I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 801, Domestic Demand
"The Guishuang Empire is a powerful empire with a population of tens of millions. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Duan Peng and the others to annex such a powerful empire!" This is what the senior officials are worried about.

Although Duan Peng and the others have the support of the top leaders, their strength has improved a lot over the years, but with the degree of desolation in the Western Regions, most of the areas are no-man's land. Duan Peng and the others quickly absorbed the population of the Western Regions, so No matter how they develop, it is difficult to grow.They have worked hard for several years, and their country is still a small country with a population of 10,000+, and many people even came to the mainland of Dagan through them.

These small countries add up to less than one-tenth of the population of Guishuang. Instead, they worry that this will cause fire. After all, the Western Regions are too far away from the core power of Dagan, and it is difficult for the power of Dagan to radiate here.

Moreover, the top management of Dagan never underestimated the potential of Tianzhu. Tianzhu is too big. The south can communicate with Dagan Jiaozhou, and the north can communicate with Dagan's Western Regions. The population is also tens of millions, and the civilization inheritance is not inferior to Dagan. Who dares to underestimate China's civilization.

Just like now, Dagan did not make any preparations in Tianzhu. He sent Yan Liang in the south to occupy the island in the south of Tianzhu to supervise Liu Bei's actions, and arranged a lot of meritorious service in the north to supervise the Guishuang Empire. Unfortunately, Tianzhu is too vast So much so that the forces of the north and the south of Dagan could not gather together to deal with the changes in Tianzhu. At the same time, Tianzhu was too far away from Dagan. Even if they cared about the situation of Tianzhu, they could only get news from Tianzhu half a year ago.

Of course, it is not without the power that Daqian really wants to solve the Guishuang Empire. It is not even a problem for Liu Bei to solve it together, but it is not cost-effective.

Now Daqian is facing uncivilized savages, as long as a small number of troops are dispatched, they can occupy the South China Sea and the New World, and immediately earn more than one billion yuan, and it will increase in the future.

On one side is a powerful enemy that may cost tens of billions and kill or injure tens of thousands of people. You don't need to think about where you should put your power.

Li Gang thought for a while and said: "Government, I think we are overthinking now. Both Liu Bei and the Guishuang Empire are powerful countries with a population of tens of millions. How can such a war between big countries be over in a short time? Thinking about the war that we destroyed the big man, it didn’t take more than ten years to fight, this is because we have overwhelming power.”

Hearing this, Wang Ge laughed and said: "Yes, we can completely sit back and watch the success or failure of governing. If Liu Bei loses, we will let Duan Peng and others contain the power of the Guishuang Empire in the Western Regions. If the Guishuang Empire loses, we will Just find a way to sell some retired equipment to them, in short, don't let any party become bigger!"

"And Liu Bei's age is almost the same as ours. He is still fighting in the north and south, and I'm afraid he won't live long, and he has never heard of Liu Bei's outstanding successor. After he dies, Liu Bei's son can hold on to the present. The land is a matter of luck.”

After everyone discussed for a while, they found that sitting back and watching the success or failure and doing business with both parties was actually their best choice!

After Wang Lei and the others left, Wang Guojun regrettably said to Xu Wei: "If you are in power, if you don't worry about Liu Bei becoming bigger in Tianzhu, I really hope that Liu Bei will capture the entire Tianzhu!"

Xu Wei smiled and said, "You are also reluctant to part with Liu Bei, a big buyer!"

Wang Guojun said helplessly: "The low price of grain hurts the farmers! This year Liu Bei will fight hard, I'm afraid he won't have the heart to farm, maybe this year Tianzhu can buy us 2000 million shi of grain, this will solve our big trouble! Yes! Save us billions of dollars and build more railways!"

For the current Daqian Dynasty, it is not cost-effective to purchase grain, but a large amount of fiscal revenue is spent every year to purchase grain, and these grains have to be stored, and the old grain will be sold to various places in Dagan at a very low price. Among the farmers, the entry and exit of the imperial court is a loss of more than one billion yuan.But if the grain is not purchased and the people are allowed to sell the grain at the market price, the price of the grain should have fallen below 30 yuan a stone.

The Dagan imperial court used 100 yuan to purchase grain to stabilize the price of Dagan grain, and at the same time stabilized the income of most farmers in Dagan.

Otherwise, they might really be like other common people in the prosperous age. The rise and fall of the world has nothing to do with him. After all, the price of food is low, and the miscellaneous taxes will not be reduced. In this way, farmers who work for a year are still poor .

Wang Guojun never expected that the first problem he encountered as the prime minister was the problem of food prices, and this problem has been troubled for more than ten years. It can be said that since the unification of the world, the food problem has become a headache for the court every year The problem!

Xu Wei understood that Wang Guojun didn't want to cover the whole situation, so he asked, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if the imperial court didn't buy the people's food?"

Wang Guojun thought for a while and said: "The price of food has fallen below 30 yuan. Although the income of the people is low, at least the people will not be hungry. The court can also save more than one billion yuan, which can be used to build railways. The ruling must know that the people in power are now There is a saying that once the railway is repaired, the gold is ten thousand taels.”

Xu Wei shook his head and said, "Have you ever thought about it, if the common people have no money, who will we sell the cloth produced by our textile factory to? Who will we sell the livestock in the desert? Who will we sell the agricultural tools and iron tools produced by the steel factory?"

Wang Guojun thought about it deeply when he heard this, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

The textile industry has always been the pillar industry of Daqian. If there is a problem in this industry, it will be a big problem. And the breeding industry in the desert is also the core industry of Daqian to stabilize the desert. If the herdsmen in the desert cannot make money through the breeding industry, they will start from scratch. Take the saber to make money.And the iron and steel plant is the fundamental industry of Daqian industrialization. If there is a problem with this, all Dagan industries will be affected!

There is no world market in this era, and most of the products that survive in Dagan are purchased by the people of Dagan. Without these people buying industrial products, the new industries in Dagan will collapse completely, because in this era, there is no Any market can provide a market produced by 7000 million people.From this perspective, it is almost an inevitable historical choice for industrialization to appear in small countries.

The two sprouts of industry in the Ming and Song Dynasties also failed to bloom and bear fruit because of this reason, because the world at that time could not afford to support such a huge flower. Xu Wei was deeply aware of this, so he tried his best to improve the quality of the common people. income!

It was only at this time that the Royal Army discovered the importance of farmers in these villages to Dagan. Without them purchasing all kinds of goods produced by Dagan, the foundation of Dagan's rule might be shaken!
