After more than a month of battery workshop bidding, it was finally successfully completed, and the three local tyrants who were qualified to do battery projects have been determined, although Ang Lee did not ask the forces behind the three winning businessmen, but these things cannot be hidden for a long time, and it is estimated that as long as you want to investigate, you will soon be able to find out.

Walking out of the bidding venue, the businessmen all gathered in groups to discuss this bidding activity, and the organizers such as Ang Lee naturally did not keep their mouths shut.

"Li Shilang, this time with a small bid, the treasury is a lot full! A full 160,000 pieces of gold, excluding the 3,000 pieces needed to lease the land and provide some machinery, there are still more than 150,000 pieces of gold. ”

An eight-grade official said happily.

"Yes! This time we made a lot of money for the treasury, however, the official did not expect that the final amount would be so large, far beyond my previous estimate, I estimated that it would be very high to get 350,000 gold, but I didn't expect to get more than 150,000 gold for the court at once, tomorrow, Your Majesty will definitely be very happy, haha! ”

Ang Lee laughed happily.

"Li Shilang, if there are these good projects in the future, you might as well use them to bid, in this way, the treasury will definitely be quite full, and you can also bleed the rich businessmen, they are too rich, it is most appropriate to come up with some support to the treasury."

A six-rank petty official gloated.

His income is not high, seeing these businessmen so rich, he will naturally have some red eyes in his heart, hatred of wealth has existed since ancient times, not later.

And the reason why people hate the rich is because many rich people get rich through improper means, and after they get rich, they are not benevolent to the rich, and often oppress the poor, and even, some of them get rich overnight, which will naturally make many people dissatisfied, especially the people who get rich, which is the most annoying.

These refer to the normal hatred of the rich, which is legitimate, and there is another type of hatred of the rich, which is hatred of all the rich people in the world, whether it is a person who gets rich through improper means, or a person who gets rich through legitimate means, they are extremely hateful, they will compulsively think that wealth must be related to corruption, why do others live better than me, why are others born with a golden soup spoon, and they are born with nothing, why is this society so unfair.

And this kind of people are often the people who are most eager to become rich, they hate the rich in their hearts, and at the same time they aspire to be rich, these contradictions are very distorted in their hearts, and their outlook on life and values are seriously distorted.

According to the definition of later theories, in the Chinese Empire, the definition of hatred of the rich is that when some people break the long-cherished historical aspiration of the Chinese people for thousands of years to equal the rich and the poor, and show off their wealth in the world, people's doubts, anger, jealousy, contempt, disdain, resentment, hatred and other complex psychological states shown by the rich and noble class, especially those who get rich overnight, are the behavior of treating the abnormal concept of wealth, and it is caused by the righteous heart of not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality.

In any era and any nation, the blush of wealth is the existence of a state of mind, but people often consciously find reasons to balance this mentality, such as understanding the owner of this rich man's wealth as the huge price and hard work of the other party, the shadow of the hard work of the ancestors, or some overnight rich people and the children of rich families do not have some kind of precious spiritual wealth, etc.

However, once the reason for the other party to be rich is not very convincing and satisfying, or the cost of wealth paid by the other party is too low, especially when there is too much overlap between wealth and corruption, the sense of unfairness will sublimate into hatred, so there is a hatred of the rich to kill the rich and help the poor, but if this psychology is too serious, it will lead to mental illness. The gap between the rich and the poor in society is too large, and the inhumanity of the rich for the rich is also the cause of hatred of the rich.

Ang Lee is definitely not a person who hates the rich, because Ang Lee is rich enough, so, if Ang Lee hates the rich, then he hates himself, so Ang Lee will never hate the rich, Ang Lee's heart is very healthy, and helping the poor is also something he often does.

As for why there is hatred of the rich, what is the root cause of the hatred of the rich? This was not studied in depth in ancient times, but later civilized societies have analyzed it in a very in-depth and detailed manner, and profoundly explained the reasons for the hatred of the rich from many different angles.

For example, from the general characteristics of human nature, the deep-seated reason for hatred of wealth is the strong possessiveness of individuals for wealth. To hate the rich is to hate the rich, not to hate the wealth itself, and to love the rich is to love the rich, not to love the rich. The essence of hating the rich is to love the rich. Here hatred is the means, love is the end. Possession of wealth to others is hatred, and possession of wealth to oneself is love. Wealth itself is a coin, and hate and love are just two sides of the coin. For himself, it reflects the love side of the coin; For others, it reflects the hateful side of the coin.

From the perspective of social reality, loving the rich is a very normal psychology that most people have, in ancient China, some people who killed the rich and helped the poor were regarded as heroes, but people wanted to become rich.

In addition, it can also be analyzed from the institutional aspect, the wealth generated by the social hierarchy generated by the system is most likely to cause social dissatisfaction, for example, the income gap between court officials and ordinary people, the wealth brought about by the asymmetry of information in the possession of social status, etc., all cause social dissatisfaction and form hatred of the rich.

It can also be analyzed from a theoretical point of view, and hatred of the rich is also a natural logical extension of the love of the rich. On the one hand, human desires are infinite, and on the other hand, resources are scarce. How to make limited resources satisfy unlimited desires, in which individuals occupy as many resources as possible is a prerequisite for achieving this goal. The objective reality of resource scarcity also means that when others occupy more resources, the possibility of owning more resources will be reduced, and the means to satisfy one's own desires will be reduced. This creates a sense of pain for the individual.

The hatred of the rich is an outward manifestation of this personal suffering. On the other hand, if a person completely gives up the desire for wealth, then there is no need for him or her to develop a hatred of the rich. Therefore, excluding the influence of other factors, a person's psychology of hating the rich and loving the rich should have a certain proportional relationship.

In addition, when the level of material income is low, the utility level of material wealth is relatively high, so poverty has the effect of exacerbating the hatred of the rich; On the contrary, with the increase of a person's wealth and the continuous improvement of his income level, his hatred of the rich also has a decreasing trend.

For example, Ang Lee is like this, in his previous life, because he was at the bottom of the society and his income level was relatively low, he would more or less have some hatred of the rich, but after coming to Datang, with the continuous improvement of his wealth and status, the hatred of the rich is completely gone.

After all, Ang Lee himself is a rich man with huge wealth, and he is the richest man in the Tang Empire, so where is Ang Lee qualified to hate the rich, it would be good if others did not hate the rich Ang Lee.

Some people believe that the hatred of the rich has a certain positive significance, such as promoting the pursuit of fairness, from a philosophical point of view, this view has a certain truth, because everything has advantages and disadvantages, but the negative effect of hatred of the rich is also great, and a direct effect of hatred of the rich on the rich is fear.

For example, in a society with a very strong atmosphere of hatred of the rich, many rich people do not dare to consume too much, for fear of exposing their wealth because of their consumption behavior, which will threaten their personal safety.

And this is obviously against human nature, because people have the need to achieve themselves through consumption, and this will correspondingly produce a kind of conspicuous consumption behavior, which will lead to the attack of the hater of the rich, and then make the rich dare not consume, and this will inhibit consumption to a certain extent, which is not conducive to the development of the economy, so, in this way, the actual effect of hating the rich is very unfavorable to the poor and the rich, the rich are difficult to consume, and the poor are difficult to achieve a continuous increase in income because of the rich people's inhibition of consumption, If the rich stop consuming, it will be difficult to sell luxury goods, and in this way, the clerks who sell luxury goods and the craftsmen who make them will have to lose their jobs, thus causing a series of vicious circles, which are extremely unfavorable to economic development.

In the atmosphere of hatred of the rich, in addition to being afraid of consumption, the rich class is also afraid of investment, because investment can be regarded as a kind of publicity, which is easy to attract the attention of people who hate the rich, and then affect the personal safety of the wealthy class.

But if all the rich people do not invest, the disadvantages of economic development are also obvious, because there is investment, there will be production, there will be supply, at the same time, there will be investment, there will be demand, because investment demand is also a part of demand, therefore, investment from both supply and demand aspects of the national economy to promote the effect, so from this point of view, the negative effect of the rich on the economy is long-term, at the same time, the rich will also have a certain indirect stimulating effect on some non-productive investment, such as investment in security will increase, and these have no long-term effect on the development of the economy.

For example, Ang Lee's investment in a workshop requires a lot of raw materials to drive the prosperity of the raw material business, and it also requires a lot of labor, so as to promote employment, so that the people can have a way to make money, and the products produced can also meet the needs of many people, in short, it is a great benefit, and it is no wonder that Ang Lee's hometown in later generations will take investment promotion as the most important work to do, and even decide on the promotion and demotion of an official for this purpose.

In addition to being afraid of consumption and investment, a society that hates the rich will also make the rich afraid to do charity, because once you do charity, it is equivalent to showing your wealth, and you can donate millions of funds to help the poor, which doesn't mean that the funds you have far exceed the number of millions, and people who know that you have so much wealth, in case you have bad intentions, it will not be troublesome.

For example, it will stimulate the hatred of the rich and the poor even more, leading people to think that the rich are all bad guys who are not benevolent to the rich, and it is also not conducive to the rationalization of distribution, because charity is the third kind of distribution relative to the market and the government, and charity has a certain positive significance to supplement the shortcomings of the market and government distribution, and it is not conducive to the development of humanitarianism.

The last one is to lead to the outflow of funds, because the atmosphere of hatred of the rich in the country is too strong, and the rich class has no sense of security in their own country, so they will think of bringing their funds and wealth to live in other countries, and go to a region where the society is more stable and there is no atmosphere of hatred of the rich, and after these rich people leave their own country, they will cause huge losses to their country in a certain sense, and after they live in a foreign country, they will consume in a foreign country, thereby promoting local prosperity. If a large number of the country's wealthy class all go abroad with their capital, it will be a huge loss for a country.

If we want to solve the phenomenon of hatred of the rich in society, there are many ways, but it is impossible to completely eradicate it, and it can only be alleviated a little, so that the phenomenon of hatred of the rich in society is not so serious.

For example, to develop the economy, make the cake bigger, so that everyone's wealth is increasing, so that they can have a certain sense of happiness, the mentality of hating the rich will be relatively weakened, and the system will be improved, so that everyone can have the opportunity to obtain wealth fairly, improve the legal system, put an end to corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen, improve the system, and most importantly, strengthen education.

Of course, the most reliable thing is to improve the personality cultivation of the rich class, put an end to the occurrence of unkind and flaunting of wealth for the rich, and encourage and protect the rich class to engage in philanthropy, so that the poor class of the whole society will be grateful to the rich, thus contributing to the overall stability of society and promoting the development of a country.

After Li Ang launched the wave of industrialization, he also clearly felt some changes in the society and humanities of the Tang Dynasty, although the people's hatred of the rich is not very obvious, but it is slightly stronger than before, especially the businessmen who have not been able to make a fortune with the help of the wave of industrialization, their hearts are very unbalanced, and after seeing many powerful people suddenly get rich, the whole society will have unhappy thoughts, just now the official's words are a good illustration of this point.

"Isn't it a pleasure to see these big businessmen put so much blood!"

Ang Lee asked with a smile.

When the little official next to him heard this, he immediately put away his gloating expression, and said with a smile: "How can there be, how can there be, the lower official is purely happy to see that the treasury has increased by more than 150,000 yuan!" ”
