Chapter 416: False Proposition
Shi Bufan knows that in fact, many times it can be supported, and Shi Bufan really agrees with this support for the pharmaceutical industry. www.biquge.info All industries that have an important connection with the survival and development of human beings should be supported as much as possible, rather than deliberately suppressed. For example, survival materials, various medical care and even future education, etc., these industries that are of great help to the survival and reproduction of human beings cannot be easily suppressed or even used to make excessive profits. Support is necessary, so Shi Bufan suggested that Li Shimin should support him. Of course, supporting this thing does not mean that support can also be supported, and there are also particularities.
"Your Majesty, I think you can support private businessmen to take the initiative to invest in the pharmaceutical industry, and give the pharmaceutical industry tax reductions and exemptions. And all the customs clearance of medicinal materials, major gates, even if the future customs clearance of medicinal materials, can also adopt the tax rebate policy. Pay the tax first, and then you can refund the tax according to the situation, return the tax that has been paid, and support them to transport medicine, so as to avoid the lack of medical treatment and medicine for people everywhere. This is more helpful for the life and death of our people, so please pay attention to it. It can also reduce the burden on the people and avoid the loss of medical insurance costs in various places. ”
Shi Bufan explained to Li Shimin a lot of ways to support the industry in later generations, through tax reduction and exemption to support, through a variety of ways to support the development of these industries that the government needs to support. One of the duties of the government is to maintain the balance of the various industries, and those profiteering industries must be overtaxed, and then avoid the fact that one industry is too profitable and other businessmen compete to engage in that industry. Of course, for some disadvantaged industries, low profits but also indispensable industries, such as the agricultural reclamation industry, such low profits, but related to the people's livelihood, so it is necessary to reduce the tax burden and even reduce the pressure.
Supporting the pharmaceutical industry is an important means of medical development. Although there may be a suspicion of commercialization, commercialization is a thing that has both advantages and losses, and in the long run, proper commercialization of medical care will also contribute to the development of medical technology. However, it is not possible to commercialize too much, so it is necessary to provide appropriate support in ancient times, because the medical conditions in ancient times were too poor, and appropriate support was necessary.
Therefore, this is what Shi Bufan advocated in the position of the doorman at that time, through the lever of taxation to curb the luxury industry, and then reduce the tax burden of ordinary livelihood industries, which will help reduce the cost of living for the people. It can even reduce the business risk of the businessman, and the resulting benefits are even greater.
"Your Majesty, anyone who invents artificially planted medicinal materials, as well as artificially cultivated medicinal materials, can be protected by patents, and the patent tax will meet three-quarters, so as to make people more enthusiastic about coming up with their own so-called unique secret recipes. And ......"
Shi Bufan introduced ways to reduce the pressure on the pharmaceutical industry and encourage businessmen to invest in the pharmaceutical industry. Perhaps later generations thought that it was difficult to see a doctor and expensive, but the ancient people were still "difficult" and "expensive". However, the ancient people did not have "difficult" and "expensive" at all, because the ancient people could not afford to see a doctor at all, and ordinary people were not even qualified to see a doctor. If it weren't for Shi Bufan's mutual medical assistance, I don't know how many people died from some minor illnesses and pains! In ancient times, it was only available to the aristocracy, and ordinary people were not qualified. Even if the doctor does not accept the consultation fee, the cost of medicinal materials is very expensive, because there were no artificially cultivated medicinal materials in ancient times.
"Artificially planted medicinal herbs, this has been scolded for many years in later generations!" Shi Bufan snorted coldly in his heart.
Regarding the artificial cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials, this has always been scolded by many people, believing that the medicinal effect of artificial cultivation is not as good as that of wild ones. Artificially grown ginseng is not as effective as wild ginseng, so it is a verbal criticism for many artificially planted medicinal herbs. However, it is strange that the times are extraordinary, wild medicinal materials are good, so don't look at how many human lives have been saved by artificial medicinal materials. Artificial cultivation may not be so effective, but it will inevitably save the lives of more ordinary people. If it is not artificially planted, if you want to see a doctor, you will not have this qualification, and the vast majority of people will be sick and die alive.
Therefore, Shi Bufan not only does not oppose the artificial cultivation of medicinal herbs, but encourages it. Artificial cultivation of medicinal herbs may not be very effective, but it can save the lives of countless times more people. Because whether it is the life of the rich, the life of the ordinary people is also the life!
"Your Majesty, the ministers are opposed, so preferential treatment of the pharmaceutical industry, how can other businessmen not get used to it? They are all the emperor's people, so how can the emperor be so partial? Therefore, the minister resolutely opposes such an eccentric method, and cannot be so alone for medicine so preferentially, otherwise all the people in the world will also say that the emperor is eccentric! Fang Xuanling hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, you can't be so partial!" "Your Majesty, all the people in the world are your people, how can you be tender and partial" "You can't be so partial, otherwise the country will not be a country!" "Your Majesty, be fair and distinguish between right and wrong, that is the duty of a generation of Ming monarchs, how can this be?" ……
Headed by Fang Xuanling, many officials hurriedly asked Li Shimin not to agree with Shi Bufan's suggestions, and they opposed Shi Bufan's this. The reason they gave was that all the people in the world were the emperor's people, and they should be treated equally, and they should not be treated so favorably. If you don't know, you still think that this Fang Xuanling is a good person and a fair descendant.
"Hmph, old fang, you really have your ass deciding your head. Do you think I don't know the real reason for your opposition to this? It's just that I'm in the position of your noble landlord class, do you really think I'm stupid? Shi Bufan snorted coldly in his heart.
Fang Xuanling is really a politician, above the court, there are countless politicians, and even Shi Bufan himself is a politician. Fang Xuanling's excuse for opposition at this time was not because he really wanted to seek justice for the people, but because he took a class position. In ancient times, peasants sold their land for several reasons. The first is natural and man-made disasters, and this kind of large-scale natural and man-made disasters is a good time to annex a large amount of land at one time. The other is to take advantage of other people's difficulties and take the opportunity to force the other party to sell land at a very low price. Since Shi Bufan came up with that medical mutual assistance, it has become much more difficult for the Shi clan to annex the land. Because on weekdays, there are no natural or man-made disasters, and those who can make the people sell their land are poor due to illness. Poverty due to illness was the most important reason for people to sell land in ancient times.
In ancient times, there was a shortage of doctors and medicines, and the asking prices of various doctors and medicinal materials were very high. After Shi Bufan came up with medical mutual assistance, it is equivalent to a county supporting several doctors together according to its own scale, so that doctors can see the people for free on weekdays. If the doctor has a stable income, he will not deliberately kill people. Although the cost of medicinal materials is actually so much, it has been shared among all the people through the medical mutual aid plan. After apportionment, it is equivalent to all the people helping each other together, and one family is sick and ten thousand families are supporting. Of course, it is impossible for people to get sick at the same time, and there will inevitably be a time difference, so as to avoid everyone seeing a doctor at the same time, and then the medical funds will not be enough.
These policies were gradually promoted by the county orders of the Gyeonggi region of Chang'an, and even began to be gradually promoted when the local governors were released. The difficulty of the landlords to annex the land has also increased greatly, and the people will not sell the land unless they have to, but because of this set of policies, they will not be impoverished due to illness, blocking one of the most important channels to force the people to sell their land.
Even the Datang Money Village Federation organized by Shi Bufan adopted low-interest loans to help the people tide over the difficulties, so that the people would not be swallowed up by the scholars casually. This is also a problem, so the emergence of the extraordinary times has made it much more difficult for the nobles to annex land. If this medical support is added, the cost of medical treatment for the people is getting lower and lower, so how can the scholars force the people to give up their land?
Fang Xuanling couldn't sit still, as the spokesman of the Shandong Shi clan and as a hardcore supporter of the feudal manor landlord economy, he relied on the qualified economic mode of production to gain the position, and he naturally wanted to maintain this economic model. He knew that he had to increase the cost of medical treatment for the people as much as possible, and increase the cost of medical treatment for the people, so that the people had to give up their land for medical treatment. This is the class interest represented by Fang Xuanling, and it is impossible to shake it.
"Hey, Fang Xuanling is not a saint, but just a spokesman for a class and interest group. In many online novels, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are compared to saints, even as if they are saints, and they don't want to be selfish. Even take the style of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the history books to measure? But how many people know that Fang Du and even Wei Zheng can go to the position of prime minister, they are also the spokesmen of an interest group, and they are also the political leaders of an interest group. Don't even think about expecting them to betray their own interests and classes to profit for the sake of the ruled class. Shi Bufan thought.
It is impossible for Fang Xuanling to betray his class interests, and if he betrays his class interests, the interest group behind him does not mind changing a leader and spokesperson. Therefore, no matter what Fang Xuanling is, he can only stand on the side of class interests, and cannot help the people reduce the cost of medical treatment.
"Using this excuse, don't you dare to say it directly? Your old house did not dare to directly oppose the policy of reducing the people's medical treatment, and adopted a roundabout strategy to force the emperor to give up the so-called medical support for the medical industry through so-called fairness? Are you afraid of leaving a reputation for eternity? Shi Bufan snorted coldly in his heart.
Fang Xuanling, this guy is a. Zi wanted to erect the archway, but of course he didn't dare to stop the so-called policies to reduce the cost of medical care for the people. If this kind of thing spreads, he doesn't have to mix up Fang Xuanling's house, maybe the house will be ordered. It was not easy for him to directly oppose this Fang Xuanling, but he quickly thought of a way, that is, fairness. If the emperor treats this pharmaceutical industry so preferentially, isn't it "unfair"? Therefore, Fang Xuanling used this as an excuse to oppose this so-called policy of medical industry support. Because the emperor could not take special care of the medical industry, either take care of it together, all the industries take care of it, or that is, not take care of it together. In short, you can't relieve the pressure on the medical industry alone, which is also Fang Xuanling's excuse.
He used this "fairness" as an excuse, but it was a completely false proposition. Fang Xuanling's excuse is high-sounding, but it is sacrificing people's lives as the so-called "fairness". This is actually the same as the question of who you save first if a person and a dog are in distress at the same time. Of course, this choice is very easy, and most people will say "save people first". If someone says that human life and dog life are lives, why save people first? Then this person will definitely be sprayed to death. Although on the surface, the lives of humans and dogs are all lives, but the value to human beings is completely different.
Fang Xuanling used this so-called fairness in all industries and the emperor's fairness as an excuse, which seems reasonable on the surface, but it is a completely bullshit false proposition. The fairness of all walks of life is not a grade compared to the life and death of the entire human race. This is the life of a dog and the life of a human, not the same level of value. In order to maintain the so-called fairness of the industry and let human life be disregarded, what is the false proposition that Fang Xuanling secretly changed the concept? Many politicians will steal concepts and then use false propositions as counterbuttals. For example, what ****** has an impact on economic development, and what ****** damage the image of the government, these are all nonsense false propositions. However, many politicians like to use this kind of false proposition to achieve their own goals, including Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are resolutely opposed!" "The minister is against!" "Against!" "The minister is against!" ……
Almost the entire high-ranking officials of the imperial court also opposed the special preferential support for the medical industry at the same time. The excuses they give are nothing more than fairness.
Suddenly, Shi Bufan and Li Shimin suddenly became alone. All the scholars present opposed together, which made Shi Bufan and Li Shimin very embarrassed. Shi Bufan and Li Shimin glanced at each other, and now Shi Bufan and Li Shimin are a trench. Li Shimin hopes to curb land annexation, but Shi Bufan hopes to develop the medical industry and make a start for the government to support the industrial and commercial industry. As long as you can support the medical industry this time, you can continue to support other industries after the beginning. But now, this guy is obviously unrealistic, and he has made it look like this.
In this matter, Shi Bufan and Li Shimin have also become a gang for the time being. So this is also politics, Shi Bufan and Li Shimin started to tear up before, but now they are actually wearing the same pants to curb the Shi clan together.
"Okay, let's not discuss this matter first, and I'll find an opportunity to talk about it later!" Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin knew that the stakes were very high, and this time the scholars opposed it together, and they could not directly force it through. If you continue to force your way through, that's going to be a problem.
