Chapter 2029 Thoughts

  But when the imperial court becomes corrupt in the future, this kind of thing of building workshops to earn money will become a treasury to support the establishment of political powers by various local princes.

  But if the imperial court establishes a special regulatory agency to make money.

   It is impossible for the treasury to be empty.

   But there is another situation that will appear.

  Emperor hegemony.

   Once you meet a faint king, it will be the beginning of the suffering of the people in this country.

  The best way is naturally the joint supervision of the three parties. In this way, mutual checks and balances, if you really encounter a faint king, the local army will also have a chance to resist.

  But to Emperor Xuanming, Chu Heng couldn't say this.

   Today's Emperor Xuanming was stimulated by the incident of King Huainan, and he was more extreme. In addition to being ill in recent days, his mentality has also undergone a huge change.

  As long as he is not toward the imperial power, he will lose the trust of Emperor Xuanming, which will stimulate the other party to become more extreme.

   It's Chu Heng's fault that he really becomes dizzy at that time.

  He knows that this matter needs to be done slowly, and it will not be done easily.

  Of course, as long as the current Emperor Xuanming still loves the people, it’s okay to be a little willful on weekdays.

  He can establish this reform first, and then gradually improve it later.

   After all, it is not so easy for the imperial court to establish a regulatory agency, and it will take time to become strong.

  Emperor Xuanming's expression eased as expected: "What Chu Aiqing said is reasonable, but it is not so easy to establish a supervisory organization."

   "And the workshop you mentioned..."

   "Your Majesty, opening a workshop is actually opening a shop to do business. You only need to have a reasonable price, be honest and trustworthy in business, and have some publicity from the government. As long as many people don't affect their lives, it is easy to open a workshop."

   "It's equivalent to the imperial court also doing business, and it can influence other merchants to do business in the future." Chu Heng tried his best to speak concisely.

  But Emperor Xuanming still understood.

  He has never had such an idea before, the imperialization of shops?

  Thinking of the property of those merchants, Emperor Xuanming's eyes flickered and he was a little moved.

  Although there are various mineral resources, there are not many gold mines and silver mines. If there is a place to hide it privately, it will be a major event that affects the fundamentals of the country.

  If he can have a commercial empire under his name in the future, is it afraid that he will have no money to raise an army?

  It can also supervise local government affairs, which can achieve multiple goals in one fell swoop.

   However, this incident may affect the interests of many people.

  For example, if the imperial court does business, the status of the merchants will naturally increase. At that time, I am afraid that there will be more people doing business.

  When there are more people doing business, the people may not be willing to farm the land, and if they don’t farm the land, where will they get food.

  Emperor Xuanming didn't take good care of his health recently, so he rubbed his forehead, and didn't make it difficult for himself, so he directly expressed his doubts.

  Chu Hengdao: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that can be changed. The immediate relatives of merchants within the first generation are not eligible for imperial examinations."

"In this way, there will not be many people doing business, and the prices of commodities will be under the control of the imperial court. The society will be more stable, and there will be more workshops. At that time, ordinary people can go to the workshops to earn money in their spare time. , and can afford scholars."

   "Third, the fields today are divided into public fields and private fields, and more public fields can be planned to ensure grain production."

"Fourth, more land in Dachu is actually in the hands of family landlords, and tax collection also needs to be divided into levels. For example, if a clan owns more than 100 mu, it will charge 50% of the tax, and if it exceeds 500 mu, it will charge 60%. The specific amount of tax collection needs to be analyzed and calculated again.”
