Contrary to the derping in this thread, mercantilism, price fixing, and planned economies were pretty common in the stupider ages. They had to be considering how unpredictable things like the weather could result in an entire kingdom starving.

yeah that's a terrible idea. so many products don't require planned distribution to be distributed evenly or fairly.
