Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Li You squinted at Zhuge Liang, he also understood why Jian Yong sent Guo Kai back to Chang'an, and what could best relieve the fatigue in the young man's heart, of course it was the envious eyes of his peers.

Guo Kai is already a typical example of success and fame at a young age. Although he laughs at himself that he sleeps later than a dog, wakes up earlier than a chicken, and works hard every day, he can feel his conscience and say that Guo Kai already belongs to the group that stands at the top of the world. one of them.

What's more, this unlucky kid may have to stand until he is buried in the ground before he can get down from the peak.

"Are today's young people so useless?" Li You muttered a few words.

Li You said this to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is the most resistant young man Li You has seen for so many years. This is really durable and especially outstanding.

Zhuge Liang didn't answer after listening. Although he also felt that Guo Kai was a bit weak and couldn't bear the hard work, he was still more inclined to Jian Yong's proposal. After all, he was Jian Yong's right-hand man, and the other party's protection must be better than his own. .

"Then after Qingxu's accurate information arrives, copy a detailed content and send it to Zichuan. Zichuan will decide how to proceed in the next stage. I will send someone to pick it up from Guo Shengzhi. As for Qingxu's arrival in Chang'an Let's watch the logistics node here." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, and finally decided to be more conservative.

In fact, Zhuge Liang was a bit unsure about these two matters. The Qingxu grain price involved Chen Xi's previous plan, the layout of logistics nodes, and also related to the next plan, so it was still up to Chen Xi to solve this.

Although Zhuge Liang thinks that the government will collect grain indefinitely, and then expand Yanzhou's agriculture and grain, increase the supporting facilities of the grain industry, absorb the agricultural population, digest the grain output, increase the output of various non-staple food, grow the industrial link, and increase consumption. , can solve the problem to a great extent...

What's more important is that this solution provides jobs, consumes food output, and benefits the common people. In addition, this low-end non-staple food processing can penetrate to the village level, which is just used to improve Chen Xi's second local industry in the five-year plan.

As for the shortcomings, I think it is the problem of logistics and transportation, but Qingxu is the place where Liu Bei started. The supporting facilities are not only the best, but they are definitely better than many places. In addition, after such a construction, there is a demand for it, so let’s promote it Can be faster than other places.

From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a linkage.

Of course, these things, after two laps in Zhuge Liang's mind, were suppressed by Zhuge Liang. From Zhuge Liang's point of view, it is better for Chen Xi to confirm this kind of thing. After Chen Xi gives a reply, he will look at his own. Whether you think is correct or not, there is no need to rush for a while.

After Zhuge Liang and others finalized these, Zhuge Liang released the two letter eagles to the Ganges and the Indian Ocean to inform Chen Xi and Zhou Yu respectively.

By the time Xinying arrived at Chen Xi's side, Liu Bei and Chen Xi had already arrived at the Ganges River. To be precise, they had already arrived at the place where the Wenjia Dynasty used to be, that is, Bengal in later generations. If you go a little further, you can take a boat Yes, when we got here, we were actually very close to where Guan Yu and the others were.

Because at the port of the Ganges, if you can travel by boat, the speed will be much faster in an instant.

"What happened in the rear?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi's dismantling of the letter and asked strangely. At this time, there shouldn't be any major issues in the rear. Shouldn't Chen Xi have already dealt with everything before leaving?

Besides, isn't there Wenru, Zijing, Fengxiao, and Kongming in Chang'an? How could there be work that needs to be handled by Chen Xi so soon.

Chen Xi opened the letter, looked at it, and fell into deep thought. Although he knew that this day was only a matter of time, he never expected it to come so soon.

"What happened?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi's pensive expression, and asked again, "Could it be that you didn't finish part of the work when you ran away, and now that the blame has been thrown over, it's impossible to arrest you and go back to work ?”

Chen Xi's liver hurt a little from Liu Bei's words, and he glared at Liu Bei angrily. I can't be so unreliable as Chen Xi, so he explained concisely: "The price of Qingxu's grain is seventy renminbi."

Liu Bei didn't react when he heard the words. He was silent for a while, maybe because he had thought clearly, and immediately showed a look of anger, "How dare you even tamper with the official grain price? Life is too short, you have to take shortcuts!"

"Uh, Mr. Xuande, you misunderstood." Chen Xi said awkwardly, "The official grain collection price is 150 yuan, but the common people buy and sell it at 70 yuan, because the grain production is too high, the grain price will fall by itself, and it can be maintained at 70 yuan. Ten Wen, because the government routinely collects half of the grain every year."

"Wait, I'll ask a few young people." Liu Bei hurriedly left, Chen Xi glanced at it, but didn't say anything, let Liu Bei ask in person.

Liu Bei quickly reached the position of Brilliance and the others. At this time, Brilliance was bragging with Ni Yuan, Jiang Gong, and Ni Ying, and Zhang Du and Chen Hong were beside him.

This group of people saw that Liu Bei was about to get up, but Yang Tuo staggered at the moment when he got up, and then the group of people almost fell to the ground.

"What's the situation?" Liu Bei frowned at Brilliance's group, then looked at Yang Tuo, and then set his eyes on Ni Ying's group.

Yang Tuo is really strong, and his talent for movement has indeed reached a certain extreme, but to control the group of Brilliance, Sun Liang, and Ni Ying, what a joke!

In a one-on-one fight, it is not easy to seize the opportunity to control them. This group of people is a typical example of top-notch basic qualities. It is difficult to completely control an opponent who is stronger than oneself with combined talents. affected by power.

Therefore, Liu Bei couldn't understand how the group of Brilliance could be controlled by Yang Tuo.

"We are playing with wooden figures with Younger Brother Yang." As expected of a super senior centurion, Yu Mang answered directly in a hurry.

In fact, they kidnapped Yang Tuo and asked Yang Tuo to control them to walk, so that they could brag and fart at night and sleepwalk during the day. Who let Yang Tuo control a group of Qingyan veterans at that time, and turned back to Qingyan's The boss came and kidnapped Yang Tuo decisively.

Yang Tuo said that his skills are not as good as people's, all right, you brag at night, and I come to chase the corpse during the day, counting yourself as unlucky, there is no way, no matter how strong Yang Tuo is, he can't beat such a group of people.

Yang Tuo might have beaten some of them if he really wanted to fight one-on-one, but he couldn't stand the fact that these guys on the opposite side were unreasonable and rushed forward. After all, half of this group of people were old yellow scarves. A group of people will never let the other party single out one.

Therefore, even if Yang Tuo is very brave, he can't solve any problems, not to mention that he is in the wrong, so he helps these people drive away corpses every day recently.

Liu Bei glanced at Yu Mang suspiciously, but didn't ask further, wasn't it just for fun, Jiang Xi and Jiang Guang's frequent fights were just like that, forget it, don't bother to care about it.

"How much is the price of grain in Qingzhou recently?" Liu Bei asked casually.

Brilliance didn't know, so, "One hundred and fifty pennies a stone, the official price has been like this all these years, it hasn't changed, it's always been one hundred and fifty pennies a stone."

"Really?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, "What's the price among folks?"

Sun Liang, Ni Ying and the others scratched their heads, "Prices in the private sector are falling every year. This year, during the summer grain season, it cost more than 70 cents a stone."

"Lu Kuan, where is the food price in Xuzhou?" Seeing Lu Kuan not far away, Liu Bei immediately looked at Lu Kuan and asked, "Official and private."

"The government is one hundred and fifty, and the folks are in their seventies when I came here. We basically sell grain to the government. If you want to buy it, you can just buy some in the market. In fact, the grain is the same, and it is all new grain." Lu Kuan explained that he really didn't think there was a problem.

"Don't you think there is a problem?" Liu Bei looked at the group of people and asked.

"No." Ni Ying and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. Is there any problem?

"Haven't you ever considered why the grain price in the market is 70?" Liu Bei asked.

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay. They really hadn't thought about this sand sculpture problem.

"Then you didn't feel a loss when you sold the grain?" Liu Bei asked a little strangely, "The official one is one hundred and fifty, and the market is seventy. Don't you feel distressed when you sell the grain?"

"No." Everyone replied in unison.

"Understood." Liu Bei nodded, and then left, leaving a group of people looking at each other, not understanding what happened.

"The captain came to ask what happened to the grain price?" Ni Ying asked a little strangely.

"I don't know." Brilliance shook his head and said, "Is there a problem with food prices?"

"No problem." Shen Quan scratched his head and said, a group of people were very puzzled by this.

For these people, the price of grain is really no problem. What’s wrong with seventy or so pennies a stone? When I bought it, it was at this price, and when I sold it, it was also at this price. The official price of one hundred and fifty pennies is the official grain collection. Welfare, the market price is more than 70 yuan, no problem.

After all, these people who have suffered a lot have taboos about high food prices, but they have no special understanding of low food prices. Food prices are low, and they can buy food at any time. Isn't that just enough to have enough food? As for those who don’t have money, isn’t it normal practice to exchange grain for vegetables and fruits in the village? As long as there is no shortage of food, you can live without money.

In fact, even in the next two thousand years, the merchants who bring watermelons to the village to sell melons in summer will still accept food as payment...

Therefore, these people really don't think there is any problem with the low food price. After all, in the countryside, when the food price is low, when bartering, the prices of other things will also be lowered.

When I exchange a catty of wheat for a catty of watermelon, I don’t care how much the watermelon in your field is, how much is the wheat? No matter, just ask directly, one catty for one catty, can you change it.

Most of the people in the village changed directly, and even most of the time, it was difficult to tell whether it was a profit or a loss in this kind of bartering, but basically both parties were satisfied.

Therefore, after Liu Bei asked this group of big leaders, he asked some veterans, and finally confirmed that Qingxu's grain price was the same, and these people really didn't think there was a problem with it.

Of course, some veterans who live in the city think that this official supply and marketing cooperative’s grain supply of one hundred and fifty pennies a stone all the year round is out of their minds. Wen Qian, save a lot of money or something.

"In short, the situation is like this. The people in Qingxu should know about this situation, but except for the people living in the city who feel that the food from the supply and marketing cooperatives is more expensive than the food from the countryside, no one else thinks there is a problem." Liu Bei found a large group of people After confirming, let Chen Xi know.

To be honest, after asking the question, Liu Bei was in a daze. He didn’t know whether to increase or decrease the price. The rural area would like to raise the price of grain to 150, but those who live in the city need to eat. They found that there is The new grain worth more than seventy pennies a stone was bought in the countryside.

What is this, Liu Bei is already in a daze, he can't figure out what's going on with the current prices at all.

"It's not a problem at all. I collect grain to equalize the grain price. It's okay. I don't collect half of the grain. I'm afraid Qingxu's grain price will drop to forty or fifty yuan. Cheap grain hurts farmers. There were no such things before." That’s all for special products, now that products that require money enter the countryside, food prices, as an important component, must have a comprehensive price.” Chen Xi said as a matter of course.

Theoretically speaking, it is very difficult for such a situation to occur in a feudal agricultural society, because there are too few materials that can be circulated, and ordinary rural people basically do not need to buy any messy things, so most of the time they rely on food to exchange what they need Therefore, low food prices will only be more beneficial to the people than high food prices.

Because normally speaking, in the small-scale peasant economy of the feudal agricultural society, men farming and women weaving are enough to solve most problems. At this time, a family’s main concern is actually the problem of food and clothing, and other consumption is very little. .

More importantly, these small amounts of consumption can actually be solved locally by exchanging food for purchase. Therefore, for a feudal society, although there will be incidents of low grain prices that hurt farmers in the feudal society, the low output of the agricultural society exceeds Low risk resistance, more grain output will only be better than less grain output, and whether it will hurt or not is a question of money, not a question of life.

It can be said that in the feudal era, considering such troubles already belonged to extravagant happiness.

However, when Chen Xi understood the nature of his spiritual talent, he realized that this day would come. To be honest, it was reasonable for Chen Xi to wait until now.

It's just that this time is rather awkward. Chen Xi has arranged other things beforehand, but Zhuge Liang and others have exposed the matter behind him. If Chen Xi wants to deal with it, he has to wait until he comes back next year. The exchange method between money, grain and goods.

"Is there any solution?" Liu Bei asked, frowning.
