Li Er was thinking about it, but Li Sheng was also observing. After staring at these old guys for a few seconds...
Li Shengxin said it so clearly, everyone should understand it, right? So he continued... "And the so-called trade barriers..."
"As we all know, the walls and fortresses of our Chinese cities all came out of nowhere. When did they develop and grow?"
"Isn't that the Eastern Han Dynasty... Warriors like Ran Tianwang grew stronger, and as time went by... everyone discovered that ordinary armies couldn't stop these heavy-armored knights. So... in order to protect the safety of their homes
Therefore, all the people in the counties and counties of the world built forts one after another. And after the forts were built..."
"Well, Wubao is not important."
Li Sheng waved his hand, raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip of undistilled sugar cane wine to soothe his throat, and then said, "The important thing is that the same is true for trade. Everyone in Shundi in the Tang Dynasty has always been in deficit, and gold and silver continue to be transferred from the country.
Loss…”
"They may not have the Legalist whiskers to warn the monarch that there is a problem and that the country needs to be frugal... But the reduction of gold and silver will disrupt the circulation of commodities and cause social problems. So..."
"It only takes a day or two for the problem to appear, but over time, even if people are not smart enough, they will still become anxious...so they will jump over the wall and destroy the trade itself, or...try to benefit from the sea trade tide.
Profit, this is a matter of course. Well, let's put it this way..."
Li Sheng raised his head and looked at Li Er and others helplessly, "You guys understand, right? This is a trade barrier."
Seeing Li Sheng's eyes, Li Er, Wei Zheng and others...
If it were in the past, they would be severely ashamed to be explained by a junior "taking the trouble" to explain one thing. For this group of top elites of the Tang Dynasty, this feeling is simply... But today, this kind of indifference
Egg Yong's emotions had long been thrown aside by Li Er, Wei Zheng and others, and now everyone only had excitement in their minds.
That was very exciting!
Li Sheng's explanation of "trade barriers"... they understood it, but... there is this trade barrier, but they don't know what its use is... However, they know it very clearly.
Li Sheng, he must know what it is for!
Of course, water from afar cannot quench our thirst. Everyone is in Chang'an, but Li Sheng is far away in Hangzhou...
But what a coincidence now is that everyone is also in Hangzhou, and they are drinking with Li Sheng.
That……
In that case, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Li Sheng, right?
Li Er was filled with great anticipation and was inexplicably excited. He turned his head and waved his hand to look at the waiter in the store and said, "Four more legs of lamb!"
Although he and his child have not seen each other for many years, Li Er is still very concerned about him. He also knows very clearly "where the child has been recently." Knowing that Li Sheng has not been to Lingzhou for a while, he decisively ordered Lingzhou for Li Sheng.
food.
As for Hangzhou and Lingzhou, although they are both large commercial ports, it can even be said that the two big cities lead to the Central Asia region around Persia, and are connected to countless countries and tribes on the way. However, in comparison, the food in Hangzhou is better than that in Lingzhou
Much better - although there are many excellent chefs in Lingzhou, seafood is indeed not available.
Of course, Hangzhou...
Hearing that Li Er ordered two legs of lamb, Li Sheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He said to himself that this old Li is really good at things. He deserves to be a professional businessman... He really knew that he missed Lingzhou's legs of lamb.
Good wine and food were served, and Li Sheng continued to explain.
"As for what to do about this trade barrier...my assessment is: not much to do."
"ah?"
"Ah? This..."
Li Er, Wei Zheng and others immediately looked at each other, holy shit...
I specially ordered a lamb leg for you and waited for you to talk about it in detail, but the result... is this?
You say it’s just childish, you can get it done in minutes, and yet you still “don’t know what to do”... isn’t this a joke!
But then Li Sheng's surprised look at everyone and the angry look like "You profiteer, give me my money back" seemed to disappear, and he continued talking to himself, "There will definitely be more and more barriers in the future.
.Considering that this is still a pre-modern world, there is no doubt that...the establishment of barriers is actually more problematic than after the establishment of modernity."
"At this time, it is extremely difficult for you to destroy the barrier..."
What Li Sheng said is not just a random comment by a science student, but it does come from his own social experience.
Like the era in which the Tang Dynasty lived, even most areas of the Tang Dynasty were agricultural societies.
How can there be such things as modernity, instrumental rationality, and consumerism in a farming society? There are only a few philosophical products created by the most powerful philosophers in China who have exhausted their efforts, and almost all of them are hard-core content.
These contents saved China countless times when it fell into disaster countless times.
And this is still good, if not so good...
There is no such philosophical layout at all, and there are a few that have a bit of it... that is, the Islamic world and the Buddhist world. But unfortunately, the later Buddhist world was arranged a bit miserably... If it weren't for China's generous hospitality, the subcontinent would
The little spark of civilization that finally popped up will turn into something like Pompeii.
Of course, these are China's trump cards, and many overseas countries and tribes... It can be seen from the fate of later generations that most of them do not have any philosophical plans at all, and even if they do, they are often unable to be used due to low population.
Function, gradually disappearing. And in such a society...
It is too easy to establish a religion.
Although it is also a religion, the religion established by the Philosopher King can open up a large empire that lasts for hundreds of years. However, without the philosophical presence of the Philosopher King, it often regresses quickly and becomes a tool for monks to plunder the people...
Of course, this does not mean that there are no heroes in overseas native tribes. In fact, they still exist.
As for the true heroes of these natives, they will not weave religion to harvest the wealth of the people. These kind of people are generally good people, but -
A hero who was a good person to these small foreign countries was inevitably a bit unlucky to the Tang Dynasty.
Is the great business of collecting precious metals in the Tang Dynasty still possible? Right...
But such a reckless hero is unlikely to be blocked by treaties and the like. Although Li Sheng is not a liberal arts student, he has seen some famous scenes in world history on the Internet.
therefore……
Just when Li Sheng said this, Li Er and others gradually understood and felt that the matter was more and more difficult...
Li Sheng suddenly smiled and said.
"Breaking down barriers, it is impossible to break down barriers... Establishing the United Nations is not a matter of time, but if you are really in a hurry, you can get some spices."
