Asked the question, the person in charge of the Mozhe who had previously been active in Yunzhong area said first with a singular accent: "I have an idea, but whether it can be successful is still needed to study it above."

He was originally from Qi, and he also had a surname. Guo clan. He was the descendant of the Gao tribes who were responsible for supervising or "assisting" the state of Qi.

Both clans are surnamed Jiang, but after they are separated, they still need to be enthroned by the Emperor of Zhou. Even if they are vassals of Jiang Qi, according to feudal law, my vassals of my vassals are not my vassals, but the special thing about the two clans of the country is that they are vassals of Jiang Qi, and they are also considered vassals of the Emperor of Zhou. Like Jiang Qi, the two clans of the country have alternated powers.

After all, Jiang Bu’s surname is Ji, that’s an outsider.

So when Guan Zhong reformed, there were ten of the fifteen barons responsible for sending troops, including the two high tribes of the country, which was somewhat similar to the six nobles of Jin State. When they sent troops, they were also two of the three armies and two generals.

However, later, the political turmoil of Qi State was in turmoil, and the nobles from all sides united and united, the Tian family won, and the two tribes of the country had already withered.

Now the name of the Chinese Immortal in Yunzhong is a single character named Yigang. After becoming an adult, he took a character named Ce. The ancestors can be traced back to the father of the Dazai Kingdom of Qi who participated in the Battle of Chengpu.

Guogang is a branch of the Guo family. In fact, he no longer has the aristocratic status as a scholar. He joined the Mo family in Qi in his early years. Later, because of his outstanding talents, he was sent to Yunzhong.

Before the Mozhe who was sent to come, Gao Liu reminded him to carefully ask the opinions of those Mozhe locally. Some things are feasible in Si, but they may not be applicable in remote areas. Some truths can be transformed into practice in Si, but they may require certain modifications in the cloud.

Guogang has a keen mindset and thinks it is an excellent opportunity to show off his talents, but he still has some doubts in his heart.

So he said that his opinion is just an idea, and whether it is feasible still needs to be studied above.

The special ink master said, "If you say yes, everyone can give their opinions."

Guogang nodded and said, "Actually, if we think about the problem in the cloud, we can think so."

"We have money and many handicraft products, but the clouds are remote and transported difficult. So many people are coming in one go, and there may be problems with the food price."

"At the same time, our purpose in the cloud is not to make money, but to have enough military force to resist the robbery of the Hu people and to restrain the Zhao family."

"This problem can be solved by using some examples of the wisdom in "Extravagance" and "Light and Heavy" of the Guanzi School of Qi State."

This involves academic disputes, and there have been many debates between the Mohist school and the Guanzi School. It is precisely this reason that Guogang was hesitant before.

The commissioner read a lot of books himself, and he was familiar with many schools of thought. He also knew some of the disputes between the Mohist school and the Guanzi School. He heard him say this and nodded, "You said that the Tao is different, and they do not plan for each other. The Tao is the same, and the art can be used."

Guogang said with a huff: "The difference between our Mohist school and the Guanzi School seems to be in the dispute between "Extravagance" and "Sales and Uses", but in fact, the difference lies in whether the world needs a class that does not work and has a fief and wealth to buy handicraft goods in order to make the world stable."

He said nothing wrong, and he indeed grasped the essence of the debate between the Mohist school and the Guanzi School over the years.

In the five years of being in the cloud, there was really not much entertainment activity, and Guogang has been reading books all the time.

He was born in Qi State and was familiar with some people from the Guanzi School. He was deeply influenced by the Guanzi School when he was young.

There are many people in the Mohist family who came from other families and then rebeled to the Mohist family, including the previous giant son, Qin Huali, who were all traitors of Confucianism. The Mohist family was very tolerant of scholars from other families and did not blame much.

Although he is not eclectic, Guogang has been thinking about the theory of economy for the past five years, combining the debate between the Mohist school and the Guanzi School, and his understanding of some economic laws can be considered a "blessing in disguise". If it weren't for a remote place like Yunzhong, he might not have so much energy to think about these things.

After expressing his attitude that he did not agree with the Guanzi School, he said: "The current situation is that we have money, but what we need is food, or money here is not as good as in the Qiluwei area of ​​the Central Plains."

"So, what is money? This issue needs to be clarified first."

The commissioner put down his pen and thought for a little while, saying: "The Guanzi School said that gold, jade, copper coins are the currency of the people. Our Mohist school said that gold, jade, copper coins are generally equivalents. In fact, the same meaning is similar. There is not much difference between currency and equivalents."

Guogang nodded and said, "It's just that I have been thinking about it for the past five years, but I feel that there is something different about it."

"For example, if the Si Shang saves money, because it is not used elsewhere, the profits you earn can be invested again and expand production. For example, I have accumulated enough money in Si Shang, which can be used to invest in the South China Sea, Huaibei, Song and other places. Either purchase land or invest in industry and commerce, the money will increase value due to labor and continue to make profits."

"But it is useless in the cloud. Since we believe that labor is the basis for gaining wealth and increasing wealth, it is somewhat unworkable to save and reinvest in the cloud."

"We should try our best to avoid the situation of mercenary farming in the cloud. Some people who are already rich now can only spend money to buy handicraft products, but they cannot use them to increase their value."

"If you buy land, there are reclaimed wastelands everywhere in the clouds. If there is no manpower, the wasteland will always be wasteland. The prerequisite for them to buy land must be that they have enough manpower. In fact, what they buy is the labor of others."

The commissioner thought about it and Guogang said slowly: "Money is very useful in Si Shang and Song, and Qi, because money itself has two meanings."

"One can be converted into funds that can be reinvested, and the other can be converted into money to buy goods."

"Money is loved because it has these two meanings."

"Now in the cloud, we have money, but it is difficult to exchange money for what we want, which is actually easy to understand."

This is not the first time that the commissioner has heard such a similar statement. He thought about it and asked, "What do you say?"

Guogang said: "We are in the cloud, for the sake of the soldiers and the people serving, we must avoid the situation of ploughing this year. Then the money will be difficult to turn into re-entered production funds. The land is everywhere, and we support those who are about to move. Who is willing to plough the farm tools and cattle and horses that we support loans?"

"Similarly, Yunzhong is too far from the Central Plains, and it is difficult for all kinds of goods to be transported here, making it difficult for money to become the money to buy goods."

"Since the former is our established tone and we cannot turn money into capital for reproduction in the cloud, if we want to spend money, we can only use some means in "Extravagance" and "Light and Heavy" to make money buy enough goods so that the people who came first in the cloud are willing to exchange food for money, or for handicrafts they can get, so that we can spend money."

"The key to the problem is that we have money but don't have food, so if we look at it, how can we spend our money?"

"If you want to solve it, you have to figure out what money is. This returns to the initial problem. Money is the currency of the people, money is equivalent, but it is not something that can be directly prayed to God to turn into food and armor."

"This is the true meaning of the Guanzi School's so-called 'If the three coins are held, it will not be replenished for warmth, and if it is eaten, it will not be replenished for fullness. The previous kings guarded their wealth and property, controlled civil affairs, and pacified the world'."

After enlightenment, there were actually many people in the Si Shang Mohist school who knew some money.

If there is no basic understanding, I am afraid that the entire Si Shang economy will be in chaos, because Si Shang itself has paper money.

But among the people seen by the Special Commissioner, there are not many who can reach this level of understanding of money and currency.

If we look at the perspective of the later generations, Guogang's ideas are still somewhat problematic, but at this time, it is not the small group of people in the Mohist school, and they can truly understand the Mohist school's "Sales and Uses". "The Richness of the Kingdom" also integrates the Guanzi School's "Light and Heavy" and "Extravagance" and summarizes these principles. It is indeed an alien in Zhao.

Immersed in the Mohist debate, the special commissioner in logic immediately figured out some different tastes, and suddenly felt the fragrance full of his mouth, immersing himself indulging in himself.

After staying for a while, he asked, "Tell me, how should I spend my money?"

Guogang said: "Since we have allocated a sum of money to be invested in the cloud, then the money is not necessarily spent in the cloud. Because our purpose is not to spend money in the cloud, but to exchange money for food and the active arable land in the cloud next year."

"The essence of the technique of "Light and Heavy" lies in the direction of government leading consumption, using taxes and lending to regulate production, and at the same time, it can also borrow first to encourage consumption, and rely on the dominant consumption direction to promote the production of something."

"The essence of the art of "Extravagance" lies in the fact that consumption feedback promotes production and encourages consumption to expand the industry. If you have money, you will naturally invest money and invest in a certain industry."

"This is a method that cannot be used without use. Please give an example."

Guogang gave an example based on the particularity of the cloud. He believed that if money is transported directly, it will lead to inflated local prices. At that time, people will raise prices and are unwilling to sell them in the later stages. Because there are so many commodities in the cloud, and money cannot be bought and cannot hire people, the prices of all kinds of goods in the city will soar.

However, if you buy a large amount of goods in Handan, Gaoliu and other places and transport them to the clouds, you have to consider what goods to buy.
