Chapter 420: The Mo Family's Plan
Yunyao thought that his cultivation was too low, and he could only rely on clues to reason about some specious future development directions. Perhaps he should really give up discussing serious things with Dan Ji, but instead do some happy things indulgently. As for serious things, just ask the master, let the master of the Earth Immortal's cultivation calculate, and there should be clues.
"If we have low cultivation, we should think more and not slack off." In the end, Yunyao defeated his own idea of being lazy and continued to discuss serious things.
"Even if that's the case, what are you going to do? You also said that our cultivation level is low, and it's not our turn to change the way of heaven. You're just worried. Since the Jingwei Alliance chose to retreat and hide, then they won't come to disrupt the mortal world next. Wouldn't it be good? You have been fighting wits and courage with the Jingwei Alliance for hundreds of years, and it's time to take a break." Danji sniffed the fragrance of Yunyao's beautiful hair and advised her to be more open and not tired of herself.
Yun Yao smiled bitterly, afraid that the wave would not be settled again and again, but it would be useless to worry about it. It is still necessary to develop the "Dacheng Smart Project" step by step for the camp.
In the Song Dynasty, the infrastructure project formulated by the Giant Zi is in full swing.
Take up points, build roads, radiate, occupy more points, build more roads, radiate wider areas...
The Western Zhou Dynasty was the idea of the division of feudal areas. The princes of all countries occupied the main transportation roads, and then built roads, built huts, and expanded. Wherever the roads were built, the Zhou people would go. After hundreds of years of expansion, they had the current territory, but over time, many roads became corrupt and needed to be rebuilt.
When Guan Zhong came to power, he vigorously built roads, and repaired all the roads in Qi State, which attracted merchants from all over the world.
Now many countries are addicted to internal struggle and are unwilling to spend time building roads, so many roads cannot catch trains and some bridges have collapsed.
The mortals’ bridge repair is not like Yun Yao said that they can directly find a few demon slaves to build the bridge in just a few seconds. The mortals’ bridge repair depends on the season. When the water level drops in the dry season, it will be a good time to build the bridge. When the dry season will come, this is the job of astronomical officials.
By looking at the positions of stars in the sky, you can probably infer the arrival of the dry season, and you can prepare materials in advance. As long as the water level is lowered, you can build bridges and build bridges in a breeze.
Mozhe also formulated infrastructure plans with the astronomical officials of the Song State. At the same time, this time, the giant proposed the idea of spending money to hire workers for the first time, and allocating funds from taxes as wages.
It was never before. In the past, it was free labor. Taxes were only responsible for purchasing materials, and even food was required to bring their own labor. Now, they actually paid for labor wages, which triggered a large discussion in the Song Dynasty.
Of course, the giant knew what he was doing. He followed Guan Zhong's idea of using work for relief: "Guan Zi said that if a disaster occurs, the country will build a palace and choose people with only one wall to work. The country will give them food to help them survive the disaster year."
The doctors of the State of Song naturally knew this, so they were about to say: "It's not a disaster year now. This year everyone has surplus grain at home, so why do you still have to pay them wages? Shouldn't labor work bring your own food?" "Do you know how much food and expenses it takes to build roads and bridges? How can the treasury support it?"
"We don't give food, we only give money." The giant said: "Money is given as wages to corvee. After they go back, they can buy goods, raise chickens and ducks, which can stimulate the development of industry, commerce and animal husbandry. The way to improve all industries is to enrich the country and strengthen the people. This is also the key to Guanzi's ability to help Qi dominate the country, and it is the operation of the economy."
When you have money, you can spend money or invest and develop side businesses.
Is that right? Everyone has questions. A doctor asked: "The State of Song and Qi are different. Qi is large in land, and they rely on the sea, have rich fishing and hunting, and are also produced in sea salt. Our State of Song has a small territory and has no benefits for fishing and hunting. How can we attract merchants from all over the world to come to our State of Song? To put it bluntly, what can we sell to others and what should we buy?" "Many things in our country need to be purchased from other countries, but other countries rarely need our goods. If it goes on for a long time, wouldn't our money go abroad? We gave the money to the people, and the people went to buy foreign goods. In the end, the country became richer and poorer abroad, and the country became more and more poor."
The giant was very happy to see someone who could have such a vision, because the other party was completely wrong, which was also a problem that everyone needed to solve. He looked at the other party with appreciation and said, "What we said is not false, so we must revitalize the industry and commerce of the Song State and let other countries purchase the technology of our Song State."
"For example, what?" Everyone looked at the giant and thought that the Song State could have any technology to sell to other countries?
Nowadays, all countries have small peasant economies. In addition to the necessary salt and iron, grain and cloth are basically produced and sold by themselves. Small countries are miserable and need to exchange for other people's salt and iron for the grain they have worked hard to grow and woven cloth.
It was a good time to produce and sell it yourself, but if you took out some of the money to exchange for production tools, your life would naturally be tight.
But if there is a technology that can replace grain and cloth to exchange salt and iron, everyone is happy, but I don’t know if the Mohist school has this technology.
"We can form a professional infrastructure team, and go abroad to build bridges and roads, build tombs and temples. We must let all countries know that our Song Dynasty has the best infrastructure in the world, and let all countries spend money to invite us to their national infrastructure." The giant proposed a plan, which is to sell infrastructure technology and labor, make money for the country, and prevent imbalance in income and expenditure. Infrastructure is a concept proposed by Yun Yao, which has been widely accepted by the Mexicans and has been introduced to the court.
Everyone said this is OK? This is the first time I heard that I can still help foreign infrastructure make money.
There was a lot of discussion, because it was the first time I heard about this kind of thing that even Song Jun was hesitating.
The giant was very calm. He had long expected that everyone would react. He was not in a hurry and could slowly convince everyone until everyone accepted it.
"In ancient times, Hengshan Kingdom did not produce bronze but produced weapons in the world. It should be because Hengshan had the best sword-casting masters and mastered the best sword-casting technology. Now Song State has Mo, and the Mo family has the best technology. You can completely believe that our technology can be sold at a good price. As long as we use Song State as a model to build excellent infrastructure projects, other countries will definitely be willing to spend money to invite us, and Song State can get the currency back to China." The giant said firmly.
"That is to say, the pay of wages in the State of Song is just the beginning, so that other countries can also hire Song people?" "Is this meant to buy Song people in other countries?" At this time, someone asked a sharp question: "You should know the hard work of infrastructure projects, and many people will die. Do you have the heart to let them die in a foreign land for money? What's your intention? Could it be that Jin, the North, spent money to let us build the Great Wall, and we also want to go? Isn't this treating Song people as commodities?"
The infrastructure of the Spring and Autumn Period was not only hard but also long, but also endlessly built the Great Wall. I was not lucky enough to spend my whole life on it.
When everyone heard this, they looked at the giant, obviously thinking that the giant was too cruel. Even if the Song State was young, it had dignity and could not be sold to the people of Song as slaves.
"The Mohist family currently does not have the technology to build the Great Wall, so they will not take on the work of building the Great Wall." The giant said coldly, and the other party changed his concept: "I said that infrastructure with technology is the goal of our Mohist. We must show the ability to complete the work within a certain time and budget in order to make everyone believe us and hire us. The Mohist family is not selling slaves, but selling technology, not kidding human lives, so they only accept projects that can be completed."
