"Understand the deep needs of the people and merchants. In the same way, it is necessary to rationally judge their needs, which are really beneficial to everyone, and which are private messages.
In the long run, you will know what the people in this harbor house need.
You just have to figure out how to solve their problems and help them solve them.
If you want to be a good official, you must put yourself in the right position.
This country is like a big restaurant, the emperor is like the owner, Xiangguo is like the shopkeeper, the officials in Seoul are like the back kitchen, and you officials outside are equivalent to the shopkeepers.
And in this restaurant, the real guests are the people. Do you understand? β
Yang Yansi's voice was plain. But his words were like a surging storm, subverting the worldview that had existed in Xie Tao's heart for more than 20 years.
"Wang ...... The king ......"
"Goodo......"
"Your Majesty, are you laughing? According to your meaning, we, the officials, and even the royal family, are serving the people? β
Yang Yansi spread out his hands, "Otherwise? β
Xie Tao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Impossible, the official is an official master, and he is naturally a head taller than the people." We are the ones who help the people and make decisions, not the people who serve them. β
Yang Yansi shook his head and smiled, "If there are no people in this world, who will you go to be a head taller?" Also, is there a difference between helping the people to be the masters and serving the people?
In my opinion, it's just a difference in name. β
"This ......"
Xie Tao wanted to refute, and he wanted to refute loudly.
He wanted to tell Yang Yansi that in the Great Song Dynasty, officials were people. The people are just lowly embryos in the field.
But he didn't dare say it.
Because, once he said it, he violated Article 2 of the Basic Law of the Southern Kingdom.
All men are created equal, regardless of whether they are high or low.
Seeing that Xie Tao was silent, Yang Yansi did not continue to chase him to discuss the problem.
Yang Yansi tasted the tea on the table, and waited until Xie Tao calmed down before continuing to speak, "We talked about it just now, and we almost missed the right thing." I just want to know what is going on with the businessmen at the Hong Kong and Macau wharf who are besieged at the gate of the government? β
Xie Tao clasped his fists and said: "The minister was about to report this matter to the king, a few days ago, Lord Wang, from the Liao country, exchanged a lot of Liao Han people, and transported them back to our southern country.
After these Han people in Liao entered our southern kingdom, they received a generous gift from the king.
When these merchants saw it, they had some thoughts in their hearts......"
"What thoughts?"
Xie Tao groaned: "First, the businessmen went to the yamen to ask, they wanted to join the Nanguo, but they didn't know what the conditions were. Will it be like the Han people in Liaodi, get 111 acres of fertile land?
Second, the businessmen found a business opportunity through the affairs of Lord Wang. They wanted to transport the grain from the south to Liao, and then exchange it for some Han people in Liao, and then transport it back. They want to know whether there is any intention to buy these Hermes-Epitek in the south of China. β
Yang Yansi tapped his eyebrows with his index finger, thinking about everything, "a very smart plan......
"How?" Xie Tao was puzzled.
Yang Yansi smiled: "First of all, in the current era, most businessmen exist in the form of families. Those who can go abroad to do business will have a larger family business and a more diverse population.
If they choose thousands of people at home, settle in our southern country, and join the southern household registration. Got 111 acres of fertile land. Then the fertile land in their hands can quickly accumulate thousands of acres.
Secondly, there is a shortage of grain in Liaodi, which is a well-known thing.
When they transported grain to Liaodi, they could naturally easily exchange it for the corresponding Han people in Liaodi.
These Han people were rescued from the fire pit by them, and naturally obeyed them.
When the time came, these Han people were rewarded with land, and in the end they became the pockets of these merchants.
The merchants not only made money from the sale of the Han people in Liaodi, but also earned their land.
It's a win-win-win-win-win plan. β
When Xie Tao heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "These businessmen are really treacherous, we should find a way to thwart their treacherous schemes." β
Yang Yansi shook his head slowly, "People didn't steal or rob, they made money with their ability and intelligence, and it was reasonable to earn money." According to the laws of my southern kingdom, as long as people pay enough commercial taxes, we will protect them. β
Xie Tao said unwillingly: "How can this be reasonable, do you just watch them make a lot of money?" β
Yang Yansi smiled, "Don't worry, don't you have to promise them yet, haven't they earned it yet?" β
Xie Tao said in a deep voice: "But the subordinates look at the king's meaning, and they seem to have the idea of agreeing to them. β
"You see that?"
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of your ministers."
Yang Yansi narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "There is definitely no way to stop this matter, with these businessmen joining, Wang Mingcheng's pressure will be lighter." In addition, the number of citizens in southern Japan can also expand rapidly.
This matter not only cannot be stopped, but also encouraged.
It's just that the small means they came up with similar to land annexation should find a way to restrain it.
Hmmm......"
Yang Yansi lowered his head and pondered.
How can we restrain the land annexation that the merchants are secretly planning without suppressing their enthusiasm?
Yang Yansi thought about it for a long time, for a long time......
Suddenly, he looked up, and his face was full of smiles.
"The king has a way?" Xie Tao had been waiting beside Yang Yansi, and when he saw the expression on Yang Yansi's face, he knew that Yang Yansi must have a way.
Yang Yansi smiled happily and said, "It's not a clever way. Their conditions can be agreed, but the Han people who returned from the Liao region cannot be exchanged for gold and silver. It can only be handed over to the government, and in return, we can give them a certain reduction or exemption from commercial taxes......"
"A tax cut on business can thwart their plans?" Xie Tao was a little stunned, "Why do you think that this is fueling their prestige?" β
Yang Yansi said with a smile: "Use your brains, the Han people in Liaodi were collected by the government in the form of replacing taxes." Then these people are the people of the government, and they have nothing to do with those merchants.
When the time comes, the settled merchant families will be separated from the Han people in Liaodi.
One to the south, and the other to the north.
Their conspiracy can be easily foiled. β
Xie Tao complimented: "The king's means are extremely high, so that the problem of land annexation can indeed be avoided." β
Yang Yansi sighed: "To be honest, I don't care about land annexation. It's just that land annexation is an inherent atmosphere in the Great Song Dynasty. Even with this atmosphere, there is another atmosphere. is that the people of the Great Song Dynasty like to eat more and occupy more in their own homes, but they have no pioneering spirit at all.
The vast land is vast, and these lands can be left to our gallops, and we cannot rest on our laurels. β
