Chapter 1855: The Foundation for Change
"Doesn't business need control now? Many people have given up farming and followed the merchants, and if this continues, something will happen sooner or later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mi Zhu hesitated and said, although he was born as a businessman, Mi Zhu seemed to be very interested in restricting businessmen.
"It's far from the accident, forget it, I seem to have forgotten to popularize something for you, and your perception of society is actually a little biased." Chen Xi sighed and said.
In ancient times, the main reason for the heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce was, to put it bluntly, the problem of out-of-production, and this production really refers to farming.
"Oh, let's hear it." Liu Bei didn't care about Cao Cao's unhappy expression at all, anyway, he had been abused by Chen Xi many times, and for Liu Bei himself, as long as he grasped the position of military commander, it would be fine.
"In fact, from ancient times to the present, the so-called problem of heavy agriculture and suppression of business, to put it bluntly, is to curb the number of people who have lost production." Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders and said.
"How many people are out of work?" Cao Cao frowned, he had never heard the word at all.
"Well, that's the number of people who don't produce, let's say a few of us." Chen Xi spread his hands, and Cao Cao's eyes were stunned when he heard this, and he instantly understood a lot of things.
"In fact, this is a very helpless fact, first of all, the aristocratic families who account for two percent of the country, the clans, these are completely out of production, and these people are supported by the people." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, Cao Cao and Liu Bei suddenly turned ugly, Chen Xi didn't say that they might not notice it for the rest of their lives, but they understood it instantly after saying it.
"Then come down to the off-duty soldiers, I think you understand this, if you want the soldiers to be really elite, don't think about the military tun, that is, pull out the drill if there is nothing to do, don't let them do farm work, just let them train, this part of one percent, although it may be more than that, it may reach higher when necessary." Chen Xi's expression was extremely calm.
"After that, we will count some others, such as officials, Xu officials, these full-time and semi-full-time, in fact, what we can really see directly is about three or four." Chen Xi sighed and said, "This is also why the most basic tax on the field is thirty taxes and one. ”
At this moment, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's faces were extremely ugly, many things were handed down by the ancients, why is this so, to be honest, there is really nothing that can be explained in this era, and now Chen Xi told them why very directly.
"Because the 30 tax is enough to basically ensure the survival of this group of people when they are out of production for three to four, but a country not only wants people to live, but also has other things to do, so there are various taxes." Chen Xi sighed and said, "This is why there are such words as reckless soldiers, and although the country is warlike, it will perish." ”
"To put it simply, there are more people out of work, and the people who work are crushed to death." Chen Xi spread his hands and said helplessly, "And the words of businessmen will naturally be counted in the group of people who are out of production, which will naturally increase social pressure." ”
"That's not to suppress the merchants, Zichuan, you have made it very clear, we must limit the number of out-of-production!" Cao Cao immediately spoke.
"However, this is impossible, every profession actually has its own necessity, such as us, and then for example, the soldier, our meaning is to adjust the macro upward, so that the society is more stable forward, the meaning of the soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, maintain social stability, officials, officials are to solve local affairs, maintain local harmony and stability." Chen Xi shook his head slightly and said.
"The essence of business is actually circulation and regulation, and its mercenary is people, not business, so this profession is a must." Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao solemnly.
"Thirty people to raise one person has reached the limit, one more person is afraid that this structure is not far from collapsing, this is still above the normal level, once there is a famine, I now somewhat understand why the troubled times will appear." Liu Bei said helplessly.
"No, in fact, it is not a fixed thirty people to support one person, nor is it a fixed country that will die even if it is warlike, there is an extended chain in it." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
"Whether it's Hanmou's increase in grain production, or a lot of long-term planning I've done, it's essentially improving this upper line, according to the current situation, in fact, excluding my influence on celestial phenomena, this number should have increased to about seven points." Chen Xi said with a little conceit, the increase in the grain production of cookies has increased this number by about one and a half points.
This is also the reason why it is nonsense to say that the old man Yuan went to ancient times, relying on farm fertilizer, with a yield of 300 catties per mu, and most emperors could kneel down and call their fathers.
"Seven points?" Liu Bei and Cao Cao looked at each other.
"Let's put it this way, the extra three points, according to the current population, can conscript one million, and it will not shake the foundation of the country, so it doesn't matter if there are more than 70,000 or 80,000 merchants, and these 70,000 or 80,000 businessmen are still very meaningful." Chen Xi estimated that Cao Cao and Liu Bei didn't know what the three points meant at all, so they explained slightly.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao were really shocked this time, although they didn't have this concept before, this time Chen Xi talked about it, and they immediately understood a lot of things.
"However, I am still useful for the number of movable workers in these three points, so I definitely can't use all of them for conscription, and I have to rely on these three points to find a way to increase the proportion of the population that can be out of work even more." Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders and said.
This is also an important reason why the further forward he goes, the smaller Chen Xi's actions are, because if he does something a little, it may be because there are too many people who use it, which will lead to problems in all aspects of grain production in the coming year, which will affect the long-term development.
"Hey, hey, Cao Gong, don't think about dividing this point, although this point is the average point of the entire Han Dynasty, but it is completely different in various places, anyway, I bet you will definitely not be able to calculate it." Chen Xi saw Cao Cao's eyes glowing, and he knew what Cao Cao wanted to do.
"Ahem, ahem." Cao Cao coughed twice with a little embarrassment, he really wanted to draw people quickly, but he was debunked by Chen Xi.
"Actually, the captives of the Hu people can be close to half a point." Chen Xi roughly calculated and spoke.
Although there are a lot of Zahu's captives, this group of people also has to eat, but for some reason, the bottom line is different, and the algorithm is not the same, and it is estimated that it is equivalent to half a point, to be honest, this algorithm is already regarded as Chen Xi's bottomless exploitation, and if it is ruthless, it is estimated that it will affect the use time.
"In short, except for about one of these points that are ready to be used to expand the army, the others have a fixed purpose, I have saved up for a long time, you must know that some of the points will be automatically used by the people due to social changes, in fact, there are so many in my hands." Chen Xi also said helplessly.
Although Chen Xi can rely on this fruit to promote social change faster, the problem is that at the same time as social change, there are people from all walks of life who unconsciously pick the fruit, and this kind of thing cannot be avoided at all.
It should even be said that those people picking this fruit is the correct result of the spontaneous operation of the internal driving force at the time of social change, and Chen Xi's approach is completely relying on foresight, when this invisible hand has not yet been operational, to replace the other party's responsibilities and move forward faster.
To be honest, if this is not the advantage of the lower reaches of history, eight out of ten people who play like this are kneeling, and the remaining two may be successful, and the internal will definitely leave a large number of hidden dangers because it does not conform to the normal procedures of social development, and its representatives, hehe......
The biggest weakness of leapfrog progress is this, speaking of the feudal system, the proportion of off-production is ten points, and the proportion of off-production of ten points, if the accumulation is enough, it is enough to enter the industrial revolution, and then liberate manpower, and the proportion of off-duty is directly increased to forty points!
Ten points and forty points, the same country, the degree of social prosperity can be seen by looking at these two ratios, and limited by the current situation, Chen Xi has survived the point to the extent of seven points now, and wants to leap to forty points, but unfortunately the current accumulation is still far behind.
"When you are beyond your power in government affairs?" Liu Bei looked incredulous.
"It's not that I can't do it, but in reality, it doesn't make much sense to tie it all into my hands, after all, those who can take advantage of the situation are smart people. There is no need to be so demanding, the success of this group of people is good for society. Chen Xi shook his head and said.
In fact, Chen Xi thinks that it is enough to be able to transfer the out-of-production people at that time, and the remaining part is used by the people, and the successful people in the creation society have jumped from ordinary people to rich people, which is actually of great positive significance.
By the way, it can also prove that after he Chen Xi came to power, the people did mix better, and the power of realistic examples is conducive to social stability.
"I wonder, if you really want to do it, can you really be restrained?" Liu Bei looked like this.
"Alas, if you think so, I can't do anything, generally speaking, it's not impossible to do it, it's that it does more harm than good, let's generally focus on maximizing benefits." Chen Xi spread his hands and said, "However, the maximization of general interests is not the best choice, so you can only take both." ”
"That, Zichuan, let's take a look, generally you encounter the kind of situation you said, how to deal with it?" Liu Bei asked with a little curiosity.
"If you're not in a hurry, if you're not in a hurry, study it, and if you're in a hurry, you can rely on your feelings, generally speaking, the second one is biased, but it's not too outrageous, of course, it is said that someone can choose the best answer by intuition." Chen Xi pursed his lips and said.
Cao Cao heard that the image of Zhong Xuan had risen in his mind, but unfortunately Zhong Xuan has not been able to work hard, although it is also quite Cao Cao, but to be honest, Zhong Xuan may not really work hard.
