Live as the emperor

Chapter 119

"Father, this is absolutely nonsense, this is framed." Chen Guang was startled, and quickly clarified.

What the hell... what does it mean to confuse the people?Whoever gave the book, you come out, I will definitely not beat you to death.

At this time, you must not do anything that makes Chen Ang unhappy, otherwise the position of the prince will not be kept, and all other subsequent plans will be hiccupped.

Chen Guang really wanted to know who wrote the book, and then find out this person and carry out a profound ideological and cultural education.

But it was obvious that Chen Ang had no intention of telling Chen Guang who made the paper, so Chen Guang naturally couldn't ask—and he couldn't ask anything.

"Oh, it's not true? It said that because the income of working in the Hope Project is much higher than that of farming, everyone is unwilling to farm and wants to come in to work. A lot of land has been abandoned." Chen Ang said.

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Chen Guang said that Nima was joking?Is this called demagoguery?I didn't recruit a job, and I didn't promise any benefits. Where did the deception come from?
As for the barren fields, can I be blamed?If the pig hits the tree, you hit the pig.People are unwilling to farm because the income of working is higher. Isn't this a reasonable thing?Who would spend 100 yuan a day instead of doing 50 yuan a day?

This is entirely their voluntary good or bad.

However, Chen Guang cannot say these things. After all, the current civil and military officials, as well as the emperor Chen Ang, are all waiting for him to give an explanation. He must come up with something convincing to prove that the abandonment of these fields will not affect overall situation.

"Father, it's like this. As I said just now, this is a process of gradual development. Everyone stops farming and goes to work, just to make more money and make their lives better." Chen Guang said Respond, thinking of excuses.

A minister said: "His Royal Highness, this statement is wrong. Although it is true that the people want to make money, if the land is not cultivated, where does the food we eat come from? Where does the army's military food come from? Soldiers cannot be allowed to Let's plant the land and harvest by ourselves? Therefore, the land is the foundation of the farmers. You can't just lose the foundation just for the sake of petty profits, and then the country will be in chaos. His Royal Highness also said just now that farmers The stability of my work is the stability of my work.”

Chen Guang: "..."

Nima, did you dig a hole and let yourself go in?
Routine, it must be your routine.

Mom, the city has deep routines, I want to go back to the countryside...

Chen Ang continued: "I also think that what you just said makes sense."

Paralysis, last hit!

"Father, this, I don't think the two should be confused. First of all, I was talking about agriculture, farmers and rural areas. More than [-]% of the country's population is farmers. There is no doubt that the country will be stable if farmers stabilize. "Chen Guang must admit this, and it is true. Throughout the dynasties, the downfall of a dynasty first started with the unsettled lives of the people.Legend has it that Xia Jie and Shang Zhou were licentious and immoral, causing the people to live in dire straits. Later, King Tang and Zhou of Shang Dynasty followed the time of the day, changed the dynasty, and the first thing they did after that was to appease the people and let the tillers have their fields.Calculating in the future, the annexation of land in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the land enclosure movement in the Qing Dynasty are the root causes.

But we can’t say that the land is fundamental, so we should all farm it, right?Are other industries still playing?What about the agreed 360 line?Do you want to burp?
"But." Chen Guang took a deep breath and talked eloquently.

"The land is the foundation, so everyone will farm the land. Who will do other things? If they all farm the land, who will do business? No one needs to make these tables, chairs and benches? No one makes wine? No one runs a restaurant? No one takes the exam? It must be even more messy."

"This..." Chen Guang's words confused everyone's questions. As I said just now, if you go to work without planting the land, your foundation will be unstable. Then everyone should go to plant the land. No one has done other things in the ground, so this will be a mess, right?
Chen Ang always felt that what Chen Guang said seemed a little inappropriate, but he couldn't say what was inappropriate for a while, and tried to speak a few times, but found that he couldn't come up with any strong point of view.

This prince seems to have his own ideas.

Chen Guang took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said: "360 lines, every line is the champion, not only the farmers who cultivate the land, but also the masters who make wine, as well as the masters who cook, the masters of tables, chairs and benches, all these things must be handled by someone. Only by doing this can everyone get what they need and do what they can. It’s not that everyone who wants to farm the land must farm the land and can’t do other things. I think that those who choose to work can temporarily hand over their land to nearby farmers. The owner of the land cultivates it, so that the land will not be barren, and the farmer can plant more land and harvest more food."

This is mass production. Although it is very likely that the land will become more and more concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, it is two different things. I will study it later.

This point of view is very novel, and many ministers seem to have an idea.

Chen Guang took a deep breath, continued his efforts, and pursued the victory.

"I invented a word called productivity. Every farmer is a productive force. Not only farmers, but also people from all walks of life are productive forces. We should not bind these productive forces to the land, but It is to liberate part of the productivity from the land while ensuring food production. For example, Zhang San can plant [-] acres, but he only has [-] acres of land, so he has [-] acres of productivity wasted. Then If it happens that his neighbor Li Si has ten acres of land, then can I give Zhang Sansan the ten acres of land as well, so that Li Si will stop farming and turn to other things, such as carpentry? The effort of farming is not in vain, but the carpenter has one more worker, isn't that bad?"

In fact, this is a very common practice in later generations. Each type of people focuses on doing one thing, and everyone has both division of labor and cooperation.But the ancient society was different. In addition to farming, a farmer had to exchange the harvest in the field for money, and made the clothes he wore by himself...Business is for exchanging what is needed, and this big family People do everything, and they don't need to buy anything at all, and they don't need to trade. How can business develop?
Chen Guang wants to separate these things now. If you farm the land, let someone else specialize in making clothes. When the time comes, you go to him to buy clothes to wear, and he comes to you to buy food. This is how business develops.
