Section 1393 Painting a Flatbread (2)
Looking at Guan Tao's eager eyes, Liu Che laughed, this kind of thing as painting cakes, as a traverser, is much more powerful than the people before the Western Yuan!
In particular, Liu Che has seen all kinds of capital operations in later generations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He looked at the pavilion and explained softly: "In today's world, those who eat Lu compete with the people for profit, which is a great disaster for the country, but people's hearts are oriented to profit, which is instinct! The ancients, officials and nobles were much higher than others, so the gentleman sat down and was not greedy for small profits! This is not the case in the present world, where a single person sells it, and it can be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions of ......."
Guan Tao listened, I don't know why, although she is the eldest princess of the empire, her literary attainments and cultural knowledge are ......
But Zhou Yafu behind the screen listened, but he was secretly silent.
As the prime minister, of course he knows what the current situation is in the world.
On the one hand, the country's power has skyrocketed, and the empire's cultural and martial arts are almost comparable to three generations.
On the other hand, society is divided, torn, and hurt!
Since Taizong, the loose economic policy has promoted the prosperity of merchants and industry and commerce, and when the first emperor was the emperor, there were already giants with tens of thousands of families.
For example, Deng Tong, Taizong's favorite minister, actually held hundreds of thousands of coinage industries!
In comparison, even if there are 10,000 households in the food estate, and the liehou who is also the Jiuqing, the income at the age of one is only millions.
A merchant who should be lowly is rich because of his wealth.
The noble scholar and the marquis were dwarfed by the merchants because of their wealth.
Such a violent impact has caused people's three views to be shaken.
Therefore, starting from Jia Yi, the Han literary and political circles began to focus on discussing and discussing related issues.
And these discussions, in the end, formed a system in the hands of Chao Cuo.
In "Gui Su Shu", he clearly put forward the argument that 'gold and jade, cold can not be clothed, hunger can not eat', and it emphasizes that today's "law is cheap businessmen, and businessmen are rich and noble, respect farmers, but farmers are poor and cheap".
But today, even the seemingly radical arguments of the past are outdated.
Since Yuande, the rise of businessmen has been getting faster and faster!
There are more and more businessmen with millions, tens of millions, or even tens of thousands of families.
Compared with the wealth of these wealthy and luxurious merchants, the feudal lords were ashamed and only wanted to find a place to get into, the princes were envious and jealous, and the scholars and doctors quietly began to instruct the side branches and concubines to do business.
The whole society has been cut apart by the fact that wealth is gold.
If this situation is maintained and continues to develop for another thirty or fifty years, Zhou Yafu can even predict that in the future, it is very likely that there will be feudal kings among the merchants, and there will also be liehous (who have already appeared).
This undoubtedly aroused the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the entire group of lieges and scholars.
I don't know how many princes have privately discussed: "The other generation (businessman) is greedy for profit and unjust, has no gentlemanly style, and is sincerely hateful and killable!" ”
The scholars and doctors also openly discussed: "The husband is untrustworthy, so he is treacherous and clever; Jia people are unrighteous, so they do everything; If the Jia people are not virtuous, they will brutalize and harm the people...... In the long run, the country will not be a country......"
It is this kind of trend that continues to fuel the fire, so that as soon as the relocation plan of the nine cities of Chang'an was announced, most of the relatives of the princes and nobles in the entire Chang'an took action.
According to what they say, we are here to purify the unhealthy tendencies in the Dahan shopping mall, and use the wind of a gentleman to wash away these unhealthy tendencies and set an example.
Of course, everyone knows what the truth is.
And these problems, Zhou Yafu knows, the root of which lies there.
But he couldn't do anything.
Because, these things seem to be manipulated secretly by the Son of Heaven.
Think about it carefully, since Yuande, the actions of the Son of Heaven.
First of all, the salt and iron government camp, the right to mint money was returned to the state, and the minting of five baht coins greatly increased the country's income, so he could declare 'never give more', and he could use this huge financial resource to expand externally.
Then, the development of Andong and the gold rush attracted a large number of immigrants, but at the same time, the sea routes were also opened.
Qilu's goods, wealth, and personnel could reach Andong and North Korea directly by sea routes.
Chen Huan's whaling industry and Linqiong's metallurgical industry are making money day by day.
The fate of the miserable Southwest Yi and the Uno Islands is unattended.
The gradual rise of maritime trade led to a further boom in commerce.
The flow of goods and people brought wealth to the people of the world.
It stimulates groups of people to devote themselves to industry and commerce.
Today, there are almost three to four million people engaged in commerce, transportation, handicrafts, textiles, and smelting.
And the wealth they have created far exceeds the output of three or four million farmers.
In fact, today, the power of the Chinese merchants, at least in terms of wealth, has laid the foundation.
Unless the Son of Heaven ordered a severe crackdown, re-established the Guanjin system, and severely restricted the movement of people, it would not be possible to prevent the continued prosperity and prosperity of the merchants.
Just as he sighed like this, Zhou Yafu heard the Son of Heaven say again: "The system of the first king is to prepare, so the husband will be crowned!" However, now Hanlu is light, far light businessmen's benefits! There will be chaos in this! ”
Zhou Yafu nodded with emotion as he listened.
The Son of Heaven can see this, which shows that the Son of Heaven is not unaware of the situation outside.
The current Han officialdom is experiencing an unprecedented ideological chaos.
Even if it is a 2,000-stone feudal official, the income from a year old, counting all kinds of allowances, subsidies and rewards, is only a few hundred thousand a year.
And such a little income, to speak a word of conscience, can't support the façade of a party leader.
Not to mention, as a county guard, you can't go out by yourself and walk, right?
As a county guard, you can't even wash your own clothes, right?
You have to hire a dozen servants in the house!
Then the education of the children, the marriage problem, these all need money.
In the past, when there was no comparison, the two thousand stones could still maintain peace of mind, and at most do something public and private.
The rise of merchants has had a serious impact on these feudal officials.
A 2,000 stone, a lifetime of hard work, can leave a million family to his children's descendants, and this person's ability to knock on the bone and suck the marrow is very superb.
However, today's businessmen, without much effort, are counted in tens of millions.
In Pinglu, these tens of millions of giants are even allowed to have the right to write books!
This kind of impact makes many people unable to bear it at all.
As a result, the families of officials in various places began to participate in the business.
Now, these guys still have scruples, they are still afraid, they don't dare to be blatant, and they don't dare to go too far.
But, in the long run, maybe they will play some moth in the future!
The state will pay the price.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yafu also shook his head.
He knew that the Son of Heaven had ambitions and great ambitions.
But this business matter is very likely to drag all this down.
Anyway, Zhou Yafu couldn't imagine what the world would be like if officials and nobles also started doing business?
In the court, I am afraid it will also become a vegetable market for bargaining.
However, he was powerless to stop it.
Because, it was not only businessmen who were involved in this wave, but also the vast number of scholars, princes and even the royal family.
This is a hornet's nest, and almost no one dares to touch it except the Son of Heaven.
…………………………
Liu Che looked at the confused Pavilion Tao and smiled slightly in his heart, he didn't say these words to the Pavilion Tao.
He continued softly: "It is in such a situation that if I indulge, the wind of self-interest will rise, and the heart of greed will be indiscriminate! If they are brought to justice by law, there will be resentment ......"
Saying this, Liu Che was also emotional.
In fact, the most difficult thing in the world is to govern the country.
Because you will have to face a dilemma all the time.
Just like the current Han dynasty, Liu Che wanted to develop and incubate China's bourgeoisie and establish and build an industrialized society.
It will definitely bring about the rise of merchants and the prosperity of capital.
It's a well-known thing – doing business is always better than making money by digging in the field!
And before this AD, it was even more so.
The profits of doing business are so great that even the saints cannot control their inner peace.
The massive wealth washes away the cognition of the inherent society, and washes the three views of the new generation.
Thereupon......
Countless people began to lose their discipline and began to use the power in their hands to gain benefits for themselves.
In this process, smart people have the practices of smart people.
For example, Taohou Liu She, he asked his sons to quietly get a few vests, and then privately opened a few workshops to produce all kinds of consumables for Shaofu.
In a year, I can easily earn millions without any moral pressure and dilemma.
Liu Che knew this, but didn't care about it.
And some fools are too stupid to do because their brains are too stupid, so what they do is really unacceptable.
For example, last year, Zhang Jue, the lieutenant of Luoyang, was stupid enough to ask his brother-in-law to inform the merchants of the entire Luoyang one by one - you must use my ships and chariots and horses to transfer supplies.
As a result, he was sued by Tingwei, and the whole family went to the prison for a tour......
Yes, in the face of such a situation, Liu Che can't do it, and if he manages too much, there may be problems.
After all, in the future, there will definitely be more and more similar things.
As long as Liu Che still wants to continue this game of incubating the bourgeoisie, the convergence of officials and businessmen and the expansion of their power will be inevitable.
And if he goes to rectify it under the banner of 'anti-corruption', it will definitely cause a counterattack by the bureaucratic aristocracy.
Liu Che was not afraid of their counterattack, but he was afraid that these guys would deliberately make trouble and block.
And...... In fact...... Liu Che has no way to solve this problem!
The reason is simple, this is an inevitable process for the development of capital in China.
Not to mention now, in another 2,000 years, the same will be true of China's capital development.
The reason why he said this was just to let Zhou Yafu know: he, the emperor, knew the situation, understood the current problem, and knew the solution.
Of course, at the same time, this is also to fool the museum pottery.
After all, if you want to raise money, how can you not fool around? How can I not draw cakes?
Therefore, Liu Che said bitterly: "I am worried about this, I think about it day and night, and seek a solution......
"These days, I have thought of a few ways......
Liu Che stretched out a finger and said: "First: I plan to establish a recusal system: in the future, all family members of officials are not allowed to do business or have an industry under the rule of the official, if there is indeed an industry or engage in business, it must be declared to the Shaofu and the Imperial History!" ”
It was common practice for officials to declare their assets in the Han dynasty.
In the past, as an official in the Han Dynasty, you needed to meet the calculation standard.
Liu Che abolished this system after he ascended the throne, but when electing officials, officials still need to truthfully report their assets.
This is supervised by the imperial historian's yamen, if the official conceals his property, he will lose his official position, and at worst he will go to the Tingwei yamen to drink tea.
This is not only supervision, but also to untie the shackles of officials' families.
Ya Nei or something, may be born early.
But Liu Che knew that even if he didn't do it, the Yanai would definitely appear!
It's like Confucianism now shouting 'not competing with the people for profit', but in fact, in history, it is the Confucian people who compete with the people the most.
After all, people with high morals are in the minority in society as a whole.
You can't expect everyone to be saints.
Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts.
Instead of building a tall archway, it is better to set up a vulgar system.
The torii will collapse and decay, but the system will not.
Especially those systems that are one-size-fits-all.
For example, at the beginning, Liu Bang and Guanzhong's father agreed on three chapters: the murderer dies, the wounding and the theft is punished.
For decades, whoever commits it dies! Never tolerated!
As a result, even the princes had to be human with their tails between their legs.
That's more than 10,000 slogans!
Of course, the current system needs to be improved, supplemented, and modified.
At the very least, we should not tell the officials and the people of the world so blatantly that the relatives of the officials can do business.
In this case, Confucianism will not be able to stand it!
"Second, I plan to raise the salaries of officials in the world to support their ......honesty with generosity," Liu Che stretched out his second finger and said.
Guantao is not clear, so she still hasn't understood, what does this have to do with Shaofu's stripping of the salt and iron yamen and the coinage yamen?
But Zhou Yafu behind the screen had already nodded slightly.
The first of these two measures proposed by the Son of Heaven is open to discussion, and he has reservations, but he does not oppose it - because he knows what the current officialdom and the future officialdom will be like, and it is better to have restraint and supervision than nothing.
As for the second one, Houlu Yanglian is very much in line with Zhou Yafu's appetite.
After all, the salaries of the current Han officials are still too small.
Let's take him as a prime minister, although there are more than 10,000 households, it is still ten thousand stones.
But the annual income and taxes add up to a few million.
Such a small amount of money is nothing in this Chang'an City.
And the lower-level officials of 200 stone and 400 stone, if they are not corrupt, they will not even be able to support their own families!
"As for this third ......" Liu Che looked at the pavilion Tao and said with a smile: "It is my policy to show my willingness to rule the world with the world's scholars and nobles - I will strip the salt and iron yamen and the money casting yamen from the Shaofu, one of which is: the salt and iron division, specializing in the world's salt and iron, and the other is the money company, which is responsible for the issuance, minting and sale of copper coins, gold and other precious metals......
After throwing out the big cake, Liu Che asked with a smile, "I don't know if my aunt is interested?" ”
