Capital Datang

"Datang?" Li Yin was a little confused when he heard Wang An's words, so, "The feuding of nobles is our internal affairs of Daqi, so what's the matter with Datang?"

However, Wang An shook his head, put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Your Majesty's words are only half correct. If we put it in the past, it is indeed my Daqi's internal affairs to confer titles on some common people who have made great contributions. Tang also has no right to interfere, but His Majesty does not know, yesterday I received a message from Mr. Zhangsun, the content is about the difference in the flow of businessmen between the two countries."

"Oh, after the death of Prime Minister Fang, the eldest grandson Wuji became No.1 under his father. His business is very important, but what does this 'discrepancy in the flow of businessmen' mean?" Li Yin heard this, "Lu" He said with a very interested expression.

Even if Li Yin didn't ask, Wang An also planned to find a time to relay to him the content of Changsun Wuji's public school, but because he only received it yesterday, he didn't have time yet, and now he just chatted with Li Yin about this The problem was solved, so Wang An also explained the so-called difference in the flow of merchants.

Strictly speaking, merchants refer to those who are not engaged in production, but are only responsible for buying and selling things, and earning the difference from them.But now with the development of industry, more and more businessmen are turning to invest in industry and open various factories. In addition, some people invest in plantations to grow various cash crops for profit. Therefore, these industrial owners and plantations Lords can also be regarded as part of the merchants.Moreover, quite a few businessmen span several fields, not only opening their own factories or plantations, but also responsible for sales, so the definition of a businessman has expanded a lot.Capital Datang 681

Speaking of which, Datang has been a country for many years, and its population is several times that of Daqi.Moreover, Li Yin was also promoting the development of industry and commerce in Datang at the beginning, and it was not until more than a decade ago that he began to shift his focus to Taiwan, Nanyang and other places. Therefore, no matter how we look at it, the industry and commerce of Datang should be stronger than that of Daqi.

But the truth is exactly the opposite.Before Li Yin established his country, his fiscal revenue had surpassed that of Tang Dynasty. Although Taiwan and Nanyang were small in size, they were developing rapidly in terms of industry and commerce. The industry cannot be compared with Datang, and other emerging industries such as the steel industry, textile industry, and glass industry have already surpassed Datang.

The reason for this phenomenon is not only because of Li Yin's own development.Instead, after seeing the openness and freedom of Taiwan and other places, many businessmen in Datang slowly transferred some industries in Datang to the outside. At the beginning, they didn't see much, but after a long time, those who transferred from Datang The resulting industry is quite terrifying.It directly caused the explosive growth of industry and commerce in Taiwan and other places, while the industry and commerce of Datang did not increase but decreased.Under the ebb and flow, it is not surprising that Daqi's industry and commerce surpassed Datang's in such a short period of time.

Datang did not pay much attention to this issue, but after Li Yin established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, Daqi was on an equal footing with Datang, and Li Yin also started an official newspaper called "Daqi Daily". Every year, the fiscal revenue and expenditure of the previous year are published in newspapers.In order to allow the people to monitor the ability of the administrative agencies.It was also through the newspaper that Datang suddenly discovered that Daqi's annual financial income was higher than theirs.

Regarding this situation, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't figure it out at first.Later, after a period of investigation, it turned out that the merchants in Datang were lost. Many merchants started their businesses in Datang, but now they all moved to live in Daqi.At the same time, their industries are slowly transferring to Daqi.

It was precisely after figuring this out that Changsun Wuji sent Wang An a letter.The content mentioned in it is about the mutual mobility of merchants from Datang and Daqi, and it also specifically points out that although many merchants from Daqi go to Datang to do business every year, few of them will stay. Datang, on the contrary, when merchants from Datang went to Daqi to do business, six or seven out of ten would slowly move to Daqi.

Speaking of Daoist Changsun Wuji, although his tone was very polite, there was a sense of accusing Daqi in his words. It is estimated that they saw the loss of so many Datang merchants every year, which greatly affected their reputation. Taxation, so I feel a little grievance, but I am concerned about the relationship between the two countries, so I didn't criticize it explicitly.

After Li Yin listened to Mr. Changsun Wuji's content, he showed a light smile and said, "Wang Fu, Mr. Changsun Wuji would not send such an accusing Mr. for no reason. He must have asked for something else." ?”

Li Yin couldn't understand Changsun Wuji very well. Although he didn't have much contact with him when he was in Chang'an, Li Yin knew that although Changsun Wuji had many shortcomings, he was indeed very talented. Otherwise, he would not have taken over Fang Xuanling's position.Now that he sees that there is a problem with Datang's industry and commerce, he will definitely find a way to solve it.

"Your Majesty is wise, the eldest grandson did make a 'little' request at the end of the day." When Wang An said the word 'little', he deliberately emphasized his tone, and at the same time, there was a kind of "little" request on his face. Weird look.

"Wait a minute, let me guess!" Li Yin suddenly interrupted Wang Andao at this moment, only to see him take a sip of tea, and then he smiled and said, "Want to solve the loss of businessmen in Datang?" The problem, we can only start from two aspects. The first is to improve the business and living environment in Datang, but this is simply impossible. The second is to let us cooperate in Daqi and restrict the business of Datang merchants in Daqi. Settling down, I guess Changsun Wuji will definitely choose the second one!"

"Hahaha~, Your Majesty is indeed wise. Your Majesty Changsun has indeed made a request. I hope we can make some restrictions to slow down the loss of Datang merchants." Wang An said with a big laugh.Every time he talked with Li Yin, he would feel very comfortable, because no matter what he said, Li Yin could quickly understand and even guess the result directly, which saved him a lot of energy.At the same time, Wang An was also thinking in his heart, if all the officials under him could be like His Majesty, then it would be much easier for him as Prime Minister.

Li Yin also smiled a little smugly, and then asked: "Since Changsun Wuji made this request, how is Wang Fu going to answer him?"

After hearing this, Wang An replied without hesitation: "Although I understand Changsun Wuji's situation very well, our Daqi is based on business, and our policies are more inclined to commercial development. All walks of life are better than Datang's. To develop fast, merchants can make better profits in our Daqi. Datang is obviously behind us. Merchants pursue profit. They are willing to stay in Daqi and not return to Datang. This is their freedom. , if we make restrictions on this point, it will not only violate our country, but also cause dissatisfaction among some businessmen, so Changsun Wuji's request must not be granted!"

Li Yin nodded after listening, the loss of businessmen was due to a problem with Datang.When he was in Datang, he worked hard to promote the development of industry and commerce, but when industry and commerce developed to a certain level, Li Yin discovered very keenly that in Datang, although because of his special status and Li Shimin's enlightenedness, industry and commerce There is a flourishing situation.

But after all, Datang is a country based on agriculture, and officials with traditional Confucianism are also centered around agriculture, so when industry and commerce develop to a certain level, they will definitely be suppressed from all sides. This kind of suppression is not entirely Man-made, and some objective reasons such as systems and concepts also have a considerable relationship.

If you want to change the suppression of industry and commerce from all aspects of Datang, you must carry out an all-round reform in all aspects of Datang, but this kind of reform will inevitably involve the interests of all aspects, and if you are not careful, it may bring Datang into a catastrophe. Even if the reform is successful, it will take a long time.

At the beginning, Li Yin was not sure about carrying out this kind of reform in Datang, so he went overseas and conquered Daqi with his bare hands.Because for Li Yin, the time and success of reform are far greater than his establishment of a new country.

Compared with the intertwined situation in the Tang Dynasty, Daqi can be said to have grown from scratch. Everything was accumulated bit by bit by Li Yin and his subordinates. From the very beginning, the foundation of building a country based on business was laid. The business atmosphere in China is very strong, and its values ​​are different from those in Datang. In this way, even an old Confucian master who lives in this environment will be completely assimilated after a long time in this environment. This is the external environment influence on people.Capital Datang 681

"Your Majesty, from the perspective of veterans, the current situation in Datang is not very good. Although many merchants have moved to our Daqi, there are also some merchants who can only stay in Datang due to various reasons. I am very dissatisfied with the suppression of business, and sometimes I can see some complaints in the newspapers, if Datang does not want to solve this problem, I am afraid that if it accumulates for a long time, it will cause a big "chaos"!"

Although Wang An doesn't know what a bourgeois revolution is, but based on his understanding of the general trend, he has already seen the problems that Datang may cause with a very forward-looking perspective.

Li Yin also glanced at Wang An appreciatively after hearing this, and then said: "The Tang Dynasty needs a change, and he is very clear about this, but he is old and has a bit of old thinking, so he can't help it. Adapt to the needs of change, so for this change, Father is powerless."

Wang An was taken aback when he heard this, it was the first time he heard someone comment on Li Shimin like this.Whether it is in Datang or Daqi, all the people recognize that Li Shimin is worthy of being a hero of a generation. He not only created the heyday of Datang, but also has several great sons, but Li Yin is Li Shimin's favorite son. It's kind of weird to say those words.

Seeing Wang An's surprised look, Li Yin showed a helpless wry smile for the sake of banning. The above words were not said by him, but his own evaluation of himself in a letter Li Shimin gave him, and in this letter In the letter, Li Shimin also made a very difficult request to Li Yin.
