Chapter 818 (1/2)
This kind of problem is really a headache. Although the vegetable country is a country dominated by agriculture, it is a small country after all, surrounded by mountains and nature, so the land resources for cultivation are very limited.
A large number of crops will be planted, and foreign trade will be exchanged for national taxes, leaving only daily national expenses. It can only be said that it is a state of self-sufficiency. It's just that there is a little surplus to exchange for some money!
Water tree does not have much research on the governance of the country, but at least knows that ensuring adequate food and stable prices are the foundation of national stability. If the people don't have enough food to eat, and they can't buy food at the right price, it's not necessary to explain how many peasant uprisings happened in China in 5000 years?
Originally thought that the task was very simple, but now it seems to be in a deadlock, just when I don't know what to do, and I have a headache. Shuishu heard Princess Chunnai ask the minister under his hand: ”how much grain is in the Treasury?”
Do you need to use the grain from the state treasury? This is a matter of great determination, because the grain in the National Treasury is a guarantee, and the country needs it in times of difficulties.
Most of the ministers hold an attitude of opposition: ”the Treasury is the foundation of the country. In case of natural disasters or insect disasters, it is necessary for the Treasury to open warehouses and release grain to stabilize grain prices. How can it be used?”
Shuishu doesn't think it's very practical. Of course, from her own point of view, she really hopes to do so.
The princess Chunnai here said: ”people usually farm their own food at home. Generally, even if they are affected by disasters, they can last for a long time. What's more, in recent years, there have been few disasters in the country. This year is a sunny and windy year. The crops in the farmland are growing very well. Just reserve more crops in the second half of the year. ”
It sounds like there is no problem. After all, the Treasury keeps grain to ensure the price stability. But if it doesn't play its due role, it's natural to keep the food in the warehouse and make the best use of it.
Chunnai princess's words, let his ministers talk, the truth is everyone can hear, but said to use the Treasury thing, is really a bit difficult to decide.
Fortunately, Princess Chunnai said, ”you should know that our country of food almost died a few years ago, relying entirely on the help of the country of fire. Now the fourth World War is about to break out, which involves the whole world. Our country of cuisine is a small country. We can't send troops to participate in the war. But in order to repay our kindness and contribute to the world, we can still use the national treasury to provide food, right
When all the ministers heard that even the name of their own family said so, what reason could they find to refute it? So we had to listen and start to report the grain reserves of the national treasury.
Rice and wheat are easy to store for a long time. Most of them are grain crops like this. There are several large warehouses like this. At least there are hundreds of tons of them. There are also vegetables and fruits harvested in the first half of the year, pickled products that have been salted with salt water and sugar water, and a variety of warehouses, which are worth more than ten tons.
When I listen to it, I still think it looks like a lot of things. However, later Shuishu made an account and found that there are really not many. How many people are there in the whole world? Eighty thousand! A simple calculation shows that one hundred tons is equal to one thousand kilograms and one million jin. One million divided by 80000, each person's share of more than ten jin of grain.
