Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the study room, Feng Bao, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and Zhang Juzheng, the Chief Assistant, knelt down in front of the emperor. On the desk were the rice that had skyrocketed in value and the toilet paper that was worth ten taels of silver.  "Tell me! What's going on? You two are important ministers who govern internal affairs and external affairs!" The emperor looked at them coldly and picked up the tea in front of him.  Feng Bao was the first to kowtow: "Your Majesty! I have neglected my duty and failed to share your Majesty's worries. Instead, I have made Your Majesty worry about you!" The emperor waved his hand: "My eldest companion! We are all our own people, let alone these vain people.  Let¡¯s be practical. Which one should I talk about first, this rice or this toilet paper?¡± Feng Bao paused and pointed at the toilet paper: ¡°My Majesty, I want to explain this first!¡±  Tell me!" The emperor was just drinking tea without raising his head, but when he saw Feng Bao's slender fingers pointing to the toilet paper, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly he looked at it with a smile on his face, and he was in a good mood.  Feng Bao.  Feng Bao raised his head. The smile on the emperor's face startled him. He didn't know why the emperor, who was cloudy just now and might have a thunderstorm at any time, was in a good mood.  How did he know that when the emperor thought of the toilet paper, he would think of the two stunning beauties with long flowing hair following behind him asking for his name, how could he be in a bad mood?  Zhu Yijun had a strong feeling at this time that he would definitely meet these two twin sisters again.  And, it is very possible that this kind of toilet paper, which is worth ten taels of silver per knife, is very likely to be the matchmaker who meets them again.  It was the thought of this that made him smile, and the beautiful scene of the sun shining down from their long hair seemed to appear before his eyes again.  Feng Bao felt that he could no longer grasp the emperor's pulse. The emperor was smiling all over his face, and he had to accompany him, but what he poured out was a bunch of words of bitterness and hatred.  "Your Majesty! In accordance with your order, I immediately stopped using the Suzhou embroidery handkerchiefs used in the bathroom four days ago, and then ordered the Weaving Bureau to select good quality and slightly soft paper and deliver it. They were very fast and delivered it the next day.  Come, all the palaces have been replaced with this kind of toilet paper. But I never expected that the Weaving Bureau would leak the news, and a black market would be formed on Qianmen Street so quickly.¡± The emperor still looked at it with a smile on his face.  He looked at Feng Bao so much that his heart grew hairy.  "So, in your opinion, what is the problem in this matter?" Facing the emperor who had never seen such a long smile, Feng Bao shuddered as he said: "I think there are two problems, one is  One is in the Weaving Bureau, and the other is in the market. They must have inside information. " "What are you going to do?" "Go back to the Emperor! I suggest a two-pronged approach. First, seal the store selling toilet paper; second, in the Weaving Bureau.  An internal investigation will be launched to investigate the leaker. "The emperor patted the armrest of the chair and stood up. He said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Your two methods are very targeted at first glance and can be solved accurately and quickly.  Problem, but in fact, it¡¯s useless to look at it!¡± The hairs growing in Feng Bao¡¯s heart were finally confirmed and turned into beads of sweat rolling down his forehead: ¡°I am stupid, please show me!¡± ¡°  First, it seems feasible to check this store, but in fact it means not checking it, because if you check this store, will you check other stores? If this store is closed today, it will open again tomorrow, or if you seal it on the ground today.  , He will sell it underground tomorrow." Feng Bao was dumbfounded, and Zhang Juzheng beside him couldn't help but nod.  "Second, you launch an investigation within the Weaving Bureau and strictly investigate the leaker. If you are found out, you are lucky. If you are not found out, no one is willing to admit it. What will you do? Or it is very possible that the person in charge of the Weaving Bureau is actually the leaker.  Otherwise, he will not admit it himself, and at most he will throw out a scapegoat to take the blame. What will you do if he continues to leak after you have finished the investigation? And let me tell you, the final fact is very likely to be the latter. " Feng  Bao was stunned. He felt that what Zhu Yijun said was completely beyond the scope of his knowledge.  It can be said that he didn¡¯t understand it at all, but his intuition told him that what the emperor said was right.  How could he, at such a young age, know what fish were in such deep water?  The emperor smiled. He read Feng Bao's thoughts from his expression. Why do I know this? Because before I traveled through time, my father was an urban management officer. He took me to the streets with me since I was a child. My father worked for more than 20 years.  In the 1990s, the urban management officials did not see any real arrests of small businessmen and hawkers.  Of course, Dad was really caught in the end, because he stopped arresting him. After serving as the urban management chief for more than 20 years, he finally became the director, but he changed his method of arresting people. The first thing he did after taking office was  It is to set up a free retail market for these small traders and hawkers who are caught and run away.He was immediately praised by everyone, and later became the deputy mayor for this reason. ??????????????????????????????????????????????? It is better to block than to open up, and we must respect the laws of the market. If there is demand, there will be a market, and if there is buying and selling, there will be prices. This is a truth that he only figured out after more than 20 years.  This is the law of market economy!  Of course, at this moment in the Ming Dynasty, at best, it can only be regarded as the bud of some commodity economy, and Keynes has not even been born yet.  So these two people don't know anything about this. They only know the superficial knowledge of business and trading.  But I understand, and I still want to use this as the foundation for the revival of the Ming Dynasty.  The emperor looked at Feng Bao with a smile: "I have two methods here! One is military and the other is literary. Which one do you want to hear?" Feng Bao kowtowed in admiration: "I would like to hear the details!" The emperor decisively sold it.  A key point: "Let me test you first! If you want to get the effect, you must investigate the cause. Tell me, just on the fourth day after announcing the change of toilet paper, this phenomenon occurred. What is the fundamental reason?" "The reason is  The Weaving Bureau leaked the secret!" "Hahaha!" The emperor laughed, "It seems you still don't understand! What is the reason for the leak?" "Okay!  Come on, let¡¯s be more straightforward. What¡¯s the purpose of embezzling the treasury?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all for making money!¡±  It¡¯s money, it¡¯s money! So, if you want to seize them and investigate them, it¡¯s equivalent to killing them!¡± Feng Bao was already in awe.  ! The emperor waved his hand and said, "Let's do a simple math question. How much do you pay the Weaving Bureau for every knife of toilet paper?"  The emperor smiled brightly: "You charge one hundred taels for one sword, and he sells it for one tael. When the profit is equal to the cost, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches two.  When the profit is doubled, they dare to risk the guillotine. When the profit reaches three times, they will trample all the laws of the world. If your profit has reached a hundred times, there is nothing they dare to do.  "Feng Bao took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. The emperor's theories today completely shocked him!  The emperor opened the door to what he had just sold: "This Wu method is the most direct. You go ask their weaving bureau for the number of toilet paper they can produce per month. For example, at full capacity, they can produce a hundred dollars a month.  , just ask them to charge one hundred dollars, or one hundred and twenty dollars a month, and if they can't deliver the goods, they will be beheaded, and they will not have any surplus toilet paper to sell to the market. " Feng Baoyi.  Patting his thigh: "This is a good method!" Seeing the emperor stop talking, Feng Baocai realized his gaffe and hurriedly continued to listen: "Your Majesty! Is there any other method of Wen?" Zhu Yijun did not pursue what he just said.  Interrupting, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back: "What I'm saying is that you first save a large amount of toilet paper and a large sum of money. Then, like him, you go to open a shop opposite this store.  "A toilet paper shop." "Open a shop too?" Feng Bao increasingly couldn't understand what the emperor was talking about.  Of course, if you could understand it in just a few minutes, there would be no macroeconomics that Keynes spent his whole life creating.  Western capitalism has gone through free competition capitalism to monopoly capitalism.  Free competition leads to production concentration, and when production concentration develops to a certain stage, it will inevitably lead to monopoly.  There must be an interest chain behind driving up the price of rice and toilet paper, and they all want to make a "monopoly" fortune by leveraging the forces behind it.  "To truly restrain the competition among bad monopoly groups that have just emerged in the Ming Dynasty, one of the most basic ways is to be more monopolistic than these "small monopolies", follow the laws of the market, and establish state capitalism.  The emperor glanced at Zhang Juzheng, but found that his eyes were shining, and he slowly stretched out his thumb and index finger to gently twist the beard under his chin.  "This Zhang Juzheng seems to know some basic economic theory knowledge. Could it be that he has done business in the past?"  "Yes, open a shop too. Your shop uses money from the treasury and sells toilet paper from the palace. He sells it for ten taels a dollar, and you sell it for five taels a dollar. In this way, everyone will gradually  I only go to your store to buy it. Later, you can even slowly buy all the toilet paper in his store and do business with the mole who leaked the secret in the textile bureau. You will not only know who the mole is.  Who can make your business bigger and bigger, and it will eventually become an important source of revenue for the national treasury.??, let¡¯s call it the country¡­it¡¯s called the country¡¯s shop trading!  "Zhu Yijun originally wanted to talk about state capitalism, but he was afraid that they would not understand, so he made up a simple word. These two extremely smart ministers were completely shocked by these economic theories from the emergence of Western capitalism to its rapid development in later generations.  After hearing "Wen's" theory, Feng Bao was speechless and couldn't speak clearly: "This Wen's method is good!  And it kills two birds with one stone.  The Holy One is wise and powerful. Even if we try our best to speculate, we still don't know even one ten thousandth of the mystery.  Please also ask Your Majesty to decide whether to use 'grammar' or 'martial arts' to deal with this matter?  Wei Chen will do it now!  "
