"Then you mean to make other people's money? If that's the case, then that people think the same way, you all want to earn other people's, and in the end, some people can't make it. It's like the white widows, who have always said that they are blood feuds for generations, can they still do business with each other and in harmony?" Yu Xiaoxiang continued to ask incomprehensibly.

"The economy is not a simple matter of earning or not earning. Xiao Yichen shook his head, shook his folding fan, pointed to the exquisite tea set on the table, and said: "In terms of this tea set, it doesn't look like a must, without it, no one will starve to death, right?"

"That's right, this thing can't be eaten, even if it's ugly, even if it's a gourd scoop, it can be filled with water to drink. Yu Xiaoxiang nodded naturally, looking as a matter of course.

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Yichen said indifferently: "But in the eyes of this king, these words are indeed very wrong. To make this blue and white relief cup, a special kiln factory needs to be established. To build a kiln, you need to build a machine. To build machines, a civilian industrial base is needed. Civilian industrial base, again need ......"

"Stop, stop, I see what you're saying. Yu Xiaoxiang waved her little hand, hugged the mantis head cutely, and said with a painful face: "As soon as I hear this and that, people's heads will explode." Wouldn't it be nice to just say that they are all related to each other? ”

"Hahaha......" After a hearty laugh, Xiao Yichen nodded and said: "The economy is like this, a perfect economic system is like a huge network, in which each ring will connect the surrounding rings, and then show boundless influence." For example, in foreign trade, whether it is a good year or a bad year, the empire will buy some of the necessary food from other countries, and will sell some of it to other empires. It may seem like a very stupid thing to do, buying while still selling. But in reality, this brings capacity added value. Not only can it balance the basic grain reserves of the whole country, as well as adjust the market grain price, but in this kind of transfer, the grain price has not increased, but the financial revenue of the empire has increased. Isn't it amazing?"

"Oh, I see, you are like a second-class dealer, by constantly changing hands,

to offset the price risk, but also to expand the flow of money, so grain is still grain, and you don't increase the tax on food, but you need to use starships in the transportation field, personnel, and their income and manufacturing expenses are taxed. It looks like it's very small, but the empire is so big, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still a piece of meat. Yu Xiaoxiang clapped her little hands, stared at Xiao Yichen and said excitedly.

"The children can be taught!" Xiao Yichen nodded with a smile, "One of the basic national policies that the empire has always pursued is called 'no tax for farmers'. In other words, if you grow food, no matter how big you grow, as long as you don't trade and keep it for yourself, then you don't have to pay a penny in taxes. But if you're trading, or you're shipping out of the planet of origin, you're going to have to pay a grain tax. In this way, the basic living environment of the farmers is guaranteed. Even if any of the emperor's faint monarchs come to power, at least they will not let the people who farm the land go without food. Speaking of this, Xiao Yichen said with a smile: "Look, the agricultural products that don't seem to have to pay taxes, their various agricultural taxes are a fairly large part of the empire's finances, and this is the benefit of trading." This is true both internally within the empire, let alone externally. Therefore, whether it is the empire or other countries, they will allow this kind of trade to be pure, and no fool will cut off his own arm and cut off international trade with the posture of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. What's more, who is eight hundred, who is one thousand, I don't know yet. ”

"It's better that you guys think so. Yu Xiaoxiang nodded, and then said: "Our Yankees there are engaged in trade wars all day long, bullying this and bullying that, and what economic sanctions and so on." ”

"That must be the Yankees you call the strong and strong, bullying the weak. Xiao Yichen slapped his palms and smiled: "A trade war can only be started when one side is several times stronger." This is because modern trade is all about each other, and once a trade war starts, the country's economy will be affected no matter what, especially the part that is in contact with the enemy country. In other words, if you want to damage an enemy by a hundred, you must be prepared to take out a hundred yourself. If one side is strong and confident that it can quickly recover this 100 production capacity after achieving its own goals, then it is completely reasonable for a trade war to start. But if not

That's stupid, because it only makes a profit for third parties and hurts their own production capacity. ”

"You're still smart, those Yankees aren't so smart, and they thought we were bullying, but they didn't become more and more reluctant, and they began to find themselves under the stairs and prepare for negotiation. Yu Xiaoxiang nodded, with a look of disdain.

"War, whether hot or cold, is a continuation of politics. In order to achieve a certain political goal, there will be war. So things like trade wars, economic wars, even inconspicuous cultural invasions, and so on, these are all continuations of the overall national strategy. The advantage of a great power is that the initiative is in its own hands. Small countries, on the other hand, are more miserable, they must rely on the surrounding powers, and even their diplomatic attitude must be closer to the strong countries. For example, those small countries in the northwest that are close to the empire, if they do not look at the face of the empire, they will face the empire's economic sanctions, or even an armed attack. There is no way around this. Xiao Yichen patted the folding fan, as calm as a casual conversation.

"Hehe, I didn't believe that you have lived for two hundred years, but now you believe more and more, you know a lot of things. Yu Xiaoxiang leaned on Xiao Yichen's shoulder and said with little stars in her eyes.

"This time I know that this king is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable?" Xiao Yichen smiled and stretched out his hand and nodded his nose, and said dotingly: "If you have time, read more books, even if it is a little east or west, after a few decades, you can be the same as this king, and everything is the head of the way." ”

"In a few decades, everyone will be an old woman. People are not your star clans, they can live for a thousand years. Yu Xiaoxiang pursed her lips, obviously not wanting to waste her life on things like reading books.

"Haha, silly girl, you should let you take a bath every day just to wash the fragrance?" Xiao Yichen shook his head speechlessly, and smiled as if amused: "Those are all cell activation regeneration liquids carefully researched by the Imperial Medicine Division. The effect is much better than that of the Shouyuan cabin used by the people on the ground! Ordinary people on the ground can extend their lifespan to about 500 years old, and people like you who are by the king's side can't survive those people on the ground? That king should really buy a piece of tofu and die in a crash. ”
