132. The art of extravagance
"Those who eat and drink, those who enjoy luxury, and those who want to do what they want, can use it if they want!"
"If the people were clothed with animal skins, and with horns, and ate wild grass, and drank wild water, how could they use them?"
"Taste the food, listen to the music, the princes and nobles do extravagant things, despise the real things, and fancy the useless things, then the corn price is cheap and the pearl jade is expensive, and the people can eat the corn at a low price, and they can wear cheap and beautiful clothes, and do what they want, so that they can be loyal to the country. β
Bo Yi stood in front of Li Hou, spitting stars flying wildly.
Li Hou raised his head in astonishment and looked at Bo Yi with a serious face.
Who are you? I don't know you! Why do you come up and squirt?
Zishou was confused, how could this extravagant style become a good thing? Bo Yi didn't want any discipline at all?
However, Shang Rong, Yang Ren and the others were thoughtful, and Dong Bohou, who was diligent in political affairs, seemed to have an understanding, and Ji Chang also bowed his head slightly, pricking up his ears and listening carefully to Boyi's words.
Bo Yi cleared his throat, and when Taile was collecting the scores, he had not forgotten to think about the meaning of the wine pond and meat forest, and just half a month ago, he finally understood.
Bo Yi said loudly: "Today, the nobles and princes think that they have nothing to accumulate wealth and wait for something, this is also a fallacy, the princes and nobles should take out a large amount of money and consume, decorate the carriages and horses to their heart's content, and enjoy more wine and liquor, so as not to leave regrets." β
"Nowadays, there is a recipe for making wild fruits and a method for raising livestock, and doing such extravagant things can prompt the people to make wine and raise livestock, and promote agricultural production. β
"The income of the territory is not hoarded in the treasury, when the presiding over its affairs, collect the property to meet the needs, if not to meet the needs of the money, then should be put in the market to accumulate profits, sometimes the income is less and less, sometimes it can accumulate more and more, this profit is impermanent, but it can prosper the place, the people have nothing else to want, only heavy profits, up and down, only mercenary, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, the copper money is new, there is wealth and then can circulate, there is circulation and then can prosper the place, if the princes and nobles are hidden in the house, do not spend or enjoy, then the wealth is sluggish and the transaction is not smooth, the people are inaccessible, and the people are miserableγ β
"The princes and nobles built pavilions and attics to make the poor work, decorated the palatial mansions to make the carving and painting craftsmen work, made huge coffins to make the carpenters work, wore gorgeous silk clothes, and the maids worked hard, and not only that, but there were also all kinds of sacrificial articles, all kinds of ceremonial guards, and all kinds of funerary objects, so that the people could work to make a living. β
"Minister, Bo Yi respectfully, instead of giving people wealth and food, it is better to do extravagant things, so that people can get something from their labor, and they will do their own thing, which is said to be free of internal and external troubles!"
"Your Majesty Shengming, the wine pond meat forest is really the way to govern the country, and if the people are rich, they can make it, and the world will be safe!"
Zishou was stunned by Boyi's remarks.
Extravagance and richness to govern the country?
I finally used the wine pond meat forest to brew the extravagance of the government and the opposition, and you can also give the circle back?
And.... That sounds like it's true.
"Jiang Huan Chu, the marquis of the Eastern Minister, is willing to respect His Majesty's will, do extravagant things, enrich the people of the territory, and calm the hearts of the people. β
The calm and capable Jiang Huan Chu came out of the ranks and directly dropped a bombshell, Dong Bohou is a relative of the emperor and the head of the princes of the four towns.
In fact, he had just turned his back to express his dissatisfaction because of the extravagance and Xia Wei's matter proposed by Li Hou, and he felt a little too much even with his status and status.
But after listening to Boyi's remarks, think about it carefully, isn't this exactly what the king of Xuan is trying to persuade them to go with extravagance?
As a diligent prince, Jiang Huan Chu was well aware of the situation of the common people and nobles.
Not all the people in the world make a living from farming, and many craftsmen have to rely on the princes and nobles to survive.
The common people have no money to spare, and only the princes and nobles will buy new clothes and add beautiful decorations.
If the princes are frugal, what will these craftsmen rely on to survive?
Only when the princes and nobles are extravagant and enjoy it, can they spread the method of making fruit wine and raising livestock, can they circulate copper coins, and can they let the people work and gain from their labor, and can they live and work in peace and contentment.
Zishou used the vision of his later generations to think about it for a while before he understood what Boyi meant.
This is economics!
Extravagance is to develop the economy, expand industry and commerce, provide employment opportunities, and improve people's livelihood!
In fact, the most important thing is that because commerce did not rise at this time, copper coins had just appeared, how could there be any merchants? There was only a vague concept.
Therefore, a large amount of money is now in the hands of the princes and nobles, and the gap between the rich and the poor is more terrible than that of later generations, because there is a direct fault in the middle.
This extravagant technique is clearly to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and calm social contradictions!
Zishou felt that the mediocrity of this settlement period was getting farther and farther away from him.
"Ministers XXX are willing to respect His Majesty's will and do extravagant things...."
After Jiang Huan Chu came out of the ranks, one prince after another figured it out and stood up one after another to express His Majesty's sage.
Even Guzhu Jun, who was disappointed in Boyi, was overjoyed, but he still felt that Boyi was not suitable to be the king of Guzhu.
can understand the extravagant skills of the king of Zhou, Boyi is obviously more suitable for entering the court as an official and governing the world of big business, rather than a small corner of the lonely bamboo country.
There were even a small number of princes who admired from the bottom of their hearts, and as a prince, of course they had to use the best food and clothing! Who brought the millet? Eating meat and drinking wine can be full!
Bo Yi said it well, why don't you enjoy the money but be thrifty? When you are about to die, you find that you have been guarding the treasury all your life, and you have never eaten good food or worn fancy clothes, isn't it suffocating to death?
Some of the princes ate meat and drank as if the more they ate and the more they drank, they could prove how competent they were.
Of course, there are still some princes who do not think about it, and the extravagance is unheard of and absurd!
Li Hou on the ground felt that he should say something, and forced himself to argue: "This sophistry is the same in ancient times and today, the Holy King regards diligence and thrift as beauty, how can he come to the fallacy of extravagant governance?!"
Bo Yi's eyes were fierce: "The sky is the same at the same time, and the people are the same?
Person.... It's really different.
"When Yao Shun, the forest people in the mountains can be cut down at will, the aquatic products in the river people can be salvaged countless at will, the land is sparsely populated, the cattle and horses do not meet each other, the customs do not know each other, not more than a hundred miles can meet the needs of life, everyone cultivates to self-support, and the rest is for the king, so the world is peaceful, so that the gold of Kunwu is buried deep in the ground and no one mines. β
"Nowadays, it is difficult to cut down forests, aquatic products are difficult to fish, the land is valuable, the population is increasing, the life is dilapidated and poor, and the food is insufficient.
Li Hou was speechless by Bo Yi, his eyes rolled, and he made another strange move: "Ancient and modern people are different, yes, there was no trouble in Xirong in ancient times, and now Xirong is powerful, and it is good to marry with extravagant gold and silver, and pay it with tribute in the year, which can calm the border trouble!"
Bo Yi was stunned by Li Hou's change of thinking, he was from the Northland, and he didn't know the stakes of Xirong at all, and he entered a blind spot.
He looked at the king, not knowing what to do.
He was startled, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes.
It seems like.... Seems to be out of breath?
Zishou was expressionless and stepped forward silently.
Li Hou still fell to the ground with tortoise shells.
There is a sword in his hand, and the name of the sword is Tai'a.
If you want to be a faint king, in addition to attracting people to attack with ridiculous deeds, you can also lift a three-foot sword and kill the person you want to kill.
Li Hou made friends with Xirong in and out of his words, and also said that he would pay the annual tribute.
Yes, Xirong is strong, and Xiqi Jichang can only be beaten passively.
But faint gentleman, you have to do whatever you want.
