This early morning meeting ended by the end of the day.

But this early morning meeting released several extremely important signals:

His Majesty did not alienate Fu Xiaoguan because of his identity, but reused him even more!

So from this point of view, as long as Fu Xiaoguan does not leave the Yu Dynasty, he will definitely have a great future.

Of course, if he leaves the Yu Dynasty, he will be the king of one of the Wu Dynasty.

Therefore, in any case, we should have a good relationship with Fu Xiaoguan, which is the common belief of many officials.

The tax reduction policy to boost commerce has been clearly issued in the world, which shows that the conservatives led by Qin Huizhi have been completely defeated, so we must take advantage of this opportunity to let the family or the businessmen under it take action-

I heard that Fu Xiaoguan's Xishan industry has now been launched in the second county of Pingling Quyi, and this kid has run to the front again, so he has to hurry up and keep up.

After all, only six counties and counties in the Great Yu Dynasty have been included in the pilot, and when the news spreads all over the world, the merchants of the world are flocking to it, if it is late, I am afraid that I will not be able to drink a sip of soup.

The most excited of these officials was Li Cai.

He is now in his early forties, and he has been in the Ministry of Household Finance for 20 years before he has become the right attendant of the Ministry of Households.

From the bones, he is a businessman, his father takes care of the largest Baolong money village in the Yu Dynasty, his elder brother Li family takes care of Xinglongtang, the largest pawnshop in Shangjing, and the third brother Li Wan takes care of Yuding Lou, the largest jade business in Shangjing, and the fourth brother Li Guan is also the big shopkeeper of Huichun Hall.

For Fu Xiaoguan, Li Cai already knew him when he was old last year, when Fu Xiaoguan first came to Beijing, because of the disaster relief policy, His Majesty made him an idle official from the fifth grade, but he let him walk in the household department.

In Li Cai's view, His Majesty has already released a signal that Fu Xiaoguan will definitely be of great use in the future.

I really didn't read it wrong, and now Fu Xiaoguan has risen and is unstoppable!

He actually wanted to meet his father...... Thinking that it was because of the New Deal, he wanted to ask his father about the money in and out or the dispatch.

Of course, this matter had to be done, so he retreated and hurried back to the house.

And Fu Xiaoguan was left behind by His Majesty again after retiring from the dynasty, and went to the imperial study with His Majesty, accompanied by Yan Beixi and Dong Kangping-

Two fathers-in-law, one father-in-law, his father...... Fu Xiaoguan followed behind, a little apprehensive in his heart, could it be because the wedding banquet was too casual?

He naturally thought too much, in the imperial study, Emperor Xuan sat in front of the dragon platform, looked at Fu Xiaoguan, and asked: "I and Yan Xiang think that we will increase the number of pilot counties by 20 at the beginning of next year, but Dong Shangshu thinks it is inappropriate, and feels that it is too hasty, so I ask you, what do you think?" ”

Fu Xiaoguan was stunned, this is a special offense, you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want!

But he thought for a moment, but he still said what he thought in his heart, "I think that I should compromise!" ”

Emperor Xuan was stunned and asked, "How to find a compromise?" ”

"I think ten new counties can be added next year."

Yan Beixi frowned, and asked suspiciously: "From the point of view of Yao County, there is no problem with this strategy, from what you have done in Pingling and Quyi, this strategy not only solves the problem of the people in the two places to survive the winter, but also lays the foundation for a good momentum next year, why can't you increase more?" ”

Xia Guan believes that this is because only Xishan is currently operating in these three counties, which does not reflect the disadvantages of this policy. Today, His Majesty has decreed that merchants of a certain size will be exempted from taxes for three years...... Your Majesty, Yan Zai, and Father-in-law Dong, you wait and see, and then there will be many businessmen who will go to these six places to invest on a large scale. ”

"Isn't that a good thing? This is so that these businessmen can move! ”

"Back to Yanzai, it's right to let them move, but don't underestimate the businessmen, our supervision can't keep up, they will find loopholes in them and use them like crazy."

Emperor Xuan frowned, supervising ...... I don't think about it yet.

Yan Jae pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of loopholes will appear?" ”

"For example, I invested 100,000 taels of silver in Pingling and recruited 100 workers, which meets the conditions for tax exemption for three years, right? Pingling County Ya naturally has to give me tax exemption, but at this time you found me, you are my father-in-law's father, said that you want to sell the products you produce through the workshop under my name, I must only agree, your products are sold out like this, and you get the preferential treatment of full tax exemption, but you did not invest a penny in Pingling. ”

"Is this a loophole?"

Yan Beixi was stunned for a moment, he immediately thought of a lot, not to mention the whole country, that is, if the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River avoided taxes through this method, the tax losses of the imperial court would be unbearable, and if the merchants of the whole country were like this...... Where will there be how much tax revenue to speak of next year?

Emperor Xuan looked at Yan Beixi, and the two glanced at each other, only then did they understand that there were such big drawbacks.

"This is only one aspect...... "Fu Xiaoguan spoke again, "there are other aspects, such as whether the investment structure of each place is reasonable?" ”

"To give you a simple example, I have set up many workshops in Pingling, which require 40,000 people. Today, there are about 80,000 laborers in Pingling, but we can't let all of them work in the workshop, because the fields still have to be cultivated. ”

"Then it just so happens that I recruited 40,000 peasants from Pingling, and the remaining 40,000 are engaged in agricultural production, which is just right. However, if a large number of merchants came in and more workshops were opened, the number of workers increased greatly...... The inevitable result is that the fields are barren – people want to go to the workshop to earn money, and who wants to wait for the crops? ”

"When we do this everywhere, it will only take three to five years for us to see that the countryside in many places will gradually wither, and the longer it goes, the more time passes, and even many villages will disappear."

"These peasants who went to work in the workshops did earn the money in front of them, and their living standards did improve, but ...... When business goes down one day and they want to go back to the countryside, they find themselves homeless. ”

"If you take a long-term view, even if business has been thriving, their descendants have also embarked on this path, the workshops in this county are full, they will go to other counties, they will leave their hometowns for several years, countless villages will disappear, the price of food and the price of necessities will inevitably rise, and these second generations of farmers will never be able to return to the countryside - they do not even have the basic skills of farming, they have become accustomed to the rhythm of making quick money, and no one wants to go back to serve the barren land."

"In addition, there is disorderly investment, which will only lead to the similarity of products, and you and I will weave cloth to make clothes...... In the end, who will sell the clothes in the market? ”

"Therefore, what the imperial court needs to do now is not to add as many new pilots, but to avoid all the commercial drawbacks that can be expected, which needs to be regulated in advance!"
