Chapter 518: The Pros and Cons of the Rise of the Shang Jia (First Update)
Ying Gao was impassioned in his study, describing the need for change and the determination to change.
Ying Zhenggao sat at the top, thinking about the feasibility of Ying Gao's words.
Today's conversation in the study is destined to set off boundless waves in the Great Qin government and the opposition, and the world's businessmen will be high-minded from now on, and the world's corporal clan will go farther and farther away from him.
In the end, it was the other way around!
Between them, there was not much room for turnaround, especially after Yinggao established the Great Qin School Palace.
There is no difficulty, it is just the beginning of the Great Qin Academy, and it does not threaten them, once the Great Qin Academy Palace grows up completely, there will inevitably be a battle between the two sides.
A battle of life and death!
And now Yinggao mentions the promotion of the status of businessmen and encourages businessmen, which naturally moves the interests of many people.
"Lone first recognizes the benefits you said, but have you thought about the consequences of not letting the merchant do big?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were full of solemnity, he got up from his position, walked down, stared at Ying Gao with his eyes, and said.
"Money can be channeled, this sentence is definitely not just talking!"
"Once the businessmen have strong economic strength, they will inevitably seek political status and will inevitably interfere in the government's affairs."
"The duty of the imperial court is not to make profits, but to maintain social fairness and justice and protect the common people, while the goal of merchants is to pursue personal interests and try to break free from the constraints of laws, morals, and beliefs that hinder their pursuit of profit."
"Once the court is full of businessmen, the nature of the court will change, and the public authorities will evolve into their own profit-making tools, social fairness and justice will be threatened, and the interests of the people will be eroded and harmed."
"The combination of businessmen and power inevitably leads to the corruption of power and evil ......"
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng's expression was solemn, and his tone became low: "It's not that Lone hasn't thought about change, but the price of change is something that Daqin can't afford." ”
"If this demon is released and the Great Qin Court is in turmoil, Lone would rather seal it!"
Hearing this, Yinggao's pupils shrank, he didn't expect that all this he thought of, Ying Zheng and the others had already thought about it.
It's just that they think that the variables are too big and the risks are too great, and they have to do it in the most conservative way.
At this moment, Yinggao also understood that no matter what era it is, as long as it is a person standing at the top, no one is given for nothing.
He knew in his heart that Ying Zheng's worries were not wrong, on the contrary, this worry would be proved right in the future.
Historically, with the development of commerce and the improvement of the social status of merchants, merchants intervened a lot in the politics of feudal countries, which became a very prominent social problem.
From the perspective of the whole process of historical development, merchant intervention is undoubtedly a manifestation of social progress, but due to the limitations of the times, merchant intervention has brought an extremely negative impact on the society of the Song Dynasty, which directly aggravated the political chaos of the two Song dynasties.
Under the impact and sweep of commercial development, all social strata have been involved in business and competed to do business, forming a business boom in the whole society.
As a result of the business of all social strata, the contacts between the merchants and them have become more and more frequent, the hierarchical boundaries have been increasingly extinguished, and even the original antagonistic relationship has turned to mutual dependence and mutual use.
Among them, in particular, a large number of officials are engaged in business, which has the greatest impact.
It directly led to the combination or collusion of officials and businessmen, and was an important factor in promoting the intervention of merchants in the Song Dynasty.
The rise of the social status of the merchants and their acquisition of the legal status of Qi people undoubtedly paved the way for their intervention in the country's politics.
The matter of goods and colonization is urgent, and the matter of business is important, which is a prerequisite for businessmen to enter the government and participate in politics.
The thought flickered in his heart, Ying Gao knew in his heart that Ying Zheng didn't know about these things at all, but Ying Zheng was still so keenly aware of this, nine times out of ten it came from the terrifying pressure of Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei.
Although he knew the drawbacks, Yinggao did not intend to give up, he knew in his heart that once he gave up, the social structure of Daqin would be crippled forever.
As soon as he thought of this, Ying Gao said in a quiet tone towards Ying Zheng, and said: "My father had four people in ancient times: scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants. ”
"If a scholar is diligent in his studies, he can be knighted; If you are diligent in the field, you can gather crops; If you are diligent in your skills, you can easily eat and drink; If you are diligent in bartering, you can accumulate goods. ”
"These four are the business of the people of the country, and there have been no exceptions since the birth of the people. What's more, if the business is not good, the goods will not be sold, and if the goods are not sold, they will be cheap, and if they are cheap, they will hurt the peasants. ”
"Agriculture is the foundation of the country, but merchants are also of great benefit to the imperial court!"
Speaking of this, Ying Gao smiled, he spoke, and said: "If businessmen want to develop together, they must have complete laws as a supervision guarantee!" ”
"Although the merchants are terrifying, the imperial court can designate a law: economic law or commercial law, and restrict it."
"It is necessary to ensure that all the actions of the merchants are within the scope of the law, and in the Great Qin, the imperial court is the only one."
"What's more, my father has the Qin Sword in his hand, any businessman who doesn't follow the rules, if he kills him, there will always be someone who will follow the rules!"
Although Yinggao is not shallow in strategy, and even calculates ordinary people, it is easy, but sometimes, he prefers to solve problems with violence.
Because killing is the easiest way to sober up businessmen!
Yinggao remembers the sentence in Capital, other threats do not work at all, only death, only butcher's knife.
"Legislate to protect businessmen and at the same time to restrict them?"
After taking a sip of tea, Ying Zheng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly found that Ying Gao's proposal was very likely to be operated.
Great Qin was originally governed by law, in Great Qin, Qin law is supreme, starting from filial piety, until now, Qin law is clear, the law is not noble, and the king is not in vain.
An atmosphere of law-abiding has been formed, and once the economic law appears, businessmen have only one way to obey and obey.
At this moment, Ying Zheng seemed to see the avenue of one day, which was enough to make him feel hope. For Ying Zheng, if he can control the businessman in his hands, he is naturally willing to improve the status of the businessman.
It's not that Yingzheng doesn't want to change, but that he changed this matter, so that the previous Yingzheng couldn't see the benefits at all.
Now after Yinggao's words, Yingzheng saw the benefits of horror, so he was moved.
"This matter needs to be thought about carefully, it is related to the national policy of Great Qin, and it can't be done arbitrarily!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng's mind completely changed, and he suddenly found that in the process of cultivating Chidao, it was profitable.
Therefore, let Yinggao undertake it alone, he was not very willing.
Because Yingzheng knows Yinggao's vision, as long as it is a business that Yinggao can look at, nine times out of ten it is the type that makes money every day.
As the king of Great Qin, Yingzheng is also very poor, and his life is tight.
