The stability of grain prices is more decisive than the stability of other non-staple foods, because as long as the food prices are stable and the people can eat, then the ruling foundation in this era is stable, because other regimes can not meet the food and clothing problems of the people under their rule, because of this, food is the top priority of the game of the Ming Dynasty.

Entering the grain store, five or six strong young men in the grain store were pouring corn kernels into a huge grain hoard, and today the corn yield in Lantian is high again, so the main product of Lantian grain store is still corn.

A huge grain hoard made of wood is full of corn, and the grain hoard is actually a wooden fence surrounded by a cloth to prevent the grain from being exposed.

The grain store mainly deals in several staple grains, the most of which is corn, followed by wheat, and a small amount of rice, and the potato and sweet potato grain store is not open, because it is not very well stored, and these two things are generally more in the vegetable store.

Corn as the best-selling grain, grain stores in a total of five major grain hoards, rice and wheat are fine grains are very expensive, generally the family comes to the guest, or want to improve the food, will buy some to eat, the general conditions of the family simply can not meet the standard of living to eat fine grains.

"Yo, you're here, guest officer, look at what you're doing."

At this time, the shopkeeper of the grain store came out and looked at Li Chaosheng with a smile, Li Chaosheng looked at the shopkeeper of the grain store and said, "What is the price of corn today?" ”

The shopkeeper of the grain store said with a smile: "Eight pounds of money." ”

Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard this, this price was set by him, and the price of corn should not exceed ten wen, this is the first grain policy put forward by Li Chaosheng at the Lantian Grain Conference, and it is also a dead rule set by Li Chaosheng to the political departments under his command, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Commerce.

In recent years, due to the rapid economic development of Lantian, it is obvious that there is not much profit from farming, and those guys from the Ministry of Agriculture want to change the agricultural field to cash crops because they see this wave of dividends in Lantian.

This is definitely more profitable than growing corn, so the Ministry of Agriculture submitted this idea to Li Chaosheng, and after Li Chaosheng read it, he convened this meeting, and the theme of the meeting was the Lantian Food Security Conference.

Li Chaosheng was furious at the meeting, angrily reprimanding this group of bastards for getting into the eyes of money, and scolded these students who graduated from Lantian Academy did not dare to say a word, and finally Li Chaosheng proposed: "I don't care how you want to toss and develop, but I just have one request, the price of Lantian's staple grain corn can never exceed ten yuan a catty, if it exceeds this price, one more penny, you will give me a collective resignation, more than three wen to prison, more than ten wen, all come to see me." ”

Second, the grain store in Lantian must be able to buy grain at any time, and if the supply is cut off, the crime will be the same as above.

After Li Chaosheng's policy was decided, he basically divided a red line for Lantian that corn must be enough for the people of the county to eat, and the price should not be too high.

Why is the price of corn set at 10 cents a catty?

There is a reason for this, the people at the lowest level of Lantian now, of course, have to throw out the peasant households, because the peasant households themselves grow corn, and they will not lack food, and the lack of food is the out-of-production households living in the city.

Li Chaosheng's idea is that according to the minimum living standard of these people, if there are five people in a family, he must be able to feed this family of five by himself, to put it bluntly, Li Chaosheng does not allow a single person under his rule to starve to death.

Of course, it is impossible for this family of five to eat with only one person, and this family of five must have at least two or three laborers, after all, female workers in Lantian can also find jobs, and some embroidery, textiles, and even some restaurants in Lantian are studying whether they can hire some women as partners.

Of course, the latter one was still rejected, because the society has not developed to that level, so this is not accepted, and when Lantian develops again, it is not a big deal for women to show up.

Of course, this requires a process, Lantian people have adapted to women to work in factories, and even adapted to the commercial street where women can do business, this little bit is imperceptible, and slowly women can get fairer job opportunities, but this is a long way to go, even if Li Chaosheng is a county honor, he has privileges in Lantian and cannot interfere in these things.

The grain red line is to ensure the basic livelihood of the people, and the most difficult people who have just changed from a homeless person to an ordinary landless person in Lantian can also obtain food through their own work, and can even feed a family of five.

Of course, according to the calculations of Li Chaosheng's think tank, the general situation in Lantian is that the average income of two laborers in a family can reach about 100 wen a day.

And a family of five can eat about three or four catties of cornmeal a day, plus buy some vegetables, which means that you can eat well with a day's average salary, and the remaining half is a deposit.

Li Chaosheng listened to the budget of the Political Department and said: The life of the people is still hard, and we must let the people earn as much as possible.

Li Chaosheng's consideration is divided into two aspects, the first is that Li Chaosheng hopes that the people under his rule will be richer, not all of them will be yellow and thin, and they will not let their children be malnourished, and they can only eat a piece of big fat on the day of the New Year.

Don't let the young man not be able to marry his beloved girl because of the bride price, the people of Lantian don't spend much, basically spend on food, Li Chaosheng hopes that the proportion of food can be reduced to one-third of the people's daily expenses, so that they have more money and make them richer.

This may be one of the things that successive emperors have hoped to do, to hide the wealth from the people.

Secondly, only when the people have money in their hands, Lantian business can develop, money is not very important for a political system, if the warehouse in Lantian is full of gold and silver, it is a pile of heavy metals.

But when it comes to the hands of the people, this thing is called money, because this thing can drive the people to work, what is wealth, wealth is the fruits of the people's labor, if people do not work, do not work, do not develop, then there will be no money, the essence of money is the exchange of people's labor results.

In the past, bartering did not have the feeling of money at that time, but can you say that those people had no wealth in their hands at all?

Then the people's money became shells, and what does the value of shells represent, it represents scarcity, it can be converted, this is the meaning of money.

Because I exchanged a sheep for the two of you apples, and you can't find them, what should I do, give me the apple tree?

So find a thing to convert, this thing can be a stone, it can be a shell, but it can be a metal, it can even be paper, in fact, the purpose is to convert, as long as it is convenient to convert, the big guys will recognize, anything.

Therefore, an important responsibility of the government is to let the money circulate, because only with money can the people be stimulated to consume, and when the people spend money, the commercial economy will naturally increase.

This is also the reason why when there is an economic crisis, or some other change, the government will always come up with a policy such as 'big release' to stimulate economic recovery.

And Li Chaosheng is also doing this, grain is an important strategic material in Lantian, if he transports a large amount of grain outside Lantian, he can definitely make a windfall, but Li Chaosheng left a large amount of grain in Lantian locality, the first is to ensure the food security of the local people, and the second is to bring down the price of grain, so that the people have spare money in their hands.

What will ordinary people do when they have spare money in their hands?

First of all, eat something good, then Lantian's catering industry will develop, and secondly, buy some good clothes and wear some good, which can help the rapid development of Lantian textile industry.

Eat well, dress well, what's next?

Living in a good house can develop the construction industry in Lantian, and finally it is necessary to have entertainment, so that the entertainment industry and tourism in Lantian can be greatly developed.

The development of these industries can drive the relief of the surrounding areas, so that the prosperity of Lantian is just around the corner.

The prosperity of Lantian means that Lantian will have a lot of taxes, more taxes, whether it is people's livelihood, military, education, medical care, and various policies to benefit the people will also be introduced one by one, so it is a virtuous circle.

Lantian is getting better step by step, and the Ming outside is festering step by step, it won't be long before Lantian is the orthodoxy of the world, and Daming will be abandoned by the people, no way, who doesn't want to live a good life?

This is Li Chaosheng's administrative strategy, the territory is not to be defeated, but the people are begging for themselves to accept, what is the army for? The army is used to protect these people who ask for help.

As more and more people ask for help, their territory will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more troops, and when the people of the world need Li Chaosheng to help them govern, then Li Chaosheng will be the co-ruler of the world.

Li Chaosheng never thought about rebellion, and rebellion was for people who had no technical content, such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and these rogues were also suitable for doing some rough work.

And Li Chaosheng, that is a person who does fine work, and what he does is people's hearts.

Consolidating the country does not take the risk of mountains and rivers, and the world does not take the benefits of military revolution, this is not an empty slogan, but what Li Chaosheng really wants to do.

Only by doing this, can Li Chaosheng achieve the heart of the world.

Caring for the people's livelihood is an important lesson for Li Chaosheng, because Li Chaosheng can see the real life of the people under his rule.

Li Chaosheng looked at the grain hoards of these two people and said to the shopkeeper: "Give me two buckets." ”

Bucket is still the standard unit of measurement in this era, although Li Chaosheng released the unit of measurement of the catty, but the common people still like to use the bucket, so the bucket of the grain store is weighed by the standard.

A bucket can weigh ten catties of corn.

When the man heard this, he immediately climbed the ladder and went up to the grain hoard, took out a boxy wooden box, filled it with a bucket, and then scraped the top layer of corn kernels with a scraper.

After two buckets down, he looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Do you need to weigh the guest officer, our bucket is ten catties, of course, sometimes there will be a little discrepancy." ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said, "Then weigh it." ”

Seeing this, the shopkeeper waved his hand and asked the man to take the pocket, usually the people do not weigh it, because they recognize the bucket, a bucket of corn eighty wen they recognize the head, so they according to a bucket of corn eighty wen what is counted.

Of course, there are also some new-school scholars, such as those from Lantian Academy, these students like to use catties to buy food, which is handed over by Lantian Academy.

Li Chaosheng has always wanted to reunify weights and measures, cancel all the lifting stones used in the past, and unify them into unified units such as catties, kilograms, and tons.

It's a pity that the common people are not used to it, and there is no way but to start teaching from Lantian Academy, and start to popularize from Lantian Primary School, Li Chaosheng believes that as long as these children grow up, slowly weights and measures will definitely be unified again.

The guy quickly took out a bag of two buckets of corn, and then took out the scale and weighed it for Li Chaosheng, more than twenty catties and a tael, and the shopkeeper saw this and ordered the guy to take out the two corns.

If you don't weigh it, the shopkeeper will give it to you, but if you weigh it, you can't have more than one or two, otherwise this is the flow of state-owned assets, which is an order issued by the Ministry of Commerce.

Li Chaosheng nodded when he saw this, Li Chaosheng agreed to this order, there is a limit to the benefits to the people, if the government gives benefits to the people regardless of the cost, the government will suffer a crisis.

But now the life of the people is really hard, and Li Chaosheng also wants to help them, so if you have it, you can take out more than you want, and forget it if you don't weigh it.

This is a loophole, Li Chaosheng knows, the Ministry of Commerce knows, the grain store also knows, everyone knows it, so they supervise each other to prevent things from deteriorating and becoming out of control.

And the above is also changing, unifying the meaning of weights and measures, which is a very important aspect.

Because of these tools for measuring volume, the error is very large, and there is no convenience of direct weighing of catties.

Li Chaosheng's series of operations made the 'Ma Gongzi' who followed him look stupid, she didn't understand Li Chaosheng's operation, and she didn't understand what the deep meaning behind Li Chaosheng's actions was, but she always felt that Li Chaosheng had an unclear sense of power, and every step was very profound.

Why doesn't this man look like an ordinary family, but like a talent who helps the world, and he doesn't look bad, then it would be good if Lantian County respected Li Chaosheng could have him like this, alas~

Thinking that he was a little distracted, Li Chaosheng asked about the price of grain in the grain store, and he was very satisfied, and his policy subordinates did not violate the yang and the yin, which was a good omen.

This means that Li Chaosheng's leadership group is still pure and efficient, and only a pure and efficient leadership group can be invincible when it starts to do things.

Some people say that fighting a war is a fight against national strength, and this sentence is true, but even more so when it comes to fighting the leadership group, due to the entanglement of various interests, a good policy may violate the interests of a certain interest group and cannot be implemented.

For example, Chongzhen and his Wencheng generals, such as Li Zicheng and his bandit leaders who support the army and respect themselves.

If you want to rank the policy implementation, Lantian is the first, the policy implementation is close to 100 percent, the Tartar second policy implementation rate can reach 780 percent, and the Liukou 3rd can reach 450 percent.

This is also the reason why Lantian is small, but it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the world's heroes.
