Chapter 472: The price of garlic has risen without an appointment

"This year, the county is fine, in winter, according to the village, each village has a boiler room, every family has heating, and there are small population villages, let them move out and build a big house outside.

The winter of the off-season vegetables sold not as good as in the past, mainly now there are more and more people who will plant, the big tax payer or the wharf this piece, the river has been expanded to both sides, and the shrimp fry and fish fry are specially found to be raised in the middle, every other section of the road is stuck in the net, last year began to raise, this year can have a harvest.

Before the Chinese New Year, two pavilions were collapsed by heavy snow, the person in charge of maintenance has been arrested, so that the suspension crushed people, this matter will not be tolerated, the children in the school because of the inconvenience of the road, drank soy milk for forty-five days in a row, the day before yesterday only recovered into fresh milk, your Zhuangzi sold roast chicken and duck has become the county's signboard, last year did not pay less taxes.

Last year's snow was heavy, this year's civilization is estimated to have a little impact, I am worried that the bend of the river will be washed ashore by water, decent people to reinforce, poultry farms do a good job of blocking and preventing diseases, there are more than 450,000 chickens, there are ducks ....... ”

Lu County Ling followed Zhang Xiaobao, and reported to Zhang Xiaobao about the work in the county, and Zhang Xiaobao also occasionally asked a few words.

A group of people from the Turks listened and watched, surprised and envious, Que Secret Service had heard Mo Jianlian's introduction to Sanshui County, it was almost unbelievable at that time, what he said was really too godly, how could the development of any county be comparable to the previous state?

Now that he has heard and witnessed it, he knows that Mo Jianlian still said less, and he is even more envious of Lu County's detailed data introduction, if there is such a capable person in his clan, why was he so killed by the Great Thangka a few years ago?

Zhang Xiaobao was more satisfied with what he heard, and also praised Lu County's order twice, which can be regarded as recognizing his position as a county order, otherwise he would take it immediately.

Xiaobei also served as a county commander, and belonged to the same party as Lu County, nodding and saying: "Lu County's order has worked hard, and it is stronger than when I was in Jian'an County." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's all the support of the people in the county, and if the county makes a decision that is beneficial to the county, a small number of people would rather suffer their own losses, but also resolutely support it.

For example, last autumn when there was a shortage of medicinal materials, I was going to choose a place in the county where the land was fertile to plant medicine, and at that time Lianghetan Village was selected, where there were two rivers before, and the land was strong, this proposal just came out, the whole village was 115 households, 720 people, and there was no more complaint, and the village was relocated within three days, and there would be no Sanshui County today without their efforts. ”

Lu Xian Ling hurriedly and modestly, don't look at Xiaobei's age, but he doesn't dare to underestimate it.

"How are you doing with water transport?" Zhang Xiaobao asked casually.

"It's almost the same as in the past, but the boxed lunches on both sides of the strait are sold less, since there is canned food, many outsiders don't like to eat the county's flavor boxed lunches, and they bring their own canned food, this year I plan to recruit some cooks from other places, and expand the service station a little more, so that everyone can find their favorite meals."

Lu Xianling did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied.

"What about salt and oil?" Zhang Xiaobao is not as surprised as Mo Jianlian and others, who are familiar with the affairs of Lu County, it is normal for him to know these things, and it is not normal to know them, to be able to be a county commander in Sanshui County, he must have the ability, and then asked about the necessities of life.

"The price of salt has dropped slightly, mainly because there are more places to dry salt, and the manufacture of ships is more advanced, the profit from selling salt remains the same, the volume has increased by two percent, and the price has dropped by two percent, and in terms of oil, the price of soybean oil and rapeseed oil has increased slightly.

One is that there are more livestock breeding, and there is also more meat oil, so that the local people prefer to eat meat oil, and the other is that the places south of the Yellow River like to eat vegetarian oil, and most of them are transported and sold there, and the tax revenue increases. ”

"Or try to eat vegetarian oil, go back and write a notice, just say that eating too much meat oil is not good for your health, no, you want to say that meat oil can be made into wax, leave more part, try to sell it to areas with less meat oil, and push down the price of vegetable oil."

Zhang Xiaobao is afraid that if he eats more meat oil, there will be more people with cardiovascular disease, and he wants to raise it in the county, but he is worried that because of his own words, vegetable oil will be more marketable, and the price will be pushed to a higher position, so he can only take a detour.

Lu County Ling nodded again and again, "Okay, I wrote it down, go back and say, the price of garlic after the beginning of spring this year has risen, it has risen a lot, it is double the usual, is it to find a good place to plant more?" ”

"The garlic is up? How did it go up? Do I ask if it went up all at once, or did it go up little by little? At this time, Wang Juan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly asked.

Zhang Xiaobao also wants to know, he understands that people like to eat garlic at this time, many people go to the restaurant to ask if there is garlic, if there is any, they go in to eat, do not turn around and leave, they all say that garlic and meat chew together, he doesn't think it, but he knows that it tastes good when eating sausages.

Lu Xianling thought for a while and replied: "It has risen twice, the first time is just after the New Year, and the price has risen by three percent, and the latter time has risen a few days ago, and the price has suddenly risen to twice the original level.

The people of our Sanshui County are still relatively stable, there is no rush to buy, I heard that the garlic in other places has risen even more, as long as the garlic comes out, it will be snapped up immediately, and I don't know what happened, I always feel that someone is doing this on purpose, but I can't think of a way. ”

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "Lu County Order is busy, I'll wait and watch while walking, don't disturb Lu County Order." ”

Lu County ordered Rumeng to give amnesty, obediently let aside, and waited for Zhang Xiaobao and his party to go away, then raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, and said to the official who followed next to him: "I'm scared to death, thanks to the fact that I haven't relaxed, the little son of the Zhang family is really powerful, and even a lot of data errors can be found. ”

The officials also looked admired, still in front of the officials, and Song Yang, who had become the new head catcher, said with a smile: "My lord, Zhang Gongzi is naturally not ordinary, you must know that Sanshui County was able to change from Zhongxian to Shangxian, many people say that it was Zhang Gongzi who promoted, at that time, he pushed eight hands in a row, there was no master of his family at all, Sanshui County is the foundation of their family, how can they not be satisfied?" People say he's a little fairy. ”

Wang Juan didn't know that someone was behind her back to tell her and Zhang Xiaobao about it, so she lowered her head and thought about things at this time, until the road in front suddenly widened, and the sound of running water came, and she found that she was by a small river, so she woke up and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Is someone deliberately raising the price of garlic?" ”

"I guess so." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

"So what to do? What I'm most afraid of encountering is this kind of thing, in the end, even if there is a way, the real leader has run away, only some people who follow the fry are unlucky, at that time the garlic has turned at least three hands, do you want to give an order, all those who hoard on garlic will be arrested? ”

Wang Juan thought of his own time, from a hundred years ago, until she and Zhang Xiaobao came over, there was no good way to do this kind of thing, and she was worried.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head: "Why arrest people?" Garlic is not a necessity of life, unlike grain, oil and salt, I know that you think of the past, you used to understand in your heart at that time, the real big head is all the elders in the 'capital' as officials or once as officials, not to mention fried garlic, even if it is fried more important things, who can put them how? ”

"Don't talk about what happened at that time, just talk about the present, there are many people who love to eat garlic, why is it not a must? Today they fry garlic, if you don't stop them, tomorrow they will fry something else, even if they finally decide to clean up, there will be many people who will suffer, no, I wrote to Beijing and told Li Longji. ”

Wang Juan seemed very anxious, she understood that this was not only a matter of the price of garlic, but that if it was not handled well, it would reduce the people's trust in the imperial court, and she wanted to go into the car to write a letter.

Zhang Xiaobao stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and said, "You really want to use the executive order to solve the economic problem?" Didn't you say it before, unless it is a last resort, otherwise if you don't do it, the executive order is easy to use, but there are many drawbacks, which will make the other party feel that the court is incompetent, so they continue to find loopholes to attack.

Although political economy is a kind of science united, when it cannot be used in this way, if buying garlic is also hoarding, then what about buying ginger? What about buying green onions? What about buying cloth? How to target? Aren't you afraid that the local officials will take this opportunity to do whatever they want?

I'm telling you, if you say that I'm a businessman, if you say it's to crack down on garlic hoarding when you give the order, I'll immediately change it to something else, if you directly say crack down on hoarding, then the local officials may be arrested by various merchants, and businessmen will inevitably have inventory when they do business, is it considered hoarding? ”

"What about the interview? Bring them together to consult, scare them, and give them benefits so that they don't be so greedy. Wang Juan thought of another way.

"People want to earn a million, after you talk, even if you scare them, but people make less money, people don't make a sound, endure it, and when the garlic comes down next year, people won't accept garlic, and try to lower the price, every line has the rules of each line, who dares to reach out and collect it casually? What will happen to the people who grow garlic then? This kind of thing is going to bounce back.

And then do you want to talk again? Don't you feel ashamed yourself? People ask you, what do you mean? If you can't sell high, you can't sell low, so how good is it to send officials to do business? What price your court says is what it is, what do you think will be the consequences? ”

Zhang Xiaobao gave Wang Juan an an analysis and asked rhetorically.

Wang Juan endured his anger and thought that "it will become a pure planned economy, and then the people who farm the land will have no energy, and there will be problems in buying and selling, after all, people who are good in the economy usually do not become officials, and those who can be officials need to put more energy into the officialdom, and it will be even more chaotic at that time."

Just like without our arrival, there would be a salt tax in the Tang Dynasty, which would make the price of salt higher and higher, so what should we do? Do you want to cooperate with our family's business? ”

"The problems of the economy are better solved by economic means, and I cooperate with them? Appointments? Did I give them face? Isn't it the price of garlic that has risen when they are used to their problems? I let them rise, compensate them to death, and go back to me to investigate, who leads the way, I will make it difficult for them to move an inch in the future. ”

Zhang Xiaobao scoffed at this kind of compromise and said contemptuously.

Wang Juan smiled and hugged Zhang Xiaobao's arm, "I knew Xiaobao, you have a way, what just happened, you came up with a trick to deal with it, tell me quickly, how to do it." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, let's go to the county seat and rest, it won't make them feel better after all, let's confirm first, in case the situation is not as we said, there is no use in the way we came up with."

"Why not, and there is no news that there is a big disaster in a garlic-producing place, and the price suddenly changes so much, isn't there a ghost, is it to collect garlic from other places and ship it to sell?"

"It's not good where to harvest garlic, as long as you collect it, the price of that place will inevitably rise, you said that the eggplant is steamed and mixed with sauce to eat, is it better than directly frying?"

"Each has its own taste, what does it have to do with eggplant?"

"It's okay, I'm going to steam eggplants today, and when there are more potatoes in the future, I will also steam them, mix them together and eat them, and I drool when I think about it."

"How?"

"I'll talk about it later."

Zhang Xiaobao and his entourage walked towards the county seat of Sanshui County, until they were in charge of the lights at night, and they did not arrive at the county seat, and just came to the river connected to the capital.

Because the people of Sanshui County are rich, and every family lives in a two-story house, the demand for other aspects is also high, and countless street lamps are erected on both sides of the river.

The light of the street lamp is not very stable, it is flickering and dimming, and the hydroelectric generator placed next to the river turns fast, the street lamp will be on, and the slow turn will naturally be dark.

Even so, they also frightened Que Secret Service and others, looking at the merchant team walking on the shore road by the street lamp in the night, and seeing that there were sleepless people carrying shrimp cages to fish for shrimp, more than 70 people thought that they were no longer in the mortal world.

"This is what I said about the street lights I saw in the capital at that time." Mo Jianlian's gaze went down the river, and he was fascinated by the brilliant colors on both sides of the river, and introduced the same stupid Que Special Service.

"I wonder if my people can have the same thing? There is a bright light, I guess the wolf would not dare to attack the sheepfold at night, right? Que was envious, and at the same time knew the gap between his clan and the Datang people, in his own clan, wax lighting was more luxurious, and when using oil lamps, people in Datang could have electric lights.

In the summer, when you can't sleep at night, how comfortable should it be to go out for a walk? Well, just like now, things in the pavilion not far away.

Mo Jianlian also saw the pavilion, there were a few children in it, and they were not too cold, eating in the pavilion with wind on all sides, a wind blew from that side, and the smell of fried things and barbecued meat wafted down the air, so happy, and sighed: "Don't think about it, my clan is gone." ”
