Seeing that Wang Anshi was suspicious, Du Zhongxiao said: "The He Da you went to ask about had an incident a few days ago. In addition to the clerk who used to be a banker, he first took over the work of raising ducks and selling eggs from the mall, and collected the sundries collected by small businessmen in the neighborhood for the mall. The small members of that family were angry that He Da left their house and left with Zhuang Ke back then. bullied He Da and wanted to take away He Da's business. ”

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It happened that this matter happened to be known by Clumsy Jing." She was not angry that He Da was bullied by a big family, and asked about it. Only then did he win the qualification of the big family to do this business, and Guangli Village Community. ”

Wang Anshi arched his hand: "Sister-in-law is a warm-hearted person, and she can't see the suffering of the poor." ”

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "It's nothing. Before establishing the village community, I asked the county magistrate to check the staff who were engaged in various businesses in the county. Those who have few assets and enter the middle and upper class households are the big ones in the past. Although the camp has given countless opportunities to the people in the vicinity, none of the low-class households have taken advantage of this to turn over and become the upper class. It was at that time that I realized that I might have thought badly. ”

"Although the poor will become rich and the rich will become poor in a few decades, there will not be many of them. The people of this dynasty are different from the previous dynasty, they are suddenly poor and rich, and they often lament the impermanence of the world. The reason why this is so is because the imperial court tax is pressed on the middle and upper class households, and once they can't make money, the tax can quickly bring down a large family. But when industry and commerce get up, there will soon be ways to avoid such taxes, which is not as good as before. ”

"To take the simplest example, take Kaifeng to Xiangzhou as an example. As commerce developed, the railway between the two places was crucial. If a few large families control the railway, they can get rich as long as they collect taxes on the people and goods transported from the railway. And they have this key, without the participation of the government, they can control the business of the two places as long as they do some business in the two places. This kind of business is sure to make money without losing money, and it can be passed on to children and grandchildren, and it has become another form of feudal lord. If the government does not take action to rectify the world, for decades, industries like this, which can be passed on to children and grandchildren, and can directly affect the flow of wealth, will be controlled by large and small forces. As the saying goes, officials do not have feudalism, but officials have feudalism, and local power is already feudal, coupled with the wealth passed down from generation to generation, the power and money are combined, and the place where the world's industry and commerce make money is divided, and the rest is just soup and water. ”

The process is of course more complicated, but that's the general principle. At the time of free trade, the capital that developed first would gather in transportation and trade, and gradually form a group and monopolize the circulation industry. The capital of the circulation industry is combined with the industrial capital, and the resources are integrated to form a monopoly capital that integrates several industries. Strong monopoly capital will squeeze out the profits of the entire industry and commerce, except for low risks, and form large capital that will be passed down from generation to generation, so that a new aristocracy will emerge in the era of capital. In the financial era, it becomes a combination of financial capital and industrial capital, and several large families control the lifeline of the economy. For example, in the feudal era of Europe, in the economic field, each aristocracy divided its own territory and formed a force.

Du Zhongxiao asked Lou Zhixian to check it out, and found that the camp had been busy for more than a year, and the middle- and upper-class households in the county were still the original families, so he discovered this problem. The scale of small places is not large, and a large household occupies an industry, which basically forms a monopoly, and other companies have no opportunity to compete. Ordinary people are unable to compete, and occasionally those who are particularly hardworking and capable will sooner or later be taken away by big families to make money.

This is the reason for the Guangli Village Community, if it does not do this, ordinary people will not even be able to drink the soup and water for industrial and commercial development.

As long as the economy develops, this accumulation effect is inevitable. Since it is the era of capital, the distribution of social wealth is determined by capital, and capital will gather to some key nodes. From transportation, ports, shops, to the financial field in the financial era, hold the most critical places. Just like the fiefdoms of the aristocracy, occupying the richest land in the world, as long as it is still an agricultural economy, their position is unshakable. The faster the economic development, the faster the accumulation of large capital, and the completion of each side, most of the social wealth will go to their hands.

The process that Du Zhongxiao is most familiar with is housing prices. When society is booming, the house is really used for living, and the house price is not high. When the development reaches a certain level, when the whole country has formed a large capital, and the local government has also formed a small capital entrenched in one side, housing prices have risen rapidly. In the process, the savings of most people in society were eaten up by housing prices, and some people were saddled with decades of debt.

After decades of hard work, just because he changed his house to live in, he became a person with huge debts, where did the money go? Of course, there is a house, the debt is not a debt, as long as the house is sold, the money will not come back. Is this possible?

Of course not. In the process of rising house prices, a lot of money is siphoned off by intermediaries. It is necessary to reverse this process, and those who have a house sell their houses and exchange them for money again, and the money withdrawn from the intermediate links will not come back, and the house prices can only fall. How much does it fall? How much money has been withdrawn in the process of rising housing prices, at least this value must be dropped, and then the money drawn again in the middle of the falling process must be dropped.

In the midst of this rise and fall, the distribution pattern of social wealth has changed, and a large number of capital has been gathered in the hands of the intermediate links. This can be personal capital, or it may be national capital, after all, it has become capital from personal wealth.

This is not only possible for houses, but also for many industries. Capital that entrenches and controls certain key links, or directly controls the rise and fall of a place, will continue to gain additional wealth from the ups and downs, draw out to consolidate its position, and eventually form a giant and form a feudal aristocracy in the new era. The world is peaceful, and basically the new feudal lords of all sizes have consolidated their territory in the economic field.

Du Zhongxiao worked hard to build camps and fields, build railway supervisors, and build shopping malls, but he did not invite rural landlords to enter the city and then become a master. This is another role of government-run industry and commerce, just like the central army of military power in the feudal era, which can cut down the feudal domain at any time.

Wang Anshi listened to Du Zhongxiao talk about the prospects of economic development, and only felt that it was a fantasy talk. This has never happened, will it happen? When Du Zhongxiao talked about cutting the domain, his eyes lit up, this is the politics he is familiar with.

Du Zhongxiao said: "I have heard people say that the most important thing to govern the world is two things. Compare the wealth of the world to a big pie, one is to make a big pie, and the other is to divide the pie. Now is the time for us to make a big pie, and it is thriving, everyone is happy, and it seems that the world is all right. When the pie is no longer bigger, it can only be divided. Businessmen, workers, and farmers, those rich and powerful people always want to eat an extra piece, and other ordinary people get less and less, and in the end they can't eat, and the world is in turmoil. Jiefu often said that to give out the rich people's treasures to help the poor people in the world, in fact, it is to take food from the mouths of powerful people, so that the people can get a little more. Is it easy to do this? Hard. The powerful people are also the people of the court, and taking food from them is also a harmful move to the people. One is not good, the people are angry, the officials are also resentful, things can't be done, and they can't please them. ”

"At this time, whether it is the iron supervisor of the government, the camp field, or the shopping mall under the Changping Division, in the hands of the government, all kinds of industries of agriculture and industry are complete. In addition, the railways and canals are in the hands of the government, so you can directly smash the table and start all over again. Just as feudalism threatens the imperial court, then cut the feudal domain. Without these government-run industries, it would be like having no army in your hands, and you can't cut the feudal domain if you want to. Borrowing troops from other vassal kings? No, no. ”

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and if the official wants to break the economic feudal pattern formed, it needs its own army in its hands. In the era of agricultural economy, the vast number of small yeoman farmers were the economic and military power in the hands of the imperial court, and in the industrial age, they were replaced by government-run industry and commerce.

At the beginning, it was a few large economies run by the government that continued to release benefits to the outside world. Typical examples are the iron prisons, not only the workers who work in it, but also all kinds of small economies that are separated from it, which are constantly developing. When the external monopoly is formed, the official force will be mobilized to destroy the monopoly industries one by one, and the benefits will be released again. At this time, efficiency and fairness are both lost, and that can't be taken into account.

Du Zhongxiao told Wang Anshi about this because most of the changes in his history were re-divided. The wealth of the people was used by the imperial court, and there were countless oppositions, and the sequelae were really unsupportable. If you don't re-divide the cake and just smash the private monopoly industry and start over, it will be much more peaceful.

Wang Anshi is not afraid of offending people, is he not afraid, this job is the most suitable for him. Du Zhongxiao is not afraid of a bad reputation, but he is really in a happy mood when he develops, and when he smashes the plate, he will inevitably have negative energy everywhere, and he still avoids it well.

This time will not be long, twenty or thirty years later, it will be necessary to smash dishes in some industries and cut the feudal domain. Twenty or thirty years later, it happened to be the time when his own group of jinshi became the backbone of the imperial court. Leave an introduction first, so that Wang Anshi can be fully prepared.
