Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 102 Knowing what the people want can make the country rich and the people strong
"Naturally, my minister's plan is to take out [-]% of the silver from the household department as a loan, and the remaining [-]% from the emperor's internal funds!" Zhang Haogu said.

The expression on Zhu Youxiao's face became solidified: "You want me to pay again?"

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu said: "We can't let the Ministry of Household Affairs bear it all. To invest in this kind of thing, the emperor still needs to get some money!"

"Success, I promise you yes!"

Zhu Youxiao is also a lot more relaxed now.

Some time ago, a few Donglin parties were ransacked in the house.

The second is to return the waste to the public, and collect a lot of money.

The household department has enough money, and after the balance, the entire household department still has about 200 million taels.

It will be a deficit next year, but this year, I will finally see a surplus.

As for Zhu Youxiao's internal funds, there is also a lot of silver.

At first, he cheated Ye Xianggao of 100 million taels, secondly, the land in his hands sold a lot of grain, and thirdly, Zhang Haogu tricked Zhu Youxiao into opening a factory.

The looms and jenny machines were put into production, and they sold a lot of money for small-scale exports taking advantage of the freezing weather. The money also went into Zhu Youxiao's internal funds.

Although the money is not much, it is also a good start.

Zhang Haogu's idea is actually very simple, let the dog emperor slowly jump out of the land income.

Wouldn't it be good to open factories, engage in some industrialization, use less feudal methods, and use capitalist methods?
Besides!

Then, there is lending, lending.

However, exercise restraint.

If it is not done well, it is the young seedling method.

Wei Zhongxian did wake up Zhang Haogu.

That is, you can't really let the emperor have no money to spend.

Now that the dog emperor's head is hot, he has divided the land. If he has no money to spend in the future, shouldn't he blame himself?
The more you have no money to spend, the more you have to think about yourself.

Zhang Haogu didn't expect the dog emperor to have much noble sentiments, just for now, it doesn't mean he always has.

Even he, Zhang Haogu, has selfish intentions - he also has a share in the factory opened by Emperor Dog.

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you will definitely earn some money. The Emperor is the father of all the subjects in the world. The Emperor divides the land so that the people will have enough food and clothing. The wealth of the people is the wealth of the country, and the wealth of the country is the emperor. Must be rich!"

"I really want to hear the master's opinion!" Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested.

Zhang Haogu said: "The emperor has heard of Bao Nuan Si **?"

Zhu Youxiao frowned: "Of course I know this. Master Sun told me that when a person is full of food and clothing, he will have a desire for sex. What does the master mean by this?"

Zhang Haogu said: "There are roughly five needs in a person's life, one of which is the lowest physiological needs, the needs of food, water, air, and rest, the needs of sexual expression, and the need to eliminate tension!"

"Second level, safety needs, safety, comfort, tranquility, and the need not to be afraid."

"The third level, the need to belong and love, the need to fit in with others, the need to relate to others, the need to love and be loved.

The fourth level is the need for esteem, the need for self-confidence, the need for a sense of worth and competence, and the need for self-esteem and respect from others.

The fifth level is the need for self-actualization, the need to realize one's potential, and the need to have meaningful goals. "

Zhu Youxiao was slightly taken aback.

Zhang Haogu said: "This warm and warm thinking can be regarded as the first and second floors. The emperor allocated fields to them and gave them the lowest needs. If they are rich and rich, they will have the desire to buy." , I hope my house is bigger, my clothes look better, and my travel is more convenient!"

"These words seem to make sense!" Zhu Youxiao nodded in agreement.

"Think about it, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Haogu said: "Nowadays most of the people who buy cloth in Yongding County are some wealthy households in the capital. This kind of cloth, but the emperor, have you thought about another question, if everyone in Yongding County can afford our cloth?"

"Fuck!"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't considered this issue.

During this period of time, cloth in Yongding County sold well. There are two fundamental reasons for this. The first is that the price has indeed dropped, and the second is that the quality is really good.

However, this price is still quite expensive, and ordinary people still cannot afford it.

It's not that textile machines and looms are not good, but that the price of raw materials has not been lowered, and ordinary people still cannot afford them.

However, Zhang Haogu was not in a hurry.

Any policy of the imperial court comes step by step.

"Think about it again, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hongangu continued: "If everyone in the world can afford our fabrics, Your Majesty, how much do you think you will earn?"

"hiss!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned. If that was the case, wouldn't he be making money like crazy?

Then, he shook his head: "Is this unlikely?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, this is governing the country!"

While talking, Zhang Haogu pointed to the farmland: "Look at your Huangzhuang, it is obvious that a canal can be built here, as long as there is a canal, at least the grain production can be doubled, but the little eunuch also said, The amount of food is not important, the important thing is the silver, which is in the pocket of the emperor, because the emperor has no such demand!"

"But what about the people?"

Zhang Haogu said: "They don't have the manpower, nor the material resources. The money in the hands of the emperor can be used to build water conservancy projects, buy farm fertilizers, cultivate fine varieties, and reform farm tools. However, the results are very slow and cannot be guaranteed immediately. Income, but in the long run, fertilizers will improve, grain varieties will increase yields, and reforms in farm tools will make it easier for people to plow the land!!"

"The emperor can take the risk, but the people can't afford it. Maybe a drought will make the fertilizer useless. If the harvest happens to be good, the tax and food will also increase. In this case, they can't use the fertilizer, seeds, and farm tools. Work hard, if they have money, they will only exchange the surplus food for money and bury it!"

"In the past, farmers borrowed money mainly to cope with funerals, illnesses, and spring famines, rather than to develop production, such as digging wells, buying plows, and buying livestock. The money spent can neither increase productivity nor improve the economy. If things go on like this, day after day Day after day, year after year, they just feel like it's always been that way!"

Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought.

Zhang Haogu went on to say: "Your Majesty, if you are full and warm, you will think about clothing warmly if the people are full. They will consider making more money and buying more clothes. However, now they need to get An ox and a plow mean that they could eat enough, but now they have to go hungry. These people have nothing to do for at least half a year, because after the autumn harvest, there is no other economic pressure, and they are like livestock. The same, survive a winter, do not work, eat less, in order to maintain the ration until the beginning of spring!"

"Idle funds, wasted labor, and declining production are sufferings for the common people, but for the emperor, it is also a kind of suffering. The money in the internal funds is getting less and less, and the money in the court is getting less and less!"

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time, slowly digesting the reason Zhang Haogu analyzed for himself.

If it was the past, Zhu Youxiao probably wouldn't listen to it, but Zhang Haogu dragged him around for more than half a year.

What he saw, heard, and thought gave Zhu Youxiao a new understanding.

He nodded solemnly: "Master's words are justified. I heard this before, but I just thought it was bad. Now that I think about it, if I can't do it, how can I make the country rich and strong!"

"Your majesty's warm thoughts are what people think, what people want, and they can't be suppressed!" Zhang Haogu said: "I think that the emperor should guide well, so that the country can be strong and the people rich! "

"This isn't Neo-Confucianism, is this Psychology?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Your Majesty also knows the difference between Confucianism and Psychology?" Zhang Haogu laughed.

"Yes!" Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I've heard about it from Master Sun before!"

"Your Majesty, what I advocate is neither Neo-Confucianism nor mental learning, but practical learning!" Zhang Haogu said, "What you seek is to increase the strength of the country, to enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and to practice true knowledge!"
