Chapter 213: Jiangnan Reform
Li Yibai said lightly, "The new concept is slowly becoming familiar, and the people will accept the new concept." △ You are the same. I don't want to quarrel with you. This is something that you will understand later as time goes by. I know you're still keeping your own opinion. I respect your point of view. But I also reserve my opinion. ’
After speaking, Li Yibai was leaving.
Walking to the door, Li Yizhu greeted him, "Second brother, are you going back to Lin'an?" Take me with you. I want to go back to my hometown, too. ’
'A bead. Miss Gong Er shouted coldly.
'Second sister-in-law. I miss home. I want to go home. Isn't that okay either? Li Yizhu turned his head and said coquettishly.
'I know your thoughts. Miss Gong Er continued to say coldly.
I took her back anyway. She's really going to mess with you here. It's not that you don't know her temper, and it's not something you can control if she's so stubborn. ’
Li Yibai persuaded.
'Hmph. You're used to her like that. Sooner or later, one day she will make you lose face. Our women in the Great Song Dynasty pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, and now we are no longer an ordinary merchant family. As a member of the prince and nobles, he doesn't talk about the rules at all, what kind of system is this. ’
Miss Miyaji always insisted on her own point of view, and she didn't feel that her idea was wrong at all.
After all, she is everyone's best girl, her father was an official, and the education she received since she was a child is completely different from Li Yibai and Li Yizhu.
Li Yibai can only hope that she will change in the future.
I'd better take him away. Excuse me, girl. I can't let you do this. After speaking, Li Yibai took Li Yizhu away, and Li Yizhu left.
When Li Yizhu left, he turned his head and snorted coldly at Miss Gong Er.
was so angry that Miss Gong Er really wanted to rush forward and beat her.
However, Miss Gong Er is gentle and virtuous. Endured.
'Sister, don't be angry. I think Ichizu's little sister is very cute. It's so frank and lively. Ivanka said behind her.
'Hmph. Such a person who does not do his job properly. What can you do when you grow up? Even if it is to marry a woman. You can't be obedient to four virtues, you can't serve a bad man, and you will be blamed by your mother-in-law in the future. Miss Gong Er said disdainfully.
Ivanka smiled, "Sister, our family is so wealthy, even if I take out a little money, I don't have to work for a little sister." Since she was born in a wealthy family, this is her luck. She doesn't have to work. You can do what you like freely, and you don't have to worry about whether you have any interest. And the interest is not a meritorious career, as long as you do the things you like well, you are promising. ’
'yes. Sister. You're really all crazy. If you have this space, you might as well watch a movie, make a mask, and sleep. How comfortable. Nian Tong ate oranges and said lazily.
'You slacker. Go back to the room. You are all against me. Is there still a distinction between the young and the old in this family? Outside, the husband is in charge. I'm in charge of the family. ’
Miss Gong Er always insisted that she was right, she was a little angry but she said such a thing.
Ivanka and Niantong shook their heads and went back to their rooms.
Li Yibai with Li Yizhu, Long Wu. and Li Youcai and others returned to Lin'an.
Li Youcai has a huge organization in Jiangnan. The organization is still well established and has a strict hierarchy. They are made up of businessmen large and small. The benefits of each place are divided according to the size of the strength.
'King Wu. These people are all my subordinates, and I can command almost 60 percent of the merchants in Jiangnan. As long as you say a word, they can cooperate with the reform. ’
Li Yibai nodded, and he waved to these merchants, "Hello everyone. Everyone's worked hard. A businessman is a person who has made a significant contribution to socio-economic development. Your non-stop selling can make the goods flow everywhere, so that the people can use cheaper things to meet all kinds of life needs.
So you should not be discriminated against. Although there are some of you who are speculative, hoarding profiteers. But on the whole you are a people with a good conscience.
I used to be a businessman, and like you, I have seen the injustice of the government, which makes it difficult to do business.
My current reform is aimed at changing this state of affairs. I believe that you have seen the great changes in Lin'an. Lin'an was not as rich as Suzhou before, but now there is no Lin'an rich in both Suzhous.
My reform will allow you to focus more on doing business and do business more easily. There will no longer be any worries about the officials' demand for food and cards, the fees for passing checkpoints, and the threat of big businessmen.
All unfair competition will not exist. What exists is only to improve the quality of products and services to consumers.
We should allow business to continue to develop healthily. Instead of blindly putting all the exploitation on the common people in the end.
After our reforms, your money will be more profitable. People will buy goods cheaper. All of them will receive the benefits. ’
'Good. King Wu, your words have reached our hearts. We've been looking forward to that day for a long time. An old merchant said happily.
'yes. We have been waiting for you to start the reform. Like Lin'an. In this way, I don't have to go to Lin'an to do business, after all, Lin'an is too crowded now, where are the businessmen from all over the country running. Just because there are good policies. A young businessman laughed.
Li Yibai also smiled, "The future policy will be available all over the country." Be of good cheer. Then it will be easy for you to do business anywhere in the country. ’
Li Yibai shook hands with these people one by one, and finally took a group photo.
Of course, the TV reporter covered the whole thing.
The news was then broadcast on TV and radio.
Radio stations have also been built in vast areas of Gangnam. Television stations have also been built in some cities. When the news got out, all the people rejoiced.
Finally, King Wu's reform will come to our Suzhou. ’
'King Wu's reform is coming to our Jiangning. ’
'King Wu's reform is coming to our Yangzhou. ’
All localities want to be as rich as Lin'an, and of course they all want to reform.
Although some landlords and big businessmen were a little averse to reform. But under the influence of public opinion, they did not dare to say much. What's more, Li Yibai still has a killer weapon in his hands, that is, Cai Jing's rebellion.
Previously, there was a large landowner in the capital who opposed Li Yibai's reforms and was immediately convicted and killed.
Li Yan, Zhu Mian and these traitors also ended up in this way.
So they didn't dare to object either.
In June, the Suzhou Legislative Yuan was established.
In July, the Yangzhou Legislative Yuan was established.
In August, Jiangning University was established.
Officials are even more afraid of Li Yibai. Each of them diligently pretended to be an active supporter of reform. Li Yibai also knew what they were thinking. They are also afraid of being implicated in Cai Jing's rebellion.
This unwarranted killer feature is so easy to use.
Li Yibai finally knew the reason why Wu Zetian could become the emperor even if he was a woman. This white terror would put everyone at risk, and without opposition, it would all go smoothly.
In September, Suzhou's reforms were successful. A court in Suzhou heard a corruption case in the county. This marks the success of Suzhou's experiment in judicial independence.
On September 4, Yangzhou's legislature rejected the government's budget for the fourth quarter. This is something that is encouraging to all taxpayers. These things were supported by the lower middle class. Lower- and middle-class landlords usually paid taxes but did not have any right to speak.
Now they also experienced the power of overseeing the government.
Li Yibai sat in Lin'an, constantly accepting the situation from all over the place.
Long Wu reported, 'Jiangning needs to increase investment in the police station because of public security problems. Because the common people have reported the case in accordance with the law. This puts more pressure on the police. ’
Li Yibai immediately approved, "Direct appropriation, all the money will be deducted from the tax." Taxes can be deducted from the treasury when they are confiscated. ’
The state treasury has copied a few big corrupt officials, and the taxes in Sichuan and the capital have increased. This has made the treasury richer.
The state treasury has always been in dire straits, only because taxes are only collected from the middle and lower classes. And the middle and lower classes of the people were exploited by the big landlords of the upper classes. The upper classes of the big landowners did not pay taxes. This is very unfair. Now taxes are levied on income, and of course more money is collected.
Ryugo has been running around all over the place. Although Li Yibai helped him carry a helicopter from the United States, he was still tired.
Li Yizhu has always been by his side because of his concern for Long Wu's safety.
Wherever he flew, she followed.
Long Wudao, 'Don't follow me. I'm tired of flying around like this. Aren't you bored and tired like this? ’
Li Yizhu said affectionately, "With you, I'm not tired at all." As long as I see you, I feel happy and happy. ’
Long Wu had no choice but to put his arms around her, "Then this makes you suffer." ’
Li Yizhu shook his head and said that Long Wu was really stupid.
The two of them flew around like this, and once when they landed in Suzhou, they encountered a storm. The pilot holds the helicopter's joystick. But the plane still swayed from side to side, almost falling.
When it was so dangerous, Li Yizhu cried in fright. For the first time, she felt the dangers posed by modern technology.
'Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. We'll be fine. Ryugo hugged her tightly.
'Hmm. Even if I die, I'll die with you. The second sister-in-law objected, and it was useless. Li Yizhu was relieved when he said this.
She's not scared anymore. She felt blessed to be able to die with Long Go.
Life is happy because you are with the person you like. And life is inherently negative. Everyone ends up dying. It's just a matter of how you live.
Li Yizhu is innocent and simple, but it seems that she is the smartest person, and she has long realized the true meaning of life.
So she insisted on being with Ryugo, no matter how big the storm was outside.
The driver yelled, 'Maybe we're all going to be finished.' Fifth Young Master Long, there is a parachute here, why don't you jump down. You are the son of King Wu, and you are the most important. ’
Long Wu shouted, 'Let the county lord jump first.' She's the most important person. ’
The storm outside was so strong that they had to shout to hear clearly.
'Nope. I'm going to be with you. We will never be separated. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
