Chapter 1125: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (15)
"The private property of individuals is sacrosanct, and no institution or individual may embezzle or occupy the personal assets of the people under any pretext!" Ning Xin whispered the bill drafted by Gao Yuan, and Ye Jing'er and He Lanyan on the side both looked at Gao Yuan with their mouths wide open.
"Big brother, does this mean that if the court wants to requisition civilian goods in the future, it will not work." Ye Jing'er asked in a daze.
"Of course, if the imperial court wants to expropriate, then it must pay the corresponding price." Gao Yuan nodded and said: "In fact, in our Dahan, these policies have already begun, for example, now the expansion of our Jicheng and the demolition of the houses of the people of Jicheng not only have to redraw the foundation for it, but also have to pay a considerable amount of money, and the farmland occupied has also been compensated accordingly."
"Can't even you requisition the people's goods at will?" Helan Yan was holding Xiao Gao Ning in her arms, trying hard to braid Gao Ning's still thin hair into a small braid.
"Of course, once the bill is passed, everyone from me, the king, down to the common people, must abide by it." Gao Yuan's head said.
He Lanyan suddenly laughed, "Then Brother Gao, it seems that we violated the law now when we hit a big family?" Thinking of the things that were done in order to raise military spending, He Lanyan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If you get such a bill out now, won't you slap yourself in the mouth."
"This time is also that time." Gao Yuan said without blushing: "At that time, we were considered to be destroyers of order, it belonged to a stage of barbaric accumulation, otherwise we would not have survived, but now, we are the guardians of order, naturally it will be like this, you think, those merchants and workshop owners who came with us, and those who made a fortune through their own wisdom and wisdom, if they can't be sure whether these properties will disappear one day because of an order from the imperial court, How can they contribute their every bit of strength to the Han with peace of mind?"
"But in this case, where does the majesty of the court remain?" Ye Jing'er asked, since ancient times, the imperial court, the king has controlled the life and death of his subordinates, and the family and the clan are exterminated, it is just a sentence, Ye Jing'er of course remembers that the Ye family fell twice, and the wealth gathered by the huge Ye family was wiped out in an instant.
"The majesty of the king, the court, is not reflected by this." Gao Yuan smiled. The majesty of a country can only be shown to the outside world, and its greatest function is to let his people walk under this sky, and always glorify the country behind you, which is the majesty of the imperial court."
"Brother Gao said this, I understand a little, I think at the beginning, when the caravan owned by our Ning family walked between the countries, we also had to carefully deal with the magnates of various countries, one is not careful, it is often the end of the goods being swallowed up and the people being killed, this is still our Ning family, not to mention the ordinary merchants, it is a common thing to have two empty people and money, but now, our merchants of the Han Dynasty walk between Chu and Qin, but they are unimpeded, and no one dares to make difficulties, which is relying on the glorious power of my Han Dynasty."
"That's it!" Gao Yuan clapped his hands and laughed: "Think about it, if there is such a country, will the people not support this country?" Will they not support the rulers of this country? Now there are more and more businessmen, factory owners, and mine owners in Dahan, and this bill is to let these people take a reassuring pill and work well in Dahan, and your wealth is all yours."
"What about the traitors?" Ye Jing'er asked.
"The Private Ownership Act protects clean property." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "If it is illegally gained, then it is naturally a different matter, not only must it be confiscated, but also a fine must be imposed, of course, this is another law."
"When this bill is sent to the Grand Council, of course there will be no doubt that the members of the Grand Council from the various states are mostly squires, merchants, and factory owners of local repute, and of course they are in favor of it with both hands." Ning Xin smiled: "Instead, the resistance will come from the officials, because it will further suppress their rights."
"The role of our officials should change slowly, they have to adapt to their new roles, parents and parents, I have never agreed with this concept, our officials should serve the people, be the servants of the people, the waiters, solve problems for the people, not be above the people. Of course, it is very difficult to change this concept, not to mention officials, even ordinary people, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn this corner for a while, and it may take a generation or even several generations to complete. But I have to lay the groundwork." Gao Yuan said thoughtfully.
"Big brother, are your steps a little too big, in the past two years, the laws and bills that have been introduced one after another have been dazzling and overwhelming, and the officials below have many complaints!" Ning Xin pondered for a moment, "It's said that it's difficult for our Han officials to be officials!"
Gao Yuan laughed, "I know, but you have to know more, some things are done by me, I'm afraid it will be easier to do in the future, with me in town, many people don't dare to show it even if they have opposition and resentment, and they have to do things well seriously, and slowly they will get used to it and form an inherent cognition, if it is dragged down and put on our next generation, it may not be done."
"Brother Gao, what did you say?" Ye Jing'er glanced at him with disgust, "You have just turned thirty years old now, even if you only live to be a hundred years old, it will not take you seventy years to complete these things, so why are you in such a hurry?" I'm afraid that pulling out the seedlings will help them grow, and they will eventually produce freaks!"
"I thought about it too, but after thinking about it for a long time, a lot of things, I decided to launch it as soon as possible, do you know why?" Looking at his three wives, Gao Yuan asked rhetorically.
All three shook their heads.
"Our Han has just established the country, officials at all levels, whether it is local, or military, they still maintain an upward vigorous heart, for new things, they may not understand, but they will still try, but time has passed, if a big tree, the deeper his roots, the more closely entangled, the intertwined interests will make them lose their original ideals, when the huge interests are formed, want to change, it will be difficult." Gao Yuan let out a long breath: "Now while these roots are still growing, I will first set up the rules for them, or there will be some rubbing, but there will always be a downward growth time, growing with these new things, as for Jing'er, what you said may grow into a freak, this is not impossible, but didn't you say that I can live for seventy years, then there is a seventy years of time for me to stare at it, and correct it from time to time, so that he can bear a delicious fruit as much as possible."
Gao Yuan remembered that in that world in another time and space, the people of many countries fought unremittingly to have these rights, but they paid for blood and lives, and in that process, the turbulent society, the disintegrating order, and the scene of human life like a mustard, couldn't help but shake his head.
As the founder of a country, Gao Yuan wants to use his current supreme authority in this country, as well as the infinite support of the people and the unlimited obedience of officials, to pull out the seedlings in a real sense.
Looking at Ye Jing'er and Ning Xin, who looked a little dignified, Gao Yuan decided to relax the atmosphere, "Besides, I'm also thinking about myself, think about it, we are now considered to be a rich man, Wu's Liquor We are the second shareholder, and Procter & Gamble Co., Ltd., we are still the largest shareholder, these are all daily money, with this private bill, when he Wang Wuchang is tight in the future, if he wants to fight my idea again, I will refuse with words. It's my private property too!"
Hearing his words, Ye Jing'er really smiled: "Look at what you said, the entire Han Dynasty is yours, Wang Wuyan is a miser, old pick, but he is also a family for you!"
"Wrong, wrong!" Gao Yuan shook his head again and again: "Jing'er, over the years, why have I insisted that Wang Wuyan should pay me a salary, and I also won a share for each of you, just to distinguish the family from the country. If the Han Kingdom is compared to a big ship, our Gao is the captain, but this boat is shared with those sailors, only let those sailors also think that this boat also belongs to them, but also their lives, they will spare no effort to maintain the safety of this ship, once the ship capsizes, everyone has to die. If the sailors think that they can climb into another boat even if this capsizes, then our Gao clan is finished."
"Shared with the people?" Ye Jing'er looked at Gao Yuan in shock, "That's what you think?"
"Yes, this is like Procter & Gamble Co., Ltd., we are just shareholders, but the largest shareholder, think about it, if Ke Zhen and Jiang Dalang don't have to worry about management, then what's the point of our major shareholder? It is precisely because Ke Zhen and Jiang Dalang regard Procter & Gamble Co., Ltd. as their most important property that they will desperately operate and maintain it carefully!"
Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Ye Jing'er and Ning Xin both fell into deep thought, and even He Lanyan on the side gave up her efforts to braid Gao Ning's hair into pigtails and looked at Gao Yuan blankly.
Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Gao Yuan thought a little embarrassed, the amount of information is too much, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to turn the corner for a while, but it doesn't matter, I slowly instill in them, if even the closest people around me can't change, then what else can I do? The officials of the Han Dynasty, the people, have changed dramatically over the years, and slowly, they will definitely understand their intentions. Hopefully this time will be a little shorter.
