Chapter 289: Heavenly Reckoning (Part 4)

"Hmm." Liu Ji didn't breathe evenly, the difference was not suffocated to death, his chest rose and fell for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "The chief manager knows that no matter how big the pot is, it is limited after all, and human desires are endless." ”

Zhu Chongjiu shook his head, full of confidence, "Then change to a bigger pot, keep changing, it's really not good, just open the lid of the pot, you pour it out here, I will continue it over there, look at your belly, or I will continue the water quickly." ”

"Hmm." Liu Ji snorted again, his eyes straight.

"Poof." The tea in Shi Nai'an's mouth only had time to swallow half of it, and all the others were sprayed on the placket of his clothes, and then looked at the previous righteous indignation and Song Ke, the slightest anger on his face was gone, looking at Liu Ji who was stunned, he was overjoyed.

Zhu Chongjiu's analogy just now was too vivid, and the people here couldn't pretend not to understand, Liu Ji thought that the Huaiyang system of the exhibition was weak in succession, the premise was that the wealth of the world was fixed, Zhu Chongjiu "ate" one more bite here, and other places would naturally eat less, and if Zhu Chongjiu moved all the wealth of the world back to Yangzhou, the wealth of the whole world would be completely exhausted, and at that time, the sudden rise of the Huaiyang system would also be overturned in an instant because of the unsustainable wealth.

But Zhu Chongjiu's sentence of changing the big pot solves all the troubles, if the current area controlled by the red scarves in the world is compared to a kettle, the water in this pot is limited, and compared with the area controlled by the red turban army, the Great Yuan Empire is undoubtedly a bigger kettle.

As for the last two sentences, it is obvious that both sides are arguing with strong words, Liu Ji stubbornly believes that the wealth of the entire Great Yuan is also limited, and it is not enough for the Huaiyang system to loot in any case, and Zhu Chongjiu directly told him that if the Great Yuan Dynasty is not big enough, I will continue to expand the territory outward, keep expanding, and expand until the demand is met, if it cannot be satisfied, I will continue to expand, using the cannon as a plow, endlessly.

In fact, the scholars of this era, even including a generation of famous ministers Zhu Sheng and Li Shanchang, have a very shallow level of understanding of economics. They have always been indoctrinated that "no business, no traitors" and "agriculture is the foundation", so they naturally reject the participation of the government in industrial and commercial activities, believing that it is competing with the people for profit.

Therefore, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty in history, the national financial revenue has always been a very sad figure, not only compared with the "I Qing Dynasty" who completely handed over the customs to foreign countries after a few hundred years, but even the Southern Song Dynasty, which had been extinct for more than 70 years and only half of the remnants of the mountains and rivers in its hands.

In other words, it is precisely because of the shortage of economic knowledge in Liu Ji, Li Shanchang and others that led to the congenital deficiency of the Ming Dynasty's national fiscal revenue, and the financial system in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, no matter how it was reformed, could not get out of the trap of the agricultural economy, and even in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, in the case of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's frequent knocks, there was still no courage and ability to open up financial resources from the emerging foreign trade and industrial and commercial fields. He just blindly levied taxes from the peasants, and in the end, Li Zicheng rose up, and the whole of China fell into darkness again

With the shortest of himself and the longest of hitting others, this round, Liu Ji lost at all, how did he know that another soul in Zhu Chongjiu's body, through the Internet era, the breadth of knowledge he was exposed to during his lifetime was far from comparable to that of a scholar in the mid-fourteenth century, especially in economics, from the armed plundering of Britain in the early stage of capitalism, to the dumping of global commodities in the United States in the later stage of capitalism, and then to a rabbit sweeping the world with cheap clothes for two dollars a piece, It is simply the most intuitive and vivid economics textbook, which is instilled every day, even if it is a piece of rotten wood, it has already been carved into Zhao Gongming, how is it possible, and it will be fooled by Liu Ji's simple small peasant economic theory.

"The big pot is here, the big manager, this is the largest copper kettle in the store, you always use the tea slowly, if the hot water is not enough, the small one will be renewed for you at any time." Just when everyone carefully tasted what Zhu Chongjiu was referring to, the shopkeeper ran up in a daze, and lifted a white copper kettle the size of a bucket to the table with both arms.

"Hahahahaha." This knife was just right, and everyone suddenly couldn't hold it back anymore, and they laughed one by one.

"This, this" The clever shopkeeper didn't know what he was saying wrong, and tried to carry the kettle, his face red and red.

"It's none of your business, hurry down and prepare the dishes." Zhu Chongjiu was afraid that he would burn himself by mistake, so he quickly took the kettle with one hand and gently placed it on the table.

"Hey, hey, the boss, you, you use it slowly, the fish, the fish will be good in a moment, and the small one will be brought to you, and it will be brought to you." The shopkeeper was like being amnestied, and ran away with his head in his arms.

After such a beating, Liu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, dressed up, and said: "The chief manager can know that although the country is strong, it will die if it is warlike. ”

"This sentence comes from the "Sima Law". Since marrying a scholar, Zhu Chongjiu's ancient literary attainments have risen like bamboo joints, and he doesn't want to think about it, so he calmly interfaces, "The latter sentence is, although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous, the world is peaceful, the world is Dakai, the spring is full of autumn, the princes are in the spring and the autumn is in the army, so I don't forget to fight." ”

"Poof." Lu Kun laughed, quickly lowered his head, and slowly tasted tea, his old man's eyes were vicious, this grandson-in-law picked it, it was so accurate that it couldn't be compared, although he looked a little rougher, but seriously, even Liu Ji, a talented man who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River, met him, and he was tied to his hands and feet, and he couldn't take advantage of it at all.

"The general manager has a talent that he never forgets, and Liu admires it." Liu Bowen was beaten back upside down in two moves in a row, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, arched his hand, and praised with a wry smile.

"Mr. is overrated, Zhu happened to read this sentence, so when he heard Mr. mention it, he immediately thought about it." Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and made a modest gesture, but in the next sentence, he showed a frivolous attitude, "But Zhu has always thought that it is better to believe in books than to have no books, Mr. thinks so." ”

"Yasheng's words naturally have their reason." Liu Bowen was slightly stunned again, and responded with some difficulty, Zhu Chongjiu's words just now, from Mencius, and in the late Southern Song Dynasty, it was the era when Mencius's learning was greatly respected by Confucians, as a generation of celebrities, he couldn't say that he hadn't read Mencius, nor could he say that Mencius's words were wrong, however, the following text of "Believe in the book, it's better to have no book" is "I am in "Wucheng", take two or three strategies, benevolence is invincible in the world, so that benevolence is not benevolent, and what a bloody pestle. ”

In other words, Mencius and his old man believed that even if the war was fought cruelly, its justice was unquestionable, which corresponded to the sentence quoted by Liu Ji earlier, "Although the country is big, the warlike will perish", which made him even more uncomfortable than hitting himself in the mouth.

However, if Liu Ji was persuaded so easily, it would not be Hou Zhuge who helped Zhu Yuanzhang create the Ming Dynasty, took a few deep breaths, regained his spirits, and asked loudly, "The chief manager can know how to be benevolent." ”

Zhu Chongjiu didn't answer directly, he pondered for a moment, and asked with a smile, "King Wu, is it polite." ”

"The Grand Governor is mighty." Song Ke slapped the table hard and cheered loudly, Confucius said, ' Self-denial and revenge for benevolence', literally speaking, is to restrain the selfish desires in the heart, follow the etiquette of the Great Zhou, so according to this standard, Zhu Chongjiu is now using the selfish desires in people's hearts everywhere, obviously violating a benevolent word, its war, naturally lost justice, and Zhu Chongjiu directly skipped this question, with the specific behavior of King Wu to respond, it is equivalent to the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker, since the benevolent person wants to deny himself, I follow the example of King Wu of Zhou to crusade against Shang, is the greatest observance of the Zhou rites, why do you say that I did not do it right, 。

Not only did Song Ke completely fall to Zhu Chongjiu alone, he kept sitting next to him, trying to take advantage of Liu Bowen's difficulty, and carefully examining Zhu Chongjiu's Zhang Yi, who was also excited at the moment, "This Zhu Fozi, who taught him, saying that he has never read, but he can always go toe-to-toe with Liu Ji, saying that he is a scholar, but his speech and demeanor are very vulgar, he is simply half literati, half rough embryo, a demon who is spliced together, and his whole body is full of weirdness." ”

Just when he was puzzled, he heard Liu Ji's tone change suddenly, and said loudly: "What the chief manager is doing at the moment, is benevolent." ”

"Berwyn, not Manager Zhu, 600,000 fathers and elders in Yangzhou, go to winter and dry bones." Zhang Yi couldn't listen to it anymore, cleared his throat, and took the initiative to defend Zhu Chongjiu.

This is a fact that no one can deny, even if you Liu Ji no longer approve of Huaiyang's policy strategy, you can't close your eyes and tell nonsense, and plant Zhu Fozi with a cruel and unkind charge, otherwise, not only will the 600,000 people in Yangzhou not agree, but even Zhang Someone, an outsider, will not be able to agree.

Then Zhu Chongjiu, but he was not very appreciative, first waved his hand lightly, motioned for Zhang Yi to sit down and drink tea, and then sighed lowly, and responded with a smile, "Brother Sanyi doesn't have to be angry, Mr. Qingtian is right, since Zhu started the army, the number of people killed by his own hands is hundreds, and in the three places of Huaiyang and Gaoyou, there are tens of thousands of people who died because of Zhu, so he definitely did not dare to claim benevolence." ”

After a slight pause, his voice suddenly turned higher, "And the people of the three places, those who were born because of Zhu, are hundreds of thousands, Zhu doesn't know whether he is benevolent or not, but Zhu knows that in this last world, Zhu will do something and not do something." ”

Doing something, not doing something, this is his life creed.

Liu Ji only saw the appearance, and saw the emerging industry and commerce in the Huaiyang area, like a black hole, constantly attracting wealth from all over the world, but Zhu Chongjiu knew that this was just the beginning, when the capital passed the embryonic period, its absorption of wealth will be more active and crazy.

Indeed, this qiē is indeed predatory in nature, because capital comes to time, from head to toe, and every pore is dripping with blood and filth.

Britain's wealth comes from the bloody conquest and looting of overseas colonies.

Even in the 21st century, in the era in which Zhu Dapeng lived, every foreign war she fought had an obvious economic purpose, either to dump goods or to plunder resources.

However, they are all plundering others, not their own kindred.

Zhu Chongjiu does not have the leadership charm of "the tiger body is a while, and the heroes of the world will bow down", nor does he have the wisdom aura of "with a roll of his eyes, everyone within a radius of twenty miles will automatically become idiots", so he can only use the simplest and most clumsy way.
