Chapter 302 Dispute
Chapter 302 After hearing what Qin Huaidao said, Eldest Sun Wuji was very proud and said that as long as His Majesty wanted it, he would give it.
"Really? Then you Zhao Guogong's mansion, can you rely on those fields to sustain? You Zhao Guogong can sustain it, what do those who open restaurants make a living rely on?
As a left-hand servant, you are not responsible for the people at all, you are a flattering and bully! Narrow-minded, how to govern the people? Qin Huaidao said to the eldest grandson Wuji in a very stern tone.
"Then according to what you said, if you don't contribute the technology of the brick factory, it's for the people? You don't care if the people live or die! Eldest Sun Wuji stood there, looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Let me ask you, if I didn't have a brick factory, what would I have done with this disaster? Do you want to save it, is there any other way? Qin Huaidao stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
"Now there is! There is a brick factory, why can't you take it out! Eldest Sun Wuji also stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"I still have the technology to increase grain production, I still have the materials to improve the people's protection from the cold, I also have the materials to improve the convenience of transportation for the people, and I also have the technology to improve the army's combat! Do I dare to take it out now? If I take it out, it is a contribution, who dares to continue researching? Qin Huaidao stood there and questioned the eldest grandson Wuji,
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji was staring at Qin Huaidao.
And the other ministers also looked at Qin Huaidao, and they now knew what Qin Huaidao meant!
"R&D has no profits, no profits to be made, who will go to R&D? Well? Your eldest grandson Wuji is willing to do such a thing? In my Hu Guogong Mansion, there are high-quality delicacies and high-quality tea!
If I wasn't Hu Guogong, I was just an ordinary person, I needed to live on these, if I was like you, and all the good things were taken away, then, who would go to research and development?
The imperial court can only collect taxes, not compete with the people! Qin Huaidao stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, and when the eldest grandson Wuji heard it, he looked at Qin Huaidao.
"Pepin, don't say it!" Li Jing still pulled Qin Huaidao and said,
Li Ji was also anxious, this place is too close to the Ganlu Palace, if His Majesty knew that Qin Huaidao said this, what would he think, they are all military generals, for Qin Huaidao's those, some of them don't understand, but Fang Xuanling understands, Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia, Tang Jian They all understand, and there are many officials of the family who also understand.
"Zhao Guogong, I am willing to donate the brick factory, for the sake of the people, I can donate it, and I also have the ability to make money, this small profit, I don't look at it,
However, this is not how things are done, I can take the initiative to donate, if you don't say it today, I will mention it myself, but if you bring up this matter with other purposes, it is not right, you are derelict in your duty!
If I don't bring it up today and I don't hand it over to Your Majesty, it will be my dereliction of duty, my loss of morality, I don't put the people of the world in my heart, I don't put Your Majesty in my heart! Qin Huaidao stood there and continued to scare at the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Pepin!" At this moment, Your Majesty has come out of the Hall of Manna,
The other people also gave up their hands to His Majesty, and so did Qin Huaidao, he knew that Li Shimin must have heard it, and he also deliberately said it here, these things must be explained.
"Boping, Jingde, Biting Jin, Jingde, Pharmacist, Mao Gong, Xuanling, Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia, Tang Jian, Zhang Liang, come to the study!" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and opened his mouth to take a roll call.
When Li Jing heard it, he couldn't help but look at Qin Huaidao worriedly, while the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile.
Soon, they arrived at the side of the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin sat on it, let them sit down, the prince was also sitting here, Li Tai, Li Zhi were also there.
"I heard what you said outside just now, Pepin, you have an opinion on this matter!" Li Shimin sat there, looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"The minister has no opinion on the technology of the brick factory, even if Zhao Guogong doesn't say it, the minister will say it, but this matter shouldn't be Zhao Guogong!" Qin Huaidao stood up and said to Li Shimin.
"Well, I heard that, what you're worried about is that I'll take all the workshops in the future!" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"It's not that I'm worried that Your Majesty will collect it, but the ministers below will suggest this, Your Majesty, the ministers have just said that the court is to collect taxes, and you can't compete with the people for profit, and the court also needs to protect those inventions and inventors,
Let them know that if they invent good things, it will be beneficial, and protecting them will also bring great benefits to the court! Qin Huaidao stood there and continued.
"Tell me!" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and said.
"Your Majesty, if the court protects them, then they dare to invent them, and the things they invent can be sold, and the court can also collect taxes,
And when other people see it, they will also learn, they think that if they invent good things and can change their family, they will do things with their hearts, so that more people will invent good things and come out, so that the court will be able to receive more taxes.
On the contrary, when the people see that the things they invent are taken away by the imperial court, they will not want to invent them, and the court will not be able to collect taxes at that time.
During the Zhenguan period, the tax revenue of the court did not change much, the growth was less than 3%, and this year, the minister dared to say that the growth would definitely exceed 10%, if the growth of 10% was maintained, then the living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty would improve! Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Shimin.
"What you just said is just from the perspective of a businessman! Merchants will only suck the blood of the people! Eldest Sun Wuji stared at Qin Huaidao and said.
"Hey, a dignified left servant shoots, it's so blind!" Qin Huaidao couldn't help but sigh when he heard the eldest grandson Wuji say this.
"You!" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard him say this, he was quite angry.
"Pepin, speak well!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao.
"The businessman said that there is something bad, but it depends on what kind of businessman, such as reselling goods, is indeed not engaged in raw productive labor, but it cannot be denied that they have made great contributions to Datang, if it were not for them, how would Datang's materials circulate to the sky? How does Datang collect their taxes!
There is also a kind of businessman, such as a minister, who makes money from production, and doesn't paper matter? Aren't books important? Also, can those porcelains and mirrors improve the living standards of the people? Qin Huaidao stood there and asked the eldest grandson Wuji.
"That's to improve the living standards of the rich, ordinary people, or is it still the same!" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Qin Huaidao and pushed over.
"Really? Don't you know that production requires the hiring of workers? Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, you go and inquire about how many people have been employed in the Ministry of Industry Workshop recently, and what is the price!
More than 10,000 people are employed in the Ministry of Industry Workshop, and the minimum wage will not be less than 10 yuan a day, and food must be included! 300 yuan a month, more than three times a year, three times the concept of money, before the vast majority of people in Chang'an City would not earn more than two dollars a year, now one person can earn three money,
In addition, on the paper mill side, His Royal Highness King Jin, you can tell them how much their wages are! Qin Huaidao stood there and spoke.
"The wages of workers in the paper mill are about 10 yuan if they don't work overtime, and if they work overtime, they may exceed 20 yuan!" Li Zhi heard it, stood up and replied.
"When those people have money, they will send their children to school, they will buy paper and books, and there will be a virtuous circle, and the same is true for the brick factory.
Those who work for 8 months can basically earn three yuan each, so there are a lot of children studying in Qinzhuang and other Zhuangzi in the Guogong Mansion, because the family can afford to provide for it! Qin Huaidao stood there and continued to say to Li Shimin,
Li Shimin heard it and nodded, knowing that this must be true.
"In addition, because of the Royal Supermarket, Paper Mill, Distillery, Printing Factory, Brick Factory, these factories have paid at least 220,000 yuan in taxes this year, and Datang's annual tax revenue is only 3 million yuan, which brings nearly 7 points of growth to Datang! Can this money be used to improve a lot of things? Qin Huaidao stood there and said to them,
"Also, the ink factory belongs to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry over the supermarket is sixty percent, which can increase the income of about 300,000 yuan this year, and it is another growth of one percent.
That is to say, this year's income growth of the court, at least two percent, if it is maintained, it will be able to break through 4 million yuan of income next year, and it is possible that you will exceed 5 million yuan of income the year after tomorrow. Qin Huaidao stood there, staring at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
"If you want to take over those factories, you can, I dare say, the paper mills, the printing mills will lose money in a few years, and the royal supermarket will be closed in a year at most!" Qin Huaidao stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and said.
"Hmph, alarmist!" The eldest grandson said unscrupulously.
"Your Majesty, please resign from the position of the squire of the Ministry of Works, no longer supervise the affairs of the Ministry of Works, no longer manage the affairs of the Royal Supermarket, within one year, if the Royal Supermarket does not lose money, the Minister is willing to offer all the family property,
If you lose money, please ask the eldest grandson Wuji to resign from the court and hand over all the family wealth! Qin Huaidao arched his hand to His Majesty and said in a very serious tone.
"Pepin, don't let this happen!" When Li Shimin heard this, he was shocked, staring at Qin Huaidao and shouting.
"Dare to bet?" Qin Huaidao stared at the eldest grandson Wuji very harshly, today he is iron-hearted, to correct their idea that businessmen are all bloodsuckers, and think that businessmen are all inferior people Qin Huaidao must change.
"Pepin, don't be impulsive!" Li Jing also pulled Qin Huaidao and shouted.
"Uncle, my nephew is not impulsive, my nephew just wants to tell him that a virtuous circle could have been formed, why do you have to fish with all your might!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Jing very sadly and said.
