Chapter 044: Supplementing the field with business

"Henan Province is in chaos, and Hedong Road is also in chaos! How do you spend these large amounts of copper coins? Where to spend it? Yang Shidao asked two major questions.

"I heard that the Kwantung family headed by Pei and the five surnames and seven sects of the Shi clan is very supportive of the eldest brother, they not only support in materials, but also opened many grain shops in Luoyang, the price of Luoyang rice has fallen back to about 300 Wen, so that the turbulent public sentiment has been alleviated to a certain extent, plus a large number of people from the Central Plains have run to our Jizhou foothold, therefore, Luoyang's grain has been in excess of demand, and the price of rice has a downward trend, which is a good thing for the people, but for grain merchants, it is bad news. If we buy a large amount at the price of one quintal (1 quintal = 10 buckets) of three hangings, those grain merchants will be happy! ”

"Behind every grain merchant is a family gatekeeper, every family in Luoyang is a supporter of the big brother, and the big brother is definitely willing to act as a bridge between us and the grain merchant in order to ensure the interests of the supporters."

Yang Shidao said worriedly: "His Royal Highness has already torn his face with the family gate valve, will they sell it?" ”

Yang Tong sneered: "Lord Yang is too worthy of the family's door valve. For the sake of money, they even dare to sell their ancestors and the country, what is this face? This business is business, and if you oppose them, you will oppose them, which are two different things. ”

"In addition, you can also communicate with Wang Shichong, this guy has killed a lot of small and medium-sized families, and sought to steal money and food from them, which has aroused the hatred of the Kanto family, the Central Plains has always been the inherent territory of the Kanto family, and sooner or later they will find out the evidence of Wang Shichong's crime of using power for personal gain. Money can be hidden, but a huge amount of grain can't be hidden, I think Wang Shichong is also in a hurry to exchange food for money! When we traded with him, we were actually helping him destroy the incriminating evidence, and he would be very happy. ”

Yang Shidao said: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, but Weichen thinks that there is a person who can spend more money than the minister!" ”

Yang Dongqi said: "Who? ”

"Ling Jing!"

"Oh?" Yang Tong smiled.

"Ling Jing, the word respectful! Hejian people, is the Han Shi who ran for the election of three pavilions and one pavilion, he wrote a 'business theory', and put forward the view of 'agriculture as the main, business as the auxiliary, and work as the backbone', and has a very unique insight into business! Even Xuan Cheng and Chong Yuan have nothing to say... and agreed to include it in the Lingyan Pavilion Bachelor of Arts..."

Kong Yingda said depressedly: "In the eyes of everyone, Xuancheng and I are old and stubborn!" ”

Yang Shidao laughed: "Although it is not complete, it is not far away." ”

The crowd laughed.

"I had a brief exchange with Ling Jing, and he does have unique insights in business, and many of his views coincide with mine, so I decided to add another business department!"

"The Ministry of Commerce is responsible for commercial exchanges, as well as commercial taxation. In the future, all those who do business in Jizhou will need to go to the Ministry of Commerce to apply for a certificate of engaging in business, otherwise...... All of them are illegal operations and will be handed over to the Criminal Department for punishment. ”

Yang Shidao was shocked: "Your Highness, business has been the lowest industry since ancient times, if you ...... If it is a government-run Ministry of Commerce, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world? ”

Facing a pair of shocked and puzzled eyes, Yang Tong explained: "The establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is not a whim, let alone because of Ling Jing!" It's something I've always had. ”

He first recounted the conversation with Ling Jing during the day, and then said: "Everyone knows that prohibiting land sales, apportioning taxes per mu, and paying salaries with money are all inhibiting land annexation, but when the imperial court encounters difficulties, it sometimes has to sell land...... As the years went on, the land was still concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, so the sale of land, the apportionment of taxes per mu, and the payment of wages with money could only ease the process of land annexation, that is, as long as there was land annexation, it would not be possible to completely solve the phenomenon of the cycle of dynasties. ”

"The root of the people's rebellion is the land! If the people have a piece of land of their own, they will fill their stomachs with their own hard work and sweat, and meet this point, which is the prosperity of the world of peace, on the contrary, the world is turbulent and the dynasty is destroyed! ”

"Therefore, under the premise that there is no way to solve the land annexation, the only thing that can be done is to free the people from the land, so that they can survive even if they do not have land. Since land is no longer the only way to survive and make a fortune, will the family still buy land in large quantities? No, it won't! ”

"When commerce develops to a certain extent, it can make up for the rebellion caused by the lack of land. At the same time, the huge profits of business can also make the family gate valve take its eyes off the land and invest in the field of commerce. Since the Maison Gate Valve no longer buys land, there will definitely be no such thing as land annexation. When the family sees the land as dung, the people can continue to live on the land in their hands for generations. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and a group of civil and military officers suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun and opening their mouths!

King Qin really has genius-like insight, and has put forward a genius-like idea with great foresight!

Fang Xuanling's body trembled with excitement, and praised: "Genius-like insight, genius-like conception...... In the future, if someone tells me that he is a genius, I will have to slap him a few times. ”

Yang Tong smiled: "When the family gate valve sees that the value of 10,000 acres of fertile land is not as good as the value created by a workshop, guess what will happen to them?" ”

Kong Yingda sighed: "It is said that businessmen chase away, but in this world, who is not like this?" At that time, of course, it will be like a gadfly seeing blood and swarming into business! ”

This King of Qin is simply a demon!

Not only can I see through the world, but I am also familiar with people's hearts...... How did this man come about?

Is the royal bloodline so noble?

Shouldn't we encourage King Qin to take more concubines and have more daughters?

Yang Tong, who didn't know Kong Yingda's idea of beating his daughter, continued: "When commerce is booming, there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going from the south to the north, which has led to the prosperity and development of food, clothing, housing and transportation!" The prosperity of food, clothing, housing and transportation feeds back agriculture, aquaculture, silk weaving, and handicrafts! And the imperial court could get a gushing tax revenue from it. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Tong finally concluded: "A country is built on the backbone of thousands of people, the strong people will be strong, the country will be strong, and the strength of the country with weak people is just a flash in the pan......

Everyone was moved, ordinary royal children like to sing praises of virtue, taboo to hear the decline of the country, like Yang Tong so calmly face the person, it is really rare.

No wonder Yang Tong is not yet in the age of the weak crown, but he has never been playful, but diligent, and has never been proud and complacent, most of which is this kind of foresight and vision to be prepared for danger in times of peace!

Everyone sighed silently in their hearts, those saints in ancient times must be nothing more than that, right?

They glanced at each other, and they both saw great excitement in each other's eyes, and it was their honor to be able to follow such a magnificent, worried about the country, and prepared for danger in times of peace!

Kong Yingda suddenly said: "No wonder His Highness attaches great importance to skilled craftsmen, and the minister is fully satisfied with His Highness's good intentions today...... At the national level, skilled craftsmen can build siege equipment, improve armor, and improve agricultural tools; In terms of individual households, it is to create beautiful goods...... These commodities created by them, once circulated in the market, can also create wealth for themselves and their country, and even more...... Moreover, this is also the way to survive without the land and live a delicious life! ”

Yang Tong nodded and said, "That's right!" But all of this needs to be based on a thriving business. And the charm of business is that it can revitalize all walks of life that are dead... And that's not enough..."

"Not enough?"

Everyone was stunned, and looked at Yang Tong with a determined look expectantly.

"Commodities are too simple, and commerce cannot prosper! And the 'Tiangong Academy' dominated by Yuwen Rutong! Some amazing masterpieces will be presented in turn! ”

"What is it?"

"Secret!"

Everyone: "......"

King Qin, you are too naughty, don't you find that you owe a beating?
