This is a subversive point of view, the traditional sergeant of the Great Jin Dynasty is the farmer and the merchant, the scholar is the first, the farmer is the second, the merchant is the last, and there is a king and a scholar in the Shilin, and Lao Huang's words, or Liu Han's theory, are very simple at first hearing, but after thinking about it, it has subverted the sacred and inviolable words of the Great Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.

"Don't look at me with such a gaze," Lao Huang grimaced 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, well, we bought a lot of land to grow cotton in the Western Regions, Kangguo, and then set up a workshop, at most, our workshop had 20,000 people, and the woven cloth 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. ”

"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: " He announced his withdrawal from 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 the Hanhai Trading Company to buy, in addition, he quietly bought a large amount of land, thirty percent of it was used to grow cotton, four percent of sheep, three percent of grain, and then made a wool weaving machine, and made a dyeing workshop, as a result, he made a lot of money, but this time, he did not only in Kangguo, but in the Western Regions countries scattered and established, simply put, he made these things in the Western Regions, a total of more than 200,000 people, forming a huge industry。 Alas, if he doesn't return to the Great Jin, he will be the king of the Western Regions. ”

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 carry out foreign trade in an all-round way, so that the displaced people can be resettled, and there will be no contradiction between the gate valve family." ”

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." ”

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." ”

"Why?!" 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. ”

Reina's expression was still a little confused, Lao Huang shook his head: "To put it simply, you may not understand, I actually didn't understand it 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, and part of it raises sheep, and all countries get land to grow cotton, and as a result, the price of cotton plummets, and the price of grain skyrockets.

In the second year, the countries still had to plant cotton, because although the price of cotton had dropped sharply, it was still more profitable than growing grain, but some people felt that it was still cost-effective to grow grain, so they did not plant cotton and planted grain instead, and the next year, the price of cotton continued to fall.

In the third year, more people went to grow grain, and the planting area of cotton was greatly reduced, and as a result, the price of cotton in the third year resumed to rise, while the price of grain began to fall, and so on, after five years, the price of grain and cotton became stable, because the income from growing grain was almost the same as the income from growing cotton, and the only difference was the difference in the size of the planting area. ”

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." ”

"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 darker and thicker, the tea was already very light, the starlight was getting brighter, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and there was a woman's cheerful laughter in 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. 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." ”

"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." ”

Reina couldn't help but be happy, he understood what it meant, Liu Han only spent a small amount of money, but these homeless people would be grateful to him, this is not just a bowl of rice, but to make them dignified.

"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. ”

"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. ”

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 disapprove 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. ”

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, all the kings knew the danger, but to settle the homeless people, they needed land, where is the land? In the hands of the gate lord clan, the imperial court could only take the land from them to settle the homeless, but this was bound to cause a backlash from the gate lord family, and it would also bring turmoil.

It's a dilemma.

"I have three treasures: one is compassion, the second is thrifty, 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 classics also say that governing a large country is like cooking a small fresh, the family of the gate valves, the roots are intricate, from the court to the people, the upper and lower entanglements, it has long become a cancer of our Great Jin, but if we want to pull out this tumor, if we do not pay attention to it, the toxicity of the tumor will spread to the whole body. ”

Lao Huang looked indifferent and calm: "Taiding Zhongxing, the four realms surrender, the sea Yanru, 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 gate valve family, he is timid, we all thought he was tired of government, but in fact it is not, he is timid, he dare not touch this tumor." ”

Reina was silent when he heard this, and Lao Huang revealed the truth about their failure back then, 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." ”

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? ”

"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. ”

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.

"You have to clear your own door," 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." ”

"Okay, no problem. Reina agreed, and then looked Liu Han up and down, Liu Han was wearing a black power suit today, with a black headkerchief wrapped around his head: "Who 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." ”

Lao Huang frowned slightly, and stopped talking, but Reina smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, our people are adjusted by you." ”

"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, however, people also have the capital of self-confidence, Liu Tie is the peak of martial arts, and a masked man has come out, and his cultivation is still above Liu Tie, and he has obviously entered the realm of a grandmaster.

Liu Han nodded and said to Lao Huang: "The affairs of the family should be arranged in advance, and you plan and plan." ”

Lao Huang sighed softly before nodding.

Liu Han said to Reina again: "You shouldn't need to clean up the portal yourself, you and Lao Huang have a good discussion, after dawn, what should we do." ”

"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. ”

Reina looked calm: "I know, otherwise, you wouldn't have changed this body." ”

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." ”

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." ”

"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 dark night again, and Liu Han disappeared into the night.

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 leaked the secret.

But there is one thing, he definitely didn't come to the storm!
