Jia Qing said indifferently: "So, this is the purpose of what I call 'heavy business'." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everyone in the world knows that businessmen are very rich, except for the salt and iron monopolized by the imperial court, all the heavy profits in the world are in the hands of businessmen.

However, it is extremely unreasonable for them to earn so much wealth and pay a very small amount of taxes in only a few places!

The disciple thought that since most of the wealth in the world was in the hands of merchants, the imperial court should not have such an erroneous attitude as 'merchants are cheap' and 'merchants do not produce and rely solely on opportunism to make profits'. Rather, it should be vigorously supported, its status recognized, and then fixed and heavily taxed.

The disciple believed that as long as the imperial court collected half of the additional taxes from all the commerce in the world, it would be enough to reduce the agricultural tax to thirty taxes and one, and the silver of the imperial court would not be reduced at all, and even surplus. ”

This is still Jia Qing's conservative estimate.

The wealth of a merchant goes without saying.

Like the world's famous salt merchants, cloth merchants and other big businessmen, each of them has millions of assets!

Even the Xue family, the in-laws of Jiafu, don't look at the only orphans and widows left, but Xue's father has been an imperial businessman for more than ten years, and he has also left no less than one million family assets for their orphans and widows!

It's a terrifying thing.

It must be known that the great Chu Dynasty is peaceful in the four seas. All the salt and iron taxes, agricultural taxes, and commercial taxes in the world add up to only about 30 million taels!

In other words, a dozen or so slightly larger merchants can gather all the taxes of the entire Dachu for a year.

However, there are so many merchants in the world!

Fang Shou was a lot of old men in the end, and said bluntly: "Although the imperial court does not collect much from commercial taxes, the world's magnates and governments all have the behavior of exploiting merchants, so in fact, it is not easy for merchants to survive!"

Especially those small businessmen, the family business is difficult, one is not careful, and even the family will be ruined, and all the money will change hands in an instant.

It's just that their money did not fall into the hands of the imperial court, but into private hands, which is a pity.

Now, if the imperial court collects heavy taxes, I am afraid that it will make it more difficult for them, and this will definitely cause the people to live in poverty. The stakes are too big to be taken lightly! ”

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Of course, this is another more important political matter, the issue of official governance, which is not within the scope of the disciple's current consideration." ”

How did Jia Qing not know this. He even knew that only merchants who had people in the court were exempt from exploitation, such as the Xue family.

In fact, the Xue family is nothing, the real big businessmen are those big businessmen who rely on the clan, descendants, nobles, high-ranking officials, and local wealthy families to act, not only are they not swervingly exploited, but they can also exploit smaller businessmen and ordinary people.

If you want to collect taxes, you have to collect this group of people, otherwise, it can only accelerate the corruption of the country!

After exchanging his policy question and answer sheet with Jia Qing, Fang Shou was silent for a long time, and then said heavily: "You may be in danger in this township test!" ”

Jia Qing didn't show any loss, and he was very calm.

If the people of this age could not accept this theory, he would not force it.

Originally, he only saw the question of the question and felt it, so he wrote this set of theories on the answer sheet, not because he thought it could attract attention.

For him at present, being one of the middle people is just icing on the cake, so even if he falls off the list this time, there is nothing to regret.

Fang Shou didn't know what Jia Qing was thinking, he was just thinking that Jia Qing was still young, and this time he fell off the list, it might not be a bad thing, so he didn't want to say more about this matter, so he changed the topic and said: "I heard that your eldest brother is going to be beheaded after the autumn?" ”

Jia Qing was stunned, Fang Shou should be very clear about this matter, how can he still ask him?

"Yes."

"As a member of a big family, some things are unavoidable, don't worry too much!

When a man is alive, he should have 'set up a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!' 'Determination.

Don't spoil your enterprising beliefs for the sake of some sinister things. ”

Only then did Jia Qing understand that Fang Shou wanted to enlighten him.

"Master Xie taught that the disciples must remember it in their hearts, and dare not or forget!"

Nodding, Fang Shou was very satisfied with this little apprentice's response, perhaps, he could be cultivated as his successor......

Jia Qing naturally didn't know Fang Shou's thoughts, if he knew, he was afraid that he would have to say sorry in his heart, he was destined to be impossible to take Fang Shou's path!

Because, if you want to take the road of Fang Shou, you must spend a lot of time, with qualifications, learning, and prestige, and finally seventy or eighty, in order to become a supreme minister and dominate the world.

Obviously, this is not his ideal path, he, must take a shortcut!

……

Gongyuan, Zhili Xuezheng Yamen.

In a large house, there is an endless stream of paperwork and errands, and the orderly bookcases are stacked with countless test papers, which are the answer sheets of the candidates who participated in the Zhili Township Examination.

The original manuscript will not be read in the township examination papers, but all will be transcribed by the documents, and after the comparison is correct, it will be submitted to the same examiner for review.

In the same examination room, 18 fellow examiners are in full swing to start the marking work.

Marking is a very hard errand, and there are thousands of candidates in the entire Zhili to participate in the township examination, even if it is eighteen with the examiner to mark the paper, it is also the workload of hundreds of copies.

At this time, the test paper was not like the test paper of later generations, which generally only had a small piece of paper. Each candidate's answer sheet, which took nine days of hard work, can be as big as a bed, which is undoubtedly a big part of the marking work.

The list will be released in three days, so everyone will not dare to slack off.

There are only two markers in the main examination room next to the same examination room, which are the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner of the township examination. Their work is relatively easy, they only need to review the "recommendation papers" screened by the same examiners, and then rank them according to their merits.

"This person's writing is fresh and refined, and his words are like a sharp edge. The language is concise and natural, and the problem solving can be described as very ingenious.

The mind is vibrant, but slightly radical, and it can be expected that the candidate should not be too old. Master Hu only gave a second-class assessment, which was low. ”

The two of them should be acquaintances, and when they heard the person next to them comment, the examiner on the main seat said casually: "Oh, this person can get so many beautiful words from Lord Wang, and I think his article is very popular with Lord Wang?" ”

The deputy chief examiner is Wang Xianjue, the left attendant of the Beijing Rite Department, and he is also a civil official who is relatively close to Jiafu.

He smiled slightly and continued to flip through the back papers. As Fang Shou thought, he didn't look at the test papers of the second game, and directly turned to the third game.

"Alas, it's a pity."

After a few breaths, Wang Xianjue sighed.

The chief examiner of the upper seat, the dignified cabinet minister, the veteran figure of the two dynasties, and Li Zhen, the chief examiner of the Zhili Township Examination of the current Qin, expressed the word Mohai, and heard that Wang Xianjue made completely different voices on the same person's answer sheet twice, and was curious.

"What is it that makes Lord Wang sigh like this? Can you take a look at it? ”

Wang Xianjue said: "It's time to ask Li Ge to take it away." This person must be extremely talented and talented!

However, he is an arrogant and unpragmatic person, in this policy question and answer paper, he actually wanted to provoke the foundation of the country, trying to achieve the goal of reducing the wealth of the people, enriching the country and enriching the people by vigorously promoting the status of businessmen.

It's a good idea, but it's a little naïve! ”

Li Zhen, who was over sixty years old, took over the scroll held by Wang Xianjue, and checked the first Jingyi article first, and felt that there was no problem. The comments of the two colleagues, the same and the vice, were reasonable, so they turned to the third scene.

Wang Xianjue originally thought that it would not be long before Li Zhen would express the same opinion as him, but after seven or eight breaths, Li Zhen was still quietly watching the answer sheet, and Wang Xianjue was also surprised.

People like them, reading an article that lifts people, it only takes a few breaths to finish, where do you need to read it for so long?

When I looked up, I saw that Li Zhen actually turned over the answer sheet and started from the beginning again.

This......

"Elder Li Ge, what other profound meaning can this article have, which is worthy of your old appreciation?"

After a while, Wang Xianjue couldn't help but interrupt.
