Chapter 289: God calculates the next four "Yeah."
Liu Ji didn't take a deep breath, so he was not suffocated to death.
His chest heaved for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "The Chief Manager knows that no matter how big the pot is, it will eventually be limited.
But human desires are endless."
Zhu Chongjiu shook his head, full of confidence, "Then change the pot to a bigger one and keep changing it.
If it doesn't work, just open the lid of the pot.
You pour it out here, and I will look in at you over there.
I have a big belly, but I can refill water quickly.”
"Yeah" Liu Ji groaned again, eyes widening.
"Pfft" Shi Naian only had time to swallow half of the tea in his mouth, and the rest sprayed onto the front of his clothes.
Looking at the indignant and Song Ke before, all the anger on their faces disappeared.
They looked at Liu Ji who was in a daze and couldn't contain their joy.
Zhu Chongjiu's analogy just now was so vivid that no one here could pretend not to understand.
Liu Ji believes that the development of the Huaiyang system will be sluggish, and the premise is that the wealth of the world is fixed.
If Zhu Chongjiu "eats" more here, he will naturally eat less elsewhere.
And if Zhu Chongjiu moves all the wealth in the world back to Yangzhou, the wealth in the world will be completely exhausted.
At that time, the huge monster that suddenly emerged in the Huaiyang system will collapse to the ground in an instant because of its unsustainable wealth.
But Zhu Chongjiu solved all the troubles by simply changing to a bigger pot.
If the area currently controlled by the Red Scarf of the World is compared to a kettle, the water in this kettle is limited.
Compared with the area controlled by the Red Turban Army, the Great Yuan Empire was undoubtedly a bigger kettle.
As for the last two sentences, it is obvious that both sides are using strong words to make excuses.
Liu Ji stubbornly believed that the wealth of the entire Dayuan was limited, and it was not enough for the Huaiyang clan to plunder.
Zhu Chongjiu, on the other hand, told him directly that if the Yuan Dynasty is not big enough, I will continue to expand the territory.
Keep expanding until the needs are met.
If you are still not satisfied, continue to expand, using the cannon as a plow, endlessly.
It’s no wonder that Liu Ji was frustrated.
In fact, the scholars of this era, including even famous officials Zhu Sheng and Li Shanchang, had a very shallow understanding of economics.
What they have always seen is that men farm and women weave, and the self-sufficient small-scale peasant production method, at best, is coupled with "small taxes, light taxation, and self-cultivation."
What they have always been instilled is that "there is no businessman, no treachery" and " Agriculture-based”.
Therefore, they naturally reject all official participation in industrial and commercial activities, thinking that it is competing with the people for profit.
Therefore, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty in history, the national fiscal revenue has always been a very sad figure.
Not only was it incomparable to the Qing Dynasty, which handed over all customs duties to foreign countries hundreds of years later, it was even worse than the Southern Song Dynasty, which had been destroyed for more than seventy years and only had half of the country in hand.
Liu Ji, who participated in the formulation of various tax policies in the early Ming Dynasty, was fully responsible for this.
In other words, it was precisely the lack of economic knowledge among Liu Ji, Li Shanchang and others that led to the Ming Dynasty's inherent deficiencies in national fiscal revenue.
No matter how the fiscal system was reformed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it could not break away from the rigidity of the agricultural economy.
Even in the late Ming Dynasty, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty frequently threatened the country, they still lacked the courage and ability to develop financial resources from the emerging fields of foreign trade and industry and commerce, and just blindly imposed additional taxes on the peasants.
Finally, Li Zicheng rose up and the whole of China fell into darkness again.
Use your own shortest and hit others' longest.
In this round, Liu Ji lost unjustly.
How did he know that the other soul in Zhu Chongjiu's body had traveled through the Internet era.
The breadth of knowledge that he had access to during his lifetime was far beyond that of scholars in the mid-fourteenth century.
Especially in terms of economics, from the armed plunder of Britain in the early stage of capitalism, to the globalized commodity dumping in the United States in the late stage of capitalism, to a certain rabbit sweeping the world with cheap clothes for two dollars a piece, they are simply the most intuitive and vivid.
Economics textbook.
Being indoctrinated endlessly every day, even a piece of rotten wood would have been carved into Zhao Gongming.
How could it be possible that Liu Ji’s ancient theory of small-scale peasant economics would still be deceived?

"Here comes the big pot, Chief Steward.
This is the largest copper pot in our store.
Please take your time and use the tea.
If the hot water is not enough, I can refill the smaller one for you at any time."
As everyone was carefully savoring what Zhu Chongjiu was referring to.
At that moment, the waiter ran up in a daze and lifted a white copper kettle as big as a ball with his arms to the table.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" this knife, but just right.
Everyone suddenly couldn't hold it in any longer, and everyone burst out laughing.
"This, this" the clever waiter didn't know what he said wrongly.
He tried hard to carry the kettle, his face flushed.
"It's none of your business, hurry up and prepare the dishes."
Zhu Chongjiu was afraid that he would accidentally burn himself, so he quickly took the kettle with one hand and placed it gently on the table.
"Hey, hey, Chief Manager, you, please be careful with the fish.
The fish will be ready soon.
I'll bring it to you, bring it to you."
The waiter ran away as if he had received an amnesty.
After his interruption, Liu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He straightened his clothes and said sternly: "The Chief Manager knows that although a country is strong, if it is warlike, it will perish."
"This sentence comes from Sima Fa."
Ever since he married a top scholar, Zhu Chongjiu's ancient Chinese proficiency has been rising like bamboo joints.
He said it calmly without thinking, "The last sentence is, although the world is safe, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger.
The world is already in danger.
In peace, the world is under great pressure; in the spring, the troops are searched in the autumn; in the spring, the princes revitalize their brigade; in the autumn, they organize their armies, so they do not forget to fight."
"Pfft" Lu Kun laughed, quickly lowered his head, and slowly sipped the tea.
My old man has a vicious eye, and this grandson-in-law's selection is incomparably accurate.
Although he usually looks a bit rough and arrogant, but seriously, even Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who are famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, have their hands tied when they meet him, and they can't take any advantage at all.
"The general manager has a photographic memory, Liu admires him."
Liu Bowen was a little surprised when he was hit backwards with two consecutive moves.
He cupped his hands and praised with a wry smile.
"Sir, you are overly complimentary.
Zhu happened to have read this sentence.
So when he mentioned it, I immediately thought of it."
Zhu Chongjiu waved his hands in a humble gesture.
However, in the next sentence, he showed his frivolous attitude, "But Zhu has always believed that it is better to have no books than to believe in books.
Do you think so, sir?"
"What Ya Sheng said certainly makes sense."
Liu Bowen was slightly stunned again and responded with some difficulty.
What Zhu Chongjiu said just now comes from Mencius.
The late Southern Song Dynasty was a time when Mencius's teachings were highly praised by Confucian scholars.
As a famous person of the generation, he cannot say that he has not read Mencius, nor can he just say that Mencius's words are wrong.
However, the following sentence of "It is better to have no book than to believe in all the books" is, "I have only adopted two or three strategies in Wucheng.
A benevolent person is invincible in the world, and even if he is benevolent, he will be unkind, so how can he shed blood?"
In other words, Mencius and others believed that the most benevolent should defeat the unbenevolent.
Even if the war is cruel, its justice is unquestionable.
Qi Cun'er happened to correspond to the sentence Liu Ji quoted before, "Although the country is big, if it is warlike, it will perish."

It made him feel more uncomfortable than hitting himself in the mouth.
However, if Liu Ji was persuaded so easily, he would not be the Hou Zhuge who helped Zhu Yuanzhang create the Ming Dynasty.
After taking a few deep breaths, he regained his energy and asked loudly, "Does the chief manager know how to be benevolent?"
Zhu Chongjiu did not answer directly.
He pondered for a moment and then asked with a smile, "Is it polite for King Wu to attack Zhou?"
"The General Manager is mighty!"
Song Ke slammed the table and cheered loudly.
Confucius said that to restrain oneself and return to propriety is benevolence.
Literally speaking, it means restraining the selfish desires in the heart and obeying the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, according to this standard, Zhu Chongjiu is taking advantage of people's selfish desires everywhere, which obviously violates the word benevolence.
The war naturally loses its justice.
Zhu Chongjiu directly skipped this question and responded with the specific actions of King Wu in defeating Zhou, which is equivalent to using Zi's spear and attacking Zi's shield.
Since a benevolent person must restrain himself and restore etiquette, I follow the example of King Wu of Zhou and attack Shang Zhou, which is the greatest observance of Zhou etiquette.
Who do you have to say that I am not doing the right thing?
Song Ke was not the only one to completely fall in love with Zhu Chongjiu.
Zhang Yi, who had been sitting next to him and tried to take advantage of Liu Bowen's attack to carefully examine Zhu Chongjiu, was also filled with excitement at this moment.
"Who taught this Zhu Fozi that he didn't have any problem?"
Although he has read books, he can always be at odds with Liu Ji.
You can say that he is a scholar, but his speech and behavior are very vulgar. " While he was wondering about the solution, he heard Liu Ji's tone suddenly changed and he said loudly: "What the chief manager is doing right now, is it benevolent or not?"
"Bo Wen, if not General Manager Zhu, the 600,000 elders in Yangzhou will all turn into withered bones in the winter."
Zhang Yi couldn't listen anymore, cleared his throat, and took the initiative to defend Zhu Chongjiu.
This is a fact that no one can deny.
Even if you, Liu Ji, no longer agree with Huaiyang's policy strategy, you can't tell lies with your eyes closed and accuse Zhu Fozi of cruelty and cruelty.
Otherwise, not only would the 600,000 people in Yangzhou not agree, but even Zhang, an outsider, would not be able to agree.
Then Zhu Chongjiu was not very grateful.
First, he waved his hand gently, signaling Zhang Yi to sit down and drink tea.
Then he sighed softly and responded with a smile, "Brother Sanyi, there is no need to be angry.
Mr.
Qingtian is right.
Since Zhu started his army, he has killed hundreds of people with his own hands.
In the three places of Huaiyang and Gaoyou, because of Zhu And the dead, tens of thousands of them, absolutely dare not claim to be benevolent."
After a slight pause, his voice suddenly became louder, "As for the people in the three places, there are hundreds of thousands of people who were born because of Zhu.
Zhu didn't know what he was doing, but Zhu knew that in this end of the world, , Zhu must do something and not do something.”
Do something and don't do something.
This is his life creed.
Liu Ji only saw the surface, and saw that the emerging industry and commerce in Huaiyang was like a black hole, continuously attracting wealth from all over the world.
Zhu Chongjiu knew that this was just the beginning.
When capital has passed its embryonic stage, it will become more active and more crazy in absorbing wealth.
Indeed, all of this does have a predatory nature.
Because capital comes to time, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and filth.
Britain's wealth came from the bloody conquest and plunder of overseas colonies.
America, the moral benchmark in the eyes of some people in later generations.
It is directly based on the bones of Indians and black people.
Even in the 21st century, the era in which Zhu Dapeng lived, every foreign war she fought had an obvious economic purpose.
Either to dump goods or to plunder resources.

However, they all plundered others, not their own kind.
Zhu Chongjiu does not have the charisma of a leader who can "make the world's heroes bow to him once he has the body of a tiger", nor does he have the aura of wisdom that "turns his eyes and everyone within a radius of twenty miles automatically becomes an idiot."
Therefore, he can only adopt the simplest method. , the clumsiest way.
Learn from the paths that have been taken and succeeded in history.
Even if the road is full of thorns on both sides
