Chapter 633 Sun Xiangfu's Prophecy
Chatting with a person who can speak useful truths with an open mouth is naturally very pleasant for a person like Li Shimin who loves to learn.

In fact, it is not how high the teaching level of Sun Xiangfu is, but Li Shimin's understanding ability is too strong. He can always learn some truths by analogy and turn them into his own use.

Therefore, he issued new orders to the local governments, asking them to increase their efforts to promote new farm tools. If conditions permit, they can even use the imperial government's public funds to buy some new farm tools and lend them to the people. For the company, I am afraid that after Li Shimin's decree is issued, there will be a lot of price increases.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu does not suggest that Li Shimin govern the country in this way of doing what he thinks of. The society needs to change gradually, and the change is too big at once, which may cause chaos.

Just like the people who came to petition before, they said that the price of food is too low, and the prices of some other commodities are too high, and they have a relatively difficult life.At this time, if policies are used to promote the expansion of agricultural output across the country, the result may be that some poor people who live on farming will become even poorer.

The first season of paddy harvest in Shannan Road’s embankment has been bumper again. The yield of the experimental field has reached ten stones per mu, and it is still dry rice. The output of ordinary farmers’ fields in other embankments has also reached an average of nine stones and two dry rice. , as the news spread across the country, the prices of all grain commodities in the Tang Dynasty dropped accordingly. In the Jiangnan area where there is a lot of grain production, the price of rice directly fell below [-] yuan per stone, almost reaching the price of [-] yuan per stone in the history of the Zhenguan Dynasty. When grain prices were at their lowest, Doumi was only sold for three or four dollars.

If it was a few years ago, when the price of grain dropped sharply, the princes in the court would definitely celebrate with each other. However, now, the princes in the court showed anxiety.

The cheap grain hurts the farmers, and there is less and less money that can be exchanged for the things produced, which will only make life more difficult for the people, because they can no longer afford other necessities of life, and the happiness index begins to plummet .

Therefore, together with Li Chengqian and Xiao Yu, they directly promulgated a decree that Changping warehouses in various parts of the imperial court will collect unlimited grain from the people at a protective price of sixty yuan per stone meter. This price is almost the same as last year except Outside of Guanzhong, the average price of grain in other states and highways has risen, more than [-]% higher than the current market price.

Moreover, in order to prevent the common people from suffering losses in selling grain, Li Chengqian first issued an execution order before reporting to Li Shimin. After reading his report, Li Shimin was very pleased and directly granted all the internal power to Li Chengqian In case he went to Lingnan, because the distance was too far, it would take too long to go back and forth to report and delay state affairs.

So far, in Chang'an, except that Li Chengqian has no military power, the political power he can use is basically the same as that of the emperor.Moreover, he did not ask the Ministry of Agriculture to hoard all the harvested grain in the warehouse. After all, the grain harvested one after another, and there was already a lot of grain in the Changping warehouse. When the new grain was put into the warehouse, they directly sent the old grain to various places Most of the breweries in Weinan are large factories in Weinan. In the future, the wine production of Datang will definitely increase sharply. It has become an inevitable trend for it to enter the families of ordinary people.

Regarding the new grain, Li Chengqian did not mean to put all it in the warehouse. He contacted Weinan Food Factory and Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce, because these two enterprises can produce many good rice and noodle products, and their brands have been opened. The taste has been recognized by the general public, as long as the product is spread to more places, there will be stable sales.

By making rice and flour raw materials into various snacks and then selling them, not only will the imperial court not suffer losses due to overcharging [-]% more than the market price, but it may also make a small profit.

Therefore, the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce is about to open large-scale food branch factories in Guanzhong, Henan Province, Hebei Province, and Daduhufu in Andong. As for the Yangtze River Basin, especially the middle and lower reaches, it will directly use the local food produced in Shannan Province Production is responsible for sales, because after the goods here are produced, they can be shipped in bulk along the river very quickly.

To expand the industry, the first problem we have to face is the lack of management talents. Li Shimin, who knows the real-time information of the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce like the palm of his hand, immediately understood what Sun Xiangfu said before. The country wants to become more prosperous and powerful. People's wisdom is indeed necessary.

In mid-May, before Li Shimin set off for Lingnan, Wang Xu rushed to the No. [-] embankment with a large group of people.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu, who was busy with double robbing, didn't have time to receive them, but he couldn't stand them being surrounded by such a large group of people on the No. [-] embankment. This time, it wasn't Wang Xu's power group that came here. All the top-ranked families and local tycoons in the country sent people here, there were thousands of people, because the problems they encountered this time were all the same.

"As for things that can help the imperial court develop people's livelihood and enrich the people, I am willing to help, but time waits for no one. I only have one day to help you answer questions, so it is best to share some of the questions you have encountered. Summarize everything, divide it into difficulty and priority, and explain it clearly to me once, and those questions that can be postponed, you can ask me after I plant the next season of rice seeds."

"Brother Zhengming Gao Yi, I thank you in advance. This time, His Majesty's handling of things is a bit unfair. Do you want me to mobilize the power of the court and ask for an explanation for you? The increase in rice production is such a great contribution, not to mention the restoration of the official rank , at least you should be given back your freedom!" Wang Xu said after Sun Xiangfu's brief opening remarks.

"No need, it's good for me to stay in Jiuyuan County. Let's not waste time, let's get down to business! Later, His Majesty has set off for Lingnan. Isn't your current posture not in vain?"

Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled a little embarrassedly, and turned his face away.At this stage, they have already understood each other's intentions, and there is no need to hide it.

After turning his head, Wang Xu took advantage of the opportunity to give Chen Shen, who was below him, a look. After Chen Shen understood it, he said, "Mr. Sun, I don't know if we can go to the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce to learn the whole set Management technology?"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu nodded without thinking, "Of course it is possible. I opened a civil school in Jiuyuan County, and I didn't stop any people from other places to study. However, I suggest that you not only learn business management by yourself. In this way, you need to mobilize officials and people in the places where the projects you are cooperating with to come to Jiuyuan County to learn.

The business and management systems of the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce and the Jiuyuan County Government are all open to the public. Only when you have learned everything in all aspects can you transfer this set of management concepts to other places, so that in practice In the production and operation of the company, overall progress has been achieved, the goal of making money and making money has been achieved, so that the local people can really live a good life.

Of course, I am asking you to learn, not to ask you all to copy the industry in Jiuyuan County. Everyone who has a business in your family knows that everyone does the same business, and the final result is that no one has If you make money, you can't continue to operate. Moreover, even if you copy these industries in Jiuyuan County, you will definitely not be as competitive as Jiuyuan County. You will be squeezed to the point where you cannot make a profit and eventually go bankrupt.

Therefore, you should focus on opening up more new industries, so as to have better profitability. "

"However, we don't have your ability, Mr. Sun, how can we open up so many new industries." Chen Shen spread his hands and said.

"This, in fact, is not difficult. Use your brains, investigate the market more, first figure out what you have, and then see what our Tang Dynasty lacks. In this way, you will know what you can do. Believe me, with you With the amount of information, it is not difficult to know what is more in demand and expensive in the market now!"

Sun Xiangfu seems to have said a lot of information, but he seems to have said nothing, because it depends on everyone to understand, but he did not stop, and even encouraged everyone to learn from the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce, which made many people present People who are not familiar with the current situation of Shannan Road and Jiuyuan County find it very useful.

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, a person in the crowd immediately said, "At present, the market is relatively tight and the price is relatively high, and what we don't have to worry about selling is medicine. During the Dingxiang Sports Conference last year, people from various countries first sent Dingxiang All the Chinese patent medicine pills on the market were wiped out, and they went to Shanyang again, wishing to buy the whole pharmaceutical factory, but the medicinal materials in the pharmaceutical factory are limited, and the types and quantities of pills that can be produced are also very limited, so the price is lowered. They've all raised the bar. It's a pity that we have the heart to make products in this area, but we are powerless!"

"It's not that you are powerless, but that you don't contribute. I heard that this time the imperial court allowed the people to form groups spontaneously. After operating the local area, there are nearly a thousand chambers of commerce that have applied to the imperial court to form cooperation with the local area. Among them, there are another 300. Many groups applied for projects to develop resources such as local coal or gold, silver, copper and iron ore. Among them, more than half of the resources were unknown to the court before, that is to say, more than half of the resource information was previously unknown. It was hidden from you."

Hearing what Sun Xiangfu said, the expressions on the faces of many representatives of the aristocratic families who had hidden this information before were a little unnatural.

His eyes swept over the faces of these people, and Sun Xiangfu said again, "I don't want you to contribute what you have hidden. After all, those things were obtained at the price of your ancestors. And no one should enjoy the benefits of this information in vain.

I just want to tell you that it is meaningless to hide it like this. With the current development speed of Datang, those things you hide will soon become worthless. Is gold, silver, copper and iron ore so valuable?Not necessarily, the further you go in the future, the labor costs for you to develop these minerals will be higher, and you may not be able to obtain its development rights, but if you don't make major changes quickly, they will fall apart and fall apart. "

"Falling apart? Brother Zhengming is a bit alarmist!" Wang Xu answered deliberately.

Sun Xiangfu didn't realize his intention to say this for a while, and said, "I can boldly predict here that within three years, among the families here, there will be family disintegration. This kind of disintegration will become a trend, and after ten years, only the aristocratic families that have successfully changed in this round can survive."

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's swear words, the faces of representatives of many aristocratic families became serious.
