Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 229 Economic War

Chapter 233 Economic War

Ran Ming nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Recruiting soldiers and soldiers is just one of them. What Ming thinks in his heart is more than that."

Ran Ming said that he handed Wang Meng a few sheets of rice paper pressed on the corner of the carriage table, and said to Wang Meng with a smile: "Sir, let's see if there are any omissions in this plan, and if there is anything wrong Please testify, sir, Ming believes that if the crown prince does not come to provoke Ming, give Ming another five years, and Ming can use the land of 23 counties in one country to stage what is called ants shaking the elephant!"

Wang Meng was overjoyed when he heard the words, took a look, and said in surprise: "Economic war?"

Ran Mingdao: "The so-called economic war, in fact, from the perspective of the impact of war on the economy, one is to minimize the impact of war on the economy, and the other is to profit from the war."

Then, Ran Ming explained the relationship between war and economy from Pang Gu's "War Economics" before, during, and after the war, and then some classic theories of Paul Post.

For example, "Expenditure is more important than equipment in war, and equipment can only be equipped with money." "Money is the source of power in war", and "Whoever has the last dollar will always win" told Wang Meng.

Although Wang Meng was smart and talented, his thinking after a thousand years still stunned Wang Meng on the spot. Wang Meng struggled to digest the shock that Ran Ming brought him. After about half an hour, Wang Meng finally recovered from the shock. Come on.

"Your Highness is a talented person, so hard to deal with the unexpected!" Ran Ming said: "Economy is a sharp sword in Gu's hand. When you swing the sword, you will be invincible. Let's see, sir, how Gu can make the princes of the world dance in Gu's heart! "

At this moment, Ran Ming's immature aura disappeared, replaced by that kind of domineering arrogance.

Wang Meng secretly sighed in his heart, "This is the Ming Lord who makes Meng surrender and is willing to assist!"

Wang Meng hadn't had time to digest the concept of economic war for a while, but he felt that Ran Ming's idea was a bit novel, bold, and more whimsical.

Looking at Ran Ming's confident look, Wang Meng finally couldn't help letting go of his doubts, and asked, "Although food, weapons, and armor are very important in war, how can we use the economy to attack the enemy?" ?”

"Good question." Ran Ming laughed and said, "I didn't start the economic war first, but there was a precedent!"

Wang Meng was even more surprised at this time. If Ran Ming was the first to propose the model of economic warfare, he didn't know it. If there were precedents in ancient times, wouldn't he be suspected of being ignorant and ignorant.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Qi, which is about the size of the country from Licheng to Jiaodong, was small and sparsely populated, with little land and people, and very little food production. Subduing Lu Liang. At that time, Guan Zhong persuaded the king of Qi to encourage Qi to wear clothes made of rice paddies woven by Liang and Lu. The price of Qi's rice rose sharply. , use the money earned from Qi State to buy grain from Qi State, which is more profitable than farming, so give up grain production and specialize in the production of rice materials. When Guan Zhong sees that the two countries no longer grow grain, he specializes in using Weaving gets profit. And yes..."

After being reminded by Ran Ming, Wang Meng already knew about the following.

Guan Zhong suddenly ruthlessly forbade the officials and people of Qi to wear clothes made of rice material, and he also refused to send food to Lu and Liang from Qi. There was not a lot of food, and the price of food rose sharply. Due to the lack of agricultural production for a long time, the land was barren, and agricultural production could not be restored for a long time.

Guan Zhong succeeded, and took Lu Guo and Liang Guo without any effort, and Qi Guo's territory stretched from the coast of Shandong to Liangcheng (today's northern part of Shangqiu) in the west.

"Then Guan Zhong also adopted the same method. At a very small price, he ruled Chu with deer skin and descended with fox skin. He did not use swords to clear the way, but used economic warfare to seize four out of ten of Chu's land, occupying Dai, In the land of Lu and Liang, among the seven heroes of the Warring States period, Qi became one of the seven hegemons with no bloodshed." Ran Ming said firmly: "This is the magical effect of economic warfare."

Ran Ming also lamented secretly that China and the two countries have been carrying out an economic war in secret. Of course, when China is still complacent and known as the world's factory, it has actually entered the trap of the United States without knowing it.

It is a pity that among some economic experts, no one sees this problem.Or they simply don't want to look at the problem.

In later generations in China, more than 80.00% of the factories survived in the form of OEM professional manufacturing. They do not have their own brands, do not have their own scientific and technological research and development capabilities, but occupy a large amount of China's labor force.

If the war starts and the United States cuts off foreign trade imports from China, more than millions of factories in China will close down within half a year, hundreds of millions of workers will lose their jobs, and hundreds of millions of families will face economic crisis. In the midst of endless civil strife.

No matter how strong the army's military strength is, it will be held back and lose three points before the battle.

Maybe some people will refute that if China stops exporting goods to the United States, the United States will be devastated.In fact, these are all self-deceiving ideas. If you can’t eat salt for 94 cents a catty, if you eat salt for two yuan a bag, will you be against the country?Of course not, at most a little dissatisfied.Since 28, the inflation rate has been nearly [-] times. Even if the increase in wages is included, the price difference is an astonishing [-] times.But the Chinese people are still living steadily.

China only cares about some insignificant industrial items of the United States. The United States has a certain influence, and it will definitely not bring too many negative effects.Even if there is, the US government can resolve it.

On the contrary, as long as there is an economic collapse in China's manufacturing sector, it will affect the vulnerable financial sector. In this way, God knows what will happen.But if the United States, like Guan Zhong, prohibits the import of all kinds of goods from China and the export of goods to China, China's decades of development will be ruined.

Of course, this issue cannot be blamed on others.This is the fate of putting your own life in the hands of others!

There is no need for Ran Ming to worry about this issue now. Even if Ran Ming is worried, it is useless. Ran Ming changed the subject, of course, "Guan Zhong's method is still very one-sided! There is a unique method that can produce excellent looms and weave more beautiful looms." Finer, denser and more refined silk and silk. At the lowest price, occupy the overall market of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At the same time, Gu can increase the intensity of purchasing grain from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and use it to vigorously brew green wine (made in Qingzhou). It was sold to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and earned a lot of money and food. There is a unique method, which can dye seven-color or even ten-color cloth and silk, and then sell it to the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

"One day, all the gentry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty will get used to eating all kinds of canned food, wine, and all the princes and nobles produced in Qingzhou. Drink our green tea..." Ran Ming stood up suddenly, opened the car door, and stood on the frame, watching the wheels rolling forward, holding a horizontal knife in his left hand, and his cloak fluttering in the wind.At this time, Ran Ming exudes a strong aura of a superior, not only because he is the King of Jiaodong in the Great Wei, but also because he has been a big business man in later generations, and he has cultivated the power for a long time!
Ran Ming's face showed an aggressive and domineering look. "If you cut off the import of materials from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be the same as the Dai, Liang, and Lu Three Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. When they regret it, they will be unable to face it, and they will be punished alone!"

Only then did Wang Meng truly understand what a terrifying force Ran Ming's so-called economic war is.

If the rice paper that scholars are accustomed to using is suddenly cut off, they will no longer be able to use the expensive, yellow, and smelly Caihou paper and Zuobo paper. The children turned their anger.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to simple!
At this moment, Wang Meng suddenly became enlightened. He knew what he should do. Not only could he use this method for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also for Wei, Qin, Dai, Liang, and Yan.This economic sanction is feasible!

Wang Meng said: "Your Highness, if we want to start an economic war, I'm afraid our current production scale in Qingzhou is too small!"

"This is for sure. This world is very big. At the same time, this world does not belong to our Ran family, nor does it belong to the Sima family, nor does it belong to the Murong family, nor does it belong to the Fu family. This world belongs to the people of the world. The benefits of the world, Our Ran family can't take it all, and we don't have such a big appetite. Now that the Ran family is already the emperor's family, the emperor's family should have the bearing of the emperor's family."

Ran Ming nodded, and then said: "Father, you can keep the force of the Jie people who have vengeance against the clan for use in the Imperial Forest Army, and you can keep the Jie people around in Gong'e Palace, and you can let the Xiongnu descend to take charge of the military, lead troops to fight, and rely on them." It is the mind and courage of all rivers and rivers. As long as you have a strong heart, you can tolerate everything. You don’t build a country with your family, but you can tolerate everything with a broad mind. The emperor wants to use his famous army that looks down on him, and wants to The whole world declares that there is no kingdom in the world, as long as it is what we want, we can get it."

"I seem to understand a little bit," Wang Meng said.

"Sir, you are a great talent. Our Ran family will become the co-lord of the world. All the gentry in the world are the people of our Ran family just like all the people. We can't guard against them like wolves. If there are no enemies, this There is no fun in the world! It is infinitely fun to fight with people, and it is infinitely fun to fight with the sky..."

Wang Meng said: "His Royal Highness wants to share the benefits with the great gentry?"

Ran Ming nodded and said: "Superiors can't just ask their subordinates to pay, they must also give their subordinates something in return. It is human kindness to have contacts.

When the king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, the ministers regard the emperor as his heart; You can give benefits to the gentry, of course, they also need to repay the solitary, the solitary wants the land, and wants their shady households, if they can make the solitary earn more, the solitary will also make them more profitable!
