Chapter 311: These Are the Laws of History
The twelfth year of Yuan Heng.
In the first month of the Tang Dynasty's announcement of the lifting of the curfew in Luoyang, countless merchants in Luoyang City had already smelled business opportunities.
Although most of the people in Datang are not very wealthy.
But Luoyang is different from other places after all.
Here are not only the children of the powerful, but also countless business travelers and scholars who travel to study.
It's not ......
The curfew has only been lifted for less than two months.
Even the business of the three cities of Luoyang during the day seems to have become a lot hotter.
Of course!
At present, it is only limited to trading in the market.
However......
Even so, the trading of this commodity, from morning to night, is still endless.
Now only the market is open, this is the first step, and in the future, Luoyang will slowly break the restrictions of the market.
So that even if the people stay in their own shop, they can do all kinds of transactions.
After two months of trial implementation.
Li Chengqian sent someone to inquire again.
Really!
As expected, there are undoubtedly the most young people in this Qinglou tavern.
All night long, feasting and drinking all day.
The first month seemed to be a little unrelenting, but after finding that no one really cared about it, it gradually began to be presumptuous.
Should I say it or not, this extravagant scene can only be said to be really worrying.
On this day, Li Chengqian found Li Chong to fish by the lake and asked, "Teacher, will it not be good if this goes on for a long time?" I don't think this atmosphere is very good. ”
Li picked up the fishing rod again, ran away, and said while pinching the bait: "I also think this is very bad, but you can't just see these hook fence houses, you also have to see that there are still many people in the Tang Dynasty who can do business and make a living in this night market." ”
"Also...... I think that you can also impose heavy taxes on these Goolan tiles, so that the wealth of the world will return to your hands, and you can give back to the people of Datang in various ways. ”
"For example, to build bridges and roads for the people, I think that the Tang Dynasty should gradually abolish forced labor in the future."

Li Chengqian said: "If the conscription is abolished, then if there is any war in the future, who else is willing to go?" ”
Li Chong said: "The imperial court can spend money to hire people to fight. ”
"Actually...... This step will come sooner or later. ”
"The Juntian system and the government military system will collapse sooner or later."
"Of course! It's a bit hard to say now. ”
Li Chengqian: "Why can't you say? ”
Li Chong: "Because, today's Datang is not very frequent in wars...... You, as Your Majesty, have not asked them to do what they don't want to do. ”
Li Chengqian: "Teacher, what do you don't want to do. ”
Li Chong: "For example, treat them like slaves and maids, so that they don't have dignity. ”
Li Chengqian obviously didn't understand very well.
Li Chong said: "There are some officials, once they are corrupt, they will let the government soldiers under them do their own private work. ”
Li Chengqian: "Is there such a thing? ”
Li Chong: "Not yet, but in the future, maybe there will be." It depends on whether you, Your Majesty, can play a leading role. ”
"If you do it yourself, and if some royal relatives let you do it, you will accidentally faint and agree."
"Or rather, your imperial relatives are sneaking behind your back and doing this......"
"The people under that hand will definitely complain."
"I think there is no dignity in being a soldier in this house."
Li Chengqian could only say: "Datang shouldn't have become like that." ”
Li Chong: "It's hard to say. Throughout the dynasties, who has not produced a few losers. ”
Li Chengqian: "But now, it seems that it is easier to cultivate a loser." ”
Li Chong: "This loser wants to lose, to be honest, no one can stop it." I am more concerned about whether the revocation of the curfew will achieve the function of redistributing wealth. ”
"For ordinary people doing business, there is no need to impose any heavy taxes, but in this entertainment industry, heavy taxes should still be levied."
Li Chengqian said: "But how should this be taxed?" ”
Li Chong: "Look at the ledger? However, to be honest, the ledger can also be faked. ”
"You go back and ask to see if anyone knows how Guan Zhong collects taxes."
"But Guan Zhong should be state-run, that is, he controls the ledger."
"That's not easy to say."
Li Chengqian: "Why do I think that the king of this country, relying on the tax of the Qinglou, if this is spread out, isn't it not good?" ”
Li Chong: "The wealth of the world is always on the rise, controlled by the aristocracy, and opening a brothel is actually a way to recover wealth." ”
"In the future, if you want to govern a country well, you must be very sensitive to money things."
"Let the wealth of the world flow, and don't let it be concentrated in the hands of a few, so that it should be said that it is the best for this country."
"If the gap between rich and poor in a country is too wide, it will only breed instability."
Li Chengqian obviously wrote down all these words of Li Chong.
Next......
He went back to discuss with the prime ministers about the tax collection of this Qinglou.
The development of a country has its advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that the people may have a better life.
The downside is that if you die, you may die faster.
I have to say.
If this continues, Li Chong is really a little worried that the Tang Dynasty will not follow in the footsteps of the Song Dynasty.
smoke cage cold water moon cage sand,
Night park Qinhuai near the restaurant.
The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country,
Across the river, he still sings backyard flowers.
Cough!
It can only be said that these are the laws of history.
If you want to lengthen the life span of the Tang Dynasty, then you should not let the people do anything.
and trap them.
However, it doesn't seem to be very good.
Back home.
Li Chong sat there.
Then he was relieved very quickly, why be so compassionate, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, which is really good if they are happy.
It was August and September of this year.
Two thousand steam locomotives were dispatched at the same time, each responsible for an area, and then cultivated for free for the people of Datang.
Of course!
This is usually the case in this world, free is the most expensive.
This year, if the people around Luoyang have tasted the sweetness of not having to farm their own land, then will they choose to plant their own land next?
Just spend a small amount of money and ask a steam tractor to help you grow it.
As for where the money for steam tractors will come from after this.
This makes them have to find a way to get a little side hustle for themselves.
For example, go up to the mountain to chop wood, burn it into charcoal and sell it in the market in Luoyang, or go to the river to fish, and so on.
In a word......
There is no doubt that in the future, the life of the people of Datang will definitely rise.
