Zhang Wei vetoed Zheng Daoyou's attempt to implement the method of the difference between workers and peasants, and he put forward another suggestion: "Your Majesty, since the interests of the countryside and the peasants cannot be sacrificed, we should strengthen support for urban industry.

"If it's a reasonable and fair support, I will support it, tell me about your detailed plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty, to raise the conditions of the workers, to lower the taxes of the industrial and mining enterprises, to increase the taxes on the circulation of commerce, to reduce the interest rates on bank loans; resolutely ban small oil mills, small breweries, small printing and dyeing workshops in rural areas, and make room for the market for modern large enterprises; Break the small-scale peasant economic model of rural self-sufficiency, and let everyone integrate into the tide of market economy. “

Zhang Wei was amused by Zheng Daoyou's words, "Premier Zheng, you still don't let go of the rural people, increasing the tax on the circulation link is equivalent to increasing the sales price of the product, and in the end, most of the rural people will bear these costs; Those small oil mills, small breweries and other workshops, the existence is reasonable, what the government can do is to strengthen supervision, put an end to fake and shoddy products to pit people, if there is no profit, no market, they themselves will disappear, these workshops can only survive by adapting to the laws of the market economy, otherwise they will be automatically eliminated; What we can do is to provide a level playing field for everyone, and perhaps there will be world-class large enterprises in these small workshops in the future. “

He had learned a lot about this kind of thing from the Internet in his previous life; If you want to ban it, you can't ban it, and the more you ban it, people will come up with other workarounds; The more forbidden it is, the more rent-seeking space it provides for society; In the previous life, starved to death the timid and supported the bold, or it was popular at that time that "Tsinghua University and Peking University are not as bold as the bold"; The absence of a level playing field has contributed to the emergence of counterfeit and shoddy products.

On the other hand, at that time, many developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan implemented a relaxed environment and a fair competition mechanism, so that many workshops were committed to the improvement of technology, the improvement of product quality, the observance of good professional ethics, the establishment of a good business reputation, and finally developed from a small workshop to a world-class large enterprise.

The function of the state is to be a referee, not to be both a referee and to be an athlete when necessary; As long as the rules of the game are in place, everyone can fight for it, instead of artificially banning their rights.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei added: "Premier Zheng, enterprises also have their own life cycle, if they can't keep up with the changes of the times, it is inevitable to be eliminated, and if a company goes bankrupt, more enterprises will be established; Just like human birth, old age, sickness and death, it is not subject to human will, and external means such as medical treatment and health care can only delay this process, but cannot avoid the final death, which is the inevitable law of the development of things; Relying on your methods, you can only let the enterprises survive, but will not change their fate, and let the companies that should go out of business go out of business; Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and ten thousand trees spring in front of the sick tree, this is the law of the development of things. “

Zheng Daoyou followed Zhang Wei's words and said: "Your Majesty's words are very reasonable, we must abide by the laws of market development; His Majesty also knows that the industrial revolution is an irreversible social process, and only large-scale industries and intensive enterprises can reduce production costs and improve production efficiency; And the small-scale peasant economy crowds out the market, occupies personnel, wastes resources, pollutes the environment, and the future is a production model that is eliminated, and I just want to speed up this elimination, which is good for the empire and for society. “

Zhang Wei smiled: "Yes, I admit that your method is good for the empire and society, but not for the peasants. “

"I also respect the law of the development of the market economy; The small-scale peasant economy was already a burden on the empire, a stumbling block that hindered its continued development, and it had to be outlawed. “

"If we respect the law of market development, we will try to interfere as little as possible, so that they can gradually adapt to the law of market development, and those who do not adapt will naturally be eliminated by the market; Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Chinese, a Chinese who has existed for thousands of years, has been invaded by foreign races many times, and has reached the brink of extinction many times, and the Chinese can survive; As long as they are provided with relaxed conditions, I don't believe that the Chinese will rest on their laurels and stop moving, I don't believe that the Chinese are not self-motivated, these small workshop owners also have a big dream, each workshop is their dear child, which parents do not want their children to grow up and grow, people are the same heart, the same heart, this is the driving force to promote social development, we can not violate this law. “

Zhang Wei's words made Zheng Daoyou very difficult, and the method he proposed was the simplest solution at present, if the interests of the peasants and the countryside were sacrificed, the economy of the entire empire would develop by leaps and bounds.

Seeing that Zheng Daoyou didn't speak, Zhang Wei continued: "The development of any matter requires a process, the towering trees also grow from small seedlings, and the huge Xia Empire also developed from pretending to be bandits in the town of Sanggao on Kalimantan Island; As the managers of the empire, we must provide opportunities for the development of those young enterprises, support and guide, and give preferential treatment and support in taxes and interest rates, rather than blindly cracking down; Empires are made up of thousands of small families, which are the basis of the existence of empires; With just a few large enterprises, the empire loses its foundation and will not be solid. ”

Seeing that this policy was also vetoed by Zhang Wei, Zheng Daoyou had no choice but to ask: "Your Majesty, do you want the Imperial Central Bank to lower the reserve requirement ratio, lower the bank interest rate, and support the continued operation of enterprises?" ”

Zhang Wei laughed, this policy is simply a copy of the national policy in the previous life, when the state was helpless against the economy, almost every month to adjust the deposit reserve ratio or deposit and loan interest rate, sometimes half a month to adjust, so that enterprises and people can not adapt to this change, and finally enterprises and people simply do nothing.

State-owned banks lend large quantities of loans, and many enterprises rely on loans to survive, and when the loans reach a certain level, they become a heavy burden on the state and society, and the banks and the state are afraid that they will go bankrupt, and they also use this to blackmail the banks to continue to lend, which becomes a vicious circle.

Some enterprises do not get loans to update equipment and develop technology, but use the money to seek rent, or collude with officials and businessmen, which seriously disrupts the social and financial order and causes serious social inequality.

Zhang Wei said solemnly: "Adjusting the deposit reserve ratio and deposit and loan interest rates is a powerful medicine for the social economy. The interest rate is the price of money, and it will automatically follow the laws of the market, and human interference is not good, and I am opposed to this. ”

"Your Majesty, you have vetoed all the methods I wanted, are you just watching these things happen and the government does nothing?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said: "There are always more ways than difficulties, you should go back and study it carefully, see if there is a good way, if you are still at a loss, then tomorrow convene the Ministry of Commerce, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fishery, the Central Bank and other departments to me for a meeting, I want to make a decision after a comprehensive understanding." “

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
