Shao Yunan asked knowingly, "Brother, is our country of Dayan very poor?"

Jiang Kangning nodded with a sigh: "Yes. The top and bottom all need money, but the court can't get it, so it can only collect taxes. After taxes are collected, the life of the common people will be more difficult, and the court will be even poorer."

Shao Yun'an said: "This is a vicious circle. If you want me to say, the imperial court wants money, and can't always keep an eye on the farmers. The farmers depend on the sky for food, and how many acres of land can a family grow? If you want to be rich, you must develop business. "

"How do you say?" Jiang Kangning was a little anxious.

Shao Yunan said: "No matter which dynasty, merchants are the most profitable and richest. The court vigorously develops commerce, and the merchants are very rich. The taxation of the court focuses on the merchants, so not only the pressure on the farmers will be The tax revenue of the imperial court can also be guaranteed. The pressure on the farmers is reduced and the life is better, which means stability for the imperial court. Although the merchants pay more taxes, they earn more thanks to the support of the imperial court. The imperial court uses the collected taxes to build homes, improve people's livelihood, and strengthen military equipment, so that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe?"

Jiang Kangning licked his mouth: "It does make some sense. But how to develop business? Also, everyone is doing business, so who will farm? Without food, it is absolutely impossible."

This is also the reason why most dynasties in history paid more attention to agriculture and less business. Shao Yunan said: "We must have the largest number of farmers in Dayan. Even if business is opened up and everyone is encouraged to do business, how much can we really do? This business is not farming. Getting around is not something ordinary people can do. For farmers, having fields and land is always fundamental. On the other hand, if the court has money, on the one hand, it will encourage business, on the other hand, it will increase support for farmers to farm and reduce taxes , and raising the purchase price of grain is naturally the best for farmers. This is complementary to each other. At that time, not only will there be less grain, but more."

Jiang Kangning nodded again and again, urging: "You continue to say, how to develop business?"

Shao Yunan: "Developing commerce requires a multi-pronged approach. The first thing to do is to expand domestic demand, which is to increase commercial exchanges between the people of Dayan and increase taxes for the court. For example, jam and chrysanthemum tea are in Dayan. Sales, Uncle Lizheng and the family of the patriarch Sun have made money because of this, which is to use the internal needs to promote the development of business, make the people rich, and let the money flow."

Jiang Kangning nodded, his eyes glowing.

"Secondly, it is to increase external demand. Although we have just finished the war, not all the surrounding countries are enemies of my Dayan country. Those countries that are friendly with my Dayan country or have few contacts must have my Dayan country. On the contrary, my Dayan country must have something that they do not have but are also rare. In this way, when bilateral exchanges and transactions are made, businessmen are all motivated. What we take out can be exchanged for what we do not have. The rare things, even real gold and silver. What we don’t have, we can get real gold and silver from other countries and exchange for real gold and silver at home. With this exchange, the more money, the more the imperial court can collect this part of the tax. Are you rich?"

Jiang Kangning's look at Shao Yunan made Wang Shijing feel a sense of crisis once again.

"The third is to enrich the business content and mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. Let's take jam and chrysanthemum tea as an example. There was no such thing before, and no one would think of using it to make money. Now everyone knows that chrysanthemum tea and jam make money. , since there are so many people buying it, it means that there is still a lot of money to enter. As long as similar business content is enriched, will the money still come in? In addition, the most profitable transactions such as salt, grain, and mines must be held in prison. It is firmly in the hands of the imperial court. The merchants who come into contact with these businesses cannot make a lot of money, but the imperial court who really masters these resources is too poor to make money. These large-scale transactions can be handed over to the people below, but The court must ensure that the largest part of the profit belongs to the court. The court encourages business activities, so naturally there will be smart people who will come up with ideas to make money. If I can come up with jam and chrysanthemum tea, others can definitely come up with other good ideas. ."

"What else?" Jiang Kangning only had Shao Yunan in his eyes.

"The court is rich, and the people are rich, and the internal stability will be stable. Externally, we will strengthen commercial exchanges with various countries, and develop our advantages in the process. Sometimes, war is not only a knife and a shot, but also business. It can be used as a weapon. If a country's business is particularly dependent on my Dayan country, as long as we block transactions with them, they will be in chaos. With the territory of my Dayan country, if I really want to do business, my Dayan country It must have the upper hand.”

Jiang Kangning nodded vigorously, his blood boiling.

"If the court has money, it can go on more smoothly in many aspects. For example, when recruiting troops, it can increase the army's salary and attract troops. In addition, if anyone joins the army, the court will not only give certain rewards, but also exempt certain land taxes. If the country is killed in war, the children and parents will have pensions and preferential treatment. If the country is disabled, the court will not only have pensions, but also reduce or exempt taxes for several acres of land for thousands of years. , who will hear the conscription change?"

"what else!"

Jiang Kangning really wanted to see how many "strange" ideas were in Shao Yunan's head.

"Similarly, if the main taxpayer is not the peasant households, then the imperial court can formulate some incentive measures when recruiting people from the peasant households for corvée service, so that the imperial court will not become very passive. Although the imperial court has no money and the country is poor now, But there are always rich people. Just like that Hou Yefu, there must be rich people."

"Then our first step is to earn the money of these rich people, and then develop business step by step. Just as more and more people from the Zhao clan join in making jam, more and more people earn money; Some of them will make chrysanthemum tea and have already made money. By analogy, sooner or later, more and more rich people will become more and more rich, and people will have more and more spare money in their hands, and the country will become more and more prosperous.”

Shao Yunan pointed to the tea in the cup: "Let's not talk about it overnight. If this tea can meet my expectations, the elder brother can integrate all the tea resources in Yongxiu County next year. Let's make a large batch of tea first, and then the elder brother will hold a tasting. The tea party invites tea merchants from all over the country and merchants who are interested in the tea business, so as to open up the popularity of Yongxiu [New Tea], which not only drives the enthusiasm of the people in the county to grow and make tea in the future, but also enables them to make tea. The people of our county have become prosperous. If things go on like this, the experience of Yongxiu County can be promoted across the country, as long as the place is rich in tea, it can be done. There are black tea, black tea, white tea, etc., etc. Big brother has also tasted this tea. I believe that this tea can not only set off a climax in our country of Dayan, but also can use tea to exchange for real gold in other countries in the future. silver!"

Just kidding, tea is a good thing that has been exported for a long time to earn foreign exchange!

Jiang Kangning's breathing was rapid.

"If Big Brother wants to build our Yongxiu Tea County, in fact, there are two biggest backers that no one can match. If these two backers can be brought in, then no one will try to steal the lucky business from Big Brother."

"Who?"

"The emperor and Mrs. Weng."

"Yun'an!" Wang Shijing was taken aback, this emperor can say anything casually.

Jiang Kangning encouraged: "Tell me about it."

"Imagine, Mrs. Weng invites three or five friends to come to the house, have a cup of tea, drink tea, drink poetry, or simply come to activities such as a Qushui Liujing. Those people will naturally ask what kind of tea is this, and Mrs. Weng said it was you. The good tea he sent, he will come up with the method of making tea with flowing water. Do you think those people would also want to make some tea like this?"

"affim!"

"The tea that Mrs. Weng drank, which I have never seen before, and has such an identity, anyone who thinks he has an identity, why would he want to get tea? .

Think about it again, the emperor held a banquet, and one person rewarded such a unique cup of tea, and it was revealed in the words that it was from the hand of your eldest brother. You think, the tea the emperor drinks is definitely a symbol of status, let alone rich, you have to have some status before you can buy it.

You said, do you have two most unshakable backers in this tea business, and they can advertise for you for free, um, signboards. Even if there are more people making tea in the future, those who have money and status will definitely want the best tea. I dare to slap my chest and promise that the tea I give to your brother is definitely the best of the best, the best of the best, not to mention one hundred and two kilograms, one thousand two hundred kilograms depends on whether you are willing to sell it, no matter how powerful the Houfu is How, can he be better than the emperor and Mrs. Weng? So big brother. I sincerely suggest that you can bring these two people into the company. Isn't the emperor also short of money? "

Jiang Kangning was shocked by what Shao Yunan said, but pointed at him: "You, you, you must never say such words again, be careful to be punished for the crime of contempt of the Holy One."

Shao Yunan said with a smile: "I just give my eldest brother a suggestion, and I won't tell anyone else. Brother, why don't you wait for my wine to be ready, and give it to the emperor and Mrs. Weng to taste together. The two great gods are willing to join the team. Your elder brother will be foolproof if he takes over this business, just wait to make money."

Jiang Kangning slowly put away his smile and said sternly: "Yun An, your eldest brother has taken over your heart. If eldest brother does not say anything to repay in the future, eldest brother promises you and Ishii, as long as eldest brother is in the official position for one day, eldest brother will belong to your family. backing."

Shao Yunan: "Thank you, big brother!"

Wang Shijing: "Thank you, big brother."

Just after thanking him here, Shao Yunan made a request: "Brother, I think Brother Qing can enter the 'Baiyue Academy', you can think about it. Brother Qing will be seven years old next year, so it's not impossible to go to a private school, right? ."

Jiang Kangning was happy, thought for a while and said, "You bring me some tea first, and I'll go to your President Cen. I won't say who gave it, and when he gets hooked, your wine should be well brewed. Now, I'll greedy him with wine again. When you make this request, he will keep it and agree. This tea and wine have always been the favorite of President Cen. "

"Then please, eldest brother! I will pack some for eldest brother for each of the four qualities of tea. You can drink it by yourself. When the wine is brewed, after eldest brother has tasted it, you can just arrange what you want to do next, eldest brother. I am here. The fourth-class tea has nearly 70 jin, and the wine has 30 barrels in the large barrel and 15 barrels in the small barrel.

"Okay. Big brother is not polite to you anymore. After the wine is finished, the big brother will personally go to the capital to talk about (pull) this (relying on) a pen (mountain) to buy (into) and sell (partner)."

"Okay!"

Shao Yunan filled Jiang Kangning with a tea tin for each grade of tea, and also filled Jiang Kangning with a tin of ordinary chrysanthemum tea and fifty golden silk chrysanthemums, and took three bottles of goat milk jam in his space. Next, Jiang Kangning and Shao Yunan had a careful chat about his business idea, but he felt that the conversation was over, and he didn't even think about the New Year's dinner. It was not until the afternoon that Jiang Kangning returned to the county seat with the things Shao Yunan gave him, and with lofty ambitions for the future.
