Old man Xia's eyes were deep, and his index finger resting on the table flicked involuntarily.

Since the establishment of the country at the beginning of the finalization of the "military merit system", the Wu Dynasty has set off a wave of pragmatism.

If you are not pragmatic and pragmatic, it is difficult to guarantee the authenticity of military achievements.

If military merit is fake, the people's hearts will be weak.

If the people's hearts are weak, the society will be chaotic.

The tighter the military merit system binds the Wu Dynasty, the more pragmatic the wind will be...... The six countries of Kyushu, except for the military, all countries have noble civil officials, who only need to study to cultivate their hopes and cultivate party henchmen, and they can rise in the wind in a few days, ascend to the government and go to the court, so as to cross tens of millions of people in one step, and become officials below dozens of people and above tens of thousands of people.

But this method will not work in the Wu Dynasty, it is difficult to enter the six departments of the county government, it is difficult to leave the court without thinking about the people's livelihood.

The resume of life is not satisfactory, and it is difficult for officials of the Wu Dynasty to be qualified to be elected, let alone first-time substantive officials.

Officials of more than three grades in various countries only speak of high-ranking officials, but in the past dynasties of the Wu Dynasty, there were "big guys".

What is a big guy?

The stone pillar of the country, the core of the court, the example of the official, and the backer of the people, not only the qualifications and seniority, but also the credit that can be taken.

He Xia Dachuan, since the eight products of the local tax item, has experienced the county master book, the government tax department, the county department to join the army, before and after spending more than ten years, before and after not entering the central household department, there is a circulation warehouse department, degree branch, tired work and cut the title of the household department of the book.

And after going through these processes, Xia Dachuan is at most just a book.

He can be called a big man, "the Wu Dynasty Minister", all because of his more than ten years of promoting the reform of the tax law and supplementing taxes.

Seventy years of life, fifty years of career, he Xia Dachuan has been governing taxes for 30 years, and he can't know where the biggest problem of taxation in the Wu Dynasty is?

Settlement!

In the rich land, the money is directly taxed, and the color is uncontrollable, and for every ten taels of silver collected, the real value is only seven or eight taels.

Poor place, direct tax in kind, fire consumption harm to the people, thousands of controls, after the grain and grass are harvested, most of them are also consumed in the transportation route, a stone of rice from the county town, when there is still seven or eight buckets left in the warehouse, all are good, most of the time there are five or six buckets.

Looking at the Wu Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty collected at least seven or eight hundred thousand taels less in the annual grain tax.

City gate tax, commercial tax, salt tax and other heavy taxes, among which there are more hidden cats, and they cannot be collected without greed.

As for greed?

Which nation can be governed?

If he really encounters a situation where he is not greedy and does not take possession, and the tax items are all right, he needs to worry about this, whether the grassroots tax collectors have done things that harm the people behind the back of the household department.

"Settlement is a big problem!"

"Bartering, there are too many loopholes in the process, there is still a loss of fire consumption in tax collection, many businessmen are unrighteous, and their hearts are blinded by interests, if there is a mistake, they will eventually have to pay for it or me!"

Old man Xia sighed, "This settlement is the most important thing, but this direct delivery of money, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate!" ”

Taxes have still been played out, and after the opening of the market, there will only be more loopholes.

When people's hearts are greedy and profitable, there are more smart people in this world.

Hearing this, Huang An seconded, "It is a fact that the grassland is short of money, but sending money directly is detrimental to the national character, not to mention that we can't accept it, even if we can't accept it, the border garrison army will feel humiliated for it!" ”

Military merit is supreme, honor is high!

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

The Song people have been lying on the ground for a long time, and for the Song Dynasty to come to the court, this year's New Year's coins are less than in previous years, which is a great achievement.

As for not giving, that's completely unimaginable.

But the Wu Dynasty can't do it, even if there are thousands of reasons and ideas, the money that belongs to the Wu Dynasty can't be given in vain.

"I didn't say give it directly!"

The equation spread his hands, "There are few ways to make money in this world, and there are many ways to send money, but there are not no ways to dominate the two!" ”

As he spoke, he put his finger into the teacup, dipped some tea soup, and wrote the word "futures" on the table.

"The way of war is unpredictable, time can be exchanged for space, and space can also be exchanged for time!"

"The way of doing business is not impossible!"

"Private paid lending, is a space for time drama, space is the space that people expect, this absorption comes from the future stable repayment ability, the same loan, the lender to borrow or not, purely look at the future of the borrower!"

"It's point-to-point, and it's also face-to-face!"

"And that's futures!"

"Futures, corresponding to the spot, spot, happens all the time, as long as the merchant has real goods can be traded, and futures is not so much the goods that are traded, but the future of trading, trading a time gamble!"

"The rice is cheap in the harvest year, and the rice is rich in the famine year, everyone knows it!"

"This is a bumper year, the war is coming, the price of rice in Kyushu will inevitably fluctuate up and down in the next two or three years, if I take the price of rice in Qingzhou as a handicap, and take the reputation of the Wu Dynasty as a backer, can this handicap be bet?"

"You can bet!"

Huang An shook his head, "But there is no need to gamble, because in a year of war, the price of rice will inevitably rise?" ”

"Why is it rising?"

"Rise to the hearts of the people!"

"But can he really go up?"

The equation looked indifferent, and said leisurely, "The strategy of cash-for-work has come out, everyone knows that in the north of Qingzhou in the coming year, at least 160,000 acres of fertile land will be opened, and the southeast of Jizhou will not be a small number of this number, even if only one season of grain is planted, with one mu of harvest of two stones, at least 600,000 more stones can be added, plus Jiaozhou rice, can you bet on the price of rice in the Wuzhou Dynasty in the coming year will not rise but fall?" ”

“……”

The words have been said by the equation, what else can Huang An say?

There are three sides to everything, good, bad, and modest.

The news is not equal, everything is undecided, and the judgment produced is naturally not equal, and those who have confidence in the Wu Dynasty will inevitably rise even if they think that the war is coming, and the price of rice will inevitably rise, but this increase will not be too large.

"Whether it rises or falls depends on people's hearts and time, everything is undecided, there is room for opening, this is the method of exchanging space for time!"

"Rice, flour, grain and oil, it is a matter of concern, it is related to people's livelihood, in turn, there is a suspicion of frivolity in gambling, and the rule system is undecided, and there will be mistakes and omissions after implementation, which is harmful to the Wu Dynasty!"

"So we can find a place to experiment!"

"And Toichi is the best place to be!"

"As for what to bet on?"

"In spring and summer, cattle and sheep are produced, milk is abundant, we can cattle, milk powder, milk prices, April and May can be effective!"

"In summer and autumn, cattle and sheep gain weight, sheep need to shed hair, we can bet on the price of meat, bet on wool, autumn and winter can have results!"

"It's all a matter of fast in and fast out, as short as March and April, and as long as April and May, do you think anyone will bet?"

Gambling is a pathological nature of human beings.

Everything in life is gambling, purely looking at how to guide, positive guidance for the benefit of the country and the people, and negative guidance for the people to hurt the people and break the wealth.

As a financial instrument, futures are extremely risky, but if you just make a platform, then there is no problem.
