Mohist Tang

“Sloppy, misleading?” Mo Dun suddenly raised his head and stared at Yu Zhining, “The Sutra of Getting Rich is a summary of Mohist Village’s successful experience and a practical strategy to enrich the people. , How did it become misleading among the imperial Censor?”

Yu Zhining said with a sneer: “For thousands of years, the dynasties have been heavy farming and suppressing business. How did it become in the mouth of Marquis of Mo? If there is no business but no life, it is the first to do business in Yazhou. The cheap tribute in Yazhou has been multiplied by the Mohist Family. If everyone in the world is doing business, chasing profits, and forgetting the benefits, wouldnt it be bad etiquette? This ethos is the result of the Mohist Family taking the lead.”

Mo Dun sneered and retorted: “Since Mr. Yu thinks businessmen are worthless, why not play Your Majesty and prohibit the people from doing business in the world.”

“Um!” Yu Zhining was choked at once. Although he agreed to emphasize agriculture and restrain business, if he banned the world from doing business, he would definitely be laughed out of his teeth.

“Since ancient times, the emphasis on agriculture and commerce is based on the fact that the world is not rich in products, and the people are still short of clothing and food. Paying attention to agriculture is the foundation of the country. Only with sufficient food can the society be stable. The last years of the dynasties If the people dont have a living, its because the people dont have enough food to live and cause social unrest. This is exactly what we call instability without agriculture. Mo Dun said loudly.

numerous officials could not help being nodded. They had experienced the turmoil in the end of the Sui Dynasty. Naturally, they knew that the cause of the turmoil was that the people could not live anymore.

“As for having no job and not getting rich, a bucket of grain is no more than three or five pennies. If it is ground into flour, the price can increase by 30%. If it is made into a cake, the profit can be multiple times; an egg is only one penny. Money, the price of hatching chickens has doubled; a catty of iron material is less than ten liters, and a catty of good steel has more than one hundred wen. As for the price of tribute oranges, you know that Mohist Village was transported from remote Yazhou to Chang’an City How much manpower and material resources are needed, coupled with the Mohist Familys secrets to keep the citrus fresh as before, this price is also extremely fair, as evidenced by the fact that the people in Changan City buy them one after another. The so-called work is to process agricultural products through Mohist Technology. And to double the value, this is the reason why no work is not rich, and also the reason why Mohist Village is rich.” Mo Dun said boldly.

“The so-called “no business is not living?” Yu Zhining asked rhetorically. Great Tang also emphasizes agriculture and restrains business, while Mohist Family Son’s “Getting Rich Jing” publicly supports businessmen. He sees how Mo Dun justifies himself.

Mo Dun boldly said: “The merchant does not produce, but he rushes between the two places to realize the exchange of what is needed. Now Great Tang is flourishing. With the progress of Great Tang Mohist Technology, Bending Plow And pesticides can increase grain production year after year. Artificial incubation technology allows chickens, ducks and geese everywhere, and grafting technology allows melons and fruits to be everywhere. At this time, people who grow food want to eat meat, and those who breed chickens and ducks want to eat fruit, and grow Fruit. Tree wants food. These require merchants to transport goods and exchange what is needed. The people exchange their excess gains for money, so that everyone can get the material they want. This is no business without life. Yazhou does not produce food, but it is rich in tribute oranges. If there are no merchants to bring food and buy tribute oranges, I am afraid that the tribute oranges covering the mountains and plains are rotten on the trees and no one cares. What about the people in Chang’an City Can taste this kind of delicacy.”

Numerous officials have nodded. Although everyone says that they emphasize agriculture and suppress business, in private, which one does not secretly conduct business, otherwise how to maintain a decent Chang’an City life.

“The world is indispensable for all people. Merchants are also an indispensable part of the world. Of course, there are also many illegal businessmen who hoard odds and use shoddy goods. This requires the supervision of the Imperial Court.” Mo Dun added.

Yu Zhining haha said with a smile: “Marquis of Mo cant hide the fact that the worlds wealth is just a bowl of water. If one person takes more, one person takes less. The so-called Mohist Village and Yazhou are prosperous, but they are just taking the wealth of the world to fatten the two places.”

Yu Zhining’s words immediately caused many civil servants to nod their heads. Since ancient times, the worlds wealth is a bowl of water. The theory has become universally recognized. As soon as Yu Zhining’s theory came out, it immediately aroused widespread support.

Mo Dun furiously scolded: “It’s ridiculous. A bowl of wealth in the world is simply a big fallacy. Wealth is not quantitative, but created by thousands of people absolutely Great Tang, otherwise Great Tangs taxes have been increasing year after year. Where did the extra money come from? Could it be that the Imperial Court is searching for the people again.”

“Mohist Family Son, you must not be ranting.” Yu Zhining’s face was overwhelming. It is embarrassing that if the taxation of the previous years is roughly the same, Yu Zhining’s statement seems extremely correct. However, since the Mohist Family Mohist Technology has been widely used, Great Tang’s taxation has skyrocketed year after year, and this sentence was immediately filled with loopholes. Mo Dun hit him directly as soon as he shot.

“Xiaguan is not just talking nonsense. The wealth of the world is a bowl of water. It may be so in a short period of time. However, from a long-term perspective, the wealth of the world is constantly growing. Take Great For Tangs taxation, the 10% increase in taxation every year is the wealth created by the people of Great Tang over the past year.

“This is only the data of recent years. Comparing the dynasties, you will find that the wealth of Great Tang today will far exceed that of the previous dynasties. Where did these wealth come from? “Mo Dun asked back.

Yan Shigu nodded said: “Also, taking the most powerful Hanwu period, its annual tax is less than 50% of Great Tang now. “

“Further in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the land of China was barren, and the people all over the world built a city and opened up a piece of farmland. These are the wealth created by the people, and it is my Chinese people. The hard work of generations has made me the wealthy I am waiting for today. Not to mention that the original one acre of farmland yielded only three pallets, as todays farmland is generally four pallets. The original two-wheeled Carriage has a cargo capacity of no more than a thousand catties, while the four-wheeled Carriage generally carries 35,000 Jin and consumes almost the same amount of forage. Originally, melons and fruits are scarce. Grafting technology can allow melons and fruits to cover the mountains and plains. The increased output is unknown to the adults to explain where it came from. “Mo Dun squinted.

Yu Zhining blushed immediately. The speechless and Mohist Family Mohist Technology of Nene had an extremely significant increase in production. These naked data directly hit his face, making him incomprehensible. Refute.

Mo Dun boldly said: “What a fallacy is the wealth of the world, a bowl of water. Wealth is created by the hands of the people of the world and accumulated through generations. According to the current momentum, Great Tang The tax of Great Tang is increasing at a rate of 10% every year. You can calculate it. After ten years, Great Tangs tax will double on the existing basis, and after 20 years, it will double again, doubling every ten years. If it is a hundred years from now, what a huge figure will my annual taxation of Great Tang reach. “

“Huh! “

The people of Entire Court couldn’t help but agitate. There are many mathematics exquisite ministers who have even calculated that astronomical figure that they dare not imagine.

“If you say the existing Great Tang wealth It is a bowl of water. Over time, it will accumulate a bucket of water, a cylinder of water, or even a lake, until it accumulates into an endless sea. “Mo Dun has a loud voice.

So far, Great Tangs first wealth debate has officially ended. With the support of iron-like data, Yu Zhining has failed completely. Mo Duns theory of wealth creation made its debut at Great. Tang .
