Chapter 15 This is the economy

The next moment, Li Zhao's voice reappeared: I have never heard of people who rule a dynasty for a long time without learning from ancient experience.

I'm pedantic, stubborn, and antique. Do you know what innovation is? Innovation is to find new ways to govern the country in order to achieve the best.

Qin Shihuang's move to establish the prefecture and county system was an innovation, which laid a solid political foundation for later generations and established Qin Shihuang's reputation as the first emperor.

ah!

When Ying Zheng heard this, his heart moved and a light shone in his eyes.

It turns out that his approach to the county system was correct and was recognized by later generations, which means he did nothing wrong.

"Innovation, yes, this is innovation! I am the first emperor of innovation, haha!" Ying Zheng felt extremely proud and comfortable.

"The old immortal stepped on me in front of Qin Shihuang, saying that I don't understand anything, and you don't understand anything. You are just a person who has been carried away by Confucianism. He must have come to instigate Fusu to talk about the unity of heaven and earth. Naturally

Let’s fool Qin Shihuang with words like rules!”

Yeah! Ying Zheng heard Li Zhao's thoughts and smiled slightly. This guy is quite knowledgeable! He actually knew that Chun Yuyue was confused by Confucianism and Taoism. But, what did he say? The unity of heaven and earth is the law of nature? Is it true?

Isn’t it right? Price fluctuations should be destined by God!

"pedantic!"

Hearing Li Zhao say these two words in his heart, Ying Zheng felt nervous. He really thought that Li Zhao did it on purpose and called him pedantic. Isn't the price fluctuation destined by God?

"I originally didn't want to say too much to avoid being remembered by the Second Emperor Qin, but this is so hateful, so I have to say it."

Li Zhao couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and said bitterly to himself.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he felt happy. He originally planned to use other methods to stimulate Li Zhao and make him talk, but he never thought that Chunyu Yue would help.

"Your Majesty, now that I think about it, I know a little bit," Li Zhao said boldly.

Ying Zheng smiled knowingly, "Okay, as worthy of being my young lady, tell me what you think."

Chun Yuyue's face turned serious. Isn't this kid refuting his face? He is so young and unmotivated, but he is actually playing tricks on his mind. Well, I'll let you tell me. If you can't tell me why, I will make him look good.

At this moment, the famous Confucian scholar was full of slander.

"I think the price of jade is more than this. There is still room for increase, at least ten times."

Before Li Zhao finished speaking, Chunyu Yue rushed to retort, "Your Majesty, these ridiculous words are just the opinions of a villain! Heaven, earth and man are great. This is the law of nature. No one can violate it. The price of jade is also the same.

.”

"Six times is beyond the rules, ten times? It's a fantasy, a fantasy!"

"I implore you to capture this slanderous son immediately and punish him for deceiving the emperor."

Chunyu Yue spoke righteously and sternly, wishing he could take the son on behalf of the emperor to avoid harming the internal funds.

Fusu also echoed: "Father, I also think what the teacher said is reasonable, but it is ten times too whimsical."

Ying Zheng ignored it, waved his hand, and asked Li Zhao, "What do you mean by this?"

Li Zhao cupped his hands and said: "Dr. Chunyu just said that heaven is a natural law and no one can violate it. This is true, but the fluctuation of jade prices is not a natural law, but an economic law, which can be controlled by humans."

"Economic law?" Ying Zheng fell into deep thought, and soon showed curiosity, and said hurriedly: "Tell me quickly."

Seems like he's interested.

Chunyu Yue's face darkened, and he secretly thought that His Majesty's expression was okay, but he must have been confused by the boy. What is not the law of nature, but the law of economics, has never been mentioned in Confucianism and Taoism, it is obviously nonsense.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to the slander. The economy is a gift from God. Its quality depends entirely on God's will and cannot be done by man."

shit!

Li Zhao cursed secretly, then said tit for tat: "Dr. Chunyu, don't bully children..."

Chunyu Yue has a lot of black marks on his face. He bullies a child? He dares to slander in front of His Majesty and questions what he has learned. Is he a child? He is obviously more hateful than that guy Li Si.

Li Si is just hateful. Not long ago, Li Si came to him and asked him to impeach the boy in front of him. He also said that if he didn't do it, it would be impossible for him to become an official again.

That bastard is clearly a threat.

"The price of commodities is determined by the market and fluctuates due to supply and demand. This is the law of the economy. Take the jade statue as an example. The reason why it plummeted some time ago is because people sold a lot of goods, which caused the market to flood and the price naturally dropped.

Fluctuations, but once the market is short, it will go up. Just like in the past few days, no one is selling anymore, and there is no shadow of the jade statue in the market, so it will naturally soar."

"We can describe things as rare and expensive."

Well! After listening to Li Zhao's words, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. Price is determined by the market? Supply and demand? Fluctuate up and down? What a new word! This guy knows a lot!

Moreover, it seems like this. During this period, he paid special attention to the jade market, which was really fluctuating up and down.

Huh! Chunyu Yue snorted angrily, feeling old-fashioned, and said: "I don't know what you are talking about. Price fluctuations are natural laws and the will of God, but do these have anything to do with ten times?"

Oh! Ying Zheng nodded, these theories sounded very new, but they really had nothing to do with Ten Times. He would like to hear Li Zhao’s views or any suggestions.

"Of course there is a relationship. This involves capital manipulation."

Capital control? Ying Zheng heard a new word again, and his interest suddenly increased.

"Hmph! That's nonsense. Money and silk are just capital, and governing a country is the foundation. Who can control it? A bastard is talking shamelessly and trying to disrupt the country's affairs. Your Majesty, you must be severely punished. This son's words are ruining the country!"

Chunyu Yue once again appeared to be heartbroken and dedicated to the country and the people.

Li Zhao retorted, "Old man, don't hide it. Capital is the money and silk of wealthy businessmen. Through speculation, they caused the price of jade to drop significantly, which caused panic. Then everyone followed suit and sold the jade at the lowest price, while the wealthy businessman sold the jade at the lowest price.

Buy in large quantities at a high price. When jade is scarce in the market and everyone needs jade, the wealthy businessmen will sell the jade in their hands, and the price will rise higher and higher. It has risen several times in these days, and then

That’s the truth.”

"When the wealthy businessmen sell almost nothing and the price reaches a high level, they will leave and the price will plummet and eventually return to normal."

"This is the law of price, which is called economy."

Li Zhao spoke eloquently and without any reservation, which made several people unable to react for a moment, and there was silence for an instant.

In fact, these common senses were gained from watching too many short videos in his previous life. They are the most realistic portrayal of the modern economy.

"It seems very reasonable." Fusu tilted his head and muttered to himself thoughtfully, but he didn't know where the reason was.

Ying Zheng was confused. This theory was too profound. He couldn't understand it for a while. Especially what kind of hype, panic, low price, high price, sell-off, etc. was too new and strange. Can wealthy businessmen also operate in this way?
