Chapter 218: Conflict in the Depths of the Soul

Fu Xiaoguan returned to Fu's mansion and did not immediately start writing "The Wealth of Nations", because the December leaves of the drizzle building were waiting here silently at the moment.

"Young Master, this is the information of the Water Moon Temple."

Yesterday, the master of Shuiyue Nunnery did not come out of the Comet Prince's Mansion, and Fu Xiaoguan wanted to know what she was doing.

After taking the note and opening it, Fu Xiaoguan frowned.

"Don't read the teacher, and the master committed suicide at noon today!"

He's dead?

Why did she seek death?

Just because of the exposure of Suigetsu-an?

Or is it because a guy from Yuhuatai was arrested more than a dozen people?

Fu Xiaoguan thought for a while, "Send more people to search Shuiyue Nunnery carefully for me, especially pay attention to whether there are any confidential letters in it." ”

"The villain takes the order!"

Ye Wusheng left the Fu Mansion, Fu Xiaoguan thought about it for a few more breaths, according to Ji Linchun's statement, this is not the status of the master in Yuhuatai, her Shuiyue Nunnery plays the role of transmitting information or orders, such as the assassination of Fu Xiaoguan last year, which was conveyed to Rouge Lou through Shuiyue Nunnery, and then handed over to Yang Qi and Zhao Si who Lin Hong found the Light Breeze and Drizzle Building.

According to the plan, after the two tied up Fu Xiaoguan, they were to be sent to a boat on a lake north of Langshan at the beginning of the day, but because of the failure of the operation, the boat north of Langshan was burned, as for where to send Fu Xiaoguan in the end? Who is going to kidnap Fu Xiaoguan, this matter is also broken, Ji Linchun only knows here, and she and Lin Hong don't know who the person who took over on the ship is.

In short, Yuhuatai was absolutely inseparable from the incident, so he invited Su Jue to monitor Yuhuatai.

But today in the Dieyi Palace, he asked Concubine Shang Guifei's opinion, and decided that he would not interfere in the matter of Yuhuatai anymore, because he couldn't bear the consequences, but Yu asked Okay.

The breeze and drizzle building is facing the Yuhuatai, which can be regarded as a battle between the two largest gangsters in the underground of Shangjing, of course, the fifth prince Yu and the fourth prince Yu will not directly face each other.

Fu Xiaoguan threw the note into the stove and asked Chunxiu to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then began to write "The Wealth of Nations".

"Man is by nature, and always will be, a selfish creature!"

These were the first words he wrote down on the piece of paper, and after a moment of thought, he threw the paper into the furnace.

This point of view is too sharp, and Yan Beixi and His Majesty can't adapt to it.

"What is a good economic strategy? A good economic strategy is to encourage everyone to create wealth, and to create laws to protect everyone's wealth! ”

"When everyone releases the motivation to pursue wealth and acts with the support of the state, their wealth can grow, and in the process, the country's economy will be more active and bring more tax revenue to the country, which is the liberation of productive forces!"

"Part I: On the Factors Contributing to the Productivity of Labour."

"Chapter 1: The Division of Labor in Society."

"There is equality between people, only the difference in the social division of labor. Farmers cultivated their fields to produce food, workers improved their tools to increase the output of goods, merchants sold goods to make them circulate, and officials managed the country to ensure social stability, and all walks of life could develop in an orderly manner. Everyone does what they should do in their own positions, which is the current form of society, but this is far from enough, because the current social form restricts people's pursuit of wealth and imprisons the pace of people's desire to move forward. Therefore, if we want economic prosperity, in the current situation, there must be top-down reforms to stimulate people's passion for creating wealth, so that people have the courage to pursue wealth without worries. ”

“……”

"The greatest effect of the refinement of the social division of labor is to greatly improve the productivity of labor, and to use the proficiency, labor skills, and judgment to increase the output of commodities per unit of time, which is the increase in value."

“……”

Fu Xiaoguan wrote freely, and indulged in it, not noticing that Dong Shulan was already standing behind him.

Dong Shulan tilted her head and looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, so her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, and there were many doubts in her eyes.

"For example, in the production of clothing, if the process is subdivided, it is design, material selection, material preparation, cutting, sewing, and packaging. Nowadays, there is no emphasis on design, so the clothes sold in the market are much the same. After that, all the processes are completed by one person, which is no division of labor. Imagine, if there is a special person to select materials and prepare materials, there is a special person to cut, there is a special person to sew, there is a special person to package, they only do a separate process in their respective positions, then they are naturally proficient, this is refinement, and the result is that the original ten people can only produce ten pieces of clothes per day, and ten people can produce fifty or even hundreds of pieces of clothes per day. This is the increase in the output of goods per unit of time, and the extra clothes are the increase in value. ”

Dong Shulan suddenly brightened, thinking about her small clothing workshop, if those female workers were separated according to the process, would the daily output really be doubled?

She decided to give it a try, but now she didn't leave, she wanted to see what Fu Xiaoguan wanted to write.

“…… Agriculture has its peculiarities and cannot be subdivided in the same way as industry. However, the productivity of agriculture is closely related to agricultural tools. Today's agriculture is extremely unproductive, requiring a large amount of labor and ultimately creating the lowest value. If you want to free up agricultural labor, you must improve your equipment to improve efficiency. For example, one acre of land needs one person to cultivate, and if you have good equipment, then one person can cultivate two acres or more of the field in the same time. This is the liberation of the productive forces, the surplus peasants can go ashore and let them engage in industrial production, this is the transfer of labor power, and it is also one of the initial conditions for economic activity......"

The setting sun reflects the red of Xuanwu Lake.

The stove in Tao Ran Pavilion had been replaced, and the flames were swaying in the evening breeze, reflecting Fu Xiaoguan's face and Dong Shulan's face.

Fu Xiaoguan is still working hard to write, and Dong Shulan is still watching seriously.

Su Su took a rock sugar gourd and swinged, thinking to himself, what is there to see about that article?

She also leaned over to look at it just now, except that she felt that the word was really ugly, she didn't feel anything else, it was very boring, not as good as poetry.

Su Jue took a few pages written by Fu Xiaoguan and walked in Tao Ran Pavilion while reading, and then felt that the writing seemed to make sense, and then felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on him that reading this whole article is to encourage people to pursue profits!

That's not right, if everyone pursues wealth, wouldn't it be a mess?

This is against the Holy Studies!

What the Holy School encourages is to make people good, to be benevolent, to be benevolent, to be righteous, to be courteous, to be wise and faithful, and to advocate the rule of the world with literature. But the meaning of Fu Xiaoguan's article is to focus on the economy and release people's desire for profit.

Su Jue gasped, if this article is released...... I'm afraid that this kid will be sprayed to death by the world!

Because in the eyes of the world, reading is always the highest level of existence in this society. Everything is inferior, only reading is high, this is not an empty word, but the words of a saint.

If the businessman is turned over, wouldn't this be a slap in the face of the world's scholars?

Of course, he also saw the value of this article, and agreed with the division of labor, which is like practicing swords, only by knowing each sword in his chest, can he smoothly perform a complete set of swordsmanship.

If only he could delete the remarks that were contrary to the sacred teachings.

This is Su Jue's opinion.

Dong Shulan, as a businessman, thinks this article is excellent.

Nowadays, the status of businessmen is extremely low, unless they have such a deep background as the six major gates of Shangjing, those small businessmen will never dare to expand their scale with great fanfare, and even dare not cross the line to do business.

Without it, if the government obstructs it, it will definitely be a huge loss, and it is even possible to die without a place to bury.

The sun set, the sky darkened, Chunxiu put on the lamp for Tao Ran Pavilion, looked at the back of the young master, and thought...... Should you call the young master for dinner?

It didn't take long for Fu Xiaoguan to stop writing, this first chapter was finished, of course, it can't be the same as the Wealth of Nations in the past, it was mixed with a lot of his own opinions, and the whole article was written quite smoothly, and it was quite satisfying.

Then he smelled the faint jasmine fragrance coming from behind him, a smile appeared on his face, and when he looked back, it was indeed Dong Shulan.

"Done?"

"It's still early...... Hey, today is a big court meeting, Yan Zai gave me such a problem. ”

"That's what you wrote?"

"Sort of...... Fu Xiaoguan moved his somewhat sour wrist, and said: "Your Majesty has put forward the two cross principles, that is, learning and teaching, labor and income, illness and medical treatment, old age support, and housing. But there was no money in the treasury, so His Majesty named Yan Zai to arrest the matter, and then Yan Zai got it on my head. The purpose of writing this thing is to let His Majesty and Yan Jae know how to do it, but whether they will adopt it or not is not for me to decide. ”

Dong Shulan and Su Jue sat down in front of Fu Xiaoguan, Dong Shulan's beautiful eyes stared at Fu Xiaoguan without blinking, and the smile on her face had already unfolded, revealing two intoxicating shallow pear vortices, "Listen to my father...... Have you been promoted? ”

"Don't mention it, give me a set, the doctor of Zhongshu Province, isn't this the object of Yan Zai's righteous instructions!" Fu Xiaoguan showed great dissatisfaction, but Dong Shulan grinned.

This is an official position in the center, and others can't ask for it, and he is still full of complaints! Could it be that he really wants to be the little landlord near the river?

Su Jue straightened his hat and spoke, "There is some truth in your article, but some of the views in it are quite conflicting with sacred science, is it better to delete some of them?" ”

Fu Xiaoguan understood what Su Jue meant, and he had thought about it, but he didn't do that.

"It can't be cut, it's a change, a conflict from the depths of the soul, there's no way to balance it, you can only choose. This is a matter for His Majesty and Yan Zai. As for me...... It's just to show them these contradictions. ”
