"Tell me the truth!" the Pope asked.

"We're scared, we're afraid of that guy Luo Heng, today he can bankrupt those guys, maybe we will be next. ”

"Your Majesty, not only did we not earn much this year, but we also carried infamy. ”

"That is, Your Majesty, would you come forward to contact us?"

“......。 ”

The Pope shook his head and said, "How can I open my mouth? Let those people speak, but I'm curious, don't you blame Luo Heng?"

"Your Majesty, is it useful to complain?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, Luo is a very person, it has not touched our interests, Your Majesty, you have also been in office for a few years, you can take a closer look at how you compare with those in the previous Holy See, income, and others in the past few years. ”

Several cardinals spoke one after another, and the Pope asked with some disbelief: "Really don't resent Luo Heng?"

"It's fake not to be resentful, but Your Majesty, you can't live with your resentment, and you're bankrupt, just like those few. ”

"Your Majesty, I can see it, believers are not all stupid~ sons, believers also want to have a good life, this incident gives us a warning, that is, believers just can't do with faith, and they have to eat a full stomach, Luo Heng didn't openly target us after all, of course those believers won't believe that Luo Heng will harm them. ”

When the Pope heard this, it suddenly dawned on him, what is the main source of the Holy See?

It's true that it's a believer, but a believer has to be full, even if he eats poorly, he has to eat enough before he can donate.

And in recent years, the Pope has known that the financial problems that give him any headaches are almost gone, but this year there are again.

I want money here, where I want money, I don't seem to ask for it a few years ago, but there are taxes to pay.

The tax department is the foundation of an empire, and in the past, the tax department of the Bright Empire was just a decoration, there was no money, these were believers, and the Holy See did not advocate bullying the common people.

There is no money for taxes, so the cities can only ask the empire for money.

This is also the reason why the bishops of the various regions do not interfere in government affairs, because they are poor, because they have no interests, and of course, there are many things involved in government affairs.

And as an archbishop, you just need to pray, so what is more comfortable than this?

Thinking of this, the Pope said: "Then let's not move for now, and let the other bankrupt ones toss." ”

"Yes!"

The remaining cardinals were not afraid of war, but they were afraid of poverty, of having no money.

Luo Heng's actions this time, everyone saw it at the time, but how to say it?

People, just have a gambling mentality, and when they look at other people's prosperous daily progress, they can't help but be envious and jealous.

When others want to transfer this business to themselves, where do they have any concerns, and if they have concerns, they should also put aside, so don't want to do that business just because they see other people's business booming.

There is also picking up other people's stalls, don't listen to what is good for the other party, anyway, everything is based on the worst, that's right.

Don't think you're smarter than everyone else, and then accept that you're going to roll over and sing or something.

That's an illusion, it's arrogance!

Fortunately, these archbishops did not lose money, but these archbishops found that they had worked hard, manpower and material resources, and did not make much money, not to mention, and ruined their reputation.

So these archbishops retreated, but the archbishops relented, how could it be?

So I was ready to let the Pope take the blame, after all, compared to it, the Pope's life is more difficult, don't think about taxes or anything.

When Luo Heng saw these news, he smiled and ordered: "Pay the taxes to these countries first." ”

"Yes!" "In fact, there will be no less taxes, import and export taxes!

However, this part of the tax was directly given to the major empires, and it was not said at the time, Luo Heng just wanted to see how these empires would react at that time.

The Pope and the dioceses are at odds with each other.

The Temple of the God of War is too, although the major tribes used to worship the temple, others are easy to say, if you want to say that you want to take things out, everyone is a little strange.

In addition, in the Orc Empire, there is also the royal family, don't look at the good cooperation between the royal family and the temple, in fact, they want to press each other.

"What?" The Pope of the Bright Sect was a little surprised as he watched a large sum of money go into the treasury.

"We didn't expect that. "The Chancellor didn't expect tax revenue to come in.

"What kind of money is this?" the Pope wondered.

"This is the agricultural association, because this year's purchase price was signed last year, so this price includes taxes, and the other is the wool, cashmere, and wine sales collected by the textile association, etc., because last year the major associations were within the empire, so the taxes are included in the purchase price, so this year the taxes are still returned to us, there are more than 1.2 million gold coins. The Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke.

"Then allocate a part to each city first, especially the troubled city, and we must stabilize it. "With this million gold coins, the Pope's mentality is stable all of a sudden.

As long as the guards, garrisons, and officials of the major cities are stable, then there will not be much chaos.

"Yes!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately went to carry out.

The various cities in those dioceses quickly got a sum of money, and their mentality was stable, at least there was no problem with public security and the salaries of personnel, after all, everyone had to eat, right?

Faith also needs to be supported by reality.

Just like dreams also need reality to support, I can't eat enough, you tell me to start a business?

NMMP。

Luo Heng's hand, the archbishops of various regions, hated it so much, which further aggravated the contradictions between various cities and archbishops.

There are some archbishops here, some thoughts, and they want the situation to be more serious, so they will take out a small amount of money to win over those people in the city.

The Pope and some of the archbishops inside the temple are as stable as dogs, but some of them are burning their eyebrows and going bankrupt!

The archbishop is very rich and powerful, but the huge chamber of commerce involves those assets, many of which are rented by other people, and it is impossible for the archbishop to say that there are so many assets in various cities, no income, so many people in the chamber of commerce, and a convoy.

Cars cost money, cars cost money to run, and people also need money if cars don't run.

A chamber of commerce that monopolizes a large region, how many people are there?

Tens of thousands, right?

Half of the five thousand!

So what is a month's salary, and there are other costs, these people are their subordinates, and they also have to eat, and it is impossible to pray and skip eating?

So what to do?

Of course, do you want to do business?

So these archbishops went to some nobles from the noble council and prepared to let these nobles take over.

The Assembly of the Noble Council, in which hundreds of nobles participated.

"This year's conference will be held to say one thing, some things don't think it's cheap, let's take a look at the data of various associations this year, in addition to the pump association, agricultural association, textile association, sewing association, these data everyone take a closer look. The Grand Elder of the Council of Nobles spoke.

When the economy develops to a certain extent, not only will it not rise, but there will be a process of decline, and if there is no process of decline, then there will be danger.

Just like exerting force, you need to rest and stabilize after exerting force.

Blindly rushing will consume the original energy, and when you are exhausted, then the consequence is that you have no strength at all.

The explosion of productive forces has made the entire world economy take off, and the economy is a big cycle, so that everyone can get what they deserve.

The kind of blind squeezing of a group, or even the squeezing of several generations, when the group is squeezed, the whole cycle system is very fragile, once something happens, then the cycle collapses.

This is also why Luo Heng set prices for several major associations, this price is not just a casual talk, but a combination of the interests of all parties to reach the most suitable price.

Without these associations, believe it or not, the weavers would not be able to wear clothes?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the data you see is real, before the population does not grow significantly, then this data will be maintained, just like the sales of clothes, the fluctuation will not exceed 10%, after all, a piece of clothing has to be worn for a year, it is impossible to say that like in previous years, you have to buy a lot of clothes, and quilts or something. ”

"Then the number of clothes goes down, and the workload of the weavers goes down. ”

"If the amount of weaving decreases, so does the demand for wool. ”

"If the demand for wool falls, then the wool for sheep raising cannot be sold, and the price will definitely decrease. ”

"Then the price of wool will go down, and those herders will buy one less piece of clothing. ”

"After such a vicious circle, what will everyone see in the end?"

Of course, this kind of thing is said by Luo Heng, as the author of the theory of wealth.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" someone asked.

"Everyone wonders why the prices of the major associations have not been lowered this year?"

"That's because a large part of the material in these countries is not sold. ”

"Of course, the materials in these countries are not sold, and most of the items in these countries have seen a decrease in sales. Luo Heng said.

These nobles below are all human spirits, and when they hear this, they will know.

"Your Majesty means that's it, let's not add any more material?" someone asked.

That's right, that's what it means. ”

"But that's one aspect, so I'm here to ask you, this cycle can be said to have avoided this year, but what about next year?"

"What do you say?" Luo Heng asked.

"Your Majesty, in that case, let's increase the population?"

"Yes, increase the population. A wise man spoke below.

Luo Heng nodded: "This is a good way, but just let the population continue to grow like this?"

"Of course it can't be!" Some nobles know that this is one thing, the population is large, and there are many troubles, and once something major happens, it will suffer.

"Yes, that's what we're going to talk about today, so let's talk about it first, or I'll have to say it by myself every time. Luo Heng said.

Population growth can be seen as the driving force of economic growth, but what is this driving force?

It's squeezing!

It's to let more people be squeezed!

That is, to reduce labor costs, instead of making a fuss about increasing personal consumption, the population base increases, and labor costs are gradually reduced, which is squeezing.

Then a new round of economic growth may not be able to grow, personal consumption is the big one, of course, the kind of Luo Heng who has been sweating for decades disdains to do it.
