Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 158 Desire for Wealth
"The smoke from the south wind can relieve the resentment of our people."

"When the south wind comes, it can enrich the wealth of our people."

In the humanoid songstress Qi Ruier playing the piano and singing, Fusu began to tell the story of the Yellow Emperor's battle with Chiyou.

What he didn't know was that after the agitation last night, the entire land of Qinchuan began to boil.

Many shops in the county's bazaars that sell copper wares were besieged early in the morning.

The shopkeepers opened the door tremblingly, and found that most of the people standing outside were servants of local wealthy families.

On the carriage behind them, all kinds of bronze wares piled up like a mountain!
This is mainly because the imperial court reaffirmed the decree a few days ago, punishing those who minted coins privately.

Therefore, these clansmen of the Qin clan who have been passed down for hundreds of years had to take the bronze wares at home to the official store and exchange them for half taels of equal weight.

This is a way for big households to store their wealth. They cast precious metals into various containers, and when the money is needed urgently, they take it out and exchange it into currency again.

Temples and Taoist temples of later generations will also use methods such as casting bronze statues and big bells to hide wealth.

However, more "earth rich people" closed their doors tightly, let their wives and children hold swords in their hands, and started digging the pigsty hard.

After a while, a pottery pot that had been buried for an unknown number of years was dug out.

boom!
The earthen pot seal was opened, revealing the money strings that were not only rusted, but also had rotted strings.

If you take a closer look, you will find that there are not many half taels, but more cloth coins from Sanjin, knife coins from Yanqi, and ant nose coins and Ying love from Chu!
These are all the spoils that their ancestors plundered from the Six Kingdoms when they went east to fight in Hangu!
If it weren't for Fusu's forced order, they were only allowed to take money to participate in the shares, and they were not allowed to use real objects, such as officials, cattle and horses, etc., to buy shares, I am afraid that these precious metals will never see the light of day.

According to Fusu, in this agricultural era with underdeveloped productivity, rich people should not be frugal, and they spend a lot of money to benefit the development of society.

In ancient times, the gap between the rich and the poor led to the collapse of the dynasty, largely because of the limited metal currency and limited land.

The local rich people are very rich, and they like to save money, and then buy land.

This leads to the hoarding of money and wealth, the exhaustion of liquidity, the infinite concentration of wealth to some people, and finally serious distribution problems that lead to social collapse, and the greed for wealth eventually destroys wealth.

Therefore, in this era, the rich will not be extravagant, and the poor will starve to death!
In the case of fixed resources, if you have more, I will have less.

In other words, the increase and hoarding of wealth under this system will lead to the impoverishment of others, and when limited gold, silver and land are concentrated in the hands of a few people, it will inevitably cause huge social problems.

For example, in the iron-blooded and powerful Song Dynasty in later generations, the gentry concentrated social wealth in their own hands, and then used various policies to continue to make money and accumulate more gold, silver and land.

In the process, land, gold and silver were concentrated in the hands of a small proportion of the total population.

The reduction of land owned by self-cultivating farmers led to a shortage of food circulating in society, and the reduction of gold and silver led to the drying up of currency liquidity, which in turn led to cheap labor, and eventually led to social collapse.

Therefore, in Fusu's view, instead of letting them bury the money at home and wait for archaeological excavations in later generations, it is better to use it to stimulate social development!

For example, the plantations opened in the four counties gathered a large number of people in a short period of time, but they could not be self-sufficient.

The extremely high logistics cost has made it impossible for large households to transport the materials in Guanzhong thousands of miles away.

Therefore, it is necessary to use money to buy food, cloth and other daily necessities from the surrounding villagers.

This indirectly stimulates local economic development.

And when the "old riches" gained a lot of wealth through the plantation, as a time traveler who stepped on countless consumerist traps, Fusu had a way to make them spend the money happily!
It is difficult to make money, but it is not easy to spend money!

Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, which item is not a gold mine!

Rich and still wearing patched sackcloth?

Get acquainted with silk that is brightly colored and smoother than a woman's skin!
The sale of a piece of silk clothing will bring wealth to mulberry farmers, weaver girls, tailors, etc.

As for the word 'eat', which is close to the soul of Chinese people, it can stimulate development in all aspects.

If you are rich, why don't you cut two catties of pork and go back to make dumplings!
As for why you buy from the market instead of eating your own pigs?
It's very simple, because a pig weighs one or two hundred catties and can't finish a meal, but cutting off two catties of meat from it involves a large-scale debridement operation, which the current state of Qin can't do...

White flour is used to make dumplings, which will promote the planting of winter wheat;
Leeks, radishes, onions, etc. are grown in our own yards, which can be ignored, but the demand for meat will promote the development of the breeding industry.

The development of the aquaculture industry directly promotes the development of related industries such as planting, medical treatment and breeding.

As for the issue of 'living', according to the report from the Shaofu, the order for the glass workshop has been scheduled until June next year!
And 'OK', let's find out about the four-wheeled carriage!
Well, the people of Qin are good at raising horses, so Fusu decided to designate the trademark of the four-wheeled carriage as a horse standing upright...

These are the most basic things. As for other highly educated luxury goods, Fusu decided to wait for a while.

……

In Qinian Palace, Young Master Yan stared blankly at the gate of the hall.

He was left behind to deal with the purchase of shares by the clan and the princes.

Compared with the difficulty of raising money last time, it was necessary for Fusu to come forward in person to trick the clan sons into paying and going south.

This time it was much easier.

After experiencing the magical reality of the price of brown sugar, everyone has no doubt that the land of smog can bring a lot of wealth.

The old place of Yongcheng at this time is like Europe after Columbus discovered the New World.

This leads to another problem, that is, after the [-] million yuan has been pooled, there will be no quota for the latecomers!
It was the first time that Gong Ziyan knew that these "poor relatives" in the countryside were so rich!

But this is easy to understand. After all, in the hearts of Qin people in this period, land is the foundation, and money is just something outside of the body.

Men farm and women weave, self-sufficient.

But now, Fusu gave them a chance to increase the value of their belongings crazily.

So when the soft-spoken Young Master Yan couldn't hold them down, the bold Qin people began to use their own methods to solve the ranking problem.

Outside Qinian Palace, strong men wrestling together can be seen everywhere.

"You guys! Stop fighting!"

Gong Ziyan patted the table and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he shouted at the attendants beside him: "Hurry up and catch up with His Majesty's convoy, please come here!"

ps: Thank you for the monthly passes of 'Wandering 82', 'Floating Cloud', 'CXDHG' and 'Zidai'! (`) than heart
