Chapter 891 - Making Money Alone Is Better Than Making Money in All (Medium)
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
In Ouyang Xuan's villa, many of the founding fathers present, whether they had titles or not, even if they didn't have titles, I am afraid that it would not take long to get the titles of those people also came. Anyone who was in the capital didn't miss it, and then they all came over. And everyone will discuss some important things here, especially about everyone's future, and everyone is related to the future of everyone's respective families. So everyone didn't dare to ignore it this time, this is a long-term wealth in the future.
"I've seen the emperor!" Everyone saluted together.
"Okay, there's no need to be polite today. I don't talk nonsense today, and today I also know that you nobles are secretly doing some business, right? I'm afraid, you have done a lot of business, I know this very well. Recently, the imperial court has been building a lot of construction, and it is simply business everywhere, are you not tempted? I'm afraid, you've all been doing some business in the dark lately, and then using it to make money, right? Wang Guorui asked.
Hu Chuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't hide it, the court has been full of business opportunities recently, and we old ministers have nothing to do at home, so naturally we are taking care of some business, and the affairs of the court are all left to those young people." ”
Since Hu Chuan retired from the position of chief of staff, he has not been assigned any position. So although he has the title of a county duke, he is also secretly taking care of the family's business, which can be regarded as cultivating his other sons. As for him, he still has to avoid suspicion at present, after all, his son is the vice chairman of the Military Commission, the vice chairman in charge of military affairs, and he can be regarded as a very popular minister in the military system. Naturally, he had to be careful. If he is too arrogant as a family member, he is causing trouble for his son!
So it's not that no one wants to follow his route, but they are all sent away by him, and they don't agree at all. At present, the wealth of the Hu family has been guaranteed, and there is no need to lose a big one because of a small one. But they did some business, and this was also used as some subsidies for the family.
As this honor. Are they really living on the money given by the government? If they only rely on the money from the government, they can't feed such a big family, they must run some industries, so that the family can feed. Therefore, it is a lot to do business secretly, and then use various privileges to maintain their own industries openly and secretly. This kind of thing can't be completely eliminated even in the afterlife, so what about this era? Wang Guorui did not plan to eliminate them completely, but planned to form a consortium by himself.
"Your Majesty, we have been here these days. It's always been very compliant, and I haven't done anything out of place! We have always followed the rules, paid taxes according to the rules, and did not do anything like cutting corners, shoddy, counterfeiting, etc., we have always done it in accordance with the rules, and did not do anything! Someone immediately explained.
Obviously, they all know that Wang Guorui hates counterfeiting and shoddy things. Wang Guorui was not involved in any fake and shoddy products, and even all kinds of toxic foods and so on. Therefore, his punishment for those toxic and harmful foods is very serious, and even the supervision of product quality is very strict. There is zero tolerance for quality supervision, once there is a product quality problem and a case breaks out, then 100% of the cases will be filed and imprisoned, and they must go to prison, but the difference between long and short, absolutely no tolerance.
So these nobles also know that Wang Guorui is paying taxes. And in terms of quality, he is very important, and of course they don't dare to mess around. Therefore, although they secretly opened their own companies, and even secretly helped their companies get orders and the like, they absolutely did not dare to make mistakes in quality, otherwise their subordinates would be sent to prison and lose face. And if Wang Guorui remembers it, it will be really troublesome in the future. Although Wang Guorui may not be able to catch it and there is actual evidence, as long as there is a suspicion or tacit understanding, it is enough to make him unlucky. The quality issue is very important, Wang Guorui attaches great importance to this one, and it is related to people's livelihood! If there is a problem with the quality of the company opened by Xungui, then it will stink the reputation of the entire Xungui, and it will be very difficult for even Wang Guorui, the emperor, to do this.
As for the rest of the tax according to the regulations, this is also a must. Because the reason why the ancient landlords were able to constantly annex land, in addition to political power, there is also an advantage that they do not have to pay taxes. They don't have to pay taxes, they can get a lot of people to come to them, they get the right to tax exemption by giving away these lands, and then they use the price less than the national tax burden in exchange for the ordinary people to contribute. In this way, they quickly annexed the land, and the ordinary people, in order to avoid the heavy taxes of the government, had to take the initiative to give the land to those who had the right to tax exemption, so that they became more centralized.
Therefore, in terms of tax exemption, Wang Guorui will also prohibit it, and even Wang Guorui's own industry will also have to pay taxes. This prevents the nobles from rapidly accumulating property through tax-free privileges and then continuing to wield economic power to exert excessive control over the state. It's not good if this lord has too loose control over the power of the state, and it's not good if it's too tight. If it is too strict, it is easy to form a kind of scholar clan like back then, and then that kind of scholar clan blocks the channel of class mobility of the people, which will definitely not work. Once the channels of class mobility are blocked, there will inevitably be some elites of the people who will try to overthrow them through revolution, which is also not good. Even Westerners know that they can't block the people's upward channel, otherwise they will suffer in the end.
Therefore, it is appropriate to accept some of the elites from the bottom into the ruling class, so as to give some hope to those elites, so that they do not consider seizing power positions by means of violent revolution, and then go down the road of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, so that they can see a certain hope and not take risks in the past.
Therefore, it is not good for these nobles to control the country too tightly, but if they are too relaxed, it will also make these nobles unlucky in the end. And the way to limit the nobles from becoming gluttonous monsters is in terms of taxation. To a certain extent, it is necessary to curb the rapid expansion of those nobles through taxation, and to avoid some people who think that in order to avoid taxes, they will find mergers with nobles, or transfer them to Xungui by other means, which will definitely not work.
"Okay, I'm coming to you today, not to talk to you about tax evasion and cutting corners. If there is such a thing, I will not come and ask about it, and just ask the government people to come to you. Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui's meaning is very obvious, although on the surface he said that he would not ask, that means let the government go directly to official business, and there is no need to come to him to intercede, because it is useless.
"I'm looking for you today, not to ban everyone from engaging in business, but to coordinate it, and then we'll form a Kang Cai En, a cross-industry Kang Cai En. And then we each have our own direction so that we can control our domestic economy through this way of working together. Next, we try to avoid going directly to the government in person, and even the nobles try to avoid entering the cabinet to serve in senior positions such as prime ministers. In the future, we will try to fade out of public view, and then control the country by controlling the economy, not directly by some method of direct rule. For those governments that are open to the public, we can make them listen to us through support or some means, and then we can control all kinds of private industries through the economy, so as to ensure our control over the state, and ensure that we can not have major problems. And the government will become the people's punching bag, and we can change the government one by one, and then they will be the people's punching bag for us. ”
"Of course, we will divide the labor of this Kang Caien, and then use this Kang Cai En means to cross-sharehold, borrow from each other, and then borrow from each other and other means to strive for integration, so that we can control the economy well. And then we can control various areas secretly, and then avoid internal competition between us, which hurts the harmony. It can also avoid our repeated investment, which is not conducive to our future development. In particular, some key industries, such as finance, energy, roads, and many basic service industries of the country, are very important to the country, and of course they cannot be given to outsiders casually. We are all people who share weal and woe with the country, so controlling our hands can bring enough benefits to our family on the one hand, and on the other hand, we can avoid falling into the hands of those who are too selfish, and finally the country will collapse. After all, we fought this country, and we can't just let those who don't have any merit but want to pick peaches swallow it. ”
"The emperor is wise!" Everyone hurriedly said.
Next, we are ready to divide those key industries, and then especially those industries that affect the lifeblood of the country, so that everyone should pay great attention to it. Then everyone began to prepare to divide various industries, and the strong people could monopolize a certain industry according to the situation, and then on the other hand, the weak could consider several to swallow an industry together. Even, it is possible to strengthen the ties between families through various methods of cross-shareholding. This ensures that you have me and I have you in the control of these business interests, so that it is relatively safest.
