    Chen De was almost laughing with Qingchi, his face turned cold, and he said solemnly: "However, although this method is very good, I cannot implement it in the Anxi military area."

    Qingchi was so happy to meet Master Ming that he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. He was frozen there, speechless, and looked at Chen De speechless.  Seeing his appearance, Chen De felt a little regretful in his heart, and said slowly: "Of course, Mr. Qing is a rare talent, but I know it. Well, why can't we use this method of financial management? If Mr.  If you can think clearly, I will respectfully invite you to be the staff of the Anxi Military Mansion."

    After serving tea to see off the guests, Chen Defang said to Zhang Zhongyao: "This Qingchi is Wang Zuo's talent. Two people must be sent to keep an eye on him. If he wants to leave, there is no need to ask for permission. Just take his head and report back again."

    Seeing his high spirits, Zhang Zhongyao obeyed his orders sternly, thinking that the master had already made up his mind to kill him if he could not be used. If the pretentious Qingchi knew this, he would die in peace.  He originally thought that Chen De was too caring and not ruthless in his methods. But today when he saw him talking, laughing and killing people, he had a strange feeling in his heart. Instead, he felt a little at ease.

    Zhang Zhongyao sighed: "Although the financial management tips offered by Qingchi are useful, they only compete with the people for profit, which greatly damages the lord's reputation."

    Chen De said with a smile: "It is the military government and Fuhaixing that compete with the people. If it is just for my own reputation, I can issue an edict to reprimand them every day. Just like Na Qingchi said, in this way  , so that 'the people wear them like the sun and the moon, and love the king like their parents.'" Zhang Zhongyao was a little puzzled, so Chen De said: "The reason why I don't use this strategy is because I don't want to dry up the lake and fish for the ears." Seeing that Zhang Zhongyao still had a puzzled look.  Before leaving, Chen De ordered his servant to remove the tea, bring a few peeled oranges, and while eating, he explained in detail to Zhang Zhongyao.

    "According to Qingchi's idea, the country will be rich, but the people's wealth will be exhausted," Chen De said with a smile, "What is the use of the superiors amassing all this wealth? Even if it is to conquer Song and Liao, there is no need to be so urgent in collecting wealth. You need to know how to govern a big country.  Just like cooking fresh food, you should handle it slowly. Otherwise, before the Song and Liao dynasties are peaceful, what will happen if the country is filled with mourning under your own rule? Accumulating so much wealth is nothing more than depleting the world's material resources and filling endless desires."

    Zhang Zhongyao subconsciously said: "Sir, you are quite familiar with the ways to make money. If you use this accumulated wealth as a capital to continue to make money, or do something beneficial to the country and the people, wouldn't it be more useful than staying among the people?"

    Chen De was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Zhongyao to believe in his ability so much.  However, with the current level of social technology, the two of them may not be able to see a high welfare state system with high tax burdens in their lifetimes. He must give up this dangerous idea. Chen De said slowly: "Zhong Yao's words are wrong.  As the saying goes, one person is short-sighted, but everyone is wise. A person only has one pair of eyes and two ears. What he sees and hears is only a glimpse of the past. This matter of wealth is related to the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea of ??thousands of households. Everyone has different taste preferences.  Even if Yao and Shun were reborn today, it would be difficult to deal with the situation without any deviation, and in the end it would inevitably end up in a situation where hard work and hard work are not good."

    "Furthermore, even if the superiors have a very clever method, everyone below them has their own plans. After a strategy is implemented, it will be 70% off, and it will be good if it can have two or three points of the original appearance. What's more,  Since wealth is accumulated in the treasury, when the profit is divided and used, it is like floating wealth without an owner. The people in charge have their own selfish desires. No matter how clearly the superiors understand the details, they will only use their own efforts to compete with the pursuit of profit by the people in the world. There is only despair.  After that. The only solution is to hide wealth among the people. If there is no wealth in the treasury, then the officials will clean themselves up. Make it indisputable and indisputable. This is the best way to be as good as water."

    "The way to make money is to make the four things, namely, those who work hard, those who work hard, wealth, and property, be connected to each other, and they will not go anywhere without any disadvantage. If the treasury takes away all the wealth, the other three will be left, and those who work hard will not be able to fulfill their desires.  , the laborers cannot do their best, and the products cannot be used to their full potential. Strange phenomena occur everywhere, and there are resentments between the upper and lower levels. The wealth in the world either grows slowly or shrinks when it is not full. For the superiors, it is nothing more than drying up the lake and fishing."

    Chen Deyou's worries were not unreasonable. In later generations, a small land was occupied by the British barbarians. The British barbarians were a foreign race and treated the people of this small land like a herdsman raising cows, hoping to invest in the public.  The less expenditure the better, and the more taxes collected into the British and foreign treasuries the better, so a unique land bidding and auction system was invented to occupy public land and the one with the highest joint price got it.  As a result, land and house prices in that small area were pushed higher and higher. The increase in income from selling land and properties allowed that small area to maintain its status as a tax-free free port and meet the huge public expenditure needs of modern society.  , and the developed re-export trade, active commodity economy, and extremely diligent and thrifty people can satisfy the British and foreign "milking" needs to the greatest extent.  Thinking of this, Chen De also secretly admired that the British and foreigners were the best in the world in their ability to manage colonies.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Generally speaking, this was the result of the local residents lacking the capital and strength to compete politically, and belonging to different races and interest groups from the rulers. Later, it became a long-lasting trend, and most of the residents of this tiny place spent their life savings in exchange for a bird.  With houses the size of cages, everyone hopes that land prices and housing prices will continue to rise so as to exploit latecomers, causing the competitiveness of the small country to decline year after year, and it has to rely on the mother country to give it a shot in the arm to survive.  Later, for some unknown reason, the imperial court actually learned the methods that the British and foreigners used to exploit the colonies in this country, which was the only one in the world, and ruined their own economy and people's livelihood.

    Zhang Zhongyao nodded in agreement, and Chen De added: "If all the private financial resources are plundered, to whom will the goods produced by the many factories we set up in the Western Regions be sold to? If they are sold to places like Liao, Song, and Persia, what if there is someone else?  One day, the Song Emperor banned border trade, and the people's livelihood in the Western Regions was in decline. Wouldn't it mean that he was controlling his own life in the hands of others? Before the Song and Liao armies could attack, he would be in chaos."

    These words made Zhang Zhongyao seem to have some understanding, and he nodded and said: "My lord can see thousands of miles away, and I admire you." Chen De said with a smile: "It's just your own heart that judges people's belly. If you pay attention to it on weekdays, you will make progress."  ." He saw that Zhang Zhongyao was looking at him with a strange look, and he suddenly thought of the sentence "Zhuge Kongming is so wise and almost a demon." Unlike most high-ranking people in this era who make themselves very mysterious, Chen Defen  If you are not willing to be regarded as a god by your subordinates, if this accumulates, your subordinates will become dependent and superstitious on themselves, and the plans they propose will not receive correct opinions and corrections.

    On the second day, Na Qingchi came to see him again.  Qingchi, who was still full of energy yesterday, looked haggard and depressed, as if he was a different person.  Chen De was greatly surprised. He didn't expect him to figure out the joints so quickly.

    "My lord, I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and I am not as thoughtful as your lord. I almost missed the big event, so I came here to apologize to you." Qingchi cupped his hands and said with a bitter smile.

    Chen De asked him not to be formal and asked: "Mr. Qing, you really want to understand, why don't I use your financial management advice?"

    Qingchi nodded and said: "My lord, when we are in the Western Regions, there are many foreign barbarians who are unruly and unruly. The arrogant and powerful generals of the vassal tribe are even more difficult to control. If you use the strategy of a villain, even if you use military force to subdue all states and towns, you will not leave."  In a few years, there will be rebels. What's more, the leaders of the neighboring tribes will sooner or later occupy a place in these state capitals and towns. These are connected with the larger feudal tribes, and even the Song and Liao Dynasties. If life is difficult, they will be forced to panic.  , is also going to cause chaos. The Western Region is thousands of miles away. If there are wars everywhere, even if you have hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, you will be exhausted and worry about one thing and lose another. Therefore, the villain's strategy is actually a strategy that harms the country." He bowed his head.  road.  Seeing Chen De slowly nodding his head and not objecting, Qingchi regained his energy and raised his head and said: "But if your Excellency wants to make progress in the Central Plains, you can implement this policy in the various states in the Central Plains. The treasury will definitely be enriched. With this as a support, you can conquer the Central Plains."  The foreign countries will eventually be able to conquer the barbarians and unify the world."

    Chen De couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Qing is good at financial management, but he may not be too arrogant. If I do this, wouldn't I be kind to the foreigners and mean to the Han people? Then I am the master of the Han people in the Central Plains.  Or the leader of the barbarians in Fanbang?"

    Chen De was just a vassal town at this time. Qingchi didn't expect that he couldn't even hide his ambition when he spoke, so he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. He was a little reserved, gritted his teeth and bowed: "Your Excellency is naturally the common master of all people in the world.  I'm confused."

    Chen De said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I already know your talent. I'll leave the business in Jiangnan with you. Follow me back to Bianliang and submit to the staff first." Seeing Qingchi, he was overjoyed and bowed to express his thanks.  Chen Defang said: "Let me explain one thing clearly to you first. I have both civil and military backgrounds under my command. Since your husband is not a soldier, if you want to get an official position in the future, you need to pass the scribe examination. In the Four Battles of Hexi, even if you are a scribe,  I also have to take the exam for the second art of archery and archery. Are you sure, sir?"

    Qingchi was from Chizhou. He studied since he was a child and turned to business after his failure. He had never learned martial arts. However, since Chen De was willing to accept him and pointed out the way to become a member of the profession, he had to do it even if he couldn't do it.  He nodded without hesitation and replied: "I will do my best." Chen De laughed.

    After retiring from Chen De, Qingchi asked Zhang Zhongyao with some embarrassment: "Master Zhang, I wonder how the second art of shooting and imperialism mentioned by the lord is tested?"

    Zhang Zhongyao stared at him with amusement, thinking that this person didn't even know how to test the second art of archery, so he agreed in front of his lord. He didn't know whether he should be considered decisive or reckless.

    However, he also knew that Qingchi was a great talent, so he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qing, you're welcome. The track below Lanzhou is a scribe who tests the second art of archery in a school. He fires ten arrows in a row from a hundred steps away, and he goes up, down, and in three directions.  According to the trajectory, if seven shots hit the target, the archery skills will be considered qualified. If the horse can travel 150 miles a day, the royal skills will be considered qualified."

    Hearing that the archery test is so difficult, QingchiI couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Opening a bow with a range of a hundred steps requires four stones of strength. After drawing it, standing still and aiming to fire the arrow requires much greater strength than opening the bow.  Seven out of ten out of a hundred steps were far beyond the standards of the Forbidden Army's crossbowmen.  Thinking of this, Qingchi couldn't help but feel like he was breaking out in a cold sweat, "It seems that I will have to practice bowing every morning and evening in the future. In order to become a scholar, I will start practicing with the two-stone bow."
