Destiny Only Han

Chapter 370 Liu Ying: If you dare to talk nonsense, you will be beaten to death!

After Liu Ying finished speaking, not only Zhang Buyi was stunned, but even Zhao Yao, who was holding a small notebook to record, was also stunned.

"Too?"

"What is Tor?"

Looking at the confused faces in front of her, Liu Ying thought back to the famous "Gallich you are ruthless", "Jiang youjun" and "Douyouwan", so she said happily: "Have you heard of drumming and passing flowers?"

Zhang Buyi said with some uncertainty: "Is it the kind of game played at Your Majesty's reception?"

Liu Ying nodded: "That's it. But our way of beating drums and spreading flowers is different from his. That is, when wealthy households sell their assets, we also sell the corresponding assets, but it is anonymous, and the parties to the transaction must all It’s all our people.”

"To give a specific example, such as slaves, if a local adult male is worth [-] yuan, the price of the big households is about this amount, so what we have to do is to find two people dressed as slaves and send them to the market , with a price tag of four thousand and five."

"Then, another wave of our people bought it. At this time, the adult male slave price in the market is [-], which is the highest price."

"When the big players realize that they can't sell it for [-] yuan, they will most likely choose to drop it to [-] yuan. After all, time is on our side. We can wait and see, but they can't."

"At this time, the third wave of people came out, took out another batch of slaves, and priced them at [-], and the fourth wave of people bought them. At this time, the upper limit of the price of slaves in the market has become [-]..."

Zhang Buyi interjected: "Then send out the fifth and sixth waves, and repeat the previous operation?"

"No." Liu Ying shook her head, with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth: "Let's go home at this time, and repeat this operation when we change to another market tomorrow."

Zhao Yao frowned and asked, "Why?"

Liu Ying explained: "Everyone has a rebellious psychology. When the market price drops one after another, it is easy for him to feel that he will never sell even if he loses his hands. At this time, if he repeats his old tricks, he will probably mess up. Smash everything!"

"So, wait a bit, change places, and let the whole market accept the new price. After all, everyone has the idea of ​​chasing ups and downs. If the price of a certain commodity keeps falling, even buyers who are willing to bid will become hesitate."

"The reason is very simple. Everyone's money is not brought by strong winds. If the front foot is sold out and the price is lowered, wouldn't it be a loss? The opposite is different. People will rush to buy a commodity that is constantly increasing in price, and they will not Without the slightest hesitation!"

Zhang Buyi nodded heavily: "I understand, for example, the small brown box of Natural Hall that my mother often buys... I heard that the price is getting higher and higher every time, but every time it goes on the shelves, it will be sold out in an instant... If not My mother has a good relationship with the empress, please ask the store to keep a little for me, otherwise I will buy it from the scalper at a higher price!"

Old Lu is really black, he really is a grand slam of acquaintances... Liu Ying complained in her heart, but saw that Zhao Yao's face was a little bit wrong, so she watched the other party quietly, and was going to drag him out when the other party talked too much kill.

But Zhao Yao lowered his voice unconsciously and said, "Do you know who is behind those scalpers?"

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Buyi asked gossipingly, "Who is it?"

Zhao Yao said in a voice that could only be heard by the three people in the room: "Lieutenant of the Guard, Chen Ping..."

Hearing Chen Ping's name, Liu Ying was not surprised. After all, it is a great skill to find a legitimate way to make money from emerging things.

Liu Ying looked at Zhao Yao and said: "After you arrive in Qidi, take people and money and go to various places, lower the price as much as possible and buy the slaves they sold... Well, there are a few new ships of slaves at Yeyi Port, So we have no shortage of resources to disrupt the market."

Zhao Yao wrote it down and asked again: "What about the field?"

Liu Ying waved her hand and said, "We're not going to buy land this time. There's a lot of undeveloped wasteland anyway. It's too cost-effective to buy farmland that has been reclaimed at a high price."

The upper and lower limits of the price of land are very high. Ordinary wasteland is only one or two hundred yuan per mu, but if it is well-cultivated farmland, it will cost at least three to five hundred yuan to start. For example, the upper field near the canal can easily reach two to three thousand yuan. mu.

Moreover, Liu Ying and Liu Fei have reached a consensus that they will expand the breeding industry in the counties of Qi State, and occupy the unowned wasteland at will, without paying the government to buy the land.

But if you want to engage in the breeding industry, you first need grain and fodder for raising livestock, so the farmland used as a breeding garden is also free of money...

So what Liu Ying lacked was people, not land.

Hearing that Liu Ying didn't buy land, and thinking about the way his mother managed the family business, Zhang Buyi frowned and asked:

"Why do you want so many people? I remember that my mother bought the manor directly, that is, people and land together..."

Liu Ying glanced at him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you seen the living conditions of those slaves? Or have you ever been to the corner of the market where slaves are sold?"

Zhang Buyi stared blankly and shook his head slowly.

Although the Zhang family was no longer prominent with the collapse of South Korea, his great-grandfather Zhang Kaidi served as Minister of the Han for three consecutive dynasties, and his grandfather Zhang Ping also served as the Minister of the Han for two dynasties.

Although Feifeng has faded, she will never set foot in the sewer quagmire.

Liu Ying raised a wry smile: "I have seen, just outside the city of Linzi, those male and female slaves, in the words of the Qin State, are servants and concubines. pick."

"Do you know why they don't have any clothes to wear? Because those clothes belong to their owners, and if they are resold, the buyer will have to pay an extra price. Even if those clothes are actually made by themselves..."

"I don't remember many scenes at that time, but the smell of sweat, blood and excrement is still in my mind..."

"Those slaves are no longer considered human beings. They are two-legged animals who can be picked and picked like goods. They are haggard and unkempt, with dull eyes..."

"Man cannot and should not suffer such a fate!"

"But at that time, I didn't buy any of them, because I saved ten, twenty, one hundred... But I couldn't save all of them. How many millions of people in the world are suffering from such a fate?"

"So this time, let's start with Qi!"

Zhang Buyi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked slightly choked with sobs: "You bought the slaves, are you going to make them all free?"

The pattern is broken...Liu Ying shook her head and said: "There has never been a savior in the world...the only one who can free them from slavery is themselves."

"I plan to send the slaves I bought to the farm that I co-operate with my elder brother, and then pay them wages and allow them to use the money to redeem themselves as ordinary people."

"After all, people don't always cherish what they get easily. If the price of obtaining freedom is too cheap, then the possibility of wearing the shackles again will be infinite..."

Seeing Zhang Buyi with red eyes, Liu Ying suddenly felt a little annoyed, this guy is a man, there is no use in trying to favor him...

Huh, it seems that there are...

Liu Ying shook her head, dispelling some GAY thoughts in GAY.

There are some things he can't tell Zhang Buyi clearly, that is, the work efficiency of slavery and the speed of creating social wealth are actually no less than that of self-cultivating farmers or early factories.

The ostensible reason for the Civil War in the Beautiful Country was to free slaves, but in fact it was to force the planters in the south to cut off trade with the Great Empire and sell raw materials to factory owners in the north at a low price.

It's just a twist of fate that although the North won the battle, the big boss was assassinated and killed, the second boss turned into the big boss, and then many things returned to the original starting point...

After all, after the peace talks between the North and the South, the big boss was the leader of the north, and the second boss was the leader of the south before...

It's just that for Liu Ying, releasing slaves into free people can not only promote the improvement of productivity, but he actually got rid of a burden.

Slaves are a group of people who have no personal freedom and property rights at all, so they need to live dependent on slave owners, but rights and obligations are actually equal.

When slave owners enjoy everything created by slaves, they need to take care of the slaves’ basic necessities of life, weddings and funerals.

When a slave is transformed into a free man, these obligations disappear.

If slaves without means of production wanted to survive, they had to become tenant farmers.

But in this way, the slave owner who turned himself into a landlord continued to live by sucking blood, but he needed to pay less than before.

That's why the abolitionist movement arose, so sheep cannibalized people, and farmers were driven into factories to become industrial workers, which naturally followed one after another...

Liu Ying touched the ropes vaguely wrapped around her neck, waved Zhao Yao to prepare to go to Qi, and immediately looked at Zhang Buyi, who was poked into tears, a little worried.

In his torment, Xiao Lu walked in from the outside, looked at Zhang Buyi with tears on his face, and was stunned for a moment. His eyes wandered repeatedly on Liu Ying and Zhang Buyi, and he couldn't help showing a few strange smiles. .

Zhang Buyi waved his hands in a panic: "We didn't do anything..."

For a moment, Liu Ying put her hand on her forehead, and didn't bother to say a word.

After a while, he finally let out a long sigh, looked up at Xiao Lu and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Lu withdrew his playful eyes, and handed out a few pamphlets with both hands: "The literacy atlas that His Highness ordered to compile has been written, and this is the first draft. If Your Highness has no other suggestions, I will order the printing workshop to print it. "

Driven by curiosity, Zhang Buyi, who was in the midst of death, came back to life, approached Liu Ying and asked, "What is a literacy atlas?"

Liu Ying casually handed out a copy: "It is an enlightenment reading material for character recognition... Some commonly used characters are marked on it, and the memory is deepened with pictures and texts."

Well, this is a tool he uses to eliminate illiteracy, roughly similar to the literacy board used by two or three-year-old children.
