Chapter 165 Chapter 160 Five Popularization of Knowledge

Su Xi looked at the news that Hou Junji told him, and was a little dumbfounded.

Let me go, there are still such muddled operations in this world, the key is that the operation is successful.

"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

Su Xi looked at Hou Junji dumbfounded.

If Li Chengqian can unite the merchants, Su Xi believes that Li Chengqian can at least beat Li Tai.

With the help of businessmen, it can be very strong.

"Boy, can I still lie to you? The question now is, do you think businessmen can do it?"

Hou Junji frowned, Su Xi's performance made her not know what to say.

Su Xi nodded.

"Okay, of course, merchant, what a power.

Excluding the peasants and aristocrats, they are considered to be the strongest forces in the entire Tang Dynasty. "

Su Xi never underestimates businessmen, because they are really strong.

The intelligence network all over the Tang Dynasty, the determination to travel north and south, the determination not to be afraid of anything.

It's just that the land of Greater China is not suitable for them to grow.

Think of those plutocrats, oligarchs, and arms dealers living outside.

Those big businessmen can decide the direction of a country, and they support a group of scientific researchers, just ask you if it is scary.

Form a small kingdom.

Su Xi agreed too quickly, and Hou Junji frowned even deeper.

He really didn't understand, so he came to ask Su Xi.

Seeing Lao Hou like this, Su Xi took a deep breath, took out a pen and paper, and began to explain.

"You see, the construction of each country is divided into several important parts.

Farmers are responsible for cultivating the land and supplying food output.

Workers are responsible for making tools and goods, which can improve work efficiency.

Merchants are responsible for the circulation of goods.

Emperors and officials are responsible for governing the country.

Soldiers are responsible for fighting wars and protecting the country.

These are the basic classes of the country, do you understand? "

Su Xi was afraid that Hou Junji would not understand, so she asked specifically.

Hou Junji nodded to show that he could understand at this time.

Su Xi continued to explain: "Businessmen, emperors, officials, and workers are all people who are completely out of production, and they are not responsible for production.

We Datang Fubing belong to the half-time population.

And all of this is related to farmers, that is, our food production cannot increase.

Can you understand. "

Su Xi continued to ask.

Hou Junji nodded, understanding: "That is to say, we are all parasites lying on farmers' bodies and sucking blood."

Su Xi nodded, yes, there is nothing wrong with your understanding, it is completely correct.

"These are nothing, the next explanation is the key point."

Su Xi became serious this time.

"An important reason for the collapse of the country is that there are too many people out of production, and the food supply of farmers cannot meet the needs of the country's population.

And the upper class exploited the peasants layer by layer.

Peasants died on a large scale, and finally the country collapsed.

For details, think about Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Liao. "

Hou Junji is not an idiot, he figured it out immediately.

Emperor Sui Yang conquered Liao three times, and each time he summoned more than one million soldiers.

For one million soldiers, at least 300 million people are needed for logistical transportation and support.

A large amount of labor directly caused the country's food production and supply to collapse.

After figuring it out, Hou Junji looked at Su Xi with respect.

This is a university question.

"But what does that have to do with merchants?"

Su Xi smiled.

"In my opinion, the businessman is the birth of desire."

"Artisans produce good tools.

Women want good looking jewelry.

Men want better merchandise.

Farmers want more output from their land.

People need to taste other things, to get out and about, to understand how big the world is.

Businessmen, in theory, are responsible for communication and enriching the market. "

What Su Xi said was simple, and Hou Junji could understand it.

"But I still don't think merchants are so important."

Hou Junji shook his head.

Su Xi smiled.

"No, on the contrary, it is very important. Commercial activities have existed since ancient times, as long as people have desires, they cannot be prohibited.

As long as commercial activities are controlled within a certain range, the entire country can be prosperous.

Think about it, if all the rivers in the world were cut off, what would happen to the earth. "

In an instant, Hou Junji broke out in a cold sweat.

The earth is dry and nothing can grow.

"If there is no exchange of goods, and the family only cares about what they eat, let me tell you, a drought and a snowstorm will cause the entire Tang Dynasty to enter the countdown."

Businessmen are harmful, but you cannot deny the significance of their existence.

Don’t you all know how the big brother of the Soviet Union ended up playing in later generations?

It is true that faith is higher than desire, but the capital only reveals its good life, and the bottom people can't accept it.

Why is the country so strong and I work so hard to live, but the result is still not so good?

Yes, I'm full.

But I still want to marry a wife.

I also want to wander around, I want to experience a better life.

A flip pocket, no money.

So Su Xi compared businessmen to rivers, there is nothing wrong with that.

"If the businessmen support the prince and can effectively use the businessmen, it will be a great thing for the country.

At least, we no longer need to rely on the family to spread technology and tools.

Moreover, businessmen themselves have a certain amount of technology. "

Speaking of this, a gleam flashed in Su Xi's eyes.

A businessman is indeed a wonderful existence.

Some of them have money and technology, and they have what they want, but they have no status.

Hou Junji decided to listen to Su Xi.

Who made Su Xi explain so many things he thought were correct.

After returning, Hou Junji wrote down his conversation with Su Xi and sent it back.

After thinking about it, he wrote to Li Er what Su Xi said about the relationship between grain production and the country's collapse.

The second half can be cut.

Anyway, he thinks what Su Xi said is right.

When Emperor Sui Yang died, we can know from the treasury food they received when they broke through Chang'an that it wasn't that the country was out of food, but that the people couldn't survive.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought more foreign wars, and did not see the Han Dynasty perish.

The grain output of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not as good as theirs at that time, and it was a battle of tens of thousands of people at every turn.

what is the reason?
Thinking about it now, it's not that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't touch the cheese of the people.

The second emperor Wen Jing filled the treasury after feeding the people, and then left a good hand for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The Eight Kings Rebellion killed a lot of people who were out of production at that time, and all their assets were confiscated, and the land was given to farmers for planting.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the gap between professional soldiers and government soldiers.

Fubing can't die too much.

Professional soldiers, on the contrary, allow the situation of total annihilation.

Once too many government soldiers die, the country's peasant food supply system will collapse.

Fubing also has another responsibility, which is the output of cultivated land.

There are no professional soldiers.

This is the gap.

There is a huge gap between the two.

Emperor Wu used professional soldiers. At that time, he was really rich.

Su Xi didn't say this.

However, after receiving Hou Junji's letter, Li Er and the great lords of the Tang Dynasty would reason it out.
