Chapter 236 Market Economy
c_t; This is a subversive 'sex' point of view, the traditional sergeant of the Great Jin Dynasty, the scholar is the first, the farmer is the second, the merchant is the last, there is a king and the scholar in the Shilin to share the world, and Lao Huang's words, or Liu Han's theory, is very simple at first hearing, but after thinking about it, it has subverted the sacred and inviolable words of the Taoist canon for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. γFengyun Reading Network.γ, the latest chapter access:. γ
"Don't look at me with this kind of gaze," Lao Huang made a grimace at Reina, which seemed a little funny compared to his age: "When I first heard this, I didn't believe it, but slowly, I believed it, well, we bought a large amount of land in the Western Regions, Kangguo, to grow cotton 'flowers', and then set up a workshop, at most, our workshop had 20,000 people, and the cloth woven was sold to the countries of the Western Regions, and then sold to the west, what Yuezhi, Heishi, sold to Tubo in the south, and sold into the desert in the north.
At that time, the wealth of Kang Guo made the countries of the Western Regions red, so it caused a lot of disputes, and the shopkeeper asked the king of Kang to convene a meeting of the countries of the Western Regions, formulated trade development regulations, and disclosed the secrets of the loom, so weaving in the Western Regions has been greatly developed. β
"Then isn't he at a loss?" Reina was very curious, such a loom, whoever masters it is equivalent to mastering a huge fortune, and Liu Han disclosing the secret of the loom is not equivalent to giving away the wealth to others.
"He won't lose," Lao Huang smiled: "The loom was made public, but no one was allowed to imitate the loom, he announced that he would quit the textile workshop, and all the textile workshops under his name were sold, but from now on, if countries want to buy looms, they must go to Hanhai Trading Company to buy, in addition, he quietly bought a large amount of land, thirty percent to grow cotton 'flowers', four percent to raise sheep, three percent to grow grain, and then 'made' a machine for weaving sheep 'wool', and' As a result, he made a lot of money again, but this time, he did not only establish it in Kangguo, but scattered in the countries of the Western Regions, to put it simply, these things he 'made' in the Western Regions accommodated more than 200,000 people in total, forming a huge industry. Alas, if he doesn't return to the Great Jin, he will be the king of the Western Regions. β
Reina was silent, more than 200,000 people, with the vast and sparsely populated area of the Western Regions, 200,000 people are probably already 20% or even 30% of the total population of the Western Regions, which is an incredible number, and it can almost be said that it has changed the social structure of the Western Regions.
"In my opinion, the problem of displaced people in the Great Jin Dynasty is not a land problem," Lao Huang continued: "There is so much land in the Great Jin Dynasty, instead of hoping that the 'Gate' valve family will spit out the land, it is better to let go of the development of industry and comprehensively carry out foreign trade, so that the displaced people can be resettled, and there will be no contradiction in the 'Gate' valve family." β
Reina shook his head: "If according to this practice, it is obvious that the income from working is much higher than that of farming, and the income of two or three taels of silver a month is far more than that of ordinary farmers, then all farmers may give up farming and work in the workshop, and in this way, the world will not fall into famine." β
Lao Huang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, laughing very happily, Reina was a little puzzled, I didn't know what he was laughing at, Lao Huang smiled and shook his head: "You are exactly the same question as I did at the beginning, I asked the shopkeeper like this back then, but do you know? How did the shopkeeper answer? His answer was that there was no such thing at all." β
"Why?reads;!" Reina asked with a frown.
"It's simple, balanced. ( Lao Huang replied: " The shopkeeper's explanation is this, the whole social production is in a dynamic equilibrium, cloth production, grain production, salt production, iron production, and other kinds, together constitute social production, price is an important tool to adjust social production, for example, cloth production is less, the price of cloth will rise, so there will be people to weave, so the number of people engaged in weaving will increase, the price of cloth will slowly fall, the same reason, if there is less grain, the price of grain will rise, and when it rises to the income of growing grain exceeds the income of labor, there will be people who do not work, but to grow grain, the number of people who grow grain increases, the price of grain will fall, slowlyThis will reach a balance, which my shopkeeper calls the balance of social production. β
Reina's expression was still a little sleepy 'confused', Lao Huang shook his head: "To put it simply, you may not understand, I actually didn't understand at first, or that thing, we are engaged in weaving workshops in Kangguo, and all countries are red-eyed, so all countries are engaged in weaving workshops, and the shopkeeper quietly bought a lot of land, part of it grows grain, part of it grows cotton 'flowers', and part of it raises sheep, and all countries 'get' land to grow cotton 'flowers', as a result, the price of cotton 'flowers' has plummeted, and the price of grain has skyrocketed.
In the second year, all countries still have to plant cotton 'flowers', because although the price of cotton 'flowers' has dropped sharply, they still earn more than growing grain, but some people, feeling that growing grain is still cost-effective, do not plant cotton 'flowers' and plant grain instead; the next year, the price of cotton 'flowers' continues to fall, why? Because last year's cotton 'flowers' have not been used up, grain prices continue to rise;
In the third year, more people went to grow grain, and the planting area of cotton 'flowers' was greatly reduced, and as a result, the price of cotton 'flowers' in the third year resumed to rise, while the price of grain began to fall, so that after five years, the price of grain and the price of cotton 'flowers' became stable, because the income from growing grain and the income from planting cotton 'flowers' were almost the same, and the only difference was the difference in the size of the planting area. β
Reina understood a little now, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed: "If this truth can be established, the words of the saints recorded in the Taoist scriptures for thousands of years can be put to rest." "If you don't break it, you can't stand it, and if you break it, you will stand it; this is also what the Taoist canon says." Lao Huang said slowly: "The shopkeeper calls this a market economy." β
"Where did he learn it?" asked Reina in confusion, there must not be in the Taoist classics, and there were none in that classic.
Reina smiled bitterly, the two of them looked at the night 'color' that was getting thicker and thicker, the tea was already very light, the starlight was getting brighter, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the cheerful laughter of the 'women' came from the front, and they had already called it a day.
"Did they hire it, or did they buy it?" asked Reina suddenly.
"What do you say?" Lao Huang asked rhetorically, Reina sighed slightly, Liu Han is not a good person, now the Great Jin Dynasty is full of refugees, these refugees only need to give food to eat, do they still need to 'spend' money to buy?
"Although it is said that it is not hired, it is a slave of Hanhai Trading Company, but the shopkeeper of my family still pays the salary. Lao Huang said slowly.
Reyna was a little surprised: "Why?"
"Again, balance reads;. Lao Huang said slowly: "Although these homeless people only give food, this is no problem in the short term, but it is not good in the long run, when they can eat, they will have more needs, so it is better to give some wages, anyway, there is not much wages." β
"It's not much, two or three taels of silver a month!" Reina was surprised again, and Lao Huang smiled faintly: "Is two or three taels of silver a lot? How much is a piece of cloth now? Seven taels of silver, excluding the cost, we can earn five taels, you say, how much silver can they earn for me Hanhai Trading Company a month? In the words of the shopkeeper, this is called resolving conflicts." β
Reina couldn't help but be happy, he understood the meaning, Liu Han only 'spent' a little money, but these homeless people would be grateful to him, this is not just a bowl of rice, but to give them dignity.
"Although the shopkeeper bought a lot of people, including me, who were all his slaves, he had a strange rule, that is, after ten years of service for Hanhai Trading Company, he could leave Hanhai Trading Company, not a penny to redeem himself, and he would also give a settlement fund according to the size of his contribution, and everyone in Hanhai Trading Company would be paid. β
"And what is your salary?" said Reina.
"I'm the exception, no. Lao Huang replied, holding up the teacup: "In the entire Hanhai Trading Company, only Liu Tie and their thirty-six iron guards have no salary. β
Reina was stunned and nodded slowly: "Mr. Liu is 'shrewd'!"
If there is no salary, it is bound to give more, no wonder Lao Huang Liutie is desperate for Liu Han.
Lao Huang drank a sip of water, felt as light as white water, and called someone to change it.
The new tea exudes a strong fragrance, and the small flames on the oil lamp dance happily.
"According to what you say, do you approve of Chen Guo's land inventory?" Reina suddenly remembered and looked at him suspiciously.
Lao Huang was silent for a while, nodded, and Reina was silent for a while: "The prince used to think the same way. β
The land annexation was concentrated in the hands of the 'Gate' lords, and the people had to become homeless, and then became a huge social problem in the Great Jin Dynasty, and all the kings knew the dangers, but if they wanted to settle the homeless, they needed land, and where was the land? In the hands of the 'Gate' lords, the imperial court could only seize the land from them to settle the homeless, but this was bound to cause a backlash from the 'Gate' valve family, and it would also bring turmoil and 'chaos'.
It's a dilemma.
"I have three treasures: one is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world; what is the dare not to be the first in the world? The common people say that the gun shoots the first bird, and the rafters that come out rot first; the Taoist canon also says that governing a large country is like cooking a small fresh, and the 'door' valve family is intertwined, from the court to the people, entangled up and down, and it has long become a cancer of our Great Jin Dynasty, but if we want to pull out this tumor, if we do not pay attention to it, the poisonous 'nature' of the tumor will spread to the whole body. β
Lao Huang looked indifferent and calm: "Taiding Zhongxing, the four realms surrender, the sea Yan Ru, can fight with Xianbei, my Dajin is not consumed cleanly, Emperor Taiding in the face of Xianbei, can be proud, but in the face of the 'door' valve family, he is timid, we all thought he was tired of government, but in fact he was not, he was timid, he did not dare to touch this tumor." β
Reina was silent when he heard this, and Lao Huang revealed the truth about their failure back then*'naked', which made him a little unbearable for a while.
"Chen Guo's matter is not so easy to solve," Lao Huang said: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if they succeed, they will fight back, and the situation is only now begin." β
Reina looked at Lao Huang, half a sound, suddenly smiled, took a sip of the teacup, and then asked slowly: "Mr. Huang, what are you telling me about this? β
"Really?" asked with a smile on his face, and Reina smiled in return, "Isn't it?!"
"Then I'll say it in vain. Lao Huang leaned back in his chair.
Reina also leaned back in his chair: "I'm curious, why do you care so much about the court situation?"
"There are two kinds of businessmen, one is a small businessman, who carries a burden and opens a grocery store, and the other is a big businessman, who is closely related to the court situation. β
Reina laughed, the two of them didn't say anything about the court situation anymore, Lao Huang sighed in his heart, Reina's purpose he guessed seven or eight points, and he said so much today to remind him that his plan might not work.
But Reina refused, he didn't think he was wrong, and today he was determined to check the land and cut off this tumor, which was exactly what the king of Shaoyang wanted to do but didn't do.
But there is one thing, Lao Huang didn't understand, how can Reina achieve his goal?
Liu Han arrived earlier than expected, and he arrived before the moon was in the middle of the sky.
"Your 'door' must be cleared by yourself," Liu Han didn't talk nonsense with Reina, and said to him directly when he entered the house: "Liu Tie will continue to follow you, and those captives will be 'handed over' to me." β
"Okay, no problem. Reina agreed, and then looked Liu Han up and down, Liu Han was wearing a black 'color' suit today, with a black 'color' headkerchief wrapped around his head: "What are you?"
"It's not rude to come and go, I don't like to be led away. Liu said coldly: "I like to take the initiative, and tonight is the best time to attack." β
Lao Huang's brows furrowed slightly, and the words of 'desire' stopped, but Reina smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, our people are adjusted by you." β
"No, Liu Tie and I are enough. Liu Han shook his head and said.
Reina smiled bitterly in his heart, this Liu Han is really confident enough, but people also have the capital of self-confidence, Liu Tie is the pinnacle of martial arts, and he has come out with a 'masked' man, and his cultivation is still above Liu Tie, and he has obviously entered the realm of grandmasters.
Liu Han nodded and said to Lao Huang: "The affairs of the family should be arranged in advance, and you plan and plan." β
Lao Huang sighed softly before nodding.
Liu Han said to Reina again: "You shouldn't need to do it yourself to clean up the 'door' household, you and Lao Huang have a good discussion, after dawn, what should we do." β
"It's up to you to get tonight. Reina said, and Liu Han replied casually: "Your people's abilities are not bad, and they have already knocked their mouths open." The location of their nest has been found out. β
Reina looked calm: "I know, otherwise, you wouldn't have changed this reads;." β
Liu Han nodded and was silent: "The reason why I came over to say hello first, if, tomorrow dawn I haven't come back, you will go your separate ways, Lao Huang, the money of the trading company, you give everyone a share." β
After finishing speaking, Liu Han turned around and left, and disappeared into the darkness without waiting for Lao Huang to greet him.
Reina was very surprised, he looked at the dark night in surprise, turned his head to look at Lao Huang, Lao Huang smiled bitterly: "This is what he has always done, the trading company has always had a plan for his sudden death, alas, he shouldn't have come back." β
"What did you say?!" Reina turned his head to look at him in surprise, Lao Huang sighed heavily, turned around and entered the house, Reina looked back at the heavy night 'color' again, and Liu Han disappeared into the night 'color'.
At that moment, Reina suddenly understood that Liu Han's purpose of going to the imperial capital was not so simple, and Lao Huang accidentally revealed the secret.
But there is one thing, he definitely didn't come to the storm!
