Agriculture is the primary industry, and economic activities start from here, but things are so helpless, and the primary industry is the most difficult to profit from economic activities. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info farmers who farm all year round, can exchange very little money in their hands, is a real penny can't wait to be petaled in half. The reason is simple, their labor is exchanged for very few things that are considered commodities, and commercial activities in the living space are also very rare, where do they exchange money from? Idlers in the city, doing odd jobs casually, can earn dozens of dollars a day. The farmers who farm the land are willing to spend ten times as much effort, but who pays?

Collecting a penny from a farmer is equivalent to increasing the burden of a penny, and money itself is a kind of exploitation for them. The stronger the natural economy, the heavier this exploitation becomes.

In his previous life, Xu Ping had heard the idea that the monetization of taxes was a kind of progress, showing that the commodity economy was active, but now it is a completely different idea. There is no commodity economy in the countryside, and monetization will inevitably increase the burden on the peasants, and this burden is very heavy. Xu Ping remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, in some remote villages, the tens of yuan of book fees for children's schooling could make it difficult for the adults in the family to die, let alone in this era.

The peasants' taxes should be collected in kind and given them money, and as long as this is done, the peasants' lives will improve. On the contrary, if money is collected from the peasants, agriculture will inevitably go bankrupt step by step, and the concentration of land will accelerate.

It was for this purpose that he set up trading cooperatives in the countryside and collected local products through the Sansi Shop to send copper money to the countryside, and now Li Jing is now partly using the conscription method to pay copper money to poor peasants for the same purpose.

Capitalist capital does not include land, and just as food in a commodity economy is not a commodity.

The reason why capital is called capital and not money and wealth in general is that it is part of the cycle of commodity economy, from which the purpose of expanding reproduction is finally achieved. Relatively speaking, land has no potential for expanded reproduction, and is naturally distinguished from capital. Food is a necessity for human survival, and if society wants to develop in an orderly manner, this necessity cannot become a commodity, otherwise it will have to pay a huge price.

The peasants, who mainly produce grain, are free from the commodity economy. The walls of the city seem to be fences one after another, and the largest group of people in the world are stopped from the fence, watching the singing and dancing inside, infinitely prosperous. And what they themselves pursue is nothing more than clothing to cover their bodies and food to satisfy their stomachs.

The vast countryside lacks commodities for economic exchange, and even less of the miraculous monster of money. In order to improve the rural economy, it is necessary to provide the peasants with channels for exchanging goods or labor for money, and the more channels there are, the better.

The "enclosure movement" that occurred in history only illustrates the greed of capitalists and the fact that they can trample on all morals and consciences for the sake of the multiplication of capital, but it is not an inevitable stage of social development. Xu Ping is a human being, and he can see these problems with such a vision, of course, he must do his best to avoid them, to ease them, rather than adding fuel to the fire.

If you can repair the canal and bring the water out slowly, don't let the flood rage.

Xu Ping tried his best to tell Li Jing and Yang in the simplest and clearest words he could think of, and the two listened to it for a long time, but they were still confused. These things have never happened, no one has experienced them, and no one has even talked about them. Xu Ping himself is also a two-life person, dealing with farmers for many years, combined with the knowledge and experience he has learned, summed up these.

Looking at Li Jing, Xu Ping said with a straight face: "You have read poetry and books since you were a child, and you are proficient in scriptures, if you talk about the truth of governing the world, now I am afraid that you will be more convincing than me." It's one thing to just say it, it's another thing to do it. Confucianism is full of learning, and it is necessary to use these great truths that he said to truly make the world peaceful and the people happy, so that they can be passed on to future generations. Otherwise, even if you enjoy a great name for a while, no one will care about it after a hundred years. I only look at the general situation when I read, and I don't seek to understand it, and the reason may not be so clear, but the place where the eunuchs are, no matter where they are, can make meritorious contributions to the court and make the people's lives better. I believe that with these measures, I can also make the local area prosperous and the people's lives rich. No, because whenever I make a decision, I ask myself in the middle of the night if I really think about it to the best of my ability for the people. You've been with me for years, and it's useless to say more to you, so you just have to sort out these measures and sort them out. When I left Jingxi Road, tell me what I have done, what benefits I have brought, what disadvantages I have brought, and what disadvantages I have. ”

Xu Ping did not say this to Li Jian as his boss, but as a division commander, Li Jian respectfully agreed.

Xu Ping has a feeling that he has worked hard in this world for many years, and it is time to bring it to fruition. And after so many years of exposure to Li Jing, his thinking is changing, and he slowly understands the logic of Xu Ping's work.

Xu Ping said to Yang again: "I have already told the third division that the shop on Jingxi Road will be temporarily handed over to the transfer department for management, and you will also have to do something this year." Since this year, the three shops will buy local products from various places, remember to collect them from the hands of the trading agencies as much as possible, and pay real money for each transaction, and it is strictly forbidden to change it. If the actual money is insufficient, for the time being, they will borrow from the money bank first, and then there will be a part of the iron money supervisor in Ruzhou. I have approved the establishment of a money prison on Jingxi Road, which was originally to be located in Xixia County, Dengzhou, but it is a little inappropriate to think about it, and the money is to be scattered in Luoyang City, so it is better to change it to Henan Mansion. It is tentatively set up to set up a new financial supervisor in Heqing County, the source of the water, where there is coal and charcoal, and the transportation is also convenient. Most of the copper used by the money prison was shipped from Xixia County, and the other part used the old money received. Heqing County is at the right point, and there is a lot of old money buried in the field, which can be destroyed and recast. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xue let out a sigh of relief: "It's so the best, it's a piece of heart disease in my heart." Don't hide it, since the beginning of this year, it has been a new money bank, and it is a real money household, etc., there are too many places involving cash money, and if you are not careful, you will make a big incident. With the money supervisor, you can mint money by yourself, and you will have a bottom in your heart, which can be regarded as reassuring. ”

The copper coins minted by the money supervisor theoretically belong to the inner treasury, the private property of the Son of Heaven, but the foreign money supervisor has always borrowed from the transfer envoy. Moreover, with Xu Ping's position in Zhao Zhen's heart, the money in the inner treasury is easier to use than the money of the third division. Several emperors of the Zhao family were extremely sensitive to the accounts of their own private wealth in the inner treasury, similar to the miser landlords in the countryside. Before Taizong passed away, he deliberately called the successor Zhenzong to his room alone, handed over the boxes to him one by one, and personally pointed out the accounts belonging to the various libraries inside, which was regarded as handing over the power. There are all kinds of things used to calculate the number in the box, what ivory, chopsticks, South China Sea pearls, and all kinds of unexpected things are used to count, only the emperor himself knows.

Jingxi Road opened the prison to mint money, as long as Zhao Zhen let Xu Ping use it, in fact, he was given unlimited coinage rights, depending on how much ability Xu Ping had to get the copper used for coinage. In Jingxi Road, Xu Ping also received Zhao Zhen's financial support, otherwise how could he have such confidence.

Looking at Yang Xu's appearance, Xu Ping said with a smile: "Don't slack off, it's spring, let's start with the bayberry in the fruit, and this year there will be no shortage of bayberry in the state cities of Jingxi Road." As for Xiangzhou lacquerware and the like, it goes without saying. ”
