After dinner, it was time for Shanbei Brother Wang’s exam.
Tang Ping sent the questions he had prepared long ago to his eldest brother Shanbei.
"Why is it different from what you said during the day?" Shanbei's elder brother Wang was a little confused.
"If the content of the test is exactly the same as the content of the lecture, why do you need to come here?" Hui Ri, the pharmacist, stared at his eyes and said with hatred: "Adapt it, you just need to adapt what we said, and you can easily get it." Answer!"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang scratched his head. God knows how much effort it took him to memorize what the two old men talked about today.
As a result, at night, he actually said that he wanted to change things!
However, several sharp eyes in the room were scanning him, which made him dare not make a mistake, so he could only bite the bullet and answer.
Fortunately, today Tang Ping asked him if he could pretend that he didn't understand much about both sides. Now there is no need to pretend at all.
Indeed, he didn’t learn much from what the two old men said!
Not long after, the eldest brother Shanbei raised his hand.
"What's wrong?" Medicine Master Hui Ri asked.
"It's done...it's done..." Shanbei's eldest brother Wang replied.
"Done? So fast?" Pharmacist Hui Ri was overjoyed. Could it be that this kid finally got the idea today?
"Except for what I don't know how to do, everything else has been done." Shanbei's elder brother Wang lowered his head and added.
Tang Ping, the three of them and Li Bai walked over and looked at his papers. Good guy, there are five questions on each of the two papers, so they have answered one of them respectively. The other questions may only have one or two sentences, can you not be quick?
"you!"
Tang Ping looked at the two old men and was really afraid that they would get angry and cause high blood pressure and cerebral thrombosis, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, "No hurry, no rush, let's take a look first."
The four of them looked at the test paper that Brother Shanbei answered. To be honest, the question he answered was the most basic. It was basically copied from what the two of them taught during the day, so Brother Shanbei's answer was pretty good.
But after reading the next question, the blood pressure of the two old men rose. Even Tang Ping felt...
He silently took the piece of wood that the two old men at the table used as a ruler and handed it to them.
"Hey, hey, what do you mean!" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang saw Tang Ping's actions and said dissatisfied.
"You still have the nerve to say that!" Pharmacist Huiri raised the wood chip and said, "To this question, you can encourage people to cultivate farmland just by answering the agricultural tax at a rate of 15 to 1 tax. Why did you write "Undecided"?
The eldest brother Yamaback thought he was about to be beaten, so he quickly put his hands on his head, and then said hurriedly: "The land in Kanagawa Prefecture is fertile, while the land in Ibaraki Prefecture is barren, the coastline is long, and the terrain is mainly plateaus and lowlands. How can we treat them all as the same? Agricultural tax is collected at a rate of one for every fifteen taxes?”
Medicine Master Huiri was stunned by Shanbei's elder brother Wang's answer, and then asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Yamabei's eldest brother still raised his hands to cover his head and replied: "The land in Kanagawa County is fertile. It should be plowed deeply and carefully, and the manure should be added thickly, and labor should be used to increase the soil fertility. If the soil fertility is strong, the vegetation will be luxuriant. The harvest can produce a harvest of five acres in the middle field.”
"If we use the same tax as those in Ibaraki Prefecture with barren land, wouldn't everyone go to Kanagawa Prefecture to farm? So I think we should encourage the people of Kanagawa Prefecture to farm more intensively to increase the yield per mu, and at the same time increase the tax rate."
"And Ibaraki Prefecture should further reduce the tax rate, so that the people of Ibaraki Prefecture will not have to leave their homes and go to other places to compete for land."
After hearing this, the pharmacist Huiri looked at his elder brother Wang Shanbei, then at Tang Ping and Inugami Mita Shu.
First, he said to the eldest brother on the back of the mountain: "Put your hands down first."
Then he said to Tang Ping: "Please come out with me."
Tang Ping followed the pharmacist Hui Ri to the door of the room. The pharmacist Hui Ri asked, "Did you teach him this?"
Tang Ping shook his head. He was also surprised that the eldest brother Shanbei Wang could give such an answer.
"I just met you today, and then I proposed the competition. You also drew this farming thing yourself. How can I have time to teach him?"
After hearing Tang Ping's answer, Medicine Master Huiri glanced at Shanbei Brother Wang, who was sitting on his knees like an obedient baby in the room: "So he came up with this on his own?"
Tang Ping continued to shake his head: "I don't know, you are his teacher, you should know better."
Pharmacist Huiri nodded and returned to the room with Tang Ping without saying a word.
Seeing this, Inugami Mita Shu said: "Then let's see what I taught you!"
What he was explaining to Shanbei's eldest brother today was the disaster relief policy.
Likewise, the roll of Shanbei Brother Wang’s noodles is too horrible to look at.
Fortunately, with the pharmacist Eri in front of him, Inugami Mitsuda was not so excited. He just pointed at the question on how to stabilize prices and asked: "This question asks how to stabilize prices. What did you answer?"
"Your answer is that officials should be sent to record local commodity prices every year! Does this have anything to do with disaster relief? Didn't I say it before? When a disaster occurs, the prices of people's livelihood supplies must be suppressed to ensure people's livelihood."
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang saw that Inugami Mita Shu had no intention of beating him, and he became more courageous.
"But during this earthquake, many local governments posted notices strictly prohibiting food price increases. As a result, along the way we found that those governments that posted notices had food shortages."
"As for Niigata Prefecture Soga Kenichi and his fellow Soga clan, they themselves have a large amount of grain in hand, so Niigata Prefecture did not prohibit grain price increases. Instead, there is no shortage of grain, and grain prices are only a little higher than usual."
"So I think we should record local prices in normal times. When a disaster strikes, we can't just control prices. Instead, we should set a limit so that... we can..."
Having said this, Brother Shanbei didn't know what to say.
Li Bai said with a smile: "If the official lowers the price, the customers will not come. If there is a flood elsewhere, but the price here is low, who will be willing to sell it? If the dealers are not available, there will be no food in the territory, and the people in the upper households will have no money." Those who accumulate will be more afraid to come out."
"If officials don't underprice, they will naturally be happy where the benefits lie. When rich people are also afraid of being left behind, they will rush to make money first, and then the rice will come out unexpectedly. Is this what you want to say?"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang opened his eyes wide, looked at Li Bai with admiration and asked, "Are you asking me?"
"You...don't you mean that?" Li Bai was a little dumbfounded. Just now Shanbei's elder brother Wang Mingming mentioned the relationship between local prices and foreign materials.
“Is that what I mean?” Shanbei’s elder brother scratched his head in shame, “But I don’t know what you mean!”
Pharmacist Eri and Inugami Mita Shu first raised their hands to Li Bai and said, "Young Master is a great talent!"
The two of them naturally understood what Li Bai said just now, and it was a good summary of the relationship between prices and materials.
This was something neither of them had ever thought of, which was why they were so respectful to Li Bai.
But how did he come up with this big brother on the back of the mountain?
The two looked over.
