Wang Dashanqi said: "Vladimir Granath, you are so anxious that you are sweating profusely. What happened?"

"It's bad, the food is tight. I heard that prices are being raised in the northwest! In this way, the supply in Central Asia will be even more difficult!" Vladimir Granat said.

Wang Dashan was shocked, "Ah?"

Yekazelina Krimova also walked out from behind her desk, "Is there a price gouging in the northwest?"

The most stable thing in the entire China is from the eastern half and the western half has not been very stable, mainly because the establishment of China was the northeast and southeast, extending from both ends. The Great Northwest and Southwest were formally unified by the whole country after taking over Beijing, but more than two years have passed, and there are still some areas with serious lack of cadres.

The weak administrative construction of China will result in the fact that the landlord class in these administrative vacuum areas is still huge, and there is no industry in these places, and it still remains at the level and social appearance of the Qing Dynasty.

"What should we do now? Will we still send this telegram?" Wang Dashan asked.

"Send." Yekazelina Krimova said decisively: "This is two different things."

Wang Dashan nodded, "I guess Your Majesty should already know the situation now, right? Although Your Majesty is in Europe, his level of knowledge is still better than ours."

Wang Dashan is right, the cute CEO has indeed known it.

Princess Katrina Kaif informed Emperor Hua about the Northwest five hours ago.

Price gouging and hoarding are actually in line with economic principles. Rising prices are conducive to inducing supply to increase, thereby promoting price decline. If it is a period of stability, the Chinese government does not need to interfere with prices and can increase supply through rescue measures. The crazy growth of prices caused by rumors is due to information asymmetry and distorting demand, while neither the actual supply nor the actual demand has changed. The price increase will inevitably harm the interests of consumers. At this time, the government must take action, refute the rumors, and stop it in time.

The premise of a completely free competition market is that information is completely symmetrical, transparent and open, and the premise of raising market prices is that a large number of false transactions and rumors are created. Human cognition has limitations and cannot be dialectical about all information.

In other words, humans cannot see through the scammers: raising the market price itself violates the bottom line of market fairness, justice and integrity (the fairness, justice and integrity of the market is not born, just like the crime of killing and setting fire will not disappear naturally, and it requires people to maintain and guarantee it), and should be severely cracked down.

Supply relationship determines prices. When "price gouging and hoarding" occurs, the background must be that goods or services are in short supply. At this time, only when prices rise will it attract more merchants to enter this field, thereby providing more supply, and then there will inevitably be a rich supply and a decline in prices.

If prices are not allowed to be raised and stockpiled at this time, there will be no more supply of goods and services. At this time, the standards or quality of goods or services will decline, and inferior products will be used as good ones. The content of goods will shrink, and the packaging of things of one pound of one yuan will be changed to half a pound of one yuan, and the price will be increased in disguise.

To raise prices and hoarding goods is to take risks. Merchants are willing to take risks themselves and bear their own responsibility. Didn’t the high-ranking businessman Hu Xueyan collapse suddenly? If Hu’s generals took stocks as soon as possible, it would be a completely different world, and he would be even richer than the country. But even in the late Qing Dynasty, there was no administrative force interfering in Hu Xueyan’s behavior, and people only regarded Hu Xueyan’s crushing defeat as a business lesson.

However, in China, railways, mines, oil, gas, banks, land, and salt industries are all owned by the state. Raising prices and hoarding goods is not only unreasonable, but also illegal.

It is related to the definition of specific behaviors. Under the framework of the market economy, merchants have the right to decide the timing of buying and selling and behavior. However, the laws of different countries have different regulations. If several oligarchs plot to raise prices together, it is an act of destroying free competition in the market. In order to prevent malicious competition, many countries stipulate that a certain block can only open two convenience stores at most. The freer the Western countries, the more detailed the regulations are actually.

However, in this regard, the cute president’s previous approach was to make it through regulation, because China protects private ownership and protects the free economy!

"Do you want several provinces in the northwest to jointly carry out actions to rectify the market?" Princess Katrina Kaifu asked. Seeing that Emperor Hua was worried about military purchases and various pressures, he did not expect that at this time, another grain shortage in the northwest would be caused. This is still a normal year, which made Princess Katrina Kaifu very worried for His Majesty.

"I didn't expect that we were buying food around the world and did not cause any storm abroad. Instead, we ignited the landlords in China." Hua Huang said coldly.

"We are focusing on provinces outside the local area, but it is not easy to have problems. There are still many places in the northwest and southwest lack cadres, the customs of the people are not civilized, and there is little difference between them and the Qing Dynasty. This situation is normal. Let the local provincial government find a way to solve it themselves." Princess Katrina Kaif comforted Emperor Hua, "What can you do if your Majesty is in Europe?"

"What I'm angry about is not a large-scale hoarding act. What I'm angry about is that the world behind it is the hearts of the people! China has made so much effort, why are these landlord classes unwilling to transform into the bourgeoisie? Are the conditions for opening factories given by China not generous enough? Policy support, technical support, and financial support are the hope that central China, the northwest and southwest will keep up with the economic development of southeast China!" The cute president paced back and forth.

"Yes, this is not the behavior of a small group of people. This shows that it is a large number of people. In the past, the Qing court had to do this several times a year. This is the first large-scale outbreak in China. I thought that after the establishment of China, this behavior would disappear. It seems that our policy is too gentle, which makes these people start to get ready again." Princess Katrina Kaif said angrily. "Your Majesty, I think the economy cannot be completely free, and the reins should be tightened appropriately."

"Catherine, have Zhao Qingluo and the others arrived in Beijing?" asked Emperor Hua.

"Here, I arrived the day before yesterday." Princess Katrina Kaif reported: "As soon as they arrived, they sent a telegram to the President's Secretariat."

The cute president nodded, "It's a bumper year, and China has a large amount of grain reserves. Moreover, China is still increasing its purchase of grain from abroad, but because it is concentrated in coastal port cities, this can trigger food hoarding and grain prices will rise like crazy. If this continues, the northwest will be in chaos, and then it will affect the poor areas in central China and the southwest. The population in the southwest is large, and when this chaos occurs, the chaos will be huge! What I am most worried about is not this. I am now worried about whether there are some cadres colluding with the unscrupulous businessmen!"

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and said, "After all, most of the cadres are coming from now on from 1875 to 1878. Many people simply completed primary school education, and some even simply went to literacy classes. The threshold for joining the Huacui Party was too low, the time was short, and the investigation was not sufficient, which would make people take advantage of it. However, this was all because the speed of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty at that time was too fast, and some of the inevitable problems left behind could only be digested through time."

"These people are all people who don't cry without seeing the coffin. I think, now we can let Catherine start the exercise and let her and Zhao Qingluo stay in Shaanxi and Gansu! Shaanxi and Gansu are stable, and the entire northwest will be stable. I have thought of the name of the exercise, and it is called the idea of ​​eliminating the old!" said the cute president coldly.

"The old thought movement?" Princess Katrina Kaif repeated, "It's very big, but it's also very suitable. Everything can be summarized into the old thought."

"Well, go and generate electricity. Let's send it now." The cute president said decisively.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Katrina Kaif hurriedly left Emperor Hua's office.

"Wait." Emperor Hua suddenly remembered something and chased him out again, "I can also generate electricity to Yekazelina Krimova and Qiu Yun, Central Asia Province, the New Three Siberian Provinces, and North Korea Province, all of which can be done!"

"Okay, your majesty. They can contact each other by phone, and Catherine will command it in a unified manner." Princess Katrina Kaif nodded.

The cute CEO nodded, "Go."

Princess Katrina Kaifu wanted to stop His Majesty. She believed that at this time, doing so would cause changes, cause larger hoarding, and even cause disgust among the entire landlord class. However, Princess Katrina Kaifu did not say anything to stop His Majesty because she thought His Majesty was always right.

The cute president rubbed his sore temples. During this period, his pressure was indeed too great. It would be impossible to fight directly. The preparations for the war were not completed. Hua Huang is a cautious person. He was not sure of half-confidence and could not take action. However, at this time, such a big thing happened again.

Compared with the United Kingdom, although there is a gap in the overall national strength of the two sides, due to the advantages of the system, Emperor Hua was actually able to obtain more resources than Britain in the mobilization of war.

However, compared with the two regions of Central Asia and India, it is obvious that the British have a greater advantage, because the British have completed the construction of India's railway network, and India can also be regarded as a large area with a large population. Such an existence, coupled with the railway network, can be very convenient for the British to mobilize resources and form a stable rear.

With such a large rear in the hands of the British, even if there is no reinforcement in the country, the Indian Governor will have little problem with self-protection.
