In the face of the prince who humbly sought advice, Zhao Xing continued to give him advice: "The so-called rich country and strong army must start from the rich people. Only when the people are rich can the treasury receive more taxes, and only when the treasury has money can it support those professional armorers, so let the people be rich, this is the first and foremost, the prince will not refute this, right? ”

I don't refute it, because this is indeed an eternal truth.

The prince was gloomy: "Confucius said, the son does not say anything about the father, but in the face of the gentleman, I have to tell the truth." My father, since the victory of Zhengyan, has expanded the territory of Zhongshan and expanded the territory of existence. But it may have been a great victory that made my father a little dazed. Now my father, the king, is more focused on pleasure, and has begun to expand his mausoleum, with a magnificent palace and a huge mausoleum, which consumes a lot of Zhongshan's national strength. Although I have a dissatisfaction, as a Confucian scholar, filial piety comes first, and I cannot object to this. However, the endless conscription has begun to cause complaints among the people, and I don't know how to solve it. ”

Zhao Xing sighed, "The prince really loves the people, and between filial piety and love for the people, the prince is worried, what a benevolent thing." Then he said: "But the prince's ambivalence is actually very easy to solve." ”

This most difficult problem, in Zhao Xing's words, turned out to be a very easy problem to solve, so the prince knelt down and stood up, and asked for advice: "In filial piety and peace of mind, there can be the best of both worlds, and please teach me." ”

Zhao Xing smiled: "Money, I'm a businessman, so I think money can solve all problems." ”

The prince frowned, because the gentleman talked about money, which hurt the body.

Zhao Xing didn't care, and explained the doubts of this prince who was worried about the country and the people: "If we make the people rich, we can let them buy goods, and during this period there will be transactions." And when transactions are generated, there will be taxes, and the treasury will be abundant. And once the treasury is abundant and a mausoleum is built for the king, it can replace conscription with a situation of mercenary. When the people made money, of course they didn't complain, isn't that so? ”

The prince thought about it for a long time, and finally seemed to understand, so he arched his hand and said: "If you can really make the people have no complaints according to Mr.'s method, this will be another virtuous government." I'll do it now. ”

Zhao Xing shook his hand gently: "What kind of change is gradual, and you can't rush it." If the employment method is implemented now, it will bring down Zhongshan's finances. Then he sincerely and patiently advised: "We first turn the surplus grain in the hands of the people into money, and then get the first batch of financial revenue in this transaction, and use this first batch of financial income to hire the people, this is the king." ”

The prince was in tears of gratitude to Zhao Xing, because this person loved this Zhongshan more than Zhongshan people, and then gave a sincere salute: "With Mr. Cai, being a businessman is indeed wronged, if I can inherit the throne in the future, I will hire Mr. as a guest, please don't refuse at that time." ”

Scourge a person, can be so grateful and trusted by the victim person, Zhao Xing thinks that he is the most successful, for this, he feels a little guilty in his heart.

"Of course, with my ability alone, I will never be able to transport all the grain in the hands of the people of Zhongshan, so I will teach my skills of making fine wine to the people of Zhongshan. We can't sell food to other countries, but we can sell wine. Turn the surplus grain into fine wine, sell it to other vassal states, and then exchange it for our money. Then he stretched out comfortably: "The world's money will flow into our Zhongshan through fine wine, and when the country is plump, you can feed as many soldiers as you want." How much equipment is needed, we take the money and go to buy it from other vassal states. For example, the sharpest crossbow arrows in the world, we can buy them from South Korea, the sharpest bow and arrow in the world, we can buy them from Qin, the strongest armor in the world, we can buy them from Zhao, and the best war horses in the world, we can buy them from Lou Fu and Lin Hu, so how can the world's strongest army not be realized? ”

The prince was fascinated by the blueprint outlined by Zhao Xing like this: "As long as the people are enriched, then the army is strong, and then the world is conquered, Mr.'s plan is really wonderful." If I can inherit the throne in the future, I will ask my husband to make a false appearance. ”

The chips were higher, Zhao Xing was quite proud, and said with a smile: "If it is to help, I am happy to accept it, whether it is a fake appearance, forget it, because I am already rich and rival the country, hahaha." ”

The prince was ashamed, he was ashamed that Zhongshan has rules, and the help must belong to the Sima family, which is a tradition and a rule.

Arch his hand and be ashamed: "Because of traditions and rules, I can't realize Mr.'s wishes, and when I ascend the throne, I will worship Mr. as the national teacher." ”

Zhao Xing nodded with satisfaction, National Teacher, very good and powerful. It's a pity that in three years, Zhongshan will no longer exist, and when the time comes, I will be the national teacher of a ghost country, and I will chill when I think about it. Forget it.

Zhao Xing got the permission of the prince, and immediately went to the countryside to buy the surplus grain in the hands of the people at a high price. As for what is surplus food, what kind of standard is considered surplus food? This Zhao Xing's bitter explanation to a common man can be seen: "The current price is so good, and the time I can do this is only 2~3 years, why don't you take the opportunity to sell me all the grain in your hands?" After this village, there will be no more shops. What the? Sell me all the grain, what will you eat later? Aren't you going to grow food next year? Will the harvest be wiped out next year? It's impossible, as long as you buy Daijun's iron farming tools, your harvest next year will definitely be even better than this year's, so why not take this opportunity to make a fortune first? Are you stupid? Are you stupid? ”

Therefore, the people will be able to maintain the food ration until next summer, and all of them will be counted as surplus. These grains flowed endlessly to the Yan country, which was short of grain, and the Zhao country, which was in urgent need of reserves.

At the same time, in order to solve the problem of cheap grain hurting farmers, Zhao Xing generously donated his own method of making fine wine, and vigorously promoted the winemaking industry in Zhongshan Kingdom. And Zhao Xing even transported these wines to Sitong Customs for sale. So in the blink of an eye, there are many wine-making workshops everywhere in Zhongshan country, and Zhongshan's already prestigious wine is resounding all over the world.

And because of this high price of grain income, the people of Zhongshan have become richer, they can wear fresh woolen clothes, they can buy exquisite furniture produced by the county, and they can marry their daughters and wives beautifully. In just two years, Zhongshan became rich and prosperous.

With the increase in food prices, the people have seen the great benefits of farming, and also let them see the prospects for a better life.

Since farming can make the family have more than enough food and clothing and live a prosperous life, why bother to respond to the country's call? What about bringing your own food and weapons to guard the frontier? And why respond to the country's call and go to the front to fight to the death to get the war captures that may or may not be?

Taking advantage of the high price of grain in recent years, the whole family went into battle and planted crops wholeheartedly. Sell the expensive swords and armor quickly, and use the money to buy newer farm tools.

As for the money, Zhao Xing is not worried at all, because the scale of Zhao Xing's mint has doubled, and correspondingly, the steel mill has expanded by 5 times. Selling ironware and many other items that were not available in Nakayama to the huge market of Nakayama brought a steady stream of income to Daigun's finances. The booming machines of the mint mint mint a huge amount of coins every day to fill the huge demand in the market.

Inflation? In this day and age, there is no such thing as a shortage of coins in the market, which is unimaginably huge, and the money of Daigun, because of its beauty, is so popular with the people of the world that inflation is simply impossible.

And in two years, Zhao Xing is already rich and rivals the country, at least, the treasury of Zhongshan is rich. 1603454586
