Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Except for salt and iron, food, armaments, and money houses, which are the foundation of the country, the emperor prefers to develop freely in a restricted market for other businesses.

State-owned enterprises dominate and stabilize the country, while private enterprises prosper the market.

Obviously, to achieve this, there must be some restrictions on the inner court commercial firms, to stop their almost disorderly expansion, and at the same time make the bank commercial firms more formal and systematic!

"call………"

As his thoughts circulated, the Son of Heaven let out a long sigh of relief. The most fundamental reason was his entanglement.

He wanted to ensure the sound development of the bank business, and he did not want the civil servants of the imperial court to intervene in the bank business, so that the emperor would have unquestionable control over the bank business, and leave an important means for future emperors to control the world, and he did not want to see it because of Banks and commercial firms belonged to the inner court, which led to the intervention of the harem and the powerful eunuchs.

Obviously, it is impossible to have both fish and bear's paw.

If you want to avoid certain evils completely, you must give up some things.

For example, if he wanted to prevent the harem from interfering in politics and eunuchs from becoming powerful, he had to let the leading power of banks and commercial firms be out of the control of the inner court.

Otherwise, the power of the harem, with the power of an eunuch, can easily affect the banks and commercial firms under the jurisdiction of the inner court.

And the bank and commercial firm does not belong to the inner court. In his hands, although it will not affect anything, it will be difficult for the king of future generations!

Moreover, eunuchs, at least in the local area, are not restrained by family interests. The emperor is the master, and under the imperial power, he will do his best to serve the master.

But officials, and officials of this era...

Collusion between government and businessmen, short selling and reselling is obviously not difficult.

The extent to which the salt and iron official camps of the past dynasties have finally been corrupted is a clear proof!

In the Ming Dynasty, why did all the emperors who did not take the usual way like to send eunuchs abroad!

Although the eunuchs did do a lot of illegal things, their ultimate goal was to get money for the emperor!

In this era, the emperor has no money, and has no ability to make money, so he can't talk about being promising, and it is impossible to be promising!

However, it's fine if the king of later generations is willing to do something, but if he is incompetent and stupid, and he can control this wealth, it might be a disaster!

The root causes of all problems are very clear, but...these problems cannot be cured at all!

It is always a temporary solution rather than a root cause, but this temporary treatment requires persistence day after day.

a little slack...

It is erosion!

After a long time of slack, the corruption will spread, and the national fortune will inevitably go downhill irreversibly.

Even if there are Mingjun and famous ministers, they can only return to the light for a short time.

"If so, as in later generations..."

In the mind of the emperor, he once again thought of the special national conditions and systems of later generations...

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

Sorry, I have something to do today, two more.

Chapter 535 It's a big deal to go home and farm...

"Is this the legendary cement road?"

Among the people coming and going, a middle-aged man in a coarse robe squatted on the ground, curiously looking at the gray-white cement road under his feet.

The endless stream of pedestrians on the street are obviously used to this behavior of stopping and looking at the road surface. This Qianmen Street, when it was still under construction, attracted countless people to watch it every day. After it was completed, it became famous all over the world. Yes, there is an endless stream.

For the people near Qianmen Street, this kind of strange behavior has long been a habit.

At some point, a young man dressed as a servant hurried over to the middle-aged man, and also squatted down, out of breath, and said:

"My lord, I found out clearly, this cement belongs to the provisional secret grade!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the middle-aged man suddenly brightened: "Are you sure?"

"Sure, sure, I spent a few taels of silver to inquire about it, and a manager of the cement factory said it himself!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man stood up abruptly, and his face couldn't hide his excitement.

This time, the merchants in the capital city really came to the right place!

Of course, he has already inquired clearly about the regulations formulated by the martial arts academy. They are divided into two categories: secret level and non-secret level. .

Rather than the secret level, the literal meaning is obviously very clear.

This provisional secret level, although beyond the scope of his understanding, but only the word "temporary", it is very clear that it is only temporary!

This cement is so effective and has so many uses!

What's more, as far as he knew, the court was planning to change the disaster relief strategy a few years ago, doing water conservancy and road engineering, and disaster relief by the way!

No matter which one, cement is obviously essential!

According to the information he heard, there is only one cement plant in the capital that has actually been built and put into use. Although there are reports of construction in other places, these cement plants are all for the supply of those projects. spare capacity to supply other aspects.

Moreover, cement is needed, and sand and gravel are also needed...

Thoughts flowed one by one, the middle-aged man's face was flushed, as a businessman, what is the most exciting?

Excited about these clearly visible business opportunities!

"It shouldn't be too late!"

The middle-aged man secretly cheered himself up. Qianmen Street has only been repaired for half a month, and the new work-for-relief policy has not been out for a long time. Even if someone has already eaten this big piece of fat, it is impossible. I ate them all.

"interesting……"

Looking at the excited appearance of the middle-aged man, the Son of Heaven laughed lightly, and the Son of Heaven could naturally see that although the middle-aged man was dressed very simply, he was not even comparable to ordinary people on the street, but judging by his words and deeds, Definitely born into a wealthy family.

Rich people, come to this capital, dare not dress better...

That's even more obvious, it can only be a businessman, and a very cautious businessman at that.

After all, at the beginning of this reform, he had decreed to abolish the system of business registration and military registration that forcibly divided races and bound human nature.

For this reason, he has even started to pay the military households, that is, the military households of the guards, and even further reduced the proportion of food that the guards need to turn over.

Of course, this salary can only be regarded as meager compared to the battalion soldiers who are only responsible for training and fighting, but this can also be very effective in avoiding the turmoil in the army caused by the abolition of the military household system and seeing the generous treatment of the common people. Even the phenomenon of military households fleeing.

The middle-aged man at the moment is obviously the shopkeeper of a certain business, and he is probably an outsider.

A foreign businessman asked about cement...

"Send someone to check the details of this person!"

The emperor gave a casual order.

"Old slave obey!"

Wang Wu glanced at the middle-aged man, and hurriedly retreated away.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven let out a long breath, and the entangled thoughts of the past also dissipated a lot.

The reform strategy that has been set, the prosperity of business is doomed, and the future path of Daheng is also doomed to the wanton expansion of capital.

Relying on him alone, it will be difficult to make this cake bigger...

Besides, the reform has robbed many people of cakes, and he should make up for it.

Otherwise, those people's final gaze will still return to the land.

……

"Master, what are you doing with all this money?"

In a medicine store in Beidafang, Beijing, a middle-aged man hastily took out all the cash on the store's account.

"Make a fortune!"

The middle-aged man still couldn't hide his agitation, and then he looked at the store manager beside him: "Have you found out what I asked you to inquire about?"

"I got it clear..."

"Okay, go and get the King Shen that we collected from those people in Liaodong, we'll go see you later..."

……

When leaving the commercial area of ​​Qianmen Street, what the emperor sees is a completely different world.

The pavilions are gone, only the low houses stand in disorder.

The road is full of potholes, garbage is everywhere, and the stench in the air is disgusting!

The hustle and bustle of Qianmen Street can still be heard, this is already another world.

The Son of Heaven is no stranger to this scene. Back then, he was a member of Jin Yiwei, so he didn't have too much contact with it.

Most of the people outside the city live by farming.

Most of the people in the city make a living in the city.

Such as handicrafts, shops and so on.

All walks of life in the city need people.

These people are the bottom of the capital, or any city, and they are the workers of this era!

The emperor walked among them, but his expression did not change because of the poverty.

The soul of his later generations, the biggest worry about business, or capital, has always been the collusion between government and businessmen to squeeze the workers and the common people.

He has always been worried that what has happened in later generations will happen in Daheng in the future.

But it is very obvious that if the country's center of gravity is shifted to business, it will inevitably make the eyes of the interest class not limited to the land.

Just like in the past, no matter who, whoever has spare money in their hands will think about buying land and accumulating a family business.

If you have money, you think about doing business, and you all think about making money with money, then the situation of land mergers will be greatly reduced. If the people have land in their hands, the possibility of not being able to survive will naturally be greatly reduced.

The prosperity of business will also allow this nation, which has lasted for thousands of years, to completely enter the next stage.

The big deal is to go home and farm. Although this sentence is derogatory, it is already a huge extravagant wish for countless people in this era who are struggling to survive without enough food!

Squeezing commercial capital is much better than not having enough to eat and not being able to survive!

Besides, people's desires are constantly increasing, and if they can't even survive, if they can have a chance, who cares whether they are exploiting or not?

Only when people can eat enough and have good living conditions in all aspects, will they care about dignity and whether they are squeezed and exploited by others.

By that time...

But... Thousands of years of historical reincarnation, which prosperous age can make all the people have enough to eat?

Thinking of this, all the entanglements in the emperor's heart also completely dissipated!

……

Chapter 536 Official and Business

Zhongwu Baron's Mansion.

"They are just eating enough to support themselves. In my opinion, His Majesty is still too merciful..."

In the hall, Sun Sheng picked up a bowl of broth and finished it in one gulp, still shouting uncontrollably.

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about about their big shots, you little baron!"

The woman on the side glared at Sun Sheng angrily, and made a noise impatiently.

"What is a little Baron?"

Sun Sheng suddenly became angry: "How many titles are there in the whole world?"

"Without our title, our big family can live in such a big house and enjoy it comfortably?"

"Wherever you go, show off our title, who wouldn't be respectful?"

The woman was also a little helpless: "Okay, okay, I know you are amazing!"

Immediately, the woman seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Then the Shaoke of the Wuyuan Academy, have you found out clearly, are the boys in our family going to go?"

"Nonsense, of course I want to go!"

Sun Sheng poured another bowl of soup, and said carelessly, "Everyone over five years old must go!"

"The boys in our family, except for Xiaoyao, everyone else has to go!"

"What a great thing this is. Let's find out clearly. They are all invited famous teachers. I heard that His Majesty will occasionally go to get out of class. This is a great blessing!"
