He remembered that the book "Adjustment on Grain Policy" did not seem to write anything particularly interesting, at least it was better than "The Young Wei Cavalry", "The Travels of the Miracle Doctor", "Nanshan Jun", "Ban Dingyuan Pingxiu" and so on...

"I like to read some idle books on weekdays..." Pang Tong shook his head slowly and said, "Do you know that those idle books are... well, they are all made up? Have you ever thought about why there are these idle books, and why do you compile these idle books?"

『…』 Pang Hong was still silent.

He really didn't think about it.

After a moment of silence, Pang Hong looked up and asked with some dissatisfaction: "What does this have to do with what I said before to stabilize the food prices? Is it also wrong to make the people live a more prosperous life?"

Pang Tong did not answer immediately, but looked at Pang Hong and said seriously: "Your father is in a high position now, like being surrounded by a pack of wolves. If you relax a little, you will be ruined... You either choose to be smart or stupid, and you can save your life. But if you are not smart enough when you should be smart, and you are showing off your ability when you should be stupid... You will harm yourself and the whole family..."

Pang Hong subconsciously wanted to refute, saying that who would be idle and target him, or who dared to plot against Pang Shi, but when he said that when he was about to say something, he always noticed something was wrong, so he swallowed it with difficulty and nodded.

Pang Tong smiled, "We do have food and grass, but raising the food prices is the best way to calculate over a period of time. The people are actually a group of groups that are difficult to think rationally... This is the lord's words, which is "a mob"... The more people, the more difficult it is to unify their thinking and the more difficult it is to communicate... The only way is food and grass... Because everyone has to eat, regardless of men, women, old and young, they have to eat...

Do people in this world think how much difference is between Cao Cao and Fei Qian?

Do you think a ruler is better?

Do you think the emperor is important or the bowl of rice in front of you? And then laugh and laugh, what is more important to have a warm kang?

Of course, the people are not "born" and are motivated, but they are not born equal, cannot have the same living environment, learning environment, or the same personality. In this case, due to information aberration, inconsistent education levels, and different living environments, it is impossible to generate unified cognition. More often, misunderstandings will arise due to certain issues or blindly following the trend, which will form a behavior that deviates from rationality.

This kind of thing is naturally not to say that after a few words, a few slogans, or to express something strengthened, what improved, what promoted, the people can suddenly get rid of the trap of this mob and suddenly become smarter...

Just like Pang Tong also hopes that Pang Hong can be smarter, but what?

More often than not, it still depends on whether Pang Hong himself is willing to be smarter, because this means it will be more painful.

Learning and growing up are all painful, and happy education will only bring happy fools.

"The people will suffer when the price of food increases, but who brought this pain?" Pang Tong's eyes were sharp and he stared at Pang Hong. "What happened to Chang'an before, what is the Sanfu now? The people will see it themselves, think about it themselves, think about it themselves... The premise is that they have to feel the pain... Pain is the only way for them to think about it...

Pang Tong looked at Pang Hong and said meaningfully.

Pang Hong recalled what the shopkeeper of the restaurant said when he was in the restaurant, and nodded, "I understand... they will resent Cao Jun for this... The price of three times can make the people resent, but there will be no large-scale famine in a short period of time... Because the price of grain itself fluctuates, when the green and yellow do not accept the green and yellow do not accept the price is twice as much as the autumn harvest... Now the price of three times is a little more... Moreover, the people also know that if the green and yellow do not accept the green and yellow do not accept the food, the majority of farmers should actually still have food..."

『Well, that's right, ah... it's okay, it's okay..." Pang Tong nodded and added, 『Chang'an people, in recent years, have been richer than people from other places... so they can last longer than other places... In fact, grain prices have also risen in Hanzhong, Sichuan, etc., but not much has risen...』

Pang Tong did not say what would happen if the warehouse was opened or the large amount of grain was released, nor did he say what would happen if the grain price was raised. As the second generation of Pang's, Pang Hong needed more growth, and this growth required Pang Hong's voluntary, otherwise the cow would force his head to press without drinking water, and he would have half the result with twice the effort.

If Ponzi wants to grow, it must bear more things. If you want to bear these things, you will not be able to be smart enough.

Pang Hong is not stupid, he is just not smart enough, or in other words, he does not have a strong desire to become smarter...

Pang Tong was silent for a while, looked at Pang Hong, slightly disappointed, "Do you have nothing to say?"

"I..." Pang Hong was confused.

"For example, how do we deduce this price? What method is used, and how to determine the price of the grain price?" Pang Tong said slowly, "Is there any problem with this method, what remedies are there, or how to ensure that there is no error during the implementation process... and some other related things... have you never thought about it?"

『I…』 Pang Hong lowered his head, 『I, I…is still young…』

"Well, indeed." Pang Tong nodded, "But I didn't want you to think about everything, I just hope you can think more and less stubborn... That's all... Being strong in character is not a bad thing... But fighting in the wrong direction will only bring more mistakes... You go and think about it carefully. In two days, I will take you to Tongguan...

"With..." Pang Hong responded subconsciously, and was about to leave, but suddenly paused and looked up and asked, "Uh... Father, why do you want to go to Tongguan?"

Pang Tong nodded slightly and smiled, "Go and gain knowledge."
