And it is calculated that people in the world are unlikely to be willing to use their family wealth to bet. This is really not a wild guess by Li Er. This reason is simply too simple. After all, what is "family wealth"?
This is not all the money a family needs to spend to live.
And since it is money used to live, why would people invest in something that obviously has a low return rate?
Although Li Er does not understand the specific concept of return rate, Li Er at least knows the "probability of getting a return", at least he knows that there is such a thing.
result.
However, as soon as the report about this result arrived in Chang'an, Li Er quickly grasped the key points!
Ordinary people are unwilling to get involved in this matter because most people in the world either work in factories or farm. Basically, they are all manual labor.
Most common people do not have the conditions to master the outstanding skills of craftsmen like those in the Port Saint-Vincent Submarine Factory. Of course, the court will not turn a blind eye to this situation, and will still provide opportunities for craftsmen and farmers in the world to gain employment.
of steps.
Because, in recent days, with the death and decomposition of hundreds of pirates on this giant ship on the sea, now I finally have a leisurely time - well, at least it can be said that it is relatively leisurely.
!
And the result of being relatively free like this is that I miss my child. After all, we are on separate sides today. Not to mention the child's mother and grandson miss me, even I can't bear it.
So, I went to Zizhenzhai in Chang'an and bought a lot of various books written by my children.
After reading this, of course I also took advantage of the opportunity to study the latest "financial skills" that this kid had developed. Unfortunately, Li Er then re-understood the "science" taught by Li Sheng in several major academies.
way.
This understanding gave Li Er some thought, and he finally figured out something!
Of course it's not some new theory or new technology.
Instead, Li Er suddenly realized one thing, that is, Li Sheng's "scientific" technique seemed to belong to farming in a certain sense!
To be precise, it is farming in a broad sense. What is farming in a broad sense?
In ancient times in China, when the society was clear and bright, farming generally referred to small farmers. As for the annexation period, it was poor tenants from all walks of life. And these tenants were not just farming as their occupation, but many were engaged in other things.
business.
For example, Luocao becomes a bandit, goes up the mountain to rob the road, etc.
Although the official Confucianist caliber has always denounced these criminals, this was done openly and secretly. Although the emperor with a real brain would definitely beat down the bandits composed of these poor peasants with thunderous means, in fact he held meetings behind closed doors.
Sometimes, these people will still be regarded as farmers.
To put it bluntly, farmers refer to the bottom population, and because the scenes where these farmers are discussed are often in peacetime, and in peacetime, there is naturally no war.
There is no war, which means that no one plunders things from others - of course, except for the scholar-official economy, but this expenditure is just a necessity. After all, if we don't do this, there will be grass-headed kings everywhere, and things will be even more ugly.
.To sum up briefly, generally speaking, there is no subject that can really be regarded as having the economic basis of "plundering others".
Even if they are scholar-bureaucrats, they still have to abide by the law, work for the emperor, and most importantly, the emperor wants his ministers to die. And even the emperor himself, the emperor himself is not responsible to anyone, which is a huge responsibility in itself, because of dialectics
It has been decided that those who are not accountable to anyone are the ones who will inevitably be held accountable the most and have no chance of running away.
Under such circumstances, how can everyone in the world, whether it is scholar-bureaucrats or the emperor himself, make a living?
The answer, of course, is to plunder nature, as the saying goes, "eating from the soil."
And when the matter of digging for food in the soil does not go smoothly, the world will undergo chaos and fission, and a large number of mutated creatures will appear, changing from robbing nature for food to robbing other humans for food.
The existence of imperial power can be said to be the best solution that the ancients came up with in the face of this sad reality. It is the greatest common denominator.
However, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that Li Er studied what Li Sheng had created and discovered to his surprise that what "science" really studies is how to move from the humble plundering of nature of "looking at the sky to eat" to a more ferocious and male one.
Be more proactive and plunder nature!
To find more things out of the dirt.
From the humble, melancholy plunder of ordinary farmers, to the crazy plunder of laughter and blood at all costs!
No wonder, no wonder the food output of the Tang Dynasty has become so large. Isn't this equivalent to everyone using the "magic weapon" of chemical fertilizer to plunder it from the soil with a knife and a gun!
When he realized this, Li Er was so numb that he worked for a long time.
So it turns out that Li Sheng's strange skills are the true way of the ancient holy king?
Damn it.
Such a shocking discovery made Li Er feel numb.
Because, if this "science" is not just some thaumaturgy, but a real path, that means,
Speaking of ancient sages, especially many thinkers in the Taoist school, there is a view that the world will never be fair. This is not to say that so and so has sinned so badly that we should attack it - this kind of superficial unfairness, but more
Seriously, unfairness more generally.
That is the kind of unfairness that cannot be avoided even if everyone is careful and makes countless efforts.
This kind of unfairness was summarized by thinkers in later generations in literature, and this work is a hidden corner. And this kind of inherent unfairness that cannot be eliminated, must have long been predators who chose to plunder human beings.
The life in such a secret corner, developed to the extreme, is the political strategists from all walks of life during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. These are all professional predators. Mencius once criticized these people as beasts who feared chaos in the world. However,
After Mencius, those smart people in history quickly forgot Mencius' criticism, because everyone with a discerning eye knows that in this world, everyone has his own experience and everyone has his own destiny.
However, there are still a large number of strategists after all, so in order to solve this problem, various merit systems have emerged. The military merit system in Qin and Han Dynasties was to give these people a chance to change their destiny, because the destiny of these guys is generally better than that of ordinary people.
