Chapter 272: Linkage (2)
A few simple coordinate systems, a few simple lines, a few parameters on the blackboard. Zhao Jiaren explained Zhao Qian's problem based on these.
The first is the gap between the money supply of the Eastern Roman Empire and the potential volume of market transactions, which is much higher than the amount of money issued. Money is a general equivalent, and although transactions do not generate value, the money put into the market adds a lot of productive activities that would otherwise be impossible. Before these two lines crossed, the Eastern Roman court sent money to itself out of selfishness, which was harmful to the economy, and the additional issuance of currency was a means to realize this selfishness, and it would have a more positive effect from the results.
The other coordinate system is capital accumulation. Capital must be a social production, and in an agrarian society the land is most valuable, not because of what is great about that land, but because of the fact that the land can produce products that are of use value to all. 'There is land and wealth' is to tell the capital attribute of land on the surface. These additional currencies will also increase the capital concentration of Eastern Rome to a certain extent, and also have a certain role in promoting the economy.
Zhao Qian had already consulted with the Ministry of Finance, Qian Zhuang, and the Ministry of Finance about the affairs of the Eastern Roman Republic before, and the statements he got also contained some content. After that, he couldn't help but ask his father for advice, and the accounts of those people sounded mixed with jade and jade to Zhao Qian, as if they wanted to explain all the issues clearly, but they were mixed with facts, speculation, sentiment analysis and even moral evaluation. Dad's ruthless analysis is the outline, which makes Zhao Qian clear at a glance.
glanced at the ministers who were listening to the lecture next to him, and many of them were new faces. Sixty percent of the ministerial-level officials in the last wave went to the county to complete their last term, and the overall appearance of the conference room was much younger. Everyone listened attentively, and some of them were still taking notes.
Zhao Jiaren spoke quickly, and at this time it has reached the final part, "Everything has a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, and once the currency issuance exceeds the currency required for actual transactions, there will be problems immediately." The actual amount of money required varies from one economic model to another, and the results of looking at the exact same production activity can be very different. This involves the question of class attributes, which is beyond the scope of our discussion at this time. Do you have any questions? ”
"Didn't the Eastern Roman Emperor have a moral problem?" Minister of Agriculture Zhao Sanfeng raised the question.
Quite a few people looked at the 'elderly' minister. Forty-year-old Zhao Sanfeng seems to be a clan relative, but Zhao Sanfeng himself never talks about it, and everyone doesn't want to talk nonsense. But this thought will often be remembered, especially when this science and engineering man is stupid.
"How do you define this morality?" Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but smile when he asked questions, which made the senior officials even more slanderous about Zhao Sanfeng's stupidity.
"As the emperor of the Eastern Romans, shouldn't he serve the country and the people?" Zhao Sanfeng asked.
"It is the view of China that the emperor should serve the country and the people, and the people of the Eastern Roman Empire are not the same thing as what we say in Huaxia. All true history is contemporary history, and I think that what you are talking about for the country and the people is not even the history of China in the past, but the service for the country and the people that I have put forward in recent years. That would be even more different from the morality of the Eastern Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire was a divine monarch and sovereignty rested with the monarch. Our concept of the Great Song Dynasty is now developing into the sovereignty of the working people, and the emperor and the academic societies and imperial courts led by the emperor are the vanguard of the working people. From this point of view, it is just that the two basic definitions in the argument you put forward, the words emperor and for the country and the people, are the same, and their essence is that they are not related. ”
Listening to his father's clear logic, Zhao Qian felt that his heart was beating faster. Daddy is already the most honorable emperor on this earth, but at this time, Daddy is condescending like a god and tells what the imperial power is all about. couldn't help but look around, and saw that many important ministers were frightened with solemn faces, and of course, there were also science and engineering men with surprised faces among the heavy ministers.
As a science and engineering man, Zhao Qian understands the mentality of these guys, and the science and engineering men believe that the world is composed of various basic principles, and there are no theories that belong only to Zhao Guan's family and not to others. Therefore, the men of science and technology have infinite loyalty to the Zhao official family himself. They seem silly a lot of the time because they were just chasing the truth at the time, completely unaware that a large part of power and profit is based on human emotions and not on principles. The fundamental purpose of the emperors of the past dynasties was to hold power and maintain power, and these guys were only afraid that they would have been dragged out and cut down by the emperors outside the Zhao official family.
There were also several eyes looking at Zhao Qian, and when they met Zhao Qian's gaze, they quickly flashed away. Zhao Qian's heart was a little confused, so he lowered his eyes and thought about his thoughts. I'm already strong, strong enough to understand what my dad is saying. The stronger you are, the more you understand how strong Daddy is, there are very good people in the Great Song Dynasty in the Imperial Court, and such a group of people can't fool Daddy when they are tied together. It's not that these people don't want to, their cognitive level is about the same as Zhao Qian's, showing the essential defect of knowledge fragmentation. As soon as Daddy said it, these people suddenly became enlightened. If there is no father to lead, they will fill in their own deficiencies with idealistic things such as "right and wrong" and "good and evil", and try to seem to have their own cognitive system.
If you have the ability to take another step forward and reach the point where you have your own concept system, you should be able to compete with your father. No, it's standing on the shoulders of the giant Daddy. It's just that this step is too detailed and too detailed, and Zhao Qian needs to learn too much to make up for it. It's a hard future.
I was thinking about it, so I heard my father end his speech and announce the adjournment of the meeting. Zhao Qian looked at his watch and went to meet Senior Liu of the Henan Road Society as planned. As soon as they met, Senior Liu's face was not good-looking, and Zhao Qian felt that today's discussion would probably be very difficult.
"Senior Liu, I still have the same attitude as before. The farm system is very good, and the advantage of this system is that the concept is advanced. The foundation of the advanced nature is that everyone should cooperate. Nowadays, many people on the farm are placed in the farm, rather than choosing to join the farm after realizing the advantages of the farm. Now everyone knows that land is state-owned, and there is no such thing as private land. As long as the imperial court system remains unchanged, this fundamental system will not change. At this time, you might as well let everyone choose again......"
"I agree." Senior Liu said with an ugly expression.
Listening to Senior Liu's deep voice, Zhao Qian was stunned. He asked tentatively, "Agree with what?" ”
"I agree to let everyone choose again, even if they want to stay on the farm." There was a kind of tiredness in Senior Liu's deep voice, "But this can't be a complete isolation between the countryside and the farm. The farm still has to be assessed every year, and farmers who are willing to join the farm have to let them join the farm after passing the assessment. ”
This was completely the plan proposed by Zhao Qian before, and Zhao Qian was also a little shocked when he heard that Senior Liu completely agreed with his opinion. Who is behind this? He asked tentatively, "Senior Liu, isn't this someone forcing you to do this?" ”
Senior Liu didn't answer, he asked, "Prince, do you have anything else?" ”
Encountering such an eviction order, Zhao Qian could only choose to leave with questions. The carriage was only halfway to the return journey, and Zhao Qian's mood improved. It is a good thing that Senior Liu is willing to change his attitude, and Zhao Qian's promotion of the agricultural plan is one less big obstacle. In the last two years, the growth of agricultural products has come to a halt, which is partly related to the dry climate, but the deterioration of some farms is another important reason. Zhao Qian believes that the problem can be solved to a certain extent through the method of advantageous allocation of resources, and the working masses are indeed very hard, but the problem is that there is a big gap between the degree of hardship. At this time, it is often not the advanced that drives the backward, but the backward affects the advanced. It's not a bad thing to give the juniors some opportunities to appreciate the disparity.
Thinking about it, I went home. Since the eldest went to school, he has grown up more and more, and now it is his turn for his two younger siblings to pounce on him and say hello to Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian picked up the baby one by one, and listened to his daughter ask, "Daddy, don't you go out tonight." ”
"Okay. If Daddy doesn't go out, what are you going to do? ”
Seeing that her father was not ready to go out, the little girl said happily, "Let's play a game." ”
"Okay." Zhao Qian said with a smile.
When the second son heard this, he immediately shouted: "Let's play, let's play." ”
"Okay." Zhao Qian readily agreed.
The babies were tired of playing, Zhao Qian and his wife arranged for them to sleep, and the husband and wife went to bed tired after washing. Zhao Qian suddenly said: "Let's buy a big house with a yard." I still remember playing in the yard with my younger siblings when I was a kid. If my eldest uncle, second uncle, and the children of my two aunts come, everyone will be so lively together. ”
"Hmm. When I was a kid, I was able to play together. Xiao Meimei also recalled her childhood, and then she suddenly smiled, "I remember the first time I saw the field when I was a child, it was when I fled with my family. At that time, I wondered whose garden this was, and it was so big. ”
"Haha." Zhao Qian couldn't help but laugh. Immediately felt that his wife still had such a cute side.
"You haven't escaped, what's so funny about that."
"It's not funny, it's nothing funny. I have been to several places with my parents since I was a child, and everyone was very scared when the small court of Fuzhou was established. I can't make sense, but I know that everyone is scared. Probably the only one who is not afraid is my father. Now that I think about it, my dad was really in high spirits at that time. ”
"How old was the official family then?"
"Thirty ...... Thirty-one. After Zhao Qian finished speaking, he suddenly felt some emotion in his heart, his father was really young and had already dominated the world. It's admirable.
"So young." Xiao Meimei couldn't help but sigh. The two talked for a while, and Xiao Meimei said casually when she was about to fall asleep, "It's a mess now, I heard that Senior Liu has a relative who committed suicide...... Hmmm......"
Hearing the news, Zhao Qian was shocked. Is Senior Liu from Henan Road? But his wife was already asleep, and Zhao Qian didn't want to wake him up. Thinking about it, Zhao Qian also fell asleep.
