Chapter 234
"Business is what you love and what I want, where is there any black-hearted talk?"

Full moon disagrees, "It's a black heart to shoddy. If the rich buy more, then I can lower the price of ordinary soap to benefit the poor. If I make adjustments in the middle, isn't it tantamount to subsidizing the poor in disguise?"

"And I also made money. I can do more things for the family and let more people study. After they study, they can serve the country. I, Yang Manyue, started my business by relying on industry and commerce. what!"

Everyone was stunned.

The word "monster" kept flashing in my mind!

Yang Chengyi's eyes widened, and a trace of panic flashed in his heart.

Although he was promoted to a higher level just before he became an official, he has been an official all his life and has worked in the local government for many years. That is: pragmatic.

I don't have so many unrealistic ideas, and I have a relatively good understanding of people's livelihood.Man Yue used her business as an example, especially the last sentence, ordinary soap is cheap and affordable, and the poor deeply shocked him.

In this way, wouldn't everyone benefit from it?

Since the last period, he has firmly believed that wealth is fixed. If the rich take more, the poor will get less, but now it seems that there is something wrong with their distribution method?

Then I heard the man continue: "And when my business is successful, I have to expand production and expand production. But how many people are there in our Yang family? Just fill in the mother's homes of all aunts and aunts. As long as my workshop continues to expand , That’s not enough. The children who went to Ningbo with the full moon this year, before returning, they had a frenzied sweep in Xiaogang. What did they sweep? Naturally, it’s New Year’s goods.”

"If you have money in your hands, you will naturally spend it. Bring a few headbands for the younger sister in the family, buy a silver hairpin for the old lady who has worked hard all her life, and pull a few feet of cloth for the family. They have worked hard and earned wages from me. , and then spend it to other merchants. If the business is good, the merchants will have to pay more taxes? In this way, the country will benefit.”

"Furthermore, the business is getting better. Do we need to increase the quantity of purchases? So where do the goods come from? Take cloth as an example. Do you need cotton? Do you need raw silk? Where do these things come from? From the field! Everyone has a lot of money. , You don’t have to be so stingy when you eat something. The rations at home will increase, right? Thousands of Chinese farmers face the loess and their backs to the sky. Why? Isn’t it just to eat? Is the farmers’ grain easy to sell? Will the increase in farmers’ income increase other demands?”

Full Moon hooked her lips, "Will you buy something useful when you see it? For example, buy a laundry soap for the mother-in-law at home?"

Erbo's eyeballs were about to fall off, and he said in surprise, "Well, isn't this back to the original point?"

Full moon nodded, "Wealth in the world has a certain amount, but wealth is like water. Only when it is circulated to all links, so that everyone can get benefits, can our country become stronger! Only rich people can create a strong country! This is what is called a rich country. powerful!!"

"Then how do you explain the existence of Song Yichao?"

Yang Chengyi said: "There was a Song dynasty that hid wealth from the people, but in the end..."

"Everyone thinks Song is weak, but Song is really weak?"

Full Moon shook her head, "The treasury income of the land in the Southern Song Dynasty was more than ten times that of the Ming Dynasty in its heyday, and even reached more than 20 times when it was high. When fighting against the Mongolian Yuan, the Great Song Dynasty was the last to perish. And the Great Song Dynasty did not perish due to foreign enemies. , is defeated by internal affairs.”

As a liberal arts student, Man Yue still has this knowledge, and she couldn't help but say: "Take the two reforms of the Song Dynasty as an example, the Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's reforms. The main reason for the failure of the first reform is the emperor!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face changed. Although Daming did not prohibit talking about the gains and losses of the previous emperors, it was still somewhat dissatisfying for the ancient elites who were deeply loved by the "kings, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth" to point out the faults of an emperor so bluntly easy to accept.

But Man Yue didn't care about this, and just said: "Who were the people in the court at that time? Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, and Han Qi were all loyal ministers, but they were all kicked out of the court in the end. The disciples naturally resisted, but Song Renzong finally could not bear the oppression of the forces and had to give up. In order to protect these loyal ministers, he had to demote Fan Zhongyan and others from the court. If he had the perseverance of Shenzong, he would probably succeed..."

"Let's talk about Wang Anshi's reform."

Man Yue smiled wryly, "Actually, the law is a good law, and the biggest reason why Wang Anshi's reform failed was that he miscalculated the moral level of all officials. If officials in a country expect to do things with conscience, then this country has no hope! That's why Wang Anshi failed. The reason for the failure of the two reforms is that the reforms will touch the interests of many people, and Wang Anshi's post-party struggle started, so the Great Song Dynasty was not defeated by foreign enemies, but self-defeated!"

Everyone fell into deep thought, and after a long time, the fourteenth uncle sighed: "Zhang Jiangling (Zhang Juzheng) tried to do business and tax several times, but he was wiped out at the very beginning. He is as bold as he would not dare to do it easily Do something. Even so, a whip Fayi let him be slaughtered after death, is the real emperor furious?!"

This question is thought-provoking, and the topic can't help being heavy. Uncle Fourteen continued: "It's ridiculous to say that the country is broken, and a group of people died. The opening of the sea by Lord Chongzhen is completed, and the commercial taxation under a different name It is also done, but in the past, once the emperor moved his mind, there would be the ancestral family law, and if it is true, it will not be broken or established..."

The Fourteenth Uncle's tone was tinged with sarcasm, "I heard that the false emperor of the Tartars in the north is implementing the practice of distributing the land to the mu, and the gentry and gentry pay the grain as a whole, yes, yes..."

The trend of dedication in the Ming Dynasty was serious. Gold Juren and Silver Jinshi were not just for fun.Not to mention juren, even if you become a scholar, you can be exempted from tax for two stones, and if you are a juren, you will be exempted from tax. It is not unreasonable for Fan Jinzhong to go crazy.

In the Ming Dynasty, people were not afraid of taxes or anything, but labor was what the people feared most, and that would really lead to bankruptcy.For example, the Kuzi led by Ye Qi is also a kind of labor, that is, labor that will make you unable to survive for generations.

Even though the reforms over the years have eliminated some disadvantages, if the higher-ups want to mess with you, they can still use this method to kill you.Therefore, it is only natural that the owner farmers voluntarily depend on the big households.

Not only can you be exempted from handyman, but also tax-free, and you can rely on it. A fool would not do it!
Only in this way, the country suffers a great loss.

China was a big agricultural country in ancient times, especially the Ming Dynasty, which sneered at commercial taxes. Some county magistrates were even commended for exempting commercial taxes by placing a sign at the gate of the county government.The commercial tax is gone, so the agricultural tax is naturally important, but the self-cultivating farmers have all gone to contribute to famous families, and the country's land has shrunk, and the money bag will naturally be suffocated.

This is the reason why a whip method, measuring the land, can be effective quickly, because there are too many lands guarded by Yingzang!
Man Yue also sighed slightly, and said, "At least it's better than before..."

Everyone didn't speak any more, Uncle Fourteen picked up a thin piece of cold pork liver and slowly put it into his mouth, grinding it slowly with his few remaining teeth, and swallowed it after a long while, saying: "I'm old , I don’t want to think about these things anymore, but you young people should work harder. Boss..."

"exist……"

"You are the head of the patriarch now, and you should pay more attention to some things. I think Eleven Niang said it well. Our Yang family's theory of governance is based on learning from the heart and is actually meritorious deeds. Don't just pick out the illiterate children, pick a few smart ones. Yes, good knowledge, follow Eleven Niang to do business."

"what?!"

The uncle was taken aback, "Then, the studies..."

"idiot!"

The fourteenth uncle was furious, "It's so stupid! To do things, to do things, you must first learn how to do things and then learn. If there are people in the family who can do things, let them follow and learn. This is Eleven Niang's care, who would not like it?" Yes, don't be a descendant of my Yang family anymore!"

Wow, as expected of being an official, it seems that Uncle Fourteen has discovered from his own words that this is a terrifying force, right?

Yang Manyue was secretly happy. There are many people around her, but there are still too few scholars. The next thing to do is inseparable from people who can write and count!
"Eleven girl..."

"The grandchildren are in..."

"Go to the old man's place in the afternoon. The old woman made hooves at home. I'm too old to eat. You can eat from the main house."

"Ai!"

Man Yue responded crisply, and everyone knew that this was the opportunity for Uncle Fourteen to give a private instruction.

Eighth Uncle pinched his beard, smiled like a fox, and thought to himself: "You cunning little thing, you got Uncle Fourteen into it, it seems like you have a lot to do next year..."

The meal ended like this, and everyone went back to their rooms. Yang Zhen was also exhausted today, and the two sisters said goodbye after a few gossips.

Man Yue and Mrs. Chen returned to their yard with Man Cang. Man Yue took a sip of water and said, "Mother, during the dinner just now, I saw that Xiao Shi's face was not very good. He is happy to be back with his own mother. Why do I think he is so happy?" Like?"

"oops!"

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she rubbed her brows, "Don't mention it, the old lady said something when you left, and asked Xiao Shi to sleep with her. Of course Fifth Sister-in-law didn't want to. You already had a hard time before you came back..."

"what?"

Man Yue was surprised, "Why did Grandma suddenly?"

He suddenly stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, and he understood it all at once.

She couldn't help shaking her head, "Although Aunt Fifth is a bit mean and mean, she is Xiao Shi's mother after all. Although grandmother is kind, it may make it easier for Xiao Shi..."

Without further ado, they privately discussed that the elders were unfilial in ancient times, and Man Yue was also helpless. What happened to Xiao Shi made everyone in the two rooms uncomfortable, and Xiao Shi was probably the most uncomfortable and pitiful among them.

For her cheap little brother, Man Yue is more sympathetic. After all, she was very young when she lost her parents in her previous life, and she can understand that kind of longing; but Xiao Shi is even more miserable than her. Her parents are there, but she can't see her...

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Chen sighed heavily, and said: "Little mother, to be honest, I think Fifth Sister-in-law cares about Xiao Shi so much, why don't you pay them back... Mother, what mother said is not selfish. Mother doesn't expect anything extravagantly. I hope you are safe and sound. Xiao Shi, this child, is not close to mother. Mother does not love him. Even if he does not make trouble, mother is also responsible for taking care of him. After all, sister-in-law Wu is here, he always treats me a little... ..."

"Madam, the ten young masters are here..."
