Seeing that Wang Anshi was skeptical, Du Zhongxiao said, "The He Da you asked about, something happened a few days ago. The staff member who used to be a farmer took the job of raising ducks and selling eggs from the mall, and collected miscellaneous items collected by small businessmen nearby. The staff member of the family was worried that He Da left their house and took the shopkeeper away. He bullied He Da and wanted to take He Da's business."

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It happened that Zhu Jing knew about it. She was not angry that He Da was bullied by the big family and asked about it. Only then did he seize the qualification of the big family to do this business and Guangli Village Club."

Wang Anshi bowed: "Asan's wife is kind-hearted and a person who cannot bear to see the poor suffer."

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "This is nothing. Before establishing a village community, I asked the county magistrate to investigate the self-operated land affairs and do various business in the county. Anyone with little assets and who has middle-class households was originally a big household in the past. Although the land affairs gave the people nearby countless opportunities, no lower-class household used to turn over and become the upper-class household. It was at that time that I realized that what I thought before might be bad."

"Although over the past few decades, poor people will become rich and rich, the number is not large. The people of this dynasty are different from the previous dynasty. They are suddenly poor and rich, and often lament that the world is impermanent. The reason for this is that the court's taxes are on middle and upper-class households. Once they cannot make money, tax collection will soon be eliminated. However, when industry and commerce become more and more likely to avoid such tax collection, it will be impossible to compare with the past."

"To give the simplest example, take Kaifeng Prefecture to Xiangzhou as an example. When business development, the railway between the two places is crucial. If several large households control the railway, they can become rich as long as the people transported from the railway and goods are taxed. And if they control this key, if there is no government participation, they can control the business of the two places as long as they do some business in the two places. Such a business can make sure to make profits and pass on their children to their grandchildren, and become another form of feudal lord. If the government does not take action to rectify the world, for decades, industries like this that can pass on their children to their grandchildren and directly affect the flow of wealth will be controlled by forces of all sizes. Common speakers are not feudal, while officials have feudalism, and local power is already feudal. Coupled with the wealth passed down from generation to generation, the world's industry and commerce will be divided, and the rest is just soup."

The process is of course more complicated, but the general principle is this. During free trade, the capital developed first will gather in transportation and trade, gradually forming a group and monopoly on the circulation industry. The capital of the circulation industry is combined with industrial capital, integrating resources, and forming monopoly capital that integrates several industries. Strong monopoly capital will squeeze out the profits of the entire industry and commerce, and except for low risks, it will form large capital passed down from generation to generation, thus emerging new aristocrats passed down from generation to generation in the capital era. Entering the financial era, it will become a combination of financial capital and industrial capital, and several large families control the lifeblood of the economy. For example, in the feudal era of Europe, each aristocrat in the economic field has drawn territory and formed one force after another.

Du Zhongxiao asked the county magistrate Lou to investigate and found that the field affairs were busy for more than a year, and the middle and upper-class households in the county were still the same as the original ones, so he discovered this problem. Small places are not large in scale, and a large household occupy an industry, basically forming a monopoly, and other families have no opportunities for competition. Ordinary people cannot compete. Occasionally, if there are very hardworking and capable people, they will sooner or later take away their chances of making money by the big ones.

This is the reason why Guangli Village Community is not allowed to drink the soup of industrial and commercial development if they don’t do this.

As long as the economy develops, this accumulation effect is inevitable. Since it is the capital era, the distribution of social wealth is determined by capital, and capital will gather at some critical nodes. From transportation, ports, shops, to the financial field of the financial era, it will hold the most critical place. Just like the fiefdoms of the nobles occupying the richest land in the world, as long as it is still an agricultural economy, their status will be unshakable. The faster the economic development, the faster the capital will gather, and each occupy one party, and most of the social wealth will be in their hands.

The process that Du Zhongxiao is most familiar with is housing prices. When the society is booming, houses are really for living, and housing prices are not high. To a certain extent, large capital has been formed in the country, and small capital has also formed in the local area, housing prices have been raised rapidly. In this process, most people in the society have been eaten up by housing prices, and some people have been burdened with decades of debt.

After working hard for decades, I became a person who owed huge debts because I changed my house. Where did the money go? Of course, if there is a house, debt is not a debt. As long as the house is sold, the money will come back. Is this possible?

Of course it is impossible. During the process of rising housing prices, a large amount of money is drawn away by the intermediate link. To reverse this process, if there are houses, sell the house and replace it with money. The money drawn from the intermediate link will not come back, and the house price can only fall. How much money is pulled out? How much money is drawn during the process of rising housing prices? At least this value must be dropped out, and then the money drawn out again in the intermediate link during the decline process must be dropped out.

During this rise and fall, the distribution pattern of social wealth changes, and a large number of capital that controls the intermediate links can be gathered. This can be personal capital or state capital, and it eventually turns from personal wealth to capital.

Not only houses can be operated in this way, but many industries can do this. Capital that holds on certain key links or directly controls the rise and fall of a place will continue to gain additional wealth from the rise and fall, extract it from consolidating one's own position, and eventually form a giant and a feudal aristocrat in the new era. Peace in the world is basically the consolidation of new feudal lords of all sizes and sizes in the economic field.

Du Zhongxiao worked hard to build a land business, an railway supervision, and a shopping mall, not to invite rural landlords to the city and then become the best. This is another role of official business, such as the Central Army of the feudal era, which can reduce the vassal states at any time.

When Wang Anshi heard Du Zhongxiao talk about the prospects of economic development, he thought it was a day and night talk. This kind of thing has never happened before. Will it happen? When Du Zhongxiao talked about the reduction of the vassal states, his eyes lit up. This is a politics he is familiar with.

Du Zhongxiao said: "I have heard people say that the most important thing in governing the world is two things. Comparing the wealth of the world to a big cake, one is to make big cakes, and the other is to divide big cakes. Now we are making big cakes, and everyone is happy, and it seems that there is nothing wrong in the world. When this big cake is difficult to make big, we can only divide the cakes. Those who do business, work, and farm, those rich and powerful forces always want to eat more, and other ordinary people get less and less, and in the end they don't eat, and the world is turbulent. Jie Fu often said that to save the rich and help the poor in the world, it is actually to seize food from the mouths of the powerful and let the people get more. Is it easy to do this? It is very difficult. People in power are also people of the court, and rob food from their mouths is also a deed of harming the people. If one is not good, the people are angry and the officials are resentful. If things cannot be done, they cannot get it."

"At this time, the official railway supervision, field affairs, shopping malls under Changping, and the government's government's various industries are equipped with agriculture, industry and commerce. In addition, the railways and canals are all in the hands of the government, so they can directly smash the table and start everything again. Just like the feudal threatening the court, then the vassals will be reduced. Without these official industries, it would be like having no army in hand, and it would be impossible to cut the vassals. If you want to cut the vassals, you would not be able to borrow troops from other vassal kings."

The shopping mall is like a battlefield. If the official wants to break the economic feudal pattern formed, he must have his own army. In the era of agricultural economy, the vast number of small self-cultivated farmers are the economic and military forces in the hands of the court. In the era of industrial age, it will be replaced by official industry and commerce.

Now, several large economies run by the government are constantly releasing benefits to the outside world. Typical examples are Iron Supervision, not only workers working inside, but also various small economies separated from it, constantly developing. When external monopoly is formed, the official power will be used to destroy the monopoly industries one by one, and the benefits will be released again. At this time, both efficiency and fairness will be lost, and it is impossible to care about it.

Du Zhongxiao told Wang Anshi about this because he remembered that most of the reforms in his history were re-dividing the cake. He took the people's wealth into officials and was used by the court, and he opposed countless times, and the sequelae were really unsupported. If he did not divide the cake again, he would directly smash the monopoly of the people and start over again, and he would be much more peaceful.

Wang Anshi is not afraid of offending others, but he is not afraid of this life. This life is the most suitable for him. Du Zhongxiao is not afraid of bad reputation. He is really happy when he develops. When smashing dishes, he will inevitably be negative everywhere, so he should avoid it.
