Chapter 1854: Heavy Agriculture and Suppression of Business......
Guan Yu and Xiahou were speechless, and it was also because you were Chen Xi, if other people were so messy, they would be beaten, "Let's take you over, eldest brother happened to be talking about something with Cao Gong." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Uh, yes, I'll go over then." Chen Xi hesitated twice, and decided to go over, anyway, it was impossible for Cao Cao to die with Liu Bei, and he could just inform the two of them about some of the things involved.
When Chen Xi arrived at Liu Bei's residence, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, as well as Mi Zhu, Wei Zi, and Wei Qi were all in the courtyard, and after glancing at the composition of this character, Chen Xi knew what he was probably discussing.
"Ha, Zichuan, it's really time for you to come, I sent someone to look for you before." Liu Bei saw Chen Xi stepping in, and immediately got up and said, it can be regarded as giving Chen Xi enough face in front of Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao has now found out that Chen Xi really didn't call Liu Bei the lord.
"Are you talking about business, or about lending?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
Liu Bei heard the words with a smile on his face, it seemed that if it wasn't for the death of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he would immediately burst into laughter, "Zichuan, you are indeed a good eye, you can see at a glance what we plan to do, so what do you think the few of us are going to do now?" ā
"It should be to discuss business affairs, there is only this kind of trivial matter, Sun Bofu is not interested at all, and Zhou Gongjin is busy with his feet, when he learns about this, even if Xuande Gong specially informs him, I am afraid he will just refuse." Chen Xi pursed his lips and said.
Now to discuss these important matters, either Liu Caosun alone brought a Wenchen over, or Sun Ce felt that he was not interested and did not come directly, and sent a copy of the content of the negotiation to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu before the results were released.
However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can still distinguish the priorities, so there will really be no missed major events, for example, such as business things like this, Zhou Yu is too lazy to care, agriculture, social population, and war are only big things on Zhou Yu's side.
Of course, this is the opinion of almost everyone in this era, business is a big deal, which is why Cao Cao and Liu Bei agreed on this matter while being idle and no one stopped it, business, that's the way it is in this era.
Including the families of the five wealthy merchants, the Mi family, and the Wei family, in their opinion, business is just a tool in their hands, not their foundation, of course, the Zhen family and the Wu family are enjoying it, in their opinion, they have gone crazy.
As for Liu Bei's notice to Chen Xi, whether it is the five-year plan or the position of Dasi Nong, he is actually in charge of this area, so there is a notice.
"Zichuan really has good eyesight." Cao Cao said with a thumbs up.
"Zizhong and Bo Ji have what they think." Chen Xi didn't even ask about the content of the commercial law, and directly asked Mi Zhu and Wei what they thought, and it was obvious that Mi Zhu and the three of them were a little embarrassed, these three guys were Cao Liu's money bags, and with their backs to the two of them, they had already gained a lot of power.
"Let's be honest, it's nothing, just how you feel right now." Chen Xi looked at Mi Zhu and said.
"To tell the truth, I don't think there is any problem, the lord and Cao Gong plan to suppress commerce, because the current business of Fenggao is too prosperous, so that many people who are not engaged in production live better than many toiling people, and the lord and Cao Gong are afraid of affecting the country." Mi Zhu said that he actually has a very positive view of curbing business.
"Oh, you all think so, too?" Chen Xi looked at it, Wei Zi and Wei Qi asked, both of them nodded, and it could be seen that both of them also had such an opinion, sure enough, in ancient times, even those who engaged in business looked down on business, and it was really a shame that these five wealthy businessmen could become bigger!
"It's true to say that those big businessmen don't do anything, and it's true that they disrupt social order, and in general, small businessmen, that is, those handicraft businessmen, are really doing things, and it's not bad for big businessmen to buy low and sell high to earn the difference." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
"So, Zichuan, what do you think?" After all, Liu Bei has been working with Chen Xi for too long, and when he heard the strings, he naturally asked.
"I think we should develop business." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "What we want to do is to stabilize prices, guide the normal development of business, and kill it directly to be honest, I don't agree with it at all, and business is still very necessary." ā
"It's just that the businessman doesn't do the farming, how can I say it, if too many people do this, who will be the farmer under the rule?" Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei with dissatisfaction, and had agreed with him before, but now he decisively followed Chen Xi's thoughts.
"Not to mention the need for capacity of merchants, just to say that before commerce developed to a certain extent, merchants actually bought and sold surplus materials, relying on the transfer of surplus materials from one area to another." Chen Xi said calmly.
"Let's put it this way, because of the different situations in various regions, the prices of various prices are actually very different, take Shu brocade as an example, the price of Sichuan and Shu is completely different from the price of Chang'an." Chen Xi saw that Cao Cao had something to say, so he immediately blocked the other party with words.
"And isn't that because the merchant is raising the price in it?" Cao Cao said dissatisfied.
"Actually, it's not, it's more because Chang'an doesn't produce, just like the salted fish in the East China Sea, as the distance from the sea gets farther away, the price will gradually increase, let's say it's close, Yang Xingzu, it is estimated that Cao Gong and Xuande Gong know it, he was quite far away from the sea back then, so someone bribed him with salted fish." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Although Cao Cao said that he was not happy with Chen Xi, he also nodded, he knew about this matter, after all, the sheep continued to hang the fish, and it was also a famous story, and what could be used for bribes, even if the value was not too high, it would not be too low.
"Besides, in the north, the war horse is expensive, in fact, everyone knows it, and that's it, but when you go to the south, you can see the situation of Gongjin talking to me about the horse farm before you go." Chen Xi spread his hands and said, "So businessmen are needed." ā
"How much?" Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and he could be regarded as agreeing with Chen Xi's words.
"Reality will be naturally regulated, Cao Gongda can rest assured, there are many businessmen, they can't make money, they can't afford to eat, they will naturally go to farming, after all, in the current situation, no matter how bad farming is, it's okay to eat with a mouthful, and if the businessman's words are messed up, maybe someone will die." Chen Xi spread his hands and said indifferently.
"But speaking of which, in fact, if the businessman controls it well, he can actually balance the price." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "What's more, in my opinion, in terms of the current business, there is still a very long way to go before I can limit it." ā
