Chapter 63 Leading the meeting

As the biggest peacemaker, Yuan Gan Yao still fulfills his obligations very accurately.

After revealing this topic, no one dares to mention it again.

Pei's words obviously have a huge shock.

Although the Shangshu Province has declined, it has lost its original style.

But after all, he was the boss of the six ministries. The lean camel was bigger than a horse and was in charge of the twenty-four departments of the six ministries. The Ministry of Personnel, who was responsible for the promotion and transfer of officials, was under him.

With this convenience, Pei needs to arrange for officials to be promoted and transfer them to the border, so it should not be too easy.

Pei entered the court and turned out to be the governor of Anxi Protectorate, Xihe and Longyou Jiedushi became the remote leader. Generally speaking, remote leaders do not have to be responsible for local affairs, but who doesn’t know about Pei’s situation?

What is the difference between his remote leadership and direct leadership?

Most of the officials in Anxi Protectorate, Xihe and Longyou were promoted by Pei. How could they refuse Pei’s orders?

Which one can enter the Political Affairs Hall is an ordinary person?

Not to mention that everyone has a certain identity background, and their connections are definitely not weak, and most of them start families and have children and daughters.

How can you not seek benefits for your family and descendants after your lifetime?

If Pei really transferred their clan descendants to the border as he said, it would be a great pleasure.

They all hold the weight and dare not say anything more.

The topic also involved Pei's administration.

Many ministers seemed to have chosen to forget military issues and started a discussion on government affairs.

The opening of Qinghai Road is imperative, and the smooth flow of the Silk Road allowed officials of the Tang Dynasty to further understand the economic convenience brought by commerce.

Although the status of businessmen in this era is low, only when the country is rich can the people be strong.

This country is so poor that it is so poor that people still hope to live a good life?

No one who is sitting here does not understand this basic principle, and no one opposes it. The policy will be given a green light.

Pei once again became a spectator for some trivial matters and did not say much.

It was not until the issue of grain prices that Pei spoke, "In terms of the adjustment of grain prices, I think we should not be too concerned about the face, and we must follow the Zhenguan period. During the Zhenguan period, four or five cents of rice were used to govern the world. It was because the population was insufficient during the Zhenguan period and there were less than three million households, so the price of rice and grain was low, which is reasonable. But now after a hundred years of development, the population of our dynasty has almost reached the peak of the previous dynasty."

Speaking of this, Pei suddenly thought of a brainless article in later generations that "the population of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as that of the Sui Dynasty."

The above learned from his mistakes and said that the Tang Dynasty was not as good as the Sui Dynasty, which had been developing for a hundred years.

A brainless article that is not realistic, but most people choose to believe it and think it is.

In fact, the population was indeed not as good as the Sui Dynasty a hundred years ago, but who will take the blame?

The Sui Dynasty was the easiest to win the world. After Yang Jian ascended the throne, he counted nearly 3.6 million households, which did not include the 3.3 million households in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the large number of hidden households after the war in the Southern and Southern China.

After Emperor Wen of Sui unified the world, the population was around 7 million households.

The Sui Dynasty was a complete successor, and its population capital was more than three times that of Li Tang.

However, after the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was built in ruins, with a population of only more than 2 million households...

The ancients could have a birth, but they were not pigs. They lived a nest for a lifetime, a year for a lifetime.

Population growth takes time.

This real difference completely turned a blind eye to some dark people.

It took a hundred years for the Tang Dynasty to recover to the population level of the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, a hundred years later, the Tang Dynasty's household registration had reached 9.619,254 households, which was completely ignored by the dark people.

However, even now, the population of the Tang Dynasty is still slightly inferior to Daye for nine years, but it is not far away, with more than 40 million people.

The Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly a farming nation, and more than 30 million of these more than 40 million people were farming people.

Pei said cautiously: "Rice and grain are expensive, which harms the people; rice and grain are cheap, which harms the farmers."

This is an experience summed up by Chinese ancestors a thousand years ago.

Later scholars also studied the economic phenomenon of low grains hurting farmers based on this law: that is, in the years of bumper harvest, farmers' income decreased because the food price was too low, and the price of grain could not be sold.

"The people hurt the people's separation, and the farmers hurt the country's unstable. The price of rice and grain is the top priority. I know that the bastard Wang deliberately changed the price of grain to three or four cents of Zhenguan in order to please the holy heart, which was extremely stupid to compare with Zhenguan. This price must be changed, and it cannot harm the interests of 30 million households, nor can it harm the business and business. This little price must be adjusted properly, and the faster the better!"

Pei said solemnly.

Everyone in the hall looked at Pei in surprise.

In military affairs, Pei Juejue Kung, and they didn't think there was any problem.

Pei's military achievements at this moment are comparable to those of the military god Li Jing in the eyes of everyone.

Military is his strength, but he does not want to make such suggestions on government affairs details.

You should know that although the change in the price of rice and grain is a minus data, it is related to the whole world.

Scholars, industry and commerce need to buy rice for food, while farmers need to buy rice for life.

Everyone in the world cannot do without this small data...

However, in order to please Li Longji, the king lowered the food price. Although it caused harm to thousands of people, it also made the three classes of scholars, industry and commerce cheaper.

Now that we have to rashly increase the grain price, it will inevitably damage the interests of the Deshi industry and commerce, and it will also harm people's livelihood.

Therefore, the small amount changes are repeated and there has been no result.

Pei said bluntly: "Some things can be delayed, and some things cannot be delayed. It is better to have short pain than long pain. The food price will need to be changed sooner or later. The later the change, the greater the damage."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I understand this point! But how to determine the amount? Should I increase one qian, two qian or three qian. The problem now lies in this, each has its own reasons. It is not easy to find an absolute balance between hurting the people and hurting farmers."

Pei understood it, but in fact, this is because he lacked the courage to make a decision.

Everyone knows that there is this problem, but this problem is a double-edged sword. This choice is related to the wishes of 40 million people in the world.

Li Yuan and the officials were unable to make up this idea, and the courageous person is now on the hospital bed.

This matter cannot be implemented.

"After the meeting today, I will go back to the Secretariat Province, gathering officials and household officials to learn about the emergency situation of ordinary industrial and commercial people in detail, and set the price of food according to their level. At most, I will reply to you. At that time, I will take the situation of my investigation as the basis. It will not be delayed, and the hearts of the people in the world will be depressed."
