Chapter 71 Your gaze is still too short-sighted

The words of the two immediately woke Lao Tzu up from his distraction.

He glanced at the surrounding scenery with some doubt, it was an ordinary stone bridge and pond, as if there was an illusion just now.

“Strange.”

After muttering, Lao Tzu didn’t think much about it, thinking that he had an epiphany just now.

He said to Li Yuanji:

“Li Yuan Xiaoyou, we met again.”

Li Yuan asked Lao Tzu, “How are you practicing Go?” ”

Lao Tzu smiled: “Poor Dao came here today precisely to compete with Xiaoyou.” ”

“It seems that you are very confident.” Li Yuan smiled lightly.

Grand Master Xuandu saw that Li Yuan was not in the Earth Immortal Stage, but he could calmly talk to the teacher without showing restraint at all, and he couldn’t help but be surprised in his heart.

Sure enough, as the teacher said, he was extraordinary, calm and calm.

Ji Chang said to Li Yuan excitedly:

Yesterday, after listening to Mr. Ji’s words, Ji Chang only felt that he had benefited a lot. However, Ji Chang still had some doubts and couldn’t come up with the answer by himself, so he came to ask Mr. for advice, and hoped that Mr. would give him advice. ”

Ji Chang did not directly ask Li Yuan to go to Xiqi to become the prime minister, he was ready to close the relationship a little closer before saying his purpose, so that the success rate was also a little higher.

“What’s wrong with you?” Li Yuan asked calmly.

Ji Chang: “Sir said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the economy is the most important, but I thought about it for a long time last night, and I didn’t come up with a way to enhance the economy…”

Lao Tzu looked confused.

Who am I? Where am I?

He knew every word Ji Chang said, but he didn’t know what Ji Chang was saying.

What kind of dialect is this?

No, I can’t show that I don’t understand.

Thinking of this, Lao Tzu suddenly showed an expression that could be heard

Xuandu also listened to the clouds.

Seeing that Lao Tzu could hear it intently, he immediately showed admiration.

It is worthy of being a master, and even this can be understood.

Li Yuan did not rush to answer Ji Chang’s question, but asked Lao Tzu:

“Lao Li, do you want to let Peony Medicine play against you first?”

“No,” Lao Tzu quickly shook his head and said, “I think what you said is quite interesting, I will listen to it from the sidelines.” ”

He wanted to know whether Li Yuan really had the talent to govern the country through the world and the people, which made Ji Chang pay so much attention.

He even honored “Sir”!

Li Yuan no longer cared about Lao Tzu, and he replied to Ji Chang:

“There are many ways to develop the economy, but it can be summed up in two words – trade.”

Trade!

Ji Chang frowned:

“If everyone goes to trade, who will grow food? If the land is left untied, it will only take one or two years to be abandoned, and if there is a disaster year, where can there be food relief for the victims? ”

Lao Tzu nodded, he felt that what Ji Chang said was very reasonable.

It seems that Li Yuan does not have the talent of the world, and he encourages business, which is simply playing the piano.

Thinking of this, Lao Tzu couldn’t help but secretly rejoice, and he suddenly spoke:

“The foundation of the country is still heavy agriculture, business is a wrong way, peasants work hard and live hard, but merchants speculate but enjoy wealth, if trade is encouraged, it will only encourage people to pursue profits, which will shake the foundation of the country, it is not desirable, it is not desirable.”

“Alas, your gaze is still too short-sighted.” Li Yuan shook his head and sighed.

When Xuandu heard this, he couldn’t help but shake his horns.

Dare to say that the saint is short-sighted, I’m afraid this is the first person in ancient times, right?

Lao Tzu was so angry that his beard trembled, and he said unconvinced:

“Where am I short-sighted?”

Ji Chang looked at Li Yuan humbly.

Li Yuanyi took the fishing rod and explained:

“You only see that trade will reduce the number of laborers to cultivate land, but you do not know that trade will greatly promote the exchange of goods, automatically regulate supply and demand, and stimulate the enthusiasm of merchants.”

Li Yuan saw that Ji Chang and Lao Tzu were dumbfounded, and he suddenly said more simply:

“I use an analogy, if there are fewer people growing land and grain production decreases, food prices will definitely rise. Merchants seeking profits, seeing the rise in food prices, will definitely diversify grain. When there is more food, food prices will fall again. This is called automatic adjustment of supply and demand. ”

“However, for goods related to people’s livelihood, such as grain and salt, we cannot let all the merchants mess around, and this must be regulated by the government.”

“For example, when the grain harvest is bumper, the government takes the initiative to collect grain at a high price to maintain stable food prices. When the price of grain is too high, the government releases grain to curb the price of grain. When trade reaches a certain level, you can also go to other countries to trade grain to supplement domestic shortfalls…”

Li Yuan told Ji Chang and Lao Tzu the benefits of trade in great detail and bluntly.

Ji Chang and Lao Tzu were a little confused at first, but when Li Yuan explained it with examples, the two immediately understood.

“Seconds, seconds, it turns out that trade can still be done like this.”

After listening to Li Yuan’s blunt explanation of trade, Ji Chang couldn’t help but clap his hands and marvel.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the government took the initiative to adjust the price of grain, Ji Chang felt that it was of infinite use.

In this way, there is no longer a fear of unstable food prices in Xiqi.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang couldn’t help but admire Li Yuan’s talent more and more, and he sincerely praised Li Yuan:

“The talent of a gentleman is unmatched.”

Lao Tzu also listened, and he realized that trade was indeed not as useless as he thought.

The most important thing is that Lao Tzu determined that Li Yuan really has the great talent of ruling the country through the world.

No wonder Ji Chang thinks so highly of him!

It’s over, Li Yuan is so talented, don’t really go to Ji Chang as a prime minister, then what can Jiang Ziya do? Lao Tzu was secretly anxious in his heart.

Li Yuan heard Ji Chang’s praise and said disapprovingly:

“This is only the most superficial role of trade, and even deeper, it can even use trade to control other countries’ economies, thereby indirectly affecting other countries’ policies… It’s just that this is too profound, and you can’t understand it now. ”

Unexpectedly despised, Lao Tzu’s forehead suddenly gave birth to three black lines.

“Sir’s talent is indeed not comparable to us.” Ji Chang was not dissatisfied, but nodded with deep understanding.

Archmage Xuandu was stunned to watch from the side.

This Li Yuan, really talented, actually pointed out the rivers and mountains in front of the saint.

This way of governing the country alone is inferior to even the saints.

No wonder the teacher would pay so much attention to him and want to take him as an apprentice!

Ji Chang was so excited in his heart that he couldn’t wait to invite Li Yuan to Xiqi immediately.

However, he rolled his eyes and suddenly asked Li Yuan a question that had nothing to do with governing the country:

“Sir, what do you think of Chengtang Jiangshan?”

Lao Tzu’s heart moved, and he also stared at Li Yuan, he wanted to know if Li Yuan had also calculated that Cheng Tang Jiangshan was about to run out.
