The migration of ordinary people is restricted by the law and the actual situation, and the mobility is very poor, but the businessmen are not tied to the thighs behind them, especially the big businessmen, not this relationship, or which doorway, the migration of businessmen is essentially profit-seeking and risk-averse behavior, where the profits are the highest, where the safest, the funds will be transferred.

Businessmen are the main bearers of the social and industrial structure, the main source of creating a dynamic economy and the growth of commercial taxes, and the mobility of businessmen is far greater than that of ordinary people, and rashly confiscating the property of businessmen will directly hit the confidence of businessmen in the market and the political situation.

Imagine if the government of a country confiscates the property of businessmen at every turn, what will other businessmen think, and what will foreign investors think, and the resulting series of bad effects will be far greater than the loss of some property by forced expropriation.

Once capital loses confidence in the market environment, a series of impacts such as capital shortage, market depression, industrial decline, unemployment and layoffs are all long-term effects. Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) was a human being in two lifetimes, and his cognition was far farther than that of his time, and he had to consider the long-term economic impact brought about by this.

"Forget it, the eldest brother will deal with this matter, Xiao Er will clean up the accounts as soon as possible, and recruit on the spot if there are not enough people."

"Understood, big brother. However, these should be official errands, and I am afraid it will be inappropriate to pursue them in the future. ”

"In extraordinary times, there's nothing wrong with that. Something happened, and the eldest brother stood on top. ”

The officials and officials of the Taishou Mansion and the Sima Mansion of the City Government were completely rotten from the roots, and they could no longer be used, and they were now taken over by the vanguard battalion. The administration of Guangxin has always been under the jurisdiction of the Guangxin Mansion, so Bailiyan has not fallen much burden.

However, for the basic operation of the municipal administration and the entry and exit of finances, a large number of manpower is needed, especially the grassroots officials, and the administrative capacity of Guangxin needs to be restored as soon as possible after the war.

Leaving the department store, Bai Liyan took a car to Taishou Mansion, and in the name of Taishou Mansion, horses and vehicles of non-official government and military were forbidden to leave the city. From now on, Guangxin only enters and does not leave, without the permission of the city government Sima Mansion, even if it is the approval of the Guangxin Mansion, it is not allowed to go out of the city.

Many wealthy people went to sea through the North Gate to Dongyuan County and Jiangdong County by sea and land, and some went abroad, bringing a lot of gold, silver and jewelry with their families, blocking the North Gate. Then there is the east gate, and the merchants who can't get a ship to go to sea flee from the east gate, and the convoy and horse team are endless, and the whole box of gold and silver that has been transported away is removed.

As soon as the government notice was posted, the effect was immediate, and the merchants who were about to leave the city and flee half of them were caught off guard, some of them had already left the city, and their finances were still in the city for transportation, and some were half of the people left, and their wives and children were still in the city.

Soon after, Lu Gao's Longwu battalion came to the border of Guangxin's territory and set fire to the fields everywhere, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"General Qiqi, there is a group of businessmen outside the mansion shouting to see the general."

The soldiers came to report, and the speed was faster than Bailiyan had estimated.

"It's coming really fast. Go, tell them, and let them choose a respectable one to speak. ”

"No!"

After a while, a man in brocade clothes in his forties came to the front hall.

"Xiaomin Zhang Hu has seen ......"

Zhang Hu gave a slight salute, looked up and suddenly felt that something was wrong, the man in front of him was wearing a blue robe and a straight cloth coat, and he was only in his early twenties, Zhang Hu suddenly wondered. After a pause in his heart, he continued to ask:

"Dare to ask where the new City Mansion Master Sima Wei is."

"At the bottom, there is something to say."

"You?!" Zhang Hu blurted out, and the guards on the side shouted: "How can you talk to the general." ”

Zhang Hu was stunned:

"Is this really General Wei?"

The guard glared and said:

"Is it hard or fake!"

Zhang Hu was taken aback, he couldn't believe that the new city government Sima was actually a concubine, thinking of this, Zhang Hu felt that it was much easier to deal with this concubine.

"Xiaomin has eyes and no beads, and he also invites General Wei Haihan."

"Zhang Caidong, the rebel soldiers are pressing the border, why are you waiting for the crowd to come here?" Bai Liyan asked knowingly.

"General Wei, Xiaomin and others want to go out of the city and go to Jiangdong County to avoid the war, so they want to go out of the city, and ask General Wei to open the net, and the villain will definitely repay General Wei's great kindness."

Zhang Hu resorted to his usual tricks, hinting at some inexplicable meanings openly and secretly. Bai Liyan couldn't help but think to herself at this time, what I wanted was that you were willing.

"Zhang Caidong, at the moment when the country is in crisis, you don't want to serve the country, but you want to flee with your wealth, your conscience is eaten by dogs."

"The general forgives the sin, the small people have no power to bind the chicken, there is an eighty-year-old mother, and there are wives and children to be fed, Zhang does not want to serve the country, but he really has no power to do so, he just wants to spend the rest of his life in filial piety in front of the bed, and he really doesn't want to serve the country."

"Hmph, according to what Zhang Caidong means, my Xianjun soldiers have no wives and children in their families, and everyone is iron-hearted?"

"No, no, Xiaomin has no such intention. The small people really want to serve the country and the king, as long as the general needs the service of the small people, the small people will do their best. ”

"Then how is Zhang Caidong going to serve the country?"

Zhang Hu saw Bailiyan relieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart:

"Xiaomin is willing to donate 1,000 yuan to share the general's worries."

Bai Liyan couldn't help but think to herself, you took away all the gold, silver, jewelry, and valuables on the coin, and threw some depreciated rotten copper coins to yourself, you really thought you were calling Huazi.

"Hey, it's not small."

"Do your best to make a little effort, and I hope that General Wei will open the net."

"Hehe, it's easy to say. Zhang Caidong will accept this thousand copper coins himself. ”

Zhang Hu was taken aback, thinking that it is too little?

"1,200 guan, the small people are willing to donate 1,200 guan."

"Zhang Caidong, do you know how much Ben will earn in a year?"

Zhang Hu was surprised, and immediately didn't know what Bailiyan meant? I still want to blackmail him, but I can't.

"What does General Wei mean, please make it clear."

"A mere 1,200 copper coins is less than a fraction of Wei's annual income from a certain year, Zhang Caidong thinks Wei will be rare for your small profits?"

Zhang Hu's face immediately darkened, and he thought to himself, this guy wants to rob it:

"General, General Wei, the small people's family assets are thin, even if you don't look at the villain's face, the general looks at Mao Chengjun's thin face, please raise your noble hand and open the net."

"Yo, it seems that Zhang Caidong's relationship is not shallow, and he also moved Mao Chengjun out to suppress the general, then Zhang Caidong can know that Mao Chengjun was killed by the rebels on the bank of the Yongxing River, and he was almost driven back to Mao Cheng, can Zhang Caidong know about it?"

"......" Zhang Hu's face was ugly, and he didn't know how to answer.

"It seems that Zhang Caidong doesn't know, does Zhang Caidong know how many rebels Wei has killed, how many surrenders have been captured, how many military funds have been seized, why is he just twenty-two years old and sat on the city government Sima of Guangxin, can Zhang Caidong know?"

"This ......"

Without waiting for Zhang Hu to speak, Bailiyan slapped his palm on the case and shouted:

"I will rely on the Xianguo country that I have carried under my head, not on the money behind my back. Of course, Ben will not deny that the king does have some ways to reuse Wei. For example, the brother-in-law of the current king, Xuan Tinghou, is the leading nobleman in Dongyuan County and the father-in-law of the general.

For another example, Guangxin Gong has promised the county lord to Wei, what is the weight of this, shouldn't Zhang Caidong weigh the horse. Compared to Mao Chengjun, is Wei so unsettling to everyone? You can still lose Guangxin! ”

"This ...... Hi...... Isn't Zhang just worried that if Guangxin is finished, the lives of my family will not be in vain. I heard that the Black Turban rebels killed the rich and plundered property, and Zhang was also worried about his blind date with you, isn't it? ”

"It's true that the Black Turban rebels killed the rich and noble, you would have been able to understand when you were afraid, but as the people of the Xian country, if the country dies, who will give you justice! Have you ever thought that the Jin people would treat you as a human being, how could they keep your property! ”

"This ...... The general's words are reasonable, but the rebels are powerful, and we and other small people can do nothing about it. ”

"Ben will only say one thing here, when this national crisis, Ben will be, Guangxin is here, as the people of Xianguo, no matter what form, whether it is to contribute or to provide food, everyone has the responsibility to shirk it.

Of course, if Zhang Caidong is unwilling to contribute, he can also compensate with material resources. As long as you meet the requirements of Ben, Ben will allow you to send a number of female dependents and two young sons or young girls out of the city to renew the incense.

In addition, the anti-thief Qin Han left behind a large number of commercial industries, which would have been sold at market prices, and you could also exchange grain, grass, livestock and other goods for the same price. In addition to these two laws, no one was allowed to leave the city until the rebels retreated. ”

"The stakes are high, and I would like to ask General Wei to allow me to discuss it in the long run."

"Then hurry up, the rebels have already arrived outside the territory of Guangxin, I believe that they will soon be able to reach the city, and then it will be too late to get out of the city."

There are many big businessmen like Zhang Hu who are backed by relationships, and there are many people in the world. Today's merchants, if they do not have one or two backers, can be said to be struggling, because the powerful have privileges in their hands, and the old aristocratic system has extremely heavy suppression of commerce, and the system is far from the mature stage of vigorous development of commerce after the Jin and Sui dynasties in China.

In a sense, businessmen are not a respected group at present, because there is no systematic economic policies and measures, businessmen's profit-seeking and speculative profit-making behavior has aggravated the chaos and disorder of the market, and further stimulated the rise of prices.

From another point of view, businessmen are attached to the powerful, in exchange for the privileges in the hands of the powerful, but also get the tacit force and political protection of the powerful, and the businessman regularly pays some benefits in various names, and even does things for the powerful, which is already the default unspoken rule of this kind of power dependence.

Of course, often the powerful will get carried away and mistakenly believe that this kind of dependency is a matter of course.

In fact, if the market is open, the policy is perfect, and the law is basically sound, no one is willing to pay an extra penny of taxes and fees to the government yamen, just because the current businessmen can only get the legitimate right to do business by spending money, not that they are willing.

Such relationships are strong and unshakable in times of peace, and it is difficult to break down the human bonds that bind power and economic interests, unless the family declines and decays, and human relations shift with the transfer of privileges.

But in troubled times, any dependency relationship is built on power, to put it bluntly, whoever has a hard fist, who is the master.

What privilege is, in the final analysis, the political system in a specific historical context, giving those in power the dominant power to distribute social resources, and the fundamental measure to ensure the continuity and implementation of stable rights is only force.

A country that does not have a strong armed force, in the midst of a prosperous economic results, is not yours. Since ancient times, all hegemons and powerful countries have been powerless and economically retained, and there has never been a precedent for economic hegemony but not strong force.

Why do the powerful get privileges to make businessmen bow their heads, it is not because they have force and administrative interpretation power in their hands, and if you don't know each other, they will kill you.

But when troubled times come, the political situation is precarious, and no matter how stable the power attachment system is, it is nonsense, because your fists are not hard. If the fist is not hard, how can you protect your own legitimate interests, let alone exploit the interests of others.

Businessmen are the grass on the wall, of course, whichever side of the wind is strong and falls that way, whoever can provide them with a safer market and a fair investment environment, of course, they are more willing to do it for whom.
