What is the economy? Not to mention the literati and doctors of this era, even a thousand years later, there are many people who don't understand and can't tell what this is.

It is complex, changeable, cruel and ruthless, and the economy is a living thing, it is constantly changing and balancing, but at the same time it never believes in warmth and tears.

Good is good, bad is bad, a good economy is alive and well, and the result is that the whole region is full of life, and the bad economy is sluggish, even if you look at the powerful country from the outside, you can smell a smell of rotten flesh when you get closer.

Since the formation of human civilization, the economy has been born with the birth of human civilization, and it not only needs the participation of businessmen, but everyone living or dead is actually one of its components.

Zhao Xiang is the smartest person in the world, although he doesn't know much about what Xu Li said, but after a little inference, he can understand how deep the water here is. And he lamented that the sentence "the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit" is definitely not an exclamation for money, but an exclamation for the relevance of economics and sociology.

"Farmers are bitter and taxes are heavy, and they have been so lamented for thousands of years, but why is it still the case for thousands of years? The truth is also the truth that Xu Changqing said below, you reduce taxes and spread the acre, but in the end, more people go to farm, and the price of more grain will naturally come down, and many people will go to the city to work and do business because of farming, and then people will say, 'Farmers are hard, taxes are heavy, grain prices are light, and they can't survive', this is the economy. Song Beiyun sat on it and took a sip of tea to explain to Zhao Xing: "In the first two years, Zhao Xiang pushed the change of acres of land, and made up a certain amount of money per mu per mu every year based on each household, but why did it fail after three years? ”

Zhao Xiang's face was very stretched next to him, he pursed his lips and said nothing, this is a pain in his heart, whoever mentions it is like a recurrence of an old disease, and now that he is brought up by a junior, he feels even more embarrassed.

"In fact, Zhao Xiang's idea is absolutely good, both the starting point and the implementation are the best, benefiting the country and the people." Song Beiyun raised a finger: "But why did it end without a problem?" ”

Xu Li has already begun to analyze the strength comparison of the three parties from the logistics and transportation of Jin, grassland, and Liao, and Song Beiyun also said wonderful points here, so Zhao Xuan pinched Song Beiyun's mouth: "Shut up, listen to the head." ”

Song Beiyun closed his mouth, and Zhao Xiang also restrained his mind and began to listen attentively to a businessman talking about the strategy of the military state, especially when he heard Xu Li say that today is different from the pre-Qin, and the strength and weakness of a country can be seen from the import and export of a country, Zhao Xiang's heart is also full of questions.

However, after analyzing the commercial entry and exit of caravans, smuggling and other channels, Zhao Xiang was shocked to find that as Xu Li said, the grassland tribes that had always been regarded as barbarians had become the largest buyers and sellers.

The throughput has surpassed the Song, Jin, and Liao Kingdoms, and among the Song, Jin, and Liao Kingdoms, the import and export throughput of the Jin Kingdom ranks first above the Great Song Dynasty.

However, it is not useless to have Song and Liao, that is, in the entire region, the export added value of Song and Liao is much higher than that of other regions.

But now there is a huge crisis here, that is, the crisis of the Liao State, if the Liao State does not complete this deal with the Great Song Dynasty, if the grassland departments complete the integration in time, and the Jin State also recuperates, the only thing the Liao State can do is to turn around and fight the Great Song Dynasty to seek a way to survive, but in this way, both sides will inevitably lose, causing the northern grassland tribes and the Jin State to take advantage of the situation and carve up the Liao State for only a few years at most.

The Liao State needs money, the Song State needs materials, use the money of the Song State to feed the soldiers of the Liao State, feed the people of the Song State with the land of the Liao State, and then use the money earned to buy more weapons and armor of the Song State, and then use this cycle to make the money come alive to be able to become strong in a short time. This is the real sameness, and this close connection is far from being comparable to marrying one or two princesses.

Of course, Xu Li will not talk about the sequelae of this, that is, the high value-added squeezing of the Great Song Dynasty, how can this thing be said during negotiations, naturally he can only say the good part, but he can't say the part that is harmful to the Liao State.

"Nope." After hearing this, Zhao Xiang frowned: "This person has to be an official, and it is really difficult for people to sleep peacefully if they are placed in the people." ”

I entered the stage of Liao players, but I can see that the Liao people are actually stupid, and the new version of the ship they have never seen before on the other side is not in their plan at all, so they can only pick a few plans prepared before to read from the script.

But even Buddha Baonu felt that his speech on his side was pale and weak, especially after people smashed out a bunch of data......

"Lord Xiangguo, you are the head of the hundred officials, let a merchant be an official, do you know that you have to resist the pressure of the entire scholar? He's not the son of a merchant, he's a businessman, and this class is there, at least it's against etiquette, and if it's big, it's a betrayal class. Song Beiyun said with a smile: "Look, I don't have a table word until now, isn't it because I don't have a father." Lord Xiangguo, think twice. ”

"Come, I'll give you a word."

"Well, don't keep trying to take advantage of me...... If you want to give it, it will be blessed by the king. ”

"I can't give it back?" Zhao Xuan was unhappy: "If you don't let me, I want it!" Remember, Song Beiyun, from now on, you will have words! You're a good word. ”

"What?" Song Beiyun was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Gongming, Song Gongming."

"I see that your little head is hot and dizzy......" Song Beiyun muttered in a low voice: "Let's change it......"

"I have a golden mouth, and if I say one thing or another, I naturally can't change it."

"You ......"

To tell the truth, the king of heaven and earth is the teacher, the king is above the teacher, and no one in the world will say anything when he gives the word, but the word is given...... What the hell is this grandmother, Song Gongming?

Thinking of the black-faced man shouting "Brother, I'm in", Song Beiyun's goosebumps stood up.

"Since the official family has opened his mouth, how can you bargain and accept it." Zhao Xiang said on the side: "Besides, the word Gongming is also a good idea, but not everyone can let the official family give such a name, you can thank you." But you can tell me why my previous plan failed? ”

Song Beiyun sighed faintly, looked at the triumphant Zhao Xing, and was silently disgusted by his own words, and after hearing Zhao Xiang's words, he was silent for a moment and organized a speech.

"Zhao Xiang's change of Ding Mu is also a success, and defeat is also a person." Song Beiyun raised a finger: "Zhao Xiang, your change is to let this Zhuang family live a good life and make more money." But if you think about it, can you make more money by changing the law like this? No. ”

"Can't? Why? Zhao Xiang narrowed his eyes: "You can talk about it." ”

"Better policies, more generous taxes, and more favorable conditions will inevitably attract more people to return to their hometowns to farm, and more land and more grain will naturally reduce prices, and then you see, the craftsmen and merchants in this city will have less competition with each other, but they can make more money, and people will return to the city one after another. Why throughout the ages, changes have often failed, saying that breaking the sky is just a sharp word, and earning it in your pocket is fundamental. Song Beiyun said with a smile: "The change failed to meet expectations in the end, but that's it." People all over the world are scolding the thief, saying why I can't make money in this line of work so hard, they think that it is the court, God who does not let them make money, but in fact it is not, any enlightened court will try to let the people live a good life, at least better and better, but in fact, it is themselves who really do not let them live a good life. ”

Zhao Xiang frowned and thought there, while Xiao Song continued: "Everyone has been to the Qinglou, right? ”

When Zhao Xiang heard this, he coughed again and again, while Yan Shu pretended to look around at the scenery.

"If there is only one green building in Jinling City, as long as the girl in it sits there, someone will throw money at her when she laughs. Is this day stable or not? But what if suddenly there are four, five, six, seven or eight green buildings around? Do the girls want to compete for beauty, play and sing? Whoever blows the best is the most profitable, right. Gone are the days of making money while lying on the table. The economy is like this, either with a high threshold and high income, or a low threshold and low income. Pull the whole world to a threshold, isn't it just that everyone can't make money. ”

"So what do you say?" Zhao Xiang asked in a deep voice, of course he could understand the truth of this remark, but he couldn't think of what to do for a while.

However, Song Beiyun also shook his head silently: "I'm ashamed to say that people like me are the kind of people who everyone wants to eat, and I have to ask for food." The only difference is that I know why I can't eat. But if you ask me to get food, I can't get it. ”

"Hahaha......"

Zhao Xiang raised his head and laughed, although Song Beiyun hated it, sometimes he spoke wittily, this person is by no means a thief as people say, he just has real talent and learning, but sometimes he looks too improper, and he is incompatible with the world's scholars.

But if you think about him carefully, the knowledge in it is by no means a clever idea, it must be something that has been repeatedly demonstrated.

Governing the country is nothing more than that, and just when Zhao Xianggang wanted to ask Song Beiyun why he went all out to get that workshop, the second round of negotiations at the end of the next round of negotiations was over.

As a result, as expected, the Liao State was completely caught off guard, starting from the great prince of the Liao State all the way down, and his mind didn't seem to turn a corner, his face was full of worry, and when Xu Li and the others said it, they felt that the grassland and the Jin Kingdom were about to come over in the next day.

"Let's go, I'm afraid it's enough for Liao to drink a pot today." Zhao Xingmei smiled and said, "There is no one to bully me? Hahahaha, joke! ”
