"To put it simply, this layout was officially determined in the year Yihai (AD 195). It has taken seven years since it was officially implemented.
Although this time is very long, in fact, if Liu Biao is not full of idiots who do not understand economics, otherwise this time will be further extended. If the economic and technical strength of the two sides are not much different, then the layout may not even be completed in a lifetime.
Therefore, the fundamental condition for planning an economic invasion is that it can only be carried out when the economic strength and technical strength are directly put aside for a long distance from the opponent. Otherwise, a lot of manpower and material resources will be spent, and the results may be less than expected.
More. What is certain is that at least there will be no loss..." Meng Jie first briefly introduced the basic situation of this plan before providing information.
After listening to his explanation, although everyone still didn't understand much about this so-called economic invasion, they already had some idea. It seemed to them that this was a way to directly use money and technology to make the other party give up their territory.
.
"Okay, now that you have a general understanding, you can start from the layout of the first year. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. And I am not far from you. Because of my responsibilities
, which is to organize all the information and documents of the layout over the years." Meng Jie said to them with a smile.
"But what should we do if we still can't understand those words?" Deng Ai, who was only five years old, asked along with a dozen students of similar age.
"Already aware of this problem, there is actually only one piece of information, so you just go to the corner over there and the students in the advanced and graduating classes select representatives to read one copy to everyone.
Of course, make sure you read it to me louder and spell it more clearly. Otherwise, if other students can't hear it, they can just go up and beat the person in charge of reading." The thank you letter immediately announced.
The students smiled bitterly at what he announced, but they quickly elected representatives, brought the materials and started reciting.
Of course, what was interesting was that when the first representative came up timidly, he finally opened the book. As a result, he was quickly attracted by the information recorded in the book, and for a moment he actually forgot to read it out.
With the instructions from Xie Xin, the students were naturally unceremonious and went up to beat the crazy student.
It's like a broken radio that finally returned to normal after being slapped hard...
"Sorry, I was a little obsessed before! But, I believe that when I read it out, you will also be fascinated!" Zhang Quan (son of Zhang Xiu), who was in charge of reading, said with a silly smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and just read it!" Yue Xi said impatiently.
"Okay, I'll start reading now!" Zhang Quan smiled and started reading.
This material actually only records various arrangements and detailed operations from March to May of Yihai year. It is compiled and revised based on the original data. The purpose is to leave detailed information of an economic war to future generations.
It is convenient for them to refer to this information and formulate a more complete and powerful economic invasion war.
According to book records, in early March of the Year Yihai, a large amount of grain poured into Jingzhou, which caused the price of grain in Jingzhou to plummet, and all the people who grew grain suffered greatly.
Soon, a large number of caravans from Nanyang County entered Jingzhou, especially Jingnan, vigorously promoting various cash crops. From sisal to tea, and even various fruit and medicinal materials were promoted, and they said they would recycle them at high prices.
Many farmers are hesitant, but many aristocratic families have already begun to try to plant some. Because they have seen that in the barren land of Jingnan, apart from cash crops, they cannot harvest much food. And these cash crops, even those merchants
If the team didn’t recycle it, selling it would be much more expensive than growing food, so I boldly tried it.
As of the end of May in the Year Yihai, one-third of the cultivated land in Jingzhou had been converted to cash crops. The following year, the grain production in Jingzhou was bound to decrease, which was already an unstoppable thing.
Subsequently, a large number of businessmen under Xie Bian's influence came to various prefectures and counties in Jingzhou, cooperated with local aristocratic families, and opened shops one after another. Local aristocratic families accounted for the majority, while cooperative merchants accounted for a small portion, selling products under Xie Bian's rule.
Various specialty products and industrial products.
A large number of exquisite industrial products made in Nanyang poured into various parts of Jingzhou. With the help of the family, they quickly seized the market. By the end of May of the Year Yihai, more than 300 shops had been established, directly accounting for one-tenth of the total market in Jingzhou.
In addition, the caravan under Xie Bian's rule was poaching all kinds of craftsmen everywhere. The wages given were twice those in Jingzhou, and professional title evaluations were also conducted, indicating that the higher the professional title, the higher the wages. In the end, it was
The trump card is thrown out - those with outstanding achievements can become officials by virtue of their status as craftsmen!
For craftsmen who have worked hard for most of their lives and have to humble themselves in front of dignitaries, this is naturally the most attractive reward. So by the end of May of Yihai year, more than 500 craftsmen of various types have switched jobs to the Xie Bian force, especially
It's Nanyang County. Because of this, the stores opened in Jingzhou can get one-tenth of the total market in Jingzhou.
In early April, merchants were selling weapons and equipment to various places in Jingzhou, and put forward the concept of "making it is better to buy it". They said that the local smelting technology in Jingzhou was too poor, the production cost was too high, and the production time was too long, so they sold them weapons and equipment produced in Nanyang County.
of elite weapons and armor.
As a result, the military attachés from various places made a comparison and found that the price of such elite armor was about 10% cheaper than the armor made in the previous place, so they naturally agreed happily. Because of this behavior, a large number of craftsmen lost their jobs and were poached.
Under the rule of Xie Bian.
In mid-March, businessmen visited Jingzhou aristocratic families door-to-door and stated that they would invest in setting up factories under Xie Bian's rule. They also told them that there would be many preferential policies for setting up factories there, and the goods produced would be cheap and high-quality.
It's a good business with lots of money.
After some introductions and on-site inspections, by the end of May of Yihai year, businessmen had initially attracted more than a dozen investments, most of which were in Nanyang County. Subsequently, more than a dozen workshops began to be built, and there are currently no
Put into production.
Zhang Quan read slowly, and the students listened with interest.
For most students, this is boring data or a pretty good story.
But for Ma Liang and many other students, their faces turned blue after hearing this.
If the food shock continues for several years, Jingzhou's food will inevitably have to rely on imports from other places. If a war breaks out and Xie Bian cuts off food exports, civil unrest will inevitably break out in Jingzhou in just a few months.
The industrial and commercial arrangements in the later period were all about poaching Jingzhou. In the end, although there were a lot of taxes, all materials had to be imported. The first order of fattening was the aristocratic family, followed by the businessmen under Xie Bian's rule, and finally the
Jingzhou government office.
And if there is profit, there will naturally be loss, so who is the one who suffers?
The answer is naturally the people of Jingzhou!
In the later period, it was obvious that the common people were working for the merchants of Nanyang County. However, the money they earned ended up being used to buy goods produced in Nanyang County, but they had to pay taxes to Jingzhou.
Although the overall salary may be high, the life is not bad.
But what if there is a war?
As long as all shops are divested, at least 80% of the people in Jingzhou will face unemployment. If the Jingzhou government fails to handle the situation properly, it will send troops without any excuses, and the angry people can tear the officials into pieces alive.
What they see now is just the tip of the iceberg of the entire plan.
But just this corner is enough to make their scalps numb...
