No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 1033 Economy
Sun Quan's visit was not in vain, because Sun Lang discussed economic issues with him. This was also because the old lady mentioned the creation of job opportunities when she was discussing whether to employ more people.

Ou Mengmeng really just said it casually, because she didn't really understand. Even though she has been to many worlds, she is still like this now, only giving ideas, and the rest is completed by professionals.

What is economics? As a primary school principal, what does she need to know about economics? She once saw her sons watching a talk show where a bank president was being interviewed.

The old man said, Keynesian theory! He said he won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

The core of this theory is that when facing economic depression and insufficient consumption, the government should decisively adopt expansionary economic policies. The popular explanation is to hire a group of people to "dig holes" and then hire another group of people to "fill holes" the next day. In this way, GDP will go up, residents' income will increase, consumption will increase, and the crisis will be resolved.

At that time, Ou Mengmeng felt that she was a little confused. If they dug and then filled, and used the taxes paid by the people to give money to the people, then why not use tax exemption or just give money directly? Her son laughed and explained to her.

Digging a hole is just an analogy. When our country feels that the economy is in trouble, it works hard on infrastructure. At this time, the economy is not good, so what will happen? Labor is cheap, and then some bulk trade markets such as steel and cement will be weak. At this time, even tax exemption or giving money to the people cannot solve the problem. What should we do at this time?
If the government decided to build a high-speed railway at this time, would the workers of steel and cement companies have jobs? Would they need to buy land to build the high-speed railway, and would they need many migrant workers to participate in the labor? So if we calculate, would building this road solve the problem of food and drink for all the grasshoppers on the line at once? When the economy improves, the high-speed railway will be ready for use. The cost will also be much cheaper than when the economy is good.

After this explanation, Ou Mengmeng understood that you have to give people jobs and let them have income. In this way, the impact is not just on one person, but on people along the same line.

So just now she was struggling with whether she should take advantage of the good economic situation in Jiangdong and not rush to make money, but spend the money, so as to ensure the vitality of the market. She unconsciously said a few words to her son.

Sun Lang was enlightened when he heard his mother talk about creating job opportunities. Before, he thought that running a national school would cost money, but somehow, it made Jiangdong make money. The old lady's casual words just now explained the problem clearly. So, his mind suddenly became active.

They started chatting with Sun Quan, and what they talked about was not a small workshop, but the problem of the chain. The two brothers were very smart, and they immediately called Zhang Zhao, an expert in internal affairs, and then they had a new plan, not targeting Nanxu, but as the old lady said before, slowly going deep into the southwest.

Another thing is that the old lady likes the art of machinery, which is to solve the problem of insufficient heavy physical labor in the workshop.

After years of war, this problem existed everywhere. Who doesn't want to develop agriculture? For example, Cao Cao created a system of farming, where soldiers served during war and farmers worked during leisure time. In order to raise military funds, it is said that a team of tomb raiders was formed. This also shows that the common dilemma of warlords in various places was that everyone had no money and no labor. They were all trying to think of a solution. The old lady's idea was not hers alone. It is said that Zhuge Liang was also using mechanical techniques in Jingzhou to solve the problem of liberating labor.

Everyone is trying to find a solution, and the old lady is not unique. The mechanism is also a technique, one of the hundred schools. Now Sun Lang wants to talk to Sun Quan about this, one mechanism and one economic issue. Sun Lang thinks they can be combined!

Find someone who makes machinery and see if they can solve the problem of farming. In this way, the machinery itself can become an industry. Then, do we need people to cut bamboo, assemble it, etc.? By selling machinery, we can also treat farming like a workshop and break down the work. For example, for heavy labor work that machinery cannot solve, such as the final harvest, we can send soldiers to do it. Sun Quan suddenly thought of the old lady’s talk with him about Chen Sheng and the Yellow Turban Movement who broke through the barriers. In the end, she said, "Fight the local tyrants and divide the land!" As long as the person who breaks through the barriers is not him, it will be fine. Of course, after looking at Sun Lang, Sun Lang had no idea what Sun Quan was thinking. He was thinking about how to unite the noble families in various places and how to combine the land to form a better synergy.

Sun Quan thought he was just being too suspicious, as his brother had never thought about this, so he discussed it with Zhang Zhao and several civil officials in charge of the economy to see how the economy could be implemented.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei were still thinking about how to stop Jiangdong from developing the cultural industry, but they ended up changing their course again.

Of course, when everyone was busy, a small incident happened in Jiangdong. Sun Quan's wife, Xu, was ill. Ou Mengmeng was also busy with the ink pad issue. When she returned to the mansion to rest, she heard from the maid that Xu had caught a cold while busy with New Year's affairs. So she couldn't come to pay her respects, and asked for her forgiveness.

Ou Mengmeng was stunned for a moment. Xu's greeting was acceptable. Anyway, everyone did a good job in this kind of face-saving project. Xu liked to show her virtue the most. The problem was that Wu Guotai never cared about things. No matter what you said, I would not pay attention. This was even more true for Ou Mengmeng. What did Xu mean by passing on this message now?

Ou Mengmeng was also very tired at this time, so she only asked the maid to quickly send her some silk and cloth as a reward. As for other things, she didn't dare to send them for fear of causing trouble. When she responded, the other daughters-in-law and Sun Shangxiang also went to take a look. The matter was over.

However, Sun Shangxiang was still a little worried. She looked at Xu and wanted to go back to talk to her mother, but then she thought better of it and went back to the workshop.

Ou Mengmeng didn't think much about it. She always kept a distance from the matter. Is he really thinking about everything and not doing his job? After a few days' rest, he went back to work.

While waiting for the New Year, Ou Mengmeng and Xu also attended the highest night banquet in Jiangdong, to show the stability of the Sun family to all the old ministers and their families.

That day, Sun Quan specially let his only son Sun Deng sit in Ou Mengmeng's arms. Ou Mengmeng was very familiar with this kind of thing. She really didn't care about political propaganda work.

At this time, Sun Quan had only one son, Sun Deng, who was only two years old, chubby, and good-looking. He looked very handsome. Xu was wearing thick makeup, and it was winter, so it was hard to tell. Ou Mengmeng smiled and greeted her, then sat in the highest seat, holding her grandson to watch the singing and dancing. Since we are here, let's have some fun.

Well, if you like Old Lady Sheng, then please write it. "The Story of Minglan" seems to be a story of a concubine's struggle. But it is actually a book of restraint. The heroine has been restraining herself and trying to live. And I have read a lot of fairy tales recently, all of which are about restraining everything about themselves and carefully trying to live forever. Then I want to ask a question, is the meaning of longevity to live in humiliation? But reality tells us that freedom comes at a price. As adults, we comfort ourselves that we live in humiliation because we yearn for freedom. Living in humiliation is the price we pay for freedom. At this time, have we found the answer? What we call freedom should be preceded by the word "wealth".
