In fact, are they really looking forward to the arrival of the New Deal from the bottom of their hearts?

Not necessarily.

The stamp duty tax system, in fact, has a certain lethality for every class, and it is much more ruthless than the uniform land system, at least the uniform land system is really a very perfect tax system for the rich. Even if I have money, I only need to pay a tax for ordinary people, this tax is only related to the head, and has nothing to do with my wealth, for the landlords, for the rich businessmen, this is true in the Zhenguan period, of course, it works, because everyone is very poor in the Zhenguan period, the gap between the rich and the poor is not big, but now it doesn't work, with the annexation of land, the rise of businessmen, to return to this, naturally it is not possible.

Although Han Yi emphasized that the stamp duty will not be very high, after all, it is calculated proportionally, even if it is one thousandth, but if you make a transaction of 10 million guan, you will have to pay the tax of 10,000 guan, but if it is a uniform field system, you do not need to pay this tax.

It's just that this timing is really good, the people support it, the court also supports it, the situation also needs it, and many landlords choose to remain silent, because they have just illegally annexed a lot of land, and they also hope that these lands can be legal, coupled with Han Yi's propaganda, everyone wants to do it or not, but everyone knows that this new policy will inevitably be promulgated.

Then you will enact it earlier.

Hanging here, everyone is uncomfortable.

In fact, Han Yi also wanted to promulgate it as soon as possible, and he didn't want to delay it any longer, but Li Zhi's menstruation suddenly came, and he couldn't meet the minister, this Han Yi didn't dare to mess around, so he had to wait to see Li Zhi before it could be finalized.

During this period, the Cao brothers' hydraulic spinning technology was finally patented.

The patent office also gave them a plaque, which is the prototype of the patent listing, symbolizing that the Cao brothers have obtained the monopoly of the water-powered spinning machine, of course, this plaque also has to give money, and now the treasury is in debt, such a "big" expense, but can not afford it.

But the Cao brothers were too willing to give this money, and as soon as the plaque was hung, the pressure was much higher.

On the same day, the Yuan family and the beauty of freedom each paid a thousand yuan to buy this water spinning technology from the Cao brothers, and signed a contract, the technology they purchased was not allowed to be used for spinning silk and hemp, but could be used to spin cotton and wool, because the Cao brothers knew that these two things, the Yuan family and the beauty of freedom were almost monopolized.

In one day, the Cao brothers made a profit of 2,000 yuan, and this is only in the Chang'an area, and it is only the first day, and there is really nothing to buy **, which is more profitable.

At the same time, the Cao brothers began to cooperate with many wealthy businessmen and obtained thousands of capitals, they tried to monopolize the spinning industry of the entire country, anyway, your court also encourages monopoly, so why don't we monopolize.

However, the water-powered spinning machine has also promoted the planting of mulberry to a certain extent, many discerning businessmen know that the emergence of water-powered spinning has increased the spinning efficiency by more than 30 times, and the demand for silk and hemp will definitely increase. Because this mulberry tree can be planted on barren land, it is much better to grow than grain, and it is difficult to grow grain in that place.

There are also many merchants, hoping that the imperial court can open up Lelang Prefecture and other areas, allowing mulberry trees to be planted there, at the beginning, Han Yi in order to protect the interests of the Central Plains merchants, all the mulberry trees in the peninsula area were cut down, and now the merchants ask that mulberry trees can be planted there, and at the same time guarantee that we do not build spinning workshops, we only need raw materials.

However, the imperial court has not responded for the time being.

Datang Daily also gave the Cao brothers a front page, telling the world about their deeds, and the words "Qianguan" and "Wanguan" were used on a large scale in the article.

This really stimulates everyone's nerves, although many people have expected it, but at this moment, all the people in Chang'an feel very incredible.

In one day, the wealth and status of the Cao brothers have undergone earth-shaking changes, you must know that many people who cooperate with them are all Guanzhong nobles!

This greatly encouraged everyone's enthusiasm for invention and creativity.

At the same time, the status of the artisans was further enhanced, as can be seen from the treatment they received, and although the new policy had not yet been promulgated, most of the workers were still in extreme exploitation, and their labor was only exchanged for food and clothing, and nothing more. Nowadays, many wealthy businessmen are worried that their workers will be poached, and have begun to pay wages to skilled craftsmen to attract these skilled talents.

As a result, the industrial and commercial class has become more close, and it is unrealistic to talk about feelings, and it is interests that bind them together, because the businessman has a vision, knows what can make money, and the worker has the technology, but most of the workers have no clue, what should I do, to be able to apply for a patent, and make a fortune from it, the businessman can tell the workers, what is the market demand, and then the workers can give a very wonderful response.

In the West, it is called technology accumulation, but this statement obviously does not apply to the East, because the Eastern civilization has developed for thousands of years, and the technical foundation is ready-made, and there are already seismographs in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although it may not be so accurate, but at least it has appeared, there must be some technologies in it, but these technologies have not been integrated, and the emergence of the patent bill is actually in the integration of technology, of course, it may be an accumulation for the future, because these technologies are integrated together, There will definitely be new technologies to be developed.

.....．

At the same time, Fengfeilou's "cement" has also applied for a patent, and the application for cement is very simple, because there is indeed no one on this market, and no one has seen it.

But Han Yi did not choose to cooperate with the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, nor did he sell them the patent, but chose to cooperate with the nobles, gentry, and large landowners in Guanzhong, and formed a super powerful construction group, not only producing cement, but also large-scale production of bricks and tiles.

But this group is only responsible for Guanzhong and the Northeast region.

In Jiangnan, Han Yi plans to sell the patent to Lanling Xiao, and then set up a Jiangnan Construction Group headed by Lanling Xiao.

This is because stamp duty still hurts the interests of these big landlords to a certain extent, they are silent now, it is only because they are weak-minded, or a little helpless, but it does not mean that they accept this stamp duty, Han Yi also has to open up a new way of wealth for them, so that they will not always remember the little harm brought to them by the new deal, he hopes to use cement to pull a group of more enlightened nobles into the ranks of merchants, so as to weaken the gentry and landlords, and at the same time expand the power of the merchant class.

All signs will indicate that Datang will usher in a crazy era.

.....．

.....．

Middle Palace.

Wu Meiniang put down the latest issue of Datang Daily, clenched her fist lightly, and sneered: "Okay, you Han Yi, you really squeezed all the benefits in that crisis, and there was not even a little scum left, however, all of this is sacrificing everything I have, to create opportunities for you, you are really hateful!" ”

The tone was both anger and helplessness.

Of course, she already understood what was going on, but in addition to being helpless, she was still helpless, and she just watched Han Yi harvesting the battlefield, because she was to blame for all this, and she couldn't complain.

But soon, she walked out of her tired demeanor, a pair of bewitching Danfeng eyes, blooming with excitement again, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "But now that our identities have been reversed, you have become the original me, and I have become the original you, this matter is not over!" ”

At this moment, a palace lady walked in and said, "Queen, it's time to eat!" ”

Wu Meiniang was stunned, got up and said, "Go to Your Majesty's bedroom." ”

The palace lady sighed and said depressedly: "Queen, let's go every day, but Your Majesty still refuses to ....... This.......! ”

Wu Meiniang said expressionlessly: "I am Your Majesty's wife, and this is what a wife should do." ”

With that, she walked straight out.

Of course, this time the result was no different from the previous one, Zhang Desheng didn't report it, and directly turned Wu Meiniang away. You must know that before that crisis, the appearance of Hongchen had already caused a rift in the relationship between their husband and wife, and then that crisis directly made Li Zhitie determined not to use Wu Meiniang anymore, and he had already eradicated all of Wu Meiniang's forces, if Wu Meiniang was used again, this would be very difficult to operate.

But Wu Meiniang didn't show any dissatisfaction, and as before, she inquired about Li Zhi's physical condition, and then left.

However, she didn't know that Li Zhi was actually not resting, but was meeting with several important ministers.

Li Zhi met with the cardinal minister in his bedroom, it can be seen that his body can not support him to go to the Liangyi Palace to deal with government affairs for the time being, but there is no way, if the new policy is not issued, this next year's tax, I don't know how to collect it, and now the country still owes a lot of debt, and has not completely come out of the crisis, if it is not handled properly, the crisis will definitely come back.

In the dormitory, I saw Li Zhi lying in the tent, Li Ji, Han Yi, Zhang Wenguan, and Liu Xiangdao sitting on both sides, and a Zhongshu person surnamed Dong standing by the bed.

Because this is a dormitory, it is impossible for all the important ministers to come here for a meeting, Li Zhi only summoned a few old ministers, and Cui Jijian and their new appointments were not summoned.

I saw that Dong Sheren was standing by the bed and reading the recital handed over by Han Yi, because once Li Zhi became ill, his eyesight would deteriorate very badly, and he couldn't even watch the recital, so he could only let the Zhongshushe people read it on the side.

After reading for a while, he heard Li Zhi in the tent say: "Yes, yes, you have thought it quite carefully." ”

Han Yi said: "Back to Your Majesty, this new policy is definitely not perfect enough, and the minister has always believed that there is no perfect policy, and after it is promulgated, there will definitely be many problems, and the court can only continue to improve." ”

Li Zhi snorted and said: "You are right, but since ancient times, this change has always encountered a lot of obstacles, and even in the end it will be abolished, and this change involves the Juntian system, you can be confident that this new policy will be implemented." ”

The implication is that the new policy is not bad, but the question is whether it can be implemented.

Han Yi said: "This minister has a lot of confidence, because the minister believes that this new policy is the desire of the people, and the imperial court is not deliberately to change, but also according to the national conditions, if the system of land is continued to be maintained, the landlord owns a large amount of land, only needs to pay one person's tax, and the people have no land, no livelihood, but pay the same tax to the landlord, which is bound to cause more acute contradictions. ”

"Yes! That's what I thought in my heart. Li Zhi sighed with emotion, but did not agree immediately, but said: "That's right! I've heard that the Patent Act has been a great success? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, it can be regarded as a relatively successful one." Han Yi said: "This is just the beginning, the imperial court has already obtained hundreds of yuan of income by virtue of patent tax, and the minister believes that there will be more and more income in this regard." In addition, the minister hopes that more skilled doctors will apply for patents, and if they can find a cure for His Majesty's disease, the patent bill will be worth it. ”

"Do you have such a heart!"

Saying that, Li Zhi sighed again and said: "My body and bones are really not angry, but at this critical time, I have the disease at this critical time, and this national event can only bother you Aiqing a lot." ”

Li Ji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, it is the duty of a courtier to share worries for the king, Your Majesty can take care of your body with peace of mind, that is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty." ”

"With Sikong here, I am indeed relieved. But......! ”

Li Zhi wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, he said: "But I may not be able to handle government affairs for the time being, so I hope to take this opportunity to give the prince a little experience, I plan to let the prince be the regent of the country, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Ji, Zhang Wenguan, and Liu Xiangdao were stunned at the same time. But Han Yi secretly said in his heart, you are pretending to be sick, the emperor is the emperor, just this means, Lao Tzu is really ashamed of himself!

Now Li Hong is only in his early tens, and he is in charge of the regent, which seems to be too small.

But no one objected, Li Ji, Han Yi, Zhang Wenguan, and Liu Xiangdao said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers and others will do their best to assist the prince." ”

These old drivers quickly understood Li Zhi's intentions, if the prince was not allowed to be regent, then the power would be concentrated on the prime minister, especially Han Yi, Li Zhi can't even approve the chapter now, if it is not the prince who is in charge, then Han Yi is in charge.

Although Han Yi is Li Zhi's most trusted courtier, but Li Zhi took back power from the eldest grandson Wuji through struggle, of course he will not easily delegate power to Han Yi, the new policy was originally proposed by Han Yi, if it is handed over to Han Yi to implement, then Han Yi's power is very large, he has been dragging it, he hopes that his body will be sooner, at least until the new policy is promulgated, but he really has no way to deal with government affairs now, he doesn't know that the prince is young and not in good health, but he has no choice, He could only push the prince up.

This is something that you can't oppose, no matter what your reason, whoever wants to oppose this, the emperor will definitely be suspicious of you.

"I know that the crown prince is young now, but fortunately, there are a few Aiqing here, so I can rest assured that the prince will be the regent of the country." Li Zhi said, and said: "Regarding the new policy, you should go and discuss with the prince." ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Han Yi said again: "Your Majesty, Cui Zhongcheng also made a suggestion, and Weichen thinks it's not bad." ”

"What advice?"

Han Yi immediately told Li Zhi about Choi Ji-blade's suggestion to elect the gentry.

When Li Zhi heard this, he was silent for a while before he said: "Let's talk about this later, the first task at the moment is to implement the new policy, and don't make any more extraneous branches." ”

"Wechen obeys!" Han Yi was not disappointed, as if he was expecting, Cui Ji's suggestion was very advanced, with Li Zhi's current physical condition, he couldn't think about whether it would be a threat to the imperial power, he meant to wait until he was in good health.

PS: Today we will resume the two shifts, thank you for your tolerance during this period, and I hope that in the new year, everyone can support Xiaoxi more.
