Chapter 271 Business, there will only be one more way
"Ziyuan wants to drink?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "A small matter!"
"Come on, drink and meat, and... let Zhongkang and Ei come together."
"Master."
"Master."
Xu Chu and Dian Wei arrived soon.
"You two sit down and spend some wine and meat with me and Ziyuan."
After waved his hand casually, Cao Cao turned to Lin Chen and said, "I don't know that Ziyuan will arrive today. I'm not well prepared, so I'll forgive me."
"Mr. Cao is humble." Lin Chen shook his head quickly and said, "Chen is extremely satisfied with being able to accompany such a fierce general."
"Ha ha."
"Just be satisfied."
Cao Cao was in a good mood. After laughing, he saw that his family slave had already come up with wine and meat and said, "Come on, help Shangshu Lin pour wine."
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.
"Cao, Cao Gong..."
Lin Chen walked to Cao Cao drunk and lowered his voice, "Does Cao know that what else do Chen has to do besides asking you to go to Yanzhou?"
"I don't know about this, so I'd like to ask Ziyuan to say it clearly."
"Ha, it's actually simple... Chen thought Yanzhou was exhausted and should use commercial means to flourish. I wonder if Cao, would Cao Gong be willing to help?"
“Shared stock?”
"Mr. Cao knows me, too, hiccup...it's the shareholding system!"
"Ziyuan, I know that commercial means can be prosperous and can also allow His Majesty to have enough coins to reward his subordinates, but have you ever thought... Shang Xing harmed farmers?"
"Many people are worried about Cao Gong, and Chen naturally knows it."
"Then why are you…?"
"Cao Gong, Chen wants to ask you, if there is no business, will ordinary people have land to cultivate?"
"What does this mean?"
"The land has always been in the hands of aristocratic families like Cao Gong. It is precisely because of this that the country has not had so much tax revenue to support the stability of the regime... and eventually, it led to the destruction of the former Han Dynasty."
"Fuck, I don't understand."
"Chen wanted to say that if the country could obtain taxes from another aspect, such as business, would it be possible for the aristocratic families to gradually take their hands off the land?"
"Fuck, I still don't understand."
"Say that..."
Lin Chen took a deep breath and said with a smile: "If you have 1,000 acres of land in your home and the profit you get is only 1,000 yuan a year, would you try your best to loot more land?"
"Don't say no, this is human nature... Even if Cao Gong doesn't, Cao Gong's son and grandson will definitely do this."
"If business emerges, perhaps doing some business casually, Cao Gong can make a profit of more than a thousand yuan."
"At this time, will Cao Gong or Cao Gong's son and grandson still focus on a small thousand acres of land?"
"At this point, you may have two ideas, one is to expand your own land and get more stable returns, and the other is to expand your business model."
"But no matter which of these two, no matter which Gong Cao chooses, business behavior will inevitably expand."
“Once you choose to expand, you have to use more people to work on it, and so, more people will be separated from the land and gain a small portion of the benefits from your business expansion to sustain your own livelihood.”
"They can survive..."
Lin Chen said this, raised his head and sighed deeply: "But what if you just set your eyes on the land?"
“There will only be fewer and fewer people!”
Without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, Lin Chen asserted: "Even if you don't know how to use fewer and fewer people, you will do everything possible to reduce the income of the tenant."
"After such a cycle, the country will gradually become unable to operate."
"so……"
Lin Chen took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "So, Chen just found a way for you, and at the same time gave some people who should have died a way for them to live."
"Ziyuan's words are polite."
Cao Cao frowned, then nodded slowly and said, "But, if business emerges and everyone puts profit first, who else in the world will cultivate land?"
"After all, someone will go to cultivate the land."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "You always think that when business behavior occurs, many people will abandon the land, but you have never thought that the abandonment of the land is that you have already obtained a way out..."
"No!"
Cao Cao interrupted: "The meaning of Cao is that if there are not enough people to farm, how should the country obtain food?"
What he was worried about was the extent to which the country would go after there was not enough food.
“This is too simple.”
Lin Chen smiled indifferently and said, "Chen believes that as long as you add a piece of land to clear the land before all business activities, if you cannot do it, your business activities will be restricted or unprotected... Then, many people in the world who originally did not know how to pay grain will pay grain tax."
"Because, will the profits gained from commercial means more?" Cao Cao took a deep breath.
"No, no, no, far more than that..."
Lin Chen smiled slightly and lowered his voice and said, "The most important thing is that colleagues are enemies!"
"Simply put, when one person makes a profit, others will be more or less jealous..."
"If these jealous people find that the profit-making person has not abide by national laws, what would they do?"
"Is he going to remind him to abide by national laws..."
"Will you still use your own influence to make this matter known to everyone in the world and then get this person's business behavior?"
After Lin Chen made the choice, he smiled and said to Cao Cao: "If it were Cao Gong, what would you do?"
"Fuck, I won't do that, but..."
Cao Cao shook his head confidently, and sighed, "But, it's not certain that other people in the world."
After saying that, his face was complicated.
Originally, he was a person who believed in Shangjun's books, believed in the art of exhausting the people, and believed in suppressing business behavior.
But when Lin Chen unfolded this matter and added some more things, he suddenly realized that he was not unable to support business.
Because as long as commercial means really make money, if before this means, an iron law of paying food...
He believes that many people who are unwilling to pay the grain tax will be very happy to pay the grain tax.
Otherwise, these people's business methods will be hit.
And it is likely to be a blow from families of the same level.
"As long as you have this food, Chen believes that even if there are still many corruption measures in this country, many people who are willing to do things will inevitably make use of this limited food."
"For example, setting up a regular closing position or something."
"When we reach this point, the food prices in the world can be truly suppressed."
"At the same time, the people will have a way out."
"As for those who hoarded in famine years..."
Lin Chen said and smiled slowly at Cao Cao: "Chen thought that Cao Gong should be familiar with this matter."
"right."
Cao Cao raised his hand with a laugh, then suddenly retracted, and his eyes spit out a word: "Kill!"
Lin Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Now, Cao Gong still thinks that business methods should be suppressed?"
"Fuck, I can't wait to see the prosperous scenes of the Han Dynasty!"
Cao Cao picked up the wine bottle, took a big mouthful, and said, "There may be chaos in the world, but as long as the emperor is not stupid and the ministers of all departments are not crazy, the people in the world will at least have a bite of food."
"The most important thing is that many people who originally did not know how to pay grain will also pay full amount of food tax."
"Duke Cao, would you like to build such a world with Your Majesty and Chen?"
Lin Chen was very careful when speaking.
"I?"
"I can't."
Cao Cao sneered and said in a low voice: "The only thing I remember in my heart is the four words Ziyuan said at the beginning."
"Can you seal the country?"
