Chapter 2206 Have you heard of Das Kapital?
In capitalism, there is the most terrifying monster called monopoly.
Once a monopoly is formed in any industry, it will be like a wound that will never heal and continue to bleed, and will not stop until the entire body is squeezed dry.
Therefore, even in a capital society, monopoly is absolutely not allowed.
The Qin Empire was originally a feudal system, and the private economy was in its infancy. There was still a long way to go before capital was germinated. This required the productivity of the entire society to keep up to the point where capitalism could be born. The Qin Empire is obviously not enough in all aspects to evolve and transform this social system.
When Du Jing expressed his preference for sweet potato purchase rights, Li Chen's first reaction was whether Du Jing was also a time traveler?
If it is true, then Li Chen will kill Du Jing here at all costs, and it will not work if anyone comes.
Under this huge sense of crisis, Li Chen didn't have time to consider other possibilities at all, and almost blurted out: "Have you read "Das Kapital"?"
Any indigenous people in this world will only be confused by these three words, but any person who travels through time will definitely react.
Li Chen stared at Du Jing's reaction tightly, not letting go of the slight change in his expression on his face.
But Li Chen only saw confusion.
Du Jing looked at Li Chen in surprise, stunned for a while, as if he was thinking about these three words, and then asked carefully: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? What is Capital Theory?"
Du Jing's reaction was impeccable and there was no abnormality.
Li Chen's expression relaxed and said lightly: "Nothing."
Du Jing does not seem to be a time traveler.
So how did he come up with the concept of priority purchasing rights?
If you don’t have some theoretical basis in modern economics, you will never realize how huge profits and benefits the priority procurement rights can bring. Even in Li Chen’s past life, an ordinary person would only be confused about this. If Du Jing was really a pure native, why did he think of a concept that spanned the society at that time for at least two thousand years?
One step faster than the world is called a genius, three steps faster than the world is called a madman.
Du Jing took one step and surpassed the history of two thousand years.
"This so-called priority purchasing right does not seem to have any practical benefits. If you ask me for a low-priced purchasing right, I can understand it. Can I give me a reasonable explanation?" Li Chen asked.
Du Jing smiled slightly and replied: "Your Highness, the sweet potato scheme is a major country plan, involving the foundation of the country, and it is also related to the root of the people. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. Those who are merchants, such as merchants, can make some money from the people, but they must not affect the people's food, nor can they compete for profit with the court. If the court manages and provides shelter, how can the merchants make a successful business? Therefore, merchants should cooperate with the court to seek welfare for the people. This is the way to maintain long-term stability in business. Therefore, Caomin did not think about low prices. As long as they can get the same market price, Caomin will be satisfied with the right to purchase priority."
After saying that, looking at Li Chen with a calm expression, Du Jing felt a little difficult to deal with.
