Liu Yuan was even more embarrassed by his laughter, and said angrily: "What's so funny!" Aren't you afraid?! ”

Cui Wenqing smiled, his face suddenly showed a cold color, and he clearly stated the facts that seemed to have been ignored by the assassins: "In Xia Bucai, Xi Wei is the governor of the Zhenwu Army from the third grade, the champion general, and the husband of the Shangzhu State, when the dynasty is the third grade Shangshu Ling, the prime minister Wang Anshi is my teacher, when the dynasty is the third grade privy envoy, the prime minister Yang Wenguang is my grandfather, the current saint, the official family of the Great Qi is my senior brother, I really don't want to show off anything, but to tell you, go and sue, the sooner the better, I even want me Cui Wenqing to send someone to send a horse to send you there! Let's see if you can get the court to deal with me?! ”

"You, you, you ......" Liu Yuan's face was as red as pig's liver, and he pointed at Cui Wenqing with his finger, his whole body trembled, and he was already so angry that he couldn't speak.

In the face of Cui Wenqing's extremely strong words, the rest of the assassination history was as quiet as a cicada, and no one dared to speak.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing sneered, but his heart was very clear.

Because he understands that being strong can only be exchanged for the submission of others, but not the approval of others, if you want to convince these assassins, you must use the policy of turnips and sticks.

Now that we've beaten them with a big stick, it's time to use turnips to win them over.

Sitting down calmly, slapping the table with his big hand, Cui Wenqing said in a deep voice: "Today's celebration, this official originally didn't want to talk about those unhappy things, but as the minister just said, the contradiction always exists and must be resolved, so the official will discuss with you today the solution to the problem, and since you still recognize me Cui Wenqing as the president of Hedong Bank, then listen to me first." ”

"The so-called bank is not a philanthropist, nor is it a charity, but only one purpose, that is, to assume economic functions, to ensure the stability of the currency, and to make good returns. As the president of the bank, I, Cui Wenqing, only look at the income, and invest a penny into it, and I must earn two pennies back before I can return to the capital. ”

"At present, the pig breeding subsidy implemented in the four northern states is indeed very good, but in the final analysis, it is just an investment by the bank, and when the farmers grow up piglets, the bank will rely on these pork sales to earn back the subsidized silver, and even earn more."

"All of you here are concerned about Li Min and come to fight for piglet breeding, the starting point is good, and their intentions are also good, but you ignore the fact that there is a problem, that is, the problem of overcapacity."

"Overcapacity? What does this mean? The thorn history had never heard of such a novel word, and they all exchanged their heads, but they also shook their heads to indicate that they did not understand.

Fu Bi became interested and asked with a smile: "Cui Lang, please explain to everyone what overcapacity is?" ”

Cui Wenqing arched his hand and replied: "The so-called overcapacity is that if the ability to produce products is saturated, the products produced will exceed the capacity needed by the society, and there will be a large supply gap, which will lead to overcapacity." ”

For example, if the annual pork demand of Daqi is 10 million catties, and the pork provided by my Hedong Bank plus the pork provided by the rest of the land is below 10 million catties, that is, the production capacity is greater than the supply, if the two are equal, that is the capacity saturation, if the demand exceeds the demand of 10 million catties, it is overcapacity."

"There are many disadvantages of overcapacity, the biggest trouble will cause the unsalable pork, because the market does not need so much pork, it will cause a serious drop in pork prices, before buying 50 wen a catty, maybe you can only buy 30 wen 20 wen, or even lower a catty."

"In the end, you assassins might as well tell me, is this a gain or a loss?"

The assassins are all Confucian scholars, how can they be good at economics? Hearing Cui Wenqing's words, they all scratched their ears and cheeks, and they didn't understand very clearly.

Cui Wenqing sighed and said: "Let's put it this way, there is a famous strange appearance in agricultural production, that is, whether it is a harvest year or a poor harvest year, the money that farmers make is about the same, why is this?" This is because there are bumper harvests in all parts of the country in a bumper year, the supply of grain is sufficient and the supply exceeds demand, and the price of grain naturally falls, and it is difficult for peasant households to sell grain, and the selling price is low, while in the year of poor harvest, the demand for grain is greater than the supply, and the price of grain naturally rises, and the peasant households selling grain are easy to sell and the selling price is high, so the income is flat for two years. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Wenqing said concludingly: "So no matter what, we must pay attention to the relationship between production capacity and supply and demand, and we can't follow the trend of planting or breeding, but adjust it according to local conditions and time conditions." ”

Finally, a few bright-minded thorn historians understood, and one of them suddenly said: "What Governor Cui means is that even if we vigorously develop pig breeding now, we won't be able to make money, and it will even bring unsalable pork, right?" ”

"Yes," Cui Wenqing nodded, "In the distant western country, there is a very classic case called why you would rather pour out milk than give it to the poor. ”

"Legend has it that there is a city in the westernmost part of the Western Regions with 50,000 inhabitants who consume 50,000 bottles of milk every day. As a result, due to the economic depression, fewer people can afford milk every day, so only 7,000 bottles of milk are consumed every day, which means that 3,000 bottles of milk are unsold by dairy farmers. ”

"If we ordinary people think that these 3,000 bottles of milk are given away for free, it means that there are 3,000 potential milk consumers in the city who can get milk for free and are not willing to spend money to buy it."

"So, the result of giving it away for free is that the dairy farmers are even more miserable, and they can only sell 4,000 bottles of milk. If you understand it this way, it is indeed better to just dump these 3,000 bottles, so that at least 7,000 bottles can be sold. ”

After finishing speaking, Cui Wenqing looked around at the history of the thorns and said: "Use the logic of economics to summarize this case: when there is too much milk supply in the market, the price of milk in the market will fall, and the overall yield of dairy farmers will decrease, and when this yield is negative, dairy farmers will continue to be in a state of loss, and in order to avoid this continuous loss, dairy farmers must dump the milk - because whether it is given away or sold at a low price, it is supply." The original intention of pouring out milk is actually to restore the balance between supply and demand. ”

After Cui Wenqing's words fell for a long time, the hall was still buzzing and discussing, obviously the assassins were shocked by Cui Wenqing's novel theory.
