But immediately Pang Tong put down the report, rolled his eyes, looked at Xun You, and said: "This matter...does Gongda have any good ideas?"

"This happened when the hussars came out of the pass..." Xun You gave Pang Yi a meaningful look, and then said in a deep voice, "Someone must be trying to do something evil... Although this matter only involves food and grass, many people are involved...

...If it cannot be handled properly, chaos will occur..."

"The law does not punish everyone?" Pang Tong sneered.

Xun You sighed slightly and nodded, "Besides, the Hussar's law does not prohibit the sale of grain, grass, salt and iron, and regarding market transactions, the Hussar has already stated that he must not order merchants as a last resort..."

"What's more..." Xun You said, "Nowadays, there are more and more refugees in Jingzhou, and it is expected that food prices will rise. It's just that it's so high. Someone is taking advantage of it... If you use this to blame people, I'm afraid it will hurt you."

The economy is also..."

Pang Tong nodded, "Gongda is very worried."

In the final analysis, panic over food and panic buying and hoarding of other daily necessities actually represent people's fear of life, reflecting a sense of insecurity, that is, uncertainty about future life.

Especially in the past few years, the wars between various parts of the Han Dynasty have greatly deepened the people's insecurity. The slightest disturbance is like a frightened bird...

This is what Xun You means. Those who push up food prices are not all hoarders and panicked people. In fact, they are also the fuel for rising food prices. Without the support of these people, these hoardings will

Grain and grass merchants did not dare to follow suit easily.

So in such a situation, it is not just about arresting a few businessmen, or arresting a dozen businessmen, or it can be solved by large households, because even if these businessmen are killed, doesn't it mean that no one will take risks next time?

Really? If this is really the case, then why are hoarders so common in all dynasties?

In fact, Xun You still had something to say, because ordinary people are always lagging behind and slow to receive news. They will not feel the pain until they are actually hit by a sharp blade, so they should be one step ahead of the ordinary people.

Are people who have obtained information and grabbed more resources just ordinary merchants?

After catching these ordinary merchants who are performing at the lower level, what should we do with these profit-makers above the merchants?

More often than not, these ordinary merchants are like swords and guns. When the swords and guns are contaminated with human blood, they don't trace who is holding the swords and guns. They just smash the blood-stained swords and guns and destroy them. Is that the end of the matter?

"Nowadays, there are more and more types of goods in Chang'an..." Xun You said slowly, "Even the market in Luoyang back then may not be comparable to it. However, there are many markets, but the people may not..."

To put it simply, it's like there are a lot of goods in supermarkets, but they may not be available in residents' homes.

For the current Han people in Sanfu, Chang'an, they are living in a relatively happy era in advance. In the market of Chang'an, you can see goods from various places, with a wide variety and large quantities.

However, for each individual family, firstly, there is not enough financial support, and secondly, there may not be enough space to provide storage, so many families are still accustomed to waiting for purchases when needed.

Under this model, the manor economy takes advantage.

Manor owners, that is, large landowners, naturally have more spare money and free space to compete with the market.

In the feudal era, due to the relationship between productivity, there were some limitations in both production technology and commodity circulation. Therefore, generally speaking, materials had strong regional characteristics. For example, the fruits and vegetables of Chang'an Sanfu were generally

It is also sold in Sanfu, Chang'an, and has strong seasonality.

Products from other places, such as salted fish from Qingxu, vinegar cloth, etc., are transported, and the prices are basically within a relatively constant range.

"Therefore, if it is not difficult to clear out the merchants, the difficulty is that it can only treat the symptoms, but not the root cause." Xun You said solemnly, "Furthermore, now the Hussar knights are promoting agriculture, industry and commerce... If the grain and grass are profitable, and those who hoard them will be killed...

If the price of seats is high and there are people hoarding seats, will they be killed?"

"Hmm..." Pang Tong pinched his fat chin, looked at Xun You with interest, and said, "Gongda seems to have made a decision?"

Xun You cupped his hands and said, "I order you not to hide anything from me... I'm afraid the hussar has already made up his mind..."

Pang Tongyi was stunned, then smiled and said: "...I wonder where the flaw was exposed?"

"I haven't made a final decision before I meet you... But when your commander saw this, he was angry but not confused..." Xun You glanced at Pang Tong, "Not to mention grain, grass, salt and iron, which are essential for the military and the country, how can we do this?"

Is it true that it is left to human hands to be kneaded?』

"Hey... it's really..." Pang Tong shook his head and sighed, and then smiled, "Gongda is indeed... this matter... we might as well put it aside for the time being... well, it's not appropriate to ignore it, so why not just issue a notice..."
