Chapter 104: The people are too weak

The rulers are always testing the people's bottom line again and again.

As long as they succeed once, they will continue to pull the bottom line down once.

The more success you succeed, the more the rulers care about the voices of the people. In their opinion, these sounds can be distorted, adjusted, misunderstood, or even ignored.

This practice is also an old routine for politicians. If you don’t believe it, you will find that nothing in this world is new.

Yun Zhao was an uprisinger, but now he has become a ruler. Therefore, he does not lack the mentality of an uprisinger, nor does he lack the mentality of a ruler. That is, because he has experience, he can switch back and forth between these two mentalities and make himself like a pervert.

Helping the people become rich is not because Yun Zhao is kind-hearted, but to use this method to destroy the people's resistance.

When you have enough food, scolding those in power is just cursing. You will sleep when you should sleep and eat when you should eat without delaying anything.

If there is no food in your stomach, it will be terrible when you scold the people in power again. Can you explain the truth to someone who has no food?

Therefore, no matter what, we must ensure that the people can eat and wear warmth!

This is not kindness, it is necessary, the basis of a government's rule! and obligation.

Such a court is the most successful court to be able to package such obligations as the highest gift.

The Ming Dynasty is doing very well now.

Although farmers all over the world cursed that after collecting three or five dou of extra money in the fields, their income was not much, but there was no chaos in the public. Anyway, the price of grain is low, so you can choose not to sell it.

The highest requirement of the people of the Ming Dynasty was self-sufficiency.

The self-sufficient small peasant economy has ruled this land for thousands of years? Now? It is a good thing that the material is extremely abundant.

Anyway, are the food grown by yourself? Are the cloth weaved by yourself?                                                                                                                      

Is there any money or not? Is it not necessary for life? In the countryside? Barter is still popular.

The current difficulty is that there are too many people farming and too many grain output. And there are too few people who buy food if they don’t farm? When the number of these two types of people changes, the price of grain will naturally increase.

In other words, the total economic output of the Lantian Dynasty was too fucking small, so it could not even consume the excess food.

As a result, government officials in various places began a new round of tossing.

The goal of this trouble is - how to get capable people into the city.

Xu Yuanshou now has no favoritism for the city with thick smoke. He is looking at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to recite a poem? But he is so smoky that he coughs all the time. He wants to look up and see the big geese returning north to express his heart? But coal ash fell into his eyes, and after washing out the coal ash with tears in his tears? What else is there to express his heart?

So, what he likes to do now is to ride a carriage? Take seven or eight students? Go to the country road to run? The wheels are crushed on the soft grass, which makes him feel indescribable joy.

At noon, I leaned against an old willow tree and shook my palm-leaf fan to wait for the disciples to lay the blankets, prepare to drink some wine, eat some food, and then slept soundly in the spring breeze, then returned to the noisy place of Yushan Academy.

Not far from him, a peasant woman was litting a pile of wheat straw. After the flames were extinguished, the woman carefully swept away the ashes, revealing a large pottery jar.

After calling the young wife at home to help remove the pottery jar, Xu Yuanshou saw the golden steamed buns baked under the pottery jar.

This kind of steamed bun is completely different from the steamed buns in Yushan Academy. It is covered with oil and added fried flax seeds in the middle. Xu Yuanshou was sniffing, and the woman brought him two fragrant roasted steamed buns.

Xu Yuanshou picked up a hot steamed bun, blew the cold air and broke it open it, quickly threw a piece into his mouth, and then his face showed a happy expression of tasting food.

A little salt was added to the steamed bun, and after taking a bite of flax, the aroma of the grain was completely aroused, making Xu Yuanshou praise him.

Seeing that Xu Yuanshou liked it very much, the woman brought a plate of pickles and said, "Now people are scratching their mouths. The roasted buns are made by the young wife at home. They always don't farm well and always want to take this thing out for sale.

Sir, you are a great scholar in Guanzhong. Please help me see if this thing can be sold?"

Xu Yuanshou nodded and looked at the students he brought.

The students who were playing immediately went down honestly, sat around the husband one by one, and began to taste the baked steamed buns brought by the peasant woman. While tasting, they looked at the only complete baked steamed bun.

After these little guys gathered together and muttered, an oldest female disciple stood up and said.

"Sir, the steamed bun tastes good. There is no similar thing on the market in Chang'an. The steamed bun looks good, golden and golden, which makes people feel very appetizing.

According to general business rules, the disciples agreed that roasting this steamed bun should have a market in Chang'an and can be used as a craft to support their families."

Xu Yuanshou said lightly: "If I just used it to support my family, people wouldn't know? Since I asked me, this thing should be a craft that can make a fortune.

Think about it again.”

A male disciple who was only twelve or thirteen years old stood up and bowed: "Sir, I think that since it is food, it is nothing more than three advantages: color, fragrance and taste. Of course, if the gentleman is willing to come forward and write an article to tell everyone how good this steamed bun is, I believe that this steamed bun will definitely become popular.

However, most of the gentlemen refused to do this, so the disciples thought they had to work hard on the store.

First of all, we need to add fragrance to this kind of steamed bun. This thing has a good appearance, but the fragrance is insufficient and people passing by cannot stop.

2. The disciple thought that he had to put some effort into the shape. At present, although such a baked steamed bun looks good, it is only good.

Guanzhong people are simple and like everything to be affordable.

It is difficult to sell such a large steamed bun at a high price unless they can make the steamed bun bigger. I mean, it is made as big as a pottery jar, and then cut it and sell it, so that people will feel that they have taken advantage of it.

Third, the disciple suggests that the steamed buns are made into sweet and salty flavors, and adding some fruit candied fruits or even some honey to increase the fragrance. It is not impossible to exude the rich sweet aroma.

This was learned by the disciples from the bakery opened by the Sanders and his wife in Yushan. The fat European, who opened a shop, would open the door to spread the sweet aroma of baking bread, which made the disciples spend a lot of money.

Then there is the decoration of the store, which cannot be as dark as other stores. Then there is a counter that is one person tall. The shopkeeper is standing behind the counter like his parents who died, only knows how to collect money.

Use glass produced in Yushan to make a few low counters and find a few cleaner Ming women in the store. Don’t be too beautiful, you must look clean. Never dare to ask for those Western Regions women, nor do you want white Europeans. They have a strong smell or destroy the taste of roasted steamed buns.

Sir, what do you think?"

Xu Yuanshou was sitting opposite an old white-bearded farmer eating oil splash noodles that the peasant woman had just made. The slightly yellowed noodles were put into her mouth. When he heard his student howl, he couldn't help but tremble, and then said angrily: "You expect them to understand these things you designed?

If you do it, add the oil splash noodles... and add the stuffed skin... and add the cold noodles, and add the meat buns, and then add a pot of thick mutton soup.

Work hard, if a store can’t collect 100,000 silver dollars a year, you can keep the grade and study hard.”

The little woman looked at her husband in despair and said, "I won't stop."

Xu Yuanshou put down his bowl and wiped his mouth and said, "Only after selling it, the food grown by the farmers will not be wasted. Only after selling it can we prove that the disciples taught by my Yushan Academy are not cowardly.

After going back, I went to the accountant to get 10,000 silver dollars. This is your capital. It was your borrowed. If you don’t get 100,000 silver dollars by the end of the year, it’s not as simple as just a retention level. When will you pay back the 100,000 silver dollars, and when will you upgrade to continue studying?"

After saying that, he didn't look at the pale face of his student, picked up a bowl of thick wine and touched the old farmer opposite him, drank it dry in one gulp, and then chanted with satisfaction: "The east wind blows through the green mountains, but I look at the wild grass in thousands of doors. When will the home come in my dream? How many people will be on the river? The river is lingering outside the floating clouds, and the palaces are illuminated by the uneven palaces. Who thinks that a scholar is difficult to meet the world, and the only one will be visiting Qinguan.

Haha, I like this peaceful year the most.”

After eating and drinking, Xu Yuanshou was riding in a light carriage along the ancient road with lush spring grass, drunkenly embarked on the road back to Yushan.

In fact, Xu Yuanshou didn’t care much about whether each household could sell the grain. What he cared about was that the knowledge of Yushan Academy must be practical!

The best talents in the Ming Dynasty were basically in Yushan Academy, and what was left to the poor farmers were mediocre talents who were unbearable to teach.

During the war, a commander with both wisdom and courage is very important. The same is true for doing business. The business school of Yushan Academy is already full of various professionals who do business.

Unlike other colleges of Yushan Academy, business schools are all damn businessmen!

Only those damn merchants will send their best children to the business school to study. After these people graduate, the business environment of the entire Ming Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes.

If the merchants in the past were just hungry wolves that devoured money.

Now, these guys who have already walked out of business school and are about to walk out of business school are undoubtedly tigers with bloody mouths!
