Jun Ji-hyun immediately explained: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the biggest difference between industrialized countries and agricultural countries is in the industrial structure. In ancient agrarian countries, when they fought wars, they lost their population, and then they reduced their labor force. In ancient times, agricultural taxes were the mainstay, so fighting a war not only required the consumption of food, but also a large population. In ancient times, the source of wealth was nothing more than the production of the land, and this economic level was completely backward. You also said that although our so-called GDP in the Manchu era seemed to be the largest in the world, it was even higher than that of Britain back then. However, China's GDP is produced by agriculture, while Britain's is industrialized. This difference is also the difference between potatoes and potato chips. ”

"So the British have industrialized, and if they go to war, they will have to consume a lot, mainly industrial products. However, if we are in ancient agricultural warfare, the main consumption is mainly agricultural products. Agricultural products are mainly food, so fighting a war is actually competing with the people for food and all kinds of things. Coupled with the ancient system of forced labor and so on, it was even more impossible for them to resume production. So in ancient times, wars and construction projects were actually multiplying the costs, far more than what seemed on the surface, but the potential costs were huge. ”

"But if we industrialize, then we don't really have a big increase in demand for food, but an increase in industrial products. And the industrial products cannot be eaten or drunk, and the war and various activities will not reduce the number of people engaged in those trades, but even not by much. On the contrary, various activities can stimulate those industrial production, which can further lead to employment. It even increased the demand for industrial products, which then led to economic development. When the country spends money, it flows into all kinds of factories, and the factories have to pay taxes. This can still be partially returned to the government. Then the people have to spend money after getting their wages, which further stimulates demand. Then the step-by-step cycle drives immeasurable economic effects. ”

"This is the difference between ancient and modern, it's completely different. With the difference in the economic structure, we cannot simply use the kind of activities and wars that we used in the past for pure expenses and did not have much profit. ”

"And aren't we going to start developing an industry now? However, at present, I found that the current market demand is too low according to the statistics of the data. Although many factories have started production, it is clear that they have not been able to meet much market demand. Many factories are actually producing at a relatively low level and are not operating at full capacity. Therefore, the benefits of experience are not large, and if you want to accumulate enough capital, then it must be a little difficult to follow. So we might as well stimulate the economy, so that we can have this celebration, and then help the factories to produce all kinds of industrial products. This festival requires a lot of things, and then you can buy all kinds of cloth and so on to make clothes, and even all kinds of things can be purchased. Then some of this money goes to the factories, and then quite a few of them go to the workers, and even all kinds of workers can get income. ”

"At present, our economic level is developing relatively slowly, mainly in the transformation of agricultural countries to industrial countries. Many of the peasants who lost their land went into the factories, and they had almost no savings. So they are very cautious in spending money and don't dare to spend it casually. However, the more they dare not spend money casually, the more they will cause no market. You must know that the vast majority of industrial products are actually used by people in the city. But there was a huge influx of workers in the city. They don't have enough savings to spend money casually. Don't dare to spend money. In the end, the market went down. The market is decreasing, and factories do not dare to increase production volume casually, and do not dare to expand production. Once production cannot be expanded, the income of workers will remain low in the end, and then they will not dare to consume casually, and finally a vicious circle will be formed! At last. Maybe our entire economy will collapse. Even many workers who could not make it go back to the countryside again, and then the landlord economy of the past would be revived again. ”

"So we might as well do it once and spend a little more money. After our government went on a big construction project and all kinds of expenses, a considerable part of that money went into the pockets of the workers. Under such a series of activities, workers dare to consume, and then further drive market demand, factories dare to produce in large quantities, and finally workers' incomes are getting higher and higher, and then they dare to consume further. This is also a virtuous circle, so this big construction is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you see that the money is spent there! In the past, in ancient times, the main thing was to spend money on luxury goods, which did not promote the economy at all, but would promote the trend of luxury. So that's why it's a waste of a lot of work in the past. ”

Wang Guorui listened to Jun Zhixian's words and immediately realized that his country's current economic level was in a transition period. Whether they were industrial merchants or landless peasants who had just become workers, they were in a situation of primitive accumulation. This situation of primitive accumulation is actually very difficult, and the slightest carelessness may return to the pre-liberation period.

If, in the economic terms of later generations, the people did not dare to consume, then in the end, the goods could not be sold, so that the workers were prone to unemployment, forming a vicious circle. Wang Guorui also remembered Roosevelt's New Deal decades later, which was to build various social infrastructures through large-scale construction in the course of the economic crisis, mainly by promoting domestic demand. And Roosevelt put the kind of people who didn't have much labor skills in the past to build those infrastructures, which was actually the reason for the rapid development of the United States after the war.

Although the government spends money, it ends up in the hands of ordinary people, and then those people return to the government through consumption and so on through various taxes. In this way, they stimulated the economy layer by layer and once again resumed normal economic development.

Wang Guorui also realized that the current domestic industry is still relatively primitive, and it is still on the primitive accumulation just now. The people do not have enough capital to consume, and the market cannot expand. And a large number of workers have just joined the industry and are not very skilled workers. So in this way, their wages are also low. and other comprehensive reasons, because the people's savings are not high, so the people can not consume, which makes the domestic demand market unable to be tapped.

"Neither can the exit! Now it is impossible for all countries in the world to open their markets to export to us, and they are still eager to sell us their goods! Therefore, we can count on exports, and we can only find ways to expand domestic demand. However, the people's savings are too small to spend, and this is also a problem. If this is the case, it is also a good way to build a large number of civil works. However, as long as it is not used for luxury enjoyment, it is not harmful to buy luxury goods. Wang Guorui also agreed.

However, Wang Guorui also immediately asked: "Jun Zhixian, you have grown a lot during this time!" ”

"I know that the country is currently in the process of economic recovery and development, so I think the emperor will be in great need of people who are proficient in the economy, so I take the initiative to learn." Jun Ji-hyun replied.

Wang Guorui also nodded, Jun Ji-hyun also has another advantage over other North Korean female secretaries, that is, he takes the initiative to learn. Other North Korean female secretaries went to him all day long and his lower body, hoping to gain Wang Guorui's favor, so as to have a child and then gain stability and wealth. But Jun Ji-hyun is not like this, she is able to take the initiative to learn every time. Although she may not understand, she can take the initiative to learn, learn if she doesn't understand, and strive to keep up with Wang Guorui's needs. It's not terrible to not understand in this world, but if you don't know how to pretend to understand, and if you don't understand, you don't learn, that's the most terrible. Jun Ji-hyun can take the initiative to learn according to the needs of the country and Wang Guorui, which is the most important thing.

"It seems that during this time, you took the initiative to give up sleeping at night, is that considered to be studying?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Hmm!" Jun Ji-hyun nodded in reply.

Jun Ji-hyun was supposed to be her turn to sleep during this time, but she took the initiative to give it to other North Korean female secretaries. This made others call her stupid, but she used this time to seize the time to make up for it. Because Jun Ji-hyun knows very well that she is in her twenties and about to be thirty years old, much older than Wang Guorui. Once after the age of thirty, it may be difficult for women to attract men by their looks, especially kings with many beautiful women around them. So maybe before the age of thirty-five, you can still rely on your looks to attract men, but once you reach the age of thirty-five, what can maintain pampering is nothing more than talent.

Although in ancient times, it was a virtue for a woman to be talentless, but since ancient times, what can really maintain the favor of kings is nothing more than two situations, one is that they have suffered together. The other is talented. Why has Wu Zetian been able to maintain his status, is it because of her appearance? No, it's because of talent. Even Cixi, an important staff officer in the government affairs of Emperor Xianfeng. So Jun Ji-hyun knows very well that Wang Guorui doesn't mind his woman expressing her opinions in politics, so Jun Ji-hyun knows very well that if he relies on his body alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to attract Wang Guorui for many years, and he will not be able to maintain his status in the long run. Since the body can no longer continue to attract a king for a long time, it can only be maintained with talent.

"Well, you ask the secretary's office to send an official letter to the cabinet, and I agree, and add another two million to the budget." Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.) )
