Chapter 270: Heavy agriculture does not suppress business

In fact, Li Yang had already discussed with Fu Zhu and Tian Feng in private, and Li Yang proposed the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture in front of everyone, and then Fu Zhu and Tian Feng threw bricks and jade, and made the land reform law public in front of everyone.

Li Yang and Fu Zhu did this in order to test the tone of several important ministers in Youzhou.

You must know that several people here are Li Yang's henchmen, at least in Li Yang's opinion, if even they oppose Li Yang's political propositions, then Li Yang can only find another way, or go sideways, or directly choose to give up.

Judging from the current situation, the reactions and performances of several masterminds have made Li Yang quite satisfied.

Here we have to say that although several family patriarchs have shown a condescending attitude towards Li Yang, if this matter touches their vital interests, they will still choose to stand on the opposite side of Li Yang without hesitation.

Because the ideological concept of the ancients was based on the family, the country and the world, in their hearts, the interests of the family were above everything else.

Compared with others, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu are Li Yang's die-hard supporters.

Needless to say, Jia Xu is because he has no choice.

Jia Xu is a smart person, he knows Li Yang's character very well, so he can only choose to tie himself firmly to Li Yang's chariot, otherwise he will definitely die a miserable death.

In fact, Li Yang never thought of implementing the land reform law immediately, his move was just to test and confirm the attitude of Cai Yong and others, and whether they were loyal to him, nothing more!

Li Yang was very satisfied with the initial test results, and the next thing that needs to be paid attention to is who would be bold enough to divulge his land reform method to others.

At this moment, there were only more than ten people in the front hall, except for the three brothers Li Yang and the four masterminds such as Fu Zhu, there were only a few patriarchs of the family who were present.

In order to do a good job of confidentiality, Li Yang had already kicked out all the idle people.

Li Yang and Haw Par will not dismantle their own platform, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu are also worth believing, as for the other family patriarchs, it is really difficult to say, which is also one of the reasons why Li Yang decided to test them in advance.

Because, behind the family has an extremely large and prominent family power, such a person is the most fearful, and it is easy to form a big tail!

To tell the truth, the patriarchs present were all smart people, and they would never be so confused as to chew the root of their tongues everywhere.

Having said that, as a ruler, Li Yang also had to guard against it, because "being prepared for danger in times of peace" is a mature manifestation of a ruler.

The proceedings continued.

"The matter of the Ministry of Agriculture has been agreed!" Li Yang said!

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Hmm!"

Li Yang nodded and said, "Next, let's discuss things related to commerce!"

Businessmen are good at profit-seeking, are mercenary, yes, since ancient times there have been heavy agriculture and suppress business measures, but in my opinion, if you can effectively control the business and trade matters, not only can bring a lot of convenience to the people, but also can bring considerable taxes to Youzhou, which is a move to benefit the country and the people! There should be too much inhibition! ”

As soon as Li Yang's words fell, Cai Yong immediately stood up, he shook his head slowly, and said: "Qi Yu Junhou, businessmen are cunning, and there is no bottom line at all, small businessmen and small riches are easy to say, but for those wealthy businessmen, the imperial court is extremely difficult to control, they bribe and corrupt officials, and do almost all evil in the township, they are really the moths of the country, and the prince must not guard against it!" ”

Li Yang frowned slightly, raised his eyes and saw that several people were nodding, and he thought in his heart: "It seems that the profession of businessman has indeed not left a good impression on people!" ”

Although Li Yang thinks so, he also knows very clearly that even if there is no businessman, officials should be greedy and greedy, because greed is the nature of human beings, as for the collusion between officials and businessmen to bring disaster to the township, then there is really nothing to say, this pot businessman has a very stable back, and it has been the case since ancient times.

Li Yang opened his mouth in a deep voice, and said: "My original intention is to value agriculture but not to suppress business, the government can provide some convenient conditions for businessmen, and then the imperial court will send officials to strictly control them, at that time, it is necessary to introduce relevant policies and laws for business and other matters, and the laws for businessmen must be strict and heavy, this law is mainly aimed at those businessmen who evade taxes, bribe officials, bring disaster to the township and are not benevolent to the rich, and if necessary, the law of joint sitting can also be implemented!" At that time, we can first grasp a few typical examples from the businessmen who are not benevolent to the rich and deal with a batch of them severely, so that it can also play a warning role. ”

Han Bao was very keen to grasp several key points in Li Yang's words, so he asked, "What kind of convenience does the government need to provide for businessmen?" Who is responsible for the supervision of merchants? What is the law of strictness and then weight? ”

Li Yang patiently answered for everyone one by one, and said: "First of all: postpone the curfew time for half an hour, support the people to engage in commercial activities, encourage merchants in Youzhou to engage in friendly trade with merchants in other state capitals, and if necessary, the government can also send people to protect the merchants who sell valuable goods along the way!" This is the convenience provided by the imperial court for merchants!

Secondly: This matter can be handed over to the Dasi Nong to be responsible, and the imperial court will withdraw the nongsang from the Dasi Nong, and then give it the right to govern commercial affairs, and the two will offset each other, I believe that the Dasi Nong will understand the good intentions of the imperial court, and is willing to cooperate and compromise for this!

Finally: The law of strictness and then emphasis is that while the imperial court ordered the great priest to strictly supervise the merchants from the inside, it also ordered the three legal divisions to work together with the supervision department to strictly restrain them from the punishment and supervision behavior, and if any businessmen dare to violate the law and discipline, it is not too late to deal with them strictly!

The law that Ben Hou said is strict and then heavy, which is to first strictly supervise, and then impose heavy punishment! ”

Han Bao bowed his head slightly and said, "I thought this method was feasible!" What do you think? ”

Han Bao looked at the people present with burning eyes, wanting to ask for their opinions and opinions!

The four masterminds were not immediately perverted, they needed some time to think about it and slowly digest Li Yang's proposal.

After a long time!

The four of them nodded to each other, looked at each other and smiled, and then Cheng Yu spoke on behalf of everyone: "Weichen thinks that this method is feasible for the lord, but its specific content still needs to be sorted out and improved by the ministers, and I also ask the lord to give me some time to prepare, and after the ministers and others will sort it out into a book, and then submit it to the lord in the form of an official document for reading!" ”

Li Yang smiled and nodded, and said, "What Zhongde said is extremely true, you will first compile the Ministry of Agriculture and commercial affairs into a book, and then submit them together!" ”
