Chapter 1957 The competition has not stopped
This seems to be a lot of work for the government, because in a very short time, a large number of transactions will be generated, and it involves all aspects. Logically, it is impossible to be busy at all. However, because the market has the function of self-mediation, the government actually does not do much, mainly to set the rules well, and you can trade as much as you want under the rules.
Moreover, a transaction will produce a continuous reaction, such as if I moved people away, their land will of course be sold. This is not forced by the court, but a chain reaction. What the court needs to do is to set the rules of land transactions in advance.
Qian Dafang and the others are all veterans. They don’t need to look at them when they know how to play this.
In addition, the court is also fulfilling its promise to strictly protect the agriculture and sericulture in Henan. Workshops must not be built on farmland unless you are willing to pay very, very high stamp duty, because Henan's granaries are very important for Chang'an, and there is not enough food and cannot support a very large trade market.
Because the trade market involves population movement, Henan's permanent population will definitely have excess registered population in the future. Although this is very common in later generations, it is very difficult to occur in the small peasant economy. If Henan has a lot of food, it will make everyone more confident in this market.
One of the reasons why Yangzhou is developing rapidly is that Yangzhou does not lack food, and the emergence of second-season rice has caused Jiangnan to burst out with amazing energy.
Moreover, if farmland is opened, the merchant may directly trade with farmers and landlords, not open farmland, and only open cities, the land will be in the hands of the court. Merchants need to buy land from the court. The court can get this money and invest in Henan, which can reduce the pressure on the treasury.
If you play like this, you actually make money. Merchants have to take a lot of money, but the rewards they get are huge. If the farmers, once this place becomes the center of trade in the Central Plains, the prices of grain will definitely rise. They will have a much better life. They are all good, and the court will naturally be better.
At the fourth update.
"I really didn't expect that you would choose to leave at this time."
Han Yi stood in the yard and looked at Wu Meiniang who had just walked out of the house.
Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Why?"
Han Yi said: "If you release the news and tell the people that you will leave Weizhou today, I think that a new story will be born in Chang'an in the future. The people of Weizhou will send the queen ten miles away. What a glorious scenery. Isn't this your usual style?"
Wu Meiniang smiled slightly and said, "If it were the past, I might have done this, but now."
Seeing that she wanted to speak, Han Yi couldn't help but ask, "What's going on now?"
Wu Meiniang pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I learned this from you. Whether they came to see me off or not is just the surface scenery. The benefits brought by the surface scenery are only the surface scenery, but there are many disadvantages hidden in it. But even if I just left like this, wouldn't they remember mine in their hearts? They might even remember it more deeply. The purpose of my coming here is to win people's hearts, not for the scenery."
Han Yi shook his head with a wry smile.
Wu Meiniang said in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Han Yi shrugged and said, "I can't explain it clearly. Maybe I'm a little worried when I see you becoming more and more perfect."
Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "If I want to catch up with my worries about you, it will take a lot of time." As she said that, she pointed her hand at the other side of the door, "Let's go."
As she said that, she walked outside.
Han Yi shook his head with a wry smile, and then followed him out.
Taking advantage of the night, they quietly left Weizhou City and rushed to other disaster areas.
Because for Wu Meiniang, this is a political show, and she is taking the people-friendly route, a route that no queen has taken before, so she needs to go to disaster areas in various places and communicate with the people in various places. If she only shouts a few words in Weizhou, it will not be very effective.
Everything she did in Weizhou was an internship. After all, she had never done this before. She also needed to learn in practice and discover her shortcomings.
Therefore, after going to other disaster areas, she handled it very calmly and communicated with the people more closely.
The publicity is still like Weizhou. First, we meet local merchants and foreign merchants, express our support for merchants' political philosophy, and then meet with the people, and promote our own "Universal Law". We must make the people of the Tang Dynasty the happiest and richest people in the world, which is actually to expand theories and strive for more resources and living space.
This proposition is very capable of uniting people's hearts. In essence, it is nationalism, which is completely opposite to the traditional political concepts of the Central Plains. The traditional rulers of the Central Plains, no matter how despicable and shameless they are behind their backs, are still very face-saving on the surface, and pursue benevolence, righteousness and morality. Wu Meiniang's statement is actually a very selfish statement. Her meaning is to only talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality to her own people, and they do not need to talk about these to outsiders.
The same thing is said, this butt determines the head. Those who listen to this are all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Of course they feel happy and feel that they are valued by the rulers, so they certainly support Wu Meiniang.
People from all over the world seemed very excited after listening to Wu Meiniang's speech and were full of hope for the future.
Xiangzhou.
"You can actually say these words yourself."
Cui Jieren, standing on a pile of straw, looked at Wu Meiniang who was talking loudly on the road, and suddenly spoke in a low voice.
He also studied Han Yi. He heard that Wu Meiniang's words were extremely contagious, and it must have been prepared by Han Yi for Wu Meiniang.
Han Yi did not deny it, just said, "Where do you see it? Can I say this by myself?"
Cui Jiebian said: "This can help you gain fame. Last time you saved our Tang Dynasty, you have received the support of many people. If you can find a way to help the people overcome a hurdle, your fame may really surpass our Cui Lu Zheng King."
Han Yi said: "First of all, you overestimate the status of Choi Lu Zheng Wang in my mind. That was only ten years ago. Secondly, this will also drive me into the abyss. So, it is really too sinister to say that."
Cui Jieren was a little stunned and said, "I really didn't expect you to answer my question so bluntly."
Han Yi said: "I have always said that you are a bit sinister."
Cui Jieren smiled and said, "Compared with Brother Lu, Brother Zheng and others, I am indeed not a gentleman, but compared with what you do, I can at least have a clear conscience."
Han Yi said: "What a clear conscience. So you Shandong gentry have controlled Shandong for so many years, but it is not certain that there is any development in Shandong. I have only been in Yangzhou for a few years. Now the people of Yangzhou are much richer than the people of Shandong. It can be seen that these useless people can have a clear conscience. Few people with real talents can have a clear conscience."
Cui Jieren said lightly: "The contributions made by our Shandong gentry to the Central Plains are definitely not something you can achieve."
"Is that so? I really didn't notice it!" Han Yi smiled contemptuously and said, "By the way! There are many great gentry in Henan, and the main gentry are your Shandong gentry. However, it seems that your gentry seems very low-key in this matter, which makes me curious. I remember that you have always been very high-profile."
Cui Jieren smiled and said, "I really didn't expect you to take your time and remember our aristocrats."
Han Yi said: "Friends may forget, but the enemy will definitely remember."
Cui Jiebian said: "In other words, you know your policies, which is not good for our gentry."
Han Yi said: "I didn't say that, and I don't think so either. I just think your aristocrats will definitely think so."
Cui Jieren smiled and said, "I don't know those little gentry, but I know you underestimated our Shandong gentry."
Han Yi said, "I hope to hear the details."
Cui Jieren smiled and said, "Don't you know that many of your business policies actually originated from our Shandong."
Han Yi said in surprise: "I really don't know this."
Cui Jie said: "You should know Prime Minister Guan Zhong of Qi."
Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course I know this."
Cui Jie said: "Then Guan Zhongbing is also a businessman. His experience is somewhat similar to yours. He has gone from a businessman to the prime minister of a generation of overlords. When he helped Duke Huan of Qi to dominate the country, he allowed the country to develop industry and commerce. Now the national policies are similar to his policies at that time. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if we talk about wealth, we must be the State of Qi, and if we talk about wealthy businessmen in the world, we must be the State of Qi. Our Shandong gentry already has this foundation. Now, most of our Shandong gentry have reached a consensus. Even if the country emphasizes industry and commerce, our Shandong gentry will not sink into this. On the contrary, our Shandong gentry will not only continue to maintain the head of the gentry, but will also become the head of the merchants."
Speaking of the latter, he looked arrogant.
Could it be that this guy is also using this to integrate their Shandong gentry, this bastard, always taking a sailboat, which is really outrageous. Han Yi muttered to himself, but said, "Why? Do you say it with your mouth?"
"No, no."
Cui Jieren shook his head and said, "In fact, pure merchants have good sides and bad sides. The same is true for pure gentry. But what is interesting is that the good side of this gentry can repair the bad side of the merchants, and the good side of the merchants can make up for the shortcomings of the gentry. And today, the only one who can combine the two is the Shandong gentry. As long as I, Shandong merchants can become the model of merchants in the Central Plains, then my Shandong gentry will also become the leader of merchants. This is what I often talk about. Since Qin to the present, national policies have not been unchanged, but my Shandong gentry can survive because we have a deep foundation and we can adapt to changes in the same way."
In fact, he is a very interesting person. On the one hand, he is arrogant by nature, but at the same time he has the modesty of a gentleman. He will not always perform heroic return like Han Yi. He is very low-key in the process, but his low-key does not mean incompetence. He is accompanying him all the way and gets a little benefit from it from time to time. This gathers less and becomes more.
In fact, he has been winning all the time. Han Yi's reforms have caused a great impact on tradition. He has always taken advantage of this. The Shandong Group he founded is actually a tool to integrate Shandong gentry.
Han Yi teased: "What did your father teach you?"
Cui Jieren smiled and said, "I am very proud of having such a wise father. If it weren't for my father's earnest teachings, I wouldn't be who I am today. I am grateful for this. I will never do anything to do to my father. This is the foundation of being a human being."
Han Yi couldn't hear his sarcasm, and he also expected in advance that the father and son might have seen something, and laughed: "Actually, I am the same, but we came from a farmer family and we have to make a lot more contribution than you. After all, yours are far higher than us. But then again, I really look forward to your Shandong gentry being able to shine in this change, rather than being discredited as before. I am really tired of that kind of scene."
Cui Jieren nodded and said, "It will definitely happen, and it won't let you wait for a long time. Our gentry will stand up soon. I can even say thank you in advance. If it weren't for your change, our Shandong gentry would have been in danger. After all, the royal family has been targeting us everywhere."
The reason why he angered Li Shimin was because he mocked Li Shimin for suppressing their Shandong gentry.
What are the tricks about this guy? Han Yi knew that this guy would not be aimless and smiled: "You really haven't changed in Chengdu. You don't like to do anything by yourself. You like to take someone's sailboat."
