Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 127: : Take 1 against 3
After touching the blue sky, Liu Zehui went back and thought about it for a long time. He actually felt that what his son said made sense.
In the evening, Liu Zehui found Li Zhen: "Dean Li, I would like to ask your opinion?"
Li Zhen laughed and said only four words: "The people are rich and the country is strong."
"The people come first, and the country comes after?" Liu Zehui was a little surprised.
"Yes, the people come first, and the country comes after. So the people are rich and the country is strong. I have traveled to many places and investigated the economic conditions of many places. I found such an interesting phenomenon."
"I also ask Dean Li to give me some advice." Liu Zehui said sincerely.
Li Zhen said frankly: "In the entire Kyushu, all cities can be summarized into two phenomena. The first phenomenon is that the government has money, but the common people have no money. The second situation is that the government has no money, But ordinary people have money. I say it is only a relative phenomenon.”
Liu Zehui subconsciously pricked up his ears: "Yes, there is such a phenomenon. But it is actually hard for me to figure out what is the difference and where is the difference? I think the difference is not just on the surface, right? , isn’t it just the difference between poor and rich people?”
"More than that."
Li Zhen stood up and said: "Where the common people have no money, on the whole, there is no life in that place."
"Angry?"
"It means vitality."
"I... can't understand the meaning of this."
Li Zhen said: "Where the people are poor, the government has money. The city has money, but all of this has no sense of substitution for the people. No matter how rich the city is, it has nothing to do with them. So I think, just I think, in this kind of Under such circumstances, according to the science of probability, the local people will have a mentality of abandoning themselves. They will feel that everyone has no money, so I don’t care if I have money. Personally, this kind of psychology will make a person have no drive , there is no motivation to climb up. But after being summarized as a whole, this phenomenon will cause the entire city to have no vitality and no motivation to develop. On the whole, the city has no...no energy."
Liu Zehui's statement was not obvious, she just nodded: "It makes sense."
Li Zhen said again: "Let's look at another example. The government is poor, but the people are rich. Do you know what probability will happen if the people are rich?"
"What probability?"
"On the basis of being rich, there will be more merchants and more businessmen."
"What does it matter? Different cities have different styles."
"It must be counted. There are many merchants, and it will have a great impact on this city."
"What impact?"
"The first one is the overall comparison. Everyone has money, so they want to compare who is richer. This businessman spends 10,000 coins to buy a vanity today, and tomorrow another businessman will spend 20,000 coins to buy a vanity." Buying. It is to be richer than anyone else. And the more merchants there are, the more this phenomenon will be.”
Liu Zehui smiled wryly and said: "This kind of behavior is not good. Comparison, vanity, and greed have long been said by liberal arts scholars to be the greatest evils of human beings."
"Comparison, vanity, and greed. These are the three major drawbacks of human nature. However, they are also the root of human progress. You can imagine, if human beings do not have the heart of comparison and greed. Any ambition. So what is the current status of society? The whole society is lifeless, no one wants to work, no one wants to make progress. The country will not want to make progress. .Who wants to pursue a higher level?"
After Li Zhen finished speaking, Liu Zehui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He suddenly discovered something that had a huge conflict with his own world view-human nature.
There are philosophers who educate the whole world that human beings should be kind, true, kind and beautiful. Human beings can't have the heart of comparison, and can't be greedy. Educate the world every day.
This is the style of the whole country, and the same is true of teachers teaching students: don't compare each other. Comparisons are wrong.
This is actually a negative in disguise.
In fact, there is no market for such negativity, because it goes against human nature.
Liu Zehui suddenly felt that the previous arguments seemed wrong.
He woke up, he could imagine. If human beings do not have greed and comparison. So from a personal point of view, it is a kind of failure. I see you well, I am not envious, and I don't care. What should I do, what should I do? So this person, will he become a passive slob?
If the whole country is like this, will the country as a whole become a "tribe" that does not seek to make progress.
Li Zhen said again: "People should have a wolfish nature. This is what I want to tell you about the prosperity of the people and the strength of the country. There is a misunderstanding. When I say that the government is not rich, it is relative. It is based on a proportion. In fact, no matter how poor the government is in a place where the people are rich, it is definitely far more than those areas where the government is rich and the people are not rich. .”
"Why?"
"Because there are more rich people, he will spend money. Once he spends money, there will be consumption and taxation. This is called urban gross product. Where does the money spent by the people go? Ultimately It was returned to the government. Businessmen who want to do business, and do big business, will understand an iron truth."
"What's the point?"
"Before doing business and investing, big businessmen never think about how much money I can earn from this project."
Liu Zehui choked on the saliva: "They don't want to make much money, so what kind of business do they have?"
"This is your thinking and the thinking of most people. In fact, the first thought of people who really do big business is: what benefits will I bring to others by doing this. "
"That's not right. People say that there is no evil and no business. Businessmen always think of their own interests first, why would they think of others first?"
"Because big businessmen understand a truth, called win-win, mutual benefit and reciprocity. Before doing something, you must first think clearly about what benefits and benefits it will bring to others, the country, and the people of Kyushu. You can do big things only if you have tangible benefits. There are no fools in this world, and no one will support you when you win alone and everyone loses. The most harmonious way to get along is to win together. Everyone It is beneficial. So big businessmen will ingrain this kind of thinking deeply~IndoMTL.com~ Let me give you an example. You should know about Liu Jianye. He spends a lot of money to train and support scientists. He is for those who engage in science What did you bring?"
Liu Zehui knew about Liu Jianye's establishment of a scientific research base, and immediately said: "Those scientists can get extremely high salaries and glory."
"This is what Liu Jianye did for those scientists. Then let me ask you again, if Liu Jianye succeeds, what benefits will he bring to this society?"
Liu Zehui thought for a while, and said: "If he keeps improving the steam engine, he will at least solve the traffic problem for this society. He will spread his steam engine to every corner of Kyushu. If he Follow the prince's suggestion to reduce the price, then at least he can help Kyushu's industry and commerce to become extremely developed, because after the steam car is cheap, everyone can afford it. This is his contribution to society."
"Okay, the above two points are known. Let me ask you again, what benefits will society bring to Liu Jianye?"
Liu Zehui was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly surprised: "He... If the steam car industry matures, he will become the leader in the steam car industry and almost monopolize the market. At the same time, he has that group of scientists, owns Advanced technology can be continuously improved. From then on, he can completely dominate the family. The income he brings from selling cars alone can at least exceed the benefits of his current monopoly on the transportation industry!"
Li Zhen nodded: "This is the truth between being poor and being rich."
Liu Zehui took a deep breath, her heart was shocked.
Talking with Li Zhen completely refreshed Liu Zehui's three views.
He is not stupid, but he can draw inferences from one instance.
