When Li Yan came over, Liu Zhenghui was a little surprised, but he was fine. Liu Zhenghui, who was over sixty this year, was much calmer. Naturally, he would not be surprised to see such a young lady.
Although what the other party proposed in the court... really made people feel... scalp numb.
"What advice does Li Shangshu come here today?" Liu Zhenghui asked.
"Liu Shangshu, we should carry out joint restructuring with people from the Ministry of Commerce. After the establishment of the Central Bank, Liu Shangshu's National Asset Management Department can also start work. Some parts that were originally national assets should be established as commercial banks to operate." Li Yan He spoke.
"For example?" Liu Zhenghui was stunned for a moment. To be honest, although the department has been reorganized, he, the minister, is actually a little confused about his work, mainly because he has never been exposed to it before. During this period, he has been learning about this country. Asset Management Department, he himself is not unfamiliar with commercial banks, but he has not thought of which industries are suitable for it.
"Datang National Grain Reserve Management Company." Li Yan said.
"What is this?" Liu Zhenghui was a little confused.
"After the establishment of this trading bank, it will centrally manage all strategic reserves of the Tang Dynasty, and it will be responsible for its own profits and losses while also undertaking certain national tasks. For example, it will build granaries in important places across the country to store grain. That is now What His Highness King Qin has already done.”
“After establishing the granary, the Tang Grain Storage Company can purchase private grain when grain prices are low to stabilize grain prices for the people, and then sell grain at a meager profit or even a loss when grain prices fluctuate to suppress grain prices. "
"It is not purely for the purpose of making money, but it can pursue profits within a limited scope. In addition, for example, when a disaster area is hit by a disaster and the state allocates grain reserves, the national treasury will invest in the purchase of grain from Tang Grain Storage Bank at market prices."
"Of course, at the end of each year, Tang Grain Reserve not only has to pay taxes to the Ministry of Taxation, but also needs to hand over profits to the Ministry of Finance."
"In addition, since it is related to grain, it can also operate in industries such as oil extraction. Currently, His Highness has promoted rapeseed oil in different places such as Xizhou. These can be used to extract oil. With the development of Datang Grain If there is no shortage, some people’s land will definitely need to be replaced with cash crops.”
"And people will also pursue a better life. There will definitely be a market for the pressed rapeseed oil by then." Li Yan said with a smile.
"This is okay." Liu Zhenghui's eyes lit up. Although he said he had no hope of making a profit, after all, this was a large commercial bank affiliated with his country's asset management department, and it was in charge of the country's grain reserves! This is very important to see! At least his department is not useless.
"Then please Liu Shangshu and come with me to the Ministry of Commerce." Li Yan said with a smile.
"No problem." Liu Zhenghui agreed immediately. Although the recent restructuring of three provinces and six ministries has caused almost all officials in the entire court to be busy, and a large number of new officials have been added to the court, but in fact not everyone is Busy.
For example, Liu Zhenghui's department is not busy, mainly because he doesn't know what he is busy with. He has been busy these days and still feels flustered.
Everyone is busy and you are free, so why don't you panic? That's why he found a lot of books to learn this knowledge.
Now I finally have something to do.
When Li Yan took Liu Zhenghui to the Ministry of Commerce, it was now north of Guannai Road, in Yanzhou and Zhidan. In later generations, this place belonged to the northwest region of Yan'an, and it was also one of the hinterlands of the Loess Plateau. Although during the Tang Dynasty, the water and soil damage here was not serious.
But the mountains here already have the prototype of thousands of ravines in later generations.
In Houjiagou Village, all the villagers gathered together today.
"Everyone, the head of the township convened Li Zheng for a meeting two days ago. The focus was on the farming issues here. A lot of land on our mountains is temporarily not allowed to be cultivated for farming. Only trees are allowed to be planted." The village elder Wu said loudly.
There are not many people in Houjiagou Village. There are only about 30 households in total. The three nearby villages have enough for more than 100 households to have one li. Although it is said that 100 households make up a li, it is not absolute. In many places, one li is right. It manages more than 100 households, mainly depending on the number of households in the village.
"What the hell! What are those people above thinking? If they are not allowed to farm, what will they eat?" Someone in the crowd immediately cursed loudly.
It is not a precedent for later generations to scold officials. It has been done since ancient times. Of course, it is just scolding in the village, and one does not dare to name people.
"You know nothing! Keep your mouth clean. This policy was proposed by His Highness King Qin." Old Wu immediately stared.
"Ah... it's the forehead! It's the forehead, that's wrong! Slap!" This man slapped himself twice without saying anything.
"Then His Highness King Qin must be right. Please tell me, village chief, what is the specific situation." Someone else immediately said.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin said, these mountains full of forests, these green waters and green mountains, are our mountains of gold and our mountains of silver. Why? Because it is good for us. His Highness the King of Qin said, the more land we cultivate, the more trees on these mountains will grow." If there are fewer trees, if it rains, the soil on the mountain will be washed into ditches. In the future, our mountain will collapse directly, and the water of the Yellow River will become muddy, and it is even possible that the land here will It's becoming more and more barren, and it will be a barren mountain in the future!" Village Elder Wu said.
"Ah, what His Highness King Qin said is true! I remember when I was a child, there were not so many ravines in the mountains." An old man in his fifties or sixties immediately said loudly.
"What you're talking about is nonsense. Your Highness, King Qin, is a god in the sky. Why doesn't he know that he came down to earth? The problem is that if you don't plant food, you can't eat the trees you plant." Someone else asked.
"It's simple. It's like this. His Highness the King of Qin has come up with a way for us to delay His Highness's luck. That is to plant fruit trees on this mountain!" the village chief said directly.
"Someone will come to harvest these fruit trees. This kind of fruit tree is called an apple tree. It may not be profitable in the first few years, but it will definitely be profitable in the future. In addition, each of our townships has different arrangements. "
"Another thing is that if you think you can't stay there, you can declare to the township and then migrate." Village elder Wu said another thing.
"The place where immigrants are migrating is the Houtao area, which is where Jiuyuan is located outside the Great Wall. It is rich in water and grass and is also very suitable for growing food. Each household with 100 acres of land can be allocated 50 acres of Yongye field! As for safety issues, everyone Don’t worry, not to mention that it’s all the territory of the Tang Dynasty now, and His Highness has said that he will build a city and garrison troops there!”
