Chapter 88: The market theory of court debate


   Tai Chi outside the palace.
   Li Zexuan waited boredly for Li Er to summon him there.
   When there is nothing to do, he just looks around. Of course, the line of palace ladies who are leaning against the wall outside the hall are the ones he looks at most.
Most of these palace ladies are young and beautiful, and they also wear pink low-cut skirts. Li Zexuan has magical skills and has excellent eyesight. You can see the white and tender big steamed buns exposed in the air from far away, and there is nothing in the middle. The gully, it feels as if he is holding a binoculars and looking at beautiful women.
   Uh, it's not that Li Zexuan is shameless and obscene, it's really boring to stand here, and he can't go to the pavilion next to him to rest.
   Li Zexuan looked at this beautiful spring, but he was slandering in his heart: This Li Er can really enjoy, let so many young and pretty beauties wear such a low-cut skirt to serve themselves.
   If someone who didn't have a girlfriend in his previous life traveled to the Tang Dynasty and became the emperor, and saw so many beautiful beauties like flowers and jade, I'm afraid it will be fine #尽# What?
   Li Zexuan was thinking wildly here, and suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from the hall: "Let Li Zexuan see you~"
   Li Zexuan quickly entered the hall gently.
   The first time I saw Li Er, it was a lie to say that I was not nervous. This was a feudal society, and imperial power was supreme. If Li Er was unhappy, wouldn't it be soeasy to kill myself! Therefore, Li Zexuan was a little cautious.
   "Xiaomin Li Zexuan, see Your Majesty."
   Li Zexuan bowed and bowed. Yes, he just bowed, instead of kneeling down. The Tang Dynasty did not bow and bowed. Before the Song Dynasty, it was impossible for the county official to kneel down as the prefect. In the Tang Dynasty, the ruler was generally sitting and the minister stood.
   Li Zexuan also didn't say those long live long live our emperor long live long live long live the second sentence. On the way here, Du Gumou told him the emperor's etiquette to meet the emperor in great detail, so Li Zexuan did not make a joke.
   "No ceremony, flat body." A majestic voice came from the hall.
   Li Zexuan straightened his waist and raised his head.
Li Er saw that the young man in front of him was beautiful and juvenile, but with sharp features. His eyebrows revealed a sense of fortitude and a unique ethereal beauty. What surprised Li Er most was that the young man saw him for the first time, and he was neither humble nor overbearing. Not the slightest fear.
   Li Er nodded secretly, this young man can be regarded as a talent.
   You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, appearance was clearly used as the criterion for selecting officials. People who look too ugly can not be officials. Of course, the founding generals such as biting gold, Yuchigong, Niu Jinda, etc. are exceptions.
   Li Er is looking at Li Zexuan, and Li Zexuan is also looking at Li Er secretly. He is very curious about the ancient Tang Taizong who has been passed down in history, and wants to see what he looks like.
I saw Li Er wearing a crown of heaven, wearing a python dragon robe, and the hanging pearl ears were exactly flush with his eyes. Under the shining of ninety-nine giant butter candles, the brilliance was radiant, just like the glamour of later generations. The singer makes people dizzy and can't see what a person looks like at all. This is probably the biggest effect of the Sky Crown.
   Li Zexuan was quite depressed. He secretly said that Li Ertai was so small, and he didn't let others see what he looked like. Could it be that he looked too ugly?
If Li Er knew what Li Zexuan was thinking, he would have to cut this kid out. When he was young, Li Er was also a well-known ranger in Taiyuan, with handsome looks and good skill, how could he be as unbearable as Li Zexuan thought. Into the head.
   Li Er Shen said: "Li Zexuan, do you know, what do I call you today?"
   "Xiaomin doesn't know."
   The corner of Li Zexuan's mouth twitched. How did I know that the cold-faced general Dugumou didn't tell him, where would he know where to go?
   Li Er pretended to be severe and said:
"Huh, since you don't know, then I will tell you in person. Just now Taifu Temple Yuan Shaoqing impeached you to buy chicken seedlings, causing the price of chicken seedlings and eggs to skyrocket in Chang'an City. You are driving up prices, cholera market, and affecting people's livelihood. This is one crime; in addition, Wei Zuocheng impeaches you for showing off your strange skills and selling scooters, which disturbs the order of Chang'an and affects the safety of children. This is the second crime, Li Zexuan, what can you say?"
   Li Zexuan was shocked. He really didn't expect that a minister would make a fuss about these two things. His mind turned sharply. After a while, he stepped forward and bowed to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, Xiaomin has something to say."
   Li Er nodded and said: "Just tell me."
   Li Zexuan asked the minister next to him:
   "Dare to ask who is Yuan Shaoqing?"
   Cheng Yaojin, who was next to him, pointed to Yuan Wendao, who was full of blood, with a smile: "This is Yuan Shaoqing."
   Li Zexuan glanced at Cheng Yaojin, and Cheng Yaojin nodded at him with deep meaning, so that he was relieved.
   Yuan Wendao stood up and said: "The official is Taifu Temple Shaoqing, how are you doing?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Yuan Shaoqing impeached me to drive up prices. The kid has something to say. Xiaomin needs chicken fry, but the quantity needed is a bit large. Xiaomin uses his own money to go to the East Market to buy what he needs. May I ask Yuan Shaoqing, Xiao The people have violated the law of my Datang? Is there a provision in the law of my Datang that the people cannot buy chicken fry on a large scale?"
   Yuan Wendao quibbled: "You belong to hoarding, driving up prices and disrupting the market. If you raise the price of chicken and eggs so high, how can ordinary people afford it?"
   Li Zexuan walked to Yuan Wendao, looked in his eyes, and said:
"Yuan Shaoqing, chicken seedlings are not like grain and grass. They are strategic materials. How can they be hoarded? The so-called market is nothing more than supply and demand. Supply is less than demand, and prices will naturally rise. Is it possible that the ordinary people need something and they have to consider buying it. Will it cause his prices to rise in the future? If this is the case, how good is this market for people's livelihood?
What's more, Yuan Shaoqing, you only see the price increase of chicken fry and eggs, the people can’t afford to eat eggs, but Shaoqing, why don’t you see that because of the price increase of chicken fry and eggs, there are tens of thousands of farmers near Chang’an City that have extra money for selling their own eggs. Profit?
The whole world is profitable. Where the market is where supply is less than demand, it will naturally balance the relationship between supply and demand through the mutual circulation of goods in different regions. The market has its own adjustment ability. If human intervention is forced, it will only backfire and let the market. Lose vitality. "
   "Okay, well said!"
   Although Cheng Yaojin doesn't understand these market theories, he thinks what Li Zexuan said is so powerful.
   Fang Xuanling listened to Li Zexuan's words~EbookFREE.me~ and was quite surprised. At this moment, he stood up and bowed to Li Er:
   "Your Majesty, what Li Zexuan said is quite reasonable, and it also impressed the old ministers. Perhaps we should reflect on the market management system of Datang."
  Li Zexuan gave Fang Xuanling a grateful look. Although he didn't know the official in front of him, he had a unique perspective and could see the limitations of the current market system. Li Zexuan was a little grateful and admired for him.
   As a commodity trading place, the market in the Tang Dynasty cannot be formed spontaneously because of a certain development of commodity economy in a certain place, nor is it a natural product or inevitable result of economic development.
   In the Tang Dynasty, the right to set up and abolish the market was clearly owned by the government and was determined by the government's will. Of course, this completely government-led market system was not conducive to the development of the market and would only gradually lose its vitality.
   Li Er didn't expect that Li Zexuan would say so, and what was even more unexpected was that Fang Xuanling would also stand up and speak for him.
   This old subordinate himself is an expert in the history, foresight, and vision. He did not expect that he would agree with Li Zexuan's words.
   Li Er just called Li Zexuan over to see him today, and didn't mean to ask him for crimes, but he didn't expect to be unexpectedly happy. He nodded thoughtfully to Fang Xuanling, and said, "Fang Aiqing, we will discuss this later."
   He looked at Li Zexuan again and said, "In this case, I will not pursue your charge of driving up prices to disrupt the market, but I still have to ask, what do you kid do with so many chicken fry?"
   Cheng Yaojin heard Li Er's question and raised his ears. Hearing what Li Zexuan had to say, he was also quite curious.
   Li Zexuan's heart trembled, the question he didn't want to answer the last time came.
