Bianjing City is the best place in the world, and Zhao Gou has asked people to go to Jiangning to engage in construction, but it will take a long, long time to build an imperial city and its countless supporting buildings.

Therefore, Bianjing City has not yet felt the slightest impact of Jiangning.

It is still the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world.

Countless businessmen and nobles from the north and south of the river poured here, and the people here are not bad for money, and they can even be described as generally well-off.

Because the forbidden army in the capital has been abolished? Without those "generals" who were lying on the forbidden army and drinking the blood of soldiers, all walks of life in Bianjing City rushed to a great impact.

After all, there is so much less cheap labor.

However, the number of dignitaries and dignitaries in the city has not decreased, nor has the number of wealthy gentry and merchants, and the garrison has become so numerous. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the prices in the city have skyrocketed in all aspects.

The biggest beneficiary of the development and prosperity of the service industry is the small citizen class in the city.

In just a few years, the citizen class in Bianjing quickly recovered, and their revival promoted the consumption and prosperity of the city on the other hand.

The New Year's Festival is the time of the year when people's consumption explodes.

Looking at the crowded market, Zhao thought of the holidays in the future.

"The four elements of the world, Shi agriculture and industry and commerce, all focus on the taxi, followed by the agriculture as the most expensive. It is only because the scholars and businessmen rely on agriculture for food, so many people think that agriculture is the foundation of the world, and the workers are the end. ”

What Zhao Gou said was very familiar to the two princes, isn't this what they said in the newspaper.

Newspapers, as an 'open' platform, can easily stir up controversy, as the previous few sentences were. Publish a few articles on the page about the concept of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, which can immediately trigger a large number of people's rebuttals, and then with a little hype, a big debate that affects countless people will begin.

With gimmicks, the newspaper's attention naturally increases. At the same time, the right of public opinion was also firmly grasped by the newspapers in this great debate.

"You have been to the grasslands, you have seen poverty and bow horses, you have also seen iron guns and armor and the prosperity of the market, tell me for yourself, is the business of industry really so unimportant?"

Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ying shook their heads without thinking about it.

Advanced technology equals power. Zhao Gou has already begun to instill in them about this, and after a few years of subtle change, the two dolls just don't understand the big truth, and they also know what they wear, eat, live, and play, all of which are 'business and commerce'.

Without commerce, is rawhide more comfortable to wear than muslin satin, or is dead dough bread more delicious than delicacies? How can I eat the southern fruits attacked by the imperial merchants, and how can I eat delicious fruits such as lychees, mangoes, and mangosteens?

After a trip to the grassland, the importance of industry and commerce becomes even clearer.

The poverty of the people of the grassland, the rudimentary armament of the Saibei rangers, the richness of the Great Song Dynasty and the sharpness of the armor form the most perfect contrast.

"The child thinks that Shinong, industry and commerce are the foundation of the world, and it doesn't matter whether it's up or down."

The child thinks so. There is nothing wrong with heavy agriculture, but it is not necessary to suppress business. Looking at the prosperity of Bianjing, you can know the importance of businessmen. ”

Zhao Ying said first, and Zhao Xuan later said that for them who are not very old, such an answer is qualified. Zhao Gou's eyes blinked, thinking that his choice was right.

Zhao Xuan's personality is really better than Zhao Ming, relatively stable, and it is really a very good characteristic for an emperor who is about to ascend the throne at a young age.

"Not bad. The two of you are young, and it's not bad to have such an experience. As the saying goes, there is no stability without agriculture, no work without wealth, and no business without life! In the future, you will all be the ones who want to reign on the side, and you must engrave it in your heart. ”

"Business travel is not good, goods cannot pass through the north and south, and things cannot be used to the fullest, so the people cannot get their benefits."

"If the people are not profitable, they will not be rich, if the people are not rich, the country will not be taxed, if the country is not taxed, the army will not be strong, and if the army is not strong, the world will be in danger. It can be seen from this that the flourishing of the trend of valuing commerce is really an important part of the country's prosperity and strengthening the people. ”

"Remember, the first thing in the building of a nation is to pay taxes. Whoever hides the taxes of the whole country and does not pay them will be the number one evil in the world, the first major harm of my Zhao family. No matter how much the merchants value wealth over righteousness, as long as they do business and pay taxes, it is the first class of goodness in the world. ”

What Zhao Gou is most afraid of is that after his death, Zhao Xuan, who succeeded to the throne, was distorted by the courtiers who were born as scholars and doctors around him. Children are uncertain, no matter how good they look now, no one can tell what they will become when they grow up.

The only thing he knows for sure is that the class in power is necessarily greedy.

Through the ages, from the aristocracy to the family gatekeepers, from the family lords to the gentry and bureaucrats, it is natural for them to seek a certain authority for their own welfare.

History tells him that when China's feudal society entered the Song Dynasty, the local clans and powerful economies that had mastered China's local resources for thousands of years were completely disintegrated, and the imperial examination system matured, giving birth to a new class of bureaucrats and gentry.

These people use their ruling power and influence to seek political, financial and tax benefits for this group. From Zhao Song not easily killing civil officials, to Zhu Ming's gentry not having to pay grain and taxes, that is a very obvious process.

During the Jiajing period, the civil official group legally formed a system of "the gentry did not need to pay grain". "The current Jiake Jingguan is a product, 10,000 acres of free land, and the following decreases, and the eighth grade is free of 2,700 acres. Foreign officials halved. Six-tenths of this product is exempt; The maximum amount of land can reach 3,350 acres, and the field of 1,200 acres can be 1,200 acres; Eighty acres of students and prisoners. It seems that there is a fixed number of taxes that can be exempted from each grade, but the base is set at the beginning, so when it is implemented, there is basically no need to pay taxes.

If by the end of the Ming Dynasty, how poor Chongzhen was and how shameless the civil officials could be, many people knew clearly.

When the poor festival is seen, one by one.

The shamelessness of the literati, Zhao Gou never minded speculating from the worst and worst point of view.

From now on, for the next nearly a year, he will focus on instilling one truth in his two sons - the words of the reader cannot be trusted.

When his army swept the world in the south, how many people in the world scolded him endlessly, and criticized him from the perspective of morality and character. It seems that Da Song Zhen is about to be taken to the bottom of the abyss by him.

But now looking at the world of the Great Song Dynasty, not mentioning the outstanding martial arts to the outside world, only talking about the people's livelihood in China and the rapid recovery of vitality in the world, countless people are surprised.

From eating bran and drinking scarcely all year round and not knowing the taste of meat, to now being full and clothed, and even many people have savings at home.

Who would have believed that change would be so fast without seeing it with their own eyes?
