Chapter 32: Night (4) [4k, ask for subscription]

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke with a disgusted gaze: "Did you think of this when you kid first issued your ID card?" ”

Chen Ke shook his head slightly, and under Ying Zheng's slightly surprised look, he said calmly: "Actually, it's not just this, there are many functions of identity proof. ”

"It can be said that in the past few years, none of the systems I have proposed, whether they are new inventions, have been useful in this one."

"The identification system is still only available to a certain extent, but in the future, it will become more and more developed, and the identification system, or simple identification, will be a must for everyone."

"Without a guide, you may still be able to survive in the past Daqin, but without an ID card, you will definitely not be able to live in today's Daqin."

Ying Zheng didn't feel that what Chen Ke said was alarmist, after all, he could feel the role of identity more and more.

Therefore, he also said with emotion: "So, to update the identity certificate from generation to generation? ”

Chen Ke nodded: "Not bad." ”

Li Si also interjected at this time and said: "In fact, the identity certificate has a certain time limit and has another function, which can play the role of census population, and there is no need to census the population at certain specific times as in previous years." ”

"After the introduction of the system of using the population registration as proof to apply for land, I was worried about the death of someone, but I did not report it or mourn because of the land."

"And today's three-year identity verification system can ensure that even if those people can occupy the land, they will not be able to occupy it for too long."

"Three years at most."

"In the past three years, the imperial court can still wait."

Speaking of this, Li Si's voice was also filled with a little pity: "The loss of a labor force is not a good thing for the Qianshou. ”

"So this is a maximum of three years, which can be regarded as a buffer period for them."

"It's kind of a potential rule."

Chen Ke also said with a smile: "And the three-year buffer period actually has another effect, that is, for the sake of the land, the Qianshou will find another person to replace the land." ”

"For example, having children."

Chen Ke smiled, but his voice was full of fun and bad taste: "The population of Daqin today is still too small. ”

"Whether it is Tianshan Prefecture or Beihai Prefecture, or the Baiyue Land that is about to be conquered, or the geographical area that will be conquered in the future, a large number of people are needed."

"What if there is no population? It can only encourage people to have children,"

"What's the best way to encourage people to have children?"

"It is not to persecute them with exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, not to persecute them with endless pressure, but to stand in their position as an idea and think about the solution to the problem."

"For example, this three-year grace period plus a new field system."

"Giving birth to a population gives you the right to use a piece of land, which in itself will motivate people to have children, because there are tangible benefits hanging ahead."

"And the three-year grace period is a small pressure to force them to have children, after all, people don't necessarily work hard because they don't get something, but they do work hard because they don't want to lose what they get."

Fusu sat on the side, watching Chen Ke talk eloquently, with a helpless look on his face.

He didn't expect that it was just a field system and an identity system, and his teacher could think so far away, and even connect these things together.

And the final purpose turned out to be such a very important thing, but it seems to have nothing to do with these two systems.......

Even Ying Zheng and Li Si felt a little emotional when they listened to Chen Ke's words.

Although they also thought of this, they still felt that Chen Ke's thinking was really terrifying, and he was simply taking a hundred steps to see a hundred steps.

Li Si even said with emotion: "I said Chen Ke, you are so troubled, aren't you afraid of Huafa's early birth?" ”

Chen Ke subconsciously touched his hair and said with a smile: "Huafa was born early? Not really. ”

"I don't bother, I just think of it and do it."

He looked at Ying Zheng and Li Si, and said quite innocently: "Actually, when I was doing something, I didn't connect them, but when I saw them later, I suddenly felt that they could be connected." ”

"It's all unintentional."

"Believe me."

Chen Ke's eyes were sincere and sincere, but Ying Zheng and Li Si both looked disbelieving, and they looked like they didn't lie and deceive people.

Seeing this sobriety, Chen Ke helplessly turned his head to look at Fusu who was standing on the side.

And Fusu also loosened his shoulders, expressing helplessness.

Chen Ke pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, let's continue to talk about the policy of the new currency." ”

"I feel that there shouldn't be many people who exchange gold, because gold is a precious metal, even if we don't allow this thing to circulate, but as long as the exchange point exists, gold will still circulate in private."

"Unless we open the circulation of gold coins now."

"But the circulation of gold coins will invisibly make gold flow out of the hands of the imperial court, such precious metals, and things that are not easy to deform, the minister feels that it should still be in the hands of the imperial court."

Li Si squinted slightly, and then thought about it and said: "Therefore, the ultimate ownership of the coin plan should be something that has no value in itself, needs to be given value by the imperial court, and has to be reviewed all the time with the prestige of the imperial court itself?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Si, Ying Zheng, and Fusu glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Paper! ”

Chen Ke looked at the three of them, and his expression was actually a little surprised.

Perhaps paper money will be familiar to people in the future, and even for people in the Tang and Song dynasties, it is not impossible to achieve, but now it is Daqin, and it is Daqin that has been nearly a thousand years away from the Tang and Song dynasties......

Chen Ke felt a little emotion in his heart, and he really couldn't underestimate the ancients.

In fact, the ancients were just a little short of aura, and with this aura, he would definitely not be able to play with these ancients.

He immediately nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"Paper money is guaranteed by the prestige and credibility of the imperial court, and one thing must be guaranteed, that is, paper money can be exchanged for silver in large quantities, and there can be no situation where paper money can be exchanged for silver, but it cannot be exchanged."

"This is the beginning."

Chen Ke sneered: "In the early days, there will definitely be wealthy businessmen hoarding some banknotes, wanting to devalue the banknotes, and then buying a large number of banknotes, and then exchanging them again, and then forming a vicious circle, making Daqin's banknotes bankrupt." ”

"So at this stage, we're going to hoard a lot of silver and buy a lot of gold from them."

"In this way, even if they have a small amount of silver and gold in their hands, they don't have to worry."

Chen Ke said softly: "Wait until the early stage, find a few mistakes, and slaughter those pigs that have been fattened." ”

"Since ancient times, isn't the fastest way to get rich just to raid your family and destroy your family?"

Saying this, Ying Zheng was a little helpless: "I said Chen Ke, what are you thinking about this kid?" ”

He was a little curious: "How do I feel that you are a little hostile to rich businessmen?" ”

Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me by saying this, how can I be hostile to a wealthy businessman?" ”

"I just feel that these people are living to contribute to Great Qin, aren't they?"

He smiled: "They gather the people's money in their own hands, but they don't want to contribute to the development of the court and Daqin." ”

"That can only be done by the imperial court."

Ying Zheng said with emotion; "We can't deal with rich businessmen so simply and rudely, which will affect their desire to make money, so that we can't always have a stable source of money."

He said casually: "Do you two still remember, the original Ba widow Qing?" ”

When Fusu heard the name, he immediately sat up straight, and his heart was filled with curiosity.

Ba widow Qing Ke was a wealthy businessman who was praised by Yingzheng himself, and even built Huaiqing Terrace for her.

So far, there are still people speculating whether the first emperor had a love for his mother, otherwise why would he respect a widow so much?

Even Fusu, who is a son, is very curious.

However, Chen Ke and Li Si's expressions did not change in the slightest, and both of them knew the inside story.

Only ordinary Qianshou and some stupid people will feel that Yingzheng built Huaiqingtai to miss the Ba widow Qing.

In other words, Ying Zheng really misses the Ba widow Qing, but he misses the huge wealth that is so easy to obtain.....

Ba widow Qing, a famous merchant and strong man in Bashu, after her husband died, she took control of the family, and then occupied the land of Bashu, began to accumulate money crazily, and finally became a well-known rich businessman.

And after Yingzheng praised the Ba widow Qing, he asked someone to take the Ba widow Qing to Xianyang City.

Not only the Ba Widow Qing, but all the people of the entire Ba Widow Qing.

It's a gift.

But the question is, is the Bashu widow, who has been operating in Bashu for so many years and has a huge wealth in the local area, really a resource?

Ba widow Qing was originally in such good health, why did she die after living in Xianyang City for a few years?

After she died, where did that huge wealth go.....

And Li Si knew in more detail, after all, he was the one who really went through that period of time.

At that time, Yingzheng, who was the king of Qin, admired Ba Widow Qing so much, in addition to wanting to swallow the huge wealth of Ba Widow Qing, but also because Ba Widow Qing had raised a group of private troops in Bashu, which was equivalent to a warlord separating power.

And the last point is a little selfishness of Ying Zheng himself.

He was meant to satirize his mother.

Ying Zheng knew when he saw Chen Ke and Li Si's eyes that these two people were clear about their plans, but when they saw Fusu's eyes, they were angry.

"At the beginning, the Ba widow Qing hoarded a lot of money in Bashu, and used these riches comparable to the country to raise an army."

"It took me a lot of effort to swallow her wealth and completely break up her army."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu like a father teaching his son: "You can't be tough on businessmen, because you never know what the huge wealth they have will be used for." ”

"If you don't pay attention, you may threaten the imperial court, the country itself."

"Therefore, when dealing with businessmen, you must take it slowly, wait until you seize the opportunity, and then kill it with a knife, this is the way to be the emperor."

Fusu just sat there, listening respectfully, with a little understanding in his expression.

And Ying Zheng continued to say to Chen Ke and Li Si in front of him: "What Chen Xiaozi said is indeed a good way. ”

"In fact, not only businessmen, but also some traitors, corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the court can also be tolerated temporarily."

"These people don't necessarily go into use."

"Use tactics that businessmen are used to, such as paying taxes."

The old god of Yingzheng said: "Although you can get a lot of money in a short period of time, the problem is that it is not sustainable, and a family can only get it once. ”

"But taxes are different."

"On the one hand, businessmen are used to high taxes, and they don't stop doing business because of taxes."

"On the other hand, the merchants will also be relieved, because they will see that the court has plundered a lot of money from them, which will let them know that the court intends to go down the drain rather than find an opportunity to kill them all."

"As a result, they work harder to make money."

"So as long as the tax is controlled, the court will be able to collect money permanently."

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "So, taxes are the top priority. ”

"After the new currency policy comes out, we can formulate a new tax policy for merchants, so as to tell all merchants that Daqin has once again become an empire that encourages the development of merchants."

Listening to Ying Zheng's analysis, Chen Ke silently praised Ying Zheng in his heart.

"Your Majesty, how is the tax policy for businessmen formulated?"

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Shang Jun Shuyan said that he and Shang Jia collected the tax of Shanze, and the tax was three-tenths. ”

"This tax, together with the tax policy for merchants that was implemented in the past, is actually onerous and too hard for some small traders and hawkers."

"So I'm going to change it to a phased one."

Ying Zheng dipped his finger in the teacup and described it on the table: "Based on the monthly income as the approval, it is two-tenths for those who exceed 100 gold, three-tenths for those who exceed 10,000 gold, and half for those who exceed 10,000 gold." ”

The First Emperor was very approveful, because there were almost no people earning 10,000 gold a month, so in fact, half of the tax was just a policy.

Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng and added slightly: "In fact, the monthly income accounting is still a little inaccurate. ”

"Why don't you add another year's accounting?"

"For those with an annual thousand gold or less, two tenths are applicable, three tenths for those exceeding a thousand gold, four-tenths for those exceeding five thousand gold, and one-half for those exceeding ten thousand gold."

"Three-fifths of those who exceed 50,000 gold, and seven-tenths of those who exceed 100,000 gold."

Looking at the frightened looks on the rest of the people, Chen Ke touched his nose.

"Your Majesty, I am not talking about seven-tenths of a hundred thousand gold, but seven-tenths of the part between fifty thousand and one hundred thousand."

"For example, a wealthy businessman, he earns 100,000 gold a year, and the tax he pays is not 70,000 gold."

"Thirty-tenths of four thousand, four-tenths of five thousand, one-half of forty-thousand, three-fifths of fifty-thousand, that is, forty-eight thousand two hundred gold."

"That's about 40 percent of the total income."
