Chapter 120: "Fucha" vs. "Goujian"
"Yes, Wuchuan Town has indeed done a lot better than the conscience of Wuchuan Town in all aspects, but it can be regarded as touching the interests of Luoyi Academy, of course it is impossible for people to give up. Han Ling thought for a while and said.
"I'm afraid the main reason is that Wuchuan Town has a separate army, right? Luoyi School Palace is worried about this problem...... That's why I decided to hold peace talks with Wuchuan Town, even if I can't grab all the benefits, I can put pressure on Wuchuan Town, balance the grievances of some people, and take the opportunity to make Wuchuan Town spit out some of the benefits as a link between the two sides to continue to maintain this superficial relationship, right?" Ji Qing said.
"Well, this reminds me of the story of "Seven Strategies of Remembering Ran" that I saw in ancient books before, and now the contradiction between Luoyi School Palace and Wuchuan Town has been put on the surface, isn't it like King Yue Goujian dealing with that Wu Wangfu?"
"You mean, Wuchuan Town is Goujian, and Luoyi School Palace is Fucha?"
"Yes, loyal minister, you really know a little. Han Ling nodded.
The story of King Goujian, the king of Yue, who spent twenty years before and after, and the story of the success of destroying Wu and taking revenge is well known to Ji Qing.
The two famous ministers who assisted Gou Jian to destroy Wu's "right-hand man", Fan Li and Wen Chong are also famous in history, but what many people don't know is that behind Gou Jian's success, there is a set of economic strategic deployment quietly playing a role.
Under the planning of Fan Li and Wen Chong, Gou Jian adopted seven major killing tactics against Wu State, which were: one is to donate currency to please his monarchs and ministers; the second is to accumulate noble corn sacs to make them empty; the third is to leave beautiful women to confuse their minds; the fourth is to leave behind the skillful and good materials, so that the palace can be used to exhaust their wealth; the fifth is to confuse the relics of the ministers to make chaos their schemes; the sixth is to make the ministers of Xinjiang commit suicide to weaken them; and the seventh is to accumulate wealth and train the army to bear its shortcomings.
However, most of these seven killer moves are outward-looking, and they are all methods aimed at Wu Guo. From this point of view, Fan Li's master proposed a series of measures to develop himself within the Yue country, which is the deep-seated guarantee for the success of Gou Jian's extermination of Wu.
Fan Li's master is named Xin Wenzi, it is said that Xin Wenzi is a disciple of Lao Tzu, erudite, all-encompassing, especially good at calculation, and because of his superpower in calculation, Xin Wenzi is more called Ji Ran in history.
According to the "Historical Records: The Biography of the Goods Colony", it is recorded: "Ji Ran is the king of Xiyue Gou Jian trapped in the Huiji, but Fan Li and Ji Ran. ...... In the second year, the country was rich, bribed the soldiers, broke the strong Wu, and brushed the shame of the meeting. ”
In historical books such as "Historical Records and Collected Explanations" and "Yue Jue Shu", "Wu Yue Chunqiu", Ji Ran is also called Ji Ni and Ji Yan, because the pronunciation of "Ran", "Ni" and "Yan" in the Wu Yue dialect is similar, in fact, they are all Xin Wenzi.
Xin Wenzi was a martyred nobleman who fled to the Song Kingdom from the Jin Kingdom, and was also known as the Fisherman because of his fanaticism for playing near the water.
Xin Wenzi happened to meet Fan Li when he was traveling in Vietnam, and accepted Fan Li as an apprentice, and also went to see Gou Jian by the way.
The apprentice Fan Li hoped that his master Xin Wenzi could stay and assist Gou Jian to achieve hegemony, and Xin Wenzi said to Fan Li: "The king of Yue is a human being, and the long-necked bird has a beak, so he can share hardships with him, not with common prosperity." This is also the reason why Fan Li later decided to retreat bravely.
How could what the master said be wrong?
Xin Wenzi taught Fan Li seven countermeasures for developing the economy and revitalizing commerce, and Fan Li actually only implemented five of them in total, and successfully made the Yue State destroy Wu.
Later, Fan Li got rich in business, and also relied on these methods, Fan Li later wrote a book to record these seven strategies, and named it "Seven Strategies of Ji Ran".
This "Seven Strategies of Ji Ran" should be the earliest systematic business theory in ancient China, and it can be said to be a textbook of ancient business warfare and getting rich, and even businessmen all over the world call this book "Peerless Wealth Classic".
Before Ji Ran and Fan Li, although Guan Zhong, the famous minister of Qi Guoming, also had many innovative economic views, the content of the "Guanzi" he wrote was relatively complicated, basically all kinds of aspects were involved, strictly speaking, it was not a special work on ancient economics.
And what does the strange book of more than 8,000 words say in the strange book of more than 8,000 words?
The first policy: demand determinism
Original text: Knowing the fight is repaired, and the use of time is to know things, and the two forms are the feelings of all goods can be obtained.
The meaning of this passage is: if you know that you want to fight, you must be ready at any time, and if you grasp the time and use of the goods, you will understand the goods, and once the law of time and "use" is formed, you can grasp the situation of various goods and see it very clearly.
The second policy: price regulation theory
Original text: Fu Guang, twenty sick peasants, ninety sick ends. If the disease is terminal, the wealth will not be produced, and the agricultural disease will not be cured. If the upper is not eighty, and the lower is not reduced by thirty, then the end of agriculture will be profitable, and there will be no shortage of customs and markets, and there will be no shortage of ways to govern the country.
The meaning of this passage is that the peasants' interests will be harmed by the price of grain sold at 20 yuan per bucket, and the merchants will suffer losses for every 90 yuan per bucket.
When the merchant suffers a loss, money cannot be circulated to society, and if the peasant suffers, the land will be barren. The price of grain per bucket shall not exceed 80 yuan, and the minimum shall not be less than 30 yuan, so that both the peasants and merchants can benefit. Grain is sold at parity and other prices are adjusted in a stable manner, and there is no shortage of checkpoint taxes and market supplies, which is the way to govern the country.
The third policy: physical axiology free Chinese
Original text: The principle of accumulation, the completion of things, interest-free coins.
Meaning: to store goods, you should ensure that the goods are in good condition and do not use money that requires interest payments.
The fourth policy: trade timing theory
Original text: Trade in the face of things, don't keep the goods that are corrupt and eat, and no one dares to be expensive.
Meaning: buy and sell goods, do not hide all items that are prone to decay and corrosion for a long time, and do not risk hoarding them for high prices.
The fifth policy: value judgment theory
Original text: On its surplus and shortcomings, you know the noble and low.
Interpretation: If you study the situation of surplus or shortage of goods, you will understand the reason for the rise and fall of prices.
The sixth policy: the extreme of things must be opposed
Original text: If you are expensive, you will be cheap, and if you are low, you will be expensive.
It means that when the price of goods is extremely expensive, it will return to cheapness, and when the price of goods is extremely low, it will return to expensive.
Seventh policy: capital turnover theory
Original text: Expensive is like dung, cheap is like pearl jade. Money, money, and money are like flowing water.
Meaning: when the goods are extremely expensive, they should be sold in time and regarded as dung, and when the goods are extremely cheap, they should be purchased in time and treated as jewelry. The circulation of goods and coins should be like flowing water......
And the Wuchuan Town that Ling Hao worked so hard to build has fundamentally shaken the original status of the town, and the vested interests of the town have been violated, so it is normal for these merchants to go to Wuchuan Town to make trouble.
What's more, this is still a world where "Shinong Industry and Commerce" is rampant, and the status of businessmen is already very low, and now Wuchuan Town has trampled on the service school town with this overwhelming advantage, and Luoyi Xuegong, as the "behind-the-scenes board of directors", can't stand it, so he sent people to contact the main figures in Wuchuan Town and "discuss" it.
Originally, I thought that the construction of Wuchuan Town just wanted to get a piece of the pie, but I didn't expect Wuchuan Town to gradually collapse the town through this means, this is undoubtedly demolishing the platform of the Luoyi School Palace, I heard that the person who built Wuchuan Town is named Wang Meng, and he is a mediocre young man.
Luoyi Xuegong thought of sending a few eloquent bachelors to kill his sharp spirit.
The concept of Shinong industry and commerce is the general name of the four kinds of people in ancient times in "Guanzi Xiao Kuang", and the so-called four people in ancient times refer to scholars, farmers, workers, and businessmen.
According to the record of "Guanzi Xiao Kuang": "The four people of Shinong, industry and commerce, the stone (pillar stone) of the country are also." "Huainanzi Qi Folk Training": "It is a person who is not an official, an official who is not a businessman, a farmer who is a businessman, a farmer who is different from another state, who is a farmer and a farmer, a man who speaks and acts, a man who speaks skillfully, and a man who speaks a few words." ”
Some people say that the ancients arranged the agriculture and commerce industry in order of their contribution to society, but this is not the case.
Shinong industry and commerce does not refer to the high or low status, but the four aspects of governing a country, and also refers to the priority and urgency.
The scholars of the world have settled, and then the peasants have also settled, and the scholars are to unify their thinking and speak for the people, so that the world will naturally be stable......
"Why don't we go and see the excitement?" Han Ling stabbed Ji Qing in the chest with her elbow.
"Don't go, I still have to go back to tell the story in the evening, it's better for us to mix less in this kind of thing, besides, now my top priority is to quickly break through to the ground lock two, don't you see that a girl in the Ling Mansion is now locked in the ground five? If I don't work harder, maybe even the concubine's martial arts strength will be stronger than me in the future!" Ji Qing suddenly snorted a little angrily when he said this.
Even Chen Shuozhen, who was casually given to him by Lao Ling's mansion, has the strength to lock the ground fivefold, and look at himself again, now he is still a ground lock...... This man is more popular than a dead man.
Although Ji Qing can stabilize any diner in Ling Mansion in terms of qualifications, the martial arts level of the men and women who can't stand Ling Mansion can steadily suppress him, so if he really fights, he will definitely be the one who suffers in the end.
He doesn't want to be able to beat a little girl like Chen Shuozhen in the future, and maybe there will be a scene where someone kicks him away......
"Alas, you've really practiced martial arts to the point of madness. Han Ling shook her head helplessly.
