Reconciliation is between two parties, and only one party is reconciled, which is not called reconciliation.

Today's banquet, of course, is not so simple.

Yu Wen also persuaded: "Hu Benwei, heh, if you enter Hu Benwei, you are the emperor's person, and you can be regarded as jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements."

Besides, this Liu Han himself is still a rare top-grade grandmaster in the world, and the Wang family has been fighting with him for so long, but he has not taken advantage of it at all, and now he has to retreat in Jizhou. ”

Hu Benwei, the emperor's personal soldiers, only listen to the emperor's orders, and no other institutions can manage it, so the means of officialdom cannot be used, which is why the Wang family did not use officialdom methods in the competition with Liu Han, and this means is the most powerful weapon of the gate valve family, without this weapon, it is equivalent to abolishing more than half of the force.

Without the means of officialdom, there is only the use of Jianghu methods, assassination, public duels, these are all common methods in the rivers and lakes, but Liu Han himself is a top-grade grandmaster, and the strength of Hanhai Trading Company is not bad, and it may not be good to use Jianghu methods.

The Wang family's past experience is a lesson, they had to deal with Liu Han by means of rivers and lakes, and the result was that they lost their troops and did not get any benefits.

Lu Qiao sighed in his heart, and Yu Wen then said: "The matter of Wu County has just begun, we have not yet gained a firm foothold in Wu County, and we all need Liu Han and Hanhai Trading Company to go to the sea." ”

"Brother Yu's words are reasonable, Brother Lu, don't lose a big one because of a small one," Zhang Xing also persuaded: "Besides, the second son of your family, it has really been a disgrace over the years, how could Ling Zun take a fancy to him, the Lu family really wants to hand it over to him, can you rest assured!"

In the next generation, the Zhang family is slightly better than the Lu family, two sons-in-law, one is an official, an official in Qingzhou, and the other is studying in the imperial capital, and you can participate in the tasting after two years.

Lu Qiao was already tempted, and when he saw that Zhang Ying also persuaded him like this, he sighed: "It's not that I think, it's that my father can't swallow this breath, alas, when the grade is older, sometimes I can't see it, this Liu Han is not so easy to deal with, okay, I'll go back and persuade my father." ”

Yuwen Zhang Xing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, they were also afraid that Lu Qiao would be desperate and insist on going against Liu Han, the situation in Jiangnan was unprecedentedly good for them, Wu Jun took it down, this thorn in the back was pulled out, just strike while the iron was hot, consolidate Wu Jun, and now seeing that Lu Qiao had nodded, the two of them finally put their minds at ease.

"How should we answer the letter from the north?" Zhang Xing asked.

"Didn't you say that this time we will not participate, and tell our people in the DPRK and China that we will not express our position on the new tax system. Yu Wen looked resolute, the biggest problem of the Jiangnan Shi clan is that there is no one in the court, and the only few officials from Jiangnan are also in the fourth or fifth grade, and they are still far away from Shangshutai.

But the biggest problem of the Jiangnan Shi clan is disunity, lack of leaders, Wu County is a typical example, Wu Jun Shi clan ignores the Yangzhou Shi clan at all, the two sides are very contradictory, Yangzhou Shi clan can not set foot in Wu County at all, this time, with the help of Wei Zhen case, Wu County will be included, do not take this opportunity to consolidate, completely free from worries, when will you wait.

The three of them quickly reached a consensus, drafted a reply to the north, and then called a few women, sat in the small pavilion, and after a while, they laughed and laughed.

Liu Han walked around, the island was indeed not big, and it didn't take much time to go around, but even so, the two girls were a little tired, Liu Han had to hold one in one hand, and Yudie took the opportunity to get into his arms, letting him half-hug and half-hug, and saw that Ziyan's eyes were on fire.

The island is not big, inside and outside the bamboo forest, there are only five or six thatched houses, just as Xia Mu described, Liu Han did not see a child, nor did he see a woman, quietly, the old man was the only living person on the island.

Slowly, Liu Han also let go, and kissed the two girls fiercely behind the bamboo forest, and the two girls were scattered, their faces were red, and they were hugged out of the bamboo forest by him.

Purple smoke and rain butterflies are not ordinary famous prostitutes, they are the top famous prostitutes in Yangzhou Qinglou, such famous prostitutes are not just random occasions can be blind, you have to pay attention to the mood, play the piano, write a few lines of poetry, and at least drink two cups of tea, and then you can have further contact.

But this is Liu Hanliu's family, the three articles of the Emperor Capital, the Liu family, whose literary name is spread all over the world, with his fame and power, he can naturally do whatever he wants.

"Beauty is in your arms, Brother Liu, what is this scenery?"

Lu Qiao looked at the purple smoke and rain butterfly in the hairpin skirt and quipped, the two girls lowered their heads shyly, but Liu Han smiled happily: "Nature is infinitely beautiful." ”

The two girls were even more shy, their faces were red and they didn't dare to look up, Lu Qiao and the other women laughed, and Liu Han walked into the small pavilion in laughter.

"How is it, have you discussed it?" Liu Han poured a glass of water and asked casually.

Lu Qiao smiled: "Thank you, Lord Liu, for helping us make up our minds, about the new tax system, this time we will sit on the Diaoyutai and let them fight for themselves." ”

Liu Han looked at Yu Wen and Zhang Xing, both of them nodded, Liu Han smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Lu, wise, now, those guys in the court and the north, we can't afford to provoke, we can't afford to provoke, let's hide, manage Jiangnan well, this is the fundamental." ”

"Here, please also consult Mr. Liu. Yu Wen hesitated and asked.

Liu Han got up and walked to the pavilion: "Jiangnan, the land is fertile, the products are abundant, the rice is harvested twice a year, it is known as the land of fish and rice, the silk is beautiful, the first is in the world, the lacquerware of the mountain is closed, it sells well all over the world, the clouds and mist of the foggy mountains, the Ming Dynasty of Xiaohan Mountain, the porcelain of Poyang, all of them are famous all over the world, such a good place, why can't it be managed well, if it is well managed, only Jiangnan can feed tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Great Jin Dynasty, tens of millions of subjects." ”

Lu Qiao and the three of them listened and nodded solemnly, the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, rich in products, it is the largest granary in the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is known as the land of wealth in the world.

"Jiangnan is good, there is no external trouble, but the inside is rich, all the princes, with such a rich land, what are you dissatisfied with, why bother to go to the muddy waters of the imperial court. ”

"Princess, what is the biggest difference between Jiangnan and the north?" Liu Han asked as he looked back at everyone.

"The southerners are on boats, and the northerners are on horseback;" Lu Qiao replied, and Lu Qiao shook his head: " You are from the geographical environment, in my opinion, the biggest difference between Jiangnan and the north is that the income of Jiangnan is not only brought by the land, the north, Hebei and Qinghai and Yongzhou, the income brought by the land accounts for seventy percent, but the income brought by the south of the Yangtze River, silk, cotton, tea, porcelain, lacquerware, salt, these things bring income compared with the land grain, about six or four open, and, in the future, if the sea is passed, these things are sold overseas, and the proportion of income brought by the land will be lower. ”

Lu Qiao and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what this meant, Liu Han shook his head slightly, there is no concept of industry in this era, and the emphasis is on cultivating and reading heirlooms, cultivating and reading the country, what kind of industry do you understand.

Liu Han felt that he had said too much, too far ahead, and after a little thought, he explained: "This, I can't understand one or two sentences, when I have time, I will write an article to explain to the people of the world, how wealth comes from, and what taxes are about." ”

Lu Qiao smiled bitterly, and this Liu Han's tone was also loud, as if no one in the world understood, only he knew.

"Well, I'm waiting to see Mr. Liu's masterpiece. Yu Wen smiled, his expression was quite disapproving, obviously perfunctory.

"It's so complicated, didn't the sages have already explained, "The Theory of Money", "The Theory of Salt and Iron", and "The Taoist Classics" all have discussions, do you have any new insights in Liu?" Zhang Xing did not hide his distrust, and asked in a stunned manner.

Liu Han was slightly condensed and looked up at him: "Then it's simpler, let's take Mr. Zhang's Zhang family as an example, Mr. Zhang is not strange." ”

"Done. Zhang Ying nodded casually, and said in his heart that I want to see what you can say.

"The Zhang family's property composition, land, workshops, restaurants, inns," Liu Han said: "Land, growing grain, workshops, producing silk and cotton porcelain, restaurant sales, inn accommodation, will all earn silver, all of which constitute the total income of the Zhang family." ”

"Then we divide this total income into two parts, one part for land and one part for non-land, and why divide it in this way, because the income brought by land is stable but limited, and the amount of good years and bad years is fixed from a certain point of view, while the income brought by workshops, restaurants, inns, etc., is not fixed and variable.

On another level, the land is also fixed, the land owned by the Zhang family is fixed, but the workshop restaurant inn is not fixed, you can open a workshop restaurant inn anywhere.

In terms of manpower, the farmer who cultivates the land is fixed, and the number of acres of land that a young and strong man can cultivate at the end of a day is almost fixed; but the number of customers that a shopkeeper can receive in a day is not fixed.

.....”

Liu Han explained the division of commodity society in a very simple way, very simple and clear, not only Lu Qiao and the three of them understood, but even the famous prostitutes such as the Purple Smoke Rain Butterfly on the side also understood.

"Therefore, the population that the land can bear is limited, from the expansion of the Zhang family to the Great Jin, the land of our Great Jin is limited, but the population is unlimited, when the Taizu was there, how many people did we have in the Great Jin, how many people are there now, the longer the peace, the more the population, the limited output, diluted by the infinite population.... ”

"According to what you say, is it advantageous for the war and natural disasters to cause a decrease in population?" Lu Qiao couldn't help but shake his head, unable to accept this conclusion.

"I think it makes sense, doesn't it be said in the Taoist scriptures that heaven and earth are unkind, and all righteous things are dogs, and saints are unkind, and the people are dogs. Zhang Xing was very calm, although Liu Han gave an example, he did not feel targeted: "The increase in population will inevitably lead to the sharing of wealth, during the Taizu period, the long-term war led to a decrease in the population, according to official statistics, in the ten years of Taizu, there were only more than 7 million households in the country, and now there are more than 3 million households in Yangzhou alone, has the land in Yangzhou increased? No, has there been an increase in grain output? or no." ”

Lu Qiao thought about it, hesitated, nodded yes, Liu Han smiled slightly, the division of labor in modern society is clear, and social and economic research, just take out a point, in this era, it is an explosive new concept.

Can we solve the problem of population growth under the current conditions, or develop industry, so that the surplus labor force in the countryside can be transferred to industry, is it feasible?

Absolutely not!

For a baby to be born, it needs to be conceived in the mother's body for ten months before it can mature and land, and the industrial society is conceived in an agricultural society, and now, he is far from maturity, and it is not yet the moment of landing.

"The land in the south of the Yangtze River has almost been developed, and if you want to increase your wealth, you can only find a way to make porcelain, cotton, and satin, and then sell it overseas. ”

"This overseas market is not only Dongying, this Dongying is in the northeast of our Great Jin Dynasty, but what if it is to the south? I have met merchants from the west in the Western Regions, and they have told me that the southern part of the Great Jin Dynasty can go further west by sea, where many countries are very fond of my porcelain silk and cotton cloth in the Great Jin Dynasty, the price is seven to eight times that of our side, if we can find this sea route, how much silver do you say we can earn?"

Lu Qiao and the three couldn't help but be excited, Zhang Xing began to regret it, and hurriedly opened his mouth to buy a share, Liu Han agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone returned to the boat, the painting boat slowly left the bamboo island, Liu Han stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the island that was gradually moving away, his expression was a little solemn.
