Chapter 899: On the Economy

Luo Zhaoyun was in a calm mood and came to the imperial study to summon the governor of the political affairs hall, as well as the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Secretaries, and the Shilang to discuss how to carry out economic restructuring and post-war construction in the new year of Dahua.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, Zhu Suiliang, Wen Yanbo, Su Jun, Gao Xiaoji, Yu Chengdao and others, listened to the summons and sat in two rows in the imperial study to exchange with His Majesty the general plans for construction, industry, and commerce, and then to draft a plan for national distribution.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the systems of industry, households, and commerce that we are discussing today, I think of one word to sum up, that is, economy!"

"Economy?"

"Yes, to put it simply, the economy is the management of materials; It is a general term for the overall dynamic phenomenon of the people producing, using, processing and distributing all materials. This concept refers to the housekeeping of a family, and to the national economy of a country in general. ”

These ministers listened to His Majesty's words, chewed on the meaning, pondered the meaning, and were able to understand some of them. In fact, it is a new term, representing the overall summary of household, agriculture, industry, business and other activities.

"The economy, we can't control it too much, like a pool of stagnant water, it will be difficult to function. It is necessary to invigorate the economy, speed up the circulation of goods, and make the people's lives better, which requires the establishment of a detailed business system! Whether the system understands or not, it's a complete big rule......."

"Your Majesty, we have a little understanding." Zhu Suiliang and the others nodded, some words are relatively novel, but the meaning is still easy to understand.

"The commercial system, including the manufacturing, standardization, and circulation of currency, starting this year, needs to recycle the five baht coins of the Great Sui, and the imperial court wants to re-manufacture bronze coins, iron coins, etc., silver, gold, and are also appropriately used for currency exchange and circulation, and stable currency as the standard for transactions, can you understand?"

The eldest grandson, Shunde, Wen Yanbo and others, nodded slightly, and understood a little, but they didn't understand it very well and needed to digest it.

Luo Zhaoyun paused and said: "The imperial court must have privileges, but privileges need degrees, can not completely grasp the economy to death, in the first five years, because we have not been established for a long time, so the implementation of the planned economy, that is, in salt, textile, wine, ceramics, papermaking, shipmaking, the establishment of official workshops, official kilns, imperial court enterprises, absorbing skilled craftsmen, manufacturing experts, and then settle wages by half a month. At the same time, in some non-important industries, such as textiles, wine, pottery, etc., private enterprises are allowed to appear, and local private and private workshops are developed to produce, so as to promote and develop each other......"

These ideas are very simple, and Luo Zhaoyun almost grasps them, because they are often written in reading textbooks, and they are also the environment he has experienced, but for the scholars of this era, they don't know much about business.

Because of the Shinong industry and commerce, since ancient times, all the imperial courts have inhibited the development of merchants, lowered their status, and depreciated commerce, so scholars have contempt and disdain for businessmen, and only the thinking of reading high is deep-rooted.

Businessmen pursue profits, and they can only pursue profit in their eyes, and what they pursue is also the maximization of interests, so some people will be unscrupulous, opportunistic, etc., resulting in a bad atmosphere. Because the development of the commodity economy in ancient times was slow and there was not enough soil for the mature development of commerce, the kings felt that the development of commerce was a loophole to shake the rule, which led to the decline of the people's will and was difficult to manage, so they deliberately suppressed it.

Luo Zhaoyun, as a traverser, naturally has a much stronger understanding of the economy than the ancients, but he did not mention it before, and when he was an official in the Sui Dynasty, he did not say it, because it was suppressed by the environment of the times.

Now that he has become the emperor, he can be properly implemented, of course, he will not be too large, after all, Wang Mang is a lesson from the past, after Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty took power, he implemented a lot of economic policies, similar to many practices after two thousand years, but was considered unbelievable by the people and officials and nobles at that time, and could not be understood, and finally the span was too large, unpopular with the people, but the reform failed.

Luo Zhaoyun wants to reform and implement it little by little, improve this system, so that the court and the people can benefit, the material life is getting richer and richer, and the country and the people are safe, so there will naturally be fewer people who oppose it.

The most important thing is that the country has just been founded, and various factions and interest groups have not yet been formed, and it is the best time to formulate rules, if we wait for the 10 or 20 years after the founding of the country, the bureaucracy and aristocracy have been formed, and the ministers have formed parties one after another, representing different interest groups, then it will be very difficult to change and affect the whole body.

"May I ask Your Majesty, how can this be controlled by businessmen who seek profits?" Gao Xiaoji asked.

Luo Zhaoyun explained: "Everyone is profit-seeking, didn't Shi Taigong once assert that the world is bustling, and everything is for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Businessmen expand their operations, pursue finance, scholars gain fame, get promoted and make a fortune, it is easy to obtain, warriors are eager to make meritorious contributions, etc., are all goals, but whether they are scholars or martial artists, they are all supervised within the rules of the imperial court, business, we must make a relatively complete system, starting from the rule of law, strengthening the industrial and commercial law, production standards, how to pay taxes, how to meet quality requirements, etc., all need to be supervised, and they cannot be allowed to produce at will and become bigger! ”

"Of course, it is also necessary to control the privileges of the imperial court and the government, and not to stretch out their hands too long, forcibly annex and crack down on the production of private workshops, and to carry out it under the rules of the market, unless those businessmen commit adultery and issue other cases, no matter what kind of enterprise they do, they will be treated equally......."

The eldest grandson Shunde, Zhu Suiliang, Wen Yanbo, Su Jun, Gao Xiaoji, Yu Chengdao and others looked strange, and they didn't seem to fully understand, and many of the views were heard for the first time, but they seemed to feel that it made sense, and they were trying to absorb and digest them, and turned them into their own understanding ideas.

"The economy should be taken seriously. In the past few days, we monarchs and ministers have often met to study the rules and systems in this regard, and I have roughly drafted some key points, which the secretaries can take back, they can discuss, communicate more in the Imperial City Bureau, and enter the palace in time to report the progress to me. ”

"Obey your orders!"

The ministers stood up and bowed their hands and respectfully accepted the order.
