Chapter 582

This impromptu small court meeting became a battlefield where the two sides came and went. Obviously, the emperor carried the might of victory, and his voice was extraordinarily loud.

Regarding the road construction, several ministers came out to oppose it, but they were easily blocked by the emperor. More people had to stand up and oppose the emperor's commercial road construction. If this one fails, then the emperor's subordinates " Those who pay taxes, it is estimated that they will have to increase by a few percent, and those who do not pay taxes, their power will be greatly reduced, and the two sides will increase each other. People who do not pay taxes will not be able to occupy many places in the world today. Here comes the advantage.It was originally a party struggle, but now, the party struggle has gradually become a "tax payment dispute", and those who pay taxes and those who do not pay taxes have gradually become enemies.

"Your Majesty, I object to using business to build roads. First, the cost is too high, which is not as frugal as labor. Second, using business to build roads, the quality of road construction cannot be guaranteed, and corruption will inevitably flourish..."

"Report to Your Majesty, I object to..."

"...The minister objects..."

There are many people who oppose the construction of commercial roads. The interests involved are too great. After all, the emperor said that not only this road should be built, but the whole world should build roads. up.

Yang Reform watched these people blushing and shaking their heads involuntarily.These people really don't have any awareness. In fact, the source of the road construction, the oil residue, is monopolized by themselves. They say that it is cheaper to build roads with labor instead of business. They probably never thought about it. What to do with the oil residue ?As long as I fiddle with the price of the oil residue, it will be enough for these people to drink a pot. If I plan to cheat these people, I will really be cheated one by one, and I will be cheated one by one. By then, it will be 200 million Don't even try to repair this road with silver coins. Let's see how these people end up. If you want to cheat these people, all of them will have to step down.

However, Yang Reform did not intend to bury all these people. After all, this is not in his own interest. At this juncture, it is still necessary to regard stability as a political creed.

Everyone was fighting vigorously, but they saw the emperor laughing there, and everyone stopped to see why the emperor laughed.

"Okay, I understand what you guys mean. It's more economical to use work for relief than to build roads with business, isn't it?" Yang Reform looked at these people with pity. them.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, although the imperial court's money is more abundant now, it should not be wasted like this. What should be saved should be saved..." Han Yu came out and responded to the emperor's intention.

"In fact, this is what I understand. Your family said that it is cheaper to build roads with labor than merchants. I think that the main reason is that it is cheaper in manpower, isn't it? If it is labor relief, the people who come to work It’s almost impossible for the court to spend a lot of money on them, let alone give them a lot of wages, right?” Yang Reform also didn’t want to be too dark, blacking those who “do not pay taxes” is really nothing Meaning, I am still ready to defeat them head-on and convince them.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is right. Using labor to save money saves manpower. If all roads are built with merchants, the labor cost will be expensive..." Han Yu also agreed. at this point.In ancient times, engineering basically relied on manpower, and manpower was free, which undoubtedly saved a lot of money.

"Could it be that my people can only fill their stomachs? Could it be that they can't live better?" Yang Reform asked rhetorically.

Han Yu and the others looked at the emperor suspiciously, what does this mean?
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Han Yu asked in confusion.

"What I mean is that my people should not only be able to feed themselves, they should have a place to work, and they should be able to get paid and income through their work, so that they can live a better life, right?" Yang Reform asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty! This..." Han Yu didn't understand.The ministers also don't understand.

"My meaning is actually very simple. I intend to let my people live better, so that my people can get paid through labor, and then use the rewards to make themselves live better, not just to eat , That's all,..." Yang Reform said.

There was a commotion among the ministers.

"But, Your Majesty, this, this money will cost more." Han Yu said hastily.

"The sages have long said that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least. I think it is correct. Anyway, this road construction is also my money. Compared with it, it can make the people's lives better. I It’s nothing to suffer a little loss, isn’t it just hundreds of thousands of silver coins? This loss, I can afford it, as long as the common people can live better, it’s better for me to suffer a loss than tens of thousands of people. Don’t you often talk to me Say, do you want to understand the sufferings of the people? Do you want to be sympathetic to the strength of the people? This time, I will do it this way. I would rather suffer a loss than let the people suffer. I want to benefit the people. I will never take advantage of the common people by taking advantage of a catastrophe..." Yang Reform looked like I was determined to suffer.

When these words came out, everyone choked to death. We talked about our feelings for a long time, but it's not as useful as your words!Only then did everyone realize that they had neglected the last thing that should not be ignored, that is, the emperor is not short of money now.

The opposition headed by Han Yan has no place to put their face on. They have always represented the people of the world, seeking benefits for the people of the world, and they consider themselves a symbol of fairness and justice. But today, there is really no place to put their face on Well, the real thing is that they competed with the people for profit. The emperor wanted to give money to the people, but they still refused to give it.

The ministers immediately became noisy.

"Mr. Han Ge, this is competing with the people for profit!" Amidst the noise, someone suddenly said something.

"Coax..." Many people suppressed their laughter.The emperors all straightened their backs and smiled at the opposition, while the opposition bowed their heads.Today, it has indeed changed. From ancient times to the present, the emperor has always called for saving, to save, but today, the emperor thinks about spending money outside. This brain really needs to be changed, relying on the inertia of thinking to think about problems, You must suffer.

"Your Majesty is holy..." Han Yu lowered his head and had to admit his mistake to the emperor.

"Your Majesty is holy..." The other opponents also shouted, and after saying this, they were considered defeated.

"Your Majesty is holy...!" This time, everyone shouted.With this cry, it is considered that the matter of building roads with merchants has basically been given.

"Okay, since you all have no objections, then the construction of the road from the capital to Tongzhou this time will be done by merchants, and the Ministry of Industry will send personnel to supervise the progress and quality of the road construction." Yang Reform said with a smile, saying this Things are set.

"Your Majesty is holy." Everyone shouted for a while.

"...By the way, my plan is to build a road with a business. This company will be responsible for many matters related to road construction. A company must have some capital. This road construction business will probably cost a lot of money. It looks like a million silver coins. Therefore, I feel that the capital of this firm must be at least 50 silver coins to be eligible for this business. Therefore, I plan to raise some funds through the stock exchange. If you are interested, Instead, you might as well introduce some big merchants and reputable firms to participate!" Yang Reform used Huatou again to openly talk about the establishment of a firm by raising funds from stocks.

As soon as these words came out, it could be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest. The pot exploded in the warm pavilion, and even the people outside also exploded.

The emperor is blatantly prying the corner of the wall!Some people just want to cry after hearing this. The corner of the wall was pried, and the wall probably collapsed!

Some people really heard it, and their hearts went out. The emperor used the excuse of benefiting the people to spread money outside. That is to say, the emperor has the final say on road construction in the future. Shangzhu roads, how many roads are there in this world?How much profit is there?Since you can't beat the emperor, you might as well go to the emperor's side. It's not bad to follow the emperor. People who follow the emperor make a lot of money. To re-register and pay taxes, that is to say, one's handle and lifeline are all in the hands of the emperor. This point is really hard to make up your mind...

Some people made up their minds that since it would not be beneficial to fight against the emperor, they could do it with the emperor. If the family’s land needs to be re-registered to pay taxes, then re-register, and the money lost there can be made up elsewhere.

Some people are hesitant. If they have to pay taxes, the loss of the family is too great, and they can't do it!After hesitating again and again, I still can’t make up my mind. Although I haven’t made up my mind, I have thought about it. Now that this battle has passed, the emperor has a lot of taxpayers in his hands. I really have to prepare some back roads. Hanged from a tree, no?Even if the emperor wins a big victory in the future, the whole family will not be wiped out, and they can still make a comeback.

Han Yu was very depressed. This time, the emperor suddenly took advantage of the Sancha River victory to order the road construction. He suffered a big loss and didn't get anything. As he walked, he thought about why he always lost , Thinking back on where I was wrong today, and where the emperor won, especially when I think back, why the emperor looked at him with such pitiful eyes, this is strange, this kind of pitiful eyes almost treat them as pitiful creatures, So where is your pity?
Thinking about it, Han Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder the look of pity in the eyes of the emperor was so obvious. It turns out that the emperor let them go and didn't put them to death. If the emperor's hands were a little darker, To deceive them, it is estimated that he, including the people who want to use work for relief, will all have to turn over the altar.

Han Yu broke out in a cold sweat for a while, and his heart warmed up a lot. Since the emperor's hands are not so dark, it proves that the emperor is a person who talks about the overall situation and has credibility. The five-year cabinet promise may still be valid. Thinking of this, Han Yu's heart became much warmer, and the emperor in his impression became clearer and more blurred.
