Chapter 527 [Das Kapital Ten]
The weather in the early Warring States Period was a bit strange. The winter in the north may not be much colder than in the south. The autumn in the south may become wet and cold due to a continuous autumn rain. It may be because of the hurricanes on the sea landed on the southeast coast a few days ago. The temperature in Wuyuan City dropped sharply overnight. Even the little sparrow with the strongest vitality could not spread its wings. Dozens gathered in one place and chirped around Zhong Wuyan’s feet, waiting for her to sprinkle her handfuls of food.
Zhong Wuyan held the paper book in one hand and looked blankly, but with the other hand, he grabbed the snacks that originally belonged to Xiao Yingsi and stuffed them into his mouth. When he saw the wonderful things, he unconsciously clenched into fists. The good snacks were pinched into powder and seeped into the ground from the fingers. The little sparrows were happy, but Ying Si felt so distressed. These exquisite snacks were brought by Aunt Mei Zi from Qi. There are not many left now. They were originally going to flatter the Taifu, so how could they withstand such a waste?
Ying Si wanted to hide behind the Taifu, but Zhong Wuyan grabbed it without raising his head. The fat and black "jade hand" wrapped around like a spirit snake. He took away the last piece of peach apricot crisp in his sleeve, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Zhong Wuyan swallowed the last piece of snack and read the information in his hand. Then he put it back to Bai Dong, but he didn't rush to speak. Instead, he walked slowly by the water with his hands on his back, without saying a word for a long time.
Although the content recorded on Bai Dong’s information is complicated, fortunately there are written instructions and drawing instructions. With Zhong Wuyan’s talent, there is naturally no obstacle to reading it. Bai Dong is not wrong. Wu Yuan has been deteriorating in the past ten years, but it is not the economic rules mentioned by his mentor, but a sign of great economic decline and the market is about to collapse. But in the past ten days and half a month, Wu Yuan suddenly regained his vitality. Farmers, industry and commerce are booming. Just like bamboo shoots after the rain. This "spring rain" that induces Wu Yuan's vitality is actually the plan and her hands!
Who would have thought that the money used to rent the land was paid to the honest farmers and was soon paid to the creditors of Chu who were waiting in Wuyuan City. The farmers of Yue Kingdom got the rice seeds needed for autumn plowing, and no longer had to worry about not having green seedlings to go to the fields during autumn plowing. After the Chu people got the money, they went to major refining sites in Wuyuan to buy customized weapons, chariots, and even customized large number of crossbows. According to the newly established laws of Yue Kingdom, foreign merchants could purchase military supplies, but had to pay a lot of taxes. In this way, although the refinery had received a lot of income, the Yue Kingdom also received a large amount of taxes.
Wu Zhuan has used all the skills learned in Fengming Academy. Now, Yueguo is in trouble. Revitalizing the market and revitalizing the economy is the top priority. Naturally, it will not be "closed to the country" like the contemporary powers like Wei, which are not allowed to sell military supplies; the mineral resources consumed are not a problem. Wuyuan was originally the No. 1 refining city in southeast China. As long as you have money, merchants seeking high profits will naturally try their best to deliver all kinds of ores to your door. When you truly enter the era of navigation, Yueguo, which is backed by the Lianggang, will not be troubled by insufficient mineral resources.
Once Wuyuan, with various refineries as the core of the local economy, revitalized these refineries, the entire Wuyuan was revitalized; a large number of craftsmen received long-standing wages. They had to eat, dress, buy some beautiful jewelry for their wives and daughters, and even ran to Wuyuan's Nursing Pavilion to make some inappropriate consumption for children, so they turned to drive the transactions in the market. In just half a month, the economic chain that had been gradually broken was connected again by a magical power that could not be seen or touched and quickly began to operate. There were more cars and horses coming down from the city gate, and the prosperous scene of people surging in the city appeared in the market. Whether it was a worker, merchant, or farmer, everyone had a smile on their faces. This was simply a miracle!
"Not only those old tribes who rented land for us, but also the merchants, workers, farmers and farmers you asked me to meet...Everyone, each family is like a jumping and powerful line, and finally intertwined into a net. It is this magical net that brought vitality to Wuyuan, but although I saw the result, I didn't understand the truth. This...why is this?"
"This is the power of capital circulation. The money that does not participate in circulation is just copper, iron and silver that has no life. Chinese people are naturally cautious and conservative. They will never take out some money when they have them. It is best to bury them deeply underground so that they can make the money with plants and trees the happiest. And not only ordinary people, but even the most powerful merchants just seek profits and then hide the profits they have gained. Which one is willing to take out for them to circulate for this market?"
“Market, circulation?”
"Yes, this market does not refer to the clearance of various countries, but to the large market of the entire China. If this market becomes a pool of stagnant water or even collapses, what's the use of even more money in your hands? Without the market, the commodity will die. When the commodity dies, the money will become scrap copper and iron. It can neither fill the hunger nor use it to resist the wind and cold, nor even compare with earth, stone, grass, and trees. Earth, stone, grass and trees can also be used to build houses."
"So you don't need that land at all, but you rented the land for hundreds of thousands of dollars, so that the money could flow into the homes of thousands of farmers, and let them use it and circulate the money? So you are a self-disciplined Baizi, but asked me to meet with the head of the Nu Luguan Pavilion and lend the money to him for some reason, which made the head think that you were interested in someone in the museum. As a result, you sent dozens of beauties a day, but they didn't like you. They were sent back one by one, making him unable to guess your thoughts even if he thought about it. So..."
Zhong Wuyan was originally a smart person, but he had no experience and insight from later generations. When Bai Dong woke up, he immediately realized the whole story. He felt extremely shocked in his heart, and he stared at Bai Dong blankly, and could no longer say what happened next.
Now like Xiao Yingsi, she has fully understood the story behind this letter of information; Bai Dong told an interesting story behind a thick stack of materials: A scholar-in-law from a village in a certain country, and he found a small shop and bought a room for 100 yuan. The owner paid the meat owed to the butcher with 100 yuan. The butcher went to the pig farmer to pay the pig money; the pig farmer paid the wages owed to the craftsman, and the craftsman went to the shop owner to pay the owed house, so the money returned to the owner. At this time, scholar-in-law said that the room was not good, so he checked out and took the money away, but the debts of the whole town were paid off, and everyone got what they needed. The scholar-in-law brought benefits to the village, but he did not pay anything.
Xiao Yingsi was already impressed by his body. Now the Taifu is a god-like existence in his eyes; Zhong Wuyan is naturally extremely shocked, but after all, she is the only female disciple chosen by Guiguzi, and her talent is very accessible. Once Bai Dong pointed out the secret, she can learn from it. She tilted her head for a long time, and suddenly said, "This is indeed a very magical story. Are you comparing this scholar who was studying abroad and comparing Wu Yuan to that small town? No wonder you have to bet with me that you can solve Wu Yuan's affairs without spending a single money.
.But this story seems perfect and has no loopholes. If you think about it carefully, it is just that you carefully constructed it, and it is closely linked to each other and connected to produce miraculous effects. But Wu Yuan is so huge, and there are tens of millions of people involved in it. It is not like the fact that only a few three or five people in this small town participated in your story. If it were Wu Yuan, I wouldn’t believe you could control it so cleverly? Besides, in the story just now, wasn’t someone suffering a loss? For example, the 100 yuan given to him by the shop owner, the craftsman, was it a loss?”
Bai Dong looked at her deeply, applauded and laughed, "Well said, Miss Zhong is indeed extremely talented. But you only see that this story has imperfections, but you don't know that this story just states a basic truth, that is, the magical power of capital flow. Once capital begins to flow, the story brought about is not just as simple as the story is said? You must remember that capital has always been a thousand-mile horse. Wherever it runs, there must be a vast grassland..."
The son is teaching. Facing this extremely intelligent girl Zhong Wuyan and Xiao Yingsi, who was originally a student, Bai Dong didn't mind spending more time: "If we modify this story, will it become perfect? After the owner got the hundred dollars, he did not rush to return it to the butcher, but lent the money to the merchant in the town. When the merchant returned the money, he gave him 100% of the money. The farmer paid 100 dollars to the butcher, and used the extra ten dollars to cut the meat home.
The butcher not only recovered the debt, but also made three money because of selling meat. This money is like a hen that can lay eggs. After everyone's hand, everyone's debts were paid off, and everyone's hand became more money. When Juxuezi left, he did not lose at all. Is there anything more magical in the world? This is the real magical place for capital flow. Simply put, it can be called "borrowing chickens to lay eggs" and "making money with money"..."
"I understand, this is the same as raising chickens. The joint is the person who releases this chicken first! And you have a huge hand. What you lend is not a 'chicken', but a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand..."
Zhong Wuyan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot. Such an amazing thing was certainly from Bai Dong's plan, but it was done in her name. I am afraid that the reputation of Wuyan Zhongli will spread to Qi State and even the entire China in a few days. Such a brilliant woman with extraordinary talent wants to "marry" you Tian Yinqi, so why don't you marry? (To be continued...)
