Ciel was very interested in everything about Dongguo. He was envious and curious. There was a lot of information about Dongguo in the briefings he read every day.

I remember that in Fiso Port, Ke Mengchao took Charles with him and taught him a lesson for several months, mainly to let him develop certain habits, which must be developed, so it was both teaching and training.

After Charles became the president of the country, he spent very little time meeting Ke Mengchao. But every time the old man showed up, Charles was very nervous and repeatedly wondered whether he had made any mistakes recently. This was also a lesson for Ke Mengchao.

psychological shadow.

There was once an advisory meeting that Ke Mengchao rarely attended. Charles was busy with official duties and rushed to read today's briefing before the meeting. Suddenly he heard someone ask: "What are you looking at?"

Hearing this voice, Charles reflexively jumped up from his chair and stood up straight, and replied eloquently: "The daily briefing provided by the Secretariat... Mr. Ke, would you like to review it?"

Ke Mengchao smiled and took the folder over, but did not open it and asked casually: "Why do you have to read this every day?"

Charles: "What important events are happening internationally and domestically? I must understand the situation."

Ke Mengchao: "When things are said to be big, where does the bigness lie? In the public, in reason, or in measure?"

Charles: "The principle is always great, and the greatness lies in Mingde. This is what you always taught me.

All organized norms of human behavior, including personal behavior and social behavior, are ‘big’. To see their bigness is to grasp their essence.”

Ke Mengchao: "What about what others taught you?"

Charles: "Human, earth, heaven, Tao, the four major elements in the domain, the greatness lies in seeing the subtle and seeing the basic elements. This is what Mr. Yang taught... Behind countless complex phenomena, there are simple and simple laws."

Ke Mengchao nodded slightly: "I didn't ask you to memorize the quotation, let's talk about it in detail."

Charles: "If you don't say that the principles of ancient times are constant, let's say that the principles of today are constant..."

Ke Mengchao interrupted him and said: "There are both ancient and modern principles, and there is no ancient and modern principles. The so-called principles are great, regardless of ancient or modern times."

Charles was stunned, and then carefully organized his words and said: "If we talk about it from this level, the so-called outline is the latitude and longitude of everything, which is what Mr. Yang calls Skynet."

Master Ke interrupted him again and said: "Let's not talk about the net of law and heaven, just talk about his human nature."

Charles: "The outline is the purpose of order, the legal system, the administrative system, and the production relations according to what principles, and what goals are implemented and operated? Don't look at their propaganda, but understand their essence.

Chang is the need that is indispensable every day in reality. What do people need to identify with, believe in, defend, and experience every day. The principle is born from the principle of Chang, and the principle is often controlled by the principle... Hey, I just realized it, this is a bit like

The economic base and superstructure."

Ke Mengchao smiled: "It's a bit similar, but it's not exactly the same thing. The so-called Gangchang is both the foundation and the pillar. When we say that Gangchang is big, how big is it?"

If someone else had spoken like this, Charles might have been impatient, but he didn't dare and wouldn't do it in front of Master Ke. He thought for a while and said, "For example, how much does firewood cost per pound and where can I buy it? This is Chang.

Because everyone has to cook every day.

Therefore, the number of people in each city, how much consumption is required every day, how many outlets need to be laid, and how to mobilize transportation are also common. The current price of firewood and whether it can be afforded by family income are still common.

Then organize the production of firewood and ensure the demand for consumption. This is the outline. Based on the current income level, decide how to price and subsidize firewood to ensure that every family can afford it. This is also the outline...

If the next order is that you are not allowed to use firewood for cooking, or that you must use firewood for cooking, this is still the rule."

Mr. Ke: "Today's meeting is about fuel for residents' lives, so you used it as an example. Your answer is somewhat correct, but not quite. Let's talk about it."

Charles continued honestly: "Is organizing the production, transportation, and distribution of firewood to develop the firewood industry, or to solve the fuel problem of residents' lives? Both seem to be solutions, and they seem to be the same thing, but they are not the same.

Something happened.

The purpose of the former is to profit from firewood, which is the key. It also needs to expand the scale of production, improve production technology, reduce production costs, and then occupy market share, form a joint monopoly, and obtain pricing power.

The greater the market demand and the higher the price, the more advantageous it is. If it is already strong, it will inevitably suppress competitors and restrict competitive industries through various methods, such as hindering the promotion of briquettes and liquefied gas.

It is also common to replace firewood with briquettes and liquefied gas. It is "normal" to advocate "loan without hesitation".

The pipeline liquefied gas and natural gas I saw in Dongguo are clean and convenient. They are dimensionality reduction measures in the industrial era. If production develops to a certain level, firewood and briquettes will inevitably be unable to compete.

When it becomes unprofitable, the use of firewood and grass is abandoned and replaced by piped gas for profit, and the cycle repeats.

The purpose of the latter is to solve the fuel problem of residents' lives, and this is the guideline. Based on this guideline, firewood is the most realistic choice at present, and there may be better choices in the future.

It is "always" to advocate "respect and use sparingly", whether it is firewood or other living fuels.

It also needs to expand production scale, improve production technology, and reduce production costs. If there is a better choice in the future, then choose better living fuel.

But no matter how abundant the supply of firewood is and how reasonable the pricing is, some poor families still cannot afford it. This is not a problem of firewood production. It depends on whether it is their own problem or a problem of social distribution. We must give them what they can afford.

Chance.

All in all, it is the way of producing and using firewood, and the key is the essential purpose of this way."

After Charles finished speaking, he took a breath secretly. Ke Mengchao frowned slightly: "Your Uncle Mo taught you some of these words, right?"

Charles: "I used to go to the grocery store to find Xiaohua, and I often saw how Mr. Yang and Mr. Mo taught, uh, educated Xiaohua."

Ke Mengchao: "Then let me give you another example. It is written in many books. It is a set of theories.

If the supply of firewood is insufficient, the price will naturally rise. When the price rises, the profit from producing it will naturally increase, and then more people will produce firewood. When the supply is greater, the price will fall again, and finally an equilibrium will be reached.

The ‘normal’ it advocates is not to interfere, not to interfere, and try to leave them alone, so what is the ‘outline’ it represents?”

Charles: "Aren't you always talking about the country of Jili in the past? For many years, no one has intervened in the firewood market, but no firewood industry has been developed at all, and the people have always been short of living fuel.

I had a banana orchard, so I didn't need to buy firewood. In fact, people in our neighborhood rarely spent money to buy firewood. They either went to the countryside to cut it themselves, or they stole some and collected various things that could be burned, such as garbage.

There are often many people from several families gathered around an earthen stove, burning all kinds of garbage for cooking.

According to Mr. Yang, this theory does not conform to the principle of entropy increase at all. I also specifically asked what the principle of entropy increase is. If the example you always gave does have an effect in a certain situation, then there must be others.

The reasons are at play.

Doing nothing is not a state of inaction... I'm sorry, I mentioned Mr. Yang's words again."

Ke Mengchao: "It doesn't matter whether you mention Lao Yang or not. I only ask about his outline."

Ciel: “It’s just that the losses are not enough but there is more than enough to gain. The essential purpose is that the winner takes all and the resources are annexed.

It is said that it does not comply with the principle of entropy increase because this model itself is unstable. In theory, it is also the least efficient production organization method and cannot automatically return to the equilibrium state it describes.

There is no industry that can be entered freely without cost or barriers. If the farms and plantations that produce firewood are in the hands of others, what will you do to enter this market?

If there is only one company left, is there any argument for non-interference? Wouldn't it interfere with its own internal production behavior? The Dongguo political textbook that Xiaohua showed me has long had analytical theories, and every Dongguo middle school student has

Learned.”

Mr. Ke laughed again: "The examples I gave and the analysis you mentioned are all theories written in textbooks. The key is, what kind of principles are these theories advocating for? We must be clear

.

It’s not that there are many smart people in the world who can’t think of many things, but what they think and what you think are not the same thing.”

Charles: "Today's advisory meeting is to study and discuss these issues. According to our assessment, firewood can basically meet the current demand. In the next step, briquettes can be appropriately promoted according to conditions."

Master Ke: "Let's not talk about briquettes for now, let's talk about what Lao Yang taught you, such as the Law of Heaven's Net and the Big in the Small."

Charles: "The net of law and heaven is the law of nature. No one can act arbitrarily away from the actual conditions. The big things are small, and big things don't need to be earth-shattering. Sometimes it only happens to one person, and you have to think about whether it is possible.

Happens to everyone."

Ke Fuzi shook his head slightly: "I understand it well, but it's just not enough..."

The old man wanted to test a few more words, but someone had already come over to remind him that the meeting was about to start, so the chat ended here. Today, Charles recounted based on his memories, and tried his best to imitate Mr. Ke's expression and tone.

Everyone was silent for a while, not quite understanding what he wanted to say. In the end, You Fang smiled and said: "Mr.

Hua Zhenxing asked: "You have preached so many truths and even brought out the Master, so what do you want to say?"

Charles picked up the cup and said a little enigmatically: "Do you know? He Guang knows a friend from Dongguo who runs an online store. Her online store has been operating for ten years, but it was blocked by the platform last month. She complained

It hasn’t been solved yet!”

Wang Fengshou: "Your thinking is too fast. Didn't you say that there are major domestic affairs to discuss?"

Charles: "The outline is always great, and the greatness lies in Mingde; the greatness of the net of law and heaven lies in the subtlety. As the leader of a country, I ask you, who has the right to seize and close a store?"

There are many departments such as industry and commerce, taxation, public security, quality inspection, health, and fire protection, involving different management authorities. If the store violates relevant laws, the evidence can be confirmed and it can be sealed according to law.

But let me ask you again, does a store have the right to seize another store? Does a company have the right to seize another company? They certainly don’t have this right, nor should they have it, but in fact they do, and even do it every day

Exercise, and no one cares.

This is a big deal, a big deal for the Gang, and if there is constant chaos, the Gang will collapse!"

Wang Fengshou coughed twice: "This kind of thing may be complicated. It's hard for us to make a conclusion as there is a situation in the East Kingdom."

Charles: "I didn't tell the leaders of Dongguo, I told you. What I care about is not the present of Dongguo, but the future of Jili Kingdom. Will Jili Kingdom be like this in the future?

Will this also happen?

Yesterday at lunch, I asked He Guang to invite the shop owner over. We had a working dinner together and chatted with her for a few words. You were all busy at the time, so you probably didn't pay attention."

Wang Fengshou quickly explained: "I know about this. You asked He Guang to invite some familiar Dongguo citizens to have lunch together to understand the people's sentiments in Dongguo. The list passed my hands, but I didn't expect..."

Charles: "There are too many things going on these days. I didn't want to say anything now, but after hearing Zhang Buying's experience just now, I think it is necessary to discuss it carefully. The boss is also named Zhang Ying, and Zhang Buying is the same as Zhang Buying.

The only difference between Ying and Ying is that she is a woman and she is very beautiful."

Wang Fengshou: "I know, she is thirty-five years old, eleven years older than you. Her husband died of illness three years ago and she has a daughter. You and she are not suitable, no matter what, don't mess with her."

Come!"

Wang Fengshou was indeed very competent. Charles had invited several Dongguo citizens to the work dinner yesterday. He had read the list and remembered them all. He had to ensure that there would be no problems with these people, but unexpectedly, it seemed that something had gone wrong with Charles.

Charles: "I'm not interested in her person, I'm interested in her things. A widow with a minor child, similar to my mother back then... Let's not talk about these, let's talk about the online store.
To be continued...
