Chapter 238: The Philosophy of Digging and Filling Pits

"In commerce, within the scope of our control, cancel all the materials that were originally sold by the government, completely liberalize the monopoly of commerce, and let those big families, or shrewd people, put into the operation of commerce, in addition to reducing the cost of circulating materials, and drive the rise of all industries.

This made Su Shuang's hands agree, and Wu Tao felt distressed again: "In this way, our income will be greatly reduced, and this will outweigh the losses." ”

"Only when commerce develops can the surplus grain in the hands of farmers be sold and made money. Only with the development of commerce can the material of the north and the south circulate and the handicraft industry flourish. And the problem that Mr. Wu Tao is worried about the reduction of our income, in fact, you are too worried. If a person sells goods, even if you levy 100% of his tax, not only will the prices skyrocket, and the people will suffer, but also the income will not be much. But if there are a hundred merchants who carry out trafficking and collect 10% of their taxes, then you will have income tax several times more than one person. And when prices fall, people can afford to buy them, which not only allows people to live a prosperous life, but in turn stimulates the development of commerce more and allows you to earn more taxes. Looking at Wu Tao with a confused face: "This is a pull effect of economics, you don't understand this, you just need to do it." ”

"What if those people have made a lot of money and start a riot?" Zhao Yun asked this question with concern.

In the Han Dynasty, in order to develop agriculture and avoid a large number of laborers to engage in business trafficking, several emperors at the beginning of the Han Dynasty resolutely implemented the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

And the most important factor in the various dynasties to restrain the development of merchants is that the government is afraid of riots.

There are two decisive factors in a rebellion, one is people and the other is money.

Doing business requires capital, and if you want to become stronger and bigger, you need huge capital investment, and finally get the profits of a rich country. As a result, they have a huge amount of money in their hands, and with money they can recruit people, and if they have money and people, they will give rise to people's ambitions, so that the chances of rebellion will increase, how can this reassure those emperors who are high above.

Therefore, the various dynasties restricted the development of commerce in every way.

Even if some businessmen operate, they have to increase taxes in every possible way, and even accumulate money, and they have set up cards along the way, and now Lu Peng does not restrict the actions of businessmen in order to activate business, and in order to encourage business operations, he simply removes the checkpoints and collects very low taxes.

Regarding Zhao Yun's worries, Lu Peng snorted again, and knocked on the table with excitement on his face: "This is good, I'm waiting for them to riot, and then I can openly rob the wealth they have accumulated and use it for me." Then he blatantly added: "How slow is the tax, the fastest money is grabbed." ”

Tang has a black line on his face, this is Lu Peng's fox tail, and his feelings are that pigs want to be fattened.

Man Lu Peng said solemnly: "The fastest way to get money is to grab a big account, but this is not a fundamental way, when we rob all the big accounts, who will we rob in the future?" Therefore, production is the last word, only when we have a steady stream of output, we can continue to develop, at that time, we can rely on strong financial resources to despise the world. ”

"In order to invigorate business and increase our income, the money seized by the Ding family this time will be fully invested in the salt farm, the golden job bowl of the future. Now in the open sea, we need to restore and increase the production of salt as soon as possible, so that we can continue to get the funds we need. ”

"With the stability of Lu County, there is no need to deliberately solicit displaced people, and the displaced people will automatically come to us, how will these displaced people be resettled at that time? Especially these displaced people, their homes are destroyed, they have no long things, we need food, food to help them, if we don't do it well, the hungry and cold displaced people will start riots again, this is a huge crisis and burden, now we are short of food," Xu Jie asked the key question.

The huge number of displaced people can bring sufficient manpower to the base area, but it also brings the root cause of turmoil to the base area, and if it is not handled well, that is, a volcanic eruption will completely destroy the newly established base area.

Lu Peng replied: "We still implement the original plan of the base area in the Savage Valley, the land of the Ding family will be distributed to some people first, and then another part of the people will be allowed to reclaim the wasteland, and some people will be arranged to work in the salt works, and then we will think of creating employment opportunities, so that those displaced people and the able-bodied can work and support their families." ”

"But where do we have so much work for them to do?" Xu Jie complained.

Lu Peng said confidently: "The work problem that Mr. is worried about, in fact, this is not a problem at all, the reconstruction after the war, there are many affairs, especially we still have a huge number of roads and ditches to repair, dilapidated homes to tidy up, which requires a huge amount of labor." ”

Xi Zhen muttered: "Then what are you doing after all this?" ”

Lu Peng said angrily: "Then recruit them to dig pits, we will first recruit a group of people to dig pits, and then recruit a group of people to fill the pits, this is the pit digging effect." ”

Facing the expression of surprise in the hall, Lu Peng explained, "I will never do free relief for the homeless, I don't support idlers here, I need them to pay for us, in order to get the stable life they want, this is a matter of principle, I must not cultivate the people, there is a mentality of getting something for nothing." This is very important, our group must be at the beginning of the spirit, the spirit of hard work and rewards. ”

There was no objection to this proposal. As a result, the county magistrate said with a bitter face again: "But we don't have food, how can we hire workers?" Xu Jie also took it for granted that this time the work for relief should also distribute food, but this time a large amount of silver money was seized in Ding's house, but the grain cloth was burned clean by a fire by him, and nothing was gained.

"This time, we use the method of cash-for-work, and we don't distribute grain directly to copper coins, and then let the people use these copper coins to buy food." Then he said to Su Shuang, who was already excited, "Then we will levy a tax of 10% on those black-hearted grain merchants." ”

Su Shuang's face turned bitter.

"Then we will obtain these taxes, and distribute them to those workers, and then let them buy food and other daily necessities, so that the money not only flows back and forth, but also drives the development of commerce again, so that I can quickly obtain taxes, second brother, do you think my method is good?"

This is simply infuriating, but it is really good to think about this method, so Su Shuang nodded in agreement: "You first hand over the antiques and jade seized by the Ding family to me, and I will go to the Mi family in Xuzhou to buy food and come back, and then call on a group of industry peers to sell materials and food to you to solve your urgent needs." ”

At this time, Xu Jie stretched his neck to look at Su Shuang expectantly.

Lu Peng knocked on the table and reminded him: "Don't expect to meet your Miss Mi in private, unless he is willing to elope with you, you will stay here honestly and be a county magistrate for me." ”

When it came to elopement, everyone looked at the cheeky Lu Peng and laughed together, but fortunately, Wan'er raised her little face proudly.

Elopement is something to brag about.
