Three Kingdoms: I Am Not an Ant Thief Chapter 702, How to deal with it
If the local government really can't pay the money and mortgages the plantation to them, I'm afraid they will be even happier. After all, compared with the industrial and commercial industry where they are unfamiliar with the place, they are probably more interested in the plantation industry that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods!
It took him more than ten years of hard work to completely eradicate the powerful gentry of the Han Dynasty. However, if the manor is restored again, it won't be long before the powerful gentry and local powerful people will all come back, the feudal system will come back, and industrialization will begin.
Will be hindered, which is something Xu Wei cannot accept.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
He said with a cold face: "I'm giving an order to warn the local government that they are violating the land equalization order. If a noble family or powerful man appears again on someone's territory, go back to Jidu and become an ordinary citizen!"
"No!" Niu Gui said.
Xu Weidu said it was so serious that no one else dared to plead for mercy.
Xu Wei said to Niu Gui: "You sent the imperial censor to inspect the local projects, large and small. The scale of the projects that have been started is not allowed to expand. All projects that have not yet started are banned. The loan is refunded, and the remaining
Local governments are prohibited from starting any projects for one year, even if they borrow money from themselves!"
This is just overheating of investment. As long as the scale of investment is controlled, price increases can be controlled. For Xu Wei, this is a small matter. If it really causes an economic crisis, it will be a big trouble.
Niu Gui thought for a while and asked: "The three railways built by the imperial court must also be restricted?"
Xu Wei said helplessly: "Let's pause for now. Now we have to find ways to provide various materials to the Central Plains, so that all the steel in the steel plants can be used to make farm tools, steam engines, and mining machines. We have to find ways to increase and reduce the use of steel.
Increase coal, cement, and timber production and limit price increases!"
This wave of overheated investment is mainly due to the fact that productivity has not kept up with the speed of development. Hundreds of large and small projects have been carried out at the same time. The consumption of steel, coal, cement, and wood is not caused by demand. Using Xu Wei, we can only open source while doing business.
Throttle!
Xiangkai asked: "What should we do when people panic and rush to buy supplies?"
What happened in Yuzhou back then left a deep impression on them. They haven't reached this level yet, but it has already caused many people to worry.
Xu Weidao: "For workers in the city, guide them to visit our granaries and textile factories so that they don't have to worry about supplies! If they really want to rush to buy, it will be equivalent to helping us clear our inventory!"
Xu Wei has absolute confidence in this. There are 1 billion stones of grain in Daqian's granary, and 30 million pieces of woolen cloth are used as collateral for money in the money shop! And the things that the people can snap up are food and clothing. But...
These two kinds of materials have long been overcapacity.
After Xu Wei said this, everyone stabilized and started to act according to Xu Wei's orders.
At the same time, the people in Jidu were panicking. Fortunately, the officials followed Xu Wei's order and led the people to see the granaries and textile mills. Everyone felt relieved when they saw that there were no problems with these two places.
After the scholars in Jidu learned about the economic problems in Daqian, they felt a little anxious and excited at the same time. They also gathered together to discuss this issue!
Han Rong was the first to speak: "I know that if Daqian builds a country based on industry and commerce, something will definitely happen. Businessmen value profits and are ruthless and unjust. How can a country that values businessmen avoid chaos?"
This move was a blow to a lot of people, especially after Xu Wei confiscated their land, the only industry they could invest in was industry and commerce. Han Rong scolded his own people all over.
Xu Shao immediately retorted: "You are so blind now that you don't even know the whole story, so you are talking nonsense here! The Daqian court has already said that the reason for this price rise is overheating of investment and price increase. The increase is not big, it’s just doubled. In the old Han Dynasty, this was not a problem. Prices in the Han Dynasty did not double several times that year. This is because the government cares about the people and only pays attention to this situation!"
The scholars present were all convinced by Xu Shao's words. Prices in Daqian, which had been stable for ten years, were an anomaly to them. In the Han Dynasty, prices were low in good years and high in famine years. In that year, the Chang'an rebellion intensified. They have seen droughts, locust plagues, and food prices soaring hundreds of times. At this point, pork has increased by 50%, and the food has not even moved at all. In their eyes, this is not even a crisis!
Zhao Qi knocked on his cane and said: "I asked you not to quarrel, but to come up with a way to deal with current problems! The reason why our Confucianism can stand out from hundreds of schools of thought is because we can solve practical problems. , if we find a way to calm down Daqian’s overheated investment, we can change Lei Gong’s view of us!”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Zhao Qi had invited them together not to watch the excitement, but to think of a solution!
So the scene fell silent, and everyone was thinking, what are the solutions to such problems in the sages' books?
But what troubles them is that the sages’ books don’t seem to say how to solve this problem!
Cai Yong said: "As long as we educate the people to cultivate their moral character, prevent them from rushing to buy supplies, and severely punish profiteers, prices will naturally come down."
Xu Shao sneered and said: "You might as well talk about governing by doing nothing, which will be more effective, no! Governing by doing nothing is the Taoist method. If you really become an official, I am afraid that you will have sages and sages in the government offices in the future. It will not work at all." Take care of such mundane matters!"
At first, Xu Shao was promoted as the leader by several novel writers. He just refused. After all, he was a great scholar and wrote novels just to make a living. However, he did not expect that Cai Yong was bewitched by someone. He really thought he was He broke away from Confucianism and wrote articles in newspapers to ridicule him. Xu Shao was so angry that he joined some novelist and became their leader. The relationship between the two also became cold from then on, and they started to fight when they met.
Cai Yong wanted to fight back, but Zhao Qi stopped him and asked, "Is it true that you all have decades of experience in politics and can't even think of a solution?"
Zhuge Liang, who followed Sima Jing and the others, had an eye-opening experience. Firstly, he saw so many great scholars for the first time. Secondly, he saw the spectacle of great scholars insulting each other. Thirdly, the great scholars seemed to have different abilities than he imagined.
The biggest among them!
Instead, he whispered to Pang Tong and Xu Shu who came with him: "What is happening now is somewhat similar to what Guanzi recorded back then!"
Pang Tong immediately said: "The importance of Guanzi? It's really similar! But the key is to find a way to solve the problem!"
