"Next year, I believe that the farmers will be more willing to plant more peanuts.
"Once there were more items, the price would naturally drop. Plus, they are more willing to plant it because it will become a part of their income."
Actually, what Liu Yichen was talking about was the market law according to modern parlance.
If there were fewer things, the price would be higher, and vice versa. If there were more things, the price would naturally drop!
This was what many rural people complained about.
One item had sold for a good price last year, but the price of the same item had fallen to rock bottom this year.
This was only because everyone saw that this thing was making money last year, so they all put in all their effort and cultivated it on a large scale.
There were many people who planted it, and the market demand was only so big. Therefore, in order to meet the market demand, the extra stock would become very cheap.
