Chapter 826 Surrounding and beating Kou Zhun
After a brief hustle and bustle, the Ye Mansion restored peace. It seemed that the three thousand people had never appeared before.
Ye Hua still smiled and leaned leaning against the Taishi chair in the most comfortable position.
"Just just Li Changling, don't you have more people to use under your command?"
Kou Zhun stood up and listened to his master's words and teasing, and hurriedly said, "Master is above. Even if the disciple has great courage, he dare not be disrespectful to his master, and he dare not instigate the thief and frame the master!"
Ye Hua nodded, "I still believe in you, but if you say that Li Changling came to arrest me, it has nothing to do with you, so I won't believe in this teacher... It's nothing else. For my disciple, you won't be so obscene, right?"
Kou Zhun waved his hand in a hurry, "Master, in fact, Li Changling's arrival was agreed by his disciples. In fact, the disciples knew what he did over the years."
Ye Hua smiled and nodded, "It's pretty good, why are you ignoring it?"
"This... Master, my disciple is brave enough to imitate Master!"
Ye Hua suddenly laughed loudly, he got up and walked twice, then came to Kou Zhun's back and patted him on the shoulder. Kou Zhun subconsciously shivered, and then quickly straightened his back.
Ye Hua said quietly: "You are fishing for big fish with a long line, using Li Changling as a scapegoat. Add all the infamous reputation to his head."
"Master, I think it's not considered a false accusation of him. Li Changling, a thief, is indeed inappropriate. He is afraid that the world will not be in chaos and end up in this situation. He is the one who blames him for it, and no one else's fault!" Kou Zhun said again: "Master, I don't just want to do Li Changling for him."
Kou Zhun paused for a moment and lamented: "Master, my disciple has been thinking hard for many years but can't find a long-term solution to resolve the crisis."
Kou Zhun expressed his confusion... Since the rapid development of industry and commerce, capital has begun to dominate people's behavior, running workshops and building factories are all for profits.
Moreover, people have tried every means to make every effort to improve management level and speed up efficiency.
For money, I work hard to produce.
Therefore, there are many commodities on the market, and they are extremely rich... At this time, a problem arises. Everyone is busy producing them, but who should they sell the products they produce?
How can you make a profit if you can’t sell the goods?
Why do you still have to work hard without profit?
This is a dead knot that cannot be solved. In the era of capital, only the production problem is solved, but the distribution problem is not solved. Therefore, the economic crisis is almost inevitable. Every time a period of development, problems will arise. Repeat the cycle forever...
There is also a way to solve the problem of insufficient demand.
For example, when developing overseas markets and having outsiders consume excess products, it will naturally alleviate the crisis. If the overseas market is large enough, it can even bring about unprecedented prosperity.
The second trick is to improve the technical level. For example, the emergence of steam engines. As a new revolutionary technology, merchants invested heavily, which also led to a brief prosperity.
The third move is to invest the court to create strong demand, such as building railways, building ports, and promoting large-scale projects.
The fourth move is to move towards financialization like the Great Zhou, relying on playing money games, encouraging credit, creating huge demands, no longer making profits with commodities, but making money with money!
...
The first move is that with the establishment of overseas territories, the method of expanding the market is ineffective; finding new revolutionary technologies cannot be completed in a day or two, and renewals are also costly, and not everyone is willing to do so. The third move is that the court's investment will become unable to move due to financial problems.
As for the fourth move, it is equivalent to giving up its own commodity production capacity and allowing all people, like the court, to rely on borrowing and maintain sufficient demand.
To put it bluntly, the fourth move and the third move have the same effect, both of which are overdrawing future wealth. Of course, the imperial court led the way and invested in some major projects can still make a profit, and will even have good returns.
But encouraging finance and encouraging the people to take debt is not a fun thing. One day, all your advantages will be consumed and people's strength will be overdrawn.
"Disciples also know that there will be danger, but they didn't expect that they would end up so quickly!"
Kou Zhun sighed: "There is no way, and the disciples can only take risks. Since they can't maintain it, get rid of some wealthy merchants, use their blood to fill the holes. Kill them, and the opportunity to be vacant is just right for young people, new factories, and new technologies. When they develop, the crisis will be temporarily resolved!"
Kou Zhun said a lot, and it was a bit complicated, but the truth was not difficult to understand and could be compared with land annexation in the agricultural era.
Throughout the dynasties, people have strongly advocated suppressing annexation, but in the end, the land still flowed to the hands of a few people. When the land was concentrated to a certain level, most people could not produce it.
The peasant uprising broke out. After decades of bloody battles, the original landlords were overthrown and a new group of landlords appeared again... The so-called three hundred years of reincarnation began again.
The situation in front of you is so similar.
Financialization cannot be stopped, so I let some wealthy merchants make trouble and let them make trouble. When they make the stock market collapse, the sky is angry and people are resentful. At this time, they take action and destroy them. Use their heads to resolve the dissatisfaction of the people, use their wealth to fill in the deficit, and start a cycle again...
This guy Kou Zhun is not only brave, but also dangerous enough!
Of course, if you want to accomplish this, it is impossible to have no support, especially for your mentor Ye Hua. As long as the teacher can nod, he will be half successful.
"Li Changling, and those rich and bankers involved, you can deal with them at will. I have no objection... It's just a problem with overseas territories. After all, the army has already started, and it is not so easy to calm down."
Ye Hua picked up a teacup, the best official kiln porcelain, which was very exquisite.
Ye Hua gently touched the sandalwood table and touched it three times in a row. His strength was extremely small, but the teacup cracked a pattern and then broke it in half!
Ye Hua stared at the broken stubble and sighed softly: "I fell yesterday. Although it didn't seem to be broken, it was broken inside and could not withstand the bumps... I don't want the world to fall apart, do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Kou Zhun replied in a low voice, sweat was soaked in his forehead... He once thought that he had been prime minister for many years and could compete with the power of his teacher, but when he really faced Ye Hua, he woke up. The gap between people was sometimes stronger than that between people and animals.
Ye Hua's light words fell on him, as heavy as Mount Tai!
This matter is not easy to deal with!
Kou Zhun knew that when he dealt with Li Changling and those bankers, he would give the people an explanation at most, but the root of the problem was not resolved... The crisis would still occur, and the conflict between overseas territories and local areas was still there.
When he met his master, he hoped that Ye Hua would come forward and suppress the sounds of overseas territories, so as to eliminate the rebellion without bloodshed.
Unexpectedly, Ye Hua not only did not agree, but returned the ball to him!
How to solve the problem of overseas territories?
Kou Zhun was in a state of confusion. He shook his head and came out of Ye Hua's study. He happened to see Ye Xi when Kou Zhun stepped forward, "Senior brother, I'm polite."
Ye Xi sideways, he did not accept his gift, but just sneered slightly, "The Prime Minister is good at making a move. You obviously encouraged and instructed me, but now he has put all the blame on Li Changling and asked him to bear it for you! My father is old and doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as his younger generation, but I am different!"
Ye Xi changed her gentle attitude, her voice was cold and her attitude was tough.
"Prime Minister, you mobilized three thousand people to surround my home and wanted to arrest my father. This account cannot be settled!" Ye Xi was angry, "I want the Prime Minister to give me an explanation!"
Kou Zhun nodded. He had already confessed to his master, so there was no need to pretend to be garlic in front of his senior brother.
"I have taken down Li Changling and am still preparing to punish the people behind him. If my senior brother thinks it is not enough, I can still give him heavy hands!"
"High hand? How heavy can it be?"
Ye Xi said contemptuously: "Prime Minister, things have come to this point. Shouldn't you take responsibility for the failure of the rule over the years?"
Kou Zhun's eyes widened in an instant, then chuckled again, "Does the senior brother want to replace his position? Forget it, as long as the senior brother speaks, you can take it as the Prime Minister at will!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed and said, "No one cares about the position of the prime minister!"
Two people came side by side from outside, Wei Xianmei and Lu Duan.
They appeared in the Ye Mansion on behalf of the East and West Courts!
Wei Xianmei took the lead and said loudly: "King Kou, over the years, you have abused power, formed cliques and private affairs, corrupted the court's laws, and made parliament aggrieved... I think we must re-examine the power of the cabinet and the two houses!"
Lu Duan coughed lightly and said, "Prime Minister, it's up to me to cause trouble for you. It's really someone who held an extraordinary meeting to overthrow the two houses. This matter cannot be explained without explanation!"
At this moment, the two prime ministers, Lu Mengzheng and Wang Dan, also appeared.
What is even more surprising is that Yang Ye and Zhao Er, who were supposed to be among the rebels, also appeared... It was interesting now. Everyone gathered together, and everyone's eyes fell on Kou Zhun, which made the Prime Minister feel uncomfortable.
