Li You glanced sideways at Zhuge Liang. He also understood why Jian Yong sent Guo Kai back to Chang'an. What could best relieve the fatigue in the young man's heart? Of course, it was the envious looks of his peers.
Guo Kai is already a typical example of someone who achieves fame and success at a young age. Although he laughs at himself for sleeping later than a dog, getting up earlier than a chicken, and working hard every day, he can honestly say that Guo Kai already belongs to the group of people who stand at the top of the world.
One of the people.
What's more important is that this unlucky kid may need to stand until he is buried before he can come down from his peak position.
"Are today's young people so useless?" Li You muttered.
Li You said this to Zhuge Liang. The most resistant young man Li You has seen in so many years is Zhuge Liang. He is really durable and extremely good.
Zhuge Liang didn't reply after hearing this. Although he also felt that Guo Kai was a little weak and could not withstand this kind of 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 was definitely better than his own.
.
"Then wait for the accurate information from Qingxu to arrive, and 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 up Guo Shengzhi. As for Qingxu's arrival in Chang'an
Let’s take a look at the logistics nodes here.” Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, and finally decided to be more conservative.
Zhuge Liang was actually a bit unsure about these two matters. The Qingxu grain price involved Chen Xi's previous plans and logistics node layout, as well as the next plan, so this matter was left to Chen Xi to solve by himself.
Although Zhuge Liang thinks that the official harvest of grain is unlimited, he will then expand Yanzhou's agricultural grain industry, increase the supporting facilities of the grain industry, absorb the agricultural population, digest grain output, increase the output of various non-staple foods, lengthen the industrial links, increase consumption, etc.
, can solve the problem to a great extent...
What's more important is that this solution provides jobs, consumes food output, and benefits the people. In addition, this low-end non-staple food processing can penetrate into the village level, which is just used to complete Chen Xi's second plan.
local industries within the five-year plan.
As for the shortcomings, it seems to be a problem of logistics and transportation. However, as the place where Liu Bei started, Qingxu's supporting facilities are not only the best, but they are definitely better than many places. In addition, after such construction, there will be demand for it, so we can promote it.
It's faster than other places.
From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as a kind of linkage.
Of course, these things were eliminated by Zhuge Liang after they circulated in Zhuge Liang's mind twice. In Zhuge Liang's view, it is up to Chen Xi to confirm this kind of thing himself. After Chen Xi gives a reply, he will look at his own.
Whether your thinking is correct or not, there is no need to rush.
After Zhuge Liang and others finalized these, Zhuge Liang released two faith eagles to the Ganges River and the Indian Ocean to notify Chen Xi and Zhou Yu respectively.
By the time the letter eagle arrived at Chen Xi's side, Liu Bei and Chen Xi had almost arrived at the Ganges River. To be precise, they had arrived at the place where the Wenjia Dynasty once stood, which was later Bangladesh. If they went a little further, they could take a boat.
Well, when we got here, we were actually very close to where Guan Yu and others were.
Because when you arrive at the Ganges River port, you can take a boat and the speed will increase instantly.
"What happened in the rear?" Liu Bei asked strangely as he watched Chen Xi open the letter. At this time, there should be nothing major in the rear. Ordinarily, shouldn't Chen Xi have handled all the matters before departure?
Besides, aren't there Wenru, Zijing, Fengxiao, and Kongming in Chang'an? How could there be work that needs Chen Xi to handle so quickly?
Chen Xi opened the letter, read it, and fell into deep thought. Although he had known for a long time that this day would come only a matter of time, he never expected that it would come so quickly.
"What happened?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi's thoughtful expression and asked again, "Is it possible that you didn't finish part of the work when you ran away? Now that the blame has been thrown over, I can't catch 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 think Chen Xi is so unreliable, so he explained concisely and concisely: "The price of Qingxu's grain is seventy cents."
Liu Bei didn't react when he heard the words. He was silent for a while. Maybe he thought clearly. He immediately showed an angry look on his face, "You even dare to tamper with the official food prices? Life is short, you have to take shortcuts!"
"Uh, Mr. Xuande, you misunderstood." Chen Xi said awkwardly, "The official price of grain collection is one hundred and fifty cents, but the common people's transaction price is seventy cents. Because the grain output is too high, the price of grain has fallen on its own and can be maintained at seventy cents.
Ten coins is because the government routinely collects half of the grain every year."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask some Qingxu people to ask." Liu Bei left in a hurry. Chen Xi glanced at it and didn't say anything. It would be better to let Liu Bei go and ask in person.
Liu Bei quickly reached the position of Hua Chen and others. At this time, Hua Chen was bragging with Ni Yuan, Jiang Gong, Ni Ying, and Zhang Du and Chen Hong.
This group of people saw Liu Bei preparing to stand up, but when he stood up, Yang Tuo staggered beside him, and then the group of people almost fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" Liu Bei looked at Hua Chen and the group of people and frowned, then looked at Yang Tuo, and then turned his eyes on Ni Ying and the group of people.
Yang Tuo is really strong, and his linkage talent has indeed reached a certain extreme, but to control people like Hua Chen, Sun Liang, and Ni Ying, what a joke!
When singled out, it is not easy to seize the opportunity to control them. This group of people are all typical examples of outstanding basic quality. It is difficult to completely control opponents who are stronger than themselves with their combined talents. If they are controlled by force, they will even be defeated by the other party.
Affected by power.
Therefore, Liu Bei couldn't understand how the Hua Chen group could be controlled by Yang Tuo.
"Brother Yang and we are playing with wooden figures." Yu Mang is worthy of being a super senior centurion, and he gave a direct answer in a hurry.
In fact, a few of them kidnapped Yang Tuo and asked Yang Tuo to use linkage to control their walking, so that they could brag and fart at night and sleepwalk during the day. Who made Yang Tuo control a group of Qingyan's veterans at that time, and then Qingyan's
The boss came and kidnapped Yang Tuo decisively.
Yang Tuo said that his skills were not as good as others, okay, you brag at night, and I will drive away the corpses during the day, so I am unlucky, there is nothing I can do, no matter how strong Yang Tuo is, he can't beat such a group of people.
If he really wanted to fight in a duel, Yang Tuo might have beaten a few of them, but he couldn't resist the unreasonable behavior of the guys on the other side and swarmed him. After all, half of these people were old Yellow Turbans, and they were very disciplined in their actions, allowing their opponents to challenge him in a single fight.
As a group, they will never let each other single out one person.
Therefore, even if Yang Tuo is very brave, he cannot solve any problems, not to mention that he is the one who is wrong in the first place, so he has been helping these people drive away corpses every day recently.
Liu Bei glanced at Yu Mang suspiciously and didn't ask any further questions. Isn't it just for fun? Jiang Fei and Jiang Guang were fighting every once in a while. It was just like that. Forget it, he didn't bother to care.
"What's the latest price of food in Qingzhou?" Liu Bei asked casually.
Hua Chen didn't know why, "One hundred and fifty coins per stone. The official price has been like this all these years. It hasn't changed. It has always been one hundred and fifty coins per stone."
"Really?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, "What's the private price?"
Sun Liang, Ni Ying and others scratched their heads, "Private prices have been falling every year. This year's summer grain price was more than seventy cents per stone."
"Lu Kuan, what's the price of grain in Xuzhou?" Liu Bei saw Lu Kuan not far away, and immediately looked at Lu Kuan and asked, "Official and private."
"The official government was 150, and the private sector was more than 70 when I came here. We basically sell grain to the government. If you want to buy it, just buy some in the market. In fact, the grain is the same, it is all new grain."
Lu Kuan opened his mouth to explain that he really didn't think there was a problem.
"Don't you think there's a problem?" Liu Bei asked, looking at the group of people.
"No." Ni Ying and others looked at each other. Is there any problem with this?
"Have you never considered why the price of food in the market is 70?" Liu Bei asked.
A group of people looked at each other in confusion. They really hadn't thought about this silly question.
"Then don't you feel a loss when you sell grain?" Liu Bei asked strangely, "The official price is one hundred and fifty, but the market price is seventy. Don't you feel distressed when you sell grain?"
"No." Everyone responded in unison.
"Understood." Liu Bei nodded, and then left, leaving a group of people looking at each other, not understanding what happened.
"The lieutenant came over to ask what happened to the price of food?" Ni Ying asked strangely.
"I don't know." Hua Chen shook his head and said, "Is there a problem with food prices?"
"It's no problem." Shen Quan scratched his head and said. A group of people were very confused about this.
For these people, the price of grain is really not a problem. What’s wrong with more than 70 cents per stone? It was the same price when I bought it, and it was the same price when I sold it. The official 150 cents was the official grain collection.
Welfare, the market price is more than 70 yuan, no problem.
After all, these people who have endured hardship have taboos about high food prices, but they have no special understanding of low food prices. If food prices are low and food can be bought at any time, wouldn't it be enough to have enough to eat? As for money, there is no need to worry about it.
Regarding money, isn’t it normal practice for the village to exchange grain for vegetables and fruits? As long as there is no shortage of food, one can survive without money.
In fact, even two thousand years later, merchants who brought watermelons to the village to sell melons in the summer would accept payment in grain...
Therefore, these people really don't think there is any problem with low food prices. After all, in rural areas, when food prices are low, when bartering, the prices of other things will also be lowered.
When I exchange one pound of wheat for one pound of watermelon, do I care how much the watermelons in your field cost or how much the wheat costs? No, I just ask directly, can you exchange one pound for one pound?
Most people in the village just swapped. Most of the time, it's hard to tell whether they made a profit or a loss by bartering, but basically both parties are satisfied.
Therefore, after Liu Bei asked these big leaders, he also asked some veterans, and finally determined that the price of food in Qingxu was like this, and these people really didn't think there was a problem with it.
Of course, some veterans living in the city will think that the official supply and marketing cooperative's annual supply of 150 dan per dan of grain is a screw up.
Make money, save a lot of money and so on.
"In short, the situation is like this. The people of Qingxu should all know this situation, but except for the people living in the city who feel that the food from the supply and marketing cooperative is more expensive than the food in the countryside, no one else thinks there is a problem." Liu Bei found a large group of people.
After confirming, come and inform Chen Xi.
To be honest, after asking, Liu Bei was actually confused. He no longer knew whether to raise or lower prices. The rural areas were eager to increase the price of food to 150, but those living in the city needed to eat. They found that there were
I went to the countryside to buy new grain for more than seventy cents per stone.
What does this mean? Liu Bei is already confused. He has no idea what the current price situation is.
"It's absolutely no problem. I'm just collecting grain to get the price right. It's no problem. If I don't collect half of the grain, I'm afraid the price of grain in Qingxu will drop to forty or fifty cents. The low price of grain hurts farmers. We didn't have that in the past.
That’s it for special products. Now that products that require money are entering the countryside, food prices, as an important component, must have a comprehensive price." Chen Xi said matter-of-factly.
Theoretically speaking, it is difficult for this 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 in exchange for what they need.
Other daily necessities are enough, so 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 feudal agricultural society, men farming and women weaving are enough to solve most problems. At this time, a family's main consideration is actually the issue of food, clothing and clothing, and other consumption is very small.
.
What's more important is that these small amounts of consumption can actually be solved locally by exchanging grain for purchase. Therefore, for feudal society, although there will be incidents of low grain prices and harm to farmers during the grain harvest, in the agricultural society, the low output is super high.
With low risk resistance, more food output is better than less food output. Injury or not is a matter of money, not life.
It can be said that in the feudal era, considering this kind of trouble was considered a luxury of happiness.
However, when Chen Xi understood the nature of his spiritual talent, he realized that this day would come early. To be honest, Chen Xi felt that it was reasonable to delay it until now.
It's just that this time is rather awkward. Chen Xi has arranged other things on the front foot, but Zhuge Liang and others exposed the matter on the back foot. If Chen Xi wants to deal with it, he has to wait until he comes back next year. After all, what is going to affect this matter is not the price of food, but the price of food.
How to exchange money, food and materials.
"Is there any solution?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.
