Chapter 1297 Control of Material Trade
Ravena asked curiously, "What is important? Reveal a little. Immediately, she received a telepathic telepathy from Dong Haozi in her mind: "You can sue sΓΉ, but you don't sue sΓΉ othersβit's a fragment, said to be a fragment of the inner core building of the god-Anaxim." This matter is serious, don't talk nonsense!"
Rafina 'oh' and asked, "Is it a fragment brought by a man in a white gown and white gloves? Dong Hezi, who was silent on the other side, continued to secretly send a telepathy: "I haven't seen it, it was the Apolis Association that asked me to participate halfway." There was also a trace of divinity on the shard. It is estimated that it is a fragment of the core component, so it retains the divine spark in the god's body. β
Rafina asked curiously, "What has been researched now?" Dong Hezi, who was silent next to him, said: "No, this matter is quite complicated, and even the Jade Star Mage is not enough to join in, and it will not be able to produce results for a while." It's a pity that you can't bring it out, otherwise you can compare and analyze it with Le Lin's blue sword. There seems to be some similarities between the two. β
After chatting for a while, the matter gradually settled down - Grimm is the boss, Ravena is the financial director, and the security minister Bonuk forms a three-person leadership team to determine the collective discussion of important matters and other matters. Of course, Xiandale, who got the news the next day, also clamored to go, but in view of her swaggering appearance and overflowing love, she naturally refused.
After the leadership team of the leather bag company is determined, it is necessary to determine the buyer and seller. When Grimm brought some of the lists provided by Sherbon to show everyone, he himself was a little strange: "If Sherbuun can get this list, the Sun King should be able to get it." Why doesn't the Sun King do this business himself?"
Dong Hezi said casually: "Maybe people's thinking has not kept up with the development of the times. When he was born, the country was still a feudal kingdom. In his hands, it was suddenly united into a truly great empire. However, he did not know how to rule such a country. His ancestors also did not leave him with enough experience. What's more important - he doesn't have a team at all. It's like a rich peasant in the countryside who suddenly won a huge prize of hundreds of millions. With such a huge monetary wealth, he simply has no ability or experience to deal with it, let alone a group of people to take care of it. Someone who can take care of the money for him. But he was a country farmer who was about the same as him. Then he could easily end up losing all the money. β
"In the past, this country was a feudal separatist, and the lords and lords everywhere set up customs and cards everywhere to collect rent, and a small caravan had to pay a few gold coins to stay in one place. The flow of goods is extremely difficult. In order to cope with this situation, each region had to establish its own small estates. Each estate must have a full set of production and living equipment. For example, salt has to be produced in-house or nearby, and cannot be shipped from afar, because there are too many tariffs, and the price after shipment is too high. But the quality of such home-grown table salt is not very good. In other words, the manor economy is an economic form of last resort under feudal secession and tax barriers. At that time, the source of wealth was the physical wealth produced by the estate, such as wheat, soybeans, meat, etc. The second is the tax revenue obtained by setting up customs and building cards, and the third is some temporary income. At this time, the main source of wealth was controlled. This line of thinking is correct at this point. β
"But when the Sun King broke the separatist regime. After the roads of the whole country were unimpeded and commerce and trade were greatly developed, the situation immediately changed greatly! Taking salt as an example, the estates no longer produced large quantities of inferior salt, but transported high-quality salt from other places for use. The same is true of other means of subsistence and production - the whole scale has expanded dramatically, and the amount of currency transactions has risen sharply, and if the Sun King has a good trading team at this time, and can use the power of the government to intervene in the purchase and sale of salt and other goods, he can obtain a huge amount of money from it. That is to say, to obtain a large amount of wealth distribution rights, and only with wealth can we have the ability to reward and punish, and only then can we control the political power. β...,
But his mind is still clearly stuck in the feudal era of the past. First, he lived on a large number of estates. I thought that the manor economy was still the mainstream. At the same time, he lacked business talents to intervene in the salt trade, and the soaring salt trade was controlled by middlemen, and his own logistics power in this field and the wealth distribution power extended by the currency were all aside. To make matters worse, the estates are increasingly dependent on foreign salt, and no one wants to go back to the days when they produced their own low-quality salt. As a result, the estates became more and more dependent on foreign salt, and even had to pay a high price for salt. The same is true for trade in other goods. β
When he found out that the estate had to rely on foreign materials to survive and produce. Foreign materials were controlled by middlemen, who forced the manor to spend a lot of money to buy them by selling them at high prices and hoarding them, and the benefits were made by the middlemen who walked around, but it was too late. Because the middlemen have joined forces with the bureaucrats everywhere. The same is true for trade in other goods. As a result, it has only been 20 years, and the vines have already colluded under his political throne, and the situation is a little out of control. β
"In a word: the increasingly developed trade in goods has improved the standard of living of society on the one hand. On the other hand, the whole society had to rely on the trade of these materials to survive, and had to scoop up a huge price to satisfy the appetite of the material trade controllers. Just like the serfs had to spend a lot of labor to satisfy the appetite of the lords. The lord controlled the land, he controlled the life of the serfs, he controlled the majority of the people under his rule, and he controlled the society. Now, who controls the 'material trade' system. Whoever controls the lives of the people in the society will control the society. β
"Society, always developing rapidly, always leaving most of the contemporary people's thinking far behind, the Sun King is still using feudal thinking to rule the great empire
, thinking that the control of the land is the control of the zhΓ¬ qiΔ, and gave up the more important right of 'material trade control'. He was completely mistaken. Hmph, he told me that he admired Emperor Sluju and King Dashanlia or something. In fact, what do these people have to admire? They took advantage of their momentary advantage to rise rapidly, but they failed to establish a stable political structure, and the country collapsed. In essence, he is just a smart + lucky nouveau riche, and he is not the king of the king's business. β
Rafina asked, "Is he going to sell the manor now and join forces with Paslig and them, has he changed his mind?" He still lives in the old mentality of 'collecting land rent'. In the past, it was to collect land rent from the estate, but now it is to collect taxes from wealthy merchants. He's still trying to make it convenient. But I don't know that with the changes in the economic pattern, if you want to control the political situation, you must control the financial situation, and if you want to control the financial situation, you must be deeply involved in the whole process of production and commerce. You can't just sit there and eat taxes, but you have to be involved in the country's commercial and trade system as a half businessman. This time, he wanted to see your trading skills, and he probably thought of this layer. It's a pity to let a person with no foundation do it casually, which shows that he hasn't paid attention to it, he just wants to scoop you as a guinea pig and try his luck. Still, we're going to show him a good job. β
Grimm was half disappointed and half excited: "In this way, we will have a big business in the future." He might come in and let us share the dividends?" Seeing Dong Hezi nodding, Rafina on the other side became worried again: "Then will others say that we are competing with the people for profit?"
But he saw Dong Hezi sneering: "Whenever a regime is about to rise, the wealth it controls must account for a large proportion of the total wealth of society." Whenever a regime is about to fall, the wealth it controls must account for a small percentage of the total wealth of society. In the past, when the feudal regime was practiced, land was the greatest source of wealth, and the king occupied a very large and very good amount of land, so was it not 'competing with the people for profit'? Now, if you collect taxes, you are not 'competing with the people for profit'? If you don't fight, those rich businessmen and intermediate bureaucrats will fight for it, and this will be regarded as 'competing with the people for profit'? The key is to see whether you have enough ability to participate, and if you lack ability, you will indeed make a mess of the economy, but if you have enough ability, you will be able to control the country steadily. Now this majesty xiΓ ma~~ finally want to play the trick that Britain played back then. β...,
The seller has found it, and the next step is to find the buyer. After arranging for them to search for people, Dong Haozi turned around and went to his room, and after activating the Xiaoice given by the demon in a basin filled with clean water, the whole basin of water gurgled and quickly froze and bulged under the action of magic, and a small ice pillar with sharp and hideous ice stood up, and a small frozen altar was set up in the room.
On top of the icicle of the altar, a fist-sized cloud of strange light showed a fierce Qilu demon head like an ice ant, and its yawning voice: "Heh~~~~" It rubbed its gem-like compound eyes that glowed blue and said, "It's been a long time." If you have business to do, hurry up, we are in the process of reshuffling, and maybe I will be transferred away. It's best to do a quick business, I can't be the master of big deals. β
Dong Hezi asked: "Didn't you just say that you broke the big leader last year, how to adjust the team?" Why is it reorganized now?Is it getting it again?" Seeing Chirumo Hudson, he yawned again and said, "It's been changed early, last time that guy had already fallen to the mechanical fraternity next to him." Hahaha~~~ When he came to power, he tossed and scooped us grassroots clerks ruthlessly, looking quite bold, what happened in the end? Hahahaha~~~Alas~~~ Now it's the top of the top to engage in centralized management, reduce intermediate links, and reduce middle-level leadership positions. Shoehorn seven or eight departments into one department, and then cut the leadership position. Alas~~~ So, everyone is fighting for the remaining positions, fighting for treatment and power, and basically no one cares about major events. Okay, okay, you can talk about it, I'm very busy. β
