And it is the "silver" that supports and maintains the ship, and only when the people at the helm above are well can the ship sail well. ”

"Zhang Yanghao of the previous dynasty once said, 'Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. If the people are suffering, why should we pay so much attention to them?'

Han Lu said, "Where did you learn this crooked reasoning!"

Lin Shuiyue sighed and said: "Is this a crooked reason? In your eyes, you don't know what the people want, what you wanted at the beginning was to rob the rich and help the poor, and do the right thing for heaven, yes, this is indeed the quality that a chivalrous person should have, but you didn't solve it from the root." ”

Han Lu asked viciously, "What are you going to say?"

Lin Shuiyue said: "If you give those people silver, will they be able to get rich and live a good life? What you have changed is just a temporary wealth." ”

"It's the same for everyone, why do some people eat and clothe while others cut back on food. The real reason is that the ideas are different, the beggars only have leftovers in their eyes, while those in power have thousands of miles in their eyes. The vision is different, and they can't change anything from Ben. ”

"You give the money to the poor people, and they are so accustomed to living a hard life that they only want to keep the silver and use it when they need it, instead of trying to make this ingot two ingots and two ingots into four ingots, and of course there is a problem with experience. ”

"The poor think about how long a silver bar can be spent, while the rich think about how much silver is spent today. ”

"Do you think those boys are just spending money to see me perform? My show is just a show, their real purpose is to get together. ”

Han Lu looked at her and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about, I don't quite understand." Although the smell of gunpowder on the lips of the two of them was greatly reduced, the hands and feet became worse.

Lin Shuiyue laughed and said: "Of course you don't understand, all you think about is how much silver you stole and how many people you give it to." And I think about how many people I can save last time. ”

Han Lu scolded: "You don't talk nonsense, those businessmen and eunuchs will only oppress the people, and you still say that you saved the people?"

Lin Shuiyue said: "No wonder you live in this kind of house, you still don't understand, my performance is to provide them with an opportunity to get together, and they have a legitimate reason to come." The drunkard does not mean to drink, although those men are lustful, but they are also smart, I know a thousand taels every time I perform, and those who can afford this price are either rich or expensive. ”

"It's not a businessman on the rich side, or an official who has ups and downs in the sea. They can be mutually beneficial, and I provide them with the opportunity to get to know each other mutually beneficial. ”

"No matter who they are, as long as they are people, they have to spend silver, as long as they spend money, they have to find a way to earn silver, and the silver of the officials comes from taxes, money, and courtesies, and the silver of the merchants comes from doing business. ”

"Shang is a very interesting profession, Shang is everywhere, merchants are big enough to deal in silk porcelain, salt and iron. It is as small as the merchants walking the streets and alleys, and the stalls selling steamed buns on the street. They are all businessmen, and business is the lifeblood that drives the economy of the whole country. ”

"Silver exists because of merchants, and if there are no merchants, then silver has no value. ”

Han Lu snorted coldly and said: "You say that there is no meaning in this, although silver is to serve commerce, but what does this have to do with saving the people, businessmen will only raise prices, lower costs, maximize their own interests, and do their best to squeeze the people." ”

Lin Shuiyue didn't refute, she said: "Yes, what you said is right, this is the nature of a businessman." If you don't squeeze the next level, then where will the profits of the merchants come from?"

"The simplest bun is six cents, and its principal is three cents, if it is not to earn the rest of the three cents, no one will be so thankless. So is the owner of the steamed bun shop squeezing, and the people who buy the steamed buns?"

Han Lu was silent, although the money was very small, but what Lin Shuiyue said was very right, sometimes people would ignore small things, such as a bun sold for six yuan, and the actual cost of his production was only three yuan. And for every steamed bun sold, the owner of the steamed bun shop can earn twice as much.

This is just a small bun stall, what if it is a big deal? A good thing is worth three taels of silver, but if you sell it, you will get six taels, and you will take the principal of three taels, and he will make a net profit of three taels of silver.

So, what about thirty taels, three hundred taels, three thousand taels?

Han Lu didn't dare to imagine.

Han Lu said, "What you said doesn't make any sense. This doesn't change anything, and the people are still being oppressed by these businessmen. Han Lu took advantage of the water and moon to distract herself, she secretly mobilized her internal force and approached her tightly.

Lin Shuiyue is not to be outdone, the two of them are now secretly competing for internal strength.

Although Lin Shuiyue is strong, Han Lu is not a vegetarian, in addition to her original martial arts, she has also learned a lot of miscellaneous learning from Gongsun Wunian over the years, after all, the once great compassion has fallen into her hands.

In the competition of internal strength alone, the two of them were evenly matched, but Lin Shuiyue did not go all out, and she didn't want to tell her secret to those who were not insiders, especially the woman in front of her.

Lin Shuiyue said: "But at the same time as squeezing them, it also saves them, the formation of a business must need the support of other businesses, and any business is connected by a network of various dogs. ”

"He still sells steamed buns, he just makes steamed buns, and he also needs to buy the materials needed to make steamed buns, flour, pork, and even firewood. ”

"If there is a demand, then someone will sell, and since someone buys, then there will be money to be made. Doesn't that save the people?"

"A man who sells steamed buns saves the farmer, the butcher, and the woodcutter. That's what feeds the three of them. Am I wrong?"

When Han Lu heard the farmer, she snorted coldly and said, "I think he is supporting the landlord! The tenants pay the rent every year, and there is not much left, and it is already good to be able to make a living, where is there still surplus grain to sell? They are just squeezing the labor of the farmers and tenants. Let them sweat in vain to feed those people. In the end, even if you are tired to death, you are tired to death for others. ”

Lin Shuiyue shook her head at this time.

Han Lu asked, "What do you mean? Am I not right? No wonder you, a young lady from a scholarly family, know the hardships of our peasant families." You will only drink our blood and collect rent from us. ”
