Chapter 359: Stone Tablet
Qin Shou said: "Your current grain is either in the hands of a family or a grain merchant, and the purpose of their grain storage is nothing more than fame and fortune. Let's talk about profits first, when the price of grain in Chang'an has risen to a very high price, and the market has been very abundant grain, do you think those grain merchants can bear not to sell this grain all the time? Your Majesty will give the children of the merchant family another grace to give scientific examination qualifications, rich and famous, who can bear this? ”
"As long as the grain merchants sell some grain first, and the price is low, can the families still sit still? What do the families care about most? Name! The most important part of their family can be inherited for thousands of years and based on heaven and earth, and the most important part is their reputation in the hearts of the people of the world. ”
"Your Majesty after the price of food is lowered, you can also order the families to donate food when you turn around, and engrave it on the stone tablet to show the honor of the family, and to write it for the country and the people, and also write it together in the Tang Dynasty, Turkic script, and Western Regions script, to tell the people of the world that the virtues of these families!"
"Coupled with the grain merchants' actions, Datang's grain is always enough to alleviate for a while, right? Seeing that the grain merchants are making money there, do you think those families can still withstand the immediate benefits if they want His Majesty to bow his head? In addition, His Majesty has already shown grace. ”
"Once there is more grain in the market, won't the price of this grain fall back?" Qin Shou analyzed.
When Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and others heard this, they suddenly realized, aren't these people just thinking about making a lot of money and waiting for the price to sell?
And give them a little price and put all the grain back into the hands of the imperial court, then the right to speak is on their side.
Once they have obtained enough benefits and seen the saturation of the market, they will definitely sell at a high price, and they must also be worried that the grain will always be sufficient at the highest point, and the grain will be at the highest price, and if they don't sell it again, they won't be able to sell it at a good price, and who will hold on to that batch of grain and not let go.
The grain merchant has made a move, so how long can the family sit still?
"What if these families join forces and don't donate?"
Li Er asked, what I'm most afraid of is that they are hugging each other again, and everyone is not birding him, so what's the use of these? Let him sing a one-man show alone, how embarrassing he is!
"Out of nowhere. His Majesty reluctantly found one that was pleasing to the eye, and His Majesty said that he would donate it, and then reward him with an official position that is not up to par. He doesn't donate, is he embarrassed? And if you don't donate, this is a bully! Qin Shou said.
The official position was also given, and you don't want to donate some food?
What if I don't treat you well? Just take you to get angry! Vent your anger!
Kill chickens and monkeys to show a few other families!
But this seems to be a forced buy and a forced sale?
But it's not useless to look at!
One family donated, and the other six families also had to donate, everyone is a family of five surnames and seven sects, and when they come to us, they will be trampled under the feet of your family?
And if these families want to say that they can really be united, united, and united, this is all fake!
It's because of the interests that make it necessary for them to do so!
But if you stand on the opposite side of interests! Then who doesn't want to compete for a high or low, and doesn't want to be the last one!
It is the best way to cure these shameless methods with shameless methods.
Li Shimin and the others are all smart people, and after these words, it seems that they have opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, and they suddenly realized in an instant.
Awesome, my son!
Yang Mou!
And the family directly face to face, hand-to-hand.
I directly and clearly want the money and food in your hands, and I don't want to pay it back, and I have to ask you to give it with a shelf!
See what you guys do!
If you don't give it?
That's easy, I'll let the people of the world come to see how this huge family of yours is like this!
Of course, this method is really shameless, the family's money and food belong to the family, you have something in the Tang world, what are you doing here to fight the autumn breeze? How can you force people to donate money? Why are you? What are the qualifications? Is it possible for the imperial court to do this?
The family is not breaking the law now, why are you doing this?
But Datang's Li Shimin really has this qualification!
Before the emperors of the Yongzheng Dynasty, they all had such qualifications to require families and merchants to donate money and grain when the country was in trouble.
In history, before Yongzheng reformed the policy of "apportioning the land into the mu, the gentry and paying the grain as an errand and one person", these families did not need to pay taxes and money and grain to the imperial court at all, let alone military service and conscription, and the merchants could also be exempted from conscription and military service by giving a certain amount of money and grain, and the tax rate of the merchants was extremely low.
A large amount of taxes were all imposed on the peasant people who depended on the land for their survival, and the main income of the Datang treasury was also collected from these people who farmed the land, while the families and merchants who occupied a large amount of fertile land and wealth did not need to pay much tax and servitude.
The country's people's strength and financial burden have all been crushed on these hard-working people.
The wealth of the family and the wealth of the merchants can also be said to have harvested the people to a certain extent, so if Li Shimin really asks the families and merchants to forcibly donate money and food, it is necessary!
In addition, Li Shimin is a generation of Ming monarchs, and since he succeeded to the throne, natural disasters have continued in various places, and he has also ordered tax reductions and exemptions many times!
As a result, the current treasury's income has been unable to make ends meet in the past few years, so if the treasury wants to take some money out to help the disaster, it has to think about it and think twice!
And if the disaster relief is done now, the officials in the court will not be able to pay their money this year.
So now, even if Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji are taken to the East Market, they will be sold by the pound, but they can't sell the money they want, because the money has been in the hands of the family over the years.
Qin Shou's method is indeed a good method.
The grain in Chang'an City is now available, and the imperial court itself has pushed the grain to the highest position, and if you don't sell it, you will smash it in your hands!
It can only fall! Lost money!
Even if the family doesn't want to sell, how can those businessmen not make money when they see profits!
When the grain in Chang'an City drops a little, I will let you buy it back and donate a large sum to me, and I will put this grain into the market and let the market price slowly fall again.
You don't donate, you can!
Then let everyone in the world see what kind of family you are!
In so many families, everyone was originally on an equal footing, but because you were reluctant to give up money and food, you were pressed down in front of the court and the people.
How will you face the clansmen in the family in the future? How do people go out and face people from other families?
When you die later, how do you explain when you see your ancestors and ancestors?
