If it was said before that the conditions for entering the capitalist society were ripe, then what Locke was worried about next was the most headache for him.

What is a capitalist society like, Locke knows it! The aristocracy's early education would have made them immediately aware of the benefits they could gain from such a system! As well as some businessmen who have eaten dividends in the reform of the system, they will also gradually emerge!

In a capitalist society, who suffers the most? Undoubtedly, ordinary civilians!

When the evil consequences of capitalism appear, the common people, who cannot bear it, will vent their dissatisfaction to those in power. The great nobles or the great merchants might have taken the opportunity to deceive the people, and in that era, what better scapegoat than the royal family? Perhaps Locke's descendants, or even Locke, would have to act as Louis XVI once.

Now sitting in the position of King of Lordaeron, Locke has a lot of ambitions to fulfill, and he gradually sees more clearly. If Lordaeron wants to truly rise and occupy the position of the leader of the alliance, then Lordaeron must have the strength to suppress other kingdoms. Thus completing Minecil's unfinished business... Unite the kingdom of men!

Only by using his own development experience that is far beyond the development experience of this planet for thousands of years can he fundamentally solve the problems he is facing now!

Obviously, improving Lordaeron's current system of sub-sealing is almost inevitable! But if you follow the monarchy and dictatorship you imagine, and you don't want your children and grandchildren to be pressed to the beheading platform, then there are many problems that need to be solved.

The first problem is that Lordaeron's new regime will require huge fiscal expenditures, and agricultural taxes will certainly not work.

In this world, a significant portion of a kingdom's tax revenue comes from agricultural taxes. Even the kingdom of Kul Tiras, which started as a maritime trader, accounted for 40% of its domestic agricultural taxes!

In this world, in the vast wilderness, the weed-like bandits, fishmen, jackals, etc., make the dangers encountered by merchants who travel long distances skyrocket. This is also why Locke has been fighting these bad bugs in Lordaeron, just to create a safe environment. The effect is obvious, and now Lordaeron... No, it can only be said that in today's Iva, almost 100% of the tax comes from the transaction tax, and the agricultural tax is almost none! This is also the greatest reliance of Locke's determination to improve the political system!

Because of the support of the gold mines, and in order to further attract the population to Iva, Locke's promise to exempt the peasants from most agricultural taxes also played a considerable role. Of course, people only have the idea of consumption when they are full!

In order to stimulate business development, he did not hesitate to set up a powerful law enforcement agency such as the Ministry of the Interior, integrate the garrison corps, change the names of the sheriffs in various towns, and establish a regular police department.

The second question is, what if there is a famine or a war in the kingdom, but the treasury cannot come up with the money? Business taxes alone are not enough!

The third question is, if the royal family or the kingdom does not hold the important financial resources in their hands and form an overwhelming force, what if the local nobles swell and attack themselves?

Originally, Locke's original plan was to set up various state-owned companies in the name of the royal family or the kingdom to specialize in key business activities such as people's livelihood and resources. However, I am afraid that the experience from the previous life will not be suitable for this society that is still only the embryonic capital, and even in the early days of the country in later generations, it is a problem that the government cannot be implemented in various places, not only with a decree of their own.

This will inevitably cause a backlash from the nobles everywhere, and now that he is the king, he can no longer wantonly break the rules of the game as he did in the past.

However, if commercial activities are properly liberalized, the production efficiency of large industrial and commercial owners in various places will gradually decrease after they become unprofitable, and the price of government-run production will be expensive, and the quality may not be good because of the lack of supervision.

The monopoly economy, without a market to compete, will inevitably become a stagnant water, and it will become smaller and smaller...

Eventually, Locke's descendants went to the guillotine...

Moreover, there are drawbacks to the monopoly in different periods, such as the strategic grain reserve warehouse that Locke is about to set up to regulate grain prices, and the behavior of forcibly purchasing grain according to the fixed low grain price when the grain price is high will create a negative situation, competing with civilians for the profits, but the original intention of the strategic reserve warehouse is only to protect the interests of civilians...

Not only that, but the monopoly will also lead to the emergence of a crony economy, forming a privileged group that grabs private interests in the name of monopoly.

And there is another troublesome problem, such as setting up a franchised iron ore mine, which needs to be managed by positive and negative administrative officers, right? Mining, transportation, and sales are all handled by positive and negative supply and marketing, which requires officials and the public, right? It is inevitable that there will be corruption, bribery, and deception, and the man-made losses and administrative expenses are even more incalculable, right?

The experience of Earth in a previous life taught Locke that it was almost inevitable!

Can an executive order really control other people's stealing of resources?

There are government-run mineral institutions, but for the sake of huge profits, there will naturally be many people who risk hanging to fight against the kingdom's monopoly and smuggle on a large scale! Although the Ministry of the Interior has been set up by itself, and preventive measures such as police, surveillance, and rapid reaction forces have been set up to intercept major roads in cities and towns, businessmen will climb mountains and mountains for profit, and evade inspections in the face of stars and moons. You will get an admission certificate through bribery, forgery, etc., and for the sake of shiny gold coins, even if you cross the endless sea and cross the maelstrom, you will not be miserable! Once the kingdom strikes them hard, they may suffer a temporary loss, but it will not hurt the roots. When it's all over, it's not impossible to quickly regain lost ground, and even a few more smugglers among them...

Although Locke likes merchants, he is also quite helpless about this ability of merchants...

You know, the farthest in this world is not the armies of any country, not wizards or missionaries of faith, but merchants! Goblin merchants, human merchants, etc., they have traveled to every corner of the planet, trading with every intelligent race that can communicate.

This reminded Locke of the famous words of his own country during the time of the earth...

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

Locke also thought of using various excuses to crack down on those big businessmen in the future, but the tail of capitalism cannot be cut clean. When the time comes, the merchants' tails will grow back as quickly as a baby gecko, even thicker than before, and they will be as rich as the country! So, no matter how much Locke tried to suppress the merchant in his thoughts, he couldn't do without the merchant...

It's so contradictory... Because the exchange of commodities is a necessary means of economic development in the present conditions. Making a fortune is an idea that everyone has in their hearts, so after the successful restructuring of Lordaeron in the future, it is not feasible to suppress businessmen, even if they cut a stubble, new ones will grow.

But Locke naturally understands that it can't be said that relying on businessmen doesn't care about it, for example, in the previous life, the country was nominally led by the president, but in fact, it was the big capitalists on Huaer Street who were in charge. Once that time comes, no, not even then, the royal family becomes an ornament. Because at that time, the royal family may no longer be able to grasp the military power.

Locke sighed, pondered for a while, and shouted outside, "Go and ask Prime Minister Mormont, Viscount Arnold, and Count Hansen to come over." ”

Since it has been decided to push the government of this kingdom into the capitalist society, it is already equivalent to opening Pandora's box, and while these people still do not understand the specific way here, then strive to make a good start! Let them preconceive to recognize my basic national policy!

Locke, who came from the earth in his previous life, already had a way to deal with it in his heart, but he still needed his ministers to understand it.

But as soon as Locke raised his head, the three of them walked in under the guidance of his squire.

"What? None of you left? Locke asked strangely, after all, the squire had just gone out...

The three of them stood there a little embarrassed, and finally they looked at each other a few times, and Mormont took the lead helplessly, "Your Majesty, what you threw us is a hot potato!" ”

"Not only the three of us, but the other adults are also outside the door, waiting for your majesty's guidance." Berg also came out a little embarrassed and said, he thought that his work would be the same as before, after all, he used to do this, but when he turned out the information of the department he was responsible for, he was really surprised!

The amount of work in between is simply exhausting to him! What just embarrassed him was that the documents were filled with a lot of terms that he couldn't understand. Although Locke's explanation of the policy documents sent to him could help him solve the problem, in order not to make a mistake, he decided to wait for Locke to ask for an explanation from His Majesty and save him from undue mistakes.

"Well, I know your difficulties. But I don't have to worry about this yet, I have something to consult, my Prime Minister, and my two ministers. Locke beckoned them to sit down, paused, and in their serious expressions, Locke told them the purpose of developing business, as well as the disadvantages of it, and provided two routes.

First, the restrictions on business activities should be completely relaxed; As a result, the economy was active, and there were frequent exchanges in various places, but there were big merchants and nobles who were even richer than the kingdom.

Second, all commercial activities are run by the kingdom, the country is stable, and the country is first-class, but the private business is withering and shrinking, and it lacks competitiveness.

"How do you choose?"

The three of them were silent, but secretly they were very shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect that the king was already thinking about what was going to happen in the future! But subconsciously, they suddenly felt that this was the exam question given to them by the king. After all, the king is already making such decisions.

"Ahem! Cough! Mormont was the first to cough a few times, breaking the calm.

"Your Majesty, I think we should go to the Kingdom Franchise. I have seen your vision for the future of the Kingdom. I have to say, this is a great, epoch-making reform! Mormont patted his ass first, "If we can successfully withstand this model, then we will definitely become the only human country on this planet!" ”
