Chapter 125 Controlling the Market
In the first year of Jianxing, the first year of Liu Chan's succession, the end of the year was approaching, and a crisis in the dark befell Shu, so that the soldiers and civilians of Shu who should be full of joy because of the approaching year became full of sadness at this moment, and the economic crisis and inflation broke out in Shu.
After all, it is a matter of economic lifeline, and if it is not handled in a timely manner, the economy will be sluggish at least and the country will be chaotic at worst, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in danger of destroying the country.
At this time, Liu Chan is hands on his cheeks, there is no spirit on his face, how to solve the economic crisis has become Liu Chan's most headache, originally according to Liu Chan's plan, 30 years later, the disaster brought by the 100 baht money completely broke out, and the economic crisis also followed, and he tried to complete the sweep of the world in 30 years, the great cause of the Han Dynasty, and then completely restore the five baht money, so that the balance of money and goods, from the root to avoid the economic crisis.
People are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that the economic crisis broke out in advance, which could bring a lot of difficulties to Liu Chan, and he tried to think of the death of brain cells.
Huang Hao stood respectfully on the side, his demeanor was upright and honest, and he didn't dare to speak easily, for fear of provoking Liu Chan, who was in a very bad mood at this time and could explode at any time, after all, the lord in front of him was not as easy to get along with as Huang Hao thought before.
Time passed like this, and I saw an inner attendant tiptoeing in, walking in cautiously, whispering a few words in Huang Hao's ear, and then moving small steps and walking out softly.
Economic crisis, economy, economist, a coherent vocabulary was churning in Liu Chan's mind, and Liu Chan was looking for a famous economist in history or modern times, or a solution that could effectively solve inflation.
Liu Chan pondered, Huang Hao was holding a tray in his hand, and there was a bowl of ginger soup on the tray.
"Your Majesty, after drinking ginger soup to warm up, rest will be thinking!"
sighed lightly, with a little helplessness in his tone, he is not omnipotent, even if he crosses over, it is still impossible to be thoughtful in all aspects, and everything is not as easy as he thinks.
Gently scooped up a few spoonfuls of ginger soup and handed it to his mouth, probably because he had something on his mind, he always felt tasteless, and immediately lost interest and put it back on the table.
As a Huangmen Ling, serving by Liu Chan's side, Huang Hao has been carefully observing and paying attention to everything around Liu Chan, because he clearly knows that everything he has at this time is given by the person in front of him, and only by serving the person in front of him can he have greater benefits.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here!" Putting away everything cluttered on the desk in the study, Huang Hao said lightly.
Zhuge Liang? Anyway, since you can't solve the problem for a while, it's better to let Kong Ming help you think of a way together, so that you still have someone by your side who has an idea.
After clarifying the thoughts in his heart, Liu Chan's face improved a lot, and immediately asked Huang Hao to lead Kong Ming in.
In the study, Liu Chan sat quietly in front of the desk, cooking tea and waiting.
Entering the house, Kong Ming walked to the inner room and saw Liu Chan hurriedly bowing and saluting.
"Your Majesty!"
Waving his hand, Liu Chan motioned to Kong Mingdao: "Father Xiang doesn't need to be polite, here are just you and me, Father Xiang and sit down, you and I will drink tea and chat for a while." ”
Arching his hand, Kong Ming knelt in front of Liu Chan upright, and took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the market in Shuzhong?" ”
"Quotes? What the prime minister is talking about is the problem of rising market prices in the area from Chengdu to Yong'an? ”
Now that Liu Chan knows, the rest is much more convenient, Kong Ming said again: "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" At present, the price rise has exceeded the normal range of the market, and even the imperial court is a little difficult to control! ”
"As soon as I got the news, I tried to think of a solution, after all, the economy is the main vein of my Shuzhong, and it involves the deployment of the next step, once there is a problem, I am afraid that it will affect the overall situation!"
As he spoke, Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh.
"But there is still no way to do it, but from my point of view, this matter is by no means caused by the normal market, and someone must be behind it to artificially disrupt the economy of Shuzhong!"
"The minister also felt the same way, just now when the minister and Ji Bo, Xiu Zhao, Bo Miao, and Xiaoyu discussed the rewards and punishments needed for the military and civilians in Shuzhong to move to Hanzhong, they found that the prices in Shuzhong have risen sharply in the past two days, so suddenly, it is very possible to be artificial! Therefore, someone has been sent to investigate carefully, and at the same time discuss with the four of them how to deal with it. ”
"Can you think of a solution?" Liu Chan said a little anxiously, how to deal with the current economic crisis, this is what he is most concerned about at this moment.
Kong Ming still had a sad look on his face, and when Liu Chan saw it, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Isn't it the father who doesn't have a way to deal with it?"
"The ministers and others have come up with a few strategies and are ready to implement them, but they are not completely sure!"
"It's okay, Father, let's talk about it first, let me hear it!"
Subsequently, Kong Ming told Liu Chan in detail about the way to deal with it.
After listening, Liu Chan fell into deep thought, what Kong Ming said was indeed reasonable, but whether it was to restore the five-baht coin, or to order the counties to report the market situation on a periodic basis, I am afraid that it may not be able to completely solve the problem, and the five-baht coin is impossible to recover, at least for now! As for controlling the market situation at any time, I am afraid that it will have little effect, and it is not so much a solution as a preventive method, but inflation and price rise have already occurred.
Wait, market conditions?? Liu Chan seems to have some ideas suddenly, in fact, not only the market, many systems have self-regulating functions, for example, nature also has the function of self-regulation and recovery, but even if it has the function of self-regulation and recovery, it is limited, and once it is exceeded, it will collapse.
Hearing Kong Ming's strategy, Liu Chan inadvertently seemed to think of a person, Liu Yan, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, who was left in history because of his remarkable achievements in the economy.
It was this person who was in charge of Datang's finance for more than 20 years and carried out a series of economic reform measures in many aspects, which made the Datang economy recover rapidly, including decisions on stabilizing prices.
Recalling the measures, combined with the current situation in Shuzhong, Liu Chan gradually began to have an idea.
"What Father Xiang said is feasible, but I also have a method, if I want to say it to Father Xiang, you and I will discuss it."
"Oh? Your Majesty has a law? But let's hear about it! "Now Kong Ming doesn't dare to underestimate this majesty, in recent months, since His Majesty ascended the throne, it has shown a different state from before, and new and strange ideas have emerged one after another, which makes him have to be surprised.
Liu Chan smiled and said, "I have to be reminded by my father, and I also start from the market!" ”
"Marketplace?"
"The market has its ability to adjust, and we will strengthen its ability to adjust so that it can not only withstand greater economic shocks, but also alleviate greater economic difficulties!"
When Kong Ming heard this, he was not only a little puzzled. "What Your Majesty said, the minister is a little puzzled."
