This article should not only be done, but also done just right.

After a little hesitation, Chen Fusheng made a draft in his heart, and did not use scratch paper to wave it directly.

"Scholars are cultivated and governed, agriculture is maintained, workers are used for sharp tools, and merchants are used for currency, each according to the proximity of its resources, and those who are within the reach of its strength, in order to do their best, and its return lies in the way that is beneficial to the people, then it is the same for the four people. ”

He still didn't touch the big minefield of the land, but chose the second question, which was relatively safe.

Once the land is involved, it will offend countless vested interests out of thin air, Chen Fusheng just wants to use the imperial examination as a way to get close to Su Zhengfeng, and he can't make more troubles.

However, the prospects for blindly following the conservative path of the old party may not be very good, and if we make a compromise, it will be much better.

Of course, there is also a bias in going to the middle, and Chen Fusheng chose to be biased towards the New Party in the middle.

Although the dispute between the end and the end is also the focus of the contradiction, after all, it is an issue that has been debated for a long time, and many things have become relatively clear. Even if Chen Fusheng puts forward some more outrageous claims, it will not be regarded as a big rebellion.

What's more, he also found an insurance policy.

Duanmu Zigong is a figure called "the instrument of Hulian" by Confucius Sheng, Confucius has four branches and ten philosophers, Yan Yuan is a well-deserved "virtue first", and Duanmu Zigong is known for "words".

Throughout the Analects, the dialogue between Zigong and Confucius is the longest.

However, he is an out-and-out big businessman.

"Zi Gan learned from Zhongni, retreated to Wei, wasted his wealth in Cao, Lu between, the disciple of seventy sons, gave the most benefit. Yuan Xian is not tired of chaff and hides in the poor alleys. Zigong tied the donkey and rode together, and tied the silk coins to hire the princes, and wherever he went, the monarch did not fight against it. The husband made Confucius famous in the world, and he paid tribute to him first. What about the so-called "Gaining Strength and Complementing Strength?"

Then in later generations, Zigong has become the god of wealth widely worshipped by the people, as the most orthodox Confucian disciple has such a special identity, pushing him out is naturally a magic way to eliminate disputes.

After preaching Duanmuzi, Chen Fusheng turned his pen and said officially: "Therefore, it should be heavy, and the end should not be light." Whether there is business or not, agricultural power is the capital. If the business is not able to benefit the peasants, then the peasants will be sick, and if the peasants are not able to use their capital to capitalize on the merchants, the peasants will be sick. Business can benefit agriculture, and agriculture can be capitalized. So that there are farmers in the world but no business, can it still be for the country?"

This is to clearly improve the status of businessmen, followed by "Shengming has no ancestors and opens the dragon gate to people with lofty ideals in the world." The 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China has been peaceful for a long time, there are more talents, and the students are flourishing. The number of schools has increased, and in addition to the positive amount, the so-called attached scholars are no less than several times. This one is chosen from the division, and those who are not familiar with the scriptures are not with. Although one or two are fortunate to advance, they are rare. Slightly in the words of the two rivers in the south of my sword, there are about 500 people in 1,000. The tribute for three years is less than 50, and the township examination is less than 300. However, many people in Sichuan and Shu do not focus on business, especially refined metallurgy, abandon Confucianism and engage in business, Jiannan is occluded, not through the Quartet, but a glimpse of the whole leopard also, the world is expected to be big, not Jiannan alone. ”

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China a hundred years ago, the world has prospered, and many talents have been produced, but few of them can be awarded the imperial examination, and even those who have succeeded in the imperial examination are not lacking in some people who abandon Confucianism and engage in business. Coupled with the fact that the original Taizu overthrew the ban on the children of merchants not being allowed to participate in the imperial examination and entering the court as officials, it can be said that the boundary between the four people has been extremely blurred.

Now that he has talked about the current situation, Chen Fusheng will give this young man a good explanation of the outside world, from the mountain tax to the customs duty to the city tax.

For example, the Great Qin ruled the world, abolished tariffs, and then not only restored, but also greatly increased since the division of the former dynasty's feudal towns. And then until now, the so-called tariffs are said to be eleven, and how to handle them is completely controlled by the tax collectors, and they decide at will.

In addition to the taxes on aquatic products, grains, bamboo, books, paper, and lacquer, there are also various "extra lessons", such as calendars, deeds, coal, fish fry, lacquer, leaven, willow, pampas reeds, tooth examples, dairy cows, sheepskins, etc. River merchant ships also have to collect ship money, and there is even a "landing tax" on the market in the town.

So much so that businessmen regard the tax field as a legal field, and are afraid to complain.

Then, in order to avoid these harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the businessmen who are naturally profit-seeking not only evade taxes, but also collude with officials, the bigger the bigger, the smaller the smaller, and the biggest deficit is of course the treasury of the imperial court.

Correspondingly, the reputation of the merchant became worse and worse.

These are not from the book, but his personal experience of the past two years since he returned to his hometown and then came out of Shu.

Taking these facts together, Chen Fusheng believes that Xiao Zhang will understand the reasons for today's phenomenon when he sees this.

So he officially closed and put forward his own opinion.

Therefore, it is necessary to improve the status of businessmen, so that the problem of tax evasion and tax evasion can be truly solved, and the tax law must be changed, and all onerous commercial taxes must be abolished, and then taxes must be collected uniformly according to the profits and capital of businessmen. It is even possible to propose that merchants are divided into nine classes according to capital, and that certain rewards can be given to those who reach a certain standard of taxes, such as titles that cannot be hereditary or nominally loose officials. ”

Those who can break through to the last hurdle of the imperial examination are naturally the best in a thousand, and an article is not difficult for them, and by the time Chen Fusheng puts down the pen, most of them have already ended.

After all, the time of the palace examination cannot be too long, Chen Fusheng had just checked whether there were any forbidden words when he heard the sound of gold, and everyone had to stop writing and hand in the papers.

Chen Fusheng naturally would not violate the law in this regard, and quietly handed over the case and left.

Naturally, there was no vision generated, which made Shen Zui, who knew the inside story, a little disappointed.

Xiao Zhang is naturally no exception.

When Gongsheng left the palace and didn't have time for lunch, Xiao Zhang ordered the top few test papers to be taken over, without taking into account the principle of sealing.

However, he is the emperor and he is the greatest, so naturally no one will reason with him in this regard.

The first thing Xiao Zhang saw was Chen Fusheng's test paper.

"Big companion, why didn't this Chen Fusheng's article attract a vision this time, could it be that the last time it was really a clever hand, but it is indispensable?"

Xiao Zhang was a little disappointed and took out the test paper of the last Chen Fusheng meeting, shook his hand, and made a loud sound. And put it together this time, it is obviously superior.

"Your Majesty, the palace is an important place in the country, and the palace is personally suppressed by His Majesty's Son of Heaven, no matter how the article is revealed by the will of heaven. It's not necessarily that the article isn't well written enough. ”

The old eunuch glanced at it, bowed down and said slowly: "But in the opinion of the old slave, let's not talk about the quality of these two articles, although the style is similar, it seems to be more stable than the last time." ”
