Chapter 673: Macroeconomic Control, Unlimited Acquisitions By The State [Please Subscribe, Please Su
After listening to Yan Changqing's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes fell silent.
As people who have experienced it, they know better than anyone else how attractive potatoes are to the common people.
Let's put it this way, after Zhu Yuanzhang had pacified the world and founded the Ming Empire for more than ten years, the people of the world had basically surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
If someone uses potatoes with a yield of thirty shi per mu as a temptation to attract the people and make them rebel with him.
As long as the people confirm that this is true, then they can at least win over millions of people and choose to rebel with him in order to get potatoes!!!
You must know that rebellion is a serious crime against the nine tribes!!!
Under such circumstances, millions of people are willing to risk their lives to follow. It is conceivable that potatoes, a high-yield food, are attractive to ordinary people.
Therefore, Yan Changqing said that in the future, people all over the world will inevitably plant potatoes in their fields regardless of getting potatoes. This matter is basically a certainty.
Unless the imperial court changes its mind and no longer plans to distribute potatoes to the people, no one can change the outcome of this future.
Even Yan Changqing, the "Shennong family" himself, couldn't do it!!!
After all, the reason why Yan Changqing's "Shennong" is "Shennong" is because he planted and cultivated potatoes with a yield of thirty stones per mu for the people all over the world [that's why he is respectfully called "Shennong" by the people all over the world. .
But if Yan Changqing, the "Shennong family", says that the potatoes are fake, or he doesn't distribute potatoes to the people to grow.
Then the people all over the world can lift Yan Changqing, the "Shennong family", to the altar of Saint, and they can also pull Yan Changqing, the "Shennong family" down from the altar of Saint, or even knock him down into the abyss.
When thinking of this, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Chong, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, they couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
Trillions of pounds of potatoes are really hard to handle!!!
Even if all humans and animals were open to eating and eating desperately, they would not be able to eat trillions of kilograms of queens in a year.
And if you can't finish it, just let the potatoes go to waste because they have expired and gone bad.
They felt that the ghosts of all the people who had starved to death in the past dynasties would probably come to them at night to fight for their lives.
Even if there are no wronged souls coming to fight for them, they still can't get through the test in their hearts.
Jin Wang Zhu Fan, who had been thinking with lowered eyebrows, suddenly looked up at Yan Changqing and said:
"If the imperial court distributes potatoes to the people in this way from province to province, will it be able to control the phenomenon of "low prices and harm to farmers" caused by the proliferation of potato planting?!!
"For example, this year we will distribute potato seeds to the people of Shanxi Province, next year we will distribute potato seeds to the people of Shandong Province, and the year after that we will distribute potato seeds to the people of Henan Province..."
"In this way, even if all the people in one, two, or three provinces plant potatoes in their fields, relying on the huge number of people in the world, they should be able to consume them without causing waste."
"Then by the time potato seeds were distributed to subsequent provinces, people in Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan provinces had been planting potatoes for two or three consecutive years.
"By then, after discovering that the yield of potatoes is low due to excessive yield, they will probably not plant so many potatoes anymore."
"The people in subsequent provinces also received the distributed potatoes, and they all planted king beans in their fields.
"But relying on the huge volume of people all over the world, it should be able to be consumed in the end."
"When people in the provinces where potatoes are subsequently planted continue to grow potatoes for two or three years, they should also find that the benefits from potatoes are lower due to excessive potato yields."
"In the end, they probably won't grow so many potatoes anymore."
"In this way, the overall potato planting and yield in the world should enter a generally suitable stage."
After Jin Wang Zhu Fan finished speaking his thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang and the ten princes including Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Nan and Zhu Di who were listening on the side were all brightened up.
It seems that this solution sounds like it can solve the problem!
If the court's advice doesn't work, then the court will distribute potatoes one province at a time.
This method should be able to control the amount of potatoes planted by ordinary people, right?!!
However, Yan Changqing on the podium also shook his head.
Because this solution proposed by Jin King Zhu Fan is actually similar to the solution of allowing the people to plant and propagate themselves.
However, this solution is worse than allowing ordinary people to grow and spread it themselves.
"If the imperial court adopts this solution, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty will be imminent!!`.!"
Yan Changqing looked at Jin Wang Zhu Fan seriously and said.
Hearing Yan Changqing's answer, Jin Wang Zhu Fan almost frowned and asked with a puzzled expression:
“May I ask why this is?!”
Yan Changqing looked at Jin Wang Zhu Fan calmly and said calmly:
"Did the Ming Dynasty only have three provinces: Jin, Yu, and Lu?!!"
"Are the people of the Ming Dynasty the only people in Jin, Henan, and Lu provinces?!!"
"If not, then why did the imperial court distribute potato seeds to the people in Jin, Henan, and Shandong provinces first?!!"
As soon as Yan Changqing said these words, Jin King Zhu Fan's expression changed immediately, and he already understood the meaning of Zhao Changqing's words.
Yan Changqing looked at Jin Wang Zhu Fan and continued:
"As long as the imperial court distributes potato seeds to the people in Jin, Henan, and Shandong provinces first, then the people in the remaining provinces will inevitably be dissatisfied."
"After all, we are all ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. Why should we distribute potato seeds to the people in Shanxi, Henan and Shandong provinces first?"
“Are the people in Jin, Henan, and Shandong provinces superior to them?!!”
"Or are the people in other provinces not considered the people of the Ming Dynasty?!!"
"At that time, people in other provinces around the world will inevitably ask the imperial court for an explanation."
"And if this statement does not satisfy them, then the Ming Dynasty will lose the support of the people in other provinces.
"At that time, if someone is provoking it again, the Ming Dynasty will be more or less turbulent even if it does not fall apart.'
"The only statement that can satisfy the people of other provinces in the world."
"Then there is only one, and that is to give it to the people all over the world at the same time. According to the previous plan, as long as they know and read through the 300 core Chinese characters, or the 3,000 important Chinese characters, we will distribute potato seeds together."
“But in this case, the matter will return to the original problem of ‘low grain prices hurting farmers’.”
After hearing this, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di and other princes, or even Jin Wang Zhu Fan himself, they all put a big cross on the solution just proposed.
Obviously it is impossible to adopt the solution just proposed!
I saw that the solutions proposed by my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother one after another cannot solve the problem of "low grain prices hurting farmers" caused by the proliferation of potato planting in the future.
The attention of King Yan Zhu Di returned to the beginning of the economic industry chain from state-owned supply to state-owned sales mentioned by Yan Changqing:
"I dare to ask, sir, if the imperial court has established an economic and industrial chain from state-owned supply to state-owned sales, how will it solve the problem of 'low grain prices hurting farmers' caused by the proliferation of potato planting in the future?!!"
Yan Changqing's eyes fell on King Yan Zhu Di, nodded slightly and said:
“Your Highnesses should also know the reason for the phenomenon of ‘low prices hurting farmers’.”
"To put it bluntly, there is too much potato production, and no businessmen are willing to buy it, and no one is willing to buy it, resulting in a serious decline in people's income."
"So at this time, the national court is needed to provide the public with the truth.
"For example, local supply and marketing cooperatives representing the country's imperial court came forward to purchase unlimited amounts of potatoes from ordinary people."
"Of course, the purchase price does not need to be too high, and it cannot be too high."
"The main purpose is to maintain the purchase price of potatoes at a level that allows people to sell potatoes in exchange for a certain amount of money.
“Then just buy other daily necessities related to ‘food, clothing, housing and transportation, people’s basic needs’ and inelastic demand. "
"Because only in this way can the common people still obtain certain benefits despite the "low prices hurting farmers" caused by the proliferation of potato planting.
"At the same time, we can clearly understand that planting a large number of potatoes can only allow them to have three meals full at best, but it will not bring them more income."
"If this has been the case for two or three consecutive years, then the people will have to meet the basic needs of three meals a day."
“It’s natural to pursue something that can bring you more benefits in order to pursue a better life.”
"At this time, the imperial court will appropriately increase the purchase price of wheat, rice and other grains."
"At that time, one side will be a large number of kingpox, which will lead to poor returns."
"The other side is the lack of cultivation, which increases the purchase price of other grains."
"In contrast, ordinary people will naturally choose to reduce the number of potatoes planted and resume the planting of other foods."
"So as long as the national court survives the first two or three years, in the fourth or fifth year, the people will naturally gradually reduce the number of potatoes planted.
"It is expected that after the sixth year, the world's total potato production will begin to enter a stage of roughly balanced supply and demand."
"Before the total potato production in the world entered a stage of general balance between supply and demand, all official fields of the imperial court would not grow potatoes, but would exclusively grow wheat, rice and other grains "to meet the needs of the people of the world for wheat, rice and other grains."
"As for the land owned by other royal family members, vassal kings, noble marquises, civil and military officials, etc., there is no need for the court to issue a special ban."
"As long as they find that growing potatoes is unprofitable, or the benefits of growing other foods are greater than growing potatoes."
"Then they will naturally switch to other crops instead of growing potatoes."
“Or you could tell them directly about the phenomenon of ‘low grain prices hurting farmers’ caused by the proliferation of potato planting, and they would uproot the potatoes in their own fields. "
"Because for other royal family members, vassal kings, noble marquises, and civil and military officials, the shock brought by Tian Dou has long passed."
"And they are not the most basic poor people who cannot have enough food and clothing for three meals a day. They don't need to rely on potatoes with an output of 30 shi per mu."
"Even if they don't grow potatoes, they still have a variety of other foods to fill their stomachs."
"So as long as you tell them the principle of 'low price of grain hurts farmers', they will listen to it."
'.[After the total potato production in Ming Dynasty dropped to the point where it broke the balance between supply and demand, Ming Dynasty
Guan Tian can take the initiative to plant potatoes. "
"Or it could be to increase the purchase price of potatoes, encourage people to plant more potatoes again, and increase the total potato output, so as to restore the balance between potato supply and demand."
"This process is actually a means of macro-regulation and control of the national economy."
"In addition to potatoes, other industries involved in food, clothing, housing, transportation and people's livelihood that are directly needed by the imperial court can also use this method to carry out macro-control intervention.
“This will guide the overall development direction of the national economy, which is beneficial to the country and the people.
"To do this, a complete economic industry chain from state-owned supply to state-owned sales is essential."
Zhu Yuanzhang below, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, after listening to what Yan Changqing said, fell into deep thought again.
After a while, King Chu Zhu Zhen looked up at Yan Changqing and asked:
"But sir, what should the national court do with the massive quantities of potatoes that it purchased in unlimited quantities in the past two or three years?!!"
"Could it be that after the national court collected these potatoes, they could only waste them in vain?!!"
Yan Changqing shook his head and replied:
"Of course not. If potatoes are to be stored as seeds in the future, then with today's storage technology, they can only be stored for about a year at most.
“However, if potatoes are processed into potato powder, dried potatoes, etc., then the storage time of these potato foods can be further extended to one year.
About one to two years old. "
"This is equivalent to stretching the potatoes that originally had to be consumed within one year to being consumed within two years."
"The potatoes purchased later, or the potato food processed and produced, can be transported to the frontier armies, local health stations, and coastal navy, and serve as daily food for the Ming Dynasty soldiers.
Staple food. "
"In this way, we can also save part of the consumption of military rations and expand Tahara's digestion area."
"Trillions of pounds of potatoes, with the current size of the Ming Dynasty, can barely be digested without causing too much waste, even if the digestion time line is extended."
"But if there is a total output of trillions of kilograms of potatoes one after another (Li Li's), then in the end it will not only explode the size of the Ming Dynasty, but also cause a large amount of potatoes to be wasted.
Besides, there is no second result. "
After answering the questions of Chu King Zhu Zhen, Yan Changqing's eyes finally fell on Qi King Zhu Su.
After all, the previous princes such as Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Di, King of Jin Zhu Fan, and King of Yan Zhu Di had all asked, and now it was Qi King Zhu Su's turn to ask.
As for Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu in the middle, he is just a fisherman who takes the opportunity to be lazy. Although he has questions, he doesn't want to ask.
Feeling Yan Changqing's gaze on him, Qi King Zhu Su looked at Yan Changqing seriously and asked:
“Are potato flour and dried potatoes delicious?!!”
Hearing Qi King Zhu Su's inquiry, even Yan Changqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After all, the focus of Qi King Zhu Shu seems to be a bit strange.
The King of Qi, Zhu Shu, who asked whether potato flour and dried potatoes were delicious, felt helpless in his heart at this moment. Yuan sighed:
[If possible, I don’t want to ask whether potato flour and dried potatoes are delicious!!! Buy it]
[But the problem is that the questions that arise in my mind were raised by my elder brother and Mr. Yan also answered them, and I also understood and absorbed them all!!!]
[Now I really don’t have any doubts. I can only ask if potato flour and dried potatoes taste good!!!]
Yan Changqing, who was stunned for a moment on the podium, came to his senses again, looked at Qi Wang Zhu Su and said with a smile:
"Potato flour and dried potatoes are very delicious. After finishing the "Dragon Slaying Technique" later, Your Majesty and Your Highnesses can stay and taste the pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli and French fries!
[!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other princes all nodded and decided to stay at Wanmin Medical College for dinner today and try the pork and cabbage stew.
Vermicelli and French fries.
