Chapter 1082 Poisonous Plot

Su You smiled and said: "Actually, if you have to do something, you can still do it."

"oh?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember the recent situation on Hebei Road?"

Zhao Xu understood something: "That's what you said, the pumping effect of economically developed areas on economically underdeveloped areas?"

In order to make Zhao Xu understand this economic principle, Su You used the analogy of pumping water.

"Precisely, the purpose of suppressing mergers and acquisitions is to reduce the gap between the poor and the rich. This effect is especially obvious in currency countries and economically underdeveloped countries."

"For example, matches are produced mainly in big cities such as Bianjing, Chengdu, and Hangzhou. But their users are all over the country."

"The production cost of matches is related to materials and labor costs. The living standard in Bianjing is high and workers' wages are high, so matches will be expensive."

"And the price of these things is nothing in the eyes of Bianjing people, but in Miaodong in the mountains of Jinghu Lake, only the top people may be able to afford them."

"This is the pumping effect of developed areas on poor areas. Through such product sales, water from poor areas actually flows to developed areas. This trade deficit between regions makes poor areas even more impoverished."

"What we are doing now is to add water to several roads in Hebei, and through major projects such as river construction, city building, and road construction, the economic water sources will flow back to these places. Let the people there get wages. It feels like matches are not enough.

expensive."

"I estimate that there are many people in the Liao Dynasty who can see through Guan Zhong's methods, but there are probably only a few who can see through this."

Wang Gui and Cai Que looked at each other. Is this Tao Zhu's ability?

Just listen to Su You said: "The same reason is true among industries. The three companies should evaluate domestic industries. For those that need water injection, the country should use economic leverage, tax exemptions, land transfers, project priority and other measures

, provide encouragement and support.”

"For those with excess, we should raise tax rates, lower prices, streamline integration, and stabilize them."

"Now we are talking about the Liao Kingdom. The prosperity of the coastal states and counties of the Liao Kingdom will undoubtedly have such an impact on its impoverished north. We only need to intensify this intensity, which will bring a lot of trouble to the Liao Kingdom."

"It is impossible with today's wisdom to use economic means to attack the economic pillar of a country like Guan Zhong did, but we can still affect its economic balance."

"The prosperity of the Liao Kingdom's coastal areas did not rely on their own production capacity, but on the Song's commodity exports, currency exports, and even taxes in their own warehouses."

"In order to make big profits, local officials did not hesitate to lend treasury silver for short-term loans to purchase goods on the two islands."

Wang Gui was a little surprised: "The monarchs of the Liao Dynasty were tyrannical. How dare their officials do this?"

Su You smiled and said: "Why don't you dare to do this? The Liao Dynasty also issued the Spring and Autumn Taxes. From the time when the taxes were concentrated in the treasury to the time when they were released to the capital, there was still time."

"If taxes are collected earlier and disbursed later, a lot of tax revenue will be controlled by the state government."

"Use this time and tax money to buy goods, sell them, then eat the profits, and return the principal to the bank. Who knows?"

Wang Gui was born as a scholar and didn't know much about these tricks. He couldn't help but feel horrified: "This...I am going to..."

Su You smiled and said: "Where is this? Shipping is not a one-time shipment, it is always done in installments, right? In fact, as long as the second batch is received and the first batch is sent, then the local and state officials will have it forever.

There is a batch of tax money that exists.”

"Let alone short-term trade, even for long-term payment turnover, they still have enough principal for deployment."

Wang Gui has fallen into the curse of Qian Gang's transfer, and the sweat is dripping from his forehead: "Sansi...Does Sansi know? How did our dynasty handle it..."

Su You was too lazy to talk to Wang Gui and continued to talk about the Liao Kingdom: "Let the officials of the Liao Dynasty's state government do this business, purchase and ship goods, they will not be willing to do this."

Wang Gui was really confused: "This is a free pick, why are they unwilling to do it?"

Su You sneered: "Because it's troublesome to pick it up for free."

"Isn't it more convenient for them to directly lend the funds to businessmen and recover the principal and interest in short and long term?"

"Yeah..." At this moment, Wang Gui felt like a fool.

Su You then bowed to Zhao Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the merchants are doing a booming business and have enough profits to pay the interest of the state officials. The entire coastal states and counties of the Liao Kingdom have become prosperous because of the dividends from this trade.

.”

"People's living standards are rising steadily. They don't need to farm and weave, graze cattle to boil salt, or do some small business, which can provide enough for the whole family to live happily. Although it has some impact on the north, my life is always good."

"If you earn 500 yuan a day from business, you can buy 70 kilograms of rice. Who wouldn't want to live like this?"

Wang Gui, Cai Que, and Zhao Xu were all frightened, knowing that what Su You was going to say next would have very terrible consequences.

Sure enough, Su You surrendered to the three of them again: "This prosperous and good situation is based on the trading activities on Zhangzidao and Ludao. Such trading activities are not supported by the legal principles of the Song Dynasty."

"So if one day... the Song Dynasty decides to take action and let this foundation suddenly disappear, what will happen?"

Zhao Xu stood up suddenly: "Okay! This is a big hole dug for the Liao people!"

Wang Gui was so frightened that he waved his hands: "If you can't do it, that will be the consequence of the Liao Lord gathering hundreds of thousands of troops and marching southward!"

Cai Que also held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is important. Hebei is empty now, so we must not irritate the Liao people too much. Uh... I guess Duke Yu has some other plans."

Su You was also frightened: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the ruler are right. At this stage, before Hebei is not in peace, we really cannot stimulate the Liao people too much."

"In other words, our goals cannot be set too high. It is impossible to completely attack the two industries of agriculture and animal husbandry."

"At this stage, it can affect its economic balance, continue to create false prosperity along the coast, quietly start inflation through currency exports, create a huge income gap between coastal areas and the mainland, and form a more severe suction effect, which will make its economy

lost balance……"

"If Your Majesty is still not satisfied, then...in addition, cultivate the comprador class, cultivate pro-Song forces, and use them to influence the national policy of the Liao Kingdom..."

"Also, it would be okay to support some of their industries..."

Zhao Xu was stunned: "Mingrun, are you sure you are right? I support industries for the Liao Kingdom?!"

Su You touched his nose: "When I occupied the three states in the South China Sea, didn't I also support the sugar cane industry... Who knew that the sugar cane knife later evolved into a weapon of the rebels and overthrew the tyranny..."

Zhao Xu thought for a while: "What industry is better?"

Su You said: "It cannot be agriculture and animal husbandry, the two industries that enhance its national strength. This...I think it is mineral deposits."

"The introduction of mineral deposits has increased the number of miners in the Liao people. The miners are all strong men, because mining must be concentrated. Once their livelihood is finally cut off, they are most likely to rebel. That is... I am afraid that the Liao people will not be fooled..."

Cai Que suddenly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, and your Majesty, what do you think... of logging?!"

Depend on!

I heard Cai Que say: "Logging is similar to mining. It also requires the concentration of strong men and the use of tools such as knives and axes."

"Also, logging must be in forest areas, and the forest areas in Liaodong are occupied by straight female tribes."

"Nowadays, the straight women are becoming rebellious. If we can convince the top officials of the Liao Dynasty, for them, through the timber trade with us, can it also play a role in appeasing the straight women?"

"With the current moral character of the Liao people, they will definitely subcontract this business to the local tribal leaders, and they will make a huge profit from it."

"Timber is no better than mineral deposits, it will not overly stimulate the Liao people, and it is very profitable."

"In this case, if they have a weapon against straight women, they will probably turn a blind eye."

"And we can also use the wood to build cities and ships on Zhangzi Island."
