Chapter 229 The Industrial and Commercial Class

At this time, Liu Xinyu's eyes were fierce and murderous, but if you look closely, you can see a little 'pretending to be calm'. Zhang Hao's 'sneak attack' made Liu Xinyu a little flustered.

Zhang Hao covered his face, and spoke with a vibrato rendering: "That...... I just want to tell the princess that you're not alone, really. You see, I have you in my heart. ”

Liu Xinyu glared at Zhang Hao fiercely, but there was a relaxation in her words that she couldn't even understand: "Don't tell me about these useless things, say something useful!"

Zhang Hao rubbed the left side of his face, combed the wound with Zhenyuan, and felt a little comfortable, "Princess, I think there are two kinds of rulers. One is high, so he is destined to be alone, because he stands on the opposite side of everyone. One is to become 'a representative of a class', then he is not alone!

And now, there is a class in the country of Qixia, and a representative is urgently needed!"

Liu Xinyu snorted: "Go on!"

"In the country of Qixia, there is such a class, this class has no aristocratic status, does not have too good social resources, has always been taken seriously, and even suppressed, but most of the country's taxes fall on their shoulders.

But this class is the most industrious and full of fighting spirit, and most of the wealth and materials needed by the country are provided by them.

This class is called: the industrial and commercial class!"

"The industrial and commercial class, without the official recognition of the state, can only helplessly be attached to various families and sects, and become the tools of various family sects, but have no self.

In the past, we always said that commerce is one of the root causes of social corruption and degeneration, but in fact there is no good or bad business itself, just like agriculture, handicrafts, etc.;

The bad thing is that business is controlled by various families and sects. This is where corruption comes in. ”

"In the past, the main sources of wealth of the country consisted of agriculture and the cultivation industry, but if you want to revitalize the agriculture and cultivation industry and turn 'dead goods' into 'liquid wealth', you must have a business to run it.

Half of the world's wealth comes from production, and half from circulation.

However, the aristocracy, families, sects, etc., controlled production and monopolized circulation, which created the illusion of a chaotic commercial country. The state's efforts to block commerce are in fact 'blocking' the wealth of society into the hands of the state through a 'blocking' method.

And we know that it's better to be blocked than to be sparse!"

"Your Highness, now is an opportunity to take advantage of the tremendous pressure from abroad at this time to liberate the industrial and commercial classes. Let the industrial and commercial class be liberated from the hands of the aristocracy and family, and let them get their own living space. Let them be a separate class that can be controlled by the state, not by the aristocracy.

For this alone, the country of Qixia will instantly gain the support of hundreds of people. ”

Liu Xinyu's eyes narrowed slightly, "What you said is very good." But as far as I know, there are many successful businesses in China who have transformed into family gates. That doesn't seem to make sense, does it?"

"It's very simple, because they have no way out! The way up is blocked, and they can only change like this. This is an aberration, and these aberrations will further drag down the country and cut off the connection between state power and the grassroots. ”

Liu Xinyu sat down slowly, thought for a long time, and asked slowly: "There are two more problems, the industrial and commercial class may be good, but they have been suppressed, and there are only too many masters to support national security." And the nobles, families, large and small sects, etc., I'm afraid they won't give up!"

Zhang Hao smiled confidently: "If it is a normal situation, it will probably be like this." But now there is a crisis of national destruction! With the help of this enormous external pressure, we can make some 'more radical changes'.

It's change, not change.

For example, we can put a price tag on the lowest aristocratic 'baron', but only sell the one with an empty title and no fief. This could give the business class a hope of rising without immediately touching the vested interests.

For example, we can promise that as long as the firm pays a certain fee, it will be exempted from taxes for the whole year, giving the business class a legal guarantee. In this way, it will be difficult for nobles, families, etc. to get their hands on it.

For example, we allow firms that pay fees to move freely in the country. In this way, it will be impossible for local families and nobles to blatantly collect the so-called 'tolls', and break local protection and local monopolies.

For another example, we can set up the Industrial and Commercial Administration under the pretext of fees and other issues, and then gradually increase the powers of the Administration, and His Royal Highness can also serve as the Director of the Administration.

Then, as industry and commerce grow and develop, the Industrial and Commercial Administration will naturally grow, which will naturally squeeze the traditional family and aristocratic politics.

In addition, we can give certain conditions, so that traditional small families, nobles, etc. can see the future of industry and commerce, and guide them to take the initiative to join the camp of industry and commerce. ”

"In the past, families and nobles often had their own little abacus, and it was common to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement. But business can't, because business requires communication, it's a pan-regional activity, and it's strictly dependent on national politics.

To make an analogy, the state is a towering giant tree, and the large and small family sects are small trees, and they can still survive without the state.

And industry and commerce are vines clinging to towering giant trees, no matter how strong they are, they can't do without the country!

In fact, industry and commerce are the real pillars of the country!"

"We don't need to deliberately suppress the traditional interest class, or even encourage them to switch to the industrial and commercial class.

Then make reasonable use of external pressure to catalyze this transformation. ”

Liu Xinyu nodded slowly, she was moved by Zhang Hao's words. But then she looked at Zhang Hao with a smile: "You seem to be in a hurry?"

Zhang Hao nodded approvingly: "Yes, I'm in a hurry! Because I see the future of the country of Qixia and the current crisis." Only by making full use of the power of industry and commerce can we extricate ourselves from the situation of being beaten and backward. Only by making full use of industry and commerce can we gather the strength of the whole country and develop towards the sea.

Your Highness, do you know what it means to be 'the power of the nation'?

It is not a gathering of the strength of any aristocratic family, and those so-called nobles and families are not able to contribute to the work one by one;

The real power of the country is that the state's policies go deep into the grassroots and exert force from the grassroots.

So, how should the rule of the state go beyond the blockade of the aristocracy, families, etc., and go straight to the grassroots?"

Liu Xinyu stopped talking, Zhang Hao's question has actually become a nightmare that plagues the country's rule - in the past, the country ruled the whole country by ruling nobles, families, sects, etc.

It is good to say that the state and the aristocracy co-govern. To put it mildly: the country has been hollowed out!

True rule at the grassroots level is something that successive kings have dreamed of, but have not been able to ask for. And after the incident of Jiuyang Sect, coupled with the rebellion of a large number of families in Jianwu County and Wuyang County, and even wavering, Liu Xinyu was even more anxious.

But I still can't find a way!

Hearing Zhang Hao's words at this time, Liu Xinyu's eyes were a little sharp, and she stared at Zhang Hao tightly.

Zhang Hao looked around, sat down slowly, and spoke to Liu Xinyu, his words were slow but sonorous: "If you want to take it, you must first deal with it! Your Highness wants to go deep into the grassroots level of the country, and you can't just think about fighting alone and oppressing the nobles, which is unrealistic.

The people should be given sufficient space for growth, financial freedom and personal freedom, so that the people can grow up on their own.

The best way to develop without touching the strata of vested interests is to open up a new space for interests and support a new stratum. This new class of interests is industry and commerce!

Industry and commerce already have a sufficient foundation and have wide recognition. Now industry and commerce have reached a critical point, and only His Highness needs to give a 'slogan' for industry and commerce to flourish. ”

Liu Xinyu's face also became serious, and he also said: "What you said is very reasonable. But it's a big plan! I don't know where to start. ”

"So, let's issue war bonds first!"

"Huh, what is this?"

"It's similar to a fundraiser, but it's a paid fundraiser. In the past, His Royal Highness directly solicited donations, and although everyone supported the country, they were limited in what they could give, and the state could not give them anything.

Everything is relative. As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Of course, everyone has patriotic sentiments, but patriotic sentiments cannot represent everything.

In addition, the issuance of bonds has the advantage of being able to firmly bind the families that buy the bonds to the chariot of the state.

And some families and sects that are unwilling to buy bonds, and then start to rectify them, not only will they not object, but they will applaud!"

"As for the form of bonds, I'll give you an example. For example, if the country now needs 100,000 Pei Yuan Dan, then the state can make these 'needs' into 'bonds'.

Bonds come in different denominations, such as 10, 50, 100, 500, etc.

The bonds are in duplicate, one for the purchaser and one for the state filing.

The specific transaction process is as follows:

Today I purchased a chapter of '10 Pei Yuan Dan Bonds' from His Highness. I will give His Highness 10 Pei Yuan Dan, and His Highness will give me a corresponding paid bond.

The bond clearly states that the state will buy back the bond before the 30th day of the lunar month three years later, but the repurchase price is the price of 12 or even 15 Pei Yuan Dan.

In this way, it can not only arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, but also stimulate the development of industry and commerce. And the issuance of a large number of bonds, the blood injected into the country in a short period of time, is enough for the country to win. The state can extract enough benefits from the battlefield.

In addition, bonds are allowed to trade freely, but the transaction process must be filed with the appropriate department. Let the bond have the nature of a stock.

In order to guarantee the validity and credibility of the bond, the state needs to come up with something as collateral. For example, taxes, such as land, etc. ”

Liu Xinyu's eyes became brighter and brighter, she was excited, excited, and discussed this new direction with Zhang Hao, looking forward to a new future.
