"The cheap grain hurts the farmers!"
“Therefore it is established to close positions, enter positions in good years, and open positions in lean years!”
In the study room, the empress' jade fingers kept tapping on the table.
She doesn't understand economics, let alone what a market is, but put it into perspective... money and food are consumed every day, and at the same time, they are produced periodically.
The grain warehouse is closed, and the money is transferred to the household department, forming a balance.
The difference is...
Grain consumption is real consumption, and the output cycle is stable. If there is an error in one cycle, if there is no external grain supplement, regional and regional grain prices will collapse. Grain can be adjusted from the past, but cannot be withdrawn from the future.
Money can, and the consumption of money is actually just a transfer. In any case, the copper coin itself does not disappear, but only moves from one party to another.
Nowadays, the Wu Dynasty's money and grain are stable, and grains are imported steadily due to the continuous and steady import of foreign grains. Regardless of the Song people's intentions behind the scenes, the Wu Dynasty has been able to maintain peace for more than forty years, and the contribution of the Song people and grain and grass cannot be erased.
In the future, even if the Song people no longer supply, the Wu Dynasty only needs to dig deep inside and seize the external inflow channels. There is nothing to worry about, but they are short of time now.
Not surprisingly, as the implementation of the work-for-relief program continues, the Wu Dynasty will be able to cultivate at least 600,000 acres of grain fields in northwest Qingzhou and southeastern Jizhou in the coming year. When the Laijiao Canal is opened, the wheat fields on both sides of the bank will also be transformed from middle and lower fields. On Zhongtian, the output per mu has increased by dozens of kilograms, not to mention other irrigation projects. In the next five to ten years, the overall grain production will increase significantly, and it is conceivable to fill the vacancy and even export it.
At the same time, Huang Yi should have led his team into Yingtian. There will definitely be results before the year, and it will most likely be beneficial to the Wu Dynasty.
The two are consistent. Even if the Song Dynasty draws the bottom next year, the Wu Dynasty will at most be in chaos for a while. If the people are united, some unrest should be eliminated before and after the winter break next year.
"The Ministry of Household's financial stability is not so much saving?"
The empress laughed at herself, "It's better to say she's stingy!"
After thinking about it over and over again, apart from this explanation, the empress could hardly think of any other reason.
"Whether it's frugal or stingy, it's absolutely impossible for the Wu Dynasty not to understand how to open source!"
"People are so poor that they are crazy, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and they are at risk of death... But the luck of the court is not good, modern reforms, and the use of force have long proven that using foreign troops is just poison to quench thirst. The more troops are used, the faster they die..."
Times have changed!
Although Kyushu has not yet been unified, the overall structure has tended to be stable. The territory of the Six Kingdoms has been in operation for a hundred years at a time and two to three hundred years at a time. The feudal states that exist in the cracks have also ruled for the same time, and the people of the region have long been loyal to them. No one dares to take the lead and wash away the imprint of the Han people, otherwise the Han people's theory would have disappeared into history long ago.
In the early years of the Wu Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty continued to unify Jizhou, swallow up Qingzhou, and then encroach on Bingzhou through the model of "fighting to support war". This was because the Kyushu was in chaos, people everywhere were in dire straits, and the mentality of peace and tranquility was flourishing. All parties only needed to maintain their strength, and even There was no need to mobilize troops, and outsiders came to seek refuge.
Nowadays, the weather is gone, and people and people are no longer there. It is not only useless to support war with war, but also triggers its own backlash.
No one likes war, including the Wu Dynasty.
The tragedy forty years ago interrupted the Wu Dynasty's momentum for world hegemony, and also awakened the minds of the warriors who had been eroded by military exploits.
"Open source?" The empress' eyebrows relaxed slightly.
What the equation gives is the open source method. This method may not completely fit the current situation of Wu Dynasty, but the direction method is correct.
"sister!"
Fang Fang pushed the door open and looked at his sister who was deep in thought, "Don't force yourself to think about some things. Eat something. Don't think about it, and don't ruin your brain and make you hungry!"
Today's barbecue is good. Wu Dynasty's resources are not abundant, but the warriors have a dedicated heart. If the quantity is small, they will do the best.
Leather, salt making, and barbecue are worthy of the three treasures of the Wu Dynasty.
The former two are sold in Kyushu, while the latter is popular in various parts of the Wu Dynasty. Not only can they make barbecue, but every barbecue has its own characteristics.
"You just lost your mind!"
The empress took the dinner plate and stuffed a piece of it into her mouth. "To put it bluntly, isn't your plan a replica of the liquidation system?"
"When there is an excess of grain, the excess grain will be collected and stored when the warehouse is closed. When there is a shortage of grain, it will be released!"
"Same with money!"
"The market is limited, and the means of regulation are limited. Without active intervention, the noble officials choose the method that is beneficial to themselves. They can only strictly control the materials and release them in limited quantities, thereby transferring the devalued value of copper to resources, thereby raising the value of copper." High prices!”
"However, money and food are different after all. In the short term, the amount of food is changing all the time, and the price is also changing, but the long-term total is relatively constant. On the one hand, it is difficult to eat, and it is difficult to reserve. Food that is more than three years old cannot be imported, and food that is more than five years old is a hamster. Don’t even eat it!”
"Copper, gold and silver are different. They are being produced every year. For hundreds of thousands of years, the total amount of gold, silver and copper has been astronomical. He cannot consume it and feels short of money, but someone has hidden it for him!"
"Every country has its own treasury, and powerful clans also have treasure rooms. Even when a woman gets married, she still has to pay for it. The common people have little to hide, but they can't stand up to the many common people!"
"The so-called open source means nothing more than two things: enriching the products, and taking out the hidden money!"
"A bank is a technique, not a Tao. Its function is to stimulate. Loans stimulate the abundance of products, and savings stimulate people to take out their money!"
"It takes time for the product to become abundant. It can be as short as half a year, as long as several years, or as long as ten years. It cannot be achieved overnight, but the hidden money is there. When the first person eats crabs and eats crab paste, the second person, The third, fourth... will appear soon, and the savings will skyrocket in a very short period of time!"
"Faced with the skyrocketing savings, banks are bearing the corresponding interest rates every moment. If we don't do anything to respond, this interest rate will crush everything!"
"Businessmen have no righteousness. When encountering this kind of situation, there are only three ways to deal with it!"
"Tearing things down to make up for things, when you can no longer play, when you run away... The smart people just take the money and run away... The last group of people bullied the superiors and concealed the truth, pulled people to join the team, and borrowed money at will!"
After a pause, the empress continued, "No matter what kind, the loss will be to the people, and the mess will be left behind!"
"So what Wu Chao can't do, if he does it, it will consume Baixin's confidence in the royal family and the court's prestige!"
"Relief for work, lending money in the name of the royal family, building large-scale projects, increasing land output through canals and irrigation projects, attracting businessmen through roads and inns, harvesting more taxes and commercial taxes, and finally Give the money back!"
"And all this takes time, so you set limits on the interest savings period and interest rate!"
Bang bang bang...
After hearing all this, Fang Fang couldn't help but applaud, "As expected of my sister, she has sorted out all this in a short time and has the brains. If I were that foolish king, I would never trap my sister in the palace, because the Minister of the Ministry of Finance wants to All you understand is these principles!”
Fang Fang didn't know any of the people in the six tribes of the Wu Dynasty, but he knew more or less what they were doing.
Especially the one from the household department, who came from the same Xia family in Zhongshan as Old Man Xia.
The Xia family of Zhongshan established themselves in business in their early years, and the Dai Zhen family became a wealthy man in the north during the Five Dynasties period. How could a descendant of a business family do things in the position of Minister of Household Affairs that are ridiculous?
