In the Palace of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, the officials of the former Qing Dynasty and the generals of the New Tang Kingdom who are now here. Anyway, one of them is counted as one, and they are a little confused.￥f,.

Because just now, what he said was Li Mengyang, the emperor of the Pacific Rim Federation Empire...

So fucking strange!

Yes, who doesn't want to hear the truth?

If you, the emperor, want to tell anything, then you can say it, we will all take it as true, true!

That's right, it's because everyone thinks this is a bit problematic, which is not very reasonable, that is, logic.

But this matter is not blamed by others, but Li Mengyang did not make a mistake or deliberately. It should be said that this matter was something that Li Mengyang thought of temporarily!

What's going on?

That is, all the individuals present, together, probably wouldn't understand what Li Mengyang was going to say!

Another most critical thing is that Li Mengyang quickly figured out what he was going to say. Not only did no one understand, but no matter how he said it, there was no problem. That is, no matter whether he said it true or false, there would be no change in the end!

So, what is this guy going to say?

I saw Li Mengyang taking a small stick. This thing was used for the map, but it seemed to have become his coaching stick at this time, and then the guy said.

"What I want to say is simple and difficult, and it is difficult. Simple, that is, you all live in it, but it is difficult, there are too many things in it. Well, I won't keep it, so I just said, what I'm going to tell you is, economics, economics, and learning!"

economics?

How do you talk about economics? Isn’t this talking about land reform?

Yes. Li Mengyang knew very well that in the matter of land reform, we must talk about economics, because this principle is in this economics!

Then economics...

"What kind of knowledge is this?"

"Economics? Hi! What's the way to manage the world? The learning to save the world!"

"Oh, yes! Long live my emperor!"

Well, these former Qing ministers were really amazing. They were directly in this Hall of Supreme Harmony and redefined economics. High, really high!

But, is it really the way to manage the world and the learning to save the world?

"Hahaha..." Li Mengyang really smiled, but he was not a mocking smile, because he knew that only these ministers did not understand this science. In today's China, there were not many people who knew it, so Li Mengyang said: "Have anyone ever read Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations?"

As soon as this question arises...

"this……"

"Your Majesty, have you seen it?"

"This, this, this..."

Obviously, in this book, the original officials from the Qing Dynasty had never read it, but...

"I've heard of it!" Li Hongzhang was speaking, but he claimed to be in the lower class. This is very interesting.

"So it's Li Zhongtang! He is so respectful and respectful." Li Mengyang replied.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the New Tang Kingdom, I can't bear it!" What Li Hongzhang meant... His neck was quite hard!

It’s really a bit OK to talk about this old man. For example, when Yuan Shikai came in before, he didn’t do anything like Weng Tonghe, Zhang Zhidong and others. This old man was going to go out to find soldiers, but it was a pity!

In this Qing Dynasty, what other soldiers can we fight?

In this Qing Dynasty, there were only private soldiers controlled by the local government. For example, Li Hongzhang himself had strong forces. But unfortunately, they were all "old soldiers".

The so-called old soldiers are of course aimed at the "new soldiers". In other words, the Qing Dynasty Central Committee is not stupid, they are smart. They have already thought about it and want to train a new army, but it doesn't go as they wish. They are relatively short of money.

By the way, didn’t Empress Dowager Cixi trade stocks before?

In fact, Cixi also had an idea, that is, to make the central government's finances relax, and then the new army could be trained. But in the end, all of them were lost.

The central government does not care about the old army in Li Hongzhang's hands, and they all rely on him to prepare for it himself, which means that it is very difficult.

Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty could reach this point?

Just Yuan Shikai's refugees made the capital a big fuss. Fortunately, the foreigners and others didn't react. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty might have a surname.

But there is another interesting thing in this Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"I said to Li Zhongtang, what are you fighting? Let Your Majesty talk about it quickly!" The person who spoke happened to be Yuan Shikai!

Why is Yuan Shikai in this Hall of Supreme Harmony?

How simple is it? Just as Li Mengyang, a time traveler, saw Yuan Shikai, he didn’t look at him like a rare animal?

Actually, Yuan Shikai is well-behaved. He didn’t give a letter of surrender before, that was Zhou Zili. After surrendering, Yuan Shikai had a very good attitude and actively cooperated with the transformation... Well, this is all the reports of Li Mengyang’s subordinates.

So, can Li Mengyang let go of such an interesting boy?

Come on, come over and get involved too.

Then, at this point, there is no need for Li Mengyang to delay it.

"It can be seen that no one has studied economics, but in fact, this economics is closely related to everyone. You have not read it, but it does not mean that you have not done it. In short, your trading behavior is the category of economics..."

Li Mengyang really started talking about it, so why should he talk about economics?

Or, what is Li Mengyang talking about?

What Li Mengyang said first is to briefly talk about "The Wealth of Nations"!

Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" is really a classic. It is an introductory must-read work in economics, because this is the first economic system work of mankind.

Li Mengyang, a history student, did not study economics himself, but his subject party history is inseparable from economics, because in fact, as far as the works of Marx and Engels are concerned, this is all economics!

So what exactly is economics?

Just Li Mengyang remembers that there was a program in Baodao later, which was about finance. This program was considered to be more conservative and had the best ratings in Baodao. However, in this program, we often asked famous philosophers and philosophy professors on Baodao at that time to let them talk about economy.

Just how nonsense is the TV shows on Baodao, but they all know that economics has a great relationship with philosophy.

By the way, economics is actually related to philosophy, and this science actually studies not economics, but human society. This is part of sociology!

In other words, to study society, to be more specific, is the current social situation of the Qing Dynasty, so you must understand economics knowledge!

Therefore, Li Mengyang introduced Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" as soon as he started, because this "The Wealth of Nations" is definitely the most highly praised economic masterpiece in Europe in today's society.

So what is talking about here?

The market!

"The Wealth of Nations" actually talks about a market economy, an invisible hand, which will make the market balance. That is to say, this is a theoretical work that humans first know themselves and their society.

Didn't it before?

The so-called works in the past are really not very useful, and Adam Smith's words are indeed very well said.

And Adam Smith also mentioned one thing, that is, the market issue.

In the market, an imbalance is the state of supply and demand. Imbalance is the norm. And balance is actually just a moment, that is transactions.

Anyway, there are a lot of things in it, but this does not have much to do with what Li Mengyang is going to talk about. What Li Mengyang is going to talk about is actually a market!

"Your Majesty! Why do you want to talk about this market?" Bai He was also in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He was really too curious about this issue.

It should be said that all the old Qing officials at this time, including the prince and the emperor, were confused by Li Mengyang's words, but for this question, why, they really wanted to know, but they dared not say it.

Then why?

"It's very simple." Li Mengyang waved the 'teacher' and said, "Because what I'm doing now is this 'land reform movement', which is a market behavior, so I must let you know what the market is first!"

Is land reform a market behavior?

This matter is really a bit difficult to understand about the "all civil and military officials" in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, because it is too much!

It's indeed a bit over, because for people with a little economic theory foundation, you will immediately understand this further problem, which is to push the foundation and upgrade it soon, which is a bit difficult.

But that's what Li Mengyang said.

"Don't worry, you just need to understand the following things, that is, the market, we can expand this thing, just say, China, this is a big market, and what is the current situation of this market? You can always answer this question, right?"

Li Mengyang gave a problem, he really looked like a teacher.

"this……"

"that……"

Still no one can answer.

There was no choice but to say it himself.

"I'll just say that it is the Chinese market. The original Qing Dynasty has collapsed, and the resources in the market are completely unbalanced, which completely violates the laws of the market. So now, if we want to let this market, that is, our China, go on, as the new emperor in this country, I have only one way, that is, to return to zero and return to zero!"

With the word "zero", Li Mengyang actually said it was particularly heavy, but it was...

"..." No one understands these Qing Dynasty officials. Really, you can tell by looking at their eyes, and you don't understand at all!

But at this moment...

"Ahhh! I understand!" It was Yuan Shikai who called like this! (To be continued.)
