"Investigate these? Does this have anything to do with the information you just mentioned? Du He didn't know the true intention of Li Chengqian asking them to investigate this thing, but in his simple mind, he intuitively thought that Xiao Li had some preambles and afterwords.

Li Chengqian glanced at Du He and the others a little helplessly, and secretly sighed in his heart, I don't know if all the wisdom in their family has been taken by their parents, otherwise why are these second generations so unenlightened.

"Your Highness, please make it clear!" Fang Yizhi is somewhat similar to Wei Shuyu, but he is somewhat flexible, and when he saw the hesitation in Li Chengqian's eyes, he took the initiative to ask for advice.

"Okay, I'll teach you a good job today." Li Chengqian also knew that if he didn't talk about the routine, these guys would inevitably be ignorant, so he simply said directly: "Do you think someone will buy more than three days of food at a time and store it at home?" ”

"Of course not, now that the weather is getting warmer and warmer, wouldn't it be bad to buy food for three days!" Out of competitiveness, Wei Shuyu took the initiative to speak for the first time.

Although until now, Wei Shuyu still thinks that Comrade Xiao Li's position as crown prince is about to be lost, but ...... Isn't it true that people haven't stepped down yet, as long as they haven't stepped down, they are the prince.

Besides, Fang Yizhi and Du He have performed just now, whether it is true or not, if he doesn't come out again, I'm afraid it will leave a useless impression.

"Not bad." Li Chengqian, who was in need of someone to please, slapped the table: "Since we all know that no one will buy food for more than three days, where does the things sold in the market go?" If there are 100,000 people in Chang'an City, is it possible to sell a million catties of meat in the market? ”

"So that's the case, Your Highness is talented, and I admire you!" Although Wei Shuyu is honest, his brain is not stupid, and Li Chengqian's two questions made him feel like the toilet (plugged) was suddenly open.

The market should be the place that can best reflect the purchasing power of the people, and it is also the place that reflects the people's living standards.

The daily sales of vegetables, grains and meat were investigated, divided by the number of households in Chang'an, which can be used to increase the daily consumption of food by each household; The monthly sales of shoes, hats and clothing can be surveyed, and the monthly consumption of each household in wearing can be obtained; Surveying the monthly sales of daily necessities can also be concluded that each household spends on daily necessities every month.

And these things together, you can basically get the basic consumption of each household in Chang'an, although this data is not necessarily very accurate, but it is indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

"Gao Ming, what's the use of investigating this? Even if you know the income of the people, what can you do? Du He was also stunned, but he was more concerned about Li Chengqian's ultimate goal, as for the details of investigating these data, Second Young Master Du didn't care.

"We don't know what the standard of living of the people is, how do we know if the policies are good or bad? You can't just take it for granted, right? Li Chengqian leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes foggy.

At present, he can't tell these second generations his true thoughts, because the old man in the family knows about their coming to the East Palace, and he will inevitably explain everything to the old man after he goes back.

After all, the bank's affairs have been denied by his own old man, and I believe that soon the news will be known by that group of old goods, and if he continues to insist on it, it will obviously be detrimental to himself, and if some people with intentions do things in it, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

Seeing this, all the officials must have understood that engaging in market research is not Li Chengqian's idle boredom, but a way to make progress under the strong resistance of the old man.

"Your Highness, in what capacity are we going to investigate this?" The problem of Fang Zhizhi is more realistic, and it is closely related to several of them.

"Transfer you to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and arrange new positions for you in the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Li Chengqian replied without thinking about it: "This is that taxes and markets are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it will be more convenient to go there." ”

"What about the manpower? Can't the three of us check it out for ourselves, right? Du He asked from the side.

"You don't have to worry about manpower, I will issue you a row after your appointment is down. I'm just here to say hello to you today, so that you can be prepared, and when you go back, you can think about how to handle this matter. ”

"In addition, if you have time, it is best for you to go to the city office in person to find out in detail, so as not to be clear to your subordinates in the future."

Li Chengqian also believed very much in the three half-people in front of him, in his opinion, the three of them were not capable of completing this matter at all.

But fortunately, there is a capable old man behind them, and Comrade Xiao Li is 100% convinced that in the case that the three of them are not qualified for this errand, the three old men will not stand idly by, and it is inevitable to stand up for their son.

And as long as the three old men make a move, then the results of this investigation will be seen by them, and with the sense of responsibility of these three people, they will inevitably stab this matter to the old man.

Needless to say, the reason for this is that everyone understands it, because since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, until Wu Zetian ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty can be said to have been flourishing during this time, and all the courtiers worked hard in one place and sent their strength in one place. There may be intrigues, but only because of political discord and not mixed with personal feelings.

Therefore, during the Zhenguan period, it was almost the most harmonious and fastest-growing ten years in the Tang Dynasty, which benefited from Li Er's leadership ability and the sense of responsibility of a courtier. At this stage, as long as it is a good policy and a good proposal, it will definitely not be covered up.

It is precisely because of this that Li Chengqian is confident that this market survey will definitely be valued by Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others, so as to arouse the curiosity of these people about politics and economy.

And as long as their curiosity is aroused, Li Chengqian's next plan can continue, and these old guys can take over the affairs of the bank, and then he can hide behind the scenes and watch the old guys in the court fight.

At that time, it is estimated that the benefits of the bank have been spread all over the world, and the old man is expected to have no more obstacles, and after everything falls into place, he can watch those old things that don't take out the money now and can't wait to take the initiative to continue to take them out.

Then there are the rampaging financial behemoths that go on a frenzy of money, watching the old stuff toss and turn for more money, and finally watching them ...... tied to their chariots.

Of course, these are things that will happen in a few years, and the most important thing now is to get the market research right!
