Tian Feng came to the council hall and bowed: "Enlighten the lord." ”
"This year's grain production is reduced, and the next year's grain harvest may be lost, people have been sent to Langmeng and Wei County to issue notices."
Zhao Feng nodded: "Focus on the situation in these two counties in the future." ”
Tian Feng waved his head: "Oh! ”
Then he added: "There is one more matter, which is very urgent. ”
"This is the follow-up after Taishi Dong Zhuo and a small amount of money."
Zhao Feng said curiously: "Oh? ”
"Tell me about it."
Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "This matter has serious consequences. ”
"As the lord said earlier, there is really a place, and a stone of grain has risen to tens of thousands of dollars."
"Fortunately, a few notices before the lord have made the state still under control for the time being."
"But it is precisely because the lord has set the price of grain in the state between 220 and 350 yuan."
"As a result, the difference in grain prices between us and the surrounding counties is very huge."
"Therefore, in the counties of Taiyuan County and Changshan County, a lot of businessmen from other places came."
"All of them were merchants who bought a lot of grain, cloth, wine, salt, etc., and used goods."
Zhao Feng was stunned when he heard this.
These businessmen, simply.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Feng can also understand.
Businessmen are profit-seeking.
Taiyuan County and Changshan County are cheap.
As long as these merchants come and buy a large amount of things, whether it is grain or cloth or not, as long as it is commonly used, they can buy it back.
As long as you go back and sell it, it will multiply many times in an instant, especially for food.
Zhao Feng finally understood why the status of businessmen was the lowest.
It is not unreasonable for scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants to be sorted in this way.
Zhao Feng has already gritted his teeth with hatred for these businessmen now.
I really want to order them directly and ban them completely.
But if you really want to do this, it is not conducive to the commercial development of the state, and it is a bit similar to the seclusion of the country in later generations.
Zhao Fengke knows very well how much economic income business will bring to the state.
Anyway, there are a lot of disadvantages.
But if you don't ban them, it seems that there is more harm!
This gave Zhao Feng a headache.
Sighed: "What is the current situation?" ”
Tian Feng groaned for a moment: "The situation is not good. ”
"Except for the price of grain set by the lord, it is fixed at three hundred and fifty dollars and one stone."
"All the other commonly used items have been multiplied several times."
"Moreover, many families began to buy grain from the common people at a price of three hundred and fifty yuan and one stone, and then secretly sold it to merchants from other places at a price several times higher."
"If this continues, the damage to the people of the state will be even worse than after the price control is lifted!"
Zhao Feng slapped himself angrily: "Bastard thing! ”
"Damn these merchants!"
Then he asked, "Why do ordinary people sell grain?" ”
"Didn't I issue a notice and tell me about it?"
"As long as ordinary people are not harmed, I don't believe that those families and heroes will be willing to suffer such a loss!"
Tian Feng shook his head: "How do ordinary people know about the outside world? ”
"In addition, those families and heroes who buy grain, as long as they grasp the upper limit of three hundred and fifty yuan and one stone of grain stipulated by the lord."
"They buy grain at the price of three hundred and fifty dollars and one stone, and naturally the people will agree to sell the grain."
Zhao Feng sighed secretly.
Managing a huge area is really not so easy.
The losses suffered by the people of Taiyuan County and Changshan County this time were basically caused by their own reasons.
Especially after the recent harvest of winter wheat, the people still have some surplus grain at home.
It is very normal to sell the surplus grain for money and then buy other daily necessities.
If there are other people who have other thoughts, such as coveting the price of three hundred and fifty dollars a stone, they sell all their grain.
Then I hope that in the future, the grain will return, and the previous price of two hundred and twenty dollars a stone, to make a profit from it.
Then these people may even have a problem with eating in the future.
Of course, this is just Zhao Feng's personal opinion.
As for whether there will be such people, Zhao Feng can't say for sure.
Anyway, Zhao Feng should be responsible.
Zhao Feng's mind was very confused, and there was nothing to do for a while: "Brother Yuan Hao." ”
"With the current situation of merging states, how should we deal with it?"
Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "Either prohibit foreign merchants from coming over to trade." ”
"Either the control of grain prices will be relaxed, and the prices of the state will be synchronized with other places."
Zhao Feng shook his head: "Prohibiting foreign merchants from trading will have a great impact on our future business development. ”
"Deregulation of grain prices is even more impossible."
"As long as the control is relaxed, not to mention that the price of a stone of grain will rise to tens of thousands, at least it will rise to five or six thousand yuan a stone."
"The people who sold the grain before would point at our noses and scold."
Tian Feng thought for a moment: "Since the control cannot be relaxed, then it can only prohibit foreign merchants from trading." ”
"The ban on foreign merchants to trade only has a great impact on our future business development."
"But if we don't ban it, it will already have a huge impact on our existing business."
"And all of them are bad influences."
"I can't even pass the current level, what are you talking about?"
"When prices stabilize across the country, it would be nice to lift the ban."
"But ......"
Zhao Feng hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
Tian Feng sighed: "However, even if we ban foreign merchants. ”
"But there will still be families and heroes who will trade with them."
"Because as long as the families and powerful families in the state buy grain from the people."
"They can be shipped elsewhere and sold!"
Zhao Feng pondered for a long time: "If you pass the change." ”
"In each county, set up grain banks."
"Then let the people store the grain in the grain store, according to the way of how much grain is profitable in a quarter, to put an end to the family, the strong, and buy the grain from the people."
"What does Brother Yuan Hao think?"
Tian Feng shook his head: "The lord has only been in charge of the state for less than a month. ”
"With the prestige of the lord, the people will not come to try it at all."
"It's useless."
"But this grain bank system can be established."
"Just like we collect food from the family and Haoqiang, it will play a very good role in our complete control of the state."
Zhao Feng, the grain bank, is completely a reference to the bank of later generations.
Of course, Zhao Feng also has to explore some specific details slowly.
Otherwise, if someone gets into a loophole, then Zhao Feng will even have the heart to die.
In fact, Zhao Feng wanted to refer to the grain store system of later generations.
It's a pity that the grain store except for Zhao Feng heard about it when he was very young, and then it was gone.
As for the specific efficacy of the grain store, Zhao Feng was not clear at all.
Not to mention how to build a grain store system.
