Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 166 Chapter 163, Is the pipe weaker than Keynes?
Ju Shou asked in doubt: "What is the necessary connection between guiding merchants and restraining tyrants?"

Chen Yuandao: "Grand and Gong, you are wrong. I am not restraining the powerful, I am only restraining the powerful from annexing land. If they can turn their attention to business, I will not restrain them, but support them."

That's what Chen Yuan said. Even if the powerful landlords turn their attention to business, Chen Yuan will restrict them.

Because any unrestricted power will eventually lead to disaster.

Chen Yuan didn't want the Han Empire to turn into a profit-seeking empire, an empire without morals.

He just wanted the powerful landlords not to be too confined to the land, but to look beyond the big man. Business was just one of the forces driving expansion.

Ju Shou understood that Chen Yuan had inherited Guan Zi's ideas.

Through the power of light and heavy, the industry of mountains and seas is destroyed, so that "currency accumulates wealth, enriches the country and strengthens the army".

In fact, Guanzi's economic thinking is very similar to the macroeconomic regulation and control of later generations, which is the so-called Keynesianism.

There are four points. The first point has already been said, that is, the people of the country are divided into four types, namely, scholars, civilians, businessmen, and businessmen.

The second point is to include tax in price.Take it from the invisible, so that people will not be angry.The use of this "fraud" not only solves the survival problem of the country, but also makes the people pay taxes naturally.It controls the pillar industries related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and controls the supply and price of commodities through state-owned and private means, so that the people can pay taxes invisibly.Specifically at that time, it was salt and iron.

The third point is to stop wars with business.It is Guan Zhong's core thought, as the saying goes, "Criminal law is not enough to fear his will, and killing is not enough to convince him."Guan Zhong advocated peaceful hegemony and used trade wars to achieve the effect of defeating others without fighting. The sheep-eating policy planned by Chen Yuan for the grassland is the embodiment of this idea.

The fourth point is to encourage consumption and expand domestic demand.By promoting "extravagance", the circulation of goods is promoted and the demand for production is expanded. "If the caves of cinnabar are not blocked, merchants will not be able to stay. The rich are exhausted, and the poor are for it."At the same time, Guan Zhong advocated full employment and opposed passive relief. He increased the government's fixed assets by building pavilions and pavilions to stimulate economic recovery and promote people's employment.

In short, there is not much difference between Guan Zhong's economic thinking and the national macroeconomic regulation and control of later generations.

Although Chen Yuan has not studied it systematically, as a college student who has received nine years of compulsory education, he unconsciously thinks that he will use some of the things he has learned.

As for macroeconomic regulation and control, high school political science textbooks have it.

Let's talk about it, like the content of ideological and political content in junior high school, what is this in ancient times?
Dragon Slayer.

These things are the art of checking and balancing the emperor.

To put it bluntly, the anthology of Yingzhao the Great is the real dragon-slaying technique, and those who can understand this book will be able to rise to the top and rule the world like nothing.

Knowing this, Ju Shou no longer contradicts Chen Yuan.

Who is Guan Zhong, Kong Sheng's evaluation of him is: "Wei Guan Zhong, I was sent to the left."

The saints and elders all admired Guan Zhong so much, so what reason did they have to criticize Chen Yuan who took the road of Guan Zi?

In fact, the most important thing is not this point. The most important thing is that Chen Yuan said that he is not restraining the powerful, but only restraining the powerful from annexing the land.

That's enough.

What Jushou and Tian Feng were afraid of was that Chen Yuan would overthrow Hao Qiang no matter what, and that would really be his own death.

Of course, you can't say that on the bright side.

"That being the case, I would like to go to Jingzhou."

Of course, Tian Feng would not refuse at this time, and nodded in agreement.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It was finally done, and two resourceful people with an IQ of 90+ joined in.

Up to now, Liu Bei's military team has initially taken shape.

Gu Yong, Xi Zhicai, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Zhong Yao, Xu Shu.

In the future there will be Fa Zheng, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, Liu Ye, Lu Xun and others.

Just ask who else is in this lineup! ! !

I'll look at the situation later, and if it's appropriate, I'll fool Jia Xu's old scumbag over.

This army division lineup is absolutely perfect.

Not only did Boss Cao's wool be squeezed out, but Sun Ce and Sun Quan's wool was also squeezed out.

Well, even more cruelly squeezed the leader Yuan's wool.

But there is one thing to say, Chen Yuan got these people in Jingzhou, many of them did not end well.

Jushou and Tian Feng didn't talk about him, but Liu Ye and Lu Xun.

One is that because of avoiding suspicion, talents cannot be fully displayed.

One is that in his later years, because of being involved in the vortex of the prince's struggle for the throne, he was jealous of the monarch and died in anger.

I am redeeming you.

Chen Yuan thought so.

After Jushou and Tian Feng were settled, Chen Yuan made an appointment with the two and returned to Yan's mansion.

While Chen Yuan was persuading Jushou and Tian Feng, Zhao Yun was recruiting Zhang He.

Although Zhao Yun is following the way of fighting, his IQ is not low. If it is quantified, it is also 70+.

It can be said to be both wise and brave.

Therefore, when Zhao Yun went to visit Zhang Yun, he did not use his name as a lieutenant of the Jingzhou Military Academy, but came as a challenger after inquiring about Zhang Yun.

The Hejian Zhang family where Zhang He was sitting was not a big and powerful man, but a small and powerful landlord in front of him, and he couldn't promote Zhang He's reputation with great fanfare.

Today, Zhang Xi's official position is still sealed because of his meritorious service in suppressing the Yellow Turban, but it is still not taken seriously.

For this reason, in order to publicize his reputation, Zhang Yun had to use some other methods.

For example, make friends with rangers, let them widely publicize their bravery, and welcome warriors from all over the world to come and challenge.

The winner will give a hundred taels of gold, and the loser will give away travel expenses.

After such an operation, Zhang Xi's reputation for bravery really began to spread in Jizhou.

Therefore, when he heard that someone came to challenge him again, Zhang Xi was not only not annoyed, but very happy.

This is to give yourself a reputation again.

Some people may think that Zhang Yun, as the future five sons of good generals, does not need to use this method to promote himself.

The five sons of good generals are all later things. Now Zhang Xi is just a small officer, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been assessed again.

In this day and age, reputation is very important.

Zhang Xi is an ambitious person, so he can't bear to be a small officer with his own abilities. He also wants to be a marquis and a general, with tens of thousands of armors, and a wolf as a servant.

Which ambitious general doesn't want to be Wei Qing or Huo Qubing.

Zhang He naturally thought too.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun stepped out of the gate of the mansion, and when he looked up, he saw a young general in white robe standing in front of the gate.
