"If you want to be rich, build roads first."

Zhou Zhenwen replied without hesitation: "Convenient transportation is the first priority for economic development. ”

"Why can Suzhou and Hangzhou City be rich?"

"In addition to the fact that I have leveraged a lot of money and done a good job in publicity, the most important thing is that Suzhou and Hangzhou City is located in the main road of north-south transportation, with developed water transportation and natural geographical advantages."

"Why did I choose Suhang City instead of Shiyan City and Jiufeng City?"

"That's why!!"

"The original Suzhou-Hangzhou City, although the economy is good, is far inferior to the capital and other important towns, but after the reform, the economy of Suzhou-Hangzhou City far exceeds that of other cities, even if it is the capital, it is not comparable."

"That's the difference."

Zhou Zhenwen said slowly.

"Traffic?"

"Build roads?"

Liu Qing is very smart and talented, and immediately understood what Zhou Zhenwen meant.

If the country wants to be rich, it must develop commerce, develop commerce, and promote the circulation of goods, and the most important thing is the road.

Convenient transportation is the first element of success.

And being rich does not mean being strong!!

But if you want the country to be strong, you can't do it without money.

In the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to take the road of foreign conquest!!

Only self-development, taking advantage of the time when the world is now shocked by the hidden power of the Great Wilderness and dare not make a mistake, rapid development is the king!!

"Lord Zhou, the road has been repaired, but if you want to get rich, it's not enough to have a road, right?" Liu Qing asked again.

"What do you think can be done to make the country's wealth grow rapidly?" Zhou Zhenwen asked rhetorically.

Liu Qing knows very well that this is an assessment, and during this time, Zhou Zhenwen often uses rhetorical questions to assess her and test her learning results!!

"Reform, change, trade." Liu Qing replied without hesitation.

"Why?" Zhou Zhenwen said.

"The success of Suzhou and Hangzhou City proves that the group of businessmen has a strong value-added ability, according to what you said, business and finance are the most amazing things in the world, as long as the soil for the development of capital is given, it can be like a wild beast, sweeping the whole world, turning everyone into a monster of desire and greed!!"

"Therefore, if you want to make the Great Wilderness rich, you must open the floodgates and release the water, let the monster of capital run out, encourage businessmen to increase their value wildly, arouse their desires, and give them status!!"

After studying these days, Liu Qing did not have the slightest doubt about what Zhou Zhenwen said.

Suzhou and Hangzhou City is a paradise for businessmen and a paradise for the rich.

Because everything is for the service of capital, and if you have money, you are a superior person, and you can enjoy unimaginable glory and wealth.

Within the scope of the rules, the services enjoyed by the merchants are sublimated in the extreme!!

Far beyond the outside world!!

The Great Wilderness has always been the value system of Shinong, Industry and Commerce.

Now we must vigorously develop commerce and improve the status of businessmen, businessmen already have money, and if they are given status, there will inevitably be a situation in which businessmen will violate the law and do evil!!

"Since ancient times, chivalry has violated the ban with martial arts, Confucianism has violated the law with literature, and businessmen have pursued profits, the first two, because of their status and self-sustaining bravery, have often made waves, and they have made trouble, and businessmen have never been suppressed because they have been suppressed, so they have never committed anything to make trouble......"

Zhou Zhenwen said indifferently: "However, once the imperial court lets go of the suppression of merchants and allows them to grow savagely, the final result will inevitably be unimaginable." ”

"The power of money is a flood beast, and without macro-control at the national level, the final result will definitely be a situation where water can carry a boat and capsize a boat."

"Not to mention other people, as long as the imperial court dares to let go, I dare to control 50% of the country's money and silver in my own name, and at that time, the great famine will not be the great famine of the imperial court, but my word."

"It's not about force, it's just economic, it has the ability to manipulate a country."

Hearing this, Liu Qing frowned slightly, and then stretched out: "If Lord Zhou you become the head of the merchants, then the great wilderness will not be worry-free!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhou Zhenwen was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Liu Qing to say such a thing: "Why? ”

"With Lord Zhou's talent, if you want to do something, you can do it a long time ago, so why do you need to do it secretly?" Liu Qing smiled slightly, "During this period of study, Liu Qing has benefited a lot from studying here in Lord Zhou, the talent of Lord Zhou is like the light of the bright moon, shining in the endless night sky, the moon covers the stars, the glory is eternal, the bits and pieces of Suzhou and Hangzhou City, there are almost no mistakes and omissions, and the depth of the layout is jaw-dropping." ”

"It's as if the town that once existed was recreated by Lord Zhou, all kinds of legal terms, all kinds of construction ideas, it's hard to imagine, this is all created by Lord Zhou alone......"

"When the manpower is finally exhausted, I am not an immortal, so I naturally learn from others." Zhou Zhenwen shook his head and said softly.

"Even so, I still think that with Lord Zhou's ability, it is still no problem to control the money and silver of the whole country......," Liu Qing said softly, "Once, I thought that because of Lord Zhou's cabinet chief, Lord Zhou had such a strong influence, but now I find out that I was wrong, because the cabinet chief assistant is Lord Zhou, so the cabinet chief assistant has such a strong influence." ”

"At this moment, who is the first assistant of the Great Wilderness Cabinet?"

"Who in the world knows?"

Oh, yes!

It's not because the cabinet chief assistant is powerful, but because you Zhou Zhenwen are powerful, so it seems that the cabinet chief assistant is powerful!!

In essence, isn't the first person in the cabinet to be the first member of the cabinet?

The power of the cabinet is not also given by the emperor.

The power of the cabinet is far less than that of the former prime minister, prime minister, and prime minister, which is a much weaker existence, and even has no right to seal, so there is cooperation with the eunuch party, and the two are integrated, so that there can be the power of approving red and stamping, and exercising imperial power.

In the hands of Zhou Zhenwen, the power of the first assistant of the cabinet is almost overbearing!!

"In these notes, I have already given advice to Your Majesty."

"My suggestion is to combine the current situation, adapt measures to local conditions, combine the revival of Reiki with the business model, and open up the status of businessmen, because in the future, businessmen cannot dominate power, they can only become vassals of power, and any policies and regulations are time-sensitive, why carry out reforms?"

"It's not because the policy is wrong, it's not because the policy is not good enough, but because of the changes of the times, the same management will only lead to endless disasters!"

"Therefore, the road to change lies in revising policies and regulations, moving from time to time, and revising at all times, so as to achieve basic fairness."

"At the time of the founding of the country, all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, the people had just experienced war, knew that food was not easy, knew the preciousness of peace, and knew the preciousness of life.

"But now with the changes of the times, today's people, not only the pursuit of filling their stomachs, but also hope to live a better life, have power and status, although the poor people, still poor, but also have a different voice, young people have seen the world, will they go back to farming?"

"Why do you want to open the imperial examination?"

"Isn't it just to create room for the people to rise?"

"Instead of sealing the upward channel, so that the nobility will always be the aristocracy and the poor will always be the poor?"

"In any country, the biggest contradiction is always the contradiction between the rich and the poor, the class contradiction, and the core of the reform of the law is to reduce these contradictions, ensure the stability of the country, and let the basic fairness continue, which is also to protect the aristocratic class."

"But no one wants their interests to be damaged, and the aristocratic class whose interests are damaged is the biggest obstacle to changing the law."

"That's realistic!!"

"But if you don't change the law, the lessons of the previous dynasty are in front of you."

"If you can't live, there's only one way left......"

Liu Qing bowed slightly, she also understood this truth during this period of reading, and many times, she also felt helpless about this dark world!!

But there is no way, even the emperor cannot completely reverse this situation.

Why?

Because the emperor and the imperial family are the largest aristocratic class, they are the rulers, and what they defend is their own ruling interests.

How can a man cut himself and divide his flesh and blood among others?

It's impossible.

Even if one day, he did it, it was just an illusion!

In order to continue the dominance......
