236 On the New Deal (II)

Cao Zhang said: "Another new policy is the "City Change Law", if the "Uniform Loss Law" is to prevent the local clans from relying on natural disasters and man-made disasters to make the country difficult to make money, then the "City Change Law" is to make the local clans unable to rely on their own clothing, food, housing and transportation in the peaceful season, relying on the family and the big business, monopolizing the supply of certain materials, so as to seek huge profits.

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this: "Ziwen will tell me in detail about this "City Easy Law", right?" ā€

Cao Zhang said: "First of all, we set up the City Yi Division in Xudu and the state offices, and then buy those unsalable goods in the name of the City Yi Division, and then sell them when there is a shortage of these materials in the market, so that even if those families want to make huge profits with the goods in demand, they will not be able to do anything." ā€

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "Isn't this equivalent to the "Equalization Law" launched by Sang Hongyang during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Dynasty? This law can indeed prevent big businessmen from hoarding goods, but those big families are not stupid, they will be connected, and some in-demand goods will not be sold even when they are unsalable, so that even if the city is willing to buy, there is no supply. ā€

Cao Zhang was stunned when he heard this, he knew that the "Uniform Loss Law" was invented by Sang Hongyang, because this decree did not change its name when Wang Anshi changed the law in the Song Dynasty, and the "City Yi Law" was based on Sang Hongyang's "Equalization Law", which he didn't know, and in his impression, it seemed that his professor had not mentioned this stubble, but the words that came out of Guo Jia's mouth must be true, so it can be seen that this Sang Hongyang is not simple.

At the same time, Cao Zhang had a layer of enlightenment, the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Xiongnu to the bottom, in addition to the rapid development of armaments, in the economy, must also have an overwhelming advantage, this is not to say that the Han Dynasty has more money than the Xiongnu, but the economic market of the Han Dynasty is healthier than the Xiongnu, Sang Hongyang's "Evenization Law" and "Equalization Law" are super decrees that can enrich the treasury, even if it is used in the 21st century, it is also the core theory of capital operation, an economic consciousness that spans thousands of years appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is strange that the Xiongnu do not lose, Cao Zhang suddenly came up with an extremely absurd idea, could this Sang Hongyang be the same as him? From the Hereafter?

Otherwise, how could such an advanced theory of market economy be come up with in BC? However, these thoughts only skimmed through Cao Zhang's mind, although the "Shiyi Law" he said was very similar to Sang Hongyang's "Pingzhun Law", but after all, Wang Anshi was an outstanding politician after a thousand years, and there was naturally a way to resolve the practice of big businessmen joining together to resist the new law, otherwise his new law would not have been so criticized by the interest groups of the Song Dynasty.

I only heard Cao Zhang continue: "The purchase of unsalable materials is only a part of the "Market Trade Law" when they are out of stock, and the essence of the "City Trade Law" is that merchants can be allowed to borrow money and grain, and encourage law-abiding businessmen to join the City Trade Division, and our City Trade Division will support them in doing business. ā€

Guo Jia's interest increased when he heard this, and asked, "This is very new, but how to do it?" ā€

Cao Zhang smiled: "Sir, listen to me slowly!" Then Cao Zhang explained to Guo Jia Wang Anshi's law of change of the city.

The most fatal point of Wang Anshi's "City Change Law" is to absorb merchants as supervisors, civil officials, tooth officials and pedestrians of the City and Trade Division, the official is responsible for formulating the price of goods with the court officials, and the supervision is responsible for supervising whether the price is reasonable, because the official and the supervisor are all businessmen who understand the market, so the price is generally very fair.

As for the pedestrians and tooth people, they are responsible for purchasing materials, and the best thing is that the pedestrians and tooth people are also composed of merchants, and the so-called no profit is not early, and if the businessmen are the purchasing officials, there is no goods that cannot be obtained.

The reason is very simple, if it is a court official to buy, it can only buy goods with the big clans in Cao Jun's territory, in this way, the big clans don't sell, then it's no fun, but pedestrians and tooth people are businessmen, not belong to the imperial court, if it is profitable, they can go to Liu Biao's territory, Sun Quan's territory, Ma Teng Han Sui's territory and even Shuzhong to buy, and they can also go to the customs outside to buy goods, which completely breaks the phenomenon of the big clans forming a monopoly market.

When Cao Zhang was studying history, the professor mentioned that the pedestrians and tooth people of Yisi in the Song Dynasty often went to Khitan, Western Xia, Dali and even Tubo to buy scarce materials and break the monopoly of big merchants.

Moreover, the "Market Change Law" also stipulates that as long as you work in the City Trade Division, you can buy goods on credit from the City Trade Division and sell them, provided that there are five people as a guarantee, and then mortgage the real estate or gold and silver, and ask for half a year or a year to repay, and the interest is 20%.

Such a decree can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of businessmen, small businessmen can use the mortgage to get goods to sell, but also use various channels to find goods in demand for sale, as long as the price is sold according to the price of the market, there will be no disputes, this can be regarded as a way of cooperation between government and business, but the object of cooperation is small businessmen, and even homesteaders who are interested in doing business.

This is the biggest feature of the "Market Change Law" launched by Wang Anshi.

After hearing Cao Zhang's introduction, Guo Jiayi patted the table in front of him and sighed: "It's really an unprecedented move!" Ziwen, this "Shiyi Law" can not only severely curb the exploitation of yeoman farmers who benefit from the "Green Seedling Law", but also support yeoman farmers to become small businessmen, so that the rich materials produced by the "Green Seedling Law" can be dispersed to the head of yeoman farmers to the greatest extent, and the tax of the imperial court will inevitably increase significantly! Ziwen! You're a teacher! ā€

Cao Zhang smiled and said: "Now Uncle Miaocai is exterminating the remnants of the bandits supported by the clan in various places, as well as destroying private treasury and private soldiers, my uncle has established military camps in various places, Yuan Shao's family has been defeated again, the Sima family has gone to Xiliang, and the Yang family is entangled in Shuzhong, it is a good time to implement the new policy, and now is the time when the vitality of the clan is the weakest, "Qingmiao Law", "Uniform Loss Law", "City Yi Law" will inevitably be implemented smoothly, given time, plus the popularization of rubbing, and a batch of scholars and officials trained by Taixue, the clan wants to control the world again, That's just a dream! ā€

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Yes, this is a good time, after the implementation of these three decrees, the life of yeoman farmers will be greatly improved, they will not worry about food and clothing, and they will not be exploited by people because of the monotony of production materials, and there will be a group of small and medium-sized businessmen, so that the world clan will no longer have an absolute advantage, as long as we set up Taixue again, recruit students for yeoman farmers and small and medium-sized businessmen, teach their arts, and encourage them to go out, so that the clan will not have an advantage in the court, Ziwen, I thought you would work the election system, but I didn't expect you to fundamentally disintegrate the world! And this method can be described as frying fish on a slow fire, so that people can't hold the handle, and there is really no trace! ā€

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "The system of electing officials has lasted for hundreds of years, how can it be changed if it is said that it will be changed, and it will fall into the hands of others in vain!" ā€

Guo Jia said: "Not bad! Ziwen, you talk about it carefully, I will draw up an edict for you to show the lord, and then go to the court, I think these three decrees will definitely be implemented smoothly! ā€

So, the two began to talk in detail about the three new policies. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
