Chapter 149 Luxury
As soon as Ma Yun said this, the big guys understood what Ma Yun meant, and the emperor didn't want to be entangled, so he wanted to give Tuoba Heng a step down and give this matter. If Tuoba Heng is smart, just make some requests, if this guy is on the line and continues to chase endlessly, the emperor will need the friendship of the big guys to help him, let Tuoba Heng take a look at the general trend, see how much help is more than what is wrong, and look at the power of the masses.
Why do you want to do this, Ma Yun is also difficult. Tuoba Heng can't propose an impeachment, and Ma Yun vetoed him. Isn't this a blow to the work enthusiasm of his subordinates, besides, everyone in the officialdom is monkey spirit, seeing that Tuoba Heng has been denied one after another, he can't be thinking about something in his heart? In the face of the Northern Expedition, Ma Yun needed to maintain a stable rear and not let the attention of the big guys focus on the inside of the imperial court.
Tuoba Heng seems to be a long-tested state minister, the spirit of hitting the south wall and not looking back is shining in him, it seems that this person has no consciousness of being vetoed at all, or has practiced to the point of "let you wind and rain, I will not move". He said solemnly: "In the opinion of the ministers, luxury utensils and withering things are all flowers, and they are all people's fat and people's ointment, and all they consume are the country's financial resources. It seems that he used it for dignitaries, but in fact it has a far-reaching impact. Just like inviting guests to dinner, to give an inappropriate example, today Xu Xiang Shu Min Zhai banquet (a more luxurious hotel in Jinling City, similar to the five-star hotel in later generations) invited Fan Xiang, Fan Xiang must not go to the place next to Shu Minzhai in order to return the gift, the officials are like this, the local rich gentry are all following suit, and the world is tired! β
Tuoba Heng is always a thief and bold, and everyone knows him well, so in front of such important ministers, he took Xu Zhongya and Fan Zhen as examples, and others only smiled slightly. The party Xu Zhongya smiled indifferently, but Fan Zhen hesitated to peek at Ma Yun.
Ma Yun was a little confused when he heard this, this is going to the hotel to consume, this is not to stimulate the economy and stimulate domestic demand. How can this be considered a luxury? Isn't this right, if you have money, you should take it out and spend it, and then the money will be transferred? Isn't this the economy going to be invigorated? It doesn't have to be hard and simple.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun felt that he couldn't hide it like this as the leading big brother, he had mastered the advanced theoretical weapon, and in order to ensure that the big guys could keep up with his pace, he should give everyone a copy of this theoretical weapon. So, Ma Yun cleared his throat and said, "Huh... Ladies and gentlemen. Tuoba Aiqing's words are reasonable. Didn't the sage say: Frugality is a virtue? β
Seeing that Ma Yun had already spoken, the ministers hurriedly listened to the hadith respectfully, and after so many years, everyone had a clear idea of how much ink Ma Yun had in his stomach. In the past, as soon as Ma Yun said "what the sage said", the big guy's mind was really churning, looking for the Four Books and Five Classics, and checking what the sage's original words were. However, after a long time, everyone finally realized that Ma Yun was purely the mouth of a saint, talking about his own business. Moreover, it is not to say the original words of the saint first, and then use the topic to wave it yourself, but to directly speak in the vernacular. However, Ma Yun, the "sage said", can always say something eye-catching, and everyone is not pursuing it, but there are Lang Zhong people in Zhongshu Province who combine Ma Yun's words with the classics of the Four Books and Five Classics and give a coherent explanation. In other words, Ma Yun first said his meaning at the imperial court, and then the secretaries of Zhongshu Province linked it with the words of the sage, published it all over the world, and taught the people. The people below only looked at Di Bao, and they didn't expect that their leading brother's cultural level was not good.
"But," Ma Yun said with a change of words: "Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought about how this market prospered? If a rich man, ah, no... It is that the people of the world are diligent and thrifty every day, like an old buckle, they can only save money, they are not willing to spend money, they plant their own land, weave their own cloth, and save pots and spoons. Will Jinling City still be prosperous today? β
Ma Yun used a few rhetorical questions, felt that his momentum had been achieved, and began to talk about economic theory: "Since the market exists, there must be a reason for its existence." In my opinion, the cost is always a hundred times better than being a miser by guarding the family business. Why? First, since this person can spend, he must have some surplus wealth in the family, and if he has no surplus wealth, how can he spend it? Second, the money did not disappear in a vacuum. As a simple example, this person went to a hotel to drink, ordered chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and drank a few jugs of wine, but did the money really fall into the hotel owner's pocket? No, no. The hotel owner is at most cooking and serving wine, this chicken, duck, fish, radish and vegetables, he always has to go to the market to buy it, and he always has to go to the wine store to sell it. In this way, isn't the money for drinking and eating food distributed among hotel owners, vegetable vendors, and wine shops? If everyone doesn't go to the hotel, it's not just the hotel owner who will be damaged, but the entire industry chain. . . No, it's the vegetable sellers and the wine sellers, all of whom have lost their losses. It's easy for people to grow vegetables! Ma Yun said bitterly: "After a year of hard work, it all depends on planting some vegetables and raising some chickens and ducks in exchange for money, and now no one buys it, this is not for the people to return empty-handed." If you don't do business, there can only be one result, the poor are getting poorer, and the rich are getting richer! β
Ma Yun sighed with emotion, but his point of view is a bit of a clichΓ©, at least Fan Zhen, Zhao Pu and others are definitely not the first time they have heard of it, but the big guys still show some happy and convincing expressions. But Tuoba Heng said directly without care: "Your Majesty, this is naturally good. However, if I blindly pursue luxury and make ends meet every year, in the long run, I am afraid that I will either borrow debts from the state, or accept bribes and fish the people, no matter which of these two consequences, I am afraid that your Majesty is not willing to see! β
Sure enough, because Ma Yun has said this theory several times, Tuoba Heng knows that it seems that he has already thought of a countermeasure. Ma Yun's focus is on stimulating consumption, and Tuoba Heng's foothold is on transitional consumption. This is excessive consumption, it is definitely not good, even in the 21st century, it is easy to lead to a bubble economy, let alone the five dynasties period of the 1o century. If the official's monthly salary is spent, there is no income, and there is no food to eat, then he really has to borrow debts from the work unit, people have three urgency, and the Great Chu court must not borrow money to save the emergency.
Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, it seems that he doesn't want to discuss the matter of cavalry today, Master Tuoba is quite pestering. He pondered for a long time in his heart, this hard and simple work style must not be lost. Forget it, ask Tuoba Heng what he wants to do. Ma Yun wanted to calm things down: "Lord Tuoba, according to Aiqing's opinion, how should I deal with it?" β
The ministers immediately understood, and looked at Tuoba Heng with some envy. The emperor gave in again, this old boy is quite capable of doing it. Tuoba Heng still said with a blank face: "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister thinks that this luxury product is harmful to the world and must not be controlled by small merchants and hawkers. β
As soon as these words came out, whether it was the high-flying Ma Yun, or Xu Zhongya, Fan Zhen, Zhao Pu, Han Xizai and others were stunned, what happened? Is this Tuoba Heng confused? Isn't he suing Ma Xicao, the king of Xiangyin, for his excessive pleasure and suspicion of smuggling? How did it get involved in this luxury management?
But this person is not stupid, and he immediately understood what Tuoba Heng meant. This old thing is playing the sound of striking the west, and Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong. This Tuoba Heng planned to hold the King of Xiangyin accountable at the beginning, he must have seen the huge profits of luxury goods, for fear that the officials and gentry would get involved, so he suggested that the whole yamen come out to manage this matter, and in the future, he will only have to keep his eyes on this yamen, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else, it is effective, and he can worry about it!
In order to solve financial difficulties, Da Chu has been implementing the policy of banning salt and tea, that is, the government is responsible for the procurement of salt and tea, selling it to merchants and marketing the world. Now it's just a matter of adding this luxury. This thing already has a set of proven experience, and it stands to reason that it doesn't cost much.
The ban on salt and tea can be implemented for the people of the world, and this luxury is not available to the poor. Fan Zhen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is not appropriate at this time, this is to compete with the people for profit!" For hundreds of years, gold and jade have been made and sold by workshops for their own purposes, with different characteristics and different values, and now they are suddenly taken over to the imperial court, so how should they be priced? β
This is a problem, the same quality of jade, famous and general apprentice craft, the price must be different, if there is a unified management of the government, then... Then the government is a bit of a Pacific police, and the management is too wide. And the wider the management, the greater the chance of corruption, and the more difficult the life of the ordinary people!
After listening to Fan Zhen's words, Ma Yun also calmed down from the joy of the initial increase in revenue. Fan Zhen makes sense, luxury goods are largely handicrafts, and the price of these handicrafts is not easy to determine.
"Your Majesty, the minister does not refer to gold and silver utensils, but to products such as silk and ceramics that are more concentrated. These things can be centrally managed like salt for the benefit of the people of the world. Tuoba Heng was definitely thoughtful, and as soon as Fan Zhen objected, he immediately had a new argument.
