Chapter 342 Marketization

There are only two chapters if something is delayed today, and three chapters will continue tomorrow.

…………………………

From then on, Shen Bing admired Yun Qian even more, he could even see the relationship between Zhao Gao, Li Si and him clearly.

But it's not surprising to think about it.

Zhao Gao is Hu Hai’s teacher, and Fusu is in Northland again...

In addition, the Northland has recently received unreasonable orders one after another, such as regaining Jiuyuan, so it is difficult for people like Yun Qian to know.

This is indeed a headache.

If we spin and sell to Zhongyuan like Yunzhong County, it would be okay, after all, it is trade within Zhongyuan.

But if you are doing business with the Western Regions... if you are not careful, Zhao Gao and Li Si will be charged with collaborating with the enemy.

Shen Bing asked:

"Then what should I do?"

Yun Xi Shi Shiran replied:

"Cao Min thought that the general's move was not to make money in business, right?"

Yun Tian is right.

If Shen Bing is to make money, he doesn't need to do anything about the Silk Road. You only need to do a good job in the textile industry to make a lot of money.

Shen Bing, this is the resource for the Western Regions.

First of all, he knew that the Western Regions were also enemies of the Huns...

As the saying goes, "the enemy's enemy is one's own friend."

If you want to deal with the Huns better, you should unite the Western Regions to face them from both sides.

During the Han Dynasty, it was also for this purpose that people were sent to the Western Regions.

The second is that the Western Regions have many things that the North Region needs, such as high-quality war horses and even cavalry... The Western Regions are also an area with wide grasslands and deserts. Like the Huns, many tribes grew up on horseback.

If anyone can really fight the Xiongnu on the grassland, it is the Western Cavalry.

So Shen Bing just said:

"Shen Bing wants to unite the West Rong forces against the Huns, and even form a West Rong cavalry!"

Yun Tian looked at Shen Bing with a different color on his face. He didn't expect Shen Bing to have such a big appetite. He originally thought that Shen Bing just wanted a horse from the Western Regions...

The quality of the horses in the Central Plains is not good. Although there are large high-quality horse farms in the Hetao area, raising horses cannot happen overnight. Obviously, the North can not wait that long.

Therefore, Yun Qian had considered this point before coming here, and the only way to increase his combat power was to introduce war horses from Xirong.

I don't want Shen Bing to think of this, and even want to form a Xirong cavalry.

Yun Tian thinks about it and thinks it makes sense.

Because if the Huns were Xi Rong’s enemies, there must be many people who were deeply hurt and hated by the Huns.

On the other hand, Xi Rong is independent of each other, and there are as many as 36 countries in a small area.

It is inevitable that there is a small country destroyed by the Huns.

These Xirong people who had been annihilated from the country have no fixed place to wander around. If Shen Bing can summon these scattered Xirong people to the Hetao area and use them to fight the Xiongnu...

Thinking of Yuntian, he nodded secretly.

This was something he didn't think about. He thought that Shen Bing was just a whimsical idea, but he didn't expect to have such a big heart.

After a pause, Yun Xi said:

"If this is the case, there is no big problem."

"All the general has to do is to let the people do business..."

Shen Bing couldn't help but let out an "Oh".

Yun Tian's words awakened the man in his dream.

First of all, if letting the common people do business is to take this Silk Road and Shen Bing only guides and provides conditions, then it is a civil act rather than an official one, and there is no collusion with the enemy.

So not only can they avoid being caught by Zhao Gaolisi but also achieve their own goals...Of course, these business people will bring war horses from the Western Regions, and even the Western Regions will have people coming to the Hetao.

If they heard that Shen Bing would recruit cavalry from the Western Regions, they would naturally pass it back and someone would come.

On the other hand, Shen Bing suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

He always hoped that the Northland would develop, and then ordered his subordinates and the people to do it.

At present, this will not be a problem, because Shen Bing has enough knowledge and enough reason, whether industry or agriculture is developing in the correct direction he determined.

The problem is that this is not flexible enough. Second, there is no competition. Third, the soldiers must bow down, so I am very busy...

This is actually the shortcomings of the planned economy. Everything is planned. Shen Bing decides everything and Shen Bing plans.

If there is something that Shen Bing is not good at, or if he makes a wrong decision, he will have to wait a long time before he can withdraw from the market.

In fact, Shen Bing doesn't need to grasp everything at all. He should open up this market, at least partly, to allow the people to participate.

After the formation of market competition relationship, it will enter a virtuous circle and self-improve... Those that are suitable for the people and meet the needs of the market can occupy the market, and those that are backward and unsuitable for the people will be naturally eliminated by market rules.

At that time, there will be no need for too much intervention by the soldiers, the people will be able to support themselves, and the North will naturally develop and prosper.

Therefore, what Shen Bing should do more is to control, guide, and formulate rules to make a difference at the strategic level, rather than directly as an operator.

Of course, we must not let go of some strategic industries that have a bearing on the life and death of the North, such as iron smelting.

Other industries are conditionally open, such as agriculture, artisans, and war horses.

If these industries are opened up, once they are controlled by others, it is to let others choke the throat of Northland.

For example, if agriculture is completely market-oriented, it means that as long as there is enough money, all the food in the North can be bought. Does that mean that the life and death of the North is in his hands?

The same goes for craftsmen and war horses.

This principle is practical in modern society. Even if we talk about marketization, the energy, communications, transportation, and food industries that are related to national security and lifeline cannot be privatized or can only be partially privatized.

Otherwise, the oil supply, electricity, and communications will be cut off during the war... the country will be in chaos immediately, let alone fighting.

This is actually very easy to understand, but there are still many people with ulterior motives who blindly advocate privatization and marketization in the name of environmental protection and use a lot of false evidence.

It seems that privatization and marketization are omnipotent, as long as the marketization of gasoline will not pollute the environment.

Thinking of this, Shen Bing no longer hesitated, he nodded and said:

"Brother Yuntian said a lot, and I should let the people do business."

"For the time being... let go of the textile industry first!"

Yun Tian couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He thought that Shen Bing would only let go of the pounding rice, but he didn't expect to let go of the textile industry.

Yun Tian thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked:

"What does the general mean is to allow the people to operate textile workshops?"

Shen Bing nodded:

"It's true."

"But... only North Cadastre is allowed to operate in Jiuyuan and Yunzhong counties."

"I will provide technical support and charge a certain fee."

"In addition, I think banks should be established."

Yun Tian couldn't help but wonder:

"Banks?"
