Chapter 2084 Everyone Can Become a Saint
These homeless people have no families.
As long as they have money, they will spend it.
If you don’t spend it, you may die on the way next time you go to sea.
It became a tragedy that the person died and the money was not spent.
So most sailors will try to spend all the money they have.
Eating, drinking, having fun and women.
Then they have more incentive to make money, or rather, loot...
The more they spend, the more they earn, and the more they spend next time.
This is the formation of an economic cycle.
They were the civilian class with the most spending power in the early days of the commodity economy.
The wealthy class alone cannot maintain the great development of the commodity economy.
Because a person’s consumption is always limited.
Therefore, the largest companies are in the people's livelihood industry, with wide sales and low prices, not in the luxury goods industry.
In other words, sailors acted as one of the main consumers in the ancient commodity market. No one in the middle or lower class had more spending power than sailors.
At this time, the school was quiet.
Many students are thinking about what the master just said.
Some people nodded and some shook their heads.
Some people have pain on their faces, while others feel embarrassed.
In short, not many people think that going to sea is a good thing.
After all, this is an almost completely unfamiliar thing to them, and it is also a huge challenge.
Wen Rensheng scanned it once and said: "There is endless wealth on the sea, endless treasures on the other side of the sea, and endless land. These lands can solve the problem of refugees that are flooding everywhere in the Han Dynasty."
"Let me ask you a simple question, why do refugees appear?"
All the students' faces became relaxed.
Compared with navigation, this seemingly huge question actually has a very simple answer.
Xun Yu stood up and said: "Master, it is naturally due to land annexation. Eunuchs and dignitaries, noble families, local powerful people, state and county officials... relied on their own advantages and took advantage of the years of famine to occupy the land of the common people."
“Even without these annexations, if a family grows to five people, as long as a few generations pass, the head of the family will have no land to divide, unless he goes outside to cultivate wasteland, so some people go into the mountains and some people go to the islands.”
“But The latter two are like small pipes for releasing water, and the front is covered by floods. In this case, the dam will still collapse."
Everyone said: "Wen Ruo is right."
"If a writer has great talent, no one can match him."
"In Wen Ruo's opinion, how should this matter be resolved?" Wen Rensheng said with a smile.
"It is natural to redistribute the land. Before Wang Mang restructured the system, each family was given an average of 100 acres, but he did not have the ability to divide it equally. If it could be divided equally, Wang Mang might really succeed." Xun Yu said firmly.
"Divide the land equally?" Everyone was in an uproar.
Wen Rensheng smiled and did not deny the other party's answer.
After the founding of each dynasty, wasteland could be allocated to the landless refugees. The more allocated, the longer the life of the dynasty.
This is why there is the so-called "great chaos follows great chaos", which seems to be a philosophical statement, but behind it is the bloody killing of cultivators, and the cycle repeats.
So much so that after Wen Rensheng entered the modern era from his previous life, many people who hated history said harshly that there was no history, only repetition.
They have forgotten that after cultivating Gu, the large plates and Gu pots left over are the best wealth that history has left to today's people.
What others want and cannot have, they abandon it like worn shoes.
How many ancient civilizations have left such large pots to our descendants?
Next door, next door next door, are essentially envious.
You can do a lot of things with a big pot.
In a closed terrain, there are huge losses and huge gains.
Nature is fair.
At this moment, Xun You shook his head and said: "Redistribution is not the fundamental solution. Why?"
He looked at everyone and said quietly: "This time it is evenly distributed. What about the next time? It will take a few hundred years, no, just a hundred years, because the level of effort and wisdom between people are different. People have different origins, and people have different opportunities... Even if we establish a very fair system,
“There will still be superior people and superior families, and then occupy more land. "
"How to solve it at that time? "
Everyone was silent.
Then Xun Chen stood up and said: "This method, the teacher has said a long time ago, is to use businessmen as the leader, so that the poor and those with insufficient intelligence can sell their physical strength to make a living. . ”
"Then exchange food from the rich."
"How to make more products, how to get food and other wealth from the rich to circulate into society, this is what we want "
"We must solve this problem to truly solve the chaos cycle."
Everyone nodded.
"You Ruo said yes."
"That's right, that's what Master said."
"But this process takes a long time."
"It does take a long time. Among the powerful landlords, the diligent and thrifty ones The majority are those who are unwilling to spend money, and the majority are those who want to annex land. From this point of view, those extravagant people who buy all kinds of novelties from the market and engage in large-scale construction and consumption are actually benefiting the poor, while those who want to annex land are also the majority. Those who are thrifty and thrifty, those who store grain, cloth, and copper coins to buy land to propagate their family business, are harming the poor..."
"This sounds very contrary to our common sense, but it is a waste of money. , It is beneficial to the court, and the powerful people who guard the family are the silverfish of the court." Someone said.
Wen Rensheng smiled and looked at everyone.
They're right. This method was used by the famous minister Fan Zhongyan in later generations.
Fan Zhongyan went to the local state capital to provide disaster relief. He organized local wealthy people to spend a lot of money, build garden houses, and recruit a large number of migrant workers. He was impeached at first. However, after doing so, the victims had work to do, and the powerful people also Enjoyed it and built many beautiful gardens.
The local powerful people did not oppose Fan Zhongyan because of the disaster relief, but instead praised him greatly.
How else could he have the title of famous minister Fan Wenzheng?
Although he was criticized by some people for changing his surname back to his original surname because of his stepson's birth, his wisdom was indeed ahead of his time.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty gave away the big coward, which is hateful and regrettable.
It is a pity that here, many ministers have learned to use modern business methods to solve some ancient classic disaster victims' problems.
However, the external environment did not allow enough development time, and the barbarians were pushed away in a wave.
And this method cannot last long. After all, the entire court is still a feudal court.
It is impossible to maintain a fair business environment. This kind of business behavior can only occur under the governance of famous ministers.
If he were replaced by a foolish king and a foolish minister, he would be finished. "I understand," Guo Jia suddenly said, "Master said that acquiring land overseas is a way to buy time."
"Yes, there is land overseas. , can continuously relocate landless refugees, and can buy us time to establish a market environment that allows powerful people to consume vigorously." Xun Chen nodded heavily.
"Great, if we can solve the eternal problem of controlling the cycle of chaos, then we want everyone to become a saint!" Xun You said suddenly.
"Everyone becomes a saint?" Everyone suddenly took a deep breath.
Saint Confucius, Saint Meng, and they are Saint Xun, Saint Guo, Saint Shu, Saint Ji...
Everyone has a chance.
Xun You is definitely not joking, nor is he talking big words.
If they can really solve this problem in this era, they will be more than just saints. Their status will definitely surpass Confucius, Laozi, and Mencius.
Wen Rensheng Xiaoxiao, these extraordinary resourceful people have the ambition to change the current situation.
Just like Zhuge Liang, he knew that the time was gone, but he still wanted to forcefully create a Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms.
Unfortunately, my background is still poor.
Can't afford too many mistakes.
"Yes, we want everyone to be a saint!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let us think about how to make the powerful consume?"
"We must first break their Wubao economy and allow their products to enter our big market."
"But how can we do this? They are self-sufficient and do not need to purchase from outside at all. Is it forceful? That is not the law of nature, and it will be resisted sooner or later."
"I understand, we can build factories, why does the master want to make sure that the factories can accommodate a large number of landless people? Ordinary people, and the items and cloth they produce are much cheaper than Haoqiang’s own production.”
“Yes, in this way, Haoqiang can give up his own production of cloth, wine, and delicious food. Delicacies, silk and satin production, beef and mutton production... In short, the powerful people discovered that their land can only be used to produce food and raw materials."
"And other things take food and raw materials and go to factories. Exchange is the most cost-effective, and in this way, the people will get food.”
"But there is a problem. There are only hundreds of thousands of powerful people. There are too many cloths and fine wines produced in the factories. How can a few powerful people consume them all? So these things cannot be exchanged for food, and the workers still starve to death."< br>
Everyone was talking, one problem after another appeared in their minds, and one problem after another found a solution in the collision.
Wen Rensheng was very happy that the problems raised by these people actually exist in modern times.
Insufficient consumption and insufficient exchange are the biggest headaches for any modern organization.
"Yes, yes!" Xun You said suddenly, "I have it, I have it!"
"How many months has it been?" Guo Jia said suddenly.
“Just now.” Before Xun You understood, Wen Rensheng laughed.
This Guo Jia is indeed informal and bohemian.
But in front of Cao Cao, he was still solemn. After all, Cao Cao was a feudal monarch, but he was an equal teacher.
"Thank you for your filial piety. I won't argue with you. My method is to use our newly built National Dynasty to impose a certain tax on food, buy the food from the rich, and then put it into The market, in other words, uses the imperial court to force consumption!" Xun You said calmly.
"Papa!" Wen Rensheng clapped and laughed, "Okay, what Gongda said is exactly what I want to teach you. It seems that you have obtained one ten thousandth of my true inheritance."
No one was surprised, and no one thought that Master was bragging.
“Congratulations to Gongda, congratulations to Gongda.”
“That’s right, why have we forgotten the imperial court? The imperial court is a king elected by the whole people, and of course it must serve the people of the whole people. Heroic and powerful If we have grain, we will collect it. Of course, we will not collect it in vain. We will just give it to him in exchange for other things."
"But what if the powerful people don't sell grain?" someone sighed.
"So there must be official land. If the official land produces and puts it on the market, if the powerful do not sell it, they will lose money, it will rot, and the food cannot be stored for a long time. As long as the official land is managed properly, it will not lose money, unlike the common people. It will be possessed by powerful people..." said a wise man.
At this point, the wise man also stopped and said, "No, even the official fields will be invaded in the end."
"Then what should we do?" everyone asked in distress. .
Wen Rensheng smiled, these people still have typical agricultural thinking.
I always feel that food is the most important thing.
That's right, without food, the court will be doomed.
Isn’t this too big a deal?
That’s because they didn’t occupy enough rich land, and the land’s output wasn’t rich enough.
If there is enough land and the yield per unit area is large enough, the powerful will be worried about selling food because there is not enough food to eat.
If we can’t run out of food, there will be a series of industrial revolutions.
The Industrial Revolution could never be built on famine.
Agriculture in later generations requires massive subsidies to survive, which shows its inherent weakness.
It is because the production is far more than what people can eat.
People at this time thought that the population would multiply indefinitely, but food could not increase infinitely.
But they don’t know that with the development of various technologies and the realization of industrialization, the population will balance out and become smaller and smaller.
In this case, how could powerful people hoard food?
This thing is no longer scarce. How can I sell it at a high price if I hoard it?
Seeing Wen Rensheng smiling, everyone asked: "Master, what should we do?"
"Gongda, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Xun You thought for a long time and said: "It still has to be solved with land overseas. The powerful people hoard food because it is profitable and food is scarce. If there is a lot of food and there is a large amount of land overseas to produce food, they will only think about what to do. They worry about selling, but they will never hoard food, or even hoard land, because they will find that factories are much easier to make money than land.”
Wen Rensheng smiled.
"Yes, Gongda, you have completely understood it. This is why I said that we should open up overseas lands and find more land. The fundamental reason is to create a great abundance of food. Only food can be greatly enriched." Only when it is rich can all changes take place, otherwise it will be a rootless tree."
"Master, sage," everyone said in unison.
Wen Rensheng nodded. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang is only 3 years old these days. Otherwise, he could understand better.
But where is Sima Yi?
He was born in 179, so he should be five or six years old this year.
This guy is two years older than Zhuge Liang, and he still outlasted him, which shows that the longevity gene is powerful.
"Okay, you will go down and write it down carefully. I will summarize what I said today and let everyone in the world know about it."
"Yes, Master."
Everyone sincerely admires him.
Master never keeps things secret, he always makes things public. This is the heart of a saint.
I never worry about others learning to defeat him.
