The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 44
"Henan Road is in chaos, and Hedong Road is also in chaos! How to spend these huge amounts of copper coins? Where to spend them?" Yang Shidao asked two major problems.

"I heard that the Kanto family and gentry, headed by the Pei family and the five surnames and seven sects, supported the elder brother very much. They not only supported the material, but also opened many grain shops in Luoyang. The turbulent public sentiment has been alleviated to a certain extent, and a large number of people from the Central Plains have come to our Jizhou to gain a foothold. Therefore, the supply of grain in Luoyang has exceeded demand, and the price of rice is still on a downward trend. This is a good thing for the common people, but for grain merchants But it’s bad news for losing money. If we buy in large quantities at the price of three pennies per load (1 load = 10 buckets), those grain merchants will be happy!”

"Behind every grain merchant is a powerful family. Every family in Luoyang is a supporter of Big Brother. In order to ensure the interests of supporters, Big Brother will definitely be willing to act as a bridge between us and the grain merchants."

Yang Shidao worried: "Your Highness has already torn face with the aristocratic family, will they sell it?"

Yang Tong sneered: "Your Majesty Yang thinks highly of the morals of aristocratic families. They dare to sell their ancestors and the country for money, so what is this face? This business is business, and if you oppose them, you will still oppose it. This is two different things. "

"In addition, you can also communicate with Wang Shichong. This guy has killed many small and medium-sized families and robbed them of money and food. He has already aroused the hatred of the Kanto family. The Central Plains has always been the inherent territory of the Kanto family. Sooner or later they will find out the evidence of Wang Shichong's use of power for personal gain. Money can be hidden, but a huge amount of food cannot be hidden. I think Wang Shichong is also eager to exchange food for money! We are actually helping him destroy criminal evidence by trading with him, and I think he will be very happy."

Yang Shidao said: "What Your Highness said is very true, but I feel that there is someone who can spend more money than me!"

Yang Tong wondered, "Who?"

"Ling Jing!"

"Oh?" Yang Tong smiled.

"Ling Jing, the character is respectful! Hejian people are poor scholars who are running for the three pavilions and one pavilion. He wrote a "commercial theory" and put forward the viewpoint of "agriculture is the mainstay, business is the supplement, and work is the bone". Shang Dao has a very unique opinion! Even Xuan Cheng and Chong Yuan have nothing to say... and agreed to list them as Lingyan Pavilion first-rank Bachelor of Arts..."

Kong Yingda said depressedly: "Dare to be affectionate in everyone's eyes, Xuan Cheng and I are old and stubborn!"

Yang Shidao laughed loudly: "Although it's not perfect, it's not far away."

The crowd laughed.

"I had a brief exchange with Ling Jing. He does have unique insights in business, and many of his insights coincide with mine. Therefore, I decided to add another business department!"

"The Ministry of Commerce is in charge of business communication and business taxation. Anyone who does business in Jizhou in the future must go to the Ministry of Commerce to apply for a business certificate. Otherwise... it will be illegal and will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment."

Yang Shidao was shocked and said: "Your Highness, business has been the most humble industry since ancient times. If... if it is a government-run business department, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world?"

Facing a pair of shocked and puzzled eyes, Yang Tong explained: "The establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is not a whim, and it is not because of Ling Jing! It is an idea I have always had."

He first recounted the conversation he had with Ling Jing during the day, and then said: "Everyone knows that prohibiting land sales, apportioning the per-mu tax, and paying salaries with money are all ways to restrain land annexation, but when the court encounters difficulties, sometimes Had to sell the land... As time goes on, the land is still concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. Therefore, land sales, land tax sharing, and payment of wages can only ease the process of land annexation, that is to say, as long as If there is annexation of land, it will not be able to completely solve the phenomenon of cycles of dynasties.”

"The root of the people's rebellion is the land! If the people have a piece of land that belongs to them, they will rely on their own hard work and sweat to fill their stomachs. If this is satisfied, the world will be peaceful and prosperous. Otherwise, the world will be turbulent and the dynasty will destruction!"

"Therefore, under the premise that there is no way to solve the land merger, the only thing that can be done is to free the people from the land, so that they can survive even without land. Since the land is no longer the only way to survive and make a fortune, then Will the aristocratic family still buy a large amount of land? No!"

"When commerce develops to a certain level, it can make up for the rebellion caused by the lack of land. At the same time, the huge profits of commerce can also make the family's family look away from the land and bet on the field of commerce. .Since the aristocratic family no longer buys land, such things as land annexation will definitely not happen. When the aristocratic family treats the land like dung, the people can continue to rely on the land in their hands to live from generation to generation."

Everyone suddenly realized, and all the civil and military people suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment!
The King of Qin really possessed insight like a genius, and he put forward a vision like a genius with a high vision!

Fang Xuanling was trembling with excitement, and praised: "Genius-like insight, genius-like conception... If someone calls me a genius in the future, I will definitely slap him a few times."

Yang Tong chuckled: "When the aristocratic family sees that ten thousand acres of fertile land is not worth as much as a workshop, guess what they will do?"

Kong Yingda sighed: "It is said that businessmen are chasing each other, but who in this world is not like this? At that time, of course, it will be like a gadfly seeing blood and swarming into business!"

This King Qin is simply a monster!

Not only can he see through the world, but he also knows people's hearts... How was this person born?

Is royal blood so noble?
Shouldn't the King of Qin be encouraged to accept more concubines and have more daughters?

Yang Tong, who didn't know that Kong Yingda had his daughter's idea, went on to say: "When the business boomed, there was an endless stream of businessmen from south to north, which led to the prosperity and development of food, clothing, housing and transportation! The prosperity of food, clothing, housing and transportation also feeds back Agriculture, animal husbandry, silk weaving, handicrafts! And the imperial court can get endless tax revenue from it.”

Speaking of this, Yang Tong finally concluded: "A country is built on the backbone of thousands of people. If the people are strong, the country will be strong, and if the people are weak, the country's prosperity will be short-lived. The church is bound to collapse, and it is time to change the dynasty..."

Everyone was moved. Ordinary children of the royal family like to sing praises and refrain from hearing the words of the country's decline. It is rare for someone like Yang Tong to face it so calmly.

It's no wonder that Yang Tong, who was under the age of a weak crown, never indulged in playing games, but was diligent and conscientious, and never showed pride and complacency. Mostly it was this kind of foresight and vision of being prepared for danger in times of peace!

Everyone sighed silently in their hearts, those holy kings in ancient times must be nothing more than this, right?

They looked at each other, and they both saw great excitement in each other's eyes. It was their honor to follow such a master who had a grand vision, worried about the country, and was prepared for danger in times of peace!

Kong Yingda suddenly realized: "It's no wonder Your Highness values ​​skilled craftsmen, and I have only realized His Highness's good intentions today... Skilled craftsmen can build siege equipment, improve armor, and improve farm tools at the national level; Beautiful commodities... Once the commodities they create are distributed on the market, they can also create wealth for themselves and the country, and even more... Moreover, this is also a way to live happily without the land The way of living!"

Yang Tong nodded and said, "That's right! But all of this requires a prosperous business as the foundation. The charm of business is that it can revitalize lifeless industries...but this is not enough..."

"not enough?"

Everyone was stunned, and looked expectantly at Yang Tong with a determined expression.

"The commodity is too single, and business cannot prosper! And the 'Tiangongyuan' led by Yuwen Rutong! Will present some amazing masterpieces in turn!"

"What is it?"

"secret!"

Everyone: "..."

King Qin, you are so naughty, don't you realize that you are in need of a beating?
