Chapter 282 Chapter 270 Nine
The role of the Chamber of Commerce has begun to show. It only took Su Xi three days to sort out a table of material price changes in various parts of the Tang Dynasty in the past year.

When Fang Xuanling saw the detailed material change table, his expression was astonished. He asked Su Xi to sort it out, and at the same time asked officials from the three provinces and six ministries to sort it out. The speed was not so fast at all.

"Very good, it seems that the channel of the chamber of commerce is very good."

Fang Xuanling looked at it based on the principle that cheap grain hurts farmers, and rare things are more expensive. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

"With the huge dividends gained from foreign wars, people from aristocratic families to ordinary people have forgotten the concept of saving because the money came too fast."

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly.

War money is so cool, especially when they are still a predatory war.

"Yes, Fang Xiang, and because a large number of foreign slaves poured into various factories, under the bloody capital, many commodities experienced explosive growth, so there was no large-scale price increase, but you have also seen that once Jiangnan and other places When the wealth explodes, the price will definitely soar.”

Su Xi smiled wryly.

Fang Xuanling rubbed her head, it was too difficult.

"Housing, an appropriate increase can stimulate the market, and business taxes can be harvested, but a large-scale surge will definitely harm the people."

Su Xi tried hard to persuade.

Fang Xuanling got up and started to circle around, he was really embarrassed.

"Transporting goods from Hebei and other places to Jiangnan, some civilian prices are temporarily fixed, and large-scale price increases are not allowed. Let Chen Shuda supervise, and the profits that can be earned from food, cloth, etc. will be enough. Whoever raises the price will kill him.

As for luxury accessories and the like, there is no need to worry about them. "

Fang Xuanling said viciously.

Su Xi went to write the order, and soon it passed the review and began to execute it.

At the same time, all officials from the six ministries of the three provinces were called into the palace by Li Er.

As soon as he entered the palace, Fang Xuanling began to talk about the problems he found.

"Looking at plum blossoms is just to quench thirst. This can only solve the current problem. The key now is the food problem. As the population increases, we have to face the problem of food again.

Grain production must be increased within three years, otherwise we can only keep fighting outside.

The foundation of everything is food. "

Wei Zheng pointed directly at the loophole.

Everyone else nodded.

"That's right, the root of everything is food. People can do more things only when they are full."

Samurai Yi expressed his support for Wei Zheng's opinion.

"Then continue to increase the production of farm tools and sell them to the common people at a low price, only asking for a cost price.

Land reclamation, frantic land reclamation, and outward expansion, and strive to study the issue of increasing grain production. "

Li Er ordered directly and coldly.

The people below pondered.

Then Changsun Wuji said with a helpless wry smile: "Your Majesty, our Labor Day has almost reached its limit now. All the factories are running crazily, and we can't spare more people to produce farm tools."

population constraints.

This is the biggest problem that Datang needs to face now.

"Can't squeeze out at all?"

Li Er's face was embarrassing. With so many people in Datang, he couldn't squeeze out a few people from the factory.

Changsun Wuji shook his head.

Wang Gui, who had been standing behind, came out.

"Your Majesty, not only the imperial court is employing people, but many merchants and aristocratic families also have their own factories, and they are also employing people, and they are gradually replacing them with hard work.

But even so, we have no one available. "

Wang Gui explained helplessly.

Li Er was furious, and he got up and cursed: "I don't care, what's the purpose of raising you, I raised you to solve the problem, if you can't solve the problem, get out of here."

Li Er's anger made the others bow their heads in silence.

The situation of insufficient manpower is not unprecedented in history.

When the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, there was a shortage of population.

It's not that no one is available, but that under the military merit system, a large number of people have joined the army, and there is no way to transfer people from all over the place.

Faced with such a situation, we can only find ways to increase the utilization rate.

It was at this time that Qin Chao played with things such as assembly lines and standard weapons.

Li Er is going crazy in the face of the huge achievements and great achievements, and he will never allow his subordinates to delay.

Wei Zheng wanted to persuade a few words, but he opened his mouth, and finally forgot.

Everyone retreated and began to think of ways to give Li Er a chance to calm down.

At this time, Su Xi is staying in the general prison. As a person who has been hanging out in the three provinces all year round, he has some data and materials on Datang, and knows the current predicament of Datang.

Seeing the hard work of the various researchers in the general supervisor, Su Xi sighed in her heart, and now she can only take the mechanized route.

Without mechanization, Su Xi couldn't figure out what else Datang could do. With a population of more than 1000 million but less than 2000 million, what a ghost he can do.

To put it bluntly, with these populations, even some super-large cities in later generations can't compare.

But they do generate enough GDP.

So Su Xi knew that the next one might be his tiring period, and that group of stinking and shameless civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty would definitely reproduce the situation in the Qin Dynasty and replace manpower with machinery.

As expected by Su Xi, when Fang Xuanling came down from court, he decisively summoned him.

When Su Xi came to the three provinces, a group of bigwigs from the Tang Dynasty were guarding here waiting for him.

"Machinery replaces manpower, and it's the turn of the general to use monitoring methods.

Some of our next policies will necessarily change with the new machines that will be used as prisons. "

Du Ruhui opened his mouth and said straightforwardly.

The corner of Su Xi's mouth twitched wildly. Although she was prepared, she felt that this group of people thought highly of her.

"I try my best."

Can only say these three words.

What can he do, he is also very helpless, he is just an ordinary person.

"By the way, the first batch of students from the Imperial Academy, that is, the group of people from the Longyou Temporary Technical School, I want all of them, and get them all to be generals.

They have been exposed to some of the earliest mechanical knowledge, and it is okay to use it now. "

Su Xi made her request.

"Yes, I'll give you everything. If they make trouble or don't work hard, you have the right to deal with them."

Fang Xuanling made a decision.

He is a playboy himself, although he is a bit talented, he still doesn't bother to watch it. It is good for someone to take over.

Seeing their decisive appearance, Su Xi felt that she must have dug a hole and buried herself in it.

In the following time, Fang Xuanling personally took over the Chamber of Commerce and began to use various forces to balance the prices in Jiangnan. At the same time, the prices of the grasslands also entered his eyes.

A one-size-fits-all policy of violence will balance out all prices that involve people's livelihood, and gradually balance prices that do not involve people's livelihood.

At the same time, various regions began to continue to build factories on a large scale.

All kinds of wages were paid out, and the crazy Datang monarchs directly established township enterprises. Because of the support of four-wheeled carriages and prairie horses, Datang was already qualified to engage in the basic transportation industry.
