There is no hatred for no reason in the world, and there is no love for no reason, it is said that businessmen cannot afford to be profitable, as a high minister, why is this not the case?

A person like Xu Jie, a supreme minister, must be thoughtful in his work, think twice before acting, and will never be untargeted.

Jiajing is about to become yesterday's yellow flower, in the future, it must be the world of King Yu's father and son, Xu Jie helped his student Zhang Juzheng to seek the position of right Songde, why not to protect his own interests, King Yu's accession to the throne, the biggest thing is undoubtedly the switch, lift the sea ban.

Lifting the sea ban, in addition to the emperor's pass, also touches a lot of interests, and needs a lot of support, Yu Jin can be sure that Xu Jie is the driving force behind it, and freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this switch plan should have been in his plan a long time ago, but now I don't know what stage it will be.

I was selected, in addition to having a certain reputation, it is estimated that it is also related to my own experience.

The deceased father and brother were all accused of going to sea without permission, needless to say, he was very disgusted with the sea ban, in addition, in order to make a living, he did some businessman's behavior restlessly, it is estimated that these are also in line with Xu Jie's values, if he is the companion of King Yu, maybe it will affect him.

That's how I had the opportunity to appear here.

If you guess correctly, then the water of officialdom is too deep, and it is by no means something that a small person can control, and he has become a chess piece unknowingly.

Small, insignificant chess pieces.

Relying on Yulu alone, it is estimated that nine out of ten officials will have to be like Hai Rui, and cutting two catties of meat will become major news, and which official secretly does not have a shop to maintain daily expenses?

Liu An is so extreme, and he is so hostile to businessmen, saying that he should be strict with businessmen, what is that, that is blocking other people's financial routes, and blocking people's financial roads is like killing parents, it is strange to have a good life.

can only blame him for only seeing the surface of things, and not seeing the essence of things, so he died.

Since he guessed Xu Jie's hole cards, Yu Jin naturally had to come forward.

Seeing Yu Jin's opposition, Liu An was a little unhappy in his heart, and said with some disdain: "Oh, Brother Yu, do you think Liu is wrong?" ”

Yu Jin said with a straight face: "Brother Liu belittles businessmen, which is very wrong. ”

"What, you're going to speak for those lowly merchants?"

"Fei Ye" Yu Jin said with a straight face: "Brother Liu only saw the surface of the businessman's scenery, did not see the businessman's secret hard work, for profit, they went over the mountains and mountains, came in the wind, went in the rain, and also went home for a few days a year, risking the risk of being stolen, robbed, and depreciating the value of the goods to run around the north and south of the river, if you are not careful, you may even lose your hard-earned money." ”

Liu An sneered and said, "With Brother Yu's words, then these lowly businessmen still have to give them a reward?" Those businessmen who collaborated with the enemy and treasoned and hoarded the country, do they still have to give them a certificate of commendation? ”

"The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, there are still corrupt and bribe-taking people in the government, there are also scum who read the books of the sages, and the people also have those who steal chickens and dogs, and it is not strange that there are some lawless people among the merchants, and we cannot generalize from one point, for the lawless businessmen, there are their own laws to punish them, and we should also face up to the positive role of the merchants."

"What do those moths do?" Liu An said with a straight face: "Their role is to eat away at the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Yu Jin laughed, pointed to Liu An's clothes and said, "Brother Liu, you have a good dress, where did you buy it?" ”

"I bought it in Chengdu, Su silk, and asked a famous tailor to make it, it's not bad." Liu An was also quite satisfied with his clothes, felt generous and decent, and listened to Yu Jin's question, and also intended to show off.

"Well said" Yu Jin clapped his hands and said: "Suzhou's silk is bought in Chengdu, so did Brother Liu think that who transported Suzhou's silk to Chengdu?" is a businessman, if there is no businessman, then if Brother Liu wants to buy a piece of clothing, he has to travel all the way to Suzhou to buy it, so how much travel expenses do you have to spend on the way? This fare is not comparable to the little profit that a merchant makes, right? ”

"This, this" Liu An was speechless for a while, wanting to refute but couldn't find a reason.

Yu Jin immediately said: "This is a very simple truth, businessmen are good for profit, but their role can not be erased, without businessmen, the grain in the hands of the people has to be hidden in the house to rot, no merchants, there is no exchange, there is no businessmen, the market will be depressed, in other words, if the grain in the hands of the people can not be sold, it will definitely affect their enthusiasm for work." ”

"Moreover, the people are the source of taxes, and the people do not have silver taels in their hands, so they pay all in kind, what should they do if they pay their salaries? It's that the officials don't mind receiving all kinds of items as a stipend, so what about the soldiers, send him a few buckets of rice or a few pieces of cloth to send to him, and let him carry these on his back to kill the enemy? If a few adults reward Brother Liu with a few pieces of wood, would you be willing to carry them back to Chengdu? Obviously, he is unwilling, which is not conducive to the development of the Ming Empire. ”

After a pause, Yu Jin concluded: "In general, it can be summed up in eight words, no agriculture, no stability, no business, no life." ”

"A good one without farming, no stability, no business, no life" said Zhang Juzheng's heart, and he couldn't help but cheer.

I took a bunch of wood back home last month, and now Zhang Juzheng is still a little depressed.

Xu Jie's eyes lit up, and he said quietly: "The summary is good, but these are not in line with the problem this time, the old man wants to hear what methods are there to alleviate the difficulties of the treasury at present?" ”

Liu An originally wanted to argue, but when he saw that the two adults opened their mouths, they gritted their teeth and kept silent.

The main Yu Jin is right, and he can't pick out the thorns even if he wants to.

Yu Jin said confidently: "To solve the dilemma of the treasury, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of money, when it comes to money, it is nothing more than opening up sources and reducing expenditures, opening sources is increasing revenues, and reducing expenditures is to reduce expenditures." ”

"There are many ways to open source, measure land, find out the embezzlement and concealment of officials and landlords, and collect taxes; For profiteering industries such as salt and tea, taxes can be appropriately increased or control in this regard can be strengthened; Setting up an entry tax at the city gate is one person per penny, so many people enter and exit every day, and a small amount of money accumulates; Commercial development is encouraged, and the more goods circulate, the more taxes the government receives. ”

"As for throttling, there are a lot that can be done here, such as checking redundant personnel, cutting office expenses, lowering some food standards at post stations, and opening up some post stations for passing business travelers, whose income can be subsidized expenditures, or outsourcing some post stations to reduce financial pressure.

said so much in one breath, no, it should be so much memorized, these are the summaries that later generations have seen others, they can't be explained in detail, just say the general meaning, anyway, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng who were present are all high-IQ people, they must be able to understand.

After speaking, Yu Jin was a little tired, and finally concluded: "The student is not talented, he has thought of so much, and there are mistakes and omissions, please forgive the three adults." ”

"What is the sin?" Gao Gong stroked his long beard and sighed: "I didn't expect a young man to have such vision and courage, the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, the blessing of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "This remark can be said to be insightful, and the uncle is not as good as it." ”

Xu Jie smiled, nodded and praised: "You are all right, you are high in the temple, you should listen to different voices more, okay, you must not be complacent, you still need to work hard." ”

After that, I picked up a cup of tea and blew it gently, blew it twice, and gently put it to my mouth and tasted it slowly.

"The three adults are busy with official business, and the students are retiring." Yu Jin, Yang Shuangzhi and their entourage retired in unison.

Lord Shousuke has already served tea to the guests, and if he doesn't have any eyes at all, there is no need to appear here.

A small assessment is not worth wasting too much time on the three ministers, Yu Jin and the others understand that the three adults still have to discuss it, and the final candidate will be determined in the end.

After this heated discussion, everyone is more or less aware of it.
