"Brother!"

Jia Yu came back with his schoolbag on his back.

"Ah."

After meeting with his younger siblings, Jia Yu entered the room.

"How is Dalang's studies today?"

Wei Wushuang felt more and more like the mentality of an old mother that her husband said.

"Fortunately."

Jia Yu said: "Today, the school is talking about the cloth war in Dongxi City. It is said that Aye carried the coffin into battle. Aniang, is that so?"

If the cloth is short, no one can plug the big hole, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a coffin.

Wei Wushuang asked: "You, Aye, are willing to do this for the sake of the people and the world."

Jia Yu said: "Many classmates in the school said that Aye was tragic. They all said that they would persuade their families not to buy those cheap cloths when they returned home. The grandson of Lu Guogong also said that he would go home and persuade his family not to participate."

Wei Wushuang sighed softly, "Everyone has his own ambitions, we are not the same way."

Cheng Zhijie's wife was born in the Qinghe Cui family.

Cui Shi is still the backbone in this battle.

Su Ho asked: "Is Da Lang worried?"

Jia Yu nodded.

Jia Pingan just arrived at the door.

Jia Yu said: "I'm worried about Aye, but today when those classmates mentioned Aye, they all admired him, and I suddenly felt proud."

When young, parents are the pride and support of their children.After old age, children are the pride and dependence of their parents, and this is a cycle.

After dinner, Jia Pingan went to the front yard.

"A lot of news has been collected today."

Di Renjie took out a piece of paper, and Wang Bo stood behind him.

"The matter of the silver coins shocked those aristocratic families. At first they wanted to cut the price by [-]% and sell most of the cloth at home, but you were in Dongshi, and you gradually lowered the price to [-]%. savings, but it’s a lose-lose situation.”

Di Renjie raised his head, "Someone said that they want you to die without a burial place, and you will be left with a bad name forever."

Jia Pingan smiled, "They still think that history is written by themselves, and they can refer to a stag as a horse, and black as white? Thinking too much."

Wang Bo asked, "Sir, why did they sell?"

"This question involves a lot." Jia Pingan also took the opportunity to teach a lesson.

"Wait, sir."

Zhao Yan is here.

This is worrying me, so come and see.

Jia Pingan felt warm in his heart, "Speaking of this, it involves the composition of those people's income. Whether it is a noble family, a powerful family, or a powerful man, most of their wealth comes from the fields, followed by business and so on."

"The tenant farmers and hermits cultivated the fields for them, and all the taxes that should have been paid to the court were handed over to them. These taxes included food and cloth."

"Cloth is used as currency... Zhao Yan told Zi'an about it."

It feels good for disciples to do their best when there is something to do.

This is teaching art on behalf of a teacher... Wang Bo is a little awkward.

"From the original intention of the court, it is natural to hope to use gold, silver and copper as currency, but in reality there is a shortage of gold and silver, and copper is also scarce. In the huge country of the Tang Dynasty, you have to ask for copper coins to buy and sell the grain you grow? Firewood, rice, oil and salt Need copper coins, right? Including spending in the court, you have to use copper coins... But the Tang Dynasty lacked copper, which caused the problem of insufficient coins in the market."

What Zhao Yan said was very simple, which made Di Renjie quite applaud.

"The combination of a country's population and productivity is the market, and how much money this market needs comes from this. Datang's copper coins are obviously not enough to satisfy this market, so cloth and other things are transformed into currencies."

Jia Pingan added: "That's money shortage."

Zhao Yan smiled and said: "Exactly. I said earlier that I found the Silver Mountain, but it can be said that no one believed it if I didn't see the real gold and silver. But when the silver coins came out, everyone believed it."

Wang Bo was puzzled, "Why?"

Zhao Yan said: "For the first time, [-] coins were minted. If you think about it, if the follow-up is gone, it will be a heavy blow to the reputation of Your Majesty and the court. Therefore, there is only one possibility for the court to mint coins, and that is that the Yinshan is real. , and produce a lot every year.”

boy!

Di Renjie praised unabashedly: "Ping An, you are a disciple that I am so envious of!"

Jia Pingan held his small teapot and took a sip comfortably, "Take it yourself!"

Zhao Yan smiled shyly, "Those people have counted in this situation, so it is natural that cloth and other things will depreciate in value."

Wang Bo suddenly thought of something, "There are more silver coins, and there is no shortage of money in the market, so the cloth and other things will naturally return to their original functions...to make clothes."

"Yes." Zhao Yan thinks this little junior is pretty good, "The price of cloth will drop in this way. You have to know that the amount of cloth in their hands, whether it is the court or the gentry, is frightening. If the price of cloth falls, the price of cloth in their hands will Wealth will shrink. What's more terrible is that the cloth cannot be used as money, and the huge amount of cloth stored in their home cannot be sold, which is what they fear."

"There are only so many people in the world, and only so many clothes are made every year. Who can they sell their cloth to?"

Zhao Yan said: "So they need to sell at a lower price as soon as possible. But Mr. sits in the East Market and keeps lowering the price, shattering their dream of selling... Either the ultra-low price will suffer a big loss, or they will be out."

Wang Bo was silent, and said later: "They are well-informed and know a lot of news that the common people don't know. In this way, they are deceiving the common people and want to pass on their losses to the common people. Sir, their wealth is huge, and cloth is just one of them. That’s all, even if it’s a loss, it’s not a bone injury, why pass it on to the people? Why are you so greedy?”

He was a little dazed, "Most of those aristocratic families have inherited family studies, and the foundation of family studies is mostly Confucianism. Aren't the people taught by Confucianism gentlemen? Why are they still so greedy?"

Zhao Yan shook his head slightly, thinking that the younger brother was too naive, "Zian, you are a little naive. The so-called edification of Confucianism is useful, but human nature is evil, and being a gentleman is just because the temptation is not enough. Ten money and a hundred dollars can naturally become a gentleman, but you can put it in front of you." When you have ten thousand and one hundred thousand renminbi, how many people can be a gentleman?"

"Human nature cannot be tested." Jia Pingan concluded.

Wang Bo was a little disappointed, "That is to say, Confucianism that keeps saying that you are a gentleman, but in fact it just gave yourself a mask?"

This summary is in place.

Zhao Yan nodded, "Xinxue believes that in order to maintain social morality, edification is essential, but more needs to be the example of parents and teachers. The last is the law, the law is more important than edification and example, with the law as a deterrent, What should be done and what should not be done are naturally clear at a glance. Use the law to guide morality, and use morality to feed back the law, so that the world will be ruled."

Wang Bo cupped his hands, "I would like to be taught."

After saluting, Wang Bo asked, "What about the village elders and country sages?"

Jia Pingan said: "The so-called village elders and village sages will eventually evolve into village tyrants and tyrants. Zi'an, you have to know that human nature is greedy, and village elders and village sages hold such power. Will they think about cashing in? It is to turn power into money, into one's own power."
