After getting Li Zhi's permission, Han Yi was not in a hurry to start printing. He first asked wealthy businessmen such as Yuwen Xiumi and told them that the new issue of the Tang Dynasty Daily was to summarize this crisis.

Yuwen Xiumi and the others were a little stunned when they heard this. What does this have to do with us?

Han Yi told them again that this issue will be released nationwide, and everyone will definitely be scrambling to see it, asking for your products, workshops, and trademarks. If they can be displayed on it, it will make your business and business a step further!

After some tricks, Yuwen Xiumi and others paid for advertisements.

Only then did Han Yi officially publish an article drafted by Han Yi in the Tang Dynasty Daily in the name of the court, and make a summary of this crisis.

This is necessary. If there is no natural disaster or the cause of this, then the people of the world must be given an explanation.

This issue of the Tang Dynasty Daily is a piece of money, and it is sold nationwide, which means you will pay as much as you sell. However, Han Yi is not afraid, and a group of wealthy businessmen help him support it.

Daxingshan Temple.

"Why are you here to take refuge?"

Cui Pingzhong closed the Tang Dynasty Daily, placed it on the table, and asked at Cui Jieren who had just arrived with a smile.

Cui Jieren smiled bitterly and said, "Our family didn't say anything. After all, we had invested money in the transaction before, but the Cui family in Boling was very dissatisfied. However, when the Tang Daily was spread to Shandong, the child would definitely not be able to escape the lessons of those elders."

Cui Pingzhong said: "I have heard a little about this stamp duty, which is indeed not good for our aristocratic families!"

Choi Jiren smiled and said, "I think this is the whole of Han Yi's plan. These changes are all business policies that benefit him, and no one can stop him now."

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. If he just wanted to pursue power, he wouldn't have to do this, because with the contribution he made, it's not a problem to be a general or a minister. As long as he has power, he can also implement his policies. You know, Empress Wu supported his policies at the beginning, and as for fame, wealth and wealth, he had already taken it into his pocket. His income now does not seem to be completely consistent with his plan. It can be seen that this is not all of his plan. I think he should still be the last step."

Cui Jieren frowned and said, "One step left?"

Cui Pingzhong nodded and said, "I have mentioned more than once that Han Yi's reform is a change from bottom to top. To see through his ultimate goal, as long as you study the merchant class thoroughly, you can clearly know what his purpose is. I think I already know what he wants to get, but judging from the current situation, he cannot achieve his goal at all, and this plan should not be over yet."

Cui Jieren immediately asked, "What is Daddy thinking Han Yi's purpose?"

"What are businessmen pursuing?"

"Benefit!"

"The interests are only the most basic, but the wealthy businessmen such as the Yuan family and Shanxing have already possessed enough wealth, and people's desires are endless. They must want to get more. What they pursue should be fairness and freedom. The business and profit and loss are based on their own abilities, but the most basic thing is that both parties to the contract must have a fair and equal relationship, even if the other party is the emperor."

Cui Jieren opened his eyes.

Cui Pingzhong said: "Actually, I guessed this early in the morning. Saint Confucius once said that the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the king, the king mainly looks like a monarch, and the minister should look like a minister. If the king is not a monarch, the minister is not a minister, the world will be in chaos, and the father and son are the same. Just like me before, I am not a good father, so you are the eldest sister."

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, don't mention this matter. But if you think about it the other way around, the saint should mean that the monarch must also be bound, but the saint pursues the monarch's behavior in the form of morality. This idea is good, but the saints do not know about this ordinary person after all. Morality cannot even restrain the selfish desires of the people, let alone the monarch."

Cui Jie said: "What really restricts the people is the law."

Cui Pingzhong nodded and said, "That is why Legalism can restrain the monarch. Confucianism can only serve as the basis of Legalism. But how can the monarch easily let the law overtake him? Moreover, the monarch pursues just the opposite. With Han Yi's current ability, he is at most less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Moreover, his position as the chief Sun Wuji did not reach the original position, so he does not have the ability to restrain the monarch at all, and the monarch will not allow merchants to develop to the point of crisis imperial power. How to break through this is the most critical thing."

Cui Jieren suddenly had a look of yearning in his eyes and said, "In other words, the real purpose of Han Yi's stamp duty is to lay the foundation for restricting the monarch."

Cui Pingzhong nodded and said, "But this is just a seed that has been planted. It is a very long process and very difficult to make this seed bloom and bear fruit. Han Yi wants to use this to limit the monarch. No matter whether he will get what he wants in the future, he will definitely not see it in his life. With his personality, he will not place his hope on others. He must have another step to accelerate the growth of this seed."

Cui Jieren frowned and said, "Did Dad think it out?"

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and said, "It is very, very difficult to do this. In fact, during the Jin Dynasty, nobles and monarchs ruled the world together. The nobles at that time could limit the monarch, but both sides were not satisfied with the status quo, which led to nobles often usurping the throne, and monarchs often took the opportunity to eliminate the power of the nobles. If they just returned to this point, it would have no meaning. Instead, it would lead to chaos in the world. How can they effectively limit the monarch and protect the status of the monarch? I really don't know how he planned to do this."

Cui Jiebian said: "Why does Dad never think that Han Yi's ultimate goal is."

Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "From ancient times, dynasties other than wars have changed, and heroes who usurped the throne by seizing power, almost all take advantage of the emperor's young and holding military power. This is just an objective factor. In addition, we have to convince the public. These people are not the people, but those who have power. Han Yi does not have these conditions. Moreover, if he wants to do this, then there is no meaning to do this. He should establish a huge force in the court like Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Wang Mang, etc., but he did not do these, which is also the reason why the emperor trusts him. However, this time I will crack his plan before him. As long as I study every move carefully, I think I can calculate his last step."

Seeing his father's expression was excited, Cui Jieren smiled and said, "Didn't his father regard Han Yi's plan as a riddle?"

Cui Pingzhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "I am really happy with it!"

.

After this issue of the Datang Daily was published, it caused a great sensation among the people.

Because the contents of it have published many little-known things, and even the fundamental reason for the burning of merchant ships in Xuzhou has been revealed. Of course, Han Yi supports the analysis of the conflict between landlords and merchants, and does not reveal Wu Meiniang. In addition, there are some shady stories about the official workshops, and those officials are corrupt and abused the law.

This is very rare in feudal society. The court has not been so responsible. It has taken the initiative to explain everything, and has actively admitted policy errors, and has also publicized it.

You should know that the signature of this article is the Secretariat and can definitely represent the court.

First of all, of course, I praise the military and the soldiers, because the army stabilized the situation. The civil servants were scolded to death. Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong were all the leaders of civil officials, and most of them were civil officials who were corruption and bribery. Civil officials had an unavoidable responsibility, and the army took the initiative to slaughter people, which did not cause any protests. Civil officials protested every day, and the verdict was made.

Secondly, this article is very fair to both merchants and gentry, and everything is spoken by facts and does not generalize from the side. But even so, this is a very big impact on the gentry and the landlord class. You have so many resources in your hands, but you do not fulfill your obligations. Instead, the crisis has deepened further because of your selfishness.

Although Han Yi criticizes and praises merchants, the problem is that merchants are the virtues. Merchants are originally humble and profit-oriented. You cannot count on merchants, but merchants do not have this obligation.

Moreover, the merchants did a lot of good things. Han Yi caught Zheng Shanxing and praised him to death. In the end, the merchants gave the people a bite of food.

This phenomenon is very interesting. Both the gentry and the merchants have good performances and bad performances in this crisis. However, the people think that gentry should do these good things and is not worthy of praise. It is incredible that merchants do these things. There are such good merchants in the world. It seems to be an impartial article, but it makes public opinion turn to the merchants.

It's very simple. We used to listen to your gentry and support you so much, but you took advantage of the situation. We usually scolded merchants so much and helped you suppress merchants, but there were merchants so good to us. If you choose one of these two things, I might as well choose merchants.

This phenomenon also laid the foundation for stamp duty, which mainly allows the landlord class to share the taxes borne by the people.

Although the Tang Daily did not publish the news of stamp duty, news also came out of the court.

When the news of stamp duty came out, the people were happy. The workers and peasants in Chang'an supported stamp duty very much, because the advantages of the gentry's public opinion had been broken by Han Yi, and the reputation of the gentry had just been cast a shadow. Stamp duty was beneficial to the people, and the gentry was not easy to fool them. Since you gentry didn't take us seriously at all, you had to use the form of a law to stipulate the obligations that your gentry and landlords bear.

This is very fair.

The gentry and landlords in Chang'an and Luoyang did not make any noise. If they make trouble again, the people would directly overthrow them. If you annex our land, you should bear this part of the tax. Otherwise, you will return the land to us.

Moreover, this is not completely unfavorable to the landlords, after all, they still recognize their land.

The merchant was a little panicked because the stamp duty had not been solved yet, but the rumors spread. How much is the stamp duty charged? This is very critical.

Municipal Administration.

"Brother Han, stamp duty is being circulated everywhere now. Is it true?"

Qian Dafang said anxiously.

Han Yi nodded and said, "It's true. The court did plan to abolish the rent-in-one modality and start to impose stamp duty."

Qian Dafang felt aching when he heard it, "This - this is too unfair to us businessmen. We can pay taxes even if we sign a contract."

"Yes! Brother Han, you are even more terrifying than the tariffs."

"Brother Han, we haven't recovered yet. You have to collect such a high tax. We really can't afford it!"

.

The merchants complained one after another, and the news they learned was that the contract had to be paid in proportion. In their opinion, it was for their merchants, because the merchants had to establish a contract for everything, and the landlords would just have a contract for one land.

This is really a wave of failure and another wave of failure!

The fate of the businessman is really bumpy.

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Where did you hear the news that the stamp duty is mainly to replace the rent and mediocre system, that is, the land must be paid in the number of acres in the future. In fact, everyone can not pay the tax, but if you do not pay the tax, the court will not guarantee the contract. If the landlord does not pay the land deed, the land deed will not be counted, and the land belongs to the state. As for the transaction between merchants and merchants, if you trust the other party, you can not pay it."

You said it easily. Without the law, who can still believe in the contract?

The contract must be supported by the law!

Dou Heng asked, "Why don't you know how high the stamp duty for our businessmen?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "This has not been formulated yet, but it is very, very low, and the highest is not higher than a penny."

Qian Dafang said carefully: "A hundred documents receive one document?"

Han Yi said: "No, I always have a single article."

The merchants blinked and said that this was indeed a new level. Only a contract of 1,000 yuan was paid for the money, and this was the highest.

If this is the case, it can be accepted, and the tariffs can be collected in just tens of tens of the time.

Han Yi said: "Think about it, if you don't have to pay taxes at all, will the landlord agree? Moreover, this is reasonable. If you don't pay taxes, why does the court guarantee you? If there is a dispute, you must be looking for the court. If you want the court to have an obligation to help you uphold justice, first of all, you must make contributions to the court. Everyone is a businessman, and there is a basis for consideration in the contract."

Qian Dafang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Brother Han said, we are mainly afraid that the tax will be too high. If it is not very high, then we will certainly accept it."
