Chapter 420: The Mohist Plan

Yun Yao thought to herself that her cultivation was too low, and she could only rely on clues to reason about some specious future development directions, maybe she should really give up discussing serious things with Dan Ji, and instead indulge in doing something happy. As for serious matters, I still have to ask the master, and let the master of the earth immortal cultivation pinch his fingers, and he should be able to have a clue.

"If our cultivation is not high, we should think more and not slack off." In the end, Yun Yao still overcame his lazy thoughts, and he still had to continue to discuss serious things.

"Even if that's the case, what are you going to do? You also said that our cultivation is low, and that kind of major event of heavenly dao changes will not be our turn, you are just worrying about it. Since the Jingwei Alliance has chosen to retreat and hide, then they won't come to trouble the mortal world next, isn't it? You've been battling wits and courage with the Jingwei Alliance for hundreds of years, and it's time to rest. Dan Ji sniffed the fragrance of Yun Yao's hair and persuaded her to look away and not to tire herself out.

Yun Yao smiled bitterly, I am afraid that it will be a wave of unevenness, but it is really useless to worry about it, or to develop the 'Dacheng Smart Project' for the camp step by step is what needs to be done at present.

In the Song Kingdom, the infrastructure projects formulated by the giant are in full swing.

Occupy points, build roads, radiate, occupy more points, build more roads, radiate a wider area......

The Western Zhou Dynasty was divided into feudal areas of this idea, the princes of all countries occupied the main roads, and then built roads, built houses, and expanded, where the roads were built, the footprints of the Zhou people went. It took hundreds of years of expansion to get to where it is today, but after a long time, many roads became rotten and needed to be rebuilt.

When Guan Zhong came to power, he vigorously built roads, and repaired all the roads in Qi to attract businessmen from all over the country.

Nowadays, many countries are addicted to infighting and are unwilling to spend time on building roads, so many roads cannot be rushed, and some bridges have collapsed.

Mortals repair bridges are not like Yun Yao said to directly find a few demon slaves to divide five by two to erect the bridge, mortals to repair the bridge depends on the season, and when the dry season comes, the water level drops, it is a good season to repair the bridge. And when the dry season will come, this is the job of astronomical officials.

Looking at the position of the stars in the sky, you can probably guess that the dry season is coming, you can prepare materials in advance, and as long as the water level is lowered, you can build bridges and repair bridges.

Mo Shi also worked with the astronomical officials of the Song Dynasty to formulate infrastructure plans, and at the same time, this time the giant put forward the idea of spending money to hire workers, and allocated funds from taxes as wages.

There was never before, it was all free labor, taxes were only responsible for the purchase of materials, and even rations had to be brought by the conscripts. Now he actually spent money to pay the wages of the conscription, which triggered a great discussion within the Song Kingdom.

Of course, Juzi knew what he was doing, and he said according to Guan Zhong's idea of cash-for-work: "Guan Zi said that if there is a disaster, the country will build a palace, and select people with four walls to work, and the state will give them food to help them survive the disaster year." ”

Song Guo's doctors naturally know this, so they have to say: "It's not a disaster year now, everyone has surplus food at home this year, why do you still give them wages?" Shouldn't laborers bring their own food? "Do you know how much food and money it takes to build roads and bridges? How can the treasury hold up? ”

"We don't give food, we only give money." Juzi said: "Money is given to the conscripts as wages, and when they go back, they can buy goods, and they can also raise chickens and ducks, which can stimulate the development of industry and commerce and animal husbandry, and the simultaneous development of all industries is the law to enrich the country and strengthen the people." This is also the key to the pipe that can help Qi dominate the country back then, that is, the operation of the economy. ”

If you have money, you can spend it, and you can also invest in developing a side business.

Really? Everyone has questions, and a doctor asks: "The Song country and the Qi country are different, the Qi country has a large land area, and it is close to the sea, rich in fishing and hunting, and there is also sea salt production, our Song country has a small territory, and there is no benefit from fishing and hunting sea salt, how to attract merchants from all over the world to our Song country?" To put it bluntly, what can we sell to others, and what can we buy? "We need to buy a lot of things from other countries, but other countries rarely need our goods, and if it goes on for a long time, won't our money have to flow abroad?" We gave money to the Chinese people, and the Chinese people went to buy foreign goods, and in the end, the foreign countries became richer and richer, and the Song Kingdom became more and more impoverished. ”

Juzi was very happy to see that someone could put forward such a vision, because the other party was completely right, and this is also a problem that everyone needs to solve. He looked at the other party appreciatively and said, "What he said is true, so we want to revitalize the industry and commerce of the Song Kingdom and let the country buy the technology of our Song Kingdom." ”

"Like what?" Everyone looked at the giant and thought that Song Guo could sell any technology to other countries?

Nowadays, all countries are small-scale peasant economies, and apart from the necessary salt and iron, grain and cloth are basically produced and sold by themselves. Small countries, on the other hand, are more miserable, and need to exchange their hard-earned grain and woven cloth for salt and iron from others.

The days of self-production and self-sale are not bad, but if you take out some of the money to change production tools, then life will naturally be tight.

But if there is a technology that can replace grain and cloth to exchange salt and iron, everyone is still happy, but I don't know if the Mo family has this technology.

"We can set up a professional infrastructure team to go abroad to repair bridges and pave roads, build mausoleums and repair temples. We want all countries to know that our Song country's infrastructure is the best in the world, and we want all countries to spend money to invite us to their country's infrastructure. "The giant has put forward a plan, which is to sell infrastructure technology and labor to make money for the country and prevent an imbalance between revenue and expenditure. Infrastructure is a concept proposed by Yun Yao, which has been widely accepted by Mo scholars and introduced to the court.

Do you think it's okay? It's the first time I've heard that I can still make money for foreign infrastructure.

There was a lot of discussion, because the first time he heard about this kind of thing, even Song Jun was hesitating.

The giant is very calm, he expected everyone to react like this, he is not in a hurry, he can slowly convince everyone until everyone accepts.

"In ancient times, there was a country of Hengshan, which did not produce bronze but produced weapons in the world, because Hengshan had the best sword-casting master and mastered the best sword-casting technology. And now that the Song country has ink, the Mo family has the best technology, you can fully believe that our technology can be sold at a good price, as long as the Song country is used as a model to build excellent infrastructure projects, other countries will definitely be willing to spend money to invite us, and the Song country can let the currency return to China. The giant said categorically.

"In other words, Song Guo's payment of wages is just the beginning, in order to let other countries also hire Song people?" "Does this mean that you want to buy the Song people to other countries?" At this time, someone asked sharply: "You should know how hard the infrastructure project is, and many people will die, can you bear to let them die for money?" What are your intentions? Could it be that the Northern Jin Kingdom spent money to let us build the Great Wall, and we should go too? Isn't this just treating the Song people as commodities? ”

The construction of infrastructure in the Spring and Autumn Period is not only hard and long, but the construction of the Great Wall is endless, and bad luck is spent on it for a lifetime.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the giant, obviously thinking that the giant was too ruthless, even if the Song country was small, it was dignified, but the Song people could not be sold as slaves.

"The Mo family currently does not have the technology to repair the Great Wall, so they will not take over the work of repairing the Great Wall." The giant said coldly, and the other party secretly changed the concept: "I said, infrastructure with technical grasp is the goal of our ink maker." We have to show the ability to get the job done within a certain amount of time and within a certain budget in order for people to believe in us and hire us. The Mo family is not a slave trader, but a sale of technology, not a joke with human life, so they only take on projects that can be completed. ”

Song Jun nodded, this is about the same, that is to say, the giant sells technology, and people are just the carriers of technology, rather than simply treating the Song people as slaves for trading.
