In the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, these officials from the former Qing Dynasty and these generals from the New Tang Kingdom who are now here, anyway, if there is one, they are all a little confused.

Because just now, the Emperor of the New Tang Dynasty, who is now the Emperor of the Pacific Rim Empire, Li Mengyang, what he said ......

It's weird!

yes, who doesn't want to hear the truth?

If you, the emperor, want to say something false, then you can say it, we will all take it as true, true!

That's right, it's because everyone thinks that this statement is a bit problematic and not quite logical, that is, logical.

But this matter, in fact, I don't blame others, but it's not that Li Mengyang made a mistake, or deliberately, it should be said that this matter was thought of by Li Mengyang temporarily!

What's going on?

That is, these individuals present, all of them together, probably won't understand what Li Mengyang is about to say!

There is also one of the most critical things, that is, Li Mengyang quickly figured it out, that is, what he was about to say, not only did no one understand, but no matter what he said, there was no problem, that is, no matter whether he said it was true or false, the result would not change in any way!

So, what is this guy going to say?

I saw that Li Mengyang took a small stick, this thing is used to point the map, but at this time, it seems to have become his whip, and then this guy said.

"What I'm going to say, it's easy to say, it's hard to say. Simple, that is, in fact, all of you live in it, and it is difficult to say, there are too many things in it. Okay, I'm not going to sell it, I'm going to get it straight to the point, I'm going to tell you. That is, economic, economic, and learning! ”

Economics?

How do you talk about economics? Isn't that talking about land reform?

Yes, Li Mengyang knows very well that this matter of land reform. Then we have to talk about this economics, because this truth is in this economics!

So economics ......

"What, what kind of knowledge is this?"

"Economics? Hi! What's wrong with this, the way of the world! The study of the world! ”

"Oh, yes! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Come on, these ministers of the former Qing Dynasty are really amazing, they are directly in this Taihe Palace, and they have redefined economics, high. It's really high!

But is it really the way of the world, the study of the world?

"Hehehe......" Li Mengyang really smiled, but however, he was not laughing mockingly, because he knew that just these ministers, they didn't understand this science. In China today, there are few people who understand. So Li Mengyang said: "Has anyone read Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations? ”

As soon as this question came out......

"This ......"

"Lord Wang, have you seen it?"

"This, this, this ......"

Obviously, as far as this book is concerned, none of the original officials and masters of the Qing Dynasty have read it. But not ......

"I've heard it below!" It was Li Hongzhang who spoke, but he claimed to be below, which is very interesting.

"It turned out to be Li Zhongtang! Disrespectful and disrespectful. Li Mengyang replied.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the New Tang Dynasty, the old man can't stand it!" What does Li Hongzhang mean by this...... He's got a stiff neck!

If you want to talk about this old man, it's really a little okay. For example, when Yuan Shikai came in before, he didn't do anything like Weng Tongyi and Zhang Zhidong, this old man was ready to go out to find soldiers, but it's a pity!

This Qing Dynasty, what other soldiers are there to fight?

In this Qing Dynasty, some are only private soldiers controlled by themselves in the local area, for example, he Li Hongzhang himself has a strong force, but unfortunately, they are all 'old soldiers'.

The so-called old soldiers, of course, are aimed at 'new soldiers', that is to say, they are not stupid on the side of the Manchu Central Committee, they are shrewd, they have already thought about it, they want to train a new army, but God does not fulfill people's wishes, they are relatively poor.

By the way, wasn't the Empress Dowager Cixi speculating in stocks before?

In fact, Cixi also had an idea, that is, the money from the stock could be loosened by the central government's finances, and then the new army could be trained. But as a result, isn't it all lost?

And the old army in Li Hongzhang's hands, this military salary or something, the central government doesn't care, it depends on him Li Hongzhang to prepare it himself, that is to say, it is very stretched.

Otherwise, this Manchu Qing can get to this point?

As far as Yuan Shikai's homeless people turned the capital upside down, fortunately, those foreigners or something, they didn't react. Otherwise, this Qing Dynasty will not have a certain surname.

But in this Taihe Palace, there is another very interesting thing.

"I said Li Zhongtang, what kind of stubble are you fighting, hurry up and let Your Majesty tell me!" The one who spoke happened to be Yuan Shikai!

Why is Yuan Shikai in this Taihe Palace?

How simple is it, as far as Li Mengyang, a traverser, saw Yuan Shikai, it wasn't like looking at him like a rare animal?

Actually, this Yuan Shikai is also well-behaved enough, didn't he send a letter of nomination before, that is, Zhou Zili, and after surrendering, Yuan Shikai also had a very good attitude and actively cooperated with the transformation...... Well, this is all a report from Li Mengyang's subordinates.

So, such an interesting kid, can Li Mengyang let it go?

Come on, come on, come and mix and mix.

Then, at this point, there is no need for Li Mengyang to delay.

"It can be seen that everyone has not read economics, but in fact, this economics is closely related to everyone, you have not read it, but it does not mean that you have not done it, in short, your buying and selling behavior, this is the category of economics ......"

Li Mengyang really started to talk about this, so why did he talk about this economics?

Or, what is Li Mengyang talking about?

What Li Mengyang said, first of all, is to briefly talk about "The Wealth of Nations"!

Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" is really a classic, and this is a must-read for the introductory level of economics, because this is the first systematic work of economics of mankind.

Li Mengyang, who studied history, did not study economics himself, but he was not. His discipline of party history is inseparable from economics, because in fact, as far as the works of Marx and Engels are concerned, in the West, these are all economics!

So what exactly is economics?

As far as Li Mengyang remembers. In the later generations, there was a program on Treasure Island, which talked about finance and economics, and this program was considered to be more disciplined in Treasure Island, and the ratings were also the best, but in this program, I often found famous philosophers and philosophy professors on Treasure Island at that time, and asked them to talk about economics.

There is a lot of nonsense about the TV shows on Treasure Island, but they all know that economics has a great relationship with philosophy.

That's right. Economics is actually related to philosophy, and this discipline is actually not the study of economy, but the study of human society, which is a part of sociology!

In other words, if you want to study society, more specifically, the current social situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then you must understand the knowledge of economics!

So. Li Mengyang introduced Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" as soon as he came up, because this "Wealth of Nations" is in the current society. It is definitely the most admired economic masterpiece in Europe.

So what's going on here?

Market!

"The Wealth of Nations" is actually about a market economy, an invisible hand, which will make the market balanced, that is to say, this is a theoretical work in which human beings first understood themselves and their own society.

Didn't it before?

The previous so-called writings were really not very good. And Adam Smith's is indeed very well said.

And Adam Smith also mentioned one thing, and that is the problem of the market.

In the market, the state of imbalance, that is, supply and demand. Imbalance is the norm, and equilibrium, in fact, is only a moment, that is, the transaction.

Anyway, there are a lot of things in it, but this has nothing to do with what Li Mengyang wants to talk about, what Li Mengyang wants to talk about is actually a market!

"Your Majesty! Why are you talking about this market? "Bai He is also in this Taihe Palace, he is really too curious about this issue.

It should be said that all the old Manchu officials at this time, including the prince and emperor, were confused by Li Mengyang, but on this question, why, they really wanted to know, but they didn't dare to say it.

So why?

"It's simple." Li Mengyang waved the 'whip' lightly, and then said: "Because what I am doing now is this 'land reform movement', which is the behavior of a market, so I must let you know what the market is first!" ”

Is Agrarian Reform a Market Action?

This matter is really a bit incomprehensible to the 'Manchu Dynasty civil and military' on the Taihe Palace, because it is too jumpy!

It's a bit too much, because for people who have a little bit of a foundation in economic theory, you make them understand this further problem right away, which is to rush to the basics, and it's going to be upgraded right away, which is a bit hard.

But though, that's what Li Mengyang said.

"You don't have to worry, you just need to understand the following things, that is, the market, we can expand this thing to see, let's say we China, this is a big market, and this market, what is the current situation? You can always answer this question, right? ”

Li Mengyang gave a question, he really looks like a teacher.

"This ......"

"The ......"

Still no one can answer.

There was no way, Li Mengyang had no choice but to say it himself.

"Let me put it bluntly, it is the Chinese market, which was originally called the Manchu Qing Dynasty, has collapsed, that is, the resources in the market are completely unbalanced and distributed, which completely violates the laws of the market. So now to let this market, that is, our China go on, as the country, the current new emperor, I have only one way, that is, to do zero, the market to zero! ”

Returning to the two words, Li Mengyang actually said something very heavy, but it was not ......

"......" is just these Manchu officials, no one understands, really, just look at their eyes, you don't understand at all!

But at this time......

"Aha! I understand! "It's that Yuan Shikai who is calling like this! (To be continued......)
