Zhao Hongxing, who had received an advanced basic education in his previous life and studied carefully, had a deep understanding of this historical story told by Master Fu.

At that time, this otherworldly continent had just been freed from a great war, and basically all the countries that still existed were in ruins, and the productive forces at this time could not cope with the population explosion after the restoration of peace.

At that time, the largest freight organization on the mainland became the largest consortium in the mainland after making a fortune in the war. The consortium, which was still not satisfied with this, predicted that there would be a shortage of various materials on the mainland, and began to buy grain, metals, minerals, and forest farms at high prices from many countries that lacked money to rebuild.

The frenzied hoarding behavior of the consortium caused the rapid occurrence of material shortages. Those countries that exchanged supplies for money soon found that no matter how much money there was, it was useless, because money could not be eaten. At this time, the consortium took the opportunity to start selling these materials at a price dozens of times higher than the purchase price.

Now it's good, the money from selling materials before is simply not enough to buy back one-tenth of what was sold before. The consortium has also torn off its mask of disguise - do you want supplies? Yes, but the country's currency and banking organization must be controlled by our consortium, and all the profits from production must be handed over to the consortium in proportion.

At this time, the deceived countries have seen the face of this consortium clearly. But most of them can't do anything, after all, the economic lifeline of the entire country is in the hands of the consortium, and all the development of the country can only be decided by this consortium.

It was not that he did not want to try it with this consortium, and the king of a small country with a violent temper destroyed all the bases of this consortium in his country, and recovered a lot of materials and industries. Then, citing a threat to its own safety, the consortium began to sell supplies like no one. Other countries that were forced to be anxious have criticized the country that looted the consortium, and what people didn't expect was that whoever scolded more harshly, the consortium would sell a little material to whom.

In the end, the country was wiped out by the revolt of several neighboring countries......

It can be said that at that time, this consortium had unlimited scenery on the mainland, and only a few large countries and coalition governments could slowly recover without the interference of the consortium.

Yan Feng was not a big country at that time, and Yan Feng, who stubbornly survived the war, was beaten and reduced a lot of population at that time. However, Yan Feng had a special strategy during the war, that is, no peasant was allowed to abandon his field, no matter how many kinds of crops were planted, in short, the field must be harvested. And if the total amount of grain harvested in wartime and peacetime can be the same, then all the farmers in this village will be rewarded according to the military industry, and may even be promoted to a knighthood.

This order was effective not only in agriculture, but also in the mining industry, animal husbandry, and so on. This made Yan Feng not abandon the foundation because of the war, when the men of the main labor force went out to fight, many women and children took up the burden of production, which made Yan Feng even in the case of a shrinking population, but also accumulated enough materials for future recovery.

Therefore, the reigning emperor of Yanfeng ignored the request of this consortium to purchase materials at a high price. As soon as the senior management of the consortium saw that there were still people who dared to ignore them, they began to encourage the small countries around Yanfeng to ask Yanfeng to buy so-called "emergency supplies". Emperor Yanfeng did sell a large amount of supplies to the surrounding area at first, but soon realized that the situation was not right. With the support of the consortium, these neighboring countries are asking Yan Feng for unlimited purchases, and the amount they want to buy does not seem to be at all like an emergency use.

After Emperor Yanbong ordered the refusal to sell large quantities of supplies, the consortium instigated these neighboring countries to blockade all trade routes with Yanbong, depriving Yanbong of a normal export market.

At this time, Yanfeng had almost recovered in agriculture and manufacturing, and a certain amount of foreign trade could be carried out on the premise of meeting the living needs of the domestic people. However, after the consortium blocked the road for trade exports, a considerable amount of materials were accumulated in Yanfeng, and the domestic market economy almost collapsed.

At that time, the second brother of Emperor Yanfeng, the prince who was mainly in charge of money, immediately made a move. The state will purchase all the goods that have accumulated too much at market prices, and at the same time, the whole country will begin to plan the economy -- that is, there is a prescribed quantity for what you want to buy, how much you want to buy, how much you want to make, how much you want to sell, and how much you want to sell.

This is not a long-term solution, but it is the best way to deal with the blockade of this consortium in the short term. In order to break the predicament, the Yanfeng royal family decided to start promoting technology to neighboring countries after research.

The war gave birth to many new technologies in Yanfeng, such as more convenient methods for cultivating land on a large scale, more efficient smelting techniques, and various more powerful weapons.

Most of these are technologies that can make a big difference to a country's development, especially at such junctures that require post-war reconstruction. With these technologies and a certain amount of financial support, these countries can slowly break away from the control of the consortium and regain control of the national economic system in their own hands.

Yan Feng has established contacts with more and more countries by means of promoting technology—do you want my technology? If you want to make a deal with me, my things are not only good and cheap, but also have more conscience than the consortium.

Soon, a large number of countries that had established ties with Yan Bong began to gradually break away from the control of the consortium. This made the consortium regard Yan Feng as a thorn in the flesh, and openly and secretly began to have armed friction with Yan Fengren, and began to sell ultra-low-cost materials to most countries, in a vain attempt to make these countries no longer trade with Yan Feng.

The consortium's strategy of lowering prices did sell a lot of things, but the countries that had finished buying supplies with the consortium still did not dissolve their trade relations with Yanbong. In fact, many of the technologies that Yanfeng has promoted on the mainland have benefited various countries a lot. In the case of being able to obtain technical support, they can carry out a certain amount of trade with Yanfeng, and they also want to purchase a large number of low-cost materials from the consortium, and many countries are preparing to buy and sell at both ends.

It doesn't matter where Yan Feng is here, I don't care where you buy anything, anyway, you just have dealings with me. But the consortium stopped doing it, and it didn't sell things well, and seeing that with the help of the Yanfeng royal family, more countries began to break away from their control, and in the end, the people of the consortium were finally forced to be anxious.

The consortium instigated some small countries that were still under their control, and used a lot of money and materials to raise an army, and wanted to fight to the death with Yan Feng.

However, less than a decade after the continent had just recovered from the flames of large-scale war, such a high-profile military mobilization by the consortium aroused the resentment of almost all countries and coalition governments.

And Yan Feng, on his side, also took the opportunity to put a certain big hat on the head of the consortium that "vainly tried to set off a war of misery again".

If there is still a big war, the countries on the mainland are united, organize a joint army, not only exterminate the few unlucky people who were instigated by the consortium, but also uproot the entire consortium from the mainland and wipe it out.

This span has a history of more than ten years, and it is easy to summarize, but there are many details that Zhao Hongxing finds very interesting. Of course, he doesn't understand the purpose of many of these decisions used to attack each other, but Zhao Hongxing can still do it if he listens to a lively and gives an opinion.

Zhao Hongxing, who listened to this story a little, began to talk eloquently after Master Fu asked questions. What microeconomic and macroeconomic, wartime economy and planned economy, what benefits of conducting trade, anyway, all the things that he heard from the news commentators in his previous life, as long as he did not forget, he all compiled them together and talked nonsense.

After saying this nonsense, Zhao Hongwei, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, came over and touched Zhao Hongxing's head with a smile.

"I think a lot, my sixth brother. Zhao Hongwei said.

"Hmm, the sixth son is really ...... That's a lot of ideas. Zhao Hongxing's nonsense made Master Fu stare at him in shock, not that Master Fu thought what he said was too good, but that he was too capable of speaking.

Although a lot of it sounds like useless nonsense...... But this is also much stronger than Le Aya, who is still confused.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, is there anything you want to say?" asked Master Fu anyway.

Le Aya moved her lips, and finally decided to tell the truth, "I'm sorry Master Fu, I don't understand this story very well. ”

That's right, that's right, that's how you should react at this age. Master Fu said in his heart, he was confused when he heard it, he asked questions little by little, and then answered questions little by little, this is the right way to tell a historical story, why did this sixth prince say more than he thought?

Zhao Hongwei was satisfied with Zhao Hongxing's performance, whether he was right or wrong, just dare to say it, when he listened to this historical story, he was also like Zhao Hongxing and talked nonsense excitedly, judging from the effect of stumbling at that time, it seems that it is not as good as Zhao Hongxing can say.

Zhao Hongxing's "self-hilarious" speech interrupted Fu Taishi's steps, but Zhao Hongwei sat in front and began to discuss with Fu Taishi about the content related to this period of history.

From here on, there was no content that Zhao Hongxing could understand, and Le Aya on the side, although her eyes looked in the direction of Fu Taishi and Zhao Hongwei, her unfocused eyes betrayed her inactive brain.

"Okay, it's almost noon, let's get here today first, let them go back first, right?" Zhao Hongwei suggested to Master Fu.

"Well, that's fine. Fu Taishi, who also wanted to do some "academic" discussions with Zhao Hongwei, also nodded and agreed.

After leaving the Qinxue Palace, Zhao Hongxing and Le Aya breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Hongxing wanted to calm down because he heard the story too well, while Le Aya sighed because he was defeated by Zhao Hongxing in today's performance.

When Le Aya listened to Master Fu talk about the Book of Heaven, she thought that Zhao Hongxing might be like her, and she didn't understand anything at all. But it was so unexpected, Zhao Hongxing seemed to understand, and he seemed to have said a lot of things he understood.

"In today's knowledge class, I admit that you won. Le Aya raised her chin and said unconvinced.

What is it that I won? Zhao Hongxing still hasn't understood what's going on.

"Let's see in the afternoon. Le Aya let out a cruel sentence.

"What?"

Zhao Hongxing stayed in place for a long time and didn't figure out what this little girl meant.
