Chapter 635: Guo Zongxun's Request

Finished!

Zhao Shang has handed it in!

Chai Rong's words were equivalent to announcing that Zhao Shangjiao's career was completely cut off, and the old man had to roll up and go home in advance. Those who promised to shout for Lao Zhao all kept their mouths shut. After all, no high-ranking official is willing to run the vegetable market, and they can't even tell the difference between soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts.

So many people obediently chose to shut up, Chai Rongman thought that more people would jump out, after all, he was the head of the official, and he always had to have some appeal, but it turned out that he overestimated the integrity and righteousness of these people, and this lawsuit ended in a hurry.

Even Qi Tongwen and Guo Xingge didn't feel that it was enjoyable, and the things they prepared were far from being like this...... Even Guo Zongxun was a little lost, he had written so much, and that white-bearded stinky old man only knew how to bite the grain and hurt the peasants...... He's too superficial!

How could there be such a stupid person in the court of my father's emperor?

When the queen mother was alive, she said that there were many virtuous ministers in the court, but now it seems that it is not a big deal...... Guo Zongxun shook his little head, thoughtful.

"Emperor, you stay for a while, there are still things to discuss."

It is ashamed to say that a group of ministers are not as in-depth as the emperor's understanding of business, Chai Rong called Ye Hua and the four of them, and when they arrived at the side hall, Qi Tongwen presented his investigation report with both hands.

Chai Rong listened to the explanation while flipping through it.

Ye Hua on the Golden Palace didn't speak, but at this time he was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, the so-called cherishing material resources and not damaging things is not unreasonable, but Old Master Zhao forgot the prerequisites." Ye Hua said with a smile: "All dynasties have been based on agriculture, even if it is a good year, the accumulation of materials is not much, and the shortage is the norm for thousands of years, so we must not be extravagant and wasteful, even if it is rotten vegetable leaves, we must use it." ”

Ye Hua said with a smile: "However, the current situation in Dazhou has changed a little, not that there is no shortage of materials in the entire Dazhou, but in some places and in some fields, there is no longer an extreme shortage......

Ye Hua gave Chai Rong an example, take Kaifeng as an example, it has a population of more than one million and a super huge market...... Around Kaifeng, because of the implementation of equal fields, there are countless homesteaders, and they all have a small piece of their own land.

Interestingly, the small-scale peasant economy is certainly not conducive to improving the efficiency of agriculture, but there is no big landlord who has planted all the land with vegetables.

The reason is very simple, vegetables cannot be stored, nor can they be transported over long distances, and they are far less convenient than grains and raw silk...... And no matter how big the landlord is, he eats that dish at a meal, and he grows a little bit at will, which is enough for himself.

But this is not the case for smallholder farmers.

They grow vegetables and fruits, and can earn 50% more than grain...... Normally, vegetable farmers are all busy except in winter, and they are a family, without exception, there are many people, even in winter, they do not stop, they will breed chickens, ducks and pigs, before the end of the year, sent to the capital, in exchange for the New Year's expenses......

This kind of decentralized small-scale peasant economy, even in later generations, has a great effect, as far as Ye Hua knows, the consumption of vegetables and fruits of the Chinese people, measured per capita, is far beyond that of developed countries, and it is also the kind of unbeatable...... There is no way, who has concentrated the land of many countries in the hands of a few.

Those big farms will only produce "Huang Xiaoyu", and in international futures, there is no watermelon!

All in all, around Kaifeng, the supply and demand of fruits and vegetables have basically been balanced, and there is even a slight oversupply!

From a historical point of view, this is definitely something worth writing about, and it should even be celebrated by the whole world.

But the problem is that the surplus vegetables will impact the price, the harvest will not be bumper, and when the centralized market is listed, even the cost will not be earned.

Ye Hua introduced the whole situation clearly, and a solution was about to come out...... Guo Xingge took out his expertise and explained to Chai Rong: "Your Majesty, after calculation and verification, destroying an average of three to five percent of rotten vegetables every day can increase the price of vegetables by about fifty percent. Most vegetable farmers benefit from this! ”

"In other words, there are still vegetable farmers who have suffered losses?" Chai Rong asked rhetorically.

"That's right, mainly the vegetable farmers who provide rotten vegetables." Guo Xingge said: "The situation of these vegetable farmers is not the same, some people are deliberately shoddy, some are because of natural and man-made disasters, in addition, some vegetable farmers are too far away from Beijing, the road is bumpy and rugged, and the vegetables are damaged during transportation." ”

In response to these circumstances, the minister has formulated corresponding measures, which are not as good as some people who deliberately provide inferior vegetables to be disqualified from trafficking. As for the long distance of the road and the rugged road, the minister thought that the bridge should be built and paved, and the minister felt that the four-wheeled carriage should be replaced by a two-wheeled carriage, which was both stable and large! ”

is worthy of being a science and engineering man, Guo Xingge's attention is focused on technical means.

The four-wheeled carriage is not a new thing, and the four-wheeled carriage used by the Champion Square to transport iron ore can be promoted as long as the road is repaired.

The rest is a natural disaster, which is very troublesome.

Qi Tongwen and they had no choice, but Ye Hua came up with his own suggestions.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should start from three aspects, first, Kaifeng Mansion should compile a part of the budget as a special fund for emergency relief, and secondly, we must encourage farmers to take out insurance!"

Banks have been around for several years, and it is only natural to develop the insurance industry, not only for agricultural products, but also for goods trafficked overseas.

"In the end, it's up to the farmers to protect each other." Ye Hua said: "Merchants have chambers of commerce, craftsmen have guilds, and farmers should also have peasant associations...... Combine vegetable farmers to increase the ability to resist risks, and also gain the initiative in bargaining! Ye Hua believes that it is best to make the peasant association strong enough to set up shops directly in the capital.

There are fewer intermediate links, vegetable farmers can sell at a high price, and people can buy high-quality and inexpensive vegetables......

After Ye Hua talked about it, it was Qi Tongwen's turn, and he mainly watched from the side of the people.

Raise the price of vegetables, benefit farmers, and provide low-cost vegetables to poor families, so that they will not be unable to afford to eat, but those who are not very poor, but who are by no means rich, what should they do?

"Your Majesty, the grass people remember that a few years ago, the three divisions successively contributed money to purchase grain to protect the stability of grain prices...... The grass people feel that if they start on the salary, they should also formulate a wage standard! ”

Qi Tongwen successfully steered the topic in another direction...... The discussion between the monarch and the minister became more and more enthusiastic, although Guo Zongxun had no room to interject, but he was full of a sense of accomplishment!

The book says that the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch wants to let the people eat meat in clothes, and now he has made the people eat vegetables, and it seems that he is not far from the Holy Monarch, at least he sees the direction!

Guo Zongxun's fighting spirit was ignited, if he could wake up earlier, maybe he would be able to be a good student like Uncle Xing, if he was not so stubborn, maybe the queen mother would ......

When he thought of his mother, the little one still couldn't hide his loss, so much so that when he left the palace and went back to the school, he was silent and thoughtful.

The next day, Zhao Shangjiao handed over the resignation, and this old minister of the Four Dynasties was planted in the hands of the prince who was less than ten years old!

Zhao Shangjiao left the capital in a gloomy manner, and there was no one to send him!

"What a bunch of people who walk the tea and cool the brute!" Zhao Shangjiao sat in the carriage and kept gritting his teeth and scolding, "Do you think that the old man was dismissed, and the old man suffered a loss?" Let me tell you, this is called the little rod to take, and the big rod to go! It is getting more and more difficult to be an official in Da Zhou, and a vegetable seller can actually make a big article! The old man doesn't believe it, how good can the princes in the court be! Wait for your deposition! Maybe the end is worse than the old man! ”

Zhao Shangjiao smiled strangely and left gloomily.

One Hou Yi, one Zhao Shangjiao, and two Haoshou sacrifice flags, Chai Rong's official reform was finally pushed down, the political hall became a cabinet, and the six ministries, which were originally imaginary, were plumped up all of a sudden.

Chai Rong was in a very good mood, and he deliberately took the time to see the prince.

"Emperor, whatever reward you want, just say it."

"Anything?"

Chai Rong nodded, "That's right, including the six rates of the East Palace!" ”

Guo Zongxun thought seriously for a while, and suddenly raised his head, "Father, son, want to go and see the queen mother, okay?" ”

Chai Rong's pupils contracted instantly, his face became gloomy, and he said unswervingly: "Do you really want to go?" ”

"Tomorrow is the queen mother's birthday, and I haven't given her a birthday yet!" Guo Zongxun lowered his head and muttered.
