There are good and bad sides to everything!

No matter what kind of policies and plans, as a formulator, we must take into account all aspects as much as possible, and when discussing the court, we must not only discuss the good side, but also prepare for the bad side. Nothing is perfect.

Xue Lang's habit, when considering things, often considers both good and bad aspects at the same time, and the so-called two powers harm each other, whichever is less. A lot of times, there aren't that many opportunities for you to make corrections, and if you miss the opportunity, you miss it. Xue Lang has become accustomed to this way of thinking, trying to be as rational and objective as possible.

There are all well-educated people here, and they understand Xue Lang's overcapacity statement after listening to it for a while. King Qin said: "Xue Jungong's overcapacity is quite exquisitely described. ”

Xue Lang arched his hand towards King Qin, which was regarded as a thanks. Xue Lang said: "In fact, there is no need to worry about the so-called overcapacity. I wonder if you have paid attention to the economic operation mode of our dynasty? ”

"The economic model? Why? ”

This is what Li Yuan asked. Xue Lang silently ached, thought about it, and said: "It is the overall characteristic of my economic operation. ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Xue Qing continues." ”

"Whoa."

Xue Lang said: "The economic operation of our dynasty, it can be said that from ancient times to the present, there are several general characteristics that have not changed, which can be attributed to the mode of operation. ”

Everyone was a little confused for a while, and it was obvious that no one had paid attention to this issue. Xue Lang continued: "The economic operation of our dynasty, generally speaking, can be called a small-scale peasant economy, and there are three major characteristics. First, dispersion; second, closure; Third, self-sufficiency. ”

Everyone still looked confused, and yes, in ancient times, there were almost no people who specialized in the study of economics, and there were few people who naturally understood. Li Gang said: "Self-sufficiency can still be understood, where does dispersion and closure come from? The old man doesn't know the meaning, please ask Youyang to solve his doubts. ”

Xue Lang said: "The so-called dispersion and closure can actually be said together. It can be said that since ancient times, the production and cultivation of our dynasty have been dominated by families, with men and women weaving, self-cultivation and self-sufficiency, which are both scattered and closed, and there is almost no circulation of goods. ”

The prince asked in confusion: "Xue Jungong, is this bad?" Men and women weave, each with their own duties, can they live and work in peace and contentment, and the country and the people are safe? ”

The prince asked this question well, and from the perspective of a ruler, he naturally hoped that the people would have something to do. If there is something to do, there will be output, and if there is output, you can fill your stomach. If everyone is busy, there will be no time to make trouble, and the society will be stable, and for the ruler, stability is naturally the most important.

Xue Lang said: "Prince, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, this is just the characteristics of our economy, the so-called existence is reasonable, and these characteristics can exist widely, which means that they are recognized and accepted by the society, the times, and the people, and are appropriate." The so-called general trend of the world, taking advantage of the trend, since it is accepted by the times and the people, it is the trend. If the court needs to follow the trend, then the country and the people will be safe, if it goes against the trend, it will not give people a way to live, this is going to be a big thing! ”

Xue Lang said it in an easy-to-understand manner, and the prince was not completely straw, he understood it as soon as he heard it, and said politely: "Built and taught, thank you Xue Jungong." ”

Xue Lang hurriedly returned the salute: "The prince is polite." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Xue Qing, please continue to solve your doubts." ”

"Whoa."

Xue Lang continued: "Throughout the dynasties, the people's living needs, clothing, food, housing and transportation are almost all self-sufficient. Except for salt, which is needed by everyone and cannot be produced by themselves, so it is circulated throughout the country, even gold, silver, and silk are rarely circulated in some rural areas, but are mostly traded in barter. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought about it again, and it was really so. In fact, there are not many silver and copper in China, and the reason why there has been no silver and copper crisis in the past dynasties is actually a big reason for private transactions, in addition to silver and copper, which are mostly replaced by silk silk. Silk cloth can also be used as money.

Xue Lang saw that everyone had figured it out, so he continued: "According to such an economic operation model, in fact, there is no need to worry about overcapacity. First, the family-based model of production limits output; Secondly, the closed characteristic leads to the fact that there are no circulation channels, and there is no need for circulation, since there is no need, there will be no excess output, and it is certain that meeting one's own needs is the first thing, and there will not be too much surplus; Finally, because of dispersion, even if every household has a little surplus, it is not a big problem, because it does not form a scale, as long as it does not form a scale, it will not flood, and there is no danger of overcapacity. Therefore, the worries of the princes can be completely put down, and there is no need to worry about them. ”

Xue Lang finished speaking and looked at everyone calmly.

"Good!"

Li Yuan took the lead in praising and the ministers ...... Including the prince, they all high-fived Xue Lang to express their appreciation for Xue Lang's wonderful speech. Xue Lang, as a latecomer, naturally could only bow down to express his gratitude and support.

King Qin, who had been listening silently and thinking quietly, said at this time: "Listening to Xue Jungong's words today, the people of the world have an understanding of the words of 'Shinong Industry and Commerce'. If you follow Xue Jungong's words, you don't need to pay too much attention to the problems of businessmen as if you were facing a great enemy? ”

When he asked this, not only Xue Lang secretly applauded, but even a few old ministers, the sage Li Yuan, couldn't help but look at King Qin a few more times. King Qin's understanding, this ability to draw inferences from one another, this is really innate, others can't envy it, and they can't be jealous.

Li Jiancheng is not a straw bag, but compared to King Qin's wisdom, his qualifications are too ordinary, this is the gap between geniuses and mortals, and it cannot be changed by human beings. Xue Lang couldn't help but want to sympathize with him. However, obviously not, I can only sigh silently in my heart, poor prince.

Xue Lang said: "The so-called Shinong industry and commerce are actually interdependent and interdependent. If we only talk about the division of labor, regardless of anything else, agriculture, industry, and commerce can actually be regarded as producers, and taxis are managers. Among them, agriculture is the most basic producer, producing basic materials, then processing into commodities, and finally merchants promoting the circulation of commodities. The so-called need will exist, existence is reasonable, Shinong industry and commerce are a link in the operation of society, the existence of businessmen, do not need to be like a great enemy. Or that sentence, if people want to survive, food, clothing, housing and transportation are fundamental, the existence of businessmen must have surplus output, if you can't even eat your stomach, how to be a businessman? It's just that the imperial court, as a manager, is still unable to guarantee food and clothing, and the policy is inclined to farming, and the policy of persuading farmers is the foundation of the country. ”

When King Qin heard this, his eyes were bright, and he thanked Xue Lang and said, "Thank you Xue Jungong for your advice, and the people of the world will be taught." ”

Li Yuan also listened thoughtfully, touched his beard and said: "What Xue Qing said today, some of the truths have been discussed by erudite people in the past, but none of them are as simple and easy to understand as Xue Qing today, Xue Qing is talented, and Pingyang is meritorious!" ”

This evaluation is quite high, Xue Lang said modestly: "The saint has a good reputation. Since King Qin asked the merchant a question, in fact, Wei Chen still has a few words to say. ”

Li Yuan glanced at him with interest and said, "Xue Qing's family, let's talk about it." ”
