Chapter 146 Production and Distribution

The power of ordinary people?

In the room, the faces of the people who claimed to be the smartest people in the United Company showed puzzled expressions.

The word is too obscure for them to understand.

Zhu Ping naturally did not mean to sell Guanzi, and explained: "When we oppress the merchants too hard, they will make them fall to the nobility, and when we ignore the merchants, they will be more indulgent......

It seems that there is no way for our side to deal with them!

Not really!

Where does the rich get their money from? How do they maintain their current state of well-being?

To put it simply, they control the nodes of "resource redistribution", using their status and position to monopolize and plunder from the hands of producers.

This is their source of wealth and their hole cards.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.

If ordinary people are unwilling to be plundered by them, and realize the essence of these people, they can easily break the situation......"

After Zhu Ping said this, the faces of the strategists who imitated the hometown think tank group became more and more confused, as if there were one question mark after another on their heads.

Except for some amazement at the rather literary metaphor that "water can carry a boat, it can also capsize a boat", they didn't understand the rest of the sentence.

What is resource reallocation?

What is Production?

The root of a group of people's doubts is that the wealth of the rich has not been inherited from the hands of their ancestors.

What does this have to do with ordinary people?

Zhu Ping couldn't help but hold his forehead, and then gave an example and said: "For example, the food we eat normally, an adult has to eat more than 30 catties every month."

With so much grain, the purchase price is only a few tens of meters of copper coins, and how much is the price now?

Leave the comfort zone of the canteen of the United Company.

In the grain market of the capital, thirty catties of grain can be sold for about sixty silver coins, a hundredfold increase.

To take an inappropriate example, a tenant farmer who grew grain under the aristocracy could not afford to eat his own grain.

Now you know where the hundredfold price came from! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly realized.

People always like to be deceived by superficial problems, thinking that food should be worth so much money, and there is a reason why it is expensive.

But the problem is that even according to the market, there is no grain harvest this year!

The food purchased from outside the entire market is not too bad!

The grain purchased by the United Company was also sold from the United Canteen at a near-cost price.

"Supply and demand" have decreased at the same time, but it has not changed much!

According to the "free market theory", if there is a market breaker and multi-party competition to reduce prices, the price of grain should be reduced!

Why is food going up?

In the end, it is still the greed of businessmen who is at work.

These merchants had to sell grain to "those who could not come to the company" and constantly raise the selling price to make more profit from it.

The grain merchants are the "distribution link" that exists on the road to the food supply, and it is precisely because of their problems that so many people starve to death in this kingdom every year.

Every piece of money they earn is scavenged from the body of the "frozen bones".

This is true every year.

Even many people have become accustomed to not having enough to eat, but the crops in this world are extremely high in yields, although they have not been cultivated.

Since industrialization has occurred, it means that the production of food can already be supplied to the majority of the industrial population through a small part of agricultural labor.

Obviously there is food in hand, but if you talk about the lack of food, it is really funny!

Zhu Ping explained for a while.

Only the people in the room can understand the truth, maybe they only had a vague concept in their hearts before, and they only knew the "evil" of the noble lords.

But they couldn't tell where the evil was.

And this matter, through Zhu Ping's summary, combined with the previous "resource redistribution theory", everyone present couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

The more I think about it, the more profound it becomes, and the more I think about it, the more shocking I become.

The well-informed old craftsman widened his eyes, looked at Zhu Ping, didn't know where to put his hands, and couldn't help sighing: "Celestial, celestial, shocking."

Is this really what you came up with? ”

"Of course...... No, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants. Zhu Ping originally wanted to come to another world to be a "poet copyist", but with such a good opportunity to show off, he still chose to tell the truth.

Because Zhu Ping felt that he was not qualified enough, far from being qualified.

Then he coughed lightly, interrupting the thinking of those present and bringing the topic to the point.

"Actually, the solution to the problem is very simple, a few newspapers can do it.

That is, to transfer the contradictions...... No, it's to expose the contradictions.

Aren't the rich going to hire people and resources to help the aristocracy in the best possible way?

Then let's expose the information, check all the people who come to eat in the United Canteen, and exclude all the people on the aristocratic side.

In this case, will anyone still work for the rich? ”

Zhu Ping slowly hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered: "The nobles think that my cheap is so easy to earn?"

I thought that I would pay a little money to my subordinates, so that they could make tools to beat me during the day, and eat and drink cheaply at my place at night.

How can there be such a good thing in this world?

Haven't you heard of the saying that free is the most expensive? ”

……

That same evening.

When dinner time for the United Cafeteria opened, the doors of a dozen or so houses, which could accommodate thousands of people at once, were closed.

More than 3,000 soldiers stood inside the wooden fence and looked coldly at the people outside the door.

Some of them had broken armor, others covered with a layer of dried blood, some of which belonged to the enemy and some of which belonged to the soldiers themselves.

The strong evil aura made people who wanted to make trouble outside the joint canteen couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Soon a notice was posted at the door of the cafeteria, and at the same time, he was worried that someone would not be able to read, so that Nathanaji, who had just rushed back, used his extraordinary ability to spread the content far away so that everyone could hear it.

The content of the notice is simple.

The United Company originally wanted to buy food and distribute it to civilians.

But it was not allowed by the aristocracy, and at the same time triggered the interests of many rich and factory owners, and now these people began to send men to prevent the United Company from distributing cheap grain.

In this way, they can make a lot of money by hoarding food, so much so that ordinary people can't catch up with it.

Although there is a slight deviation from the facts in what is written on the notice, if you get to the bottom of it, there is nothing wrong with the content.

It's just a reversal of the order of cause and effect.

Today's food will continue to be distributed as usual, but after today, the food will only be sold to the employees of the United Company and their families for the time being.

Of course, it also includes the employees of the partner companies of the United Canteen, as well as the families of the collaborators.

Cheap food is not sold to the enemies of the United Corporation.

……

The cafeteria opened.

It's just that today there is no longer the joy of the past.

Everyone eats with a worried look on their faces.

Again, ordinary people vote by their feet.

People who vote by mouth may not understand what the joint canteen means to them, they can live with cheap food, and they will starve to death without cheap food.

It's that simple.

So the question is, will the ordinary people who work in the capital continue to work as slaves and earn money for their bosses when they can't survive with their salaries?

The answer is no!

When Zhu Ping first opened the joint canteen, would he think of this day, would he think of this step?

Actually, no!

The situation is ever-changing, and he just wanted to use the United Canteen as a "tool" to support the survival of the people at the bottom.

And now, this tool, with the help of the east wind, has turned into an invincible and cohesive knife.

This is an accident and an inevitability.

Even a true statement can be used as a weapon to point at the villain's enemies.

Very simple.

Because on the right path.
