Chapter 406: The Autumn of Events and the Autumn of Fruits—13
Feeling this huge loss, they secretly established a price alliance not long ago, hoping to control the price to a level that the common people are willing to accept. In this way, at least they will not lose much because of the big price war. It's a pity that this price alliance attracted the attention of the local government shortly after its establishment, and Suning even personally issued an order asking the relevant departments to thoroughly investigate their organization and arrest their leader.
Although this incident did not cause much turmoil later, the imprisonment of their leader still caused widespread discussion in society. Small and medium-sized landowners, who are quite enthusiastic about growing high-yielding crops, have also begun to prepare to enrich the variety of fruit trees in their vegetable plots.
So Suning began to worry again, will they fight a price war because of other varieties of crops, you must know that in addition to potatoes and sweet potatoes, the lethality of corn in this regard is not far behind, and more unfortunately, corn can be planted after the end of planting wheat, and it does not affect the use of mainstream cultivated land, although sweet potatoes and peanuts are the same, but potatoes are not exactly the same. If a small potato can cause such a chaotic market, then corn, which has some other functions in addition to eating, is more likely to cause a new price war.
To some extent, this is also the reason why the market law was introduced. Because apart from these small and medium-sized landowners, there was no longer anyone whose production capacity was not under the control of the USSR. Originally, he didn't need to worry about such a situation, but at this time, potatoes were not in his food list, at least the ordinary people could not accept the relatively high price of potatoes, but potatoes were forced to stuff themselves into the vegetable baskets of ordinary people with his fierce yield. What's even more unfortunate is that he has a richer way to eat than those grains, so that the people's yearning for potatoes exceeds Suning's imagination.
After this is the impression of cheap vegetables, the common people at this time are still quite interested in potatoes, a food that has been passed down from the Liangzhou pastoral mansion, and they may also think that this is a kind of noble person who will use practical face food. Such an idea makes Suning not need to wear potato flowers on the queen like the king of France to promote the cultivation of this food. There are even many people who buy potatoes in the market, that is, they go home and plant them secretly, after all, the corresponding planting methods have long been published in the newspapers, as long as someone has the heart to do so, they can always obtain the corresponding harvest results under the guidance of science and through diligent practice.
Even in the time and space when soil erosion was serious in later generations. Potato production near Gansu is also considerable. Then there is no need to say more about this plane.
However, after trying to formulate, the purchase of various agricultural products has begun to increase significantly, cheap potatoes have not appeared in the market since then, those ordinary people, want to eat this magical food, I am afraid it will have to wait a few years, because Suning is not ready to let him in the process of price competition to achieve cheap.
He wanted the food to be reduced in price over a slow process so that growers wouldn't lose too much. After such an idea was published in the newspaper, it immediately caused a collective cheer among those potato growers, who originally thought that Suning was against their large-scale potato planting, after all, he personally ordered the arrest of the little man who tried to establish a price alliance, but after a trial, Suning thought that this person just wanted to solve the problem of potato sales, and did not mean to challenge the market order, so he did not punish him too severely.
But he still has to sell 40 acres of potatoes to the local government every year, and the price is 10% lower than the market price.
Although this is much more affordable than paying agricultural taxes directly, it is undeniable that such a loss will likely lead him to withdraw from the position of industry leader, because others can sell in the market at a high price, and the profits obtained from this can be fully invested in production. It is believed that the scale of their cultivation and their position in the industry will also rise rapidly, and it will not be long before they can easily surpass this former leader.
Those sour rotten scholars who were idle in the streets and alleys, after seeing Suning's decision, immediately gave a thumbs up and praised Suning for having imperial talent.
At least it seems, he's also very good at playing with power.
Those old citizens of Liangzhou are inevitably a little dissatisfied with this, in their minds, Suning has always been the child who is young but very willing to reveal his fierce side.
Because he's a child, he'll get more pampering, and because she's fierce enough, he'll get some extra respect.
In this way, the old citizens of Liangzhou will not be able to see what others say about their Suning.
Therefore, they quickly surrounded these sour and rotten literati, and if they did not explain what they had just said, they would probably have to fight with each other.
But those sour and rotten literati didn't mean to be afraid, they immediately gave their own explanations, first of all, Suning picked up high and put down low, just to win people's hearts while emphasizing market order. In this way, some timid traders no longer dare to challenge the so-called market order. And those potato growers who have just suffered losses will not hold a grudge against Suning because of this, at least not too much.
What's more, Suning soon introduced another policy, using a large number of purchases to stabilize the price of potatoes, so that growers can stabilize their income, no longer have to fight a price war as before, let alone negotiate a suitable price as later, because the government will give a reasonable purchase price, only will not make them always too greedy, and will not let them make too much money.
This is Suning's control and guidance of the two systems, if this kind of control and guidance is not considered power, then, I am afraid that there is no such thing as power in this world.
When everyone heard them say this, they were speechless for a while, and it seemed that even they thought that Suning, who likes to play with power, would do something big in the near future.
"Are you going to be an emperor? It seems that only the emperor needs to think about controlling the whole world. ”
A young man inadvertently said what everyone had guessed.
So from here, more and more people spread this speculation, and it didn't take long for the news that Suning was preparing to ascend the throne and become emperor had spread throughout the entire Liangzhou system.
This made Suning, which had just finished the confrontation on the eastern front, the security of the western front, the crusade against the northern counties and prefectures, the various constructions in Guanzhong, and the promotion of the law change plan, and other major events, and was a little confused about the direction of public opinion for a while.
According to him, they have achieved a lot in that eventful autumn in the past, and to some extent, they have turned the eventful autumn into a fruitful autumn with their own efforts.
But it is undeniable that these things have just begun to lay the foundation, and it will take a while to ferment if he wants to see enough results, and if he rashly ascends to the throne at this time, it will inevitably lead to internal instability and a joint attack from the outside world.
But how can you appease this surging public opinion?
What's even more worrying is whether there is anyone behind them to provoke and exploit? If so, how should they deal with it?
All this will become the focus of Suning's work in the coming winter.
Now Suning found that he was like a farmer, and he couldn't easily spend a warm winter after the autumn harvest, because with the continuous development of productivity, winter is no longer the time period that can be idle. He already has a lot of things to do that are worth doing and very meaningful.
