Chapter 904: Grain

"Idiot, I thought it was a big business war with you.

On the battlefield of warriors, every battle will change, and the same enemy, the next time they encounter it, they will become weaker or stronger.

There is no change, that's a minority of the few.

Chang'an is a trendsetting place.

In ordinary times, it is a prelude to people thinking about breakthroughs.

Although the big wave was opened by the emperor, it was also a new change for businessmen.

With commercial taxes, you have supported the operation of the imperial court, and you have the capital to speak.

Small businessmen can't see the benefits, so don't big merchants see it either?

All I can say is that the Han people are too stupid. ”

Although Qian Rujun's voice was small, he still spoke, and naturally some people heard what he said.

Most people just laughed at Qian Rujun for not knowing what to say.

But there were still a few well-dressed people who walked past Qian Rujun and said to Qian Rujun:

"Childe is also a clear-eyed person. But it's still too much to say that the Han businessman is stupid. After the imperial decree was delivered, two percent of the merchants expressed their support and actively cooperated with the official tax inspector to complete the tax policy. Be prepared to pay on the stipulated day. ”

"That is, it is my fault to extend the fault to the whole. ”

"Knowing that you can change it, it is very good. ”

The person who spoke to Qian Rujun seemed to be a literate person, and he was very pleased that they had persuaded another person.

Their task, it seems, is to wander around from time to time, to talk to different people, to explain what is in their hearts.

and state their judgment.

Emperor Liu Heng once announced that big officials and students are not allowed to talk nonsense, but for the ordinary people of Chang'an City, even if they talk about the rights and wrongs of big officials or the royal family, he also looks at it happily.

It seems that from these words, they can see what forces are active, or what kind of voices the people have spontaneously made.

As for the gossip about them, as long as it is not too excessive and not provoked by people with good intentions, the emperor will only have fun with the people.

At the same time, he will also collect more folk rumors and songs to judge the general trend of the people.

But the emperor found that if the people began to spread the right and wrong of other places, in fact, most of them were the circulation of people with hearts.

The people rarely had the opportunity to set foot outside the city.

At most, if you communicate with friends outside the city, even if you get rumors from other places, it will be old news.

They also know, so if it's news or something, they don't care too much.

If there is an improvement in farming or other life, they will quickly imitate and learn.

In this era, no one has yet used intellectual property rights to make money.

After the modification, Qian Rujun did not have the right to talk to them, and after Qian Rujun admitted his mistake, they left.

They felt that the man Qian Rujun had changed his disguise should have thought about their words and been inspired in the future.

Qian Rujun didn't get any inspiration, she only knew that many things, when developing, were beyond her imagination.

Fortunately, the main state is still similar to Qian Rujun's prediction.

The students of Qian Rujun Academy also played a great role.

In a situation where most people are serious about their work, even a few people who are greedy will be suppressed so as not to be reported.

The emperor's action, although it will startle the snake, because there is no way to fully unfold.

But it was Emperor Liu Heng who clearly recognized how many people there were and spread out.

As for the executive order, the emperor did not issue it.

He gave existing officials a chance. If they can cooperate with the actions of Chang'an City, in the future, they will not deviate from the core of power.

The emperor realized that most of the work, except for some of the work, required professional people to work.

And these people who are rich and wealthy do not necessarily have enough ability to do things.

Although they are smarter, they still have to learn everything again when they get to work.

This period of study varies in length, some people can learn it in a few days, more people take several years, and many people simply don't learn it themselves and let the officials learn it.

As long as they take the officials who are loyal to them with them, they can ensure the smooth appointment of their officials.

In the end, he was equivalent to a contractor foreman, receiving most of his salary, giving some of his salary to the people who actually did the work.

People who actually do things want to live, so they must ask for some money and food from the people they do, that is, people who generally don't do things to speak for themselves.

Every day is like this, and they think that life is the way it should be.

There will be no tearing between the emperor and his courtiers, they will only play dumb riddles.

If they guess correctly, their reaction may be obedience or betrayal, but while the dumb riddle is still going on, let them move several beats slower.

The Emperor was very fond of dumb riddles, and only he could do this kind of winning dumb riddles.

If it were someone else, it might be against the counterattack, and it would not be capable.

Playing dumb riddles is a good way to do it.

But Qian Rujun doesn't have the IQ and wisdom to operate dumb riddles, so she likes to go straight to the point the most, and she hates tests like dumb riddles the most.

Fortunately, she was qualified to ask the emperor for answers directly.

So when the emperor played dumb riddles, he couldn't hit Qian Rujun.

Jinmai City is the greatest support for the emperor.

However, after the commercial tax is on the road, the money that Qian Rujun gave to the emperor will take the commercial tax route, and will not take the smuggling route.

If the emperor wants some money privately, he can use father-daughter affection to ask Qian Rujun for money.

And the money that Qian Rujun gave to the emperor is equivalent to the capital of filial piety.

Qian Rujun knew that if he wanted to be a good emperor, he had to spend a lot of money, and for the imperial court, money would never be enough.

When you have built one thing well, people will have the next stage of request, and in the end, they will take the rights they enjoy for granted, which is a natural human right, and they did not expect that the emperor would need to spend a lot of effort to do such a thing.

Qian Rujun saw the city near Chang'an, and the merchants wanted to resist the emperor's policy in grain.

The people regard food as the sky, which is a truth that the emperor knows, and the merchants know that in their eyes, if they make money, will it harm other people and make others have nothing to eat, they can simply ignore it.

After all, there are so many people who sell grain, you don't buy it from me, you can buy it from other people, I just want to sell it at such an expensive price.

If you can't buy food from other families and starve to death, it's none of his business.

He thinks that there are other people, it is someone else's fault, why look for him?

The emperor could not arrest all the grain merchants.

As this small trader said, they can't afford to go to a farther place to buy goods, and if these capable merchants don't bring the goods, there will be two kinds of losses, farmers and small traders, and people who generally need to buy grain.

Anyone is very passive inside.

But the Emperor knew that in order to achieve this effect, merchants had to unite.

If the merchants united to do such a thing, it would be tantamount to coercing the emperor and tantamount to rebellion.

So there are twenty percent of businessmen who support the emperor, which is a good thing for the emperor.

Moreover, Qian Rujun, a supporter of the emperor, was a merchant on a large farm, and Qian Rujun had enough money to buy the farms of people who had no money to live, and continue to farm, and he was also able to open up wasteland and recruit people to work on the Qian family's farm.

Qian Rujun's farm work is the last welfare job in the neighborhood, even if he goes outside to work as a small trader, he is very willing to work on the Qian family farm.

Qian Rujun has concentrated a lot of money on buying land and opening up wasteland, and has opened a lot of transportation companies, and built an urban and rural transportation system in later generations, even if you can't go to Chang'an, you can transport goods to Chang'an City.

Qian Rujun found some merchants who were willing to do business and were willing to pay taxes, transported them to the countryside, let them bargain with the farmers, and also helped the farmers in the countryside to open up a collection market, so that the merchants who came to buy could find a fixed place, and this location was often where Qian Rujun's goods were located.

These businessmen who gave up their business did not expect that although they gave up doing business with the big families and let the big families combine with them, they let the small farmers start business and connect with the market.

They also felt that it would be more helpful for them if the merchants were all in a few exchanges.

And these merchants, not only buying, but also bring some items they need when they come here.

And so, logistics began to emerge.

Qian Rujun's farm itself has logistics, and the crops are ripe and ripe quickly.

As for Qian Rujun's interest in the field after this period of turmoil, her assets will still return to her nature, it depends on what the people decide in the end.

People can always choose a better life, or they feel that Qian Rujun will be very happy and harvest more abundantly.

If the people who help him cherish his land very much and want to take back the Tiantian, then Qian Rujun will return these improved and better cultivated lands to them.

But in exchange, it is not to give them the land.

Qian Rujun felt that they could use this money to concentrate on cultivating wasteland, and after planting the land for a few years to stabilize the land, let people buy the land.

As for giving benefits for no reason, Qian Rujun is not a court official, and she feels that such a method is not advisable.

In any era, doing good deeds without limits will upset the balance of society.

When people get a benefit for no reason, they look forward to getting it next time.

Once or twice, people will have expectations that they shouldn't have.

Qian Rujun has seen many examples in later generations, and since there are so many cases in front of her, she naturally will not give these fields to these people for no reason.

And one of the most important things in the feudal dynasty is that when you want to show grace to the people, especially the people at large, you may replace the official object of worship of the people, but this is a very dangerous thing.

The court may know that you are a good person, but this can only be done in the name of the official.

The court and the emperor will not want your kindness to be greater than theirs.

If this is especially true when they don't do good deeds, they will think that it is a great irony for them that you do good deeds.

So the more you do a lot of good deeds, the more awkward it will be, and if it's just a small amount of good deeds, he can give you a plaque to think that he has a credit for this place, at least he has something to report.

They can even take credit for what you do and turn it into an official thing.

As long as you do something on a small scale, such things will not get attention from above.

But there are some people who do things that will make them feel annoying, and these people just can't cover up what you do and turn it into his credit.

If you do too much of this kind of thing, you will give a bad impression to the local yamen, and even let him turn these good things into pigtails and report to the emperor that he thinks you have different intentions.

The three of them become tigers and unite as one, all of them are saying that they should do things with the power of the group.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, there's nothing wrong with uniting forces.

A bunch of people say bad things about you next to the emperor, and Qian Rujun can't stand it.

Trust is mysterious, and when you trust someone and when you don't, you react very differently when you see what they do.

A person's trust in people is often just a matter of thought.

Perhaps everything needs to be compared, and trust is also a product of the environment.

Emperor Liu Heng can't say that he trusts Qian Rujun, because Qian Rujun represents divine will, divine will, and sometimes can destroy imperial power, so the emperor himself trembles in the face of Qian Rujun, and it can be said that Qian Rujun's power is above the emperor.

However, this is not the case in ordinary times, Qian Rujun submits to the emperor, and even helps the emperor do some things.

For his part, the emperor believed that if he did not violate the will of heaven, he would not be punished.

He can do whatever he wants, and as long as he does not keep the majority of the people from being harmed, he can have the greatest power in the world.

With the greatest power, it is even better to have a fairy-like lifespan.

Emperor Liu Heng himself, after taking the position of emperor, took great care of the people, especially the people in Guanzhong.

He believes that providence should be by his side, not to mention, Qian Rujun is also helping him.

Of course, there are some people who still can't do anything about them, and some people are born to do great things for the world.

Without this man, the people would have suffered, but God did not say who they were.

The emperor can only judge for himself.

Those people are very troublesome, and he may not have done good things for the people of the world now, but he will do it in the future, and it is inevitable, but the emperor does not know.

In this case, he can only guess, because most of such people will not be bad people, and they are very capable.

Or have the ability to invent.

His power must have been able to influence most of the people.
