Chapter 53 Encouraging Businessmen

Lin Mu is a killer, there is no concept of income tax in this era, the future Jin State promulgated new tax regulations, tax on merchants, on the one hand to encourage businessmen to engage in business, to improve their social status, on the other hand, for commercial taxes in stages, the more merchants earn, the more taxes are paid, to curb the excessive concentration of wealth in the hands of merchants, and concentrated in the treasury, and then to give back to the people, the monarch to collect his name and profit.

There can only be one richest man in the Jin Kingdom, and that is the monarch, who can only be the richest in the public family.

Important commercial areas should be controlled by the state, such as the current coinage rights must be nationalized, and after the discovery of the Anyang iron mine, through the hands of Jin merchants, they wantonly amassed war windfalls between the kingdoms of heaven and earth to enrich themselves.

A series of measures to strengthen the country and enrich the people have long been rooted in Lin Mu's heart, if it were not for the hindrance of the old aristocracy and the old system, these measures may have begun to be implemented long ago, and it is precisely because of this that he has made up his mind to take drastic medicine against the Jin State.

In the coming day, when the Jin Kingdom is rid of the moths, it will be the time when the blood of the Jin Kingdom will flow into a river, and it will inevitably be a new era.

When Cao Yan was stunned, Lin Mu suddenly said casually: "Jiang Qing, remember that you can't be an official in private business, you can't be an official in business, and you can't have both!" ”

There can only be one person who can have both fish and bear's paws, and that is his forest herd.

"Keep it in mind!" Cao Yan banged, there was an explosion in his mind, his heart was cold sweat, and he said in a slightly trembling voice: "The minister is willing to give up the money he has earned from his life's business to correct his heart!" ”

Lin Mu smiled in his heart, Cao Yan, who was born as a businessman, turned his head quickly, knowing that he was in urgent need of funds now, firstly, he could show his loyalty, and secondly, this was also a credit, and the businessman would make wishful thinking in the end.

However, if you dare to bet all your family funds up, you have a bit of courage.

Lin Mu immediately stopped and said with a smile: "At this time, there is indeed a lack of money, so the widow will accept the wealth first, but there is no need to donate the wealth, this is yours and yours, you are not here to be exploited with the widow, and the widow also believes that Jiang Qing is loyal." After this time, it will be returned in full, and Jiang Qing's strong soldiers will be remembered in advance. ”

"The king can't, Weichen doesn't dare to ......" Cao Yan hurriedly said, his tone was quite weak.

"What? Jiang Qing thinks that the widow will not be able to go in the future? Or do you think that the national strength of the Jin State will stop and not move forward? Lin Mu asked rhetorically.

"The king forgives the sin, the minister didn't mean it......" Cao Yan hurriedly said when he heard it, this name can't afford it.

"There is no need to say anything about this, the widow borrowed it, remember, it was borrowed!" Lin Mu said and added solemnly: "Jiang Qing, this remark is only known to you and me, it is related to the safety of the country and society, and the widow only says to you, if it is leaked, I will ask you!" ”

"Wechen remember!" Cao Yan hurriedly said, but he was overjoyed in his heart, he only said to me, he didn't expect that his status in the king's heart was so important, and being valued showed that the future was promising.

Since the king regards himself as a confidant, and the king treats me as a countryman, he should repay him as a countryman, and do his best.

Cao Yan left the barracks tent happily like this, and Lin Mu was still routinely training, this army in the camp was his own family and the biggest dependence, baby!

Since the siege of Daliang, the Jin State, a small country that has almost been ignored by the world, has entered the field of vision of the heroes, among which the Liang State, the Qin State, and the Jiang State are the most concerned. It is impossible for Lin Mu to hide the fact that he is training a new army, but the number is not much of a threat to the big countries in the world, less than 10,000.

Naturally, the training of the new army could not hide from the eyes of the people of the world, and the three countries that paid the most attention to the Jin State: Qin, Jiang, and Liang had different reactions.

"The new army of the Jin Kingdom, three eclipse meals, and a carnivorous ......"

In the court of Liang State, the old Liang King saw the bamboo slip express in his hand, which was ordered to keep an eye on the Jin State movement of the spy report, as soon as he saw the content, the old Liang King was stunned at first, and then laughed so much that he couldn't speak.

"Didn't you say that the young new monarch of the Jin Kingdom was a teacher of Meng Yan? Is there such a way to train the army in the world? Is this training the army or raising pigs and sheep? When Lao Liang Wang saw this secret report, he was in a good mood for some reason, and he suddenly felt that he really looked down on Lin Mu.

According to this method of training and raising the army, no major country in the world can afford such consumption, and the consumption of no more than 10,000 men and horses alone is worth the food supply of 350,000 ordinary troops.

If there are no more than 10,000 troops, what role can they play?

"This kind of Jin Kingdom, there is nothing to worry about, it will bring about its own destruction!" Lao Liang Wang, who was in a good mood, said with a smile. Obviously, how can the national strength of the Jin State withstand such consumption, the old Liang King concluded in his heart that it would not be long before the Jin State would be dragged down by the so-called new army of Lin Mu.

The training of the new army is worth the wartime consumption of 350,000 troops, how could Lin Mu not know this? Not to mention that he is going to take the route of an elite army, even if he takes the conventional path of forming a new army, can Emperor Jiang and your old Liang King in the east allow an army of tens of thousands of horses to appear in the Jin Kingdom?

Take a step back, not to mention the external environment of Jiang Guo and Liang Guo, let's just say that the major Qing clan officials within Lin Mu will also try their best to resist.

……

Qin State, Qin State Palace.

Emperor Qin, who got the news of the Jin Kingdom, was also a little confused, no matter how Emperor Qin thought about it, he felt unreasonable, when he met Lin Mu, he had the impression that he was young but full of strategic insights, and he was a generation of masters, so this Lin Mu didn't seem to be a mediocre talent, how could there be such a puzzling method of reorganizing the army?

At this moment, Emperor Qin subconsciously wanted to summon Xiangguo Cai Xiang over, in the territory of Qin, the people who knew Lin Mu best were probably not his fellow brothers, but not long ago, Cai Xiang and Emperor Qin performed a bitter meat drama together, Cai Xiang had just been "dismissed" and left Qin, and at this moment, I am afraid that he has arrived in Liang Realm and is about to enter Daliang City.

Did he really think that such an army could afford it?

"Jin Fighter ......" Emperor Qin chewed these words carefully, and once again stared at the content of the spies' report on the bamboo slips, three meals a day, a meal of meat, each meal was full, the food was borne by the government, and a monthly salary was issued to each soldier, causing the Jin people to rush to join the new army.

Emperor Qin couldn't help but think deeply, first put aside whether the Jin Kingdom could afford it, if it could...... Immediately thought of what effect Lin Mu would bring by doing this, and Qin Huang couldn't help but be stunned when he thought about it.

Lin Mu's behavior is similar to the Qin State's encouragement of soldiers, which can inspire everyone in the Jin State to join the army and inspire the soldiers to make meritorious contributions.

In the final analysis, it is a sentence: to reward military merits to strengthen soldiers.
