Chapter 281 Apprenticeship
Jiang Xinghuo couldn't see the evil dragon in Daoyan's mind, he was still talking softly.
"In the world of "Time Planning Bureau", although the evil dragon's spell styles are ever-changing, to put it bluntly, they just evolved from two angles."
"The two perspectives are manufactured goods and purchasing power?" Dao Yan asked tentatively.
Jiang Xinghuo nodded.
Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh that it was really not easy to find a smart person who could keep up with his thinking in this era of Ming Dynasty.
In particular, the Prime Minister in Black is a heavyweight figure that cannot be avoided in this era.
Jiang Xinghuo already knew that Dao Yan proposed the "Eight Strategies for Reform", and also knew that Dao Yan was his pen pal who had been communicating with him.
Dao Yan seems to have an extraordinary interest in the evolution of the future world, or the evolution of civilization.
If he can win over Dao Yan by teaching him and solving his doubts, and win over Dao Yan to be on his side completely, instead of someone with other ambitions, then it will have great influence on his next move to reform the Ming Dynasty. helpful.
Of course Jiang Xinghuo wants to believe that Dao Yan is a pure idealist.
Judging from the history of previous lives, the other party seems to be indeed such a person. He assisted Zhu Di in Fengtian Jingnan just to use what he had learned in his life, not for fame or fortune.
In a sense, Jiang Xinghuo is very similar to Dao Yan.
But Jiang Xinghuo also has to have the most basic vigilance and temptation. After all, he is an experienced time traveler of several reincarnations. It is also very difficult to completely trust someone who has never met him on the first meeting. thing.
Jiang Xinghuo said calmly: "The first perspective is from the purchase demand for manufactured goods. If the time market can complete the purchase of all manufactured goods, there will be no time crisis."
Dao Yan carefully touched the connotation of this sentence.
As I have just said, the fundamental conflict between too many manufactured goods and insufficient purchasing power always exists.
So what spell does the evil dragon use to create new purchasing power in the time market out of thin air?
Seeing Dao Yan's thoughtful look, Jiang Xinghuo certainly would not underestimate the most elite wise man of this era and signaled him to share his understanding.
Dao Yan thought for a moment and said: "The evil dragon's spell to conjure purchasing power out of thin air should be Yin Chi Mao Liang."
“Advance future purchasing power to the present.”
Following this line of thinking, Dao Yan started to speak.
"Whether it is through Li Si actively issuing time loans to Zhang San, or Li Si passively accepting Zhang San's request, this can be achieved. If driven by the [invisible hand], the current time market will appear on a large scale. Under this situation, the current purchasing power will be enough to consume all the excess manufactured goods, and even continue to maintain prosperity.”
Jiang Xinghuo nodded, this was the evil dragon's most commonly used move.
Seeing that Dao Yan didn't think of anything else for a while, Jiang Xinghuo said again.
"In addition, if we can find other new opportunities to consume excess manufactured goods, we can make the excess manufactured goods no longer a threat, such as time markets in other regions, or disputes with other regions .”
"Of course." Jiang Xinghuo added: "It is best not to resolve this kind of dispute in person, but to give the different regions where the dispute occurred, and at the same time continuously export local excess finished products, so that the purchasing power of the local market will be insufficient. That’s it.”
Daoyan obviously understood this, just like if there was a fight between the local vassal state and the Muromachi shogunate in Japan in the future, the Ming Dynasty, which started the industrial revolution, could sell supplies to both sides at the same time. It is the same reason.
"So, what about the second angle?" Dao Yan's face no longer looked sick, but he was full of energy.
Sure enough, heart ailments require heart medicine. Jiang Xinghuo's arrival gave him relief for a moment, and Dao Yan's inner demons dissipated. This is a hundred times more effective than drinking decoction and medicine.
If Huikong saw it, he would probably break the precept of silent meditation again.
"The second angle." Jiang Xinghuo leaned lightly on the corner of the table and said, "Start from the competition in the supply of manufactured goods. The problem in the current local time market is that there is too much supply of manufactured goods, and the demand for manufactured goods But it is seriously insufficient. But the world is big enough. There is more than one time planning bureau and more than one time market. Other time markets can completely create new supply. Just let a massive amount of time come to the local time market. Rather than requiring massive amounts of foreign manufacturing.”
At this point, Jiang Xinghuo stopped and spoke word for word.
"I don't know if you can understand it. In fact, it is not the demand that creates the supply, but the supply that creates the demand. However, the supply here is not the supply of manufactured goods, but the supply of time."
Jiang Xinghuo looked at Dao Yan, wondering if he could understand.
The operating logic here is, in a sense, the same as debt equals assets.
Supply and demand are two sides of the same coin.
After a slight detour, Daoyan's white eyebrows trembled, but he still didn't turn around in a very short time, but he had already understood something, and he would probably understand it in a while.
Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo gave a practical example to help him understand: "For example, a large amount of time appeared in the hands of the Time Planning Bureau in Zhang San's area, and the time supply increased greatly. Therefore, in order to promote purchases, time The Planning Bureau has given free time to every time-poor person like Zhang San, what do you think will happen?"
Dao Yan, who was on the verge of understanding, suddenly realized it.
"Zhang San will naturally buy a lot of food from Li Si."
"So, Li Si's problem has been solved? The time crisis that the local time planning bureau is about to face has also been solved?"
After asking and answering himself, Daoyan immediately shook his head.
Daoyan thought to himself that this must be the evil dragon's spell, and the supply cannot appear out of thin air.
What I gain must be what he loses.
How did the evil dragon manage to move a lot of time from other places to the local area?
What exactly is the principle of this spell?
Jiang Xinghuo knew very well where Dao Yan's thoughts were entangled and quickly solved his doubts.
"The evil dragon's spells mainly come in two ways."
"The first type is essentially the same as Zhang San's loan to Li Si before. It is also a matter of money and grain, but it is borrowing a large amount of time from the future. This large amount must be enough to trigger new demand through supply. The situation is not just a small repair. Then, the borrowed time will be distributed to Zhang San and others. There is actually nothing to talk about. "
Dao Yan nodded. It was just that under the auspices of the [Invisible Hand], the Lis and Sons in the time market lent their extra time to the Zhangs and Sans in order to sell the finished products. The Zhangs and the Sans then to buy finished goods, but this is informal, while the Time Planning Bureau leads large-scale time lending, which is formal.
Perhaps the most powerful of the evil dragon's spells is what I will talk about next.
"The second type is called time reflux." Jiang Xinghuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
"In other words, through various means, we can attract the flow of stock time from other places back to the local area."
Jiang Xinghuo explained: "The method of time reflow is to increase the time value-added interest rate in your own time bank."
"The so-called time appreciation spread of increasing one's own time bank has different forms, invisible and explicit."
"The explicit one is to directly increase time interest and attract depositors from banks at other times."
Jiang Xinghuo said meaningfully: "After all, in the world of Time Planning Bureau, the autonomy of time, or self-interest, is the first principle."
"And time knows no place."
Dao Yan's skinny fingers unconsciously rubbed the thick quilt lining, and before his eyes, the shadow of the evil dragon seemed to appear again.
The evil dragon flies freely chasing the silver coins. Wherever there are more silver coins and can be easily eaten, the evil dragon will set its sights.
Rather than saying this is the evil dragon's spell, it is better to say that it is the delicious food used by the Time Planning Bureau to lure the evil dragon.
But if you think about it further, liabilities and assets, supply and demand are two sides of the same coin.
Are the Time Planning Bureau and the Evil Dragon two sides of the same coin?
The evil dragon cut its own tail with its hind claws, and the smell of blood attracted the evil dragon's head.
The evil dragon was so greedy that it followed the taste and ate its own tail, "crunching" and devouring it, but it still didn't notice.
An indescribable and huge sense of pleasure arose in Daoyan's mind.
This feeling of joy was not just about him defeating his inner demons.
What's more, the evil dragon that seemed to be too powerful to defeat appeared in front of Jiang Sheng, who was wearing a green shirt.
To be so vulnerable.
With Jiang Sheng's presence, what else is there to worry about?
As soon as he thought of this, Dao Yan suddenly felt that his illness was cured and he felt refreshed.
Jiang Xinghuo's words continued.
"Implicitly, it makes the time appreciation spread in other regions less stable. It doesn't even need to make the surface value lower, just make it less stable."
A smile appeared on the corner of Dao Yan's mouth.
This means that as long as you shake the neighbor's tree, the frightened birds in the tree will naturally fly up to find a new and safer place to stay. It doesn't matter whether the neighbor's tree falls down or not.
After listening to all Jiang Xinghuo's answers, Dao Yan felt refreshed, wiped the sweat from his bald head, left the quilt and stood up.
Dao Yan has understood the composition of the evil dragon, the principles of periodic expansion and disintegration, and all the spells possessed by the evil dragon.
Then, the dragon-slaying sword is ready to come out.
The old monk raised his hands in salute and said solemnly to Jiang Xinghuo.
"Today, the inner demons have been solved. If Jiang Sheng does not give up, Dao Yan is willing to become Jiang Sheng's disciple and work together to innovate the Ming Dynasty!"
Looking at the old monk Dao Yan in front of him, Jiang Xinghuo felt an uncontrollable joy in his heart.
"With Master Daoyan's help, I think Jiang will be able to walk more steadily on this journey."
The two looked at each other and smiled. People who are on the same road do not need to express their ambitions all the time.
Think and act, and never forget your original intention.
What Jiang Xinghuo and Dao Yan, who were far away at the foot of Jingting Mountain in Xuancheng, didn't know was that in the past few days since they left, the debate on reform had already formed an unstoppable and huge storm between the government and the opposition.
Some people supported it, while others opposed it. Although the six ministers agreed in principle, the opposition between the government and the public was almost overwhelming.
But there was one person who did not object loudly, but made a move that was more powerful than all the opponents.
His name is Jingqing.
He will challenge Jiang Xinghuo at the cost of his life.
