Chapter 425 The Breath of War
(After the anti-theft, the daily subscription is doubled. The anti-theft will last for a while.)
When Yang Zhong came to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xianzheng, Ye Kun, Ling Zhifeng and others were discussing the planning of cities, transportation, and water conservancy across the country.
The planning of a country is not that simple, especially in this immortal world of practice. In addition to taking care of economic and other material development, it is also necessary to take care of luck, earth qi, feng shui, and it is best to take care of the stars in the sky.
A country can also be regarded as a "practice of luck".
After seeing Li Xian, Yang Zhong didn't beat around the bush, and directly expressed his worries.
After listening to Yang Zhong's worries and Li Yulong's concern, Li Xian smiled happily, "Uncle Yang, there is no need to worry about it at all. We have already purchased the red copper mine in Cai Guo. In ten days at most, we will The first batch of red copper will be sold publicly. Money will naturally not be a problem at that time.
And now the development of the Kingdom of Shang is a 'capital society'. In such a society, as long as the funds are sufficient, many things can be done. For example, make a bold move forward.
This is where the superiority of capitalism lies. We can do too many things through the power of wealth. "
"Then what are the shortcomings of capitalism?" Yang Zhong is now the left prime minister of Tang, and he immediately noticed the problem in Li Xian's words.
"Shortcomings..." Li Xian clicked his tongue, "It's not clear yet, maybe it will take a while to develop. In short, everything in the world has yin and yang, there are huge benefits, and there are bound to be huge disadvantages. But now , I still can’t see where the disadvantages lie.”
"You really don't know?" Yang Zhong looked at Li Xian, puzzled. Your expression and words just now show that you know, at least part of it.
Li Xian smiled and stopped explaining. There are at least two hazards of capitalism - monopoly and economic crisis. But in Anyang now, it is too early to mention these two points, and Li Xian has already started preparations. And now, there is no need to say it, because no one else will understand it.
Some things, such as the economic crisis, if you don’t experience it once, you don’t know what an economic crisis is. People in the agricultural age would be delighted if you told them about excess productivity—a good thing! They will tell you the truth of "surplus every year".
Yang Zhong glanced at Li Xian, and smiled: "Okay, the young master doesn't want to talk about it. Then tell me, is the current Tang State suitable for capitalist transformation?"
"Suitable!" Li Xian is sure, "Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, and the old vested interests and stubborn classes have not yet formed, it is the best opportunity to carry out capitalist transformation.
In fact, all countries in Yingzhou are suitable, but we must pay attention to the method. "
"Then capitalism, will it have an impact on centralization?"
But Li Xian asked back: "Uncle Yang, if you wear different clothes, will it have a serious impact on you?"
Yang Zhong laughed immediately when he heard the words, "No!"
"Yes, although there are differences between different systems, all the systems themselves serve 'government'. There has never been a system, a system at the national level, that serves the people. This is the essence of rule.
Serving the people comes from the idea of the ruling class, not the rule itself.
It is also an imperial system, some empires are in dire straits, while others are peaceful. The same is true of the capitalist system, it is just a system, and the right to use it is still in the hands of the ruler.
Regardless of the system, it is always the ruler who is used. It is always people, not institutions, who exercise power.
Of course, different systems also have their own 'character' and 'temper'. If a ruler wants to control such a system, he must understand it.
The character of the capitalist system is the 'gold standard'. Everything revolves around wealth.
Therefore, under the capitalist system, as long as the funds are sufficient, the country can do a lot of things; if the funds are insufficient, the country will face danger. Wealth is the blood of capital! "
"I understand." Yang Zhong nodded, and suddenly smiled again: "Xiaoxian, your father's birthday is about to come, what gift did you prepare for this year?"
"Gifts of goose feathers from thousands of miles away are less desirable, I'm going to..."
"The distance between Anyang City and Luquan Mansion is less than 100 kilometers."
"Then I'll give you ten goose feathers!" What Li Xian said was a righteous one!
"You... okay, I'm waiting to harvest 10 goose feathers this year. You are a virtuous king, you must keep your word!" Yang Zhong narrowed his eyes and left.
Li Xian opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that he was really no match for these old foxes.
But it doesn't matter, Li Xian has a way! After turning around, Li Xian found Li Yuanming, "Li Yuanming, go to the Mercenary Association to issue a task, ten red-crowned crane feathers must be above the stage of transformation."
"Master, the red-crowned crane has no feathers on its head." Li Yuanming worked hard, hard, and hard to suppress the urge to laugh.
Li Xian was speechless in embarrassment, too impulsive, impulsive is the devil. "What kind of bird has feathers on its head. My father's birthday is less than a month away. This time I'm going to give ten feathers to cranes."
Li Yuanming thought for a while, "I know there is a kind called 'Bi Fang', which has feathers on the top of its head. Bi Fang is a crane-shaped, ancient beast. It has one foot, red veins and green texture, and a white beak. The five elements belong to wood; the talent is to manipulate flames. It is said that the feathers on the top of the head are the essence of the whole body and have the ability to communicate with the gods.
Now in the monster clan, at most they can only find monsters with Bi Fang's bloodline. But Bi Fang is a divine beast after all, even if he has some blood, it will not be easy.
But this kind of monster itself is rare, and its feathers are the source of life, so it may not be easy to get ten feathers. "
"Is there anything else?"
Li Yuanming suppressed a smile, "As far as I know, the only crane-shaped monster is Bi Fang."
Li Xian snorted a few times, "Laugh if you want to laugh, post the task to me after laughing.
The price of the task is: one feather, 10 catties of black iron, three catties of red copper, and half a catty of fine gold. No mithril. All materials are more than 99.9% pure.
The task deadline is 20 days, and the task will be canceled after 20 days.
If it is completed within 20 days, the reward will be increased by 1% for each day in advance. "
Li Yuanming didn't laugh after all, Li Xian is the king after all, it's better not to laugh or not. When I get out of this door, I will laugh again.
In fact, there is one more thing that Li Yuanming didn't say, that is: Among the beasts recorded here in the human race, Bi Fang is the only one with feathers on the head and a crane-shaped monster, but the crane-shaped monster with Bi Fang's blood, But there are many!
As the saying goes, the dragon has nine sons, and there are many, many descendants of Bi Fang. How many are there? Anyway, Li Yuanming himself knows several kinds.
There are the noblest and rarest volcanic purple cranes, the holy golden-eyed white cranes that like to chase the sun and fly, and the most common 'Fire Black Crane' that likes to roll in flames, and even has part of the three-legged Golden Crow bloodline.
When Li Yuanming announced the task, he also made a distinction. For example, the plume of the volcanic purple crane is the most expensive, and a reward is offered at the full price given by Li Xian; the price of the golden-eyed white crane is a little lower; The Raging Fire Black Crane's level is too low and the color is not good, so don't be ashamed of it.
If there are other cranes with Bi Fang's blood, the price will be calculated according to the actual situation.
As soon as the task was released, many mercenary groups have received it, even... a special mercenary group under the Bailing Group has also received it. This mercenary group does not participate in the internal affairs of the human race, and is specifically responsible for the tasks of the monster race's territory.
…………
But Li Xian said that after Li Yuanming left, he would continue to discuss the plan of the "Shang Kingdom" with Ling Zhifeng, Ye Kun, and relevant officials.
But at this moment, several pieces of information rushed in. As a result, not long after Li Xian sat down, he jumped up again, and hurriedly summoned Xu Ren and others.
In less than a moment, Xu Ren, Yan Ze'an, Yuan Yong, Li Yuanming and others arrived one after another. Yan Ze'an was still wearing casual clothes, obviously ready to go shopping and see the current situation of Anyang City. At this moment, Yan Ze'an came to the City Lord's Mansion without even changing his clothes.
For Li Xian to take the initiative to issue an emergency notice, the matter must be no small matter. Therefore, Yan Ze'an is like this, and Xu Ren and others are also like this.
