"Doesn't business need to be controlled now? Many people have given up farming and turned to business with merchants. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later." Mi Zhu hesitated and said, although he was born as a businessman, Mi Zhu seemed to be very interested in restricting merchants.

"It's far from something wrong. Forget it, I seem to have forgotten to popularize some things for you. Your understanding of society is actually somewhat biased." Chen Xi sighed and said.

The main reason for emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce in ancient times was to put it bluntly the issue of off-production, and this birth really completely refers to farming.

"Oh, let's talk about it." Liu Bei didn't care about Cao Cao's unhappy expression at all. Anyway, he had been abused by Chen Xi many times. Besides, for Liu Bei himself, he just had to grasp the position of military commander.

"In fact, from ancient times to the present, the so-called emphasis on agriculture and commerce is to put it bluntly to suppress the number of people who have left the post." Chen Xi shrugged and said.

"Number of full-time people?" Cao Cao frowned, never hearing this word.

"Well, that's right, the number of people who don't have to give birth, for example, a few of us." Chen Xi spread his hands, and Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and he instantly understood a lot of things.

"Actually, this is a very helpless fact. First of all, the aristocratic families that account for two percent of the country, and the royal family are completely full-time people. These people rely on the support of the people." Chen Xi said with a expressionless face. Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked ugly. Chen Xi might not notice them in their lifetime. After saying this, they immediately understood.

"There are full-time soldiers again. I think you all understand this. If you want the soldiers to be truly elite, don't think about military garrisons. If you have something to do, just pull them out to practice. Don't let them do farm work, just let them train. This part is one percent. Although it may be more than that, it may reach a higher level when necessary." Chen Xi's expression was extremely calm.

"After that, we will consider some other things, such as officials, clerks, and these full-time and semi-financials. In fact, what we can see directly is about three to four." Chen Xi sighed and said, "This is why the most basic rent tax for Tianzhi is thirty-one tax."

At this moment, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's faces looked extremely ugly. Many things were passed down by the ancients. Why is this? To be honest, there are really nothing that can be explained clearly in this era, and now Chen Xi tells them directly why.

"Because the 30-tax tax is enough to basically ensure that the people who are out of business can survive, but a country not only wants people to live, but also has other things to do, so there are various taxes." Chen Xi sighed and said, "This is why there are military wars, and even if the country is very wary, they will perish."

"Simply put, it means that there are more people who are full-time, and they are crushed to death." Chen Xi said helplessly with his hands spreading, "and the businessman's words are naturally considered to be among the group of people who are full-time, which will naturally increase social pressure."

"Then you won't suppress the merchants, Zichuan, you have already made it clear. We must limit the number of full-time workers!" Cao Cao said immediately.

"However, this is impossible. Every profession actually has its own necessity. For example, for example, for example, soldiers, our significance lies in macro-adjustment, allowing society to move forward more steadily. Soldiers are the meaning of defending the country and maintaining social stability. Officials and clerks solve local affairs and maintaining local harmony and stability." Chen Xi shook his head slightly and said.

"The essence of business is actually circulation and regulation. Its profit-oriented approach is people, not business, so this profession is necessary." Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao extremely solemnly.

"Thirty people have reached the limit to raising one person. If one person has one more person, this structure will probably be not far from collapse. This is still above the normal level. Once a famine occurs, I now understand why the troubled times appear." Liu Bei said helplessly.

"No, in fact, it is not a fixed thirty people who raise one person, nor is it a fixed country that will perish even if it is a big war. There is an extended chain here." Chen Xi shook his head and said.

"Whether it is Hanmou's increase in grain output or the many long-term plans I have made, they are essentially improving this online. According to the current situation, in fact, if I remove my influence on the astronomical phenomena, this number should have been increased to about seven points." Chen Xi said with a little conceitedly. The increase in grain output of cookies increased the number by about five points.

This is also the reason why Mr. Yuan went to ancient times and relied on farm fertilizer, with a yield of 300 kilograms per mu. Most emperors could kneel down and call him father. In ancient times, as long as the food problem could be solved, the country could free up his hands to do a lot of things.

"Seven points?" Liu Bei and Cao Cao looked at each other.

"Let's put it this way, the three additional points can be recruited by the current population, without shaking the country's roots, so it doesn't matter if there are more than 70,000 or 80,000 merchants, and these 70,000 or 80,000 merchants are still very meaningful." Chen Xi estimated that Cao Cao and Liu Bei didn't know what the three points mean at all, so he explained it a little.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao were really a big boost this time. Although there was no concept of this before, when Chen Xi spoke this time, they immediately understood a lot of things.

"But I still have the number of movable full-time people at these three points, so I definitely can't use them all for recruitment. I have to rely on these three points to find ways to increase the proportion of the number of full-time people." Chen Xi shrugged and said.

This is also an important reason why Chen Xi’s moves smaller the more he moves. Because a little bit of stuff may cause problems in all aspects of grain production in the coming year, which will affect longer-term development.

"Hey, hey, Cao Gong, don't think about dividing this point. Although this point is the average point of the entire Han Dynasty, it is completely different from each place. Anyway, I bet you will definitely not be able to calculate it." Chen Xi knew what Cao Cao wanted to do when he saw Cao Cao's eyes glowing.

"Cough cough." Cao Cao coughed twice with a little embarrassment. He really wanted to slap people quickly, but Chen Xi exposed it.

"Actually, the captives of the Hu people can be about half a point." Chen Xi calculated briefly and said.

Although there are many prisoners of Zahu who are looking at them, this group of people also needs to eat. It is just because of some reasons that the bottom lines are different and the algorithms are not very different. It is estimated that it is only half a point. To be honest, this algorithm is already a very bottomless exploitation by Chen Xi. If it is a little more ruthless, it will probably affect the duration of use.

"In short, except for about one point that is intended to be used to expand the army, the others have fixed uses. I saved it for a long time before I saved it. You should know that some of the points in it will be automatically used by the people due to social changes. In fact, there are only so many in my hands." Chen Xi also said helplessly.

The fruits of social change cannot be picked just by Chen Xi. Although Chen Xi can promote social change faster by relying on this fruit, the problem is that while social change is changing, there are people from all walks of life who unconsciously pick the fruits, and this kind of thing cannot be avoided.

It should even be said that those people pick this fruit are the correct result of the spontaneous operation of internal driving forces during social change. Chen Xi’s approach is entirely based on foresight. Before this invisible hand can be operated, he will take over the other party’s responsibilities and move forward faster.

To be honest, if this was not the advantage of the downstream of history, eight out of ten people who played like this would have been kneeled down, and the remaining two might have succeeded. The internal situation would definitely leave a lot of hidden dangers because it did not conform to the normal procedures of social development. Its representative, haha...

This is the biggest weakness of leapfrog progress. Speaking of the feudal system, the proportion of full-time production is ten points. If the proportion of full-time production is accumulated enough, one hand can enter the industrial revolution, and then liberate the manpower, and the proportion of full-time production is directly increased to forty points!

Ten points and forty points, in the same country, the social prosperity can be seen from these two ratios. Due to the current situation, Chen Xi has been able to hold on to the current seven points. If he wants to jump to forty points, he is unfortunately still far from the accumulation now.

"You are also in power in government affairs?" Liu Bei looked disbelieving.

"It's not that it's beyond my reach, but in reality, it doesn't make much sense to put all those in my hands. After all, those who can take advantage of the situation are all smart people. There is no need to be so demanding. The success of these people is good for society." Chen Xi shook his head and said.

In fact, Chen Xi believes that it is enough to draw out full-time workers by then, and the remaining part is used by the people to create successful people in society, and to leap from ordinary people to wealthy families, which is actually very positive.

By the way, it can also prove that after Chen Xi came to power, the people did make better progress. The power of realistic role models is conducive to social stability.

"I'm just wondering, if you really want to do it, you can really be restrained?" Liu Bei looked like this.

"Oh, if you think so, I have no choice. Generally speaking, it is not impossible to do it without drawing. This is more harmful than good. We generally emphasize the maximization of interests." Chen Xi said with his hands spreading, "However, maximization of interests is not the best choice, so we can only take into account both."

"Well, Zichuan, let's do it. Usually, when you encounter the situation you mentioned, how do you deal with it?" Liu Bei asked with a little curious question.

"If you are anxious, if you are not anxious, just study it. If you are anxious, rely on your feelings. Generally speaking, although the second type is biased, it is not too outrageous. Of course, it is said that some people can choose the best answer based on intuition." Chen Xi curled his lips and said.
