Agriculture is the primary industry, and economic activities start from here, but things are so helpless. The primary industry is the most difficult to make profits from economic activities. Farmers who farm can exchange their land for very little money throughout the year, and they are really a penny that can be spent in half. The reason is very simple. Their labor is very small and there are very few things that are considered commodities, and commercial activities in living spaces are also very rare. Where can I exchange money? The idle people in the city do odd jobs and earn dozens of cents in a day. Farmers who farm are willing to spend ten times more effort, but who pays?

Collecting a penny of copper coins from farmers who farm is equivalent to increasing the burden of several pennies. Money is itself an exploitation for them. The stronger the natural economy, the heavier the exploitation will be.

Xu Ping heard a saying in his previous life that the monetization of taxes was an improvement, which showed that the commodity economy was active, but now it was a completely different idea. There was no commodity economy in the countryside, and it was a ghost to be active. Monetization would inevitably increase the burden on farmers, and this burden was very heavy. Xu Ping remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, some remote villages, for the book fee of more than ten yuan for their children to go to school, could make the adults at home die, let alone this era.

The taxes of farmers should be to collect physical goods and give them money. As long as they do this, farmers' lives will improve. On the contrary, if they collect money from farmers, agriculture will inevitably go bankrupt step by step and land will accelerate concentration.

The purpose of opening a business and selling company in the countryside was to collect local products through Sansipuzi to transport copper coins to the countryside. Now, Li Xiao was asked to adopt the recruitment law and pay copper coins to poor farmers for the same purpose.

Capitalist capital does not include land, and food in the commodity economy is not commodities.

The reason why capital is called capital rather than commonly referred to as money and wealth is because it is part of the commodity economy cycle. From here, we must finally achieve the goal of expanding reproduction. Relatively speaking, land does not have the potential to expand reproduction and is naturally different from capital. Food is a necessity for human survival. If society needs to develop in an orderly manner, this necessity cannot become a commodity, otherwise it will have to pay a huge price.

The farmers who mainly produce food are outside the commodity economy. The city walls seem to be fences one by one. The group of people with the largest number of people in the world are blocked outside the fences, watching the singing and dancing in peace and prosperity. What they pursue is nothing more than clothing that can cover their bodies and food can fill their stomachs.

The vast countryside lacks commodities for economic exchange, and even more lacks the magical monster money. To make the rural economy better, farmers must have channels to exchange goods or labor for money. The more channels, the better.

The "land encirclement movement" of sheep eating people in history only shows the greed of capitalists. For the sake of capital's growth, it can trample on all morals and conscience, and is not a stage that social development must go through. Xu Ping was a human being in his two lives, and he had such a vision to see these shortcomings. Of course, he should do his best to avoid and ease, rather than to fuel the fire.

If you can repair the canal and slowly lure the water out, don’t let the flood rage.

Xu Ping tried to say it to Li Xu and Yang Gao in the simplest and clearest words he could think of. After listening for a long time, they were still confused. These things have never happened, no one has experienced them, or even no one has even said them. Xu Ping himself has been a human being for two lifetimes, dealing with farmers for many years, and summarizing these with the knowledge and experiences he has learned.

Looking at Li Wei, Xu Ping said seriously: "You have been well-read poetry and books since you were a child and are proficient in classics. If you talk about the principles of governing the world, you are probably more convinced than me. It is just one thing, and doing it is one thing. If you have learned great scholars, you must use the great principles you said to truly make the world peaceful and the people happy, so that you can spread it to the future generations. Otherwise, even if you enjoy a great reputation for a while, no one will care about it after a hundred years. I only read the general principles and do not seek much understanding. The principles may not be so clear, but when traveling to officialdom, no matter where you are, you can make contributions to the court and make hundreds of them.

Life is better. I believe that with these measures, the local area of ​​Jingxi Road can also be used to make the local area prosperous and make the people live a prosperous life. It is nothing more, because whenever I make a decision, I ask myself in the middle of the night, and I have really done my best to consider the people. You have been by my side for many years, and it is useless to say more to you. Next, you just need to sort out these measures carefully and figure it out. When I leave Jingxi Road, I tell me what I did, what benefits, what disadvantages it brought, what shortcomings it brought."

Xu Ping did not say this to Li Wei as a boss, but as a teacher, Li Wei respectfully agreed.

Xu Ping had a feeling that he had worked hard in this world for many years and it was time to bear fruit. After so many years of experience, Li Lu's thoughts were changing, and he slowly understood Xu Ping's logic of doing things.

Xu Ping told Yang again: "I have told Sansi that the shops on Jingxi Road will be temporarily handed over to the Transportation Department for stewardship. This year, Sansi Shop will buy local products from various places. Remember to try to collect them from the hands of various trading companies. Each transaction will be paid in real money, and it is strictly forbidden to change. If the actual money is insufficient, borrow from the money bank for the time being, and another one will be added to the iron coins in Ruzhou. I have already approved it in Jingxi.

There was a money surveillance on the road, which was originally intended to be located in Xixia County, Dengzhou. It was a bit inappropriate after thinking about it. The money was to be scattered in Luoyang City, so it was changed to Henan Prefecture. It is temporarily set up a new Fucai Supervisor at the source of the water in Heqing County, where there are coal and charcoal, and transportation is also convenient. Most of the copper used in the money surveillance was transported from Xixia County, and the other part used the old money received. Heqing County was about to rush, and there were many old money buried there, which could be destroyed and recast."

After hearing this, Yang Gao breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best thing. I have a heartache in my heart. To be honest, I have opened a new money shop since this year, and I have been using real money to get into households. There are too many places involving cash. If you are not careful, you will cause a big problem. With the money manager, you will have a clear idea in your heart, which is reassuring."

The copper coins cast from the money supervisor are theoretically owned by the inner warehouse, and the emperor's private wealth is, but the outer road supervisor always borrows from the Transportation Commissioner. Moreover, with Xu Ping's position in Zhao Zhen's mind, the money in the inner warehouse is easier to use than the money of the Sansi. Several emperors of the Zhao family were extremely sensitive to the accounts of the inner warehouse belonging to their own private wealth, similar to the wealthy lords in the countryside. Before Emperor Taizong passed away, he specially called the Zhenzong who was the one who took over the position to his room and gave him one box one by one, and personally guided the accounts of the inner warehouse, which was considered to hand over the power. There are many things used to calculate the number of ivory chopsticks, South China Sea pearls, and all kinds of unexpected things were used to count, and only the emperor himself knew it.

When Zhao Zhen was in charge of minting coins on Jingxi Road, as long as Zhao Zhen asked Xu Ping to use it, it would actually give him unlimited minting rights. It depends on how capable Xu Ping was to get copper materials for minting coins. On Jingxi Road, he made great efforts and spent money like flowing water. Xu Ping also received financial support from Zhao Zhen, otherwise he would not have such great confidence.
