to export a large amount of grain to the Western Regions, they sold grain at a high price and made money, and now, after the end of the war, the local people began to produce their own grain, and their grain was backlogged in their hands, and it was normal to suffer some losses.

Even in later generations, prices will continue to fluctuate according to the relationship between supply and demand, and it is normal for people to plant a large area of cotton in a bumper year and not sell it at a good price, or just in time for a large cotton gap and a price increase, they planted a lot of cotton and sold it at a good price.

In the Jinghu area where Sun Xiangfu lived in later generations, there were many farmers who changed the rice fields that did not make much money into lotus seed fields.

But later, the people of the whole region swarmed to plant lotus seeds, and some people even packed hundreds of thousands of acres of paddy fields into patches, as a result, the output was too large, the market demand was saturated, no one wanted what was planted, and the price continued to fall, causing them to lose money, which is a common thing.

As long as the state counts the planting area, output, and market demand of all crops, and makes certain plans, prices can be stabilized for a long time, unless there is some huge natural disaster to mess up the supply and demand relationship in the market.

Seeing that Li Tai listened to his words, he entered a state of contemplation, Sun Xiangfu did not continue to talk to him, such a big country, how difficult it is to want statistics, even in later generations, with the assistance of computers, the calculations of many professionals may not be able to count the global data in a short period of time, so it can only be roughly measured through a small place, and a general level of the whole country can be roughly measured, and it is good to ensure that there is no less.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the Yue Wang's Mansion in Guangzhou, and now, Li Tai has been renamed the Yue King by Li Shimin, and this mansion is actually rebuilt in the location of the palace built by Feng Ang for Li Shimin.

Now, Guangzhou City is already the southern capital, the scale of the palace, is not so little, in addition to a variety of luxurious accommodation areas, there is also a large government affairs hall, even than the Taiji Palace is not small, Li Shimin in winter, may take a boat to the south, live for ten days and half a month, and the Lingnan people contact and contact feelings, anyway, now there is a steamer, the back and forth is relatively fast.

Ah Yue greeted Sun Xiangfu at the gate of the palace, she is still pregnant with a child in her belly, and by her side, there is a son and a daughter to follow, the eldest son is six or seven years old, and the younger daughter is three or four years old, all of them are a little chubby, like Li Tai.

"It's such a big belly, don't come out to work, is it such a big Wei Wangfu, do you still need a pregnant woman to come out to do the work of welcoming guests?" After many people greeted each other, Sun Xiangfu joked and helped Ah Yue up and smiled.

At this time, she had already given birth to two children, and her face had a lot of maternal brilliance, and when Sun Xiangfu finished saying this, Sun Jing, Sun Feng, and Sun Xun came from their side, and there was a chuckle.

Sun Xiangfu turned his head and looked at them in some surprise, and then, Li Tai, who felt very faceless, took a few steps faster with his thick legs, and rushed into the palace living room, because he knew what Sun Jing was going to say.

"Daddy, His Royal Highness King Yue, in order to marry Sister A Yue, I promised her that I would not accept a concubine to marry a concubine in this life, so ah! This Yue Wangfu is only the hostess of Sister A Yue. ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Ah Yue's embarrassed expression, he pointed at Sun Jing and said, "Look at you kid, you have no rules and no distance, Ah Yue is now the princess of Yue, you can't scream nonsense." ”

Hearing him say this, Ah Yue didn't do it, back then, she learned song and dance under Yu Xiu'er, but she lived in Sun Mansion for several years, and watched Sun Jing's children grow up, of course, at that time, Ah Yue was not very old, and she should have grown up with their children, so she usually didn't see anything outside.

She slowly swayed into the house with her hands on her waist, and said, "I heard them call me Sister Ah Yue, but I was happy, but ah! I asked Li Tai to make such a promise, but it wasn't because I was jealous and couldn't tolerate other women, you look at his body, if there were more women, I'm afraid it would be ······"

Ah Yue didn't continue, Sun Jing and Sun Feng, who were married and had children, all understood, but Sun Xun and Sun Ang, who had not yet married, didn't understand much, and looked at Ah Yue with an inquiring face, waiting for her to continue, but they were snapped their fingers on their heads by their father Sun Xiangfu, and a group of people laughed and entered the living room of Yue Wangfu.
