Zhu Yuying picked up the books that were sent to the door with some curiosity, and they were still stained with ink, and she also knew the agreement between He Qiu and his father Zhu Di.

Zhu Yuying also wanted to know what kind of manuscript her husband would come up with.

I think it can make He Qiu have the courage to shout a book that is at least comparable to "Pipe", it shouldn't be much worse, right?

When I opened the book cover, the first thing I saw was the introduction written by He Qiu.

The entire introduction is nearly 10,000 words, all of which explain some terms of economics in advance.

For example, what is a producer, what is a consumer, what is productivity, what is production relations, and so on.

Zhu Yuying's head was big, and she only felt dizzy, but in the end, it was her husband's book, and she still read it patiently.

When she opened the first chapter, she saw that it began to talk about commodities, labor, markets, etc., and then Zhu Yuying gave up and laughed at He Qiudao.

"Isn't the husband going to be a nobleman and ready to run to do business?"

He Qiu straightened his sitting posture and said seriously.

"This is what I have written about how to apply it to the world, and if you study it carefully, it may indeed help you in your business."

"I'm going to write a series and call these things 'Political Economy.'"

Zhu Yuying pursed her lips and muttered.

"Whether it can be used in the world, I don't know, I just know that there must be very few people who can see it."

This is Zhu Yuying's true feelings, he only felt that this book was very obscure, this is still a lot of books that Zhu Yuying reads on weekdays, and he can understand He Qiu's thoughts a little.

If I had been replaced by other people who had grown up reading the books of the sages, I am afraid that they would not be able to read a single word.

He Qiu said very freely.

"I believe that people with brains will definitely take a serious look at it, and they will definitely get a lot of gains!"

Zhu Yuying was furious and said coquettishly.

"What do you mean, do you mean I have no brains!"

The annoyed Zhu Yuying knocked on He Qiu's body with her little hand, He Qiu exclaimed repeatedly, and avoided Zhu Yuying's 'pursuit' with a smile.

The central idea of "The Wealth of Nations" written by He Qiu is only three points: the state needs to regulate the market and control the overall economic situation; improve productivity, develop science and technology; Liberate human resources and adjust the already inappropriate relations of production.

In fact, there is a little hidden in the middle, the topic of how to distribute fairly.

However, in a feudal dynasty like this, if Harmony blatantly says anything about fair distribution, more work and more rewards, I am afraid that Zhu Di will be imprisoned first.

As for some of the details filled in it, most of them are explanations of economic terms, and economic problems of all dynasties, and give reasonable explanations from the perspective of economics, which can be regarded as an afterthought.

But isn't that what economics is all about?

It is impossible to rely on economics alone to guide the current social production, and the best result of such an exercise is to divorce itself from reality and cause national turmoil.

He Qiu can only try his best to point out some economic problems in the current Ming Dynasty based on his own observations, and stand on the height of history and come up with his own methods, which is useless or not.

In the final analysis, it can only be used as a kind of social guidance for an agrarian society, after all, the current Ming Dynasty can't even see the sprout of capitalism and the sprout of the industrial revolution, how can it be vigilant against capital?

If you want to talk about capitalists, or businessmen, China has been very vigilant since ancient times, and there is no need for He Qiu to remind him.

So, after all, there is only so much that can be written.

Don't look at the self-description of the whole book, it is only sixty or seventy thousand words, but it also emptied almost all of He Qiu's thoughts after coming to Daming.

Fortunately, the encyclopedia in the next place, or the "Yongle Canon", does not need He Qiu to bother, just take out the whole book that he drew and slowly delete and modify it little by little.

In the palace, a chamberlain hurriedly presented the book written by He Qiu.

"Your Majesty, this is a new book written by Liangxiang."

Zhu Di took the manuscript with some curiosity and muttered.

"This kid, why did you write so fast?"

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was also interested, and asked the eunuch to help him get a copy, and as soon as the book arrived in his hand, the two were attracted by the three big characters of "The Wealth of Nations" on the cover.

What kind of king doesn't want his country to be rich and strong?

After reading the introduction and the first chapter, Zhu Di had already begun to feel the activity of He Qiu's thinking.

No one could have imagined that He Qiu would directly put aside Confucianism this time, without mentioning benevolence, righteousness and morality, and directly talked about these conceptual things.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is old and his energy is a little lacking, his years of experience as an emperor can also make him see the beauty of this book, which is different from Zhu Yuying, a stupid child.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"He Qiu's book is still too difficult, I'm afraid many people can't understand the mystery! And it's even more difficult to serve as a theoretical basis for the reformers, which is a bit out of place! ”

That's really true, just looking at the whole number of definitions at the front of the book can dissuade people, and it's hard for anyone to stick to the end.

Moreover, the reason why Zhu Di asked He Qiu to write a book was not to find an argument that could be used to change the law?

It's like Wang Anshi played a new game before changing the law, and Zhu Di and his son were also very envious of this kind of operation.

Zhu Di said disapprerovingly.

"Then let him write a simpler book."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and the matter was settled.

He Qiu couldn't have imagined that it would have been enough to call this book, but he was thrown back and asked himself to write an easy-to-understand book of "The Wealth of Nations".

He Qiu sat in the mansion, really wanting to cry without tears.

Even if your body feels hollowed out, who can you hand this matter to?

Evade? It is impossible to shirk, how many people can shirk the matter decided by the Zhu family's father and son?

At least He Qiu didn't have this ability, and the hard-pressed He Qiu once again buried his head in writing a book with candles, and was angry and strong.

After staying up for five nights, I barely managed to come up with a copy of "The Wealth of Nations", which no longer mentions those definitions at all.

He Qiu played the concept of national wealth in this book, and directly defined the relationship between national wealth and national strength.

At the beginning of the chapter, it is clear that a strong country is naturally rich, and a rich country is not necessarily a strong country.

And He Qiu also gave two examples, namely the Han and Tang Dynasties and the Two Song Dynasties.

The first two are typical representatives of the country's strength and wealth, their country is strong, so they are rich, and the people can also feel the country's wealth and strength in the Han and Tang dynasties.

The two Song Dynasty are just simple national wealth, and the country is not strong, so the people under his rule are worried all day long, and they can't feel the country's wealth and strength at all, and their lives are not stable.

After pointing out these two examples, He Qiu began to explain how to make the country rich and strong.

This time, instead of just explaining it from the awkward economic aspect, he found two things that were easy to understand.

One is called the organizational leadership of the country, and the other is the overall output of the country.
