An important part of Zhao Zhenji's letter is that the current benevolence and justice index is too offending. Even if it is changed to benevolence and righteousness for all people, it still won't work.
For new learning to gain a firm foothold, it must come up with a new, more basic and more unified indicator.
This indicator must be based on benevolence and righteousness, but at the same time everyone can see the benefits. Only such indicators will not be rejected by bureaucrats and gentry.
In fact, later generations of economics have paid great attention to this point, that is, all aspects emphasize Pareto improvement, which means that the total interests must be improved as much as possible without harming anyone's interests.
This is a major shackle of economics in later generations. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenji, who is now a veteran in officialdom, has awakened.
"What do you three think?" Gao Hanwen called Zhu Geng, Shen Yiguan, and Liu Junmo to ask their opinions.
"Students think we should look at it logically. Benevolence is the amount of survival wealth, and righteousness is the distribution of total wealth. Then wealth is the basis of both. As long as we find a way to measure wealth, it should be This can be done," Zhu Geng said first.
"Measurement is a bit troublesome, teacher. Confucian studies seldom distinguish between currency and wealth, and the two are often confused. Now it seems that the two are not the same. Currency is only an expression of wealth, but currency It will also affect wealth. Measuring wealth without money is a bit unrealistic. Should we separate these two, teacher?" Shen's consistent answer made Gao Hanwen's eyes light up. I planned to postpone the discussion of the financial part, but I didn’t expect it to be brought up now.
"Forget it for now, the issue of currency and wealth is a new one, and we can't do it all at once. Just use currency to measure wealth, but we need to indicate the exchange relationship between currency and food during this period. Gao Hanwen said with sigh.
"Then there is another problem, that is, calculating wealth over a period of time or accumulated wealth. It is easier to calculate a period of time, such as years, but it is troublesome if it is accumulated, and data cannot be obtained for many things." Shen Guanyi continued to ask.
"It will be for a period of time. One year, half a year, or one quarter will do." Gao Hanwen actually almost said the GDP, but he still held it back. Only when the people of Ming Dynasty speak out can Ming Dynasty have hope for the future.
"There are actually two directions. One is the monetary expression of everyone's income, and the other is the monetary expression of the wealth produced."
After Shen Guanyi finished speaking, he paused. He immediately said it again.
“If only money spent is money, then the expenditure method should also be used, which is the total monetary expenditure of everyone during this period.”
“Where is Jun Mo? "Gao Hanwen was quite satisfied with his two disciples, but seeing that Liu Junmo still didn't say a word, he quickly asked, "Teacher, I'm actually a little out of rhythm, but I don't understand why. It must be satisfied without harming everyone's benefits. This assumption seems a bit difficult.to achieve. It's a bit unrealistic, and it also seems that our new students are weak and can be bullied a bit." Liu Junmo has only been here for two months, and he is still a little confused.
I felt that I had a question, so I blurted out the question.
< p>"Well, you two think so too." Gao Hanwen looked at his two direct disciples with confused expressions.It seems that he had to give a hint in advance.
"Specifically. I won’t go into details and will leave it to the difference between money and wealth just mentioned. What we just talked about is based on the premise of not damaging everyone’s monetary wealth. You can think about the rest privately, and then you can confirm each other when we talk about it later."
