The two suggestions given by Han Jin made Nam so Won ponder for a moment, then raised his head and continued to ask: "These two solutions, since we all know them, people like Liu's Weaving Factory must not have heard of them, right?" ”

"Then why didn't they act, but sat back and waited for disaster to come?"

"These two solutions are not a secret, but because there are too many people who want to solve the trouble, people like Liu Dewang's shopkeeper may not have the opportunity to compete with other big businesses!"

Han Jin said regretfully: "Although the little Franc machine people in Xiangshan Ao do not prohibit trading with the merchants of our dynasty, but their scale is so large, there are so many merchants in our entire dynasty, and there are countless goods that need to be sold, all of which are transported to Xiangshan Ao to trade with the little Franc machine people, and the final result can only be cheap for this group of Westerners, and our merchants can not take advantage of anything." ”

"The supply exceeds demand, and the final result is that the little Francophile can squeeze the price profit unscrupulously, and our businessmen are likely to sell their goods at a low price in order to reduce losses!"

"Compared with this, the profit of smuggling goods is actually higher, but the risk is also greater, if it is confiscated by our government and the soldiers of the guard, it will not only be a matter of confiscation of goods, but it is very likely that it will also affect the proprietors of various businesses."

"Our Majesty has been in full swing recently, and the raids and eunuchs that trade with the King of the South China Sea are extremely strict, and the punishment is also extremely heavy!"

Han Jin also felt a little uncomfortable, the Zhu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was defeated on the battlefield by the army of Li Tianyang, the king of the South China Sea, and under the loss of face, he wanted to find some backhand in the homeland.

They didn't know that at this time, instead of venting their anger on these merchants in the court, it was better to take the initiative to help them open up trade routes, so that the Ming Dynasty would have more confidence to fight with the Hongmen people.

In the important capital city in the south of the Yangtze River, Han Jin can vaguely understand some of the Ming Dynasty's financial dependence on commerce.

Taking Suzhou Prefecture as an example, after opening a precedent for commercial tax, the proportion of commercial tax in the taxes they have collected in recent years has increased year by year, and now it has completely exceeded the agricultural tax, accounting for about 60% of the income of Suzhou government's tax.

By analogy, other prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River will also have a large proportion of commercial taxes today, especially in coastal trade ports such as Quanzhou Yuegang, whose commercial taxes will only account for more than Suzhou.

Now that Hongmen has blocked the channels of maritime trade, which means that the Ming Dynasty has cut off almost more than seventy percent of the sources of commercial taxes, it is very likely that the seemingly financially loose situation over the years will be beaten back to its original shape.

And if the Ming court can relax the smuggling channels of the merchants below and let them trade freely, then the financial pressure on the Ming Dynasty will be much smaller, at least not too much at once.

Wars have always been fought with resources and money, and in the case of losing half of the country's military strength and being at a disadvantage, if the Ming Dynasty officials no longer occupy a certain advantage in materials and money, then the prospects of their dynasty may be difficult to imagine!

"Looks like we can't help much?"

Nam so won listened for a long time and said regretfully.

Whether it is the Xiangshan Ao Xiao Fran machine or the problem of smuggling, for him, the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, there is no need to take this risk, and it is not easy to sit firmly in the position of the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture.

"My lord, it's not a question of whether we can help or not, but we have to help!"

However, Han Jin, as a master, didn't think so, and hurriedly admonished.

“？”

Nam so Won's eyes burned and he looked directly at the other party.

"My lord, have you ever thought about how to resettle those workers who have no financial resources after the closure of many factories and workshops in Suzhou Prefecture?"

Han Jin asked a pointed question.

"If they can't be workers, can't they go back to their old jobs and be a farmer......?"

Nam so Yuan took it for granted, but when he was about to come, he suddenly reacted, this group of workers, where is there any real estate that belongs to them!

For many years, because of the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty system, the gentry class gradually annexed the scattered land of the people, and these people who had no land and lost their sources finally became desperate and became workers and started to sell their labor.

Of course, they are not without other ways out, and it is not a choice to find the original landlords and gentry again and rent the land in the hands of the other party.

But now in the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, seven or eight out of ten are planted with mulberry hemp, and the mulberry hemp saplings that have finally grown into timber are now to let this group of landlords and gentry cut down and replant grain, not to mention the fertility of the land, just the invisible loss, I am afraid that these landowners will not be willing to make this choice.

Anyway, the existence of those who own large tracts of land like them themselves enjoy the rights and interests brought by the Ming Dynasty system, and they do not have to or rarely bear land taxes, and let them be abandoned for a year or two without output, which is not a big loss for them; But if Hongmen reopens to maritime trade, or the Silk Road in the Western Regions restarts and expands its scale, then these mulberry trees that have already grown into maturity will be extremely valuable!

Perhaps Nam so won's sense of touch is not so keen for the economy, but the officials who climbed up step by step from the county order can guess what these landlords and others who often deal with in terms of people's livelihood can guess what they think and do.

"Based on the number of villains walking around in the past two days, there are now tens of thousands of people who have lost their jobs in my Suzhou Mansion alone, and the villain's estimate should be less than half of the number in the mansion."

"Although it is difficult to predict what will happen to so many people who have lost their jobs for a long time without financial resources, after consuming the money they have accumulated, the situation is not optimistic."

"Moreover, to make matters worse, several major grain merchants in the city suddenly raised the price of grain, which was originally one stone of grain and one tael of silver, but now it has risen to one or two or eight yuan."

"Yesterday, the villain personally visited one of the shopkeepers, and listened to the other party's tone, it seems that the price of this grain will rise again in the future."

"According to what they said, it was because after the war between my Ming Dynasty and the King of the South China Sea, the imperial court levied a large amount of grain to enrich the army, but the villain guessed that the other party's mobile phone was robbing while it was hot!"

"Bastard thing! Who gives their dogs guts!! ”

Hearing this, Nan Zhuyuan's face suddenly felt gloomy, no matter how much he said that this matter is related to people's livelihood, and it is also related to his Nan Zhuyuan's control of the stability of Suzhou Mansion, and Rihe will not let him be angry.
