Chapter 953: Showing off wealth and pretending to be forced to be struck by lightning

Zhao Xing's thinking and assumptions about the restructuring still have many specific details, and it still needs to wait for several of the most trustworthy strategists and internal affairs officials to gather, after repeated deliberations and arguments before it can be implemented, but he is not in a hurry at this time, after all, the two potential biggest enemies in the Central Plains are now Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and they still occupy Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and other places, and it will take a lot of effort to completely calm down.

Since Zhao Xing lived in the former courtyard, it has become a temporary headquarters, and officials at all levels have been in and out all day long, reporting to Zhao Xing the situation in various parts of the world, and many things need to be solved and completed by him personally. In this way, Zhao Xing, who is used to being a "hands-off shopkeeper", is tired enough, and he is more and more looking forward to the early formation of his cabinet team, so as to liberate him from cumbersome state affairs.

After the situation stabilized, Luoyang was more gloomy than before, and it obviously increased its vitality and vitality. Merchants, craftsmen, craftsmen, businessmen, students, and tourists from all over the world flocked to the market...... quickly seized the large space vacated by the dignitaries who fled to Xuchang in panic, and took root in Luoyang City as quickly as possible, and lived the life they were accustomed to in the north very comfortably.

Luoyang City was originally debranded, and the five drunken immortal buildings that were not allowed to operate for many years were all renovated, and now after reopening, business is even more hot than back then. In the past, there were too many big people in Luoyang City, and most of the guests they invited were in their own mansions, at most they asked Zuixianlou to send some wine and food. Nowadays, all the high-ranking officials and nobles have run away; many of the "wall grass" that depend on the high-ranking officials and nobles for their survival have also run away; the only ones who have not run are a group of low-level people who were born and raised in Sri Lanka.

After the reopening of Zuixian Building, the new residents of Luoyang, who were accustomed to drinking the long river Daqu and eating the copper pot mutton in the north, swept away the reserved and introverted atmosphere in the city in the past, and quickly changed the customs and style of Luoyang with a bold and enthusiastic temperament. Five drunken immortal buildings are far from enthusiastic northern guests to buy drunk, they are all for the name of "Pingxi King" specially came to cheer, Zhao Xing naturally can not treat the first batch of people who rushed to Luoyang to pan for gold, so immediately greeted Liu Jili, the experienced general manager, in Luoyang City opened twenty new "drunken immortal buildings" suitable for ordinary people to eat and drink, in this way, finally relieved the appetite of the people in the city.

There is no way, in this winter, the township party who came from the bitter cold areas in the north can drink a little wine and eat a steaming mutton with a little money. If not, it doesn't seem like you're going through your life. If you want to blame, you can only blame Zhao Xing. Who asked him to make the originally poor north richer than the south, who made him make Changhe Daqu, a liquor that is very suitable for the character of the northerners, and who made him improve the cooking and preparation methods of many delicacies?

In the original words of King Pingxi, the eating and drinking of the common people is the most important and critical thing, "eating and drinking, it is really gained!" If everyone tightens their money bags and is reluctant to spend money on consumption, it will cause domestic demand to be not strong, and the lack of domestic demand will lead to the stagnation of the empire's economy, and in the end, it is the people at the bottom who have not changed their living environment.

Therefore, Zhao Xing, who has always advocated frugality and simplicity, has never opposed legitimate consumption from top to bottom. In Zhao Xing's view, there is no contradiction between a clear opposition to extravagance and an equally clear encouragement of legitimate consumption. To a large extent, the reason for the emergence of Lang fee is to "show off wealth" and "pretend", and the basis of consumption is to improve the quality of life and standards according to one's ability.

Zhao Xing formulated extremely strict family rules from the beginning, requiring that the expenditure in the house must be implemented in accordance with the standards of moderation, simplicity and affordability, he did not require his family to be as frugal as Liu Yu, and only ate a fishy meat with meat at a meal, but he asked his family to eat as much as he could, otherwise it would be Lang fee. He also unpretentiously asked his family members to deliberately live a life of poverty and hardship, because this greatly violated the instinct of human nature to pursue comfort and comfort, but he asked his children to establish the habit and thinking of "self-reliance" from an early age, and resolutely not to be a useless "rice worm" in the family and society!

Zhao Xing demanded so much from his family and children, and the civil and military generals who followed him naturally followed the same example, and controlled their relatives and friends with the same requirements. Everyone is a person who has suffered and been poor, and they can best understand Zhao Xing's original intention of living a thrifty life, and they also support Zhao Xing's practice of not being extravagant.

Because of this, from Zhao Xing downwards, the entire Jin State and the areas actually controlled by the Jin State rarely appeared "official second generation" and "rich second generation" who showed off their wealth and pretended to be coerced. Occasionally, those who are not long-sighted and open-minded are either invited to drink tea by the officials of the Supervision Yuan, or they are spit on and wash their faces by the people who see them, and they will never dare to do the stupid things of extravagance and extravagance again.

King Pingxi has a mantra that is well known to women and children, which goes like this: "You have the right to consume, but you don't have the right to spend! The material wealth produced by the Han Dynasty belongs to the people of the entire Han Dynasty, and since you have money and it is temporarily stored in your home, then you have the obligation to keep it for everyone!"

Today, the richest person in the world is the King of Pingxi, which is very clear to all the common people who support Zhao Xing, and they sincerely hope that the King of Pingxi will be richer. The reason is very simple, the richer the King of Pingxi, the more generous the benefits he will give to the people free of charge at the end of each year, and the more funds he will voluntarily invest in various public welfare funds, which is the greatest blessing for the people in the middle and lower strata of society. Rather than having their wealth controlled by a few insatiable families, it is better to be in the hands of the Pingxi Wang's family!

Zhao Xing did this, to put it bluntly, it is the prototype of state monopoly. Because the future empire is helmed by him, the huge wealth that Zhao Xing personally holds is actually the wealth of the country. In the past so many years, Zhao Xing has always been turning the wealth in his hands into the wealth in the hands of the people, and he will do so in the future. As long as the empire is maintained for a long time, as long as the level of social productivity does not reach saturation, then there will be new wealth every day, and for a long, long period of time, Zhao Xing will not have to worry about overproduction and economic crisis.

Moreover, the territory of the empire is basically still a traditional territory, and the whole world still has ten or even twenty times the vast land waiting for Zhao Xing and his empire to continue to explore and forge ahead in the future. In terms of external expansion, Zhao Xingke has never been ambiguous, let alone soft. From later generations, he has the clearest and most thorough understanding that he must treat all the great powers and must "take advantage of your illness and take your life", otherwise it will be the greatest cruelty to his own country and people!
