Thank you for the reward of the Flying Man 2017 brothers, thank you!

Zhenguan four years, the eighth day of the first month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jingshi, Hanjing City.

It was almost noon, and the five-story building at the intersection of the Upper West Side District was already full of people inside and out. The leaders and elders of the 480 guilds in Hanjing, and the shopkeepers of the famous shops and shops in thousands of shops and workshops in the suburbs of Beijing. There are also officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, Taifu Temple, Shaofu Temple, Hanjing Mansion and other ministries.

Of course, there are also representatives of honorable relatives and nobles like Li Chao.

There is also the royal representative, the crown prince Chengqian.

This is an unprecedented event for the business community.

The Datang Hanjing Chamber of Commerce was officially established today, and the Datang Chamber of Commerce and Industry was also officially established.

"Please cut the ribbon with King Han and other distinguished guests!"

The elected president of the Hanjing Chamber of Commerce is none other than Li Hong, the general manager of Li Ji Qianzhuang. The scale of Lee Kee Money Village is huge, and its reputation is good, and as the chief treasurer of Lee Kee Money Village, he was elected as the president.

The organizational model of the Chamber of Commerce is considered to be the autonomy of merchants, and the Hanjing Chamber of Commerce is first represented by the heads of the Hanjing guilds, and then these representatives will absorb the most famous firms in Hanjing as members of the Chamber of Commerce, guilds and firms, and become members of the Chamber of Commerce. Each member elects a representative to become the representative of the Chamber of Commerce.

Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce jointly elect the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, and the reason is to elect the President.

With the Li family behind him, Li Hong was elected by the majority of the people and became the president.

Nowadays, Datang's business atmosphere is very good, and the opening of the business often has a grand opening ceremony, inviting people to cut the ribbon, and even inviting people to perform, and also to engage in opening reward activities.

A long red silk with red silk flowers on it, the president and directors of the Chamber of Commerce came to Li Chao and other VIPs with a plate, and on the plate was a pair of gold scissors.

After cutting the ribbon, the golden scissors were given to the VIPs.

Picking up the scissors, Li Chao smiled at Cheng Qian and cut them together.

The large silk flowers on the long strips of silk were cut off one by one, and bursts of cheers rang out.

Finally, Cheng Qian and Li Chao were invited to unveil the plaque together, and the red cloth on the plaque was removed, revealing the four golden characters of the Hanjing Chamber of Commerce inscribed by the emperor himself.

The five-story building of the Hanjing Chamber of Commerce is still very magnificent, and this building is the office of the Chamber of Commerce, which was also built by the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Guilds from all walks of life, along with influential firms, were brought together to form a chamber of commerce, which was unprecedented.

Such a businessman organization was promoted by Li Chao, which surprised many people. And Li Chao not only combined them together, but also gave the Chamber of Commerce many rights and interests. Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce can directly communicate with the government, and even the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce are not subject to local arrest and interrogation, they have to be responsible for the Dali Temple.

At the annual congress of the Chamber of Commerce, even the government sends people to attend, and the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry can directly write to the court to make suggestions.

These made the businessman finally come to the table.

In the large conference room on the first floor, the first meeting of the Hanjing Chamber of Commerce was being held, Li Chao and Cheng Qian each went up to say a few words, and then the master and apprentice sat on the windowsill on the second floor and chatted.

"No farming, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life. Cheng Qian, do you understand the meaning of these words?"

"Agriculture is a guarantee, without agriculture, the people's livelihood will not have a basic security, and the society will be turbulent and unstable, after all, the people take food as the sky. If the country does not have three years of grain reserves, it will not be safe. If the people do not have a three-year reserve, they will not be able to resist disasters. And without industry, there will be no development of society, and people's living standards will not be able to improve. Without commercial activities, there is no exchange of social resources, and people's livelihoods are unsustainable. Cheng Qian said.

"Well, it seems that you did listen to what I told you before. Indeed, agriculture is the foundation and the guarantee, and in the past, it was said that if a farmer did not cultivate, how would it be, and how would a woman not weave. That's true, but it's not entirely true. After all, there are many differences between the pre-Qin era and even the Qin and Han dynasties, Wei and Jin dynasties. ”

"The times are developing, society is progressing, and productivity is constantly improving. Today, Datang has a vast territory and many fields. The development of the south, the popularization of double-cropping technology, the cultivation and planting of high-yield Zhancheng rice, the improvement of intensive farming, fertilization, and water conservancy technology, as well as the overall increase in the number of new agricultural tools, iron agricultural tools, and livestock, have made it possible for us not to need everyone to be tied to the land. ”

"It's enough for some people to farm, they can finish planting, and we have a surplus of labor."

Surplus labor represents an increase in productivity and can be used to do other things. It can develop industry and commerce to make Datang more prosperous and wealthy.

In the past, it was a classical agrarian society, the era of self-sufficient small farmers, so agriculture was the foundation and the status was high. Shinong industry and commerce, management taxis and below, that is, agriculture, industry and commerce, ranked behind, and even industry and commerce are not good people.

But now it is different, if we want to develop industry and commerce, we must break this shackle, and let the surplus labor force in the countryside be untied from the land, and let them go in and out and go to the towns. Let them join in industry and commerce, and in order to develop industry and commerce, it is necessary to break the shackles of industry and commerce, and let their social status also improve, otherwise there will be no development.

However, Li Chao also has more far-reaching plans to promote the promotion of industrial and commercial rights and interests.

"Teachers always do things that are so superhuman." Undertaking the main road, comprehensively reforming the imperial examination, the original imperial examination, said that it was a scholar, but in fact, it could not admit a few people, and it was more dependent on reputation and background. But Li Chao now wants to make the imperial examination truly a source of scholars for the imperial court.

Combined with the previous reform of the bureaucratic system, it can be said that the country's gentry class has undergone a comprehensive change. Now Li Chao is making great changes in agriculture, industry, and commerce, and he is full of changes everywhere.

"A pool of stagnant water will rot. And to keep it flowing, it becomes living water that does not decay. There is nothing good about the solidification of class. Regardless of whether it is a peasant or a businessman, they can all pass the imperial examination and become officials. You can also earn money through hard work and improve your quality of life. You can also train in the army to fight and kill the enemy, make meritorious contributions, and become an officer. In short, it is necessary to give everyone an upward channel. ”

"Even if a scholar fails to pass the imperial examination, he can still take the official examination, and if he becomes a official, if he does well, he can also be promoted to an official. Even in schools such as the Imperial Court's Guozijian, the students trained in them could become officials and officials, and the country's system of selecting scholars became diversified, and the selected talents were no longer single. ”

Cheng Qian asked Li Chao, "Is the imperial court's feudal system good?" Will it damage the centralization of power in the imperial court? Will there be a conflict between the central government and the vassals of the four sides in the future, forming a confrontation between the princes and the central government? Or even like the rebellion of the princes during the Han and Jin dynasties? ”

"Of course not." Li Chao said with a smile. "The division of the Tang Dynasty is completely different from the division of the Han and Jin dynasties. First, the vassals of the Tang Dynasty were far less powerful than the princes of the Han and Jin dynasties, and second, the fiefs of the Tang Dynasty were all above the frontier, far from the Central Plains. Under the sub-feudal system of the Tang Dynasty, the vassals pushed grace from generation to generation, and the fiefdom would become smaller and smaller, and it would be difficult to form the strength to confront the imperial court. At the same time, these nobles and nobles have fiefs in the frontier, and they must work hard to develop their fiefs, and if they want to protect their fiefs, they will do their best to manage their territories, and even open up the frontiers, which can open up the periphery for the imperial court, and assimilate those barbarians. ”

"Therefore, the feudal system of our Tang Dynasty has all the benefits and no harm, the better the development of the fiefdom, the safer the frontier, and the imperial court can also increase a lot of taxes."

"Teacher, now that my father is in Beijing, I am no longer in charge of the country, but I can't calm down and study. I want to do something, but I don't know what to do. Can the teacher give me some pointers? Cheng Qian asked.

After serving as a prisoner of the state several times, Cheng Qian also likes government affairs very much. Although most of the time, he just listens to politics and doesn't really deal with it, but he likes it. But now that the emperor is back in court, he no longer calls himself sick and ignores things.

Li Chao looked at Cheng Qian, who was still immature, this is a self-motivated child.

"His Royal Highness's last time the unified purchase and storage of grain is very good, the people take food as the sky, grain is not only a commodity, but also an important strategic material, and the imperial court must ensure food security. Therefore, grain cannot be treated as an ordinary commodity, and the imperial court should have a more comprehensive and macroscopic regulation and control of grain. ”

"For example?" Cheng Qian asked with great interest.

"For example, we can divide the country into several grain regions based on the capacity to produce food, the demand for food, and the problem of transportation. For example, Guanzhong, Shuofang, Suiyuan, Longyou, Hexi, and the Western Regions are six regions, of which the Hehuang River Valley in Longyou is the grain-producing area, the Guanzhong Plain is the grain-producing area, the Xitao Plain in Shuofang is the grain-producing area, and the front and rear sets of Suiyuan are also important grain-producing areas. ”

"But if Your Highness carefully coordinates, you will find that the area west of Tongguan is very important to the imperial court, and there are many soldiers and horses stationed there, and the population is also quite large. However, the overall grain production expenditure is on the low side, so under normal circumstances, they are barely self-sufficient. In the past, when Jingshi was in Chang'an, Guanzhong, even Chang'an had to import millions of stone grain from the Kanto region, and the transportation cost was huge. ”

Therefore, in view of this fact, then the imperial court can do a macro-control and announce that the grain from the six regions of Guanzhong must not be trafficked to the Kanto region, nor to the grasslands within the territory. These six regions are integrated into one grain region, and the grain they produce is regulated within the six regions and supplied themselves. ”

"The garrisons in the six districts are also supplied by them, and if there is surplus grain in good years, it is purchased and stored in various warehouses at a protective price. The imperial court must at least ensure that there is at least three years of accumulation in the official warehouse, so that in the event of a disaster or war, there will be food available immediately. ”

The update is a bit late, I'm very sorry, people are not very comfortable these days.
