Chapter 79 State Units
On this day, Liu Ying found an opportunity to go to the street to buy something for Mei Ling'er.
As I was walking, I suddenly tripped over a person.
The man grabbed Liu Ying, "Oh, I'm sorry, girl, are you okay?" ”
Liu Ying waved her hand and said, "It's okay." ”
Someone next to him said, "You broke the girl, and you didn't send someone to the doctor?" ”
The man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, you should send the girl to the doctor." ”
Liu Ying didn't understand what was going on, and said again and again: "No need, I'm fine, I can walk." ”
But the two of them were very enthusiastic, and they took Liu Ying away one after the other, and the people next to them didn't see the flaws.
They took Liu Ying into a medical hall, directly into the back hall, and then closed the door, and their faces changed.
"Liu Ying, it's been a month since you entered the Prince's Mansion, why haven't you moved at all?"
"yes, don't you even have a chance to be poisoned?"
"Did you seduce Chen Mu? What do I think of you as a virgin? ”
As soon as the two sang and harmonized, Liu Ying finally understood.
"You're from the Yin Tang Organization?"
The man said, "Nonsense! Have you forgotten all the things you promised to the left protector? ”
Another person said: "Who gave you money, treated you, and instructed you to go to Chen Mu to complain?" ”
The person next to him said: "It was Zuo Protector who told you that Chen Mugu is famous and famous, and he will definitely help you take revenge." ”
The other person continued: "That is, after the affairs of your Liu family are done, have you forgotten the kindness of the left protector?" ”
Liu Ying lowered her head, bit her lip, and finally said: "However, the Chen Mu I saw is not like this, he is very good to the people in the house, and everyone also says that Chen Mu has done a lot of things that benefit the country and the people......"
A member of the Yin Tang Organization interrupted, "What did you say? Are you suspicious of the Left Protector? ”
Liu Ying was aggrieved, thinking about how to refute.
At that moment, the door was kicked open.
More than a dozen black-clothed people surrounded the three of them in the center, and Chen Mu walked in through the gate.
"Yin Tang Organization, it's really you."
These dozen or so people are secret guards, Chen Mu got the news from Mai Wei, and immediately brought people over.
Chen Mu deliberately brought more than a dozen reliable secret guards to do things, and Mai Wei was in charge of the secret investigation, and Chen Mu would not let them show up easily.
As soon as the two of them heard that Chen Mu was calling the Po Yin Tang Organization, and that they were already surrounded by so many masters, they did not hesitate to take something out of their arms and put it in their mouths.
Chen Mu immediately reacted, this was going to commit suicide by taking poison.
"Take it!"
The secret guard listened to the order and stepped forward with a sword to restrain the two. Unfortunately, their movements were still slow, and one man managed to commit suicide by taking poison.
Another man was slashed in the arm, and poison fell to the ground.
Chen Mu ordered: "Take him back for torture and thoroughly investigate this medical hall." ”
The people of the Yin Tang Organization will not find a random medical hall, and the Eight Achievements here are controlled by the Yin Tang Organization.
A few of the guards left with the people, and the rest scattered to investigate the medical hall.
Chen Mu walked up to Liu Ying and said softly, "Are you okay?" When I heard that you had been taken captive, I brought someone with me. ”
Liu Ying's eyes were a little evasive, "I, I'm fine." ”
Chen Mu nodded, "That's good, come home with me." ”
After Liu Ying heard Chen Mu's words, her heart trembled.
Go home? After the death of both her parents, no one said it again. But today, Chen Mu, the person she wanted to poison, actually said this to her.
Liu Ying was so confused that she didn't know whether to tell the truth or not.
If the truth is not told, it is not conducive to Chen Mu's investigation; If the truth is revealed, if Chen Mu turns her face, then she will lose this last warmth forever.
Just when she hesitated, Chen Mu had already turned around and left.
Chen Mu heard that Liu Ying didn't move, turned around and beckoned, "Let's go, just leave it to the dark guard here." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."
Looking at Chen Mu's smile, Liu Ying finally made up her mind. This truth, she may or may not say.
However, from today onwards, she really began to repay Chen Mu.
……
The next morning, Chen Mu proposed a plan.
It is necessary to set up state-run units in Daxia.
This concept is too advanced, and everyone doesn't understand what it means, even Chen Xingtian doesn't understand.
Chen Mu could only explain that the so-called state-run units, in fact, strictly speaking, already existed in Great Xia, and the armaments and salt were all state-run.
Since Chen Mu rectified the private army, weapons and armor are not allowed to be manufactured by private individuals, otherwise it is a crime.
Salt has been state-owned since a long time ago, and private individuals are not allowed to resell it or mine it.
However, none of these things are profitable, and the weapons and armor are finished in the imperial court, and they are also equipped for the army, and they will not be sold.
The price of salt is low and there is not much income.
The state-owned units mentioned by Chen Mu are all-encompassing.
For example, many of the foods and supplies invented by Chen Mu will be manufactured by state-owned units, which can ensure the original taste on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a means of cultural protection.
It may be lost and misrepresented among the people, but the state-run unit has the most original formula, which may be well protected.
There are also some things that Fanbang pays tribute to, which will also be produced by state-owned units and sold to the masses to increase the revenue of the state treasury.
Food and supplies are not forbidden to be imitated by the people, but the things that Fanbang pays tribute to should definitely not flow into the people, so once there is imitation among the people, it may flow out secretly.
In this way, it is guaranteed that these tributes can be sold at a high price.
After hearing this, Chen Xingtian felt that this plan could enrich the treasury, and he immediately agreed to it.
At this time, someone stood up against it.
"Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Chen Xingtian looked at it, and it was the minister in charge of taxation, Sui Qing, who spoke.
"Oh? Sui Aiqing, the crown prince's law can increase a lot of taxes, how can you, as the Minister of Taxation, think it is inappropriate? ”
Sui Qing said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the minister is responsible for taxation that he knows that this law is inappropriate. ”
"Your Majesty imagines that if such state-owned units are really opened, they will inevitably be supported by the government, and they will definitely become bigger and bigger, and similar businesses in the private sector will be affected."
"As a result, those merchants will move on to other businesses. So it seems to have increased taxes, but in fact, it is tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. ”
"Not only will it not increase the total tax revenue, but it will cost the people and money, and waste the manpower of the imperial court."
Chen Xingtian frowned after hearing this, what Sui Qing said was not unreasonable, he really couldn't think of how to refute it for a while.
At this time, Chen Mu smiled and said, "Lord Sui's words are wrong! ”
"Daxia is vast, and in order to ensure the quality, the state-owned units need to be personally guided by me, so they can only be opened near the capital."
