Chapter 43: Who is the Lord of Zhongxing?
"There is a specialization in the art industry, Feng Xiao is still young, and it is not easy to be proficient in military books and war strategies, I don't know what Jingning's high opinion is?"
Seeing the embarrassment on Guo Jia's face, the potter did not hesitate to speak up.
Jiang Wu fell into deep thought when she heard this, and the scene was audible for a while.
No matter how great the merit is, it will be forgotten one day, and the world is impermanent, and increasing one's own fame will undoubtedly gain greater initiative, and it is obvious that the prestige of the way of government is less likely to make the monarch suspicious than the prestige of the military.
Thinking of this, he spoke, "What Han Yu said is a little inappropriate, the ownerless land will be distributed to the victims, I think it will not be long before it will be forcibly bought and annexed by the children of the family for various reasons, and the possibility that the people can actually make a profit is almost none, it is better to nationalize them all, and each person and each household will apply to the government for free arable land according to the number of people, and the tax will not be reduced, and the people will naturally be grateful to Dade if they have free arable land, and the tax will not be reduced to increase fiscal revenue and expand military warfare." In successive years of disasters and many disaster victims in various states, the lord can recruit displaced people and encourage the people to open up the wasteland, and the cultivated land is owned by the wasteland clearer, and the tax is exempted for one year. β
Looking at the eloquent Jiang Wu and the others, their faces were complicated, and the most complicated thing was the family represented by Chen Qi, who naturally had the idea of slowly annexing the land and expanding the power of the family when they made that suggestion, but as for the life and death of the people, it had little to do with them.
"As for Zizhong's suggestion, although it is good, it is too naΓ―ve, the merchant chases profits, and if there is a double profit, it dares to commit any crime, and even the danger of being torn apart. My proposal is to increase the commercial tax, and at the same time relax the restrictions on the monopoly of salt and iron, so that anyone who gives a certain amount of money has the right to make salt and sell iron!"
Jiang Wu's words pierced Mi Zhu's heart like a thorn, the salt industry is the exclusive right he has worked so hard to obtain, so he can become rich in the world, and now Jiang Wu is going to cut off his roots!
After all, Mi Zhu is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he knows that if he says it bluntly, he will lose a lot of money, but it is just a joke in vain: "Brother Jingning, if you open up the right to operate salt and iron, although you will get some economic benefits at the beginning, but as the princes follow suit, the market will be flooded with a large amount of salt and iron, and in the end it will just kill the chicken and take the eggs!"
When the potter heard Jiang Wu's proposal to increase the commercial tax, his eyes lit up at first, and he was short of breath, and when he heard Mi Zhu's rebuttal, he also faintly felt that he had killed the chicken and took the eggs, although he was a martial artist, but he still received nine years of compulsory education, and the quality of the suggestion could still be heard.
Mi Zhu's heart-wrenching rebuttal was only exchanged for a merciless sneer: "Hehe... They're just relaxed, are there salt pans?"
A rhetorical question directly forced Mi Zhu to ask, but not all the princes rely on the sea, and not all the princes who rely on the sea have the conditions for drying salt, this rhetorical question made the potter's eyes instantly bloom with infinite light: "Hahaha! Jingning is really my Xiao He!"
Of course, the truth is not as simple as Jiang Wu said, Yuan Shu relied on the sea, and later Yuan Shao also relied on the sea, and the inland princes could also develop well salt, but when they had the same example, the pottery merchants could have quickly realized the primitive accumulation of capital and fought in the south and the north.
Guo Jia naturally thought of this, and when Jiang Wu finished expressing his opinion, he said happily and convincingly: "Big brother and talent!
In the eyes of ordinary people, the biggest harvest of this simple gathering is naturally the potter, and the heavy loss is the privileged business group represented by Mi Zhu, as for the family represented by Chen Jue, in addition to the loss of potential interests, it has not lost anything, but it is like eating a fly and feeling disgusting, but Jiang Wu is now popular and can't have a seizure, what surprises them even more is that after making such a great achievement, the popular Jiang Wu refused all rewards and official positions, and was at ease as a Bi Ma Wen and did not ask about the world.
Wutian was also quite surprised by Jiang Wu's sharp behavior this time, in his opinion, Jiang Wu is the kind of person who is immersed in the world of his past and enjoys peace, how can he show his knowledge uncharacteristically and attract the attention of potters?
"Little Ring, do you know why?"
"Do you remember Yao Yao and Tang Ziyan?"
"Uh...... Do you mean that Jiang Wu has been lonely for a long time, and she jumps to show her sense of existence?"
"Not only that, have you noticed the change in Fang Yue's expression?"
Recalling the banquet above Yue, Wutian muttered: "The military generals have the same name, and the pottery merchant Xuzhou is powerful in the world, which must have stimulated Fang Yue, who is also a peerless military general, and may also have the solicitation of the pottery merchant, Fang Yue must also be a little restless about the current life of the housekeeper, so Jiang Yue showed her sense of existence in a timely manner, allowing the potter to weigh whether to dig the corner of the wall, and at the same time making Fang Yue feel that it is not humiliating to protect herself." β
"But this Jiang Wu is a little persecuted and paranoid, so she has gone to great lengths to keep a peerless military general by her side to protect her. β
With the increase of time spent together and the increase of understanding, Wutian's establishment of the character model of Jiang Wu and the potter merchant will be more comprehensive, although it seems to be useless in the near future, but when it comes to doing something, it is conducive to finding a suitable entry point.
The next day, a surprising guest appeared in front of the Bimawen Mansion.
"Knock knock!"
"Who!"
Li Xiao screamed when he opened the door.
The door opened, and when Chen Jue saw the face of the person who opened the door clearly, he was stunned, first incredible, and then excited, and knelt on the ground, "Han Yu meets the teacher!"
Li Xiao sighed softly, the past was like smoke, and the dream bubbled.
"Teacher, where have you been for so many years? When the party was in trouble, I was worried about the safety of my teacher, and I sent people to investigate more.
"Idiot, I am still so unstable when I am old, I was fortunate to have a friend to help me save my life, although I died without regrets, but I can't ignore Tong'er, so I pseudonym Li Xiao, live in seclusion in Xuzhou, I don't want to be twenty years in a flash. β
"Since the teacher has come to Xuzhou, why don't you come to look for me, although the eunuch is powerful, I, Chen Hanyu, am not afraid!"
Looking at Chen Jue, Li Xiao, no, to be exact, Li Ying smiled, he was very happy: "I know you are not afraid, but how can I, a teacher, implicate you, as Tong'er grows up, I was called the world's model Li Yuanli by the students, and my pure heart has also faded." β
Speaking of this, his tone carried a bit of heroic twilight silence.
"Fortunately, the eunuchs have been removed, and I only hope that a British lord can "prosper in the glory of the Han Empire" and reproduce the glory of the Han Empire!"
"Teacher thinks, who is the master of Zhongxing?"
Chen Qi remembered his current location as soon as he said it, and looked around very nervously, and saw that only a teenager in the courtyard in the distance was in a daze, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The years not only fade away from impetuousness and frivolity, but also wear shackles and responsibilities.
The current Chen Qi is no longer the hot-blooded Chen Qi of the past, and he has more family responsibilities.
