Li Su said: "Please allow your son to report to you alone." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Shimin said: "Come up." ”

Li Su walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear. Li Shimin nodded and said to the ministers: "Okay, today's court meeting is here." The crown prince, the king of Shu, the king of Wei, the king of Liang, Li Jing, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cen Wenwen, Gao Jingming, Huangfu Rui and Wei Zheng remained. The rest of the people dispersed. ”

"Retreat." The eunuch on duty shouted.

Soon after, in a side hall of the Taiji Temple.

Li Su stood next to a blackboard and was introducing something to Li Shimin and the others. At the request of Li Su, Li Shimin organized an industrial and commercial hearing.

The content of Li Su's separate report is mainly about the future business operation mode of Datang. With the opening of new factories in the industrial city, more and more goods will be produced, and how these products will be sold will be a big problem.

In the short term, because of the uniqueness of the goods, the goods in the industrial city are definitely a seller's market, and the supply exceeds the demand. However, Datang's communications are very backward, and there is no reliable advertising network, and the demand in the Chang'an area will soon be saturated.

Other places, especially those far away from Chang'an, do not know that there is an industrial city product sales here, which will lead to a large backlog of products in the industrial city, and the development of the industrial city will be seriously affected.

Another problem is the problem of transportation. At present, the sales method is that merchants buy freely, and a large number of foreign merchants have poured into Chang'an City, and the already weak road traffic is even more overwhelmed.

Li Su described to everyone the problems that the industrial city was about to face. Everyone immediately had a lot of questions.

There are only two roads leading to the interior of Chang'an City, one is the land route leading to Tongguan, and the other is the waterway that ends in Yangzhou, which is Yongtong Canal in Chang'an.

These two transportation arteries were left by the former Sui Dynasty, and they have fallen into disrepair over the years.

In recent years, it has been relatively stable, and the population of Chang'an City has increased by more than 200,000 people, and the total population has exceeded one million. The pressure of traffic is already high. If a large number of businessmen pour into Chang'an City, traffic congestion can be imagined. Therefore, everyone agrees on the problem of transportation.

However, for the backlog of products, this problem is somewhat disagreed.

In ancient times, the productive forces of society were underground, basically there was a serious shortage of materials, and there was a shortage of everything, where was the problem of product backlog?

Li Shimin asked: "With such a big Tang Dynasty, can't you sell out the things in your industrial city?" ”

Li Su knew that it would be too difficult to talk about overproduction to people who had never heard of the economic crisis.

He thought for a while and said: "Actually, in Datang, there have been such problems, but they are only on a small scale, so they have not attracted people's attention.

For example, the fruits grown by fruit farmers in the mountains, and the fish and shrimp caught by fishermen in rivers, lakes and seas, etc., cannot be sold, resulting in waste. Let's put it this way, the merchant who sells baked cakes in the west market, he also makes a certain number of baked cakes, and if there are too many, he can't sell them, which will cause losses.

Here, Erchen specifically pointed out that potatoes are high-yielding crops, but they should not be planted on a large scale. ”

After tasting the delicacy of potatoes, Li Shimin and all the ministers were counting on the large-scale promotion of potato cultivation to solve the problem of food shortage in one fell swoop.

Gao Jingming, the head of the household, asked eagerly, "Why?" Everyone was also staring at Li Su.

Li Su said: "The output of potatoes is too large, if it is not restricted, farmers will plant, and every family will produce tens of thousands of catties, or even hundreds of thousands of catties of potatoes." Excuse me, who are these potatoes sold to?

The storage period of potatoes is more than half a year, and when it comes to the beginning of spring, they can only rot, and the farmers will suffer huge losses, and the society will be in turmoil. ”

Prince Li Chengqian said in surprise: "Yes, I really didn't expect that there would be such a problem." ”

Everyone thought it was a problem.

Li Shimin seemed to see a large number of potatoes piled up in the farmer's house and cellar, and he felt very frightened when he saw the potatoes rotting and the sadness on the farmer's face. He asked worriedly, "Didn't everyone send people?" Have you made it clear to them? ”

Li Su said: "This matter has been notified, and officials from all over the country have told farmers that a farmer household should not plant more than 2 acres of land." In addition to eating it yourself, set aside a small portion for the market. ”

"Very well, your institute is very well thought out." Li Shimin praised.

Li Su took the opportunity to instill some modern business theories into these top decision-makers in the Tang Dynasty, and finally made them agree to distribute the products of the industrial city with some powerful merchants in Chang'an City.

Li Su came from later generations and knew how great the power of industry and commerce was. In modern society, agriculture is no longer the main body of social economy. At present, the main economic pillar of Datang is agriculture.

He originally wanted to raise the issue of changing business taxes, but after talking to them, he found that these people have always paid little attention to business and have little understanding of it. Li Su can't talk too much to them, just talk about things and solve some practical problems.

These things should not be rushed, but should be carried out slowly, subtly, and gradually.

Li Su was very tired of talking, and everyone felt bored.

Li Su finally asked Li Shimin to organize these important figures, and it would not work without some dry goods. He said: "Father, my lords, the issue I just talked about is only one of today's topics.

Now, here are the main topics to be discussed today. ”

Speaking of this, he said to Li Shimin: "Father, the sons and daughters go out for a while, and come in immediately." ”

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and Li Su walked out.

Li Shimin listened to it for a long time, his head was a little dizzy, and when he looked at the others, it was almost like this. He said, "Wang De, go get some ice cream and come in, everyone will be refreshed." ”

Since there is a cold drink factory, Li Shimin has found that cold drinks are refreshing, which is more effective than drinking tea, whether they are sleepy or tired, eating an ice cream, people will immediately feel refreshed.

The chieftain, the eunuch Wang De, went out and soon brought a large plate of ice cream. The icy stimulation made these people feel refreshed.

At this time, Li Su also came in, followed by Yang Kang and several officials from the Ministry of Industry.

These men were carrying a box, and an official had a sledgehammer in his hand. Li Su went out mainly because of this sledgehammer, without him going out in person, it was impossible to bring this object in.

In this way, Li Shimin's guard captain Ma Xuanliang was still closely behind, ready to escort him at any time.

Under Li Su's command, several officials of the Ministry of Industry took out a copper basin from the box, then took out a bag, and then moved out a dusty object and put it on the ground.

Li Su said: "Father, my lords, please move over." ”

Li Shimin and the others walked over and looked curiously at the things on the ground.
