Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1172

[Chapter 797 Contradiction intensifies before war]

Zhang Xiaobao had already made preparations. It would be strange not to discuss business affairs when Bi Gou was fishing.

Hearing Bi Gou’s words, he said, “Grandpa Bi is right, there are big fish and no small ones, eh? Grandpa Bi, would you be happy if a fish farmer encounters such a situation? Fishing. People are also happy.”

“Okay, good, good, but Xiaobao, can you guarantee that there are a thousand fish of different sizes in a pond, but in the end there are still a thousand big fish? If there are only a hundred big fish left. , the other 900 fish will be gone.”

Bi Gou swung the pole twice, and picked up the hook, and found that the earthworms were gone, and the fish could not see each other, so he had to continue to hang the bait, look sideways at Zhang Xiaobao, and wait for his reply. .

Yao Chong, who was next to him, didn’t seem to hear the conversation between the two. He stared straight at his own float, the breeze was blowing, and his beard flew together, indescribably leisurely and at ease.

Others who came from Yao Chong and Bi Gou stayed far away, knowing that your lord has important state affairs to discuss.

Don’t underestimate fishing, it depends on who you are fishing with. If you are fishing with Zhang Xiaobao, the master will always have a great harvest, which is much more important than the fish.

Zhang Xiaobao looked like he was thinking, but he was actually thinking about what to cook at noon. If there were enough fish, he could make a whole fish feast. If the results were not good, he would have to serve other dishes. Habit.

It wasn’t until Bi Gou changed the bait twice that Zhang Xiaobao said in his expectant gaze, “How about separating the big fish from the small ones? For example, the black fish, so that there are no other fish around.”

“The black fish also eat the black fish .

.” Bi Gou reminded.

“Yes, it eats the same kind. Then keep each black fish alone.” Zhang Xiaobao came up with another idea.

“Then can it grow up? Isn’t it starving to death? Xiaobao, tell me something useful.” Bi Gou began to ask, and he found out that Zhang Xiaobao was fooling.

Clearly a sloppy eye.

Just as Zhang Xiaobao was about to answer, the fishing rod bent, so he could hang his hand, and quickly grabbed the fishing rod and shouted to Wang Juan: “Take the net, this fish shouldn’t appear in this river, it’s evil.”

Wang Juan reacted very quickly, and with a swoosh, he probed the net into the water, and then the river surface tossed for a while.

When the net was lifted, there was a fat-headed fish still struggling.

After weighing it twice, Wang Juan said, “It weighs at least 12 pounds.”

“It’s not too big, I finally have fish head soup to drink. I’m still thinking about finding a few crucian carp, save it.” Zhang Xiaobao helped to change the fish. In another net, down to the river, rubbing his hands together and rejoicing.

Yao Chong’s throat, who had been silent, moved, and

Bi Gou swallowed.

saliva.

〖〗 excitedly said: “Xiaobao’s fish soup is delicious.”

One dish was solved at noon, Zhang Xiaobao put on the bait again, returned to the topic of fishing, and said with Yao Chong: “Big fish eat small fish No problem. As long as the small fish is not dead, but alive in the belly of the big fish. Eat it as you please.

Maybe the small fish will eat more water plants than they usually eat with the big fish. When fish and fish grow together, fish farmers will be happy.”

After listening to Zhang Xiaobao, Bi Gou lowered his head to think, and asked, “Do all the small fish have to take the initiative to be eaten by the big fish? If there are some small fish If you don’t get eaten by the big fish, and you can’t compete with the big fish and the small fish that are eaten by the big fish, will you starve to death?”

“Yes, even the big fish are equally dangerous, accidentally falling into the shoal, or eating the wrong thing. , even if bitten by other big fish, who can escape the cycle of life and death, the never withered huā is a fake huā.”

Zhang Xiaobao did not continue to ponder this time, because he found that Yao Chong also caught a black fish, and it seemed that there were three Jin, another dish came out at noon.

According to the current time, there is absolutely no problem in catching another ten or eight. You can do a whole fish feast. Naturally, you don’t need to think about ways for lunch.

Bi Guru knew that Zhang Xiaobao’s thinking was because he was worried about lunch, and it was estimated that he could push Zhang Xiaobao into the river. Don’t you know which is more important?

“Talk about fish, don’t talk about huā.” Bi Gou reminded, let Zhang Xiaobao continue to talk about the topic of fish, saying huā would be inferior, and then turned his head and instructed Wang Juan: “Cuckoo, you put two pieces of grass in the family. A shrimp pot, so that Xiaobao can fry it with salt and pepper to eat, old man, I have never understood why the salt and pepper that Xiaobao mixes are different from others, it seems to be the same thing.”

Wang Juan nodded and said to the side. The man gestured and replied, “Because, this is a… an exclusive recipe, a secret ancestral recipe, I hope it makes money.”

“Cuckoo, your three-year-old nephew likes to eat a soft-fried tenderloin. , and hand-cooked mutton, three years old, my husband remembers when I taught you and Xiaobao at the small pavilion in your house in Sanshui County, the two of you were the same age.”

Bi thought of eating For the time being, I will not ask Zhang Xiaobaoyu’s question, and start to recall.

Wang Juan did not correct Bi Gou’s statement that two dishes were good in one bite, but recalled the same appearance as before, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, “It was good then, Grandpa Bi, don’t worry, you will never do it. I missed my nephew’s stomach, so I turned around and asked someone to send 50 catties of salt and pepper to it, sealed it in a small bottle, and when you finished eating, send a telegram, and I’ll have someone send it back.”

Bi Gou nodded helplessly, and asked Zhang Xiaobao, “Xiaobao, you He said that too many fish died, what should we do with the river, there must be no fish in the river.”

Zhang Xiaobao naturally wouldn’t tell Bi Gou that the salt and pepper taste different because they had been roasted in a bamboo tube, otherwise, it would not take a few days to grow up. Tang people know it.

Following the words, Zhang Xiaobao said: “It’s easy to handle, since you are afraid of the lack of fish, put more fry first, and then try not to let them compete for food. If you are afraid that the food for the fish is still not enough, you can put crab fry, shrimp fry, and fish in a river. Too much is not a good thing, even the snail has a reason for its existence.”

Bi Gou said nothing, looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and waited for him to continue.

Zhang Xiaobao calmly pulled the fish up again, and then continued: “The importance of the river is that it provides nutrients to everything in your body, and most of the time you don’t need to do much, unless there is something It’s too long, and if something goes wrong, you need to do it yourself.

All species in the river are themselves a cycle. As long as they are maintained well, the river will not become stagnant water, and various things can be used at any time.

”

But I think the river is very dangerous now.

No matter what, it is easy to wash the embankment.

The wrinkles on Bi Gou’s face squeezed together, looking very sad.

Yao Chong also stopped his movements and looked at Zhang Xiaobao. Looking forward to a good solution.

Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao, she knew that it must be the old men The information collected by the dispatched economic intelligence personnel recently shows that there is a problem in Datang. The

main problem should be three aspects. One is that the material resources are too concentrated. Even if the land has been solved by other policies, other resources are still out of control. Then

there is the scale of labor, the capital operation begins to develop in other areas, and the work efficiency is improved. The cost is reduced, but it begins to impact the individual of the small handicraft industry. The same thing is produced, and the cost of large-scale factories is two cents when they are produced. Money, the individual craftsman is four cents of money. If you sell three cents, the individual will starve to death, even if it is four cents, it is just a free job, doing charity.

The third point is the most important, the income is not balanced, which is reflected in the employer and the Among the employed. It is reflected between business and other industries, between skilled and unskilled jobs, and between resource-rich and resource-poor areas. The

above three points are reflected in the first thing. Marriage. Animals also know to choose a strong one when mating, not to mention people. Then there is the relationship between neighbors. The consequence of not controlling is that everyone’s life is obviously much better than before. But it still feels not as good as before. If

the

polarization is too serious, it will subvert the regime.

In fact, there are two other points, namely resource hoarding and price monopoly. It’s just that today’s businessmen don’t dare, for fear that once they do, Xiaobao will get angry and attack them. The terrible thing, even if Xiaobao does not use administrative means, no businessman has the confidence to say that he is not afraid and clamor for a comparison.

Not to mention businessmen like them, even if they knew a lot of ways, they wouldn’t dare to play economics with Xiaobao. You must know that the rules and laws of various industries were already perfect at that time, and Xiaobao could still find ways to deceive people.

Some people cannot be judged by common sense. Those who can be the chairman and the president are very powerful, and those who can be qualified international fraudsters are equally rewarding.

“There is a war to fight, and it’s easy for Xiaobao to solve it.” Wang Juan thought about it and said it casually.

“War? Oh, it turns out that the two of you have been waiting for this opportunity. Of course, the war can only be resolved temporarily, but not for the rest of your life.” Bi Gou was stunned. Instead, they came to Yizhou for a stroll.

It turned out to be waiting for domestic conflicts to intensify, and then sending troops. The people who can’t find good jobs are labor, and production will also be accelerated, resources will be consumed more, and the people’s attention will turn to other areas.

One word, wait.

“The question is when will we wait?” Bi Gou didn’t think there would be a big problem if it continued as it is now. It’s okay to last three years and five years, and it can handle it for ten or eight years.

“Wait for the new policy of the imperial court to come down.” Zhang Xiaobao stopped talking about fish.

“Which policy?” Yao Chong couldn’t help asking.

“A series of policies and a basket of plans, the administrative plan is transmitted to each county by telegram, and the day after the announcement is made, the cannon roars. Then, within a few years, the country will be smooth and the people will be safe, wait a few years, and then If there is a problem, solve it again, if you want a once-and-for-all solution, I don’t have the ability.”

Zhang Xiaobao freed one hand and pointed in the direction of Duochi, meaning to hit it.

Bi Gou couldn’t help but shivered a bit. Looking at Yao Chong, Yao Chong also showed fear. He didn’t know how ruthless the policy was, and he needed to launch a war immediately to divert the conflict.

“The war is over, or the Tang Dynasty is not in a hurry anymore, isn’t the problem still there?” Bi Gou felt that the war could not solve the fundamental problem of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head: “No, no problem, manpower is needed, and it is the kind with high income and low requirements, it is nothing more than a merger of resources, a trivial matter, as long as it is not necessary for people’s living resources and land resources to be destroyed. Mergers can’t be messed up. I want to make the rich richer, and then they can increase the wages of the employees.”

“Xiaobao, I admit that you are very good, but I will never believe that you let them increase the wages of others, and they will listen to you. .” Bi Gou said rudely.

Yao Chong also nodded.

“It’s not that I let them improve, but they will improve even if I don’t let them improve. It’s still very urgent, and I can’t stop it.” Zhang Xiaobao replied firmly.
