Chapter 181 Ye Xuan’s strategy! Use economic warfare to balance Goryeo!
There is a pot of charcoal fire in the imperial study room.
The charcoal fire inside burned red and made crackling sounds from time to time.
Tiny sparks flew everywhere.
The brazier is placed on the stone tile floor next to the desk, exuding warmth and dispelling the spring cold in this small space.
Ye Xuan's left hand is wrapped around his abdomen and supporting his right elbow.
His right hand was slightly clenched and placed against his chin.
Pretend to be thinking.
"How to accelerate colonial rule and Ming Dynasty's process of becoming an empire on which the sun never sets without using a single soldier?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Xuan, who looked thoughtful, and thought:
Is this question too difficult?
Could it be that even Ye Xuan can't handle it?
"Are our expectations too high for this boy?"
"No one is perfect."
"This kid knows how to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous and powerful and become the center of the world. It is already extremely difficult. It is normal that he does not know how to speed up colonial rule and make the Ming Dynasty an empire on which the sun never sets."
"After all, this kid is also a human being."
"Of course there is a way."
At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said.
Zhu Yuanzhang:??
I've been thinking about how to help you kid out.
But you told me there was a way?
"What's the solution?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked, looking calm and calm.
Ye Xuan answered:17
"The solution I thought of is -"
"Fighting economic war.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed confusion and he stroked his beard.
economy.
war?
“What is economic war?”
"Your Majesty, we want to engage in economic war."
“We first need to know what economics is.
“Economy is the general term for people’s production, circulation, distribution and consumption of all material and spiritual materials.”
"On a microscopic level."
"Refers to the property management of a household."
"Look at the big picture."
” refers to a country’s national economy.
"In this dynamic whole, production is the foundation and consumption is the end point."
Ye Xuan said.
Zhu Yuanzhang:…………
His face twitched secretly.
Although he could half understand what Ye Xuan said before, he really couldn't understand it now.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, put his fist to his lips, and pretended to cough in order to relieve the embarrassment.
"Love you."
"Please explain it to us more simply and clearly."
"Don't use so many new words."
Ye Xuan Congshan Ruliu explained to Zhu Yuanzhang in simple terms.
“Economy literally means ‘managing the world and benefiting the people’.
"'Jingshi' means to manage a world and a country."
"'Benefiting the people', to put it simply, means to make the people of the world live a good life.
“According to these understandings, ‘economy’ means running the country so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can live a good life.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized.
It turns out that this is what economics means.
“What about economic war?”
"What is this?"
"Economic war refers to military actions and economic sanctions taken by a country or region to achieve certain economic goals and obtain certain economic benefits."
"To put it simply, it is to take military action and economic sanctions in order to make money."
"Your Majesty, what you want is to achieve subjugation without fighting through military warfare."
"Then, we can use 'economic sanctions' to attack the other party."
"Such as imposing a trade embargo, interrupting economic cooperation, cutting off technical assistance or the economy, etc."
"This is the means of 'economic sanctions'."
Zhu Yuanzhang:!!!!!!
Zhu Yuanzhang:??????
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he understood but failed to understand.
Ye Xuan felt that he talked too much.
Today's Ming Dynasty does not have such close trade relations with other countries.
Trade embargo, interruption of economic cooperation, cutting off technical assistance and economy, etc.
Most of these methods are used in the modern environment, where trade between countries is close.
That’s why economic sanctions emerged.
but.
It can be used as well.
One method works for all.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Ye Xuan for a long time.
Somewhat confused.
This means "economic sanctions".
Trade embargo, interruption of economic cooperation, cutting off technical assistance and economy, etc.
How to use these?
"So, how to fight economic war?"
"My dear, how about a simple example?"
".........."
Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, do you know Guan Zhong?"
Finally said what I understand!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows showed a trace of joy, and his waist straightened.
"That's natural."
"Guan Zhong was a famous person in the Spring and Autumn Period."
"Known as the 'Master of the Saint'."
“Even Duke Huan of Qi, the emperor of Qi at that time, called him ‘Father Zhong’!”
"He was recommended by Bao Shuya as the prime minister of Qi."
"Initiate reforms, appoint talents, and rectify the internal affairs."
"Make Qi rich and powerful, and make it a strong country."
"Guan Zhong can be said to be 'one figure through the ages'."
"Does the Emperor know about the economic war carried out by Guan Zhong?"
Ye Xuan asked.
The pride on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared instantly.
Did Guan Zhong carry out economic war?
What's this?
He suspected that he and the Guan Zhong that Ye Xuan knew were not the same person or the same version.
"The Guan Zhong you are talking about is Guan Zhong, the prime minister of Qi during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods?"
"The one Bao Shuya recommended to Duke Huan of Qi?"
Zhu Yuanzhang confirmed.
He almost lost his confidence.
Ye Xuan slanders.
Besides this Guan Zhong, which other Guan Zhong is there?
"Exactly."
"Guan Zhong is the originator of world economic warfare."
"The economic warfare he has carried out is popular among people.
"Achieving the goal of defeating others without fighting."
"Your Majesty, let me tell you about the economic warfare waged by Guan Zhong. As long as you listen, you will understand how to fight economic warfare.
"Once upon a time, Qi had a neighboring country called Lu."
"The two countries have been secretly competing with each other."
"I want to overwhelm the opponent."
"However, the development of both countries in all aspects is 107 incompatible with each other, and the most important thing is that the economic exchanges between the two countries are very close."
"The State of Lu produces a kind of fine white silk cloth called 'Lu Si'."
"Famous for being thin."
"Guan Zhong, who was the prime minister of Qi State, came up with the idea of 'Lu Can' in order to deal with Lu State."
"He first suggested to Qi Huangong and other ministers to take the lead in wearing clothes made of Lu Guan."
"Then the state of Qi set off a trend of being proud of Lu Zhen."
"Right after."
"He also issued an order prohibiting people in Qi from weaving silk silk.
"All fabrics are imported from Lu."
"As a result, the supply of silk began to exceed demand."
"Prices are rising rapidly."
"When the people of the State of Lu see weaving silk, it will be profitable."
"They abandoned their farming and mulberry fields one after another and joined Zhi Zhi's army.
"Guan Zhong has fallen into the trap when he sees Lu."
"He's going to take another strong dose."
"Bring this to a climax."
"Guan Zhong issued an order."
"Any Lu merchant who sells Lu silk will be rewarded."
"Selling a thousand pieces of silk, the reward is three hundred gold."
"Ten thousand horses, reward three thousand gold."
"Suddenly, the people of Lu State fell into madness."
Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully to Ye Xuan's story about economic war.
Ancient information was difficult to circulate.
Therefore, he had never heard of these deeds from more than two thousand years ago.
