Chapter 147 Everything is developing for the best!

Chu Ze's words were like a shot in the arm, making Zhu Rui feel like he was floating.

After talking about land planning, they talked about commercial production.

Especially when it comes to commercial taxes, places like brothels and gambling houses are themselves huge money-sucking dens.

These places are all industries that use special means to stir up people's desires and seek huge profits at extremely low costs.

Chu Ze directly gave this industry a name, cancer industry.

For industries like this, their existence has almost no effect other than consuming people's interests.

Therefore, Chu Ze's proposal in Hengyang City is to clear out all the gambling houses at once.

And not only that, it is also necessary to directly cut it off, establish laws, and all gamblers will be assigned corvee, and gambling funds will be confiscated directly.

And for industries like brothels, which charge extremely high taxes, it is best if the taxes are so high that these people can no longer operate them.

Music studios and dance houses can be opened, but flesh and blood trading is prohibited.

When Zhu Zhu heard Chu Ze's proposal, he couldn't help but frown.

"Sir, although I can understand what you said before and understand what it means. But is this last item a bit deceptive?"

"Music studios and dance houses are allowed to be opened, but flesh and blood trading is not allowed. Those brothels can trade sheep's heads for dog's heads. Isn't this unnecessary?"

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Chu Ze moistened his throat slightly.

Then he said meaningfully to Zhu Rui, who was sitting opposite.

"Places like brothels are places that make up for the vacancies in human nature. No matter how hard we ban them, they will not be stopped. And on the issue of brothels, we charge high taxes. The prices of brothels will also rise accordingly.

"

"After the cost of going to brothels increases, we are just harvesting money from the rich. Ordinary people don't even have enough to eat. Do you think they will still go to places like brothels?"

"The music studio and dance house are not convenient for others, nor those who open brothels. They are convenient for us."

"After these brothels are transformed into music studios and dance houses, I know without even thinking that they will definitely sell dog meat to others. But if they are caught once, they will be fined. Moreover, it will be a huge fine."

"This is just a way to cut leeks."

"Those who can afford to open a place like a brothel are more or less people with background and strength. What we want is to cut their leeks. If you don't like it, then destroy them."

"It is impossible to blindly rely on light and manage a world justly. Darkness is inevitable. We cannot think about eradicating evil, because evil cannot be dealt with cleanly."

"What we want is to set rules for evil and let them operate according to the rules we have set. Tell them clearly who is the boss."

"However, as the cost of going to a brothel increases, the punishment for some crimes must also be increased accordingly, such as assault. My suggestion is to directly confiscate the tools of the crime. If you commit a crime once, you will be castrated directly."

When Zhu Zhu heard the words "confiscating the tools for committing crimes", he subconsciously tightened his legs.

Seeing Chu Ze's half-smiling expression, Zhu Xi couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling for a while.

This is a cruel person!

"No, I've been listening for a long time. Why do I feel like you are talking about making money?"

While Zhu Xi was still marveling at Chu Ze's bad ideas, Zhu Di appeared behind them at some point.

Regarding his question, Chu Ze turned around and rolled his eyes at him rudely.

"If you don't want to make money, why would you still want to give money away? The purpose of taking away land and redistributing it is to stabilize people's livelihood."

"The law of this entire era is that one percent of the people control 90 percent of the wealth, and then dominate the remaining 99 percent of the people. This is the structure of the times and society."

"As the highest position among the one percent controllers, we cannot always think of depriving the already overwhelmed 99 percent of people, but we must put ourselves in the next echelon.

.”

"Those in power exploit the middle class, and then feed back to the lowest class. The middle class is still exploited, and the wealth is once again transferred to the hands of the top class."

"This is an economic cycle. If you, the person in power, don't deprive the middle class and then give back to the bottom class, then eventually when the bottom class is overwhelmed and collapses, that's when the people at the top will perish."

"With all the nests in the nest, how can any eggs be left intact?"

"Take the small city of Hengyang as an example. We take away the money of the middle-class people who should be exploited and take away what should be taken away. We use this money to give back to the people at the bottom, and then the middle-class people will still

We allow them to continue exploiting the bottom class by every possible means, but it must be within our rules."

"Those who cross the rules are provoking our authority, so these provocateurs must be eliminated."

"You can think of this as a game. Although we don't play the game, we make the rules."

"This simple copper plate can only be regarded as money when it is spent."

"If he hoards it, he is just a copper plate."

"Just like the current dynasty, the same principle applies. Money falling into the hands of the court will have to be spent sooner or later, but just spending money is not enough. You have to find a way to earn the money back."

"Just by relying on taxes, once the middle class goes beyond the rules and exploits the bottom class desperately, and the bottom class taxes fail to come in, won't the court be unable to make ends meet?"

"What we are trying to do now is to set down the rules of the game when the court is at its strongest. At the same time, let all the middle-level people get used to the squeeze from the top, and at the same time, they must abide by the rules set by the top."

"This is also the core significance of the existence of our experimental city."

Although Chu Ze's explanation was a bit cumbersome, it was still very clear to Zhu Di and Zhu Xi.

They themselves are part of the people at the top.

This kind of thing can be understood very clearly as long as you think about it casually.

However, these theories of Chu Ze sound very reasonable.

However, Zhu Rui still discovered a very fatal problem.

"That's not right! We are one city, so it's no problem for us to exploit the middle class. After all, our father is standing behind us. Even if we do evil, no one can resist us."

"But if it rises to the level of a country, then if all the middle-level people resist together, wouldn't the top-level people be easily overthrown?"

"So although I have been failing, I have never given up on the development of weapons."

"As long as the top level can always control the most powerful force, then naturally there is no need to worry about what trouble the middle level can make."

"."

Sure enough, Chu Ze is still the same Chu Ze.

After Zhu Di heard Chu Ze's words, he suddenly felt clear in his mind.

After Chu Ze just revealed his identity and stabilized his affairs, this guy has been advocating focusing on the development of weapons.

By the way, I studied people’s livelihood.

And now, he wants to advocate starting to exploit the middle class and give back to the lower class.

In this way, if his method is really adopted, the people at the top will have to constantly improve the force in their hands.

Always be on guard against counterattacks from the middle level.

Then, weapons must continue to be developed.

He is forcefully pushing the entire royal family to support his weapon development!

This guy, this is a conspiracy!

As for not using his tricks.

This possibility is not high.

After all, this statement should be the method that best suits the interests of the court.

After all, if the imperial court has powerful force in its hands, it can not only frighten the inside, but also attack the outside.

Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this for the time being. We will deal with the specific situation based on the actual situation after King Zhou arrives in Hengyang City."

"Before that, other issues must be dealt with first."

"As for the ammunition production line, I will first give you the specific data and drawings of the molds and stamping equipment. Then, as for the hydraulic system, although I have drawn a sketch, the specific details require the master to go to the site to arrange and adjust.

"

"Yongle, you and the King of Chu can arrange people to pave the site first, and the mining of the salt mountain can also be carried out simultaneously."

"But before that, go to your father to claim credit and settle the matter at the salt mine."

"Okay, then I'll just take Lao Liu into the palace right away and settle the matter of the salt mine first, and then take advantage of my father's good mood."

When Zhu Di heard Chu Ze mentioning his ammunition production line again, his end came immediately.

But when he mentioned his father's mood, Zhu Di immediately became numb.

His father might not be in a good mood today.

After all, he just fainted from anger not long ago.

"Don't worry, believe me. Your eldest brother just went to see your father with iodophor. That thing is a life-saving thing on the battlefield. If you come to see your father dragging Xu Shuai to have a secret talk, he is probably really being raped.
