Chapter 71: Your vision is still too short-sighted. The words of the two men immediately woke me up from my daze.

He glanced at the surrounding scenery with some confusion, including ordinary stone bridges and ponds, as if he had just had an illusion.

"strangeness."

After muttering, I didn't think much more, thinking that I had just had an epiphany.

He said to Li Yuanji:

"Little friend Li Yuan, we meet again.

Li Yuan asked me:"How is your Go practice going?""

I smiled and said:"Pindao came here today just to compete with my little friends on chess."

"It seems that you are very confident."Li Yuan smiled faintly.

Master Xuandu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Li Yuan, who was not yet in the Earthly Immortal stage, could talk to the teacher calmly and without any restraint.

It was just as the teacher said, he had extraordinary bearing. Calm and calm.

Ji Chang said excitedly to Li Yuan:

"After listening to his husband's words yesterday, Ji Chang felt enlightened and benefited a lot. However, Ji Chang still had some doubts and couldn't figure out the answers on his own, so he came here to ask his teacher for advice."

Ji Chang did not directly ask Li Yuan to serve as prime minister in Xiqi. He planned to build a closer relationship first and then reveal his purpose. This way, the success rate would be higher.

"What questions do you have?"Li Yuan asked calmly.

Ji Chang:"Mr. said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the economy is the most important. It's just that I thought about it for a long time last night and couldn't think of a way to strengthen the economy.……"

I was confused. who I am? Where am I?

He knew every word Ji Chang said, but he just didn't know what Ji Chang was talking about.

Is this some kind of dialect?

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

Thinking of this, I suddenly showed an expression of rapt attention, and Xuandu was also confused.

Seeing that I was listening with rapt attention, he immediately showed admiration.

As expected of Master, he even understands this.

Li Yuan did not rush to answer Ji Chang's question, but asked Laozi:

"Lao Li, do you want Shaoyao to play a game of chess with you first?"

"No need," I shook my head quickly and said,"I think what you said is quite interesting, I'll listen to it."

He wanted to know whether Li Yuan really had the talent to manage the country and benefit the people, which Ji Chang valued so much. He even called him"Sir"!

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

"There are many ways to develop the economy, but they can be summed up in two words - trade."

Trade!"

Ji Chang frowned and said:

"If everyone goes to trade, who will grow food? If there is no one to take care of the land, it will be abandoned in just one or two years. If there is a famine, where will the food be provided to relieve the victims?"

I nodded. He felt that what Ji Chang said was very reasonable.

It seems that Li Yuan did not have any talent in managing the world and benefiting the people. He actually encouraged business, which was just playing the piano randomly.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice. He suddenly He opened his mouth and said:

"The foundation of the country is still focused on agriculture, and doing business is a wrong way. Farmers work hard and live a hard life, while businessmen speculate and enjoy wealth. If trade is encouraged, it will only encourage people to pursue profits, which will shake the country's foundation, which is undesirable and undesirable."

"Alas, your vision is still too short-sighted."Li Yuan shook his head and sighed.

When Xuandu heard this, he couldn't help but tremble his horns.

I'm afraid he is the first person in history to dare to say that a saint is short-sighted?

I was so angry that my beard trembled, and he said unconvinced:

"Where am I short-sighted?"

Ji Chang looked at Li Yuan humbly.

Li Yuan held a fishing rod and explained:

"You only see that trade will reduce the labor force working on the land, but you don’t know that trade will greatly promote the exchange of goods, automatically adjust the supply and demand relationship, and stimulate the enthusiasm of merchants."

Li Yuan saw that both Ji Chang and Laozi were confused, and he immediately spoke more plainly:

"Let me use an analogy: if there are fewer people cultivating land and food production decreases, food prices will definitely rise. Businessmen are seeking profits, and when they see the price of food rising, they will definitely buy more food. When there is more food, food prices will fall. This is called automatically adjusting the relationship between supply and demand."

"However, for goods such as grain and salt that are related to people's livelihood issues, merchants cannot be allowed to do whatever they want. This needs to be regulated by the government."

"For example, when there is a bumper grain harvest, the government takes the initiative to collect grain at a high price to maintain grain price stability. When the price of grain is too high, the government releases grain to suppress the price of grain. When trade develops to a certain level, you can also go to other countries to trade grain to supplement domestic shortages.……"

Li Yuan told Ji Chang and Laozi the benefits of trade in a very detailed and straightforward manner.

Ji Chang and Laozi were a little confused at first, but when Li Yuan explained with examples, they immediately understood

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

After listening to Li Yuan's straightforward explanation about trade, Ji Chang couldn't help but clapped his hands in admiration.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the government took the initiative to adjust food prices made Ji Chang feel that it was of great benefit.

In this way, he was no longer afraid. The price of food in Xiqi has become unstable.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang couldn't help but admire Li Yuan's talent even more. He sincerely praised Li Yuan:

"Mr.'s talent is unparalleled."

I was also enlightened after hearing this. He realized that trade is indeed not as useless as he thought.

The most important thing is that I am sure that Li Yuan does have a great talent for managing the world.

No wonder Ji Chang thinks so highly of him!

It's over, Li Yuan With such a great talent, don't really serve Ji Chang as prime minister. What should Jiang Ziya do? I was secretly anxious. Li Yuan heard Ji Chang's praise and said disapprovingly:

"This is only the most superficial role of trade. On a deeper level, trade can even be used to control the economy of other countries, thus indirectly affecting other countries’ policies... But this is too profound. Now that I have said it, you will understand.."

I was actually despised. Three black lines suddenly appeared on my forehead.

"Mr. Gentleman's talent is beyond compare."Not only was Ji Chang not dissatisfied, but he nodded with a look of deep approval.

Master Xuandu looked on beside him and was dumbfounded.

This Li Yuan was really talented, and he actually gave guidance to the country in front of the saint.

Just this way of governing the country, even Even the saints were not as good as him.

No wonder the teacher valued him so much and wanted to accept him as his disciple!

Ji Chang was so excited that he wished he could immediately invite Li Yuan to Xiqi to be his prime minister.

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

"Sir, what do you think of Chengtang Jiangshan?"

I was moved in my heart and stared at Li Yuan. He wanted to know if Li Yuan had also figured out that Chengtang Jiangshan was about to run out of energy.
