"To prevent the situation where, every time there's a natural disaster or human calamity and the court buys grain, those grain shops take the opportunity to raise grain prices, not to mention that they go and buy grain from the common people but deliberately lower the price, making profits from both ends, it's simply exploitative."
Ye Zi'an, upon hearing this, brightened up, "What you said makes sense, my wife. If the grain prices are controlled by the state, it can prevent merchants from exploiting the prices during disaster years, and at the very least, it ensures the farmers' interests to a certain extent. So that the grain they painstakingly grow each year isn't valued solely by what merchants dictate."
Speaking of this, Ye Zi'an became excited, stood up, hugged Yang Chuxia, and planted a flurry of kisses on her face, "I need to send an urgent letter to my cousin immediately."
