Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 88: The market theory of the court’s intense debate
Tai Chi outside the palace.
Li Zexuan waited boredly for Li Er to summon him there.
When there is nothing to do, he just looks around. Of course, the line of court ladies who are leaning against the wall outside the hall are the ones he looks at most.
These palace ladies are mostly young and beautiful. They are also wearing pink low-cut skirts. Li Zexuan has magical skills and excellent eyesight. You can see the white and tender big steamed buns in the air from far away, and the middle Deep invisible gully, it feels as if he is holding a binoculars and looking at beautiful women.
Uh, this is not his shameless Li Zexuan, it is really boring to stand here, and he can't go to the pavilion next to him to rest.
Li Zexuan looked at this beautiful spring, but he was slandering in his heart: This Li Er can really enjoy, let so many young and pretty beauties wear such a low-cut skirt to serve themselves.
If someone who didn't have a girlfriend in his previous life traveled to the Tang Dynasty and became the emperor, and saw so many beautiful beauties like flowers and jade, I'm afraid it will be fine #尽# What?
Li Zexuan was thinking wildly here, and suddenly heard a sharp voice from the hall: "Let Li Zexuan see you~"
Li Zexuan quickly entered the hall lightly.
The first time I saw Li Er, it was a lie to say that I was not nervous. This was a feudal society, and imperial power was supreme. If Li Er was unhappy, wouldn't it be soeasy to kill myself! Therefore, Li Zexuan was a little cautious.
"Xiaomin Li Zexuan, see Your Majesty."
Li Zexuan bowed and bowed. Yes, he just bowed, instead of kneeling down. The Tang Dynasty did not bow to bow. The Tang Dynasty bowed. Before the Song Dynasty, it was impossible for the county official to kneel down as the prefect. In the Tang Dynasty, the ruler was generally sitting and the minister stood.
Li Zexuan also didn't say those long live long live our emperor long live long live long live the second sentence. On the way here, Du Gumou told him the emperor's etiquette to meet the emperor in great detail, so Li Zexuan did not make a joke.
"No gift, flat body." A majestic voice came from the hall.
Li Zexuan straightened his waist and raised his head.
Li Er saw that the boy in front of him was beautiful and tender but with sharp features, and his eyebrows revealed a sense of fortitude, with a unique ethereal beauty. The most surprising thing to Li Er was that the boy was not humble or overbearing when he saw him for the first time. , I can't see the slightest fear in my eyes.
Li Er nodded secretly, this young man can be regarded as a talent.
You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, appearance was clearly used as the criterion for selecting officials. People who look too ugly can not be officials. Of course, exceptions are made to founding generals such as Jin, Yu Chi Gong, Niu Jinda, etc.
Li Er is looking at Li Zexuan, and Li Zexuan is also looking at Li Er secretly. He is very curious about the ancient Tang Taizong who has been passed down in history, and wants to see what he looks like.
I saw Li Er wearing a crown of heaven on his head, wearing a python dragon robe, and the pearl ears hanging down exactly at the same level as his eyes. Under the shining of ninety-nine giant butter candles, the brilliance was radiant, like a litter of later generations. The winking singer makes people dizzy and can't see what a person looks like at all. This is probably the biggest effect of the crown.
Li Zexuan was quite depressed. He secretly said that Li Ertai was so small, and he didn't let others see what he looked like. Could it be that he looks too ugly?
If Li Er knows what Li Zexuan is thinking, he has to get rid of this kid. When Li Er was young, he was also a well-known ranger in Taiyuan. He looks handsome and has good skill. How could he be like Li Zexuan thought. So unsightly.
Li Er Shen said: "Li Zexuan, do you know, what do I call you today?"
"Xiaomin doesn't know."
Li Zexuan's mouth twitched. How did I know that the cold-faced general Dugumou didn't tell him, where would he know where to go?
Li Er pretending to be harsh:
"Huh, since you don’t know, then I will tell you in person. Just now Taifu Temple Yuan Shaoqing impeached you to buy chickens, causing the price of chickens and eggs in Chang'an to skyrocket. You are driving up prices, cholera market, and affecting People’s livelihood, this is one crime; in addition, Wei Zuocheng impeaches you for showing off your strange skills and selling scooters. This car disrupts the order of Chang'an and affects the safety of children. This is the second crime. Li Zexuan, what can you say?"
Li Zexuan was shocked. He really didn’t expect that a minister would make a fuss about these two things. His mind turned sharply. After a while, he stepped forward to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, Xiaomin has something to say. ."
Li Er nodded and said: "Just tell me."
Li Zexuan asked the minister next to him:
"Dare to ask who is Yuan Shaoqing?"
At this time, Cheng Yaojin, who was next to him, pointed to Yuan Wendao, who was full of blood, and smiled: "This is Yuan Shaoqing."
Li Zexuan glanced at Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin nodded at him with deep meaning, so he felt relieved.
Yuan Wendao stood up and said: "This official is Shaoqing Taifu Temple, how are you doing?"
Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Yuan Shaoqing impeached me to drive up prices, the kid has something to say. Xiaomin needs chicken fry, but the quantity required is a bit large. Xiaomin uses his own money to go to the East Market to buy what he needs, may I ask Yuan Shaoqing, Xiaomin violated the law of my Datang? Is there a provision in my Datang law that people cannot buy chicken fry on a large scale?"
Yuan Wendao quibbleed: "You are hoarding, driving up prices and disrupting the market. If you raise the price of chicken and eggs so high, how can ordinary people afford it?"
Li Zexuan walked to Yuan Wendao, looked into his eyes, and said:
"Yuan Shaoqing, chicken seedlings are not like grain and grass. They are strategic materials. How come they are hoarding. The so-called market is nothing more than supply and demand. Supply is less than demand, and prices will naturally rise. Do people need something? Will it cause his price to rise after considering buying it? If this is the case, how good is this market for people's livelihood?
What's more, Yuan Shaoqing, you only saw the price increase of chicken fry and eggs, and the people couldn’t afford to eat eggs, but Shaoqing, why didn’t you see that because the price of chicken fry and eggs has risen, there are tens of thousands of farmers near Chang'an City selling their own houses. Extra profit for eggs?
The world is profitable. Wherever there is a market where supply is less than demand, it will naturally balance the relationship between supply and demand through the mutual circulation of goods in different regions. The market has its own ability to regulate. If human intervention is forced, it will only be counterproductive. , So that the market loses vitality. "
"Okay, well said!"
Although Cheng Yaojin doesn't understand these market theories, he thinks what Li Zexuan said is so powerful.
Fang Xuanling listened to Li Zexuan's words~IndoMTL.com~He was quite surprised, then he stood up and bowed to Li Er:
"Your Majesty, what Li Zexuan said is quite reasonable, and it also impressed the old ministers. Perhaps we should reflect on the market management system of Datang."
Li Zexuan gave Fang Xuanling a grateful look. Although he didn't know the official in front of him, he was justified and had a unique vision. He could see the limitations of the current market system. Li Zexuan was a little grateful and admired for him.
As a commodity trading place, the market in the Tang Dynasty cannot be formed spontaneously due to a certain development of a commodity economy in a certain place, nor is it a natural product or inevitable result of economic development.
In the Tang Dynasty, the right to set up and abolish the market was clearly owned by the government and was determined by the government’s will. This kind of government-led market system is of course not conducive to the development of the market and will only gradually lose the market vitality.
Li Er didn't expect Li Zexuan to speak upright, and what was more unexpected was that Fang Xuanling would also stand up and speak for him.
This old subordinate himself is an expert in the history, foresight, and vision. He did not expect that he would agree with Li Zexuan's words.
Li Er just called Li Zexuan over to see him today. He didn't mean to ask him for a crime, but he didn't expect to be surprised. He nodded thoughtfully to Fang Xuanling and said: "Fang Aiqing, we will discuss this later."
He looked at Li Zexuan again, and said: "In this case, I will not pursue your charge of driving up prices to disrupt the market, but I still have to ask, what do you kid do with so many chicken fry?"
Cheng Yaojin heard Li Er's question and raised his ears. Hearing what Li Zexuan had to say, he was also quite curious.
Li Zexuan's heart chuckles, the last question he doesn't want to answer is still here.
