Chapter 313 Origin of Poverty
"Uh—" This logic... at first glance, it seems to be correct.Wang Er opened his mouth, but he didn't think of a suitable rebuttal. After all: there are no nomadic peoples in the north in this world, even out of the vast land of China, they are the people of Baiyue like Miao people and white people in the mountains of hundreds of thousands of miles away. , there are 36 alien races—these alien races are real barbarians, and they don’t even have the basic "human" appearance. Enemies—because they are not "people" at all!The contradiction between Central Plains and Baiyue is the internal contradiction of human beings, while the contradiction with 36 alien races is the survival contradiction between human beings and another species.
Back to the topic: These Baiyue people live by fishing, hunting, gathering, and slash-and-burn farming, and they have always been struggling to survive... This is the reason for their ferocity!
If a group is struggling to survive, how can it not be fierce?In the face of "survival", of course "survival" is the most important thing.
Being poor creates treacherous schemes; being poor creates troublesome people—this is not to say that a person will become better after being rich, but that after a person has a certain amount of wealth and has no worries about food and clothing, he will not be so poor. Don't die.It is obvious that a safer and more comfortable method can be used to obtain the needs of survival, so the fool will work hard!Therefore, making the people of Baiyue rich... This is actually more conducive to the safety of the Central Plains!
……
"You can't make a person completely desperate... You know, some places are robbed by bandits. But these bandits only take a certain amount of money, rather than completely robbing everything...Why?"
Wang Er asked a seemingly simple question—of course, the "bandits" he mentioned did not include those vicious bandits and bandits in Hokage.They don't take a percentage of those things, but want all of them, because in Hokage, the power of ordinary businessmen is too limited, which is the absolute suppression of power.
"Naturally...Naturally..." Zhou Yixian said with a cheeky face, "In my place of etiquette in the Central Plains, even bandits and bandits are deeply educated and humane."
Xiaohuan pierced through and said, "Grandpa, you're talking nonsense again..."
After all, he is a grandpa and grandson, Zhou Yixian's sentence is the truth, and that sentence is nonsense, the young Xiaohuan can hear it with his eyes closed.Old Zhou Yixian blushed, waved his sleeves, and said angrily, "Go, when did your grandpa tell nonsense..."
Wang Er smiled and continued: "The bandits don't think so much. But after a long time, the bandits will naturally do it instinctively - because this is experience, and they are bought with their lives. Trying to snatch everything, forceful, natural You can live, but those who have been robbed and died in the wilderness, will definitely drag someone to the back! A person is willing to compromise because he still has something to compromise. He is willing to bow his head, It’s because those are still things that can be discarded! But... when they are dying, when they want to kill you, will they kill themselves willingly and give the goods and money to the bandits? No! It’s been a long time, bandits Naturally, I will try again and again to find the best solution - how much of the goods can be taken, which is acceptable to the merchants, and I will go here next time, and I can also reach some agreements with the bodyguards in private. protocol'……"
Zhang Xiaofan said: "So, the Central Plains' attitude towards southern Xinjiang should also be the same, they should not be left in such a state of scarcity, in this way the Central Plains is the safest."
Wang Erdao: "That's right. The dependence on daily necessities, you can't make people feel this kind of dependence. When you think about it, you are choking someone's neck, and if you use a little force with your hand, you will strangle him to death—you say, this way Can we not be vigilant and hostile to you? The lack of materials always reminds the people of Baiyue that the people of the Central Plains are holding our throats, and our life and death are not in our hands."
This is the accumulation of hatred.
……
In fact—as far as the history that Wang Er (by people) is familiar with is the same: as long as it can give people a bite to eat, it is not enough!
What's up with this?
One is that the imperial court’s strict control over salt, tea, and ironware made them extremely scarce living resources on the grasslands, and they were expensive. Primary processed commodities were circulated on the grasslands, and the prices were sky-high.Relying on the "scissors difference" to cut the grassland tribes into bald men.As soon as the cold wind blows on the grassland, the wind makes the egg cool, and the idea of "need" and "hatred" is planted in my heart.
They "need" these profiteers, but they "hate" these profiteers - the cattle and sheep that have worked hard for a year are all given to others, but they themselves still struggle on the edge of life and death...
Over the past dynasties...opening the mutual market is an excellent policy, but the "goodness" of this policy cannot be maintained due to the greed of businessmen and officials.It is often a few years before the mutual market, a little satisfied, and then looking back, the barbarians from the Nima grassland came to kill - the merchants are too dark, the officials are too dark, they have raised cattle and sheep for a year to come here in exchange for some necessities, and they can't guarantee their survival. .Then, you can only use a knife and put your life on the table to take back the wealth that was plundered by businessmen and expropriated by officials-this is not reasonable!This is survival!And if a mutual market is opened well enough, these can be avoided.
Hypothesis—just a "hypothesis", a mutual market can achieve "large quantity" and "fair price", which can meet the trade needs of two-thirds of the forces on the grassland, and keep two-thirds of the people a little away from the survival line... ...Then, they are herdsmen who are good at singing and dancing, and they don't bother to speak with knives anymore.
This has nothing to do with whether "brave" is not "brave" or "cruel" is not "cruel", because this is human nature:
At the beginning of human nature is good.
People love leisure and hate work, and they must love leisure and hate work. They yearn for the days of "more money, less work, close to home, high position, weight and responsibility; sleep until you wake up naturally, and count the money until your hands cramp"...
"But businessmen don't think about the future. They only care about how much they can earn today. If they don't go back and think about how to regenerate, they will just dig at the root... Therefore, what they have to do must be to maximize the current benefits, not to say ten The profit will be maximized after 20 years. The same is true for officials, and they will not think about the future... The Baiyue people who trade here are actually at a disadvantage. The things they bring out are worthless, but they are worthless. An old ginseng plant that is more than 300 years old has only changed a few dishes..."
Wang Er's finger pointed to a dish that a Miao man put on the ground.He can respond to the thoughts of those around him, so he is very clear about their situation.
Zhang Xiaofan said: "This is too much."
"Yeah...it's too much!"
The nature of the merchant ... or capital itself, has this disposition to plunder everything for itself.I don't even think about eating appearance or anything.
