East Palace, in the small courtyard where Chu Ze temporarily lives.

Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, plus a future Yongle Emperor Zhu Di and Hunan King Zhu Bai on the side.

These four people, each of whom came out, were among the best figures in the Ming Dynasty.

However, at this time, they were sitting intently in front of a wall.

And standing in front of them was Chu Ze, who was holding a piece of charcoal.

The walls, which were originally clean and white, were now painted with black charcoal and covered with all kinds of messy patterns.

"The so-called tulip hoax is an extremely famous case of economics in later generations."

"One of the main effects is the herd effect."

"The flock is a very scattered organization, and usually they rush left and right blindly together, but once one of the sheep moves, the other sheep will rush up without thinking, completely ignoring the possibility that there may be wolves in front of them or better grass not far away."

"The moral is the herd mentality of people!"

"And the core point of the tulip scam is to take advantage of this herd mentality."

"Set up a bureau first, let a certain thing you choose, in a certain place, sell at a high price, and still continue to appear something, be bought at a high price, someone because of the discovery of something, and then get rich overnight."

"Of course, it can also be a fact, in short, it is a big publicity about it. And buy it in a big way. ”

So as to give more people an intuitive feeling that the value of the good things you choose is very high and valuable! Directly link this thing to the economic system. ”

"Start building a bubble economy from here, and then increase the hype and publicity, and continue to expand this bubble, so that more people feel that this thing is very valuable and valuable."

"The basic means is to collude with local people to conduct high-priced auctions and high-priced acquisitions by themselves."

"Once the value of this thing that you have set is recognized by most people, then you can start harvesting the bubble. With a large number of these things, they were gradually put into the market to harvest the real economy of the locals. ”

"There is another method that is more direct, which is to fundamentally destroy the economic system of the other side. For example, the high-value object set by Ling is this flower called tulip. ”

"Choose a special style as an extremely valuable product, once you plant a flower of this style, you can get rich overnight, and you can have no worries about food and clothing!"

"And even if you can't grow this style, other styles can sell for a lot of money. At least, it's much more profitable than growing food. ”

"Then, at such a time, it is natural that countless people will give up growing food and grow tulips instead. The chart is high profits and returns. ”

"After all, if you have money, you can use it to buy food."

"And once most people have chosen to grow tulips, you can burst the bubble and make the tulips worthless. At the same time, grain began to be sold at high prices in exchange for money in the hands of these people. ”

"And thus the purpose of the harvest is also achieved!"

"The core of this scam is that even if someone knows that it is a scam, they watch the people around them earn high profits through this scam one by one."

"Over time, people will develop a gambler mentality, gambling that they can get out of this scam safely."

"And as long as a scam lasts long enough and there are enough people involved, then even if it is fake, it will gradually become true!"

"Do you all understand?"

When Chu Ze finished explaining the general structure of the tulip scam in detail, he couldn't help but feel a little dry.

It's really not easy to be a teacher!

And when he put down the charcoal in his hand, he found that Zhu Biao, who was standing in front of him as a student, was still in horror at this time.

And looking at the people who hadn't come back for a while, Chu Ze also shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then walked directly to the side to drink tea.

After a long time, Zhu Biao and the others came to the pavilion.

It's just that this time, when they looked at Chu Ze, their eyes couldn't help but change a little differently.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't come up with this tulip hoax, I just happened to see it in a book. ”

"As for the rest, such as the herd effect, it is just the knowledge of later generations."

"After listening to those words, how do you feel?"

Originally, on the way back to the East Palace from the imperial study, under the chat, Chu Ze mentioned the tulip scam.

When this word, which everyone had never heard before, appeared, it directly aroused their curiosity.

Especially when they heard Chu Ze talk about the invisible war, they were even more interested.

Even Zhu Xiongying, who was only five or six years old, followed along and asked Chu Ze to tell about this so-called tulip scam in detail.

However, when Chu Ze really finished telling the composition mode of this scam, Zhu Biao and the others intuitively felt the shock and cruelty brought by the commercial war for the first time.

Especially when I heard Chu Ze talk about using such a business scam to completely disintegrate the foundation of a country.

Zhu Biao and the others couldn't help but substitute this disintegrated object into the Ming Dynasty where they were.

Imagine when the land of a country is covered with tulips.

What a sad situation will this country be in?

Once the bubble brought by the tulips bursts and becomes worthless, there is no food left in the land, and the people lose hope of survival.

What a human suffering it must have been at that moment!

Such a scene, Zhu Biao and others couldn't imagine it, and they didn't dare to imagine it.

As Chu Ze said, invisible wars are often the most brutal

"I'm actually a little curious, since you said that this so-called tulip hoax is the knowledge recorded in the books. So what happened to this place that suffered from this scam? ”

In the face of Chu Ze's inquiry, the eldest Zhu Biao couldn't help but take a bit of heaviness when he spoke at this time.

Since this kind of thing has been recorded in the books, it must have actually happened.

So what happened to the place that suffered from this catastrophe?

"The tulip scam came out in the Netherlands. The Netherlands, for the Ming Dynasty at this time, is also a very strong country."

"After the Dutch tulip scam, the domestic economic system collapsed directly. The original millionaire turned into a beggar overnight, begging along the streets. ”

"And because a lot of land is used to grow tulips, it also leads to a reduction in food production, when the bubble bursts, food prices skyrocket, and some people who originally made some money through tulips also quickly fell into poverty because of soaring food prices."

"And because of the attraction of the bubble economy during the outbreak period, many people choose to sell their property and stock up on some rare tulips for its rapid appreciation."

"At that time, the value of tulips could double every day, and under such benefits, countless people took risks and eventually broke their families."

"And these lands and family properties of theirs have also been bought by some people with good intentions."

"Since then, the Netherlands, which had been extremely glorious, has fallen into a slump, and it has taken a long time to come out of the shadows."

Regarding Zhu Biao's question, Chu Ze did not have the slightest intention of concealing it.

It's very straightforward to explain the fate of the kingdom after encountering this scam.

The Dutch tulip scam is the world's first recorded bubble economic event.

This incident is not a secret to many people in later generations.

"Then what you said about using this kind of commercial war to solve the problem of today's Ming treasure banknotes. Do you want to spread this pattern to other kingdoms, so that we can reap the wealth of the other side and use it to fill ourselves? ”

After Zhu Biao heard Chu Ze say this, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Just by simply imagining, Zhu Biao can feel the deception that Chu Ze said, once it is used in other places, and it is successfully harvested.

What a huge impact it will have on the local area.

Although it seems to be bloodless, the actual consequences may be more serious than a large-scale battle.

There is famine everywhere, and the people are not living well!

"Isn't that a good idea? Especially for the agrarian empire, once the opponent's economic system and food system are crushed, it is equivalent to directly cutting off the claws of the beast. ”

"You don't have to start a war, you don't have to be infamy. You can directly rob the other party openly. ”

"Why not?"

Regarding the intolerance in Zhu Biao's eyes, Chu Ze didn't take it too seriously.

As a man of later generations, he grew up in one of the most stable countries in the world.

For some human tragedies, he had only heard of them.

In other words, for him, some tragedies are just a word in a book.

Therefore, he does not feel that there is much in his conscience.

He couldn't see it anyway, and he couldn't see it

After all, with his current status, it is impossible for Lao Zhu to let him leave Ying Tianfu.

Unless it was Lao Zhu who left with him.

"This method may hurt the heavens and the peace."

After Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze's indifferent expression, his brows also furrowed deeply.

He studied under Song Lian since he was a child, and he accepted orthodox Confucianism, and he was almost a deceptive method proposed by Chu Ze.

He couldn't accept it for a while.

In particular, if Chu Ze's statement is implemented, what is the difference between it and the slaughter of the city?

"Prince, you are the prince of a country, and you will be the king of a country in the future, how can you say this at such a time?"

"Don't you think that what you need to consider first is whether Yu Daming is beneficial or not?"

"To have mercy on the children of another nation is to be cruel to the children of one's own country."

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight! His Royal Highness the Prince, you have a long way to go! ”
