"The shop is divided into 10 classes. With the strength of my Chen family, because I don't smuggle alum or salt, in the alum mansion, the salt mansion is still the ninth and fifth class. Chen Zimei nodded, looked at her son with a smile, and then looked at her.

At this time, Chen Chong couldn't help but think of Chen Zimei's powerlessness when he bought and sold salt and alum.

"Since the Tianxi period of Emperor Zhenzong, the emperor issued an edict to release the monopoly of salt."

"After recruiting merchants, transporting grain, copper coins, and cloth to Bianjing, and then going to Huainan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang to get salt smugglers, we were repeatedly controlled by others when we bought large quantities of salt." Chen Zimei sighed, he thought of a bad experience.

At that time, the salt administration was open, and he went up and down for the Chen family's business, running around, and in the end, he was still only a fifth-class mix.

This is still their Chen family!

In other fields, first-class businessmen, when faced with the threat of Didian, still have to choose to compromise, licking their faces and going to the door to give gifts and treats to the first-class businessmen of Yandi.

Their family's habit of raising skinny horses was also raised at that time.

Chen Zimei said abruptly: "I once calculated that since Emperor Renzong, the salt administration was opened in the eighth year of Tiansheng, and after the salt pond was unlocked, the income of the imperial court was at least lost by more than 2.3 million to 3 million guan per year. ”

And the money did not go to the lower merchants of the Didian, but to the hands of the first- and second-class merchants. There is only a little bit of downward flow. ”

"Because our Chen family does not sell smuggled salt, we always feel that the laws and regulations of pool salt are severe, and the people dare not boil salt privately. As a result, after the salt pond was dissolved, we were subject to people everywhere in the salt section. ”

Chen Chong thought of the tea house in Kaifeng City, and thought of the suffering of the little tea merchant.

"The biggest problem in Tongdi is mutual in-laws, Bianjing Tea Shop, there are more than ten merger families, intertwined."

"When merchants transport tea to Beijing, they must first give them gifts, treats, and ask them to set a price."

"The merchants sold tea to these more than ten households, but they did not dare to make profits, but only sought to set a high price and sell tea to the merchants of the next household with double the profits. This is true of the tea shop, and the same is roughly true of other traders. ”

"Wealthy merchants open mansions and manipulate the market through mansions, and even these merger houses will want middle and lower merchants to sell goods on credit and collect money with interest on a regular basis. It turns out that this shop is so harmful. ”

Chen Chong frowned and stared out the window, and after a while, he began to dance like crazy.

It took him a long time to stop, and Chen Zimei seemed to be used to seeing Chen Chong like this, and she didn't panic, waiting for Chen Chong to stop.

Chen Zimei asked, "Have you ever realized anything?" ”

Chen Chong nodded, and was about to speak, when Chen Zimei interrupted him and said, "Whatever you think, no matter what you want to do, don't tell your father." ”

"You want to mix officialdom and leave a name in history, you told me, that is the collusion between officials and businessmen."

"The child knows." Chen Chong still couldn't help it, but he still listened to his father's words and didn't say much.

"What about the third one? What about the tax on conversion in kind? Chen Zimei asked.

Speaking of this, Chen Chong said proudly: "This kid knows that I have seen with my own eyes that the key to this tax is to give up everything and blame it for nothing." ”

"The government and businessmen colluded, and originally all the five counties of Caizhou were planted with corn, and then the local governors and big businessmen joined forces to collect the tax in kind for glutinous rice and japonica rice, and the people needed to sell the corn in their hands, and then buy glutinous rice and japonica rice from the merchants."

"One of these backs and forths is a lot of money, as the so-called one corn becomes a pot, and a wisp of cloth becomes a foot." [Note 1]

Chen Chong was still not satisfied, and continued: "Then the wealth obtained, three seven accounts, three Zhizhou, three big businessmen Jia Qi, everyone has to earn, why not." ”

Chen Zimei nodded, although Chen Chong knew the harm, but this was not enough!

He thought for a while and said: "You need to think of a solution, Cai Jing's way, all of them are abolished, it's too simple, at least change the number of ways, and within a few days, the people below will have a way to deal with it." ”

"Since these things have appeared, there are reasons for their appearance, and blindly abolishing them is not a good way."

"For example, in the second store, the merchants of the same article are concentrated, and then the goods are sold in a centralized manner, which is a good thing, but unfortunately it has become like this now."

"For example, the tax in kind in Article 3 was originally intended to help people who had no money to mortgage in kind and sell their children and daughters in kind. It's a pity that the taste has changed down there, so, Chong'er, you have to think of a solution. ”

"Then write a notebook. Handed it to Bianjing City, I think the official family will meet again to ask about politics, and the answer is good, that is, Feihuang Teng stepped on, and the marquis paid homage to the prime minister. ”

"Do you understand?"

Chen Chong's face changed several times, it turned out that this was the real purpose of his father calling him! He bowed his head and said, "Remember, child. ”

"Go ahead. Before you go back to Hanoi, make sure you have a notebook. Chen Zimei looked at the growing child with a relieved smile on her face.

It's not that the Chen family has never been out of Jinshi and the first, but there are very few who can be prime ministers, if they can produce a person who ranks among the three princes, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Of course, he has this desire, not for the collusion of officials and businessmen to earn more money, his Chen family has enough money.

If Chen Chong can really go to the point of three princes and nine kings, he Chen family's business, just don't want it, and it doesn't matter if no one inherits it.

Although Chen Zimei has been scolding Chen Chong for being stupid, when he was Chen Chong's age, he couldn't see any of the three harms, and only at this age of knowing the destiny of heaven did he taste a little taste.

He also once won fame, but in Chen Chong's years, he only knew that he was blindly determined to improve, and the result was that he lost the officialdom and went home to inherit the family business.

In his opinion, Chen Chong has a lot to offer.

When a businessman can't leave a name in history, it is not easy for a family to have a name in history, indicating that he has existed.

Chen Chong is still writhing in the yard like a madman, this is a small problem of Chen Chong, when he has thousands of thoughts, he looks like crazy.

When you have learned something and have a little understanding, it will be like this.

Every time he finished twisting, he had a deep understanding of the sage book, and now Chen Chong was obviously thinking about the harm of the three politics, and Chen Zimei was very much looking forward to his child being able to really rank among the three princes.

At that time, Chen Zimei will have all his family wealth, and he wants to give Chen Chong a perfect background and go down in history.

Chen Chong obviously didn't even know about this crazy demon move.

As soon as he finished thinking about it, he felt a little tired all over his body, but his spirit was very high.

He spread out the notebook and began to write it to the officials.

Of course, he had no intention of correcting King Kang's policies, and for the small court in the south, he felt that it would have to fall within two or three years.

The people in Jiangnan are concentrated and rich, but most of the people are poor, and the money and grain are rich and large.

Xuanhe's three years of ten draws can be regarded as the elimination of the vast majority of middle-class families. Therefore, Jiangnan is not the same as the world, that is, among the big families and ordinary people, there is one less middle-aged family.

This can be regarded as the second son of the Taishang Emperor Pit.

The small court in the south doesn't care about the people so much, I'm afraid they don't know that the people can carry the boat or overturn the boat.

Of course, his people and the people of Emperor Taizongwen are the same people, and they are the people of the world.

Of course, this Emperor Taizongwen also said the former Tang Dynasty.
