Chapter 80 Mr. Lin, What is Cash-for-Work?

Zhu Fan smiled and did not deny it.

After following Lin Che for so long, he didn't learn much other knowledge, but his skin was a lot thicker.

If you don't understand, just ask, anyway, in front of the knowledgeable Mr. Lin, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

With Zhu Fan's perseverance, Lin Che compromised:

"Okay, okay, don't clip it anymore, I didn't see that our bowl was full of dishes!"

"Don't you just want to listen? There's no need to fix all this. ”

"Go back and sit down, let's tell you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Fan was suddenly overjoyed and sat back in a hurry.

"That's right!"

"Mr. Lin, you say, let's not bother you!"

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang next door was also laughed at:

"Second child, this little bastard! This spirit of perseverance is like the seed of our old Zhu family! ”

"Not to mention, his stalking really works for Mr. Lin."

Zhu Biao on the side heard this, smiled, and didn't know how to answer.

The second brother of his own family is good or bad, and he doesn't know which of the following sentences, which made his father angry and wanted to take the jade belt to draw people.

"Then we'll move on."

Lin Che put down the wine cup in his hand, leaned back, made himself comfortable, and asked himself:

"What does this culture depend on? Circulate. ”

"What does this economic development depend on? Or circulation. ”

"Both are developed and disseminated through circulation."

After a pause, Lin Che continued:

"Once anything loses its circulation and remains unchanged, the result is inevitably defeat and perdition."

"It is said that the two Song Dynasty are the weakest dynasty in China and the most humiliating dynasty."

"But it is undeniable that the two Song Dynasty have done a remarkable job in terms of cultural and economic circulation."

"Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty was a rare prosperous city in the world at that time, with developed commerce and millions of urban residents."

"The curfew in Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty has also been lifted, and the Bianjing Night Market is even more lively. Every night, the streets are lit up with lights and singing and dancing. ”

"The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is a vivid depiction of the prosperity of Bianjing."

Lin Che glanced at Zhu Fan, who was listening intently to the class, and then continued:

"The prosperity of Bianjing is not only a gathering place for Song people, but also attracts a large number of wealthy aliens, who come to Bianjing to eat, drink and enjoy the beauty of Central Plains culture."

"As more and more people live in Bianjing, consumption here also rises, and it is easier for ordinary people to do some small business, and life will naturally become richer."

"The common people's life has become richer, and the cultural life has also improved, such as opera, acrobatics, and performances."

"Economic development promotes cultural development, and the development of culture promotes economic development, and the two complement each other."

"It can be said that no one can compare with our Huaxia when comparing culture."

"After that, the Meng Yuan replaced the Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty, as a grassland people, the Yuan chieftain was worried about the Han rebellion, so he reinstated the curfew system, which is to turn back the clock in history."

"The subsequent series of manipulations by the Mengyuan regime drove Chinese culture into the abyss, and thus prevented the vigorous development of the economy."

"The economic tragedy at the end of the Yuan Dynasty is still vivid."

Speaking of this, Lin Che sighed deeply:

"However, in the Ming Dynasty, instead of learning a lesson, the current emperor has intensified."

"It's incomprehensible!"

"After all, Meng Yuan is a foreign race, a foreign invader in China, and the Central Plains are all his enemies, so it is understandable that he is worried about the Han rebellion and adopts a curfew!"

"But what is the emperor afraid of today?"

"The Han people are orthodox, and the country is the most upright, no one is the Ming Dynasty!"

"What is he afraid of?"

A word fell to the ground, and the birds were silent.

Zhu Fan was stunned on the spot, and Zhu Yuanzhang next door was even more dumbfounded and speechless.

A small curfew system can cause so many reactions and affect the lifeblood of the country's economy.

Or even indirectly led to the demise of the country?

It's terrifying!

Zhu Yuanzhang got up from the chair with difficulty, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

The other side.

"Mr. Lin..."

Zhu Fan looked at Lin Che with shock in his eyes, and said cautiously:

"Is there a possibility, I say hypothetical!"

"Curfews have existed since ancient times, especially in times of war and calamity..."

"Right now, our Ming Dynasty is not long ago, and the country is not stable enough, so when everything is on the right track, maybe there will be no curfew?"

The voice did not fall.

Lin Che smiled, looked at Zhu Fan and sneered:

"Don't lie to yourself!"

"Do you think that's possible?"

"I talked about the household registration system before, and let the people engage in one industry for life, which is the best proof."

"You are a military household, you have already violated the law of the country by robbing the jobs of merchants and going out to set up stalls to do some small business!"

"Do you understand!"

"This shows that the current emperor did not take it into consideration, but made a decision after careful consideration."

Lin Che took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and spread his hands and said:

"What a good way to make money by abolishing curfews and cashing out work?"

"While vigorously promoting Han culture, it can also develop the economy and give the people an additional channel to earn money..."

"It's a pity that the emperor can't see it."

Hearing this, Zhu Fan was still a little confused, it was just a new term that attracted his attention.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by cash-for-work?"

"Does a curfew have such a big impact?"

"The more I listen, the more confused I become!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Fan didn't forget to add a few words and squeaked his son:

"Our emperor's vision is already problematic, and it's not a day or two..."

"Don't be angry!"

“… Well, it is estimated that there is no such possibility when the emperor is hired, but when the crown prince ascends the throne and inherits the throne, it should be about the same. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Zhu Biao: "??? ”

Lin Che didn't pay attention to Zhu Zhang's words, and explained:

"Cash-for-work is a new term for you, but it's not new."

"As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was already in use."

"To put it simply, the imperial court arranges some infrastructure construction, and the common people participate in these constructions, get paid for their labor, and directly let the common people earn money to support themselves."

"This is different from the court directly giving money to the people, but letting the people exchange their labor for payment."

"How much money can be sent by the imperial court?"

"In the end, it's not just a drop in the bucket, but also a bunch of lazy idlers."

"What's the point of the court doing this?"

Looking at Zhu Fan with a bewildered face, Lin Che said helplessly:

"So, you still don't understand, then let's give a few examples, you should understand after listening."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a drought in the country of Qi, and the doctor Yanzi asked the king of Qi to distribute food to relieve the victims, but the king of Qi did not agree."

"At this time, he was preparing to build a huge altar and ask for rain to be sacrificed to the heavens."

"Yan Zi saw that the King of Qi was resolute, so he asked the King of Qi for this errand and was responsible for building the altar."

"At the same time, it was ordered that the people who built the altar must hire the victims of the disaster, and deliberately expanded the scale of construction to delay the completion date."

"The altar that could have been built in a few months was repaired by Yanzi for more than a year."

"By the time the altar was delivered, the drought was over and the victims had been saved."

"This is what I said above, the imperial court funded the construction, hired the common people to participate in the construction, and directly fed these ordinary people."

"Isn't that much clearer?"

Hearing this, Zhu Fan suddenly realized:

"So this is cash-for-work!"

"You have such an example, you can understand it at once!"
