Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 240 The Choice of the Northern Huns
"Dijun, this is the first thing, this is it!" Cai Zhaoji sent a document.

"Spiritual talent?" Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, Cai Zhaoji had already developed a spiritual talent.

"Thanks to sister Huang Tianji's favor!" Cai Zhaoji nodded, which is why he was able to stand in this government affairs hall today.

Today's government affairs office is dealing with major issues, which are related to the future development direction of the entire empire. Spiritual talent is only a barrier to entry. She seized this opportunity and successfully became a spiritual talent owner under Huang Tianji's training.

The effect of Cai Zhaoji's spiritual talent is classification, which can sort out complex things and sort them out. This is what she has been doing these days. In layman's terms, it is infinite dichotomy, which has great potential.

"Let me see, the new business law?" Mu Yi fell silent after reading the document. No wonder a group of resourceful people couldn't make a decision. This kind of thing really needs him to make the final decision.

In this era, business is really not a big deal, business is what it is, including the current Minister of Commerce, Mi Zhu, who thinks so. In their view, business is just a tool in their hands, not their foundation.

But the counselors who had seen the Song Dynasty still chose to pay attention to one or two, but the way to pay attention to one or two was to adjust the business structure.

After all, in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was a proper negative teaching material. It was because the foundation of the country was shaken that there were rich people who were oppressed and beaten by foreigners.

The reason is that because of the wanton development of commerce, the court has been tainted with the atmosphere of merchants, with loyalty in their mouths and interests in their hearts.

So in the general direction, they agree to suppress business.

But on how to suppress, a group of people can't argue about a result.

"Mi Zhu, tell me what you think!"

Mu Yi clicked on Mi Zhu, business law cannot avoid merchants, and now Mi Zhu is also a giant businessman who straddles two worlds, although it is more because of his backing from the government, but the greasy smell of money and money alone is enough for the Mi family to grow. Another lap.

Mi Zhu was a little embarrassed. He was the only one present without spiritual talent. He was able to stand here entirely because he held the position of Minister of Commerce equivalent to Jiuqing.

Speaking of which, this is also one of the biggest problems under Mu Yi's current command. The official position system is very chaotic. There are a lot of positions with real power and false power. However, these will be completely determined after the sacrificial ceremony. Huang Tianji is already ranking the positions according to meritorious service.

At that time, the merits and positions will be equal, and the past achievements will be wiped out, and the rest will be purely based on merits.

"Tell the truth, just tell your own feelings, don't think about other things!" Mu Yi said looking at Mi Zhu.

"To be honest, I am very satisfied with the current tax law, and the national treasury is indeed getting richer, and the current accounts are also supervised by Mrs. Huang Tianji!" When Mi Zhu said this, his chest involuntarily puffed up.

Although he himself has no spiritual talent, he is talented in making money, and the talent is great, otherwise it would be impossible to create such a large family business from scratch.

Later, after the cross-border business, he was even more like a duck to water. He borrowed part of the economic policies of the Song Dynasty and almost completely circulated the economy. Moreover, he took the initiative to hand over the accounts to Huang Tianji for review.

The business tax under Mu Yi's command is very low. Exorbitant taxes such as the city entry tax have been eliminated, and the transaction tax is left. Although there are taxes and fees that are more than ten times that of the luxury tax, they are generally very suitable for business. Breeding.

It's not that Mi Zhu didn't realize that there are more and more merchants in the market, and there are obviously more small stalls and hawkers. The smooth roads and preferential policies have made many people start to carry out commercial activities.

Even if there is Huang Tianji to supervise, can you still control the small business of bartering among common people?Of course, these can be summed up in the welfare of the people which is nothing.

The important thing is tax evasion and tax evasion. The transaction tax needs to be supervised. Otherwise, the aristocratic family will directly change hands several times and turn the transaction into an increase, which will easily damage the official interests.

However, there is also a corresponding method of checking accounts, and this thing relies on roads, so even tax evasion is a small trouble. It is enough to find out that the family is ransacked. This is the status of businessmen these days. Naturally, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

But this thing was easy to use before because it can attract businessmen from all over the world, which is equivalent to kidnapping other businessmen under Mu Yi's command, strengthening oneself and weakening others in disguise.

But the problem is that the world now belongs to Mu Yi, if you continue to do this, there will be problems, so Zhuge Liang and the others are planning to suppress business and redesign business law.

Troubled times are the best time for businessmen to make money. It has never been heard that there will be fewer merchants in troubled times. Only during the Taiping period can merchants be controlled.

Zhuge Liang's calculations are not unreasonable. If business is not properly guided, it is not a good thing for the country.

The business is too prosperous, and many people who are not engaged in production have a better life than the working people. This has already shaken the foundation of the country.

After all, the foundation of a country has never been the economy, but food.

What's more, the example of Song Shijie is in front of them, and they are all aware of the consequences of over-prosperity in business.

So how to suppress it has become a problem. Of course they are aware of the necessity of business, and they can't even see this clearly because of their inherent concepts.

They are very clear that merchants at this stage buy and sell more surplus materials, and transfer surplus items from one area to another area, which is the so-called specialty products.

"Kong Ming, tell me what you think!" Mu Yi touched his chin. Although he had been exposed to some things because of the information explosion, he really didn't understand it very well.

"Stable prices, increase business taxes, and limit businessmen's food and clothing expenses, it's a good idea!" Zhuge Liang put forward his opinion calmly.

The standard template of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce has almost continued the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce from the pre-Qin, Eastern Han, and Western Han Dynasties.

It can be regarded as putting the merchants in a cage. Even the rich and big merchants cannot enjoy life. The status of farmers is too high and the status of merchants is limited.

Moreover, it is the policy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to collect property taxes from merchants.
The advantages of calculating and suing are very obvious, but the land annexation caused by the disadvantages is also very obvious, but the current policy is the state-owned land system, which can be regarded as avoiding the problem of land annexation, so that these policies can be used .

Mu Yi turned to look at Xun Yu on the other side. Xun Yu obviously disagreed with Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

"It is absolutely impossible to increase taxes. The tax rate must be constant, otherwise the exorbitant taxes will eventually be revived again!" Xun Yu's words made Mu Yi also nod his head.

It doesn't matter whether Tang Taizong changed his daily life or not, the important thing is that he made a bad start.

It's like Taishan Fengchan is very powerful, but after a certain emperor pulls up, there is no gold content at all.

The government may not increase miscellaneous taxes, but there are many village regulations in many small places, and miscellaneous taxes are just a matter of their upper lip touching their lower lip.

In many cases, the above policy is good, but when it is carried out, as long as the meaning is slightly misinterpreted, it will completely change the flavor.

"My opinion is to stabilize commodity prices, stabilize food prices, limit the collusion between officials and businessmen, and restrict merchants from becoming officials. Blocking is worse than slacking off. It is better to let go of business and lock the ceiling of business." Xun Yu's meaning is also very simple, and Zhuge Liang's completely Suppressing merchants is different, he chose to suppress merchants.

Others also have different opinions. Generally speaking, they almost all suppress business from various angles.

Some restrict the descendants of merchants from studying, some restrict their food and clothing expenses, some restrict their scale, and some even want to restrict their income. Various angles cover almost everything that restricts merchants from all levels of society.

Mu Yi held his chin and thought for a long time. He felt that there was no need to suppress business. The future he pursued was the sea of ​​stars and the infinite universe. More people should be given more choices.

What is the end of the businessman?end-of-life?Or is it the emperor?

It doesn't seem to be any different from the end of other careers.

If there really is that kind of businessman who can control the entire world, how about giving him a world?

Moreover, the essence of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is to limit the number of off-duty people.

Today, Shennong's Shennong spells can almost be called modern agriculture, and the food production has soared. Maybe one day it will directly liberate farming from the ground up, and maybe it will turn farming into a hobby.

To solve the food problem, you need to arrange some more career outlets. Merchant is also a very good career choice, and it seems to be a good choice to conduct business activities across several worlds.

It has to be said that the idealistic world can always impact the materialistic world to a certain extent.

"Let's let this go for now. It's still necessary for businessmen to do a good job of stability, guide the normal development of business, and limit the collusion between officials and businessmen before it's time for businessmen to restrain themselves!" Mu Yi pondered for a moment before making a decision. .

Then the task was handed over to Xun Yu and Mi Zhu to be jointly responsible for handling it. Professional matters were handed over to a professional person. He could only make decisions, and the specific implementation depended on the follow-up of Xun Yu and Mi Zhu.

Zhuge Liang and the others were not surprised either. Everyone looked at the problem from different perspectives. Since Mu Yi made such a decision, let's let it go for now.

After all, this matter is a long-term matter, and they have accumulated a lot of things that they will face now.

"The second thing is about the Northern Huns!" Cai Zhaoji wrote down everything just now in her mind, and then handed another document to Mu Yi.

Business can only be regarded as an active atmosphere, and the Northern Huns are the end.

"Northern Huns!"

A cold light flashed in Mu Yi's eyes. It seemed that the weather was fine and the Northern Xiongnu felt that they could do it again. They thought that if the Han Dynasty was overthrown, domestic turmoil would give them a chance to go south?

"According to the previous plan, after the beginning of spring, the Xiliang iron cavalry and the Qiang people led by the Qiang King will jointly conquer the Western Regions, and General Tai Shici and General Gan Ning will go up from Liaodong to take Liaodong by sea."

Jia Xu sighed, the plan could not keep up with the changes.

Different from the previous guesses, this time Jia Xu has obtained a lot of actual evidence that the Northern Huns have really begun to gather miscellaneous Huns on the grasslands and plan to go south.

The force that has been making trouble behind the Qiang people is indeed the Northern Huns. Ma Chao and Jia Xu have already discovered evidence, and it is from the tribe behind the Great Elder that they discovered further plans about the Northern Huns.

"What is certain now is that the northern Xiongnu will go south after the beginning of spring!" Jia Xu said indifferently.

Originally thought that the Northern Huns would operate for two years, but they did not expect that the Northern Huns were so eager to seek death, probably because they felt that the south was still uncertain, and the further they dragged on, the less chance they had.

In fact, this is indeed the case. With the Han Dynasty gone, how could they watch a new empire rise.

They know very well that even if they change the name of the country, there are still those Han people inside. For them, the currently divided Han Dynasty is their best opponent.

If it wasn't too late for knowing the news, and they were waiting for the elites who came back from Central Asia, they would have already stepped in when the Hu people went south to attack Bingzhou.

However, if you missed it, you missed it, but it was precisely because Zhang Liao defeated the Hu people's coalition army that made the Hu people extremely vulnerable, and it was impossible for the Northern Huns to rule the Hu people so easily.

After all, there is still a big difference between control and rule. The former represents instability, while the latter represents stability.

And a Northern Xiongnu who united Zahu also made up for its biggest deficiency, that is, the lack of numbers in the headquarters.

Almost all the places in the world that can support the birth of the empire have been invaded. Even the Parthian Empire in Central Asia is not something that the current Northern Huns can touch porcelain.

After all, it is still a unified empire that has not yet been divided. Even if it is paralyzed by another empire, the Xiongnu has no possibility of defeating it and eating it.

Their number is too small, so they can only wander, wandering between the Western Regions and Liaodong, wandering in the northern border farther than the Hu people.

The Xiongnu who unified the Hu people had the capital to swallow the Parthian Empire, but when they set foot on the grassland, there was no turning back.

Even the contemporary Xiongnu Shanyu can only choose to back down in the face of most of the boiling Hun tribe warriors.

If he refuses to go south, it is very likely that he will be directly killed by this group of warriors who have been blinded by hatred.

Then it became desperate, and the Xiongnu had no choice but to go south to rebuild the empire, or be wiped out by the Han Dynasty again.

Therefore, the Xiongnu Shanyu directly chose the speed of soldiers, focusing on the fact that Kaichun Zahu could not survive, and the northern Xiongnu took the lead to bring these Hu people southward with the will to survive.

In this way, the most powerful fighting power of these barbarians can be brought into play.

It's not just talk, as long as these Hu people can break through the shackles in their hearts and face the Han Dynasty directly, the Northern Huns are also willing to absorb these Hu people into the headquarters of the Huns. After all, the Huns themselves are a collection of tribes.

The bloodlines of the past are completely unimportant. Now there is only one standard for the Northern Xiongnu, and that is to face the Han Dynasty directly. It is a one-on-one confrontation, rather than a direct confrontation of one Han as five Hu. The meanings of the two are completely different.
