"Doesn't business need to be controlled now? Many people have given up farming and started doing business with merchants. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later." Mi Zhu hesitated and said. Although he was born as a merchant, Mi Zhu seemed to be very interested in restricting merchants. very interested. "It's far from an accident. Forget it, I seem to have forgotten to popularize some things for you. Your understanding of society is actually somewhat biased." Chen Xi sighed and said. The main reason for the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business in ancient times was, to put it bluntly, the problem of de-production, and this production really refers to farming. "Oh, tell me." Liu Bei didn't care about Cao Cao's unhappy expression at all. He had been abused by Chen Xi many times anyway. Besides, for Liu Bei himself, he only needed to hold on to his position as military commander. ¡°In fact, the so-called issue of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business from ancient times to the present is to put it bluntly, it is to suppress the number of unemployed people.¡± Chen Xi shrugged. "The number of people who are out of work?" Cao Cao frowned, having never heard of this word at all. "Well, the number of people who are not involved in production is just a few of us." Chen Xi spread his hands, and Cao Cao's eyes froze when he heard this, and he understood a lot of things in an instant. "Actually, this is a very helpless fact. First of all, the aristocratic families and clans that account for 2% of the country are completely out of work. These people rely on the support of the common people." Chen Xi said expressionlessly. Cao Cao and Liu Bei suddenly looked ugly. , had Chen Xi not said it, they might not have noticed it in their lifetime, but they would have understood it instantly after he said it. "The next ones are the retired soldiers. I want you to understand this. If you want your soldiers to be truly elite, don't think about military camps. Just pull them out for training when there is nothing to do. Don't let them do farm work, just let them train. This part is 100% One percent, although it may be more than that, and it may be higher if necessary." Chen Xi looked extremely calm. "After that, if we count others, such as officials, subordinate staff, and those who are part-time and semi-off-the-job, we can actually see about three to four of them directly." Chen Xi sighed and said, "This is why the most basic The land tax is thirty to one. " At this moment, Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked extremely ugly. Many things were handed down from the ancients. Why is this happening? To be honest, there is really no one who can tell clearly in this era, but now. Chen Xi told them directly why. ¡°Because the 30-tax tax is enough to basically guarantee the survival of this group of people after they leave their jobs, but a country not only needs people to survive, but also has other things to do, so there are various taxes. "Chen Xi sighed and said, "This is why there are people saying that no matter how big the country is, it will be destroyed by war." "To put it simply, if there are too many unemployed people, the working people will be crushed to death." Chen Xi raised his hands. Tan said helplessly, "As for businessmen, they will naturally be included in the group of people who are out of work, which will naturally increase social pressure." "That's not to suppress businessmen, Zichuan, you have made it very clear, we must Limit the number of unemployed people!" Cao Cao said immediately. "However, this is impossible. In fact, every profession has its own necessity. Just like us, and another example is soldiers. Our significance is to make macro-adjustments and make society move forward more steadily. The significance of soldiers is to protect the home and the country. , To maintain social stability, officials and subordinate staff are responsible for solving local affairs and maintaining local harmony and stability." Chen Xi shook his head slightly. "The essence of business is actually circulation and regulation. It is people who seek profit, not business, so this profession is necessary." Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao solemnly. "Thirty people have reached the limit to support one person. If you add one more person, the structure may not be far from collapse. This is still above the normal level. Once a famine occurs, I now understand why troubled times occur." Liu Bei said helplessly. "No, in fact it is not a fixed rule that thirty people can support one person, nor is it a fixed rule that a country will perish no matter how big it is and is warlike. There is an extended chain." Chen Xi shook his head and said. "Whether it is Han Mou's increase in grain production or the many long-term plans I have made, they are essentially increasing this upper line. According to the current situation, in fact, excluding my influence on celestial phenomena, this number should have increased to seven "It's about 1.5 points," Chen Xi said with a hint of pride. The increase in cookie grain production increased this number by about 1.5 points. This is why it is nonsense to say that Mr. Yuan traveled to ancient times and relied on farmyard manure to produce three hundred pounds per mu. Most emperors could kneel down and call him daddy. In ancient times, as long as the food problem could be solved, the country would be free to do many things. . "Seven points?" Liu Bei and Cao Cao looked at each other. "Let's put it this way, the three extra points, based on the current population, can recruit one million soldiers without shaking the foundation of the country, so it doesn't matter if there are more than 70,000 or 80,000 merchants, but?These 70,000 to 80,000 businessmen are still very meaningful. "Chen Xi estimated that Cao Cao and Liu Bei didn't know what the three points meant, so he explained it briefly. Liu Bei and Cao Cao were really inspired this time. Although they had no concept of this before, when Chen Xi explained it this time, they immediately understood "However, I still have use for the number of people who can leave their jobs at these three points, so I definitely can't use them all for conscription. I have to rely on these three points to find a way to increase the proportion of people who can leave their jobs even more. . "Chen Xi shrugged and said. "This is also an important reason why Chen Xi's movements become smaller as he moves forward, because if he does something a little bit, it may cause too many people to use it, which will lead to problems in various aspects of grain production in the next year, and then Impact on longer-term development. "Hey, hey, Cao Gong, don't think about dividing this point. Although this point is the average point for the entire Han Dynasty, it is completely different in different places. Anyway, I bet you can't calculate it. "Chen Xi knew what Cao Cao wanted to do when he saw Cao Cao's eyes shining. "Ahem, cough, cough. "Cao Cao coughed twice with a bit of embarrassment. He really wanted to slap someone quickly, but Chen Xi exposed it. "Actually, the Hu people's prisoners can probably hold up to half a point. "Chen Xi did a rough calculation and said. "Although there are many captives of Zahu, this group of people also need to eat, but for some reasons the bottom line is different and the algorithm is not the same. It is estimated that it is equivalent to one and a half Points, to be honest, this algorithm is already considered a bottomless exploitation by Chen Xi. If it is more ruthless, it will probably affect the use time. "In short, except for about one point, which is intended to be used to expand the army, the rest are included. I have been saving for a long time to use them for fixed purposes. You must know that some of them will be used automatically by ordinary people due to social changes. In fact, I only have so much in my hands. "Chen Xi also said helplessly. "The fruits of social change cannot be picked by Chen Xi. Although Chen Xi can rely on this fruit to promote social change faster, the problem is that at the same time as social change, there are people from all walks of life. There is no way to avoid picking the fruit unconsciously. It should even be said that those people picking the fruit are the correct result of the spontaneous operation of internal driving forces during social changes. Chen Xi's approach is entirely based on foresight. Before this invisible hand started to operate, it took over the other party's responsibilities and moved forward faster. To be honest, if it weren't for the advantage of the lower reaches of history, eight out of ten people who played this way would have knelt down, and maybe the remaining two. The result is successful, but internally it will definitely leave a lot of hidden dangers because it does not comply with the normal procedures of social development. Its representative, haha The biggest weakness of leapfrog progress is this. Speaking of the feudal system, the ratio of people leaving work is ten points. , speaking of a ten-point off-the-job ratio, if enough is accumulated, one hand will be enough to enter the industrial revolution, and then liberate manpower, and the off-the-job ratio will directly increase to forty points. At ten points and forty points, the same country will have a prosperous society! You can see how big it is by looking at these two ratios. However, due to the current situation, Chen Xi has reached the point where he has reached seven points. He wants to jump to forty points. Unfortunately, the current accumulation is still not enough. Far from it. ¡°When are you unable to do anything in government affairs? "Liu Bei had a look of disbelief. "It's not that it's beyond my ability, but from a practical point of view, it doesn't make much sense to put them all in my hands. After all, those who can take advantage of the situation are all smart people. There is no need to be so demanding. The success of this group of people is good for society. "Chen Xi shook his head and said. "In fact, Chen Xi believes that it will be enough to mobilize people who are out of work by then, and the remaining part will be used by the people to create successful people in society, from ordinary people to become The rich people are actually very positive. By the way, it can also prove that after Chen Xi came to power, the people did get better. The power of realistic role models is conducive to social stability. "I'm surprised if you really want to do it. Can it really be controlled? "Liu Bei looked like it was true. "Well, if you think so, I can't do anything about it. Generally speaking, it's not impossible not to extract. It does more harm than good. We generally focus on maximizing benefits. "Chen Xi spread his hands and said, "However, maximizing interests is not the best choice in general, so we can only consider both. " "Well, Zichuan, let's talk about it. How would you deal with the situation you mentioned? "Liu Bei asked slightly curiously. "Whether it's urgent or not? If you're not in a hurry, just do some research. If you're anxious, just rely on feeling. Generally speaking, although the second method is biased, it's not too outrageous. Of course, it is said that some people rely on intuition. Can choose the best answer. "Chen Xi curled his lips and said. When Cao Cao heard this, the image of Zhong Yao emerged in his mind.??, it's a pity that Zhong Yao has never worked hard. Although he supports Cao Cao, to be honest, Zhong Yao may not work very hard. The theory of grave soil and weeds refuses to insinuate, the author is talking about the Song Dynasty
