Chapter 1254 Money, Materials, Production

They chatted slowly along a huge channel-like 'avenue of flowers', flanked by a stepped 'channel slope', about three stories high, planted with strange flowers of purple or gold, blue or green, or finely cut shrubs about one story high, or a bright golden flower the size of a palm. Everyone stood between the huge channels and looked up at the colorful plants on both sides, as if small insects were walking in the ravines and looking up at the lush flowers and plants on both sides. Sure enough, it's a 'flower avenue'.

But the road was not on the ground, but in the midst of a towering royal court, 60 feet above the ground! The project is so vast that ordinary people can hardly imagine! The king of an ordinary country would not dare to imagine it!

In the face of this extravagant and gorgeous project, the Pastor Magellan had to pat himself on the back: "Your Majesty's garden and the royal court are outstanding in the world, and we have never seen them in many countries, and they are really magnificent! The king, who walked with his head held high, said a cool word: "When this royal court was first built, your Apolis Association also made great efforts, and if they hadn't arranged for many large structures to help me build it, it would not have been able to build it to the scale it is today." You are meritorious~~~~ It's a pity that there may not be such a wonderful opportunity for cooperation in the future. ”

He wanted to reveal his message to the Reverend Magellan and ask him to tell the Apolis Society and let them imagine a solution for themselves. And the Reverend Magellan was already a little surprised and asked: "Why did Your Majesty say this? The Apolis Association is willing to work with His Majesty for thousands of years." Is something going to happen?"

The Sun King said with a smile what had been discussed in the court yesterday, and the old priest of the church next to him explained: "Your Majesty has rewarded the Apolis Society with many properties, but they have mismanaged it, and it is difficult for them to contribute to the country, and they have wasted a lot of financial resources. The minister's intention is to market some of the industries and give them to other mage associations, so that a competitive relationship can be formed, and they can better contribute to the country. You are also an Orthodox person, and you know these things, right?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

But the Reverend Magellan just asked, "Demolish it to other people, and then let them operate freely?" When the officials buy the structure, they bid for it and bid for each other?" The Sun King replied, "Exactly." You've seen this happen before? I've heard it works very well. But the Reverend Magellan suddenly asked, "What if after the demolition of the Apolis Society's property, the buyers take the things and do something else?"

The Sun King was also stunned: "They~~~they~~~ Configurations are a very lucrative industry, they won't be so stupid." But Reverend Magellan shook his head and said, "The profits are high, and the production process is also complicated, especially when it comes to strong and sturdy mechanical structures, most of which are the mages of the Apolis Society. Once their property is demolished, they take away important people as soon as they get angry. The rest of the empty shell foundries, mines, and so on can't form a real structure production system! The others took these, and at best made bulky stone golems. How can such a thing compete with something like Apollis Society?"

The Sun King hesitated for a moment, no one had asked him these questions. Next to him, the Reverend Magellan continued: "Not to mention the bidding, if the bidding is fake, then there will be a bunch of collusion between officials and businessmen, and a bunch of inferior products will be recruited at that time, and the Apolis Society, which can provide high-quality products, has been robbed of its industry, and its productivity is insufficient, and it is difficult to provide enough high-quality products." How can we compensate for the danger that arises? If it is a real bidding process, the profit will continue to decline. Why should people continue to make laborious structures? It's better to turn these industries to something else, or just sell them for a lot of money!"...,

The Sun King frowned: "Then order them not to get my industry to do anything else! I want them to only produce structures!" But when he saw Reverend Magellan, he smiled lightly: "Then why bother to break it up into a big pile? Just keep it to the Apolis Society, and you can just order it? Not to mention that if they give the order, if they use the excuse of insufficient production capacity, bad raw materials, etc., they will make some random transactions, and the real industry will be used for other things." How do you supervise? How do you know how much they can and can't produce? How do you evaluate them? Are the officials reliable in their abilities and plain habits? Even if they are, do they have the time and energy to play cat and mouse with the wealthy businessmen in various places?"

The Sun King's confidence was suddenly shaken, and he heard Reverend Magellan's in-depth analysis: "What's more, isn't this split about 'marketization'? It's already marketized, how can you force those people to continue to produce structures? If so, is it still 'marketization'?"

The Sun King, who stopped his steps, frowned and groaned: "But the Apolis Association is also too disappointing! It is not the first time that I actually smuggle something from me is tantamount to stealing my pocket! I can't sit idly by!" Next to Magellan, he said to himself: There are many people who steal your pockets! How many of your officials have already stolen? They play the trick of thieves shouting to catch thieves and betraying their peers.

He immediately said: "What is money? It is money, and what is the carrier of money used to exchange goods and services, but only materials and services can constitute a real production system? Bargaining and adapting to each other, etc., must be adjusted for a long time to form a complex mode of operation, and then this mode of operation will take the money and currency given by His Majesty to exchange materials, and turn them into structures to supply His Majesty to defend the country internally and defend the enemy outside. Now the problem is between this mode of operation and His Majesty: the material-product exchange process. What His Majesty wants to do is not here, but to start with that set of operation mode. If you have a sore on your thigh, but you have to have an operation on your spine, isn't it willing to go far?"

The old priest of the Sun Church next to him couldn't help but interject: "Marketization is the only way to have vitality." Wouldn't it be better for you, the Apolis Society, now to be unenterprising, and to divide the excess into more enterprising societies?" Ignoring him, the Reverend Magellan drew a sketch of a house and its foundations on the ground, and explained to the Sun King: "Goods and services are the basis of the system of production, just as masonry is the foundation of the house. But a house is not equal to masonry, and a production system is not equal to goods and services. Just as currency can be used to exchange goods and services, currency itself cannot be eaten by hunger, thirsty by thirst, or warmed by cold. It is money that is not equal to goods and services. Money, materials, and production systems are related to each other and are different, and each layer is more complex than the other, and the law of money cannot be used to rigidly set material services, and the law of material services cannot be used to rigidly set the 'production system'. However, for a society and a country, the most important and complex thing is the 'production system'. ”

"Today, Apolis uses materials from mines, smelters, foundries and other industries as bricks and stones, and builds a production system for His Majesty. It's a pity that now the house is bloated and cracked, and it occupies a lot of industrial materials, but the masonry is ventilated everywhere. He felt that he could not afford it, so he had to remove the bricks and stones of the mines, smelters, foundries and other industries to build new houses. His majesty wanted to tear down half of the old house, thinking of replacing it with a new small house with the demolished bricks and stones. But your Majesty, this is not a monetary transaction! You tear down half of the old house, and the rest will generally be intact? I'm afraid that when the storm comes, the remaining half will also collapse! Your Majesty, the bricks and stones you have demolished can be turned into a new house at once? This is not a currency exchange, and it is not a matter of reversing the hand! Are the new people who are able to make these bricks and stones into a better house than the original? Looking around, who is capable of completing such a job? If it cannot be completed, someone else will take it? Under the guise of marketization, he bought these bricks and stones, and made money to slap his ass and flash people. They are energetic, the market is prosperous, but who is going to ask for a house? It's easy to tear down stones, but it's hard to build a house! Who has better technology and control than the Apolis Association? "Is there now?...,?"

The Sun King was silent, and now he really didn't, but he still said: "But the Apolis Association is too strict with ink greed~~~" But he heard the pastor Magellan next to him start to come up with an idea: "No matter how strict it is, it's just a family, and the monks can't run the temple." There is only one object of management, and any problem is the responsibility of one family! Majesty only manages this one goal, which is simple and clear! Take it in hand, you can directly manage and control it, and it is not difficult to get to the end when necessary. If its industry is torn down, then there will be a bunch of associations, merchants, and chaotic owners, and many miscellaneous targets for management, and there will be a lot of reasons for being managed.

The Sun King somewhat understands that he is just a person in the end, and the fewer management goals the better, and if there are more, he can't manage it. This is a natural limitation in management, and there is no way to do it at present. I heard Pastor Magellan continue to mutter: "What will happen to those who buy and sell things to snake people? What if they even secretly sell them to traitors for profit?

The Sun King's eyes tightened, and he already had a plan: "I understand, but the internal affairs of the Apolis Association are chaotic, and I will send competent people to strictly control them! Tell them to prepare the account books! If there is any concealment, don't blame me for the severe punishment!!"
