Chapter 1375 - Arrangement for the Gate Valve Family
I don't know if it's living up to filial piety, but Li Ke will definitely not be very happy.
Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang were a little speechless, but they naturally didn't take it seriously, to put it bluntly, in fact, they were still more traditional in their hearts, thinking that the throne was a very important thing.
Although Li Ke, a little bastard, has never wanted this throne, he shouldn't be so angry.
So they naturally enjoy it with peace of mind.
Similarly, Li Ke of Chang'an City naturally knows his father's movements, but what is the use of just knowing the movements of this kind of thing? Now even if Lao Li is tied back, it is impossible for him to directly give Lao Li the Zen position.
Although Li Ke is indeed a person without a score, it is too unsound to do so, the entire Tang Dynasty is currently the most powerful empire in the world, and the royal family, as the representative of the Tang Dynasty, always wants face.
Li Ke can't disgrace the royal family because of himself, it doesn't matter how embarrassing his family is behind closed doors, but Li Ke is never ashamed outside.
Fortunately, he has been thinking about it for a while, Lao Li wants to play, let him play, Li Ke can't think about it at this time, instead of being serious with Lao Li, it is better to deal with all the things that Datang needs to deal with now.
Li Ke is thinking about one thing, that is, how to use the power of the family gate valves, or how to use the money system established by the Tang Dynasty now, and then use the power of these family door valves.
Although the power of these family gate valves has been almost mobilized by Li Ke, in fact, they still have a lot of hidden power that has not been fully exerted.
For example, their overall planning ability, in fact, not many people pay attention to this ability in traditional feudal society, but it is a kind of ability that needs to be exercised very much in feudal society.
After all, in the era of no mechanization, manpower is the greatest force, any industry can almost be said to be a labor-intensive industry, if the overall organization ability is not good, then some large-scale projects can not be carried out.
So the big gate valve family will definitely not be too bad in this regard.
They have enough manpower, although a considerable part of these manpower has been called by Datang, but they themselves must also have these manpower.
Li Ke wanted these family gate valves to develop some land.
Datang now has a land area of nearly 40 million square kilometers, but the total population is only about 45 million, which means that the average population density is one square kilometer per person.
This one is outrageous.
However, such a land population area also means that Datang can implement some mechanized cultivation methods similar to those of the later American emperors.
That is, some places that have not yet been developed into cultivated land can be developed on a large scale for large-scale planting.
Although it is not possible to use mechanical products for this kind of cultivation in a short period of time, it will take several years to prepare for this kind of cultivation.
The planning of the entire policy should be well defined first.
Didn't Li Ke promise these family gatekeepers to allow them to develop a certain undeveloped island or something, and the assets were all their own?
It is now possible to use this to motivate them, but we still have to find a way to limit them.
At present, one of the restrictive methods that Li Ke has come up with is to find a way to withdraw a large amount of their funds first, and it is best to drain all the funds in their hands so that they have to take out loans.
It's not that Li Ke wants to trap them, but if he drains the fixed funds in their hands in this way, it means that the copper coins, gold and silver and other metal currencies that can be hidden by the people will be greatly reduced.
At that time, Datang can gradually introduce banknotes.
In this process, can these family gate valves think that Li Ke doesn't care, but what Li Ke knows is that the number of their most important assets has already left traces in the bank's statistics.
This means that it will be much easier for them to hide, transfer, or dispose of their assets after they break the law in the future.
And the imperial court will have more control over them.
However, this move will be carried out after the official structure of Datang is perfected, at least half of the officials in Datang's official system must come from ordinary people's families.
As long as the entire system of officials comes from different groups, there will be checks and balances between them.
As for being 100% perfect, 100% free of corruption and the like, Li Ke never thought about it at all, it was better to daydream about it, and there was everything in the dream.
Unless Li Ke can make an absolute super-intelligent life similar to the one in the later generations in his hands now, and it is an absolutely rational and fair intelligent life.
Otherwise, it would never have happened.
Not even the intelligent beings born in the hands of human beings themselves, because before they were born, they all had owners.
This is a paradox.
It can only be said that it is as limited as possible.
Another thing is that Li Ke is ready to formulate the inheritance tax in advance, but this inheritance tax has been subject to certain restrictions from the beginning of its formulation, that is, the people's inheritance tax is exempted if the assets reach a certain threshold.
To put it bluntly, there must also be a threshold for inheritance tax, just like the threshold for personal income tax in later generations, there is no inheritance tax until the assets reach a certain level, and there will be inheritance tax after reaching a certain level.
In short, only the money of the rich is collected.
As for Li Ke, Li Ke is a royal family, and in addition to the royal trust fund, the inheritance of other royal personal assets is also subject to inheritance tax.
Take the lead and you're done.
Anyway, for the royal family, as long as the system is perfect, the money of future generations will not be spent, and the worst one is a worry-free food and clothing.
So of course he has to stand on the side of the people, and the people are the basic plate of Datang.
The biggest difference between the legal system established by Datang and other countries in the West in later generations is that those laws in the West in later generations were established by capitalists, and everyone knows why they were established in the first place.
Even some seemingly compromising legal clauses are actually innumerable ways to avoid them.
But Li Ke is different, he is sincerely on the side of the people, so the tone was set at the beginning.
To be honest, Li Ke thought about it, if such a policy wants to be implemented, I am afraid that he will be able to implement it, and others will have to encounter huge resistance if they want to implement it.
Only Li Ke's current prestige can have the ability to implement this kind of policy, formulate relevant laws, and then thoroughly implement it.
At this time, Li Ke told the truth, and he could be regarded as having figured out why Lao Li wanted to give him a Zen position.
It's just that it's hard to understand and not conflict.
