Merchants can sell anything, and as long as someone is willing to buy it, the commodity has the possibility of circulation.

But in this world, because there are not too many people who have surplus funds to spend outside, in fact, money flows among a small number of people.

Only those who have gathered wealth can enjoy what is superfluous.

In fact, there is not much commercial capital in this era, and there is not much place to spend it.

A lot of rich people, in the end, the way to spend money, is to raise more people, produce what they need, they raise these people, and some can also enjoy the items they make together, in fact, there are really not many types of these items.

Therefore, the overall total amount of commercial activities is actually relatively low, and the commercial tax that can be received is still relatively limited.

If we want more business activities to rise, receive more taxes, and change the lives of more people, we can only change the total amount of wealth itself.

Qian Rujun suddenly thought that maybe she had been ignoring an important matter.

The money of the Han Dynasty can still be minted by private individuals, and the quality is relatively unstable.

A lot of the time, the deal is bartered.

This situation also has a relatively large obstacle to the collection of commercial tax.

"Making money, Jinmaicheng has been doing it. It's just that it doesn't seem to be very profitable to make money, do you want to do something that loses money?"

Money is the way to speed up the circulation of production.

If we let the world have more materials, then the excess wealth will be produced, and the overall wealth will increase.

Through the circulation of money, it is possible to sell things to third parties and re-evaluate the value, which may increase the price of the goods, but it is also easier to obtain the items you need.

It's a pity that the emperor really can't understand Qian Rujun's statement.

Qian Rujun herself may not really be able to understand, but she can know that most people in this era are doing the lowest level of production, if everyone produces the same thing, on average, everyone can enjoy a little more.

Although it is difficult to understand the question of aggregates, it seems simple to think about it the other way around.

Don't think about individual things, but about the whole thing, when everyone enjoys a little more things, then her life wants to not get better, it becomes more difficult.

There are only tens of millions of people in Dahan, and it should be easier to become happy than more than 60 billion people.

Of course, for their lives to become better, one condition must be met that the food can be adequately transported to them.

Without food, people can only face death, even if the money in hand can buy enough food in other places, in the case of inconvenient transportation, people can only starve to death in places where there is a shortage of food.

If food from one place cannot be easily transported to where it is needed, then specialized production cannot take place.

People must make sure that they have enough food in order to be comfortable in non-farm activities.

Dahan must have a way to transport grain quickly, and some places suitable for development as workshops can attract more people to open workshops to produce.

Otherwise, all the industries are crowded together to have some pushing effect, and even make the populous place an important center of industrial production.

However, in the Han Dynasty, where the population was large, it was often an important grain-producing zone, so if the grain-producing zone became an industrial production center, it would destroy the local environment, turn the place that could produce grain into a place that could not produce grain, and instead let some places that were not suitable for producing grain to produce grain, which was definitely a regression rather than a kind of progress for the Han Dynasty.

If we want to industrialize a place, we must solve the food problem, so the first project of industrial production must not be anything else, but something that will increase food production.

However, it is difficult to take this step.

Because peasants are often the poorest people, all the inventions of agricultural equipment are the cause of the widening gap between the rich and the poor.

The Green Revolution has benefited from it, often not by those who need it most.

Those who need it most, often die from the Green Revolution.

In the case of grain production, efforts must also be made to expand the fields, so that the surplus manpower can be used for the cultivation of new fields, so as to ensure the orderly growth of food.

After confirming that 50 percent of the population can engage in non-agricultural activities, it is possible to ensure that there is enough food in the area.

But in fact, in later generations, less than 10 percent of the population was agricultural, and of course this less than 10 percent of the population does not mean that only 10 percent of the population can sustain everyone's food.

For farmers with high mechanization and large land, only two percent is enough.

However, where the mechanical flower is low and the land of the peasants is insufficient, it even takes 20 or 30 percent to have enough food for the people.

Because only 10 percent of the land in this country can be cultivated, but 10 percent of the people who cultivate, and the harvest cannot ensure the food supply of the place, so they can ensure that the local people have enough food to survive.

Therefore, in order to ensure that there is something to eat everywhere, it is necessary to ensure the transportation conditions of this place, because even in the era of advanced technology, people still cannot avoid natural disasters that affect farming.

Therefore, after the increase in food production, if everyone wants to enjoy the benefits of increased food production, then the transportation must be improved, so that those who produce more food can send food to places with less food production.

The change in the overall environment involves the change of many figures, and the change of this number, once it is not continued, will cause a catastrophe and famine, and the result is a large surplus of grain, and a large surplus of grain will cause many people to give up grain planting.

Too many people give up grain planting, which is not necessarily a good thing for the Han, only enough transportation capacity to be able to turn the surplus into a human harvest.

As for mechanized production, many of them are high-tech products, and even if Qian Rujun asked the students of Xuetang Island to work hard, there was no way to produce everything.

No matter how efficient their production is, with the conditions that can be produced in this era, in fact, it is impossible to produce a machine that can expand production in more than ten days at most, so it is impossible to meet the needs of the Han.

Of course, when the Han Dynasty took precedence, when the neighboring countries were still wild and backward, either they established information to come in, or the country continued to expand out.

Maybe the people from nearby countries, or those without the protection of the state, will lose hope of survival and be slaughtered all, but with Qian Rujun's understanding of the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that the people of the Han Dynasty will not be slaughtered all, but will absorb these people.

Unless these people are too small to see in their eyes, they will be slaughtered in an inexplicable way.

When there are too many people, the Han people will think that the massacre is too much time waste, and it will waste too much time, or these people may think that those who do not die before their eyes, they will feel that it is none of their business.

It is likely that these people died because their land was occupied, and they had to flee for a chance to survive.

Death that cannot be seen, in the minds of the Han people, they will not and will not think that it is their fault.

They believe that fighting for their right to exist is a legitimate act.

Of course, if there is more land than they need to survive, they can show compassion and allow people of other races to live on their territory.

At this time other people's pain, they do not see it.

Only when one survives, has enough surplus, and has no competitive needs, will they radiate their conscience elsewhere and let others feel their conscience, and they can receive the gratitude of others.

In the final analysis, Qian Rujun still felt that what she had recently said to the emperor was correct, and that only by improving transportation would the growth of food be effective.

To improve grain, to improve industry, to develop, this is the only way for the Han to become strong.

As for the people outside the Han Dynasty, how they developed in the primitive era is none of Qian Rujun's business.

Anyway, in most historical records, most of the ethnic groups in it will be annihilated in history.

Perhaps they will become a member of other peoples, and their bloodlines will merge with other peoples and continue to survive.

If a place pays too much attention to pure blood, a big problem will occur, that is, the blood is too close, and the bloodline mutation occurs, and many children will become the weakest existence.

The Siraya and other Pingpu tribes on Jijiao Island have almost disappeared, but the bloodlines of the Siraya and other ethnic minorities have left a part in the body of the Han people, and even the proportion of the Han people's bloodlines is still relatively low.

In the end, it is difficult for people to wonder whether he himself is Han or Siraya.

However, because the culture of the Han people occupies a major position, people are still willing to admit that they are a member of the Han Chinese nation.

It's just that they are reluctant to admit it because they are oppressed.

No one in the world can be 100% sure of what is good and what is inferior in the current society.

In the nineteenth century, the situation of absolute European dominance has gradually disappeared, but it can be seen that the dominant culture now belongs to European culture.

Therefore, the advantage of European culture is still relatively high, and the main reason is that Chinese culture has always oppressed technology, allowing skilled workers to live in dire straits, and there is no room for them to survive.

To be able to thrive under oppression is already remarkable.

The Europeans, on the other hand, gave these people the opportunity to develop.

So the craftsmen who took off created another new world.

It's not that craftsmen can't read, it's just that the Han culture doesn't give them the opportunity.

Craftsmen who read books no longer regard themselves as craftsmen.

It was really supposed to be a major development project, but it was left behind.

Western culture is not the inheritance of this oriental culture, oriental culture does not pay much attention to science and technology, and now it is finally starting to take a while to catch up with technology.

However, they are only catching up, they still do not occupy the highest end of the world, but because they occupy a large amount of capital, perhaps in the future, they will be able to continuously improve their science and technology.

However, when everyone's salary is getting higher and higher, and in the new investment direction, people no longer regard China as the direction of investment, but India or other third world as the direction of investment, maybe in the future, their development will slowly stop, and even many old problems will begin to stop the process of development and shake up.

People can ignore these problems, but when life comes to a standstill, these problems will slowly become apparent.

Up to now, the shortcomings of many people not only exist, but also become bigger and bigger, and even constitute the world's greatest peace crisis.

In particular, their development speed is too fast, and they do not pay attention to human culture, most of the rich and smart people are forced to go to Europe and the United States, because they do not recognize private property, and this result makes more people have no way to stay in this place to develop.

But the countryside does not recognize private property, there are still certain advantages, because. These people can rely on their land, have enough money to live, and even become very wealthy.

It's just that such a place may depend on what kind of place it is, and losing land is a terrible thing for the villagers of a place.

Although they no longer farm, the land they own has also disappeared, which means that their fields are not in their hands, and their fields are sold or not sold in the hands of the government, which is a very terrible thing.

Because if you don't live on the land, your land will disappear, and it will be too difficult to get new land.

Because once you become a city person, you will have to bear the price of the city in the future, which is a very terrible thing, and other people in the country do not know how happy it is to own land.

Once they become urbanites lose ownership of the land in the countryside, their children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences of this in the future.

Food is the main reason for human survival. The land where food is produced can make you invincible.

The people who ate with Qian Rujun didn't know that after another meal, Qian Rujun thought about so many things.

Even what Zou Pan wanted to know most was whether Qian Rujun thought the fish he grilled was delicious, because it was related to the development of his store in the future, until Qian Rujun finally said:

"The fish you cook is as good as ever, just like meat. It's just that the taste of this fish seems to be better than before. ”

"This is the fish here, and the taste is more spiritual than other places, so the taste is already good.

I don't know if you think the fish you eat is better than the fish you've eaten before, or if you don't, it's my failure. ”

"I just noticed when you said that! As for whether it is better than before, it should be!"

Qian Rujun will not say that she used to hardly eat fish outside, because the fish she ate were basically fish in the space, and she felt that the fish was delicious now because after Zhonghe's cooking, Zou Pan improved the taste of the fish to be more delicious than the fish in the space.
