Bai Hui understood what Cui Yiye meant, this guy wanted to say that he didn't need to save things, this habit was really bad.

King Qin didn't hear it, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"The minister thinks that he can trade with Zhao Guo."

This jump is a bit big, and just now it was said to be hoarding, which will be said to be a transaction again.

Cui Yiye said: "Replace the old one with the new one, and then sell the old one to Zhao Guo, in terms of the new plow, it is at least fifty percent more efficient than the old plow, so why not replace it?" ”

Bai Hui listened all the time, and then he spoke: "In exchange, the farmers have only used the plough for a year or two, how many will be willing to spend money to replace it?" ”

"The DPRK and China can subsidize, only half of the price difference, and the transaction with Zhao can earn back the difference. I think the Lord is worried that a large number of farm tools is equivalent to funding the grain production of the Zhao State, but looking at my Qin State, the grain output is not determined by the farm tools. ”

Cui Yiye's words are reasonable, no one in the Qin State suffers in this way, whether it is the dynasty or the people.

However, Bai Hui disagreed: "Why do you want to subsidize farmers? Why is there only half a new farm tool for half adults in Mazhen? The new technological changes promoted by the court will never be more effective than the spontaneous changes of the people. If the new plough is really good, it is natural that some people will give up the old plough and buy a new one. ”

King Qin was a little dizzy, but he felt that what Bai Hui said made sense.

Bai Hui said again: "Why do you make up the difference in price of the old plow and replace it with a new plow, and this difference comes from that account." If farmers want to change, they will naturally change. As for the old plow, I believe that there are really so many people who have changed it, and it will also breed people and industries that buy old plows. ”

"Also, the cost of transportation. This back and forth, the damage is too large. ”

King Qin recognized Bai Hui's words: "This old plough is recorded in the Xianyang Palace, and it can be used for five years if it is well maintained, and it must be replaced with a new one after three years if it is not well maintained. The matter of plowing, Cui Qing may not think enough. ”

Cui Yiye said again: "So, the subordinates don't understand why they hoard a lot of linen. ”

"Ichiba, I'll tell you the truth, if necessary, I'd rather burn it than let the excess linen flow into the market. Although this is a bit unreasonable and unkind, the price of linen cloth on the market will inevitably fall if the quantity exceeds one standard linen. ”

Cui Yiye was anxious and jumped up: "Lord, isn't the low price of linen a good thing for the benefit of all people?" ”

"It's not."

"The door is puzzled!"

In another person, Bai Hui can't even explain at all, and he has to do what he is ordered to do if he understands, and he has to do it if he doesn't understand, but he still explained to Cui Yiye Bai Hui: "Do you know why I keep asking the king to increase the population as much as possible?" ”

Cui Yiye said: "People are the foundation of the country, and the more people there are, the stronger the national strength of the Qin State." ”

"That was also fifteen years later, and children who have not grown up cannot talk about the strength of the country becoming stronger. But for now, more people need more food. In recent years, the Qin State has invested huge human, financial, material, and human resources in order to increase grain production. ”

"But what if there is too much food to eat?"

Bai Hui asked this question, which made King Qin also think.

Cui Yiye said: "If you can't eat all the food, you will have enough food and clothing." ”

"Jokes." Bai Hui's tone changed: "If the price of grain drops by fifty percent, the income from growing cotton will be six times more than that of growing grain, and the hard work paid will only be doubled. In a word: grain is cheap and hurts farmers, cloth is cheap and hurts farmers, and tools are cheap and hurt craftsmen. ”

At this time in Daqin, it was not the time of the free market economy, because the court did not have the ability to regulate the economy.

Bai Hui was reluctant to say, let alone see the big landlords, and the wealthy businessmen swept away the benefits of Qin's hard work.

The economy of the Qin State was fundamentally the gold standard, not the copper standard, but the grain standard and the cloth standard.

King Qin understood, and personally walked in front of Cui Yiye: "Cui Qing, you have been the leader of Qi for a period of time, and you have the people in your heart, which is gratifying to the widows." You will be a good official, but you are not a ruler. The price of grain and cloth represents the stable value of Qin money. ”

Although Cui Yiye, the "minister...... has not fully understood, he also understands that what Bai Hui is doing is a national plan.

King Qin gently patted Cui Yiye on the shoulder a few times: "Cui Qing, Han Qian has gone from the original twenty-three dollars and one bucket of corn to the current thirty-one dollars and one bucket of corn, this is very terrifying. ”

"Minister, know your mistakes."

"You're right, you care about the people of the Qin Kingdom. Bai Hui wants to dominate the world. Soon, Han and Wei coins will lose their value like scrap copper. Qin money will become the most stable coin in the world in the next few years, once Qin money overwhelms the coins of Chu and Zhao, it will be easier for Great Qin to dominate the world. ”

King Qin took out the theory that Bai Hui had explained to him and taught Cui Yiye a lesson.

King Qin appeased Cui Yiye for a few more words and said: "As for the purchase of farm tools by Zhao State, the widow thinks that it is still necessary to sell it to them, but how to sell it and how much to sell it needs to be thought about." ”

Cui Yiye immediately rushed to say: "Please forgive my king, the minister has something to say." ”

King Qin nodded and motioned for Cui Yiye to speak.

Cui Yiye said: "I Qin people still have so many farmers who use the old farming tools from three years ago, two years ago, the new farming tools are better to use, if the new ones are given to Zhao Guo, the minister is uncomfortable." ”

Cui Yiye is not wrong, in his mind, there should be good things that should come first to the Qin people, and then to the foreigners.

Strategically, however, this cannot be the case.

So Cui Yiye just complained and then stopped talking.

Bai Hui said with a smile: "You must still want to say that there are so many people who are still wearing shabby linen clothes, and there are so many people who can't eat food, and still have to use bran to fill their muscles, so what?" ”

Bai Hui's words made Cui Yiye feel very cruel.

But Bai Hui has his own reason, he has seen poor villages in later generations, and then there are so many people to help the poor, and as a result, those villages wait every day for someone to send food, someone to send money, not farming, and not thinking about how to make money, just waiting to be almsged.

"It's better to give it to fish than to give it to fish, Yiye, you are not a good official, but you have so much love, and it is right to love the people. Excessive love for the people is like the doctrine of a loving mother who has many lost children. ”

Cui Yiye's face was red for a while, and white for a while.

However, the king of Qin gave him a step down, and the king of Qin said: "Off topic, what should be discussed at this meeting is how much farm tools to sell to Zhao Guo and how many coins are appropriate." Also, it's normal for this to have strings attached. ”

"The king is wise." After Bai Hui said a word, he shook his head again: "But I haven't thought about any of the issues that the king just mentioned. ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Hui turned his head to look at Wen Luo: "Wen Luo, what is Fan Ju doing?" ”
