Hearing Shi Bufan say that "the emperor had already cut off his head", it immediately made Dugu Daxue break out in a cold sweat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Because in fact, Dugu Daxue has always been very worried, very worried that Shi Bufan will be cut off by the emperor sooner or later. Shi Bufan did this, in fact, it was completely walking a tightrope, because Shi Bufan did not have much background behind him, and there was no real power group to support him, so he would definitely be completely dependent on the emperor.

But according to common sense, since Shi Bufan depends on the emperor, it is natural to try to please the emperor to gain the emperor's appreciation and then be promoted. But Shi Bufan didn't do this, and actually chose to take the initiative to offend the emperor and blackmail the emperor Li Shimin, so Li Shimin was not annoyed. Dugu Daxue has always been very worried that Shi Bufan will be cut off by the emperor if he does this.

But Shi Bufan now took the initiative to admit that if he was under certain conditions, he would also be cut off by the emperor, which made Dugu Daxue even more frightened. Dugu Daxue is already tied to Shi Bufan, although Dugu Daxue and Shi Bufan have some "friction", but it is just a quarrel between husband and wife, and the bedside is noisy. But once Shi Bufan is unlucky, then Dugu Daxue, who is an "accessory" of Shi Bufan, will also be unlucky.

"Husband, it's too dangerous for you to do this, or ......" Dugu Daxue hurriedly said, but was stopped by Shi Bufan.

"Daxue, I have confidence, the emperor can't do without me, so he doesn't dare to kill me. At least until my use value is squeezed out, he can't do anything to me. You and I are very relieved this year, if I don't even have this confidence, then I will resign immediately. ”

"You know, I'm good at calculations, and if I couldn't even do that, would I still be like that? I'm not going to fight a battle I'm not sure about, so I'm not going to be stupid enough to do something stupid. ”

But Dugu Daxue also emphasized: "Husband, the emperor is a king after all, and he has a lot of power!" Maybe you two need to raise money now, but if the world is really peaceful one day, what will you do? ”

"The emperor needs me to raise money, hehe, he will definitely need me more in the future. Even if he doesn't need me to raise money, I have a way to keep him from me. Because I can save Datang and save Datang from being destroyed, do you think he can leave me? Shi Bufan asked.

"How is this possible? Save Datang, husband, you don't have a fever, right? Dugu Daxue wondered.

Shi Bufan said again: "Daxue, if I say that Datang is actually in danger, do you believe it?" ”

"This is impossible, my Datang is now getting richer and richer, and even when I Datang includes the emperor, it is only eleven years. But now that troops have just been sent to recruit Liang Shidu, in fact, even the world has not been completely unified. I've never seen a dynasty die so quickly. Even according to the history of the past, this time should be the time of increasing prosperity. What's more, now that the grain output is getting higher and higher, and even the two families have begun to decline, isn't this the people's happiness getting happier? Dugu Daxue asked.

Shi Bufan asked rhetorically: "Are you subconsciously judging based on past experience?" ”

"Isn't it?" Dugu Daxue asked.

"Big mistake! Do you remember what I said earlier, the progress of the productive forces, which caused deflation, which inevitably led to a fall in prices, and finally an unstable situation? Shi Bufan asked.

"This, it seems that prices are falling, the people are dissatisfied, and at most there is some turmoil. You once said that the Tang Dynasty might perish in the prosperous era, but I don't believe this. Even the ministers of the court would not believe it, it stands to reason that the more products there are, the safer they will be! Dugu Daxue asked.

Shi Bufan snorted coldly: "Hmph, past experience? But now it's different, and now the productivity has been matured by me in advance. Even various patents have increased the production speed a lot. Do you know? From what I've got, my co-op model has started to expand rapidly. Now that the cooperative approach has been adopted, it has quickly gotten rid of the large amount of human resources wasted in the past. Now the same area of land is cultivated, and horse farming is used in the Central Plains, coupled with the stimulation of the patent law, so that the people are willing to come up with their own farming techniques for everyone to use. There are even people who are engaged in special research on increasing agricultural output, and grain output is now on the rise. Coupled with the assembly line approach, it took us almost a few years, and it would take millennia to develop the productivity achieved by the normal method. ”

"Now we can produce more than 120 percent of the food we used to do with less than 30 percent of our population. According to my division of labor, there will be a group of people who will be transferred to work in place of forced labor for everyone and get income. But as more and more workers become more skilled, there is no need for so much. In fact, there are already many workers who have actually left the cooperatives to form their own construction teams and so on. “

"Merchants have begun to absorb a large amount of surplus labor, and the common people have become richer in their families, and the era of the commodity economy is ready to come. Recently, I have seen the municipal tax of the imperial court, and the municipal tax of the imperial court is rising steadily, and now the municipal tax of one month has reached the past six months, and even this number is still snowballing. It shows that the people have money and want more things. In the past, they just wanted to be fed, but now they want more. ”

But Dugu Daxue took it for granted and asked, "Isn't this good?" “

"Of course, on the surface, it's good, but you don't know what's going on. Agri-food is rising, which will inevitably lead to more people disengaging from agricultural production and creating unemployment. Even the productivity of industry and commerce, with the maturity of the assembly line, is actually unable to meet the employment needs of so many people. At that time, I am afraid that with the progress of the productive forces, at least one-third of the country's population will be completely unemployed and have no income. Because the organization of the assembly line is still gradually improving by the businessmen themselves, and even the agricultural grain is still expanding. At the same time, however, many people will lose their jobs because of the sudden increase in productivity. “

"Unemployed, do you know what it means? Don't tell me that those rich people, those who have jobs themselves, will take the initiative to distribute those wealth to ordinary unemployed people, so that they can get something for nothing. At that time, one-third of the people in the country will be unemployed, and they will be extremely dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty, so what do you say will happen to them in the end? ”

Shi Bufan's words immediately made Dugu Daxue's forehead full of fragrant sweat. If it is really as Shi Bufan said, one-third of the population is unemployed, but the social wealth cannot effectively establish a mobility mechanism, then the contradiction of such a third of the unemployed population will suddenly be transferred to the Tang Dynasty, how will the Tang Dynasty Court face it at that time?

Once a third is dissatisfied with the imperial court, the consequences will inevitably be rebellion. It was the first time that Dugu Daxue really understood that once there is too much food and the material production capacity is too strong, it will eventually cause a huge number of people to lose their jobs.

If the population is unemployed, then they will first transfer this contradiction to the imperial court, so that the imperial court will bear the brunt.

"How? Heavy snow, how do you say this should be solved according to the traditional method in the past? Is it for the emperor to decree the abolition of the patent bill and then the abolition of all kinds of new technologies? Could it be that the emperor decreed that new technologies should not be used? Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Daxue smiled bitterly and said: "Impossible, even if the imperial court prohibits the use of new production methods, it can't help it." ”

"That's right, even if the emperor decrees a ban on the use of new technologies, it is actually useless. I think that since your technology has been developed, you can't help it. Even if it is reluctantly forbidden, it will end up being used secretly by businessmen. Three hundred percent of the profit is enough for the businessman to risk going to the gallows. The profit of the new technology, not to mention 300 percent, is enough for them to risk going to the gallows. ”

"So it's impossible for the emperor to decree a ban on the use of new technologies. But how to solve the employment needs of so many people? If it is not solved, then Datang will collapse in the heyday of cooking oil in this blazing fire. Ever since I opened the Pandora's box of productivity, productivity has snowballed. Perhaps in just ten years, the path of the past thousand years will be completed. ”

However, the progress of the productive forces does not bring about the perpetuation of the dynasty, but the urging of the dynasty. If these problems are not dealt with well, the people will also rebel; And it was a rebellion at a time when supplies were absolutely abundant and absolutely at its peak. You say, can the emperor handle this relationship well? Will he be able to handle the relationship? ”

"Up and down the court, who can handle this relationship well?" 、

Shi Bufan asked these questions directly, but Dugu Daxue couldn't answer any of them. Because these things are things that have not been recorded in Chinese history books for so many years, and there is no experience at all. This kind of thing related to social transformation is not recorded in the history books of any feudal dynasty in the past.

Dugu Daxue can be sure that no one in Datang, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui or even Li Shimin, can solve this problem. I'm afraid no one can solve this problem, because a dynasty falls at its peak, this is a joke. The people rebelled when the materials were at their richest, and this is also a miracle. If it weren't for the fact that these words came from her husband's mouth, then Dugu Daxue wouldn't believe this fact at all.

Dugu Daxue has already felt that Datang has gone to another road, and has gone to another historical road. In the past, the feudal dynasties were chaotic and ruled, but there were always rules to be found. But now there is no law at all, and the "historical experience" of the past is actually useless at all.

Dugu Daxue finally recognized what Shi Bufan said, the Tang Dynasty had actually reached the most dangerous time, and Shi Bufan released the monster of productivity. But no one in Datang could subdue this monster, and he didn't even know anything about this monster, not at all.

You don't even know what your enemy looks like or what nature it is, so how can you talk about defeating it? You may only be able to fall into an extremely passive move, but as long as you make a faint move, the fall of the Tang Dynasty is inevitable. The monster of "productivity" has been released and has begun to devour the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.

But apart from Shi Bufan, no one knows what this monster looks like and how to subdue this monster that is enough to devour a dynasty.

"Who will be able to subdue him? Who can subdue him? Dugu Daxue said with a wry smile.

Shi Bufan immediately said firmly: "I can, because this monster was raised by me and released by me, and I can subdue him." Because, I am now raising the self-respect of the 'thief'. Because the 'thief' I raised is not a thief in the ordinary sense, but this monster called 'productivity'. I can subdue him, I raise him, and as long as the crisis of productivity is not resolved, the emperor will never dare to cut off my head. ”

"I raise this 'monster', that is actually my self-respect for raising thieves, as long as the social transformation brought about by the productive forces can not be completed, then the emperor you dare not do anything to me, and even burn incense to pray for me to live a long life! Do you know what is self-respect? I am raising self-respect from the general trend of the world and the general trend of the whole history, not raising ordinary 'thieves'. Because only I know how to subdue this gluttonous beast called 'productivity', the emperor will never dare to kill me. ”

"I can take the opportunity to ask for more power and status, and the emperor is holding me without any means. The general trend of history is mighty, and the emperor can't stop it. These things are all things that I didn't have any experience in the past books, so he can't hold me at all, and he has to rely on me completely. Otherwise, Datang may collapse within a hundred years, or even without a hundred years. ”

"I'm a thief with self-respect, what can the emperor do to me? I still know a little about an emperor like him. In order to keep the family, he will do whatever it takes. As long as I don't rebel, then he can basically endure it. I think you can tolerate anything in the face of the destruction of the country. ”

"As I said, the collapse of the country is the main contradiction, and the contradiction between him and me can only become a secondary contradiction. He must first resolve the main contradiction, and then he will be able to resolve the secondary contradiction with me. As long as the main contradiction exists, then he will definitely not have the courage to solve the secondary contradiction with me. ”

"So even though I have the gluttonous beast of 'productivity', he can't do anything about me. This is my strength, only I can subdue this gluttonous beast, and no one else can subdue it. Therefore, the emperor can only endure it, and dare not do anything to me, even if he has more powerful means than me and has more power than me, but he has no way to subdue me. ”
