Chapter 233: Luxury and Simplicity

Anyone needs something, there are things to do, even if it is a child, but smart children and stupid children often have different development, smart children need to have something to test themselves and prove themselves, and stupid children also need to prove that they can play better than others through constant games.

Feeling fulfilled through what is happening over time is actually important for everyone.

It's just that everyone faces different things, and the simpler the things, the less fulfillment they have for him, and even if they just say something that others can do, there is even less sense of accomplishment.

Staying in the Fan family manor, you may not be interested in other things, but you will be more interested in learning new knowledge and making money.

Fan Jingjing's economic theory is that when you earn money, you have to spend it hard, in order to get the money you spent, the people around you will start to move, so you make more money, and then you earn their money back, and then spend it, there will be more consumption and production, so there will be more people living a good life.

Because the productivity of the people will gradually increase, to pursue this wealth.

Therefore, Li Chengqian noticed that Wei Zheng had a recital with his father, so that his father could not be extravagant and wasteful.

Because the emperor is the role model of the world, seeing that the emperor likes luxury and waste, the rich people in the world will follow suit.

But in Fan Jingjing's theory, the world's rich people start to be extravagant and wasteful, doesn't it mean that they will consume more, so they will produce more production...... Isn't that a good thing?

As long as they don't use the money produced by the imperial court to waste extravagantly, but use their own money, that's a good thing, in the end, the emperor's tax collection is divided into the inner treasury and the state treasury, and a lot of the money in the inner treasury is earned by the production units of the underpants, not necessarily from the taxes of various places.

When the inner treasury has to spend more money, it is natural to find a way to make more money, that is, to increase production, increase production, will provide more production, and these production has always been very lacking for the people, in Fan Jingjing's point of view, a lot of production, help to improve daily life, people's lives will be more and more rich.

Even if the superintendent will make more iron tools, the farmers will actually be more efficient when farming.

Unlike now, their iron tinkering, which has not been replaced for decades, has new ideas, and may not be applied to the level of their lives.

Since it is not popular, the price will naturally be high, so they will obtain daily necessities, which will be much higher than the price of physical goods.

This is not good for a happier life.

Almost every year in feudal society, the same fiscal revenue will be reduced, all because some people have embezzled these interests, and it does not mean that the total amount decreases or increases.

It's like a pool of stagnant water.

All changes are gradual and iterative, like reincarnation.

It didn't take long for Fan Jingjing to come to give Li Chengqian a lesson.

Fan Jingjing's classes are mainly mathematics and physical chemistry, which other teachers can't teach, but during the class, Li Chengqian will ask all kinds of questions, especially his favorite management.

He found that there are many new concepts in management, in Fan Jingjing's eyes, and these new concepts have a certain degree of rationality after careful consideration, of course, these rationality must have several hypothetical states that must be met before they can be carried out, but these hypothetical states, in fact, if deliberately arranged, it is not impossible to do.

Even turning a hypothetical state into reality is a kind of management science.

Moreover, these very novel knowledge in Li Chengqian's eyes are nothing in Fan Jingjing's eyes, and they have not even constituted a certain state of learning in her mind, but once Li Chengqian raises relevant questions, Fan Jingjing can always put forward certain theories.

Although Fan Jingjing does not admit that this is a theory, because she can't name these theories, she is very calm when talking about theories, and believes that these theories are real.

Regarding the abstinence theory mentioned by Wei Zheng, Li Chengqian couldn't help but put it forward, because the idea in Li Chengqian's mind was that if he became the emperor in the future, but the courtiers asked him so, he would definitely be very unbearable, so he desperately hoped that Fan Jingjing told him a theoretical basis, thinking that he could manage it well if he couldn't help himself.

He felt that Fan Jingjing's theory was better for his future, at least if the emperor wanted to promote consumption, then he had to spend money reasonably, as long as he spent money reasonably, and diversified spending money could improve the welfare of the people, and this kind of life was a happier life for him.

If everyone doesn't spend money, then how can there be extra money on people who have nothing to do with eating?

And a happy life is not just about eating, in addition to having a full meal, but also to live a more satisfying life, sometimes a firework can also make people's hearts full of sublimation, at least the fireworks released by the Fan family manor, let him have an endless aftertaste.

It turns out that fireworks can be so beautiful.

People can only feel happy when they have more to enjoy than to eat well, and a happy people will not want to oppose the ruler.

Li Chengqian told Sister Fan Jingjing what Wei Zheng had done, and then asked:

"Did you say Wei Zheng was nosy?"

"Lord Wei is a good official for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, you have to be polite, as a prince, you can't talk casually."

Fan Jingjing said solemnly. If he is caught by the officials of the imperial court, he will say bad things about them behind his back, and he will also name them, he will definitely be cut by the sea.

Fan Jingjing was worried, looking at Li Chengqian and thinking about it, don't hurt me.

Li Chengqian's expression was very aggrieved.

"It's not easy to change their mindset, you have to let them see our economic mindset and have our benefits.

Facts speak louder than words, so I've always let them look at what the Fan family manor has created, rather than talking about it.

If they have enough analytical ability, they will naturally be able to analyze many principles from the operation of the Fan Family Manor. ”

Fan Jingjing knew that he couldn't hit Li Chengqian too much, so he tried to explain this matter from the development of the Fan family manor, if Li Chengqian had to refute Wei Zheng, then he had to use the Fan family manor to sort out a set of theoretical systems.

With these courtiers, especially courtiers like the counselor, what they want is actually a mouthpiece.

And when they are practicing mouth cannons, the most troublesome thing is that they like to quote scriptures, if there is no way to convince the other party with the classics, they will only feel that you are talking nonsense, but the depth of Chinese studies, if Fan Jingjing wants to compare with them, it is simply too bad, Fan Jingjing has only read a few ancient texts, and even to cope with the exam, the specific content actually has no feeling for her at all.

Unlike the doctors at this time, the content of each paper is read aloud with love.

For her, facts speak louder than words, and it is best to talk less to the officials of the current court to present the facts, because in front of them, the weight of facts is still very heavy, otherwise they will not be able to be a good official, but they often do not grasp the existence of facts, unless the project he is responsible for happens to be in this part.

"But if I refute being an adult, will it make my father unhappy?"

"The reason why the emperor respects Lord Wei is that the most important thing is that he wants to manage the Tang Empire well, if you can prove that Lord Wei is wrong, why should the emperor feel unhappy? Could it be that the emperor prefers the life of an ascetic? ”

Fan Jingjing knows that when things are critical, people often lose the ability to judge, and Li Chengqian still cares very much about his father's judgment.

This is a tradition, and if you want to disobey your parents, you must have a lot of courage, or you don't care about other people's evaluations.

But as a prince, the evaluation of others is precisely the most important.

The prince couldn't hold his neck, so he said, "That's what I want, otherwise what do you want?"

Even if you become an emperor, if you don't want to leave a very bad evaluation in the history books, you must let the ministers handle it, unless the minister brushes the tiger's beard, in the court where the upper and lower levels are very strict, if you want to grasp the power, the emperor's power wants to be taken away, at this time the emperor will deal with the minister, the other ministers will not speak, if it can be handled smoothly, it will also leave a good record in the history books.

If you want to rebel, it is best to form a strong force far away from the emperor, and then slowly advance, from small to large, as long as it is implemented properly, it is very possible to overthrow the emperor.

However, at that time, everyone should have a bad impression of the emperor, otherwise most people still support the original court, and God knows what kind of person the new emperor is?

The forces that often form rebels are not very eyesightly, and they will be scandalized in the rumors of the imperial court, and in such a situation, the general people will of course be jealous.

At this time, the spread of news is not so fast, and the news that many people can hear in their ears is the news conveyed by people they know, and it is very difficult to spread the news far away, and it must be passed on by word of mouth.

People who can walk far away, in fact, are only a small number of people, and their walking speed is also very slow, not to mention that even if they can go far and far, the trust in them is not very sufficient.

Most of these people are characters who lick blood with knives, and people have less trust in them.

In fact, Fan Jingjing never believed that a political system has the most perfect time, but as long as the top and bottom know how to take care of the people and obtain the way to do things, it is not impossible to make life better.

The reason why it remains unchanged is because too many people at the bottom can't eat, and those who can eat mostly spend their energy on maintaining their own lives.

And they didn't see anything worth investing in, so most of the money they got was hidden in the cellars, and if they dug into the ground, they often found a lot of gold and silver treasures.

Fan Jingjing is not prepared to criticize the inherent ideas of contemporary people, because contemporary ideas are developed in response to the environment.

Fan Jingjing, as an outsider, before popularizing their own way of life, their original ideas are the most stable society, but while stabilizing the society, they also continue to generate new problems, when they can't solve the problem, the society will be overthrown, and a new dynasty will be born almost every few hundred years, and the decline of the old dynasty is almost because of this relationship.

When the reform cannot be carried out, it can only be revolutionary, knocking everything down and starting over, but the people will suffer, and the people will suffer, and in the process, many people will lose their lives.

The demise of a dynasty is not entirely an external threat, because if the internal unity reaches a certain height in military and political terms, it is not easy for outsiders to defeat them.

The real problem is not the quality of people, but the problem of property, if the money can't be done, no matter what way there is no way to do it.

The so-called bad guys, good guys, are all about whether they have enough power to limit, and where does the power come from? In Fan Jingjing's view, these powers actually come from how many people you have the money to feed.

Probably only the fall of the Song Dynasty is strange, because they perished because they were overly wealthy, so they perished because they were established to prevent the local government from controlling too much military power, which led to a deviation in their military, they had money to train soldiers, but they could not train good soldiers.

The same Fan Jingjing, did not give Li Chengqian a standard answer, because Fan Jingjing didn't even know this standard answer, but Fan Jingjing told Li Chengqian his thoughts and let Li Chengqian decide for himself.

After starting to do business, Li Chengqian's thinking and behavior are much more stable, and it seems that a person must have industry to have room for growth.

Because there will be problems in industry, and there will be problems that will try to solve them, and when a person solves more problems, people will grow.

And Li Chengqian's experiment is not very important to him, so even if it fails, it is not a big deal, so when he makes a decision, all the plans are an experiment.

If the result is good, he will record it, and if the result is bad, he will propose a new method again, he does not have to worry that the workshop will go out of business, as long as the quality exists, there is only a problem of selling well, selling badly, and expanding fast or slow.

The quality of Fan's Manor surpasses ordinary commodities.

In the case of good quality, and their attitude to do business follows Fan Jingjing's principle, and the service is good, except for the situation that the service exceeds the cost, resulting in a loss of money, it is no longer possible to do business.

When he did a good job, he had already calculated whether he could make money, and Li Chengqian was not worried about this, after all, he also studied mathematics, and he also had some experience in administrative management, not to mention his research on food, with the most picky Li Li to taste, he could basically determine the taste.
