The next day, Liu Qing, Li Xiaowen, Wu Han, Lu Xin, Zhao Guang and others whispered in the conference room, and now there are not many important people in Pingzhou Mansion, and all those who can be summoned are called. They had already listened to Li Xiaowen's explanation www.biquge.info and were discussing while waiting for the arrival of the river.

Jiang Hexing was seeing Zheng Yi in the secret room, and for nothing else, he told him about Zheng San in advance. As soon as Jiang Hexing finished speaking, Zheng Yi fell to his knees and kowtowed: "He Wang, my father is confused, how can he do such a thing, hey, hey." ”

Jiang Hexing helped Zheng Yi up, pulled him to sit on a chair, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "First of all, your father's affairs also have my responsibility. However, you are you, he is him, you better do your thing. ”

Zheng Yi sat in his chair, silent, tears streaming down his eyes.

Jiang Hexing just wanted to say something, Zheng Yi knelt down again and said, "And the king, I am willing to atone for my father's sins." It's just that my heart hurts so much right now, can I not attend this meeting? ”

Jiang Hexing nodded and said: "Yes, it's just that you can't slack off in your work, intelligence work is so important, you know better than me what it means, I won't say much, you can continue to work with peace of mind." ”

Zheng Yi kowtowed again, blood flowed from his forehead, Jiang Hexing hurriedly picked him up and sent him out of the secret room, so that people could send him back.

Jiang Hexing came to the conference room, several people stopped talking, Jiang Hexing said with a smile on his face: "Which of you has any opinion, just say it?" ”

Li Xiaowen stood up and said: "He Wang, I pondered all night yesterday, but my heart was still empty, there are three major drawbacks in doing this, let me tell you, you see if what I said makes sense."

First, taxes are difficult to guarantee. Pingzhou is very large, the area is wide, but there are few people, the tax collection is sixty percent by Xianwu City, there are two percent by Anwu City, and the rest of the places together only have two percent of the tax. Now let the Xianwu City Chamber of Commerce manage itself, how to ensure tax revenue? These businessmen hate having to pay a penny in taxes. If you put the power in their hands, who can guarantee that the taxes will be paid in full?

Second, it is difficult to comply with the law. Pingzhou has a commercial law, which protects merchants from doing business. It can be said that they are benevolent and righteous, but people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, today Zheng San can make mistakes, and tomorrow these businessmen will also be unable to control themselves. Let them take care of themselves, can it be okay? Not everyone is in heaven.

Three, the four people are seriously unbalanced. Although Xianwu City is mainly based on commerce and trade, there are four people, but there are four people, and such a favor for merchants will inevitably make the work and agriculture extremely unbalanced. And the king, if you are not even, you will be resentful, you must be cautious. The feet are cold and sad, and people are resentful and hurt the country. ”

Li Xiaowen opened the conversation box and talked endlessly.

As soon as Li Xiaowen finished speaking, Zhao Guang immediately stood up and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, this matter is not allowed, these chambers of commerce are all huge businessmen and rich people, although they are only rich now, but they will be different in the future." How will Anbei control these people in the future? When the time comes, I am afraid that they will not only be rich, but also very powerful. Pingzhou is estimated to be unstable in the future. ”

Lu Xin, who usually doesn't talk much, said: "Director Li, Mr. Zhao, I have an opinion, and Wang's idea may not be feasible. You say this because you are afraid that these people will be difficult to restrain in the future, so let's restrain them in advance. Their rights are only within the scope of our permission, and I don't think they can turn the sky upside down. ”

As soon as Lu Xin said this, Zhao Guang stared at him desperately, as if he wanted to eat Lu Xin. Lu Xin looked at Li Xiaowen again, his face was also not good, and he immediately closed his mouth, and he didn't want to say more.

Jiang Hexing kept looking at them, listening quietly, and didn't say much.

Li Xiaowen was also a little undecidable when he saw Jiang Hexing, and thought to himself, win Wu Han over, that is to say, there are basically no people who agree with Jiang Hexing's opinion, and it is estimated that Jiang Hexing will be able to dispel this absurd idea at that time.

Li Xiaowen looked at Wu Han, who seemed to be asleep, with his eyes closed, his head tilted back, and he leaned back in a chair.

Li Xiaowen said loudly: "Wu Han, now that you are alone in the army, what do you mean by talking about the army?" ”

Wu Han smiled and said, "Director Li, I think you are too worried." Whoever is in the hands of the army is the boss, and what role can those businessmen play. and the king's intentions, I think it is nothing more than letting the merchants restrain the merchants and have a check on each other. What if they have money? Hmph, the knife was on his neck, and he was immediately a poor man.

I don't think it's a matter of how we can discuss it, but I'm worried that those businessmen will dare to promise to take care of themselves. Xianwu City has no head, but I am worried that they will tear each other down and disagree with each other, and nothing will be done at that time, and it will affect Xianwu's business. ”

Li Xiaowen said: "But, but, have you thought about it, these people have a lot of people, and some of them are rich and rival the country, if they gather people, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

Wu Han said: "Director Li, you, you are smart, and you are confused for a while." To put it mildly, what can a businessman do if he has money, in the eyes of our soldiers, it can only be the imagination of scholars. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court needed money to conquer various places, what should I do? First, a "reckoning order" was issued, ordering the rich to contribute money to support the imperial court's war, and each of them called himself poor, and few responded.

Later, in order to implement the "Reckoning Order", another "Confession Order" was issued, and those who denounced and concealed their property received half of their property, and the other half was confiscated by the imperial court. It didn't take long for the imperial court to have more money. What is the order of confession, I think it is a blatant robbery. What does it depend on, it depends on this. That doesn't listen, who dares not to listen, hum! ”

Wu Han said as he patted the saber in his waist.

Wu Han continued: "During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is said that there were many wealthy merchants, and many wealthy people who accumulated family property during the Wenjing period, did they take any action? I haven't heard of it. From then on, that rich businessman dared to run rampant in front of the imperial court, and in the face of force, what was there to fear about these rich businessmen? ”

Zhao Guang walked over, took Wu Han's hand and said, "General Wu, you really know a lot." ”

Wu Han smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, I used to be a pavilion chief in Wan County, and I have heard some old people talk about a lot of things in the past. ”

Zhao Guang then asked: "Then General Wu, you see, if Xianwu is managed by these rich businessmen, there won't be any big mess, right?" It won't affect Anbei's affairs in the future, right? ”

Wu Han did not express his position, maybe this matter was too sensitive, and Zhao Guang also asked too directly, faintly with the intention of wooing Wu Han for Jiang Anbei in the future.

Wu Han didn't speak, his eyes looked at Jiang Hexing.

Jiang Hexing looked at these few people, and they all made a statement. Li Xiaowen resolutely objected, Zhao Guang had no score in his heart, Lu Xin could try it, but Wu Han was worried that these businessmen were too timid and did not dare to take over.

Jiang Hexing said: "In this way, let the merchants manage it autonomously, and make it like this first, as for taxes and laws and regulations, what Xiaowen said is not unreasonable." Let's gather the businessmen together to discuss it. In short, it is feasible for the Chamber of Commerce to be autonomous and commercial, and it should not be a big problem to manage a Xianwu City. It's a question of how we do it, how do we find the right way. ”

Although the opinions are not completely unified, Jiang Hexing's words carry a lot of weight after all, so let's see how to discuss this matter with the merchants of Xianwu. (To be continued.) )
