Xiao Niangpi also asked Yang Fan why the dynasties in Chinese history could not get out of the vicious cycle of chaos and rule. What is the root cause of the three-hundred-year curse?
Yang Fan also told her the economic principles behind this.
In ancient times, clans, nobles, farmers, craftsmen, and mining workers who produced food. There is a product distribution ratio between them. The midpoint of this ratio moves from the front to the back from the beginning of the dynasty to the end of the dynasty. That is, workers and producers are getting less and less. In the end, it's all a big collapse.
Knock everything down and start over again.
Xiao Niangpi asked, isn't there a complete solution?
Yang Fan didn't answer. In fact, there was really no good solution.
Human nature is greedy. Under all systems and religions, no matter how good the regulations are, they must ultimately be implemented by people. Talent is the soul of everything.
Han Feizi made it very clear more than two thousand years ago. The method alone is not enough to do it on your own. Laws are made by humans and are enforced by humans. If people have problems, the law cannot automatically function normally.
We are used to using system design to solve problems. However, in the end, it will be discovered that talent is the biggest problem. The biggest problem is human nature. Unless human nature changes, many problems will not be completely solved. Because all these things are caused by human nature. 33
If it is a common problem of human nature, it cannot be solved by changing a group of people.
Our ancestors saw this clearly three thousand years ago.
Zhou Gong's system of rituals is to restrain human nature. Human nature must not be left unchecked. The imperial court must educate all people. Public order and good customs cannot be violated.
Lao Tzu talks about inaction and Tao follows nature, which is to fundamentally eliminate the shortcomings of human nature.
Confucianism, on the other hand, adopts more practical moral teachings that are specific enough that everyone can understand them.
Confucius believed that people can be educated. The purpose of educating people is to solve the negative harm caused by human nature to society.
The core point is that you have to be a "benevolent" person. The path to achieve this is the "way of loyalty and forgiveness."
However, the ancient interest groups refused to give up a little bit of their interests to let the people live. This was true from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Republic of China.
The four major families behind Chang Kaishen, at the end of his reign, not only failed to understand his difficulties, but also worked together to tide over the difficulties. Instead, they intensified their crazy plundering. These behaviors are puzzling. If this company collapses, where will they make money in the future?
If you don’t understand, it’s because you don’t know their underlying logic. The world of adults only makes choices but does not make changes. They are just doing venture capital, and if you do not manage well, they are considering divestment and liquidation.
Investors and management teams are never of the same mind.
Because they know that if they don’t work hard to collect money with a rake, they will have no chance. This old ship is going to sink.
Modern Western countries are not much better. It is impossible for their interest groups to take less. As for what the lower class will do if they take more and more.
They simply issued treasury bonds. Interest groups cannot have less money anyway, so they should issue national bonds and borrow money to appease the lower classes and provide social welfare.
But this method cannot continue forever, and now they are beginning to lose their ability.
If these debts cannot be passed on to other countries, or the interest cannot be paid anymore. Sooner or later they will collapse. Just like ancient China. It's all about changing the soup without changing the medicine. It's been done over and over again, but it's essentially still the same thing. It's all leftover from our ancestors' tricks.
Fortunately, today we have embarked on a new path. All bonds issued are for infrastructure investment. It not only stimulates the economy and expands employment opportunities, but also stabilizes the cornerstone of national development. These purchased assets, in turn, increase the gold content of the soft currency and make the currency strong.
For example, building highways, bridges, high-speed railways, hydropower stations, airports, canals and water conservancy facilities. These investments generate cash flow income. This is an asset with income.
Our debts correspond to assets, and Western debts correspond to consumption.
We make money from money, but the money they borrow is gone after consumption. All that's left is the accumulation of debt. Our methods are infinitely superior to theirs.
At this point in the late Ming Dynasty, what Yang Fan could do was to use the technological revolution to generate dividends and expand total social output to alleviate social conflicts.
By cultivating industries that did not exist before, he would reshuffle the social structure of wealth. As for what to do after three hundred years, when the technological dividends are exhausted and the old disease starts to relapse again, he has no choice but to focus on the present.
Isn’t it said that making money in life depends on Kangbo? His ability to turn the crest of a wave into a trough is already remarkable. As for eliminating Kang Bo, there was nothing he could do.
This is the case with many issues. When you don't think things through, you will spend the whole day on the Internet like a troll, scolding you. In fact, nothing can be changed. But if you really understand it, you won't have many negative emotions about many phenomena.
Since the development of human society has its own laws, we can't change anything. Then just do what you should do. People's abilities may be great or small. As long as you can do your best, don't waste rice, and contribute to society in life.
There are many things. If you don't understand something, you can't talk nonsense. When you really understand it, you won't want to talk about it, let alone scold it.
Trying to change human nature is what saints do. You and I are both mortal. We are so insignificant, so we might as well do something practical and down-to-earth, and don’t waste our lives in vain.
Modern, the factory area in the neighboring province was very lively today, and many people came from the Academy of Sciences. These old experts are usually difficult to find.
Part of the 100,000 acres of land transferred to the factory last year was set aside as experimental fields, where many new crops were planted. Today, they came to see two new types of sorghum provided by the Academy of Sciences.
The yields of these two types of sorghum are appalling, with one type yielding five tons per mu. One type has higher sweetness but lower yield per mu, only three tons. Of course this is the weight of the entire plant, not the seed yield. Because this kind of sorghum is used as silage feed.
Sun Xing raised her little face and looked at the 4.5-meter-high sorghum plant in a daze.
Lin Miao waved his hand in front of her and said, "Xingzi, wake up quickly, the hair is on the lapel of your clothes."
"How dare you, you are so disgusting." Sun Xing finally woke up from flying.
These sorghums are stunning. The sorghum that yields three tons per mu is also three meters high.
The main reason why Yang Fan did this was because he needed a large amount of highly nutritious horse feed. He now maintains fifty thousand cavalry, all of which are Arabian, Indian, and Don horses. These tall horses also eat amazing amounts of food.
These special sorghums are all projects under research by the Academy of Sciences and have not yet been introduced to the market. Originally, people didn't want to deal with a private enterprise.
However, when Sun Xing saw the photos of a large number of undiscovered or extinct agricultural products in the experimental fields, even the most important agricultural experts were alarmed.
This is a very important species resource for plant hybridization. Their eyes were straightened immediately.
Some people died, but not completely...
