Sun Xiangfu's study is not a close person, and it is not allowed to enter, and Ma Zhou is one of the few people who can enter Sun Xiangfu's study to talk about things.

"The lower officials have come to ask the governor for their guilt." After entering the study, Ma Zhou bowed with a look of shame.

"King Bin doesn't need to be like this, with your grade, although you can enter and exit the center, but the power you hold is limited after all, in the future, you still have more communication with the generals, and you need to borrow strength when you can borrow strength, sometimes deal with those family members, and fight with them to fight wits and war, if you choose to solve it by force."

Force is the easiest way to make people obey the rules, Ma Zhou has the foundation of military general relations, and his relationship is not low, and he is one of the main generals guarding Chang'an, if Ma Zhou invited him to settle those bandits and bandits who occupied the mine, it is estimated that it would not have been delayed until now, and the auction of the mine has not yet been held.

"What the governor said is that the lower officials only know today that it is not easy for the governor to deal with them, and today, in addition to asking for sin, I also want to invite you to Weinan to have a look, I am afraid that only you can help make suggestions, so that the construction of factories in various industries can be accelerated."

"Hehe, I just said that you won't borrow strength, so come to me right away to borrow strength, okay! Your Majesty will return to Chang'an the day after tomorrow, and I will have a day tomorrow to have a look, but it is hard to say whether I can really help, and in addition, when Your Majesty comes back, I will lend you four people, and they may be able to help you a lot. ”

Sun Xiangfu said that it was Ma Lin Zhang Quan and Wang Fu Wang Gui brothers who came back with Li Shimin's big team, although the four of them were born ordinary craftsmen, but they were the first batch of people in Sun Xiangfu's hands to start various technical research, like Marseille, Yu Jie, the rising stars of the farm, were led by them to embark on the road of technical research.

Now they are good at solving various production problems, and after being in charge of the manufacturing industry for a period of time in Shanyang, they have also made great progress in management.

Although Ma Zhou is smart, he is a scholar after all, and he is a poor scholar with a relatively narrow knowledge, and the four of them often make some technical suggestions and suggestions on the side, which can help Ma Zhou solve many problems.

In this way, the lower officials thanked the governor. It's just ······ mine."

"The matter of the mine, I have discussed with Lu Gong to solve, in two days, you can get the list, the auction matter, you can follow Shanyang's set on the line, the agreement for the mine must be implemented, without knowing the specific reserves of the mine, you can formulate a ladder price, divided into different metals, every 10,000 stone ore mined, and every million stone ore mined, must set a price, in a special period, you must maintain more than 70% of the payment, with ore and the court settlement, other periods, can be settled with the court agreement.

As for the local people who organize their own mines, the conditions can be relaxed, and the smelters will immediately come to the door to receive the goods, and they only need to be responsible for opening the ore from the mines.

For those places where there are mineral resources but no one exploits them, the contract system can be adopted, that is, for every certain amount of ore handed over, we give them a certain amount of wages, and any businessmen and large households who have the ability to organize a large number of laborers can contract labor. The more they open, the more they earn, so that we can get all kinds of ores as soon as possible, and when the required ores are enough, we can stop at any time. ”

"The talent of the governor is better than the officials, and in an instant, there are many good plans that can solve the problem, and the officials admire them."

"Don't praise me, if your problem is solved, go back to work! After Your Majesty comes back, I am afraid that I will also go to Weinan to inspect in a few days, and you will have to work harder. ”

"Xiaguan understands, tomorrow morning, Xiaguan will be waiting for the governor to come to the smelter for guidance."

Sun Xiangfu smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he knew, Ma Zhou withdrew from the study, originally thinking that he would finally have time to cultivate a relationship with the children, but Uncle De sent an invitation letter in, which was sent by the eldest grandson Wuji before, and invited him to eat at Wangjiang Tower in the evening, look at this hour, Sun Xiangfu had to shake his head and get up, went out of the house, and walked towards Wangjiang Tower, no way, there is a curfew in Chang'an City, and the time for dinner is about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, because most people have to eat and drink before dark.

Chang'an City can be used for children's leisure and entertainment, there is only the playground of Wangjiang Tower, even if it is not the summer season for swimming, climbing nets, cow tendon trampolines, slides, swings, all kinds of children's play facilities, there are many children playing, due to the limited space, there are still many children need to queue up.

When Sun Xiangfu came to the private room on the outside of the third floor, the eldest grandson Wuji was at the window, condescendingly looking at the children playing in the playground in a daze.

"It's not far, and I came on foot below, so that the eldest grandson Shangshu waited for a long time."

"Zhengming said there, the old man also just arrived, early this morning, the house received a letter from Hou Junji, the old man was described in his letter, made it difficult to sit still, he had already gone to his house to talk, he couldn't explain clearly, so I wanted to ask you, could it be that this money village can really make me Tang Dynasty, the people do not add endowments and the country is sufficient?"

The eldest grandson Wuji is in charge of the money of the Tang Dynasty, and the cost of armaments of 23 million guan is of course his nerves, Sun Xiangfu knows that he is different from what Hou Junji is worried about, he already knows how to operate the loan, but he is worried that the money bank will put out a loan of 20 million or 30 million guan at once, which will affect the entire economic system.

After thinking for a while, he replied, "No, the state has always been the state, it is the money spent by the state, if the money cannot be quickly returned to the bank, then the court will not be able to lend a large amount to the money bank again."

Therefore, in order for the state to make sufficient use of the state, it is not enough to have a single bank, but it is also necessary to have sufficient circulation and an open market to ensure that the state's tax revenue will continue to increase, so that there will be no excessive lending and the entire market will collapse. ”

"Can Masaaki be more detailed?" The eldest grandson is Mowgli.

For some of the most common economic problems in later generations, people in this era are blinded, so Sun Xiangfu can only use examples to illustrate, pointing to the playground outside the window, "Eldest Sun Shangshu, please look, we only have one playground in Chang'an, even if it is a cold day in October, the playground is overcrowded, you can imagine how crowded it is here when the water park is open in summer, what does this prove?"

There are 700,000 households in Chang'an City alone, plus the people in the counties and villages who can go to Chang'an City within half a day, there are at least two million or more people, so the number of children can reach at least five or six hundred thousand.

You must know that these places, although they are making money from the people, are also constantly providing commercial taxes to the imperial court, and the more such places, the greater the circulation of money in the market, and the more taxes the imperial court will have.

In addition, there is an open question, although the eldest grandson Shangshu has not been to Shanyang, he should know the block system of Shanyang! ”

"The old man knows this, I heard that the streets of Shanyang are more lively than Chang'an, day and night." The eldest grandson Wuji understood something from Sun Xiangfu's words, and quickly answered.

"You are in charge of the official household department, you should know the taxes of Chang'an City and Shanyang City!"

"You know, as of last month, Chang'an's total tax revenue was 780,000 yuan, and Shanyang seems to be 1.28 million yuan, hey, Shanyang is actually more than Chang'an."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "If you add this month's figures, the gap will be even greater, because Shanyang has been holding an all-army competition since last month, and there will be a round of sharp increase in taxes."

This is also the difference between the open policy and the closed policy, Shanyang adopts the block system, most of the shops on the street are open until midnight, there is no curfew, although only one-third of the permanent population of Chang'an, about three or four hundred thousand people, but, commercial consumption is very strong, everyone, every month is earning money, to pay personal income tax to the government. They also spend money almost every day to create commercial tax revenue for the government, which has led to record high tax revenues in Shanyang.

On the other hand, Chang'an, with a population of more than 1.5 million, more than 30 percent are slaves of large families, almost completely do not create taxes for the imperial court, more than 40 percent of ordinary households, self-sufficient, and do not consume several times a year, and about 10% of the poor want to consume, cannot afford to spend, there is no personal income tax, and those who really often go shopping and consume are just one or two adults.

The reason for this is that the system is irrational, first of all, the curfew restricts a lot of production and consumption.

There is no curfew in Shanyang, many workshops are open at night, and anyone, who has a temporary idea, can immediately go to the place where he wants to consume, and even many shops on the street, business at night is better than during the day.

Some officials may say that the curfew in Chang'an is for public security reasons, but in my opinion, it is a joke.

People who want to steal and rob will not stop committing crimes because of the curfew, because the people who steal and rob are all people who are living in poverty, and if they don't steal or rob, they will have nothing to eat, and people will be hungry, but whether you have a curfew or not, it is possible to take the risk.

Only by making the economy better, so that everyone can easily find a job to earn money, and satisfy their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, there will not be so many people willing to commit crimes.

Secondly, there are too many so-called rules and regulations in Chang'an, let me give you an analogy.

In Chang'an, the official, eating something on the street, was seen by the imperial history and wanted to be impeached.

set up a more extravagant banquet, which was seen by the imperial history, and it was also impeached.

Even, if the clothes are worn irregularly, they will be impeached. On a hot day, the official robe is tied tightly, and when the heat is wrong, he is unwilling to open up, this is not to maintain the prestige of officials, this is pure stupidity.

In Shanyang, there are no regulations in this regard at all, whether you are a minister of the court or a small citizen, if you see something good to eat on the street, you can buy it when you stop and buy it, you can eat it if you buy it, whether you are an official or a common person, you can go to the street if you wear a short shirt or sandal slippers or something, and even in the summer, some men like to go shopping naked, and no one will care, because these situations have not caused any social chaos!

It is said that Shanyang's illiterate Hu people are the majority, and the public security should be very poor, but the situation is just the opposite, Shanyang's public security is not how good it is, at least it is better than Chang'an. Because, everyone has a job and can earn money to support themselves.

Let everyone be able to consume wantonly, so that more people's output can be sold, and they who earn money will consume again, so that other people can earn their money, and money will continue to circulate in the hands of the people, which will not only allow everyone to have something to do and get material satisfaction, but also increase the government's taxes. ”

"Do you mean that as an official government, we should not focus on trivial rules and regulations, but should focus on expanding the circulation of money and allowing more people to consume, so that the tax revenue of the imperial court will increase?"

The eldest grandson Wuji finally understands more than Hou Junji in terms of economy, and after listening to some examples of Sun Xiangfu, he immediately understood.

In this way, Sun Xiangfu could continue to chat with him, nodded and said, "Exactly, to stimulate consumption, the country can have taxes, and the creation of a consumer market can solve the problem of work and employment for many poor people. Let out the slaves who are kept and who do not generate much profit for them. Or, take out your own family capital and invest in business, so that the imperial court's tax coverage will be more extensive. ”
