"What is a business atmosphere? It means that society has a clear division of labor, and the distribution of wealth follows capital. People have developed a habit, that is, whoever invests will benefit and of course bear risks..."
"This kind of thinking is very important. In the small-scale peasant economy, clans and villagers are very important. They subconsciously have a desire to share the wealth with the poor... You are my second uncle. If your family eats meat, I have to take a bite. You and I We are fellow countrymen, so if you make money, you have to give me a hand..."
"This kind of subconscious belief is very problematic. It will lead to what we call the phenomenon of worrying about inequality rather than scarcity. This kind of consciousness of small farmers is born not to see other people's wealth. The greater the gap between the rich and the poor, the more dissatisfied they will be. If there are too many scenes, it might be a conflict."
"But it won't happen here in Ryukyu, because hundreds of years of immigrant society and hundreds of years of maritime trade have long made the people adapt to employing and being employed. Of course, China's Jiangnan region and some coastal port cities have also adapted to it. Because of this kind of atmosphere, these places are where businessmen are willing to gather..."
"Silly boy, you see, I have invested in many industries in Tanggu, Shanghai, Jiangnan, Guangdong, etc., but in the inland areas, I rarely expand. It is not suitable for the impact of the big commodity economy. If you take too big a step, you will get hurt..."
Zai Chun smiled. He knew that once the master started joking, it meant that he had organized the language and this problem no longer became a problem.
"Feng Fu's question is actually difficult to say and simple to say... I have already given the answer before, and the answer was given with practical actions..."
Zai Chun blinked and suddenly stood up, "Special Zone, it turns out that Master insists on creating a special zone. The purpose is not just to make it easier to pass in the court. You have other plans. Have you seen this problem a long time ago?"
Xiao Letian smiled and nodded, "Yes, China is too big, and the people and customs in different places are different. How can one policy adapt to the entire country? If oranges grow in Huainan, they will become oranges, and if oranges grow in Huaibei, they will become oranges."
"In areas with developed commodity economies, first of all, people's consciousness is already familiar with the relationship between employment and being employed. If you look at the local people in Ryukyu, there are very few people who hate the rich. Those who work for the boss know that the boss makes a lot of money every day. They I won’t be envious...or I can say I am envious but there will be no jealousy or hatred..."
"Why, it's because he knows what business is all about. When a businessman gets big benefits, first of all, he has a large capital investment, and secondly, he can bear big risks. If the big boss makes a fortune, he will lose money if a transaction fails. When it’s hundreds of thousands or even millions, who sees it?”
"It is precisely because everyone understands that whoever invests benefits, and whoever bears the most risks gets the most benefits, the business rules are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, no matter how I promote mercantilism in Ryukyu, it will not cause fluctuations in the hearts of the people."
"As long as we can protect the environment, control the number of immigrants, and avoid causing conflicts in the eyes of social ideologies, as for some occasional low-probability incidents, we don't need to worry too much..."
"In such a big world, with such a large population, and such complex human hearts, it is normal for small accidents and conflicts to occur."
After being enlightened by Xiao Letian, Zai Chun became as enlightened as the sun rising in his heart. "I understand, the master wants to divide and rule this country. The areas suitable for business will strive to develop commerce, and the areas suitable for farming will be developed." Develop agriculture well..."
"My dear, silly boy, just do good farming in areas suitable for animal husbandry. In such a huge world, who stipulates that people must live in a certain way?"
Zai Chun suddenly asked, "What if there are places that are neither suitable for business nor agriculture and animal husbandry, such as mountainous areas... the mountains of Huangshan, Yunnan-Guizhou, and even the world you mentioned?" The roof of the Tibetan Plateau.”
"Haha... You're so smart, I'll reward you with a brain blow." Xiao Letian smiled and gave him a brain blow. "There are always more solutions than difficulties. You said there are no treasures in the mountains. Can't medicinal materials be sold for money? Aren't ores wealth? Since ancient times, mountainous areas have been full of beautiful scenery, so why not build villas and sell them to wealthy people?"
"You remember, as long as human beings continue to develop forward, even deserts can become golden mountains in the future."
Zai Chun didn't know how the desert turned into a golden mountain, but he didn't dare to continue asking. He knew that the master's regular bouts of madness were about to happen again, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Then Master, how do you explain the problem of the army? Mr. Feng said that the army should not have its own thoughts. It is even better for soldiers to be greedy for money, because only a greedy army can be controlled and will not rebel..."
"But from what I can see, the soldiers you trained in Ryukyu are completely different. You desperately hope that the soldiers will have ideas, and you also force them to be literate... Aren't you afraid that they will rebel?"
The topic between master and disciple is now taboo. This kind of topic will not be discussed unless the most intimate relationship. Xiao Letian thought for a while and touched Zai Chun's head. "Feng Fu's thinking is completely from the medieval era." Thoughts, we cannot say that he is wrong, but we can only say that he is out of time..."
"The reason why civilian officials are so desperate to suppress military generals is actually because there have been many wars in our history. Military generals, or warlord politics, were once a shadow of our nation..."
"As far back as the Three Kingdoms period, it can be said that the imperial power at that time existed in name only, and civil servants could only rely on the protection of warlords, which was a completely weak position... Later, there were the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and other periods when warlords controlled the country politically. It is undeniable that at that time The people are truly miserable."
"You exchange your children for food, your bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for a thousand miles... These common sayings are the lasting memory of that period of history."
"The more painful the memory, the more profound the lesson. Therefore, starting from the Song Dynasty, intellectuals began to consciously suppress the general class. Naturally, there was the idea of fighting for power and gain, but it is undeniable that the suffering of the civil war did scare many people. courage……"
"Gradually, the civil servants formed a unified thought, that is, military generals can only provide high-ranking officials with generous salaries and support, and they must not be allowed to participate in running the country. Especially these people cannot govern the people. The kind of Protectorate that was built in the past , Grand Governor, the phenomenon of conferring power on both sides of the military and political power must be put an end to..."
