Chapter 82: Guan Bao's Friendship
Yang Guang took over the conversation: "Can my father know the national policy of managing Zhongfu?" ”
Yang Jian understood what Yang Guang was going to say, so he nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Guan Ziyan: Cangli actually knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, the ministers deeply feel reasonable, the country is not rich, the people are not rich, then there is no etiquette, do not know honor and disgrace, the people take food as the sky, they can't eat, they can't wear warm, it's useless to talk about anything, the richer the people, the more stable the court is, because no one wants their rich life to fall."
The economic base determines the superstructure, and a country with a constantly improving economy is stable and happy.
"Guan Zi also said: the rich are good, the poor are for it, the rich live in luxury, the ordinary people can have more work to do, so that the ordinary people can be richer, the rich have a good house, the house craftsman has a livelihood, the rich are good horses, the horse breeder has a livelihood, the rich have a luxury car, and the car builder and the groom have a livelihood."
Yang Jian asked rhetorically: "The trend of extravagance is great, I am afraid that it is eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and the number of people who are muddy and bad will increase by a huge amount, that is, now the imperial court orders to prohibit it, and there are many such sons in various mansions, most of these people are evil, and even rob people's women." ”
"Father, stimulating the consumption of the rich and nobles is not to let them do evil, as the father said, the people who should do evil are also doing evil now, and the way to limit them from doing evil is not to prevent them from spending money, but to improve the law, isn't this what the father is doing?"
To limit the extravagance and waste of the nobles, what should be done is to stipulate in more detail the "rites", such as what kind of carriage can be used by the countries when they go out, what kind of honor guard, and what kind of national dukes are, and the regulations should be detailed down to what kind of silk can be draped on the frame used, so that they can add the best within their own authority, and if they exceed it, it is trespassing. ”
Yang Jian's fame, Yang Su and others repaired the law because they understood the importance of the law, and now Yang Su was sent to the southern front as the commander-in-chief, but the people below still continued to promote the repair of the law.
It is undeniable that Yang Jian is very forward-looking, and he started on this matter as soon as he ascended the throne, and deeply understood the importance of governing the country according to the law.
It is necessary to understand that violations of law and discipline and high consumption are not a thing, and at the same time, it is necessary to use the law to protect the rights of the people at the bottom to stimulate consumption, and not to allow the nobles to draw land and sheep to oppress and plunder the people's farmland and property.
Yang Jian nodded and said: "Merchants are more profit-seeking, if they are unjust, I am afraid that the trouble of the merchants will also become more and more serious." ”
Of course, at the same time, the imperial court has to control a part of the people's livelihood materials, grain, rice, salt and other things, the management of the official mountain and sea policy, the salt and iron official camp, the imperial court controls salt and iron and other materials, and there is an expected hoarding to control the market price, so that even if there are large-scale fluctuations in other commodities in the market, at least these things related to the daily life of the people will not fluctuate too much, and the market can be stabilized."
Guanshanhai's policy, Guan Zhong proposed, the Western Han Dynasty Han Wu Emperor was implemented by Sang Hongyang, and it was also a major source of money for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the north and the south, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was followed by a tax system on the spot.
Speaking of this, Yang Jian had a little hesitation, the state completely liberalized the salt ban, let the people operate, abolished the special tax, and only collected market tax like other commodities, if it was rash and the official business might not be good.
saw Yang Jian's hesitation, but Yang Guang felt that he must control these, especially salt, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, salt was the most important part of the country's finances.
Yang Jian said: "The wealth of the Great Sui is inseparable from the cultivation of the people, and opening up can make the market more active and the people rich." ”
Yes, the Great Sui is rich, the Great Sui Dynasty Zhou, there is no big fight, the heritage is kept, and it is naturally rich.
"Father, the official camp I am talking about is not to grab the livelihood of the people, but to support the court on these people's biological resources, not to rob them in the harvest year, not to rise in the disaster year, to avoid the price of materials in the disaster year to skyrocket, in fact, the father is already doing the national granary, isn't it? It's just that the ministers feel that salt, and some iron, have to enter the storage range of the state's granary, and the only purpose of this act is to prevent chaos. ”
"At the same time, these things are well controlled, and other non-essential goods in the market can be operated by merchants, because for the people, non-essential goods are to improve their lives, and the price is chaotic and they don't buy it, so as to curb the troubles of traders."
Yang Jian smiled slightly, this strategy is not wrong.
The carriage of labor consumption must make the market lively and the goods prosperous, but it must also control the necessities and not mess up.
"Father, there is still a matter of taxation, which is levied on the customs, not on the city; Those who are levied in the city should not be levied in the customs, and all localities should be strictly ordered not to collect tariffs repeatedly, so that the traders can operate more smoothly. ”
"It is difficult for the people to get rich, and it is difficult for everything to be perfect, so that some people can get rich first, and let those who get rich first lead the future generations, so that the economy of the Great Sui will continue to grow and become richer."
Yang Jian muttered to himself: "Let some people get rich first." I don't know why I always feel that this sentence is full of wisdom and power, it is such a simple sentence, as if I have experienced the vicissitudes of life and hit my heart.
"You talked about stimulating the market from luxury and frugality, and then talk about the Changle Fang you planned."
Yang Guang said with some apprehension: "It's hard to hear, Changle Fang is a place of bliss. ”
"Casinos, horse races, green houses, restaurants, all these places of fun, they are all places that cannot be put on the table and cannot be said in the court, but the sons do not do this for pleasure, but to make people's great desires have an outlet."
"In Chang'an City, there are a lot of these places, especially in recent years, polo matches and horse races are prevalent, and there are many such things gambling, and it is more difficult to manage when they are dispersed.
The friendship of the abalone, the friendship of the abalone, you understand it from all angles.
"Changle Fang operates these entertainments, and at the same time, it can be used as an excuse to ban it in other parts of the city, so that at least the nobles of the upper echelons have no reason to object, after all, there is a place for them to have fun."
"And Changle Fang doesn't mean that you can enter if you want to, this square has high walls, and there are guards guarding it day and night, and those with criminal records are not allowed to enter, and high taxes and high business license fees."
"What is a business license?"
"Only with a license can you operate these prescribed industries in Changle Fang, so that you can control the operator, once you violate the discipline, revoke the license at any time, let him lose the ability to operate, and at the same time our taxes will become simple, just control these few, and at the same time reduce competition in disguise to support these people to become bigger and stronger."
Queen Dugu asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will become big and disobedient?" ”
"The queen mother, they are all in this industry for entertainment, and it is not because of how powerful they are, but because of the great place of Changle Fang, if you are disobedient, you can change someone at any time, and there will be many people who want to enter it."
Queen Dugu said worriedly: "Such a place for people to open up entertainment, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty's officials will slack off on government affairs and indulge in it?" ”
"Isn't it just for my father to screen out this kind of slack government affairs and indulged in entertainment?"
Yang Jian laughed and looked at Queen Dugu: "Amour's perspective on things always seems to be different. ”
Queen Dugu smiled and bowed slightly.
Yang Jian asked again: "You seem to approve of the pipe's practice?" ”
"Guan Zhong Daxing reform, rich country and strong army, respect the king, Jiuhe princes, a Kuang world, Erchen naturally admired, Erchen thinks that the country is rich and strong, the country is strong and the people are not rich, it will be chaotic, the country is rich and the soldiers are weak, they will be bullied by foreigners, I have the wealth and strength of the Sui, but the north and the south are enemies, only the richer and stronger is the road of the Great Sui."
"Well, that's a good point, but a place like Changlefang will definitely be a mixed place of three religions and nine streams in the future, and it is not as simple as it says to manage it well, and the time and energy it will take may not be a star and a half."
"Father, it's man-made, I believe it's okay."
"Your idea is very good, but it needs to be practiced before you can come to a conclusion, I can allow you to try it first, but don't be too radical to avoid counterproduction."
"Yes, Father."
The matter is settled, the emperor got up and walked outside the main hall, went out of the door and the sun was shining, falling on the eaves of Weiyang Palace, falling in front of the steps, falling on the emperor's body, looking at the blue sky from afar, standing in front of the steps overlooking the palace wall, looking at Chang'an.
Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh: "The country is always strong, the people are always rich, the empire is huge, but you have to take every step carefully, life is the same, the distant ocean, the deep mountains of emptiness, who knows how bad the road ahead is, how many people have fallen here in ancient and modern times, leaving their names in vain, it is difficult to see their merits, Amo, how far do you say the Great Sui can go?" ”
Yang Guang couldn't take this casually, and searched in his mind all the high-EQ replies he had seen on Douyin, but he couldn't find any applicable answers.
That's right, how can Douyin teach you how to answer the emperor's father's questions.
If you are undecided, you can ask the spring breeze, the spring breeze is silent and follows your heart, and some questions may only be answered by your own heart.
"If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life."
Yang Jian looked at Yang Guang with surprise on his face, and so did Queen Dugu, how could he not be surprised when such words came out of his son's mouth.
"If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old!"
"What is the right way in the world...... Vicissitudes! ”
"I am on the right path in the world!"
