I'll go~"

"Lao Liu is really a talent, what he said makes sense~"

"I didn't expect that this prince not only earned money, but also fed so many people, so that these hundreds of thousands, no, millions of people have lived a good life."

"That's right, this is the way to govern the country, so that more people can live a better life, this is the way to govern the country, as for what benevolence and virtue, it's all nonsense, only shouting empty slogans, but people can't see anything practical at all."

After listening to Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao's little eyes suddenly narrowed, and he kept nodding, saying yes, saying well, why didn't he find out before, he had done so many good things unknowingly, benefiting millions of people.

As for Wang Shouren, his head was also buzzing at this time.

He always felt that what Liu Jin said was wrong, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

Liu Jin speaks with data, how many factories and workshops, how many workers, how much monthly money there is, and how many families follow the income, which is much more convincing than using empty words such as what kind of king, minister, benevolence, righteousness and morality.

At the same time, Wang Shouren felt that Liu Jin's words were not wrong, and the way to govern the country for the monarch should indeed not just shout slogans above the temple, but should go deeper into the bottom, understand the needs of the people, and then let more people live a better life.

Such a statement is very simple, although it is not as beautiful as the language summarized and condensed by their Confucian tradition, but it is not rough and reasonable, and it contains profound truths.

If Wang Shouren was a traditional reader and nerd, he would definitely refute Liu Jin immediately, but Wang Shouren thought that he was a person who was good at thinking, discovering and exploring, and he would study anything in depth, so he felt that what Liu Jin said was right.

"Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing!"

Here, Liu Jin spoke again.

"For ordinary people, what he cares most about is not who is the emperor, nor who will govern the country, what he is most concerned about is whether he and his family can fill their stomachs and whether they can have enough clothes to keep out the cold."

"Brother Wang, your family is superior, your father is the champion prince, you don't have to worry about food and clothing since you were a child, so naturally you can't understand the suffering of ordinary people."

"I came from a poor background, lost my father at a young age, and my mother raised me up for me to study, so I know very well what ordinary people need most."

"In fact, simply and popularly, the way to govern the country for the monarch lies in how to let the people live a good life, these people are not just scholars and doctors in the mouth of scholars, not only landlords, but those at the bottom of the people, are farmers, craftsmen, military households, they are the water, water can carry boats, can also overturn boats."

"Governing the country can also be governed from many aspects, scholars pay attention to righteousness, what to be benevolent to the people, to be virtuous, of course this is not wrong, but we can also think from another aspect, from the economic perspective to think about how to govern the country."

Liu Jin slowly opened his mouth and began to talk to the two of them about the economic theories that prevailed in later generations.

The most important thing for the countries of the world in later generations is the economy, because whether the economy is good or not is closely related to the vital interests of the people, the economy is good, the number of unemployed people is small, everyone's income is increasing every year, and the common people naturally have hope for their lives.

The economy is not good, the number of industrialists is large, the income is reduced, and the life of the common people is naturally not good, in the final analysis, it is actually an economic problem.

When the economy is good, there are fewer social problems, and when the economy is bad, there are more social problems.

But for this era, it is difficult for everyone to understand at all, what is the relationship between this governance and the economy?

When the country is good, it should be the king who is diligent in government and loves the people, diligent and thrifty, pro-virtuous ministers and far villains, and it is best to rule the world with scholars and doctors, which is the best time.

When the country is bad, it is basically inseparable from the cruelty of the king, the extreme desire for poverty and luxury, and the traitors of the state, anyway, simply put, the country is prosperous because the emperor is close to their scholars and scholars, and the country is declining because the king is not good, close to the villains, and do not reuse their scholars.

The pen is always in the hands of the readers, no matter what, it will not be the fault of their readers, and the fault is also the fault of the king and the villain.

Therefore, this is the way of governing the country and what economy it is, and what ordinary people have nothing to do with it, after all, the common people are ignorant and don't care.

“… What is the use of this silver in the cellar? ”

"It has no use, neither can it be eaten, nor can it be used to wear, the role of this silver is to be spent, this silver can only be spent money, it can drive consumption, there is consumption, naturally there will be more people to work, to create more wealth."

Liu Jin was a little dry and messy.

However, Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren generally understood some of the content and principles of economics in later generations that Liu Jin said.

"Our court has no money, and the tax silver for a year is only less than five million taels (with the addition of Ha, you have to pay two million taels of silver a year to run a salt farm), but I don't know how much silver is buried in the ground of our Ming Dynasty."

"Does this silver have any effect on our Daming?"

"No, it didn't do anything, just some bumps, buried in the cellar, neither edible nor worn, without a trace of effect."

“… Therefore, His Royal Highness and I started these industries and talked about how to make money, we ourselves are seeking benefits, but in the same way, we are also contributing to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Ordinary people can work, they can support their families with their own hands, the imperial court can collect taxes and silver from the industries under our command, and the imperial court also has silver, so they can do more things, such as running more schools, strengthening the construction of border towns, and increasing salaries for everyone."

"And because we run an industry, we work hard and produce more things, such as the Miyun Iron Factory, which can produce 100,000 catties of steel at one time, and the output in a month is higher than the steel output of the entire Daming Dynasty before."

"With so much steel, we can build more farm tools, cultivate more fertile land, and build more weapons and armor to strengthen the strength of our Ming army......

Liu Jin spoke very messily, and he couldn't say it all in one go.

Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren also listened quietly, opening a new window from Liu Jin's words, a new world, thinking about how to govern the country from the perspective of economics and thinking about the prosperity of all dynasties.

"Governing the country from an economic point of view~"

"I like it~"

"Lao Liu is really a talent, obviously such a shameless thing, it just made him rise to such a height, admire."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but express his admiration for Liu Jin again, this ability is really gone, but this prince likes it, and it makes sense.

The prince's money is fake, but it is true for the country and the people.

As for Wang Shouren, he frowned and pondered, Liu Jin's words are very reasonable, all dynasties have used the way of sages to govern the country, but why is there a change of dynasties and the reincarnation of history?

Is it really all because the king is ignorant and incompetent?

This is not necessarily the case, many of the kings of the dead country may not really be talentless, nor may they be really stupid and incompetent, there must be some truths that have not been discovered by everyone for a long time, which can reveal the change of dynasties and the prosperity of the society.

There is no way to explain these things in Confucianism, and perhaps from an economic point of view, we can find out the truth about the changes of dynasties and find out the laws in them.

In addition, what Liu Jin said, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the original set can also be done, the people have land, and they can also support themselves and their families.

If these workers lose their jobs, what is the difference between losing their fields and losing their fields?

It's essentially the same, so how do you explain it?

Wang Shouren had many, many doubts in his mind, too many, too many things that he couldn't think clearly, but soon, his whole person came to his senses.

He is a person with a research spirit, if he is placed in the future generations, he will definitely be a university scholar or a great scientist, because once he is interested in something, he will go all out and devote himself to it, and he must study the truth thoroughly before stopping.

"Economics~ Maybe you can give it a try, like Liu Jin, and open some factories, workshops and the like to study it, so that you can really figure out the truth."

Soon, Wang Shouren had his own ideas and ideas, and he was going to start a factory like Liu Jin, and then study some of the truths contained in it by opening a factory.

He is such a bullish person, he can devote himself to researching anything, and he is not working to make money, but just to study the things that Liu Jin said.

Because he thinks that if you don't experiment and experience anything in person, you are not qualified to discuss it at all, and it is easier said than done, and many things can only be truly understood by trying and doing it yourself.

This is a code of conduct that he has always pursued, daring to try, summing up experience and lessons from practice, so as to explore the truth hidden in affairs.

Liu Jin didn't know that Wang Shouren in front of him actually had the idea of opening a factory, if he knew, he would probably be surprised, because of his words, Wang Shouren was fooled to the road of capitalists, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
