Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"It's just that the Jingzhou Grain Club came to say hello the day before, and our family sells up to 500 catties a day, not much!"
Li Zhaochang asked: "Where is the ticket?"
"Included, it must also be collected first. ”
Boss Li slapped the handrail hard, and scolded in his mouth: "A ** businessman!"
The proprietor of Lai, who said this in anger, forgot that he hoarded grain in a famine year, and it was a common method for grain merchants to reduce prices in a good year. It's a pity that in the past few decades, the "wind and rain" everywhere have made these grain merchants less manipulative.
The world has been peaceful for 300 years, and seventy or eighty percent of the people in the world who died in the battle of the sky have recuperated and recuperated, and the population is increasing day by day. And the land in this Kyushu has not grown with the geometric growth of the population, according to a certain master surnamed Ma, there should be a population crisis.
However, in the past hundred years, more and more quasi-immortal masters who have not embarked on the path of immortals, like Boss Li, have left the sect and returned to the world. Originally, ordinary people were out of reach, spells, spells, immortal array pills, as long as someone was willing to spend money and resources, they could always find an "immortal master" to manipulate.
It is difficult to find good seeds, and if you use conservation and living techniques, old grains can grow in the next year.
The weather is not good? The clouds and rain spell are thought, and the wind and rain urge the weather to enter the warehouse.
Insects eat rats, and the creatures are cut off, and the thieves who steal and eat are dead.
If the soil is insufficient, if you sprinkle some pill residue, you can grow grain in the barren mountains and rocky mountains.
The small-scale peasant economy that relied on the sky for food became a large-scale agriculture that relied on the "immortal" harvest, and the land in this world was originally concentrated in the hands of sectarian families, but the demand for long-term and short-term labor of the tenants who originally participated in agriculture became less and less.
Especially in the three states of Jingyangliang, where the climate is warm and humid and suitable for plant growth, the extreme annual food is as cheap as sediment. It is only the Li family that has a small number of yeoman farmers who have a small number of yeoman farmers and a small number of yeoman farmers, and the number of yeoman farmers is getting smaller and smaller.
When there is no money to be made or even a loss in growing food, the owners of these lands either grow other cash crops or set their sights on other industries. Intentionally or unintentionally, this Xianxia version of "grain eating people" allowed unemployed and landless peasants to enter the industry and mines and become the vanguard of the proletariat......
When the invisible hand manipulated all parties and reached a certain balance, the price of grain naturally stabilized.
The perennial stability of grain prices has made these grain merchants start to engage in other industries, but now the heaven-sent opportunity, as they take the grain trade as their own business, they do not grasp it, and they also vainly claim to be "businessmen".
Jingnan Grain Association is a chamber of commerce that started with 12 large local grain merchants and integrated some local small grain merchants. Among them is Li Zhaochang's Li family grain store.
Behind these twelve grain merchants is a large local family known as the Thirteen Forts of Jingnan, in fact, this Tie family was also one of the Thirteen Forts back then. But they were not engaged in agriculture in the first place, and the Tie family now felt that they were already a "state-level" wealthy family, so they didn't get along with these fellow villagers.
The ranking officials want to ask: Since the Jingnan Grain Bank can organize the local grain merchants together, does it not monopolize the grain market here and cannot grasp the final pricing power?
It is a pity that after the battle of the sky, Chixian Zhongzhou has always been in the state most admired by liberal economists, that is, in an absolute free market economy that is completely laissez-faire and unregulated by the government.
Chixian Zhongzhou is actually like a piece of cake that is not so round. It is surrounded by all kinds of desperate dangers, isolating it from the other eight continents.
Because of the natural demarcation of hydrology, geography and climate and the division of administrative regions that lasted for thousands of years in the previous dynasties, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou were naturally formed.
Except for Yuzhou in the middle, which is where Shenjing was located and bordered all the states, the rest of the Kyushu formed this big pie around Yuzhou. And the sesame seeds sprinkled on the cake are countless sects and clans.
How could this happen?
This is because after the extermination of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the people here are said to have unified the centralized government of Kyushu, and even a local force of the scale of the unified prefecture has not been established.
Of course, there are many reasons for this, first and foremost is the uneven situation between the forces of all parties after the war, and the experience of the previous dynasty is there, and no one wants to have more big brothers who can give orders to themselves on their heads.
After a great war that lasted for more than 500 years, all human beings, including the immortal masters, had a strong sense of weariness with war, and it was one thing to fight against the demon gods who used themselves as food slaves, and it was another thing to realize the political ambitions of someone, a certain family, and a certain sect. However, at that time, the highest combat power of the human race went to Kunlun, and after the incident, those great powers simply stayed there to comprehend the way of heaven.
Leaving a group of cats and dogs, no one obeys anyone, and no force can integrate the power to unify Kyushu. At that time, everyone's mentality was, if I can't get it, no one else wants to get it.
Great unification, that is hopeless.
Secondly, at that time, there were still many remnants of demon gods in Middle-earth, even those spirits who had not opened their minds, and their strength should not be underestimated. The human beings who have just gone through the war between man and god are still very united, and the antagonism between immortals and mortals is not as strict as it is today three hundred years later. Therefore, these immortal sects sent their disciples to stay outside the mountain gate to guard ordinary human beings.
This creates a problem, and none of those disciples are willing to go. Everyone can figure out this as soon as they think about it, and everyone wants to go to advanced countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, but some people in places like Africa and India are retreating. What's more, there is a high probability that this will deprive the door of the ascending passage.
In that case, let's simply divide it into sects and feudalism.
Either they split the sect and allow their disciples to set up a sect or simply set up their own sect. There are always people who would rather be the chicken first than the cow, so at that time, various sects sprung up in Kyushu. No one can count the sheer number of these sects, and they are collectively referred to as the Eight Hundred Side Sects.
Either that or that they were given to the disciples as private territory. There are also many people who know that they are hopeless and willing to spread out and establish mortal families, and they either return to their hometowns or choose areas with better conditions to recruit relatives to marry wives and have children, so as to continue their bloodline.
The result of this is that it didn't take long to wipe out most of the monsters in Kyushu, so that Chixian County truly became the home of mankind.
With so many "vassal states", why is it that no one wants to swallow others and increase their own power?
For example, around this Falling Star Lake, the Tie family was not the only one at the beginning. It is also a mixture of various means through guò over the past three hundred years. If you use the "above board" soft methods of marriage, succession, and acquisition, then no one will have anything to say. Even if you pretend to be a bandit or monster to destroy the door or assassinate important people, maybe the surrounding forces will pinch their noses and admit it.
But if you want to use the naked threat of force, or even go to war, it will be impossible. It's not all stupid, and the strength is strong enough to swallow this family, so won't it be your turn tomorrow?
What's more, everyone is from the Xianmen, even if they leave, they still have their own roots. What if you have a refining immortal in charge? Lao Tzu went back to the master and paid some price to invite a Jindan Earth Immortal to come.
Another major feature of the high-level martial arts world is that in high-level armed battles, the number of low-level armed forces is meaningless at all. No matter how many troops there are and how well equipped they are, in front of the immortal master, it is a group of ants. For example, if in the movie "Heroes", the combat power of the swordsmen is ten times higher, then Comrade Yingzheng should wash and sleep.
Here, the world is condemned, and this is not a joke.
In the end, the immortals of high-end armed forces really don't attach so much importance to political rights. It is really cool to order the world, how can it be compared to longevity and long-term care, and in addition, if you cultivate to the extreme, you still have a chance to get out of this world.
Immortal masters who can cultivate to the extreme depths themselves have some characteristics that are very different from ordinary people. Well, in other words, the spirit of a scientist. They are more concerned with the pursuit of "knowledge" than the power in the world.
With the disappearance of the common enemies of mankind, the demon gods. The intersection of the immortal gate and the mortal world is just to obtain the resources for cultivation and the enjoyment of life. This monk has a lot of means to obtain, so why waste time and energy to integrate the human world?
The four gods of Xuanwu, Qingyang, Nanli, and Xiji, which have survived since the Battle of the Heavens, are examples of this. They sit on a large Yuanshi ore vein, and there are countless children under them. It can be said that the money bag and the knife handle are all in your hand.
Over the years, these four sects and clans that have volunteered to serve have naturally accepted it, but they have not expanded their sphere of influence much.
To put it mildly, even if they are vying for power and profit, immortals often focus on competing for more immortal cultivation resources within the sect, rather than the mundane world that is dispensable to them.
This is the reason for the formation of the political reality of Chixian Zhongzhou today.
Imagine the human world after a full-scale nuclear war. Not to mention industrial production, it is the means of production that solves the most basic problem of food -- land -- which can be regarded as a scarce resource.
Although it is true that the environment is extremely harsh, as long as the knowledge possessed by human beings can still be passed on. At the same time, it also retains a certain scientific and technological strength. Once the population base is sufficient, we will be able to enter a period of high expansion all of a sudden, and it is inevitable to rebuild human civilization.
As a result, when these human beings, who are also very rapid in production, run into the commodity economy, they face the above three market environments:
First, there is no powerful group that can completely concentrate the means of production in its hands, and at the same time, there is no force that can manage and suppress commercial behavior
Second, the whole human society is flat, and there is no obvious pyramidal structure like zài.
Thirdly, the largest armed bloc has no will to create a state apparatus and at the same time prevent others from doing so.
At this time, there is only one thing that can hinder the birth of capitalism in this Xianxia world!
I want to know what happens next, and I'll break it down next time.
