Villager of Daming

Chapter 731 The economic theory of pricing must be debated

Zhu Wentian looked at the road and stamped his feet, feeling happy.

Building bridges and repairing roads is a tradition. Normally, the government only needs to build the roads and there is no need to take care of them in the future.

When the people see that the road is good, everyone will maintain it and be very conscious.

It rained heavily, and the road surface was sunken in some places. The people looked at the many stones next to them, so they filled the ground with their hands and stepped on them with their feet.

This is true for every passing citizen. The roads damaged by heavy rain will soon be repaired.

After the autumn harvest, there were stone rollers, and the people took them to the road and pressed them, because no one would continue to care about them.

The government's road construction is a one-time thing. Once it is completed, it will be ignored. It may not be built again many years later.

The people know that if they don't care about it, then this road will be useless.

The common people are also the common people in the village. Like in Xiaqiu Village, the road in the village was washed away by the water. Everyone had to get stones and sand to repair it. Otherwise, who would they expect?

Such simple thoughts extend beyond the village, and everyone also abides by the rules.

Just like growing vegetables at home, the furrows are used for watering, vegetables are grown on the ridge platforms, and people walk in the furrows when picking.

Even if the seeds have just been sown, if people need to cross the vegetable field, they must walk in furrows, not on ridge platforms.

Children steal neighbor's cucumbers and eat them. They know how to walk in ditches, and then they look at the cucumbers and don't touch the cucumbers that have not grown up, especially the ones with flowers, which will stop growing after being touched.

Then when stealing, they use their fingernails to pinch the back of the cucumber instead of pulling the seedlings, because this is what they do at home.

Yes, stealing must be done according to the rules. You cannot kick down the ridge and drag the rice seedlings. Stealing and thieving must be separated.

This is simplicity that goes deep into the bones and soul.

Especially when summer turns to autumn, the cucumber fields are full of cucumbers. People who steal cucumbers look at each seedling. If the young ones don’t steal, they will still grow!
Then I saw a big cucumber under the seedling and a hemp rope on it. Look again, oh!Seeing that it was touching the ground, I quickly smoothed the seedling next to it, then untied the rope and jumped up to a position so that it was no longer touching the ground.

Because these are used for planting seeds. They are closest to the ground but cannot touch the ground. If they touch it, they will die. How can this be done?
People who steal cucumbers are not allowed!I steal cucumbers because I want to eat them. You haven't taken care of the cucumbers in your house these days. Didn't you see that the cucumbers were planted on the ground?
Also, there are insects crawling on your seedlings. I will pick some leaves with insects for you. Your family is too lazy. I will not steal from your family next time.

This is a true portrayal of the current situation of people stealing neighbors’ vegetable plots, stealing while helping to maintain them, and not only stealing enough food for a meal, but taking it home to eat.

There are also children who steal green onions and coriander grown by others by the river.

When eating secretly, check the sowing density. If the green onions are close to each other, pull out the ones next to them. Roll them off, peel off the outer layer of green onion skin, and eat the inside ones.

As for coriander, you need to look at the tillers, keep the main stem still, and pinch off the worst tillers to eat.

That is to say, the common people's behavior of stealing crops is wrong, but the harm caused is very small. They just treat it as their own land to pick it, and sometimes they help you fix the shelves.

So stealing other people's vegetable plots... is wrong!
……

"Sure enough, there are many people. Today is the twelfth lunar month. What do the people want to change?" Liu Bowen asked, but he really didn't understand.

This is different from what he has been exposed to before. He has been a child of officials since he was a child.

You will know by looking at the information: Liu Ji has read extensively in classics, history, astronomy, calendar, art of war, and Xingli since he was a child, and he is especially good at the study of Xiangwei.

Since childhood!There are so many children in Xiaqiu Village, who dares to say what they have learned since childhood?

"Sincerity, the local people don't actually want to change anything, but they want to have a reasonable price for the things they produce.

Pricing power is the most important. The court does not have special management, and Xiaqiu Village does not care, because more people wait and see during the exchange.Just wait. When it is difficult for everyone to reach a unified agreement, the best time for official intervention is.

The so-called official refers to the party with strong military strength. Whoever has strong military force will have everything. "

The chief told Liu Bowen, but he also said it to others, especially the prince.

According to Hanhan, classes have always existed, and the rich and the poor are the lintel.

Everyone has different origins and different abilities, which determines the difference in social status.

Of course, this is Hanhan's education to the people in the village, not to the outside world. To the outside world, it should be said that as long as you work hard and abide by morals and laws, you can succeed.

"Why do you want the price?" Liu Bowen was still confused.

"Nanjing needs a lot of things, and merchants come here to buy them. If the people cannot determine the price, they will be bullied by the merchants.

Therefore, people sell the same things together in the market, colluding with each other, and merchants come to collect them. If the price is low, they will not sell them.

In addition, there is the Qinhuai River. If the merchants unite to lower the price, the people will find their own boats to Nanjing.

Next year we can put a department store here. Some villages here have a small population and cannot support the operation of a department store. "

Zhu Ming followed up and said that he was busy with things in the department store.

……

"The smoked tofu is dried! It's sold cheaply! It's Chinese New Year, and this salty one can last for four days."

"The pigs that are being slaughtered need to be filled with blood sausage and meat sausage. You can also use powdered sausage."

"The lotus roots I just picked are crispy and not yellow at all. Take a look!"

"This basket of crucian carp is full. I'll give it to you. It's fifty cents. You can eat it for three days when you get home. It's only a dozen cents a day."

Zhu Biao and others were walking around the market, shouting non-stop, feeling that they should buy everyone and take advantage.

"Li Chang, is this a market economy? Things are not expensive." Zhu Biao listened and looked at it. The prices of things were indeed lower than those in Nanjing.

"Your Highness, if I have to make a distinction, this is a small-scale peasant economy that is part of the market economy. It is mainly self-cultivation and self-production. At present, our Ming Dynasty mainly uses this.

If it is like department stores, Jubiqi, and the hydraulic looms on Luoshui River, it is called a commodity economy.

Some people will regard the small-scale peasant economy as the natural economy and the commodity economy as the market economy, thereby opposing the natural economy and the market economy, that is, opposing the small-scale peasant economy and the market economy.

This is narrow. If there is exchange, there is a market. Then it is a market economy, but the form of expression is different.

As for the people here now selling things cheaply, it is the lowest price given to the merchants. No matter how much they buy, the price is the same, and the people themselves do not suffer any loss when buying and selling among themselves.

It belongs to the survival mode of the commodity supply circle around large consumer groups, and jointly fights with merchants, otherwise prices will become polarized. Those in Nanjing sell for ten cents per catty, but the place of production does not cost one cent per catty, even though it is so close.

If officials in Shangyuan County, or Yingtian Prefecture officials, were corrupt and colluded with businessmen, the people would have no way to survive. All they had to do was stop people from bringing their own things into Nanjing to sell. "

As the director said, he stood in front of a stall selling sugar syrup. The other person seemed very reserved, but he still yelled: "Shake the sugar ~ shake the sugar ~ sugar painting, shake the sugar after it melts, shake it until it turns white and eat it."

"The accent sounds like you're from Peiping? Can you draw sugar paintings?" Li Chang asked with a smile.
