Volume 5 Chapter 453: Bingzhou asks the government

Please vote for recommendation!

———

Everyone was silent.

Liu Xiu then explained the set of theories he had told Xun Yu. After many discussions with Xun Yu, his set of theories are now more abundant and more in line with the current facts.

The basis of this concept is very simple: the person who creates wealth is not an official or a businessman, but a farmer and a craftsman. The farmer farms, sows a seed in spring, and harvests 10,000 grains in autumn. The extra ones are his profits. The craftsmen turn trees into various furniture and supplies, turn rice and wheat into pure wine, and turn smelly sheepskin into exquisite leather shoes. These are all creations. They create wealth with their intelligence and talents.

What is a merchant? Merchants are circulating and fully utilize the value of various commodities. A commodity can be sold for so much money. It is not because of the creation of merchants in Volume 5, Tianxia Crash Chapter 453, Bingzhou Questioning (Part 2) The merchants only transfer the commodity from a place where it cannot fully reflect its value to a place where it can be sold at a high price, and fully utilize the value of the commodity.

So what is the role of an official? The role of an official is to use everyone's intelligence and talents to reduce the consumption in the middle. He himself does not create wealth, but he can allow everyone to maximize his ability to create wealth.

How can a merchant get rich? That is to make a profit by buying low and selling high and earning the difference. How can an official get rich? Of course, he also paid his labor, but he also received a salary, which is the reward for him. To make more money, merchants have to transport more goods and go further, and how can officials earn more wealth? That is to manage more people and play a greater role. That is to be a bigger official.

These are all limited.

A merchant can run a business very much, employ thousands or tens of thousands of people, but he goes further and further, but if he does not have a solid industrial foundation, what will he sell? He himself does not create wealth. If there are ten thousand merchants but only one craftsman, can he make money? His limit is how much wealth created by craftsmen.

What about being an official? If you don’t use your power for personal gain, Volume 5, the world collapse Chapter 453, Bingzhou’s political affairs (Part 2), and don’t want to be greedy, then what if he can be the three dukes? The annual salary of the three dukes is called 10,000 shi. A month is 350 shi, and a grain of 175 shi, and the money is 175 shi. Even if you add various rewards, you can reach up to 300 gold a year. He is not all of these 300 gold. He has many guests to support, and even if he gets them all, 300 gold is only a medium-sized scale for those who do business. The powerful families in Bingzhou earn three hundred gold in middle age, but only a few three dukes in the entire Han Dynasty?

Then why are officials the easiest to make money? That is because they are plundering, not creating, such wealth growth is not worthy of pride. If everyone plunders, it is impossible for Bingzhou to have such a scene in recent years. Plundering may create wealth as quickly as possible. But it is impossible for him to plunder for a long time. He is a tree without roots and a water without source.

The powerful people who became rich in the history of the Han Dynasty are examples. They started their own business by plunder, but which one has been more than a hundred years? The Dou family, Liang family, Geng family, and Ma family are all living examples. Now the Yuan family is going to follow their footsteps, and they are rich themselves. But the price is the collapse of the Han Dynasty. Why can the Yellow Turbans create such a big momentum? It is because of the wealth of the Yuan family, hundreds of farmers went bankrupt.

Do you want Bingzhou to collapse like a great man? Do you want to be a borer that has sucked away the foundation of Bingzhou? Do you want to abandon the upright way of getting rich and use faster plunder to get rich? If you think so, then the new policy is meaningless, because I can tell you clearly that if you want to plunder, my fist is the hardest and the fastest knife is, and no one of you can rob me.

Liu Xiu finally said: "I will not adjust the salary of the county magistrate for the time being, but there will be corresponding solutions to solve this problem. County magistrate, the county magistrate can live with dignity, but if you want to make a fortune on this, I advise you to die. I will not tolerate the common people wearing official uniforms in Bingzhou rampant. If you have to, please give it to me and let me rob it first."

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left. Zhao Yun and Jia Xu hurriedly followed. Wang Yun hesitated for a moment and followed. Wen Shu's face turned red and white. He looked at the stunned officials, and waved his hand in anger: "Everyone, what are you waiting for? You have to wait for the general to take people to your house to rob? Let your children go home and tell them not to squeeze into the School of Sutra. Within three years, the children of Bingzhou should not enter the official career again. As for those who have entered the official career now, if you are willing to continue to use money as an official, then you can do it. But be careful and don't be caught by me. If anyone dares to make trouble, it will not only be against me, but also against all the families in Bingzhou. Don't blame me for being rude."

Guo Xiang also waved his hand, "Okay, okay, everyone will part. Let's take a break outside and think more about what the general said just now. Do you want to continue to implement the new policy with the general, or do you want to be a traitor? Think clearly. When you greet the general later, you will express your opinion and let the general see the enlightenment of my Bingzhou people."

Everyone looked at each other and dispersed in groups. Wen Shu, Guo Hu and several other officials looked at each other and came to Liu Xiu's back hall where he rested. Liu Xiu was talking to Wang Yun and Jia Xu, with a pretty good expression. Wen Shu was relieved and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "General, I am confused and let down the general's good intentions."

Liu Xiu quickly helped him up, comforted him a few words, and said formally: "What was my contract with you? In fact, it was not for anything else, but to restrain myself. Everyone knows that the rule of Wenjing came from the way of Huang Lao Wuwei. Why could the way of inaction create the rule of Wenjing? Because in the world, the most feared thing is the people with power. What can ordinary farmers do to make a fortune? But a word of power can make countless people lose their money. Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing were called wise kings by later generations because they were afraid. I am not a saint, and I dare not compare with Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing, so I signed a contract with everyone and announced it to the world, so that everyone could supervise me."

He smiled and said, "Actually, I'm going to tell you, when I'm tight, I really want to tear this contract and snatch it back."

Wen Shu and others were both amused and laughed. I don’t know if Liu Xiu was joking or really had this plan, but when I think about it carefully, it’s true that the one who restricts the new policy is Liu Xiu the most. In the most difficult time, he had to borrow money from everyone instead of forcibly levy. The money he owed would be interest every year. If it weren’t for the fact that he made a fortune on war horses last year and sold grain to the Yellow Turbans at a high price, Liu Xiu still owed them money.

"I'm so confused." Wen Shu blamed himself again: "The general knows self-discipline, but I am confused. He turns a blind eye to such self-destruction. He almost let the new policy die. It's really time to come to that point. Not only do I feel sorry for the general, but I can't explain it to the elders of Bingzhou."

"Who can be wrong without a sage?" Liu Xiu said lightly: "However, ugly words are ahead, Wen Jun, the last time my son made a mistake, I criticized the whole province. This time you are no exception. If you have any offense, please forgive me."

Wen Shu's face froze. He happened to see Wang Yun's proud gaze, and his mouth was a little bitter. He thought that this was the idea of ​​Quan Bingzhou people. Now I am unlucky and I have to report criticism from Quanzhou, so my face was greatly lost. When I dealt with Wang Yun last time, why didn't I expect that I would have this day?

But when things came to this point, he could not resist the responsibility, so he had to bow his head and accept it.

"Okay. Let's talk about the news again and again. Tell me about the development of Bingzhou in the past two years. I only know that the people of Bingzhou are rich now. I really don't know how to have money." Liu Xiu laughed excitedly and pointed at Guo Xiang: "Lingzun was once the accountant of the Han Dynasty, let's start with you. How has your Guo family developed in the past few years."

Guo Xiang laughed and bowed, "General, let's not hide it from you. Our Guo family is not the best in Bingzhou. However, since the general is interested in listening to me for a few words, I will throw away the bricks and tell you about the gains in the past few years. The general can listen to Zishi later. His family has been doing a big business in recent years. He, the king and the master, did not have the talent to assist the Holy King, so he will become rich first."

"Is that true?" Liu Xiu laughed, "Then wait until you finish speaking, then Master Zi will continue."

Wang Yun had always been flirting with his face, but after hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and pointed at Guo Xiang and said, "You, you know you are staring at me all day long. What kind of talent is Wang Zuo? You are, your whole family is."

Everyone laughed.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "Zi Shi, I don't think you are humble. Now the general is also the prince of the King of Chu. The King of Chu has only one descendant, so this title will definitely be passed on to him in the future. You, the master of the king, have now found a place to use your skills, so don't miss it."

Wang Yun understood: "It is an honor for me to be able to assist the prince of Chu. I never thought that Guo Linzong's original praise came true today. This kind of person's character is unforgettable."

Liu Xiu's heart moved and exchanged a look with Jia Xu, and he felt a little happy. Wang Yun said Guo Tai specifically, which was not a casual sentence. "Whose house is there?" This sentence indicates that the Han Dynasty is about to perish and destiny is in Yuan. It was said by Guo Tai. Wang Yun, who is now rated as the talent of Wang Zuo by Guo Tai himself, was begging him under his seat, which was more important than the suggestion. I dare not say anything else, as long as the Bingzhou people in the house go out to promote it, most of the Bingzhou people will follow him wholeheartedly.

The position of King Chu seems to be very useful. He has become a royal family. At least at this stage, at least Wang Yun and Xun Yu who have the emperor in his heart will no longer reject him. If the emperor is in power today, the royal family will naturally have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the royal family of the vassal guards. Being loyal to him means being loyal to His Majesty. If this reason makes sense, many things will be smoother.

"It is my honor and the great man to be able to get the help of Master Zi and you all." Liu Xiu stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.

Zhao Yun and others quickly returned the gift: "I hope to serve the prince."
