Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"Your Majesty, since the Department of Shipbuilding is so involved, it should be more cautious to select candidates. The minister is still young and lacks experience. It is difficult to take on such an important post!"

In the Ganlu Temple, after Li Zexuan was silent for a long time, he refused. ×Miscellaneous∮Zhi∮worm×

This is not because he is not "patriotic", but because he feels that this matter does not need him to do it personally! With Li Xiaogong in the Department of Shipping, he was basically able to ensure that no major corruption incidents would occur. He went to help improve the "customs" system of the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't think of anything else.

Furthermore, he always felt that Lao Li was doing his tricks. The current border situation in Datang has not yet reached the point where the war is about to start. According to the normal historical development process, in August of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Ercai sent Li Jing and others to attack the Turks. Now It’s too early. You have to know that there will be a hurdle of locust plague in the Tang Dynasty next year!

Li Er’s gaze suddenly sank, and his face suddenly became uncontrollable. It stands to reason that he, as the emperor himself, did ideological work for his courtiers, and he had already given a lot of face, but Li Zexuan was still incapable of making money. The appearance that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water made him feel annoyed.

"Huh! Young age? Inexperienced? Your kid has done so many things. Which one is capable of being done by someone so young? According to you, should I also remove you as a Marquis? Throughout the ages, there hasn’t been anyone who was named a champion at the age of fifteen? Huo Qubing made great achievements in the past, and he was named a champion at the age of twenty!"

Li Er walked down from above, and said five steps in front of Li Zexuan.

When Li Zexuan heard this, he was a little anxious. It’s okay to be an official, but he must have a title. This thing is the foundation of standing up in ancient feudal society and not being bullied. "Ahem, your majesty is the supreme one in the ninety-five years, and he speaks naturally. Yan Jiuding, how can this award-winning title be taken back?"

Li Zexuan smiled embarrassedly.

"Huh~!"

Li Er was so angry that he brushed his sleeves, if he hadn't considered the emperor's majesty, he really wanted to remove Li Zexuan's title.

"Let's talk about it, how can your kid be willing to work for the Shibo Division? As long as the request is not excessive, I can consider it at my discretion!"

From ancient times to the present, all the courtiers begged the emperor to be an official, but now, he, the emperor, actually "begged" his courtier to be an official, which made Li Er couldn't help but tick his teeth.

However, in his opinion, if the Shibosi Department, an institution that has never existed before, is to be built from scratch, quickly established, and quickly perform its due functions, it must find a long-term vision and thinking. Advanced people who really understand sea trade will manage it. Although Li Xiaogong has personally traveled to sea, he is far behind Li Zexuan in his ideas and ideas.

Let Li Xiaogong be the top leader of the Shishi Department of Shipping, taking over the overall situation, and then let Li Zexuan be the second commander of the Department of Shipping, responsible for the formulation of specific systems. In Li Er's opinion, this is the most perfect staffing.

"Uh, your Majesty, the ministers are deeply favored by the state. As long as the court needs them, even if they go through fires and waters, they will do their part. The ministers definitely cannot do things like this before they have done it.. ...."

Li Zexuan said "righteously".

Li Er sneered and said: "You kid don't want to be cheap and behave, and then you will grind and chirp, don't blame me for being polite!"

"Your Majesty, the minister wants a few mines!"

Li Zexuan shouted as soon as Li Er's voice fell.

"Mine? Your kid wants iron ore?"

Li Er's face suddenly became serious. For the feudal emperor, iron ore was a very sensitive thing.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong of Qi State put forward the policy of "salt and iron monopoly" in the theory of "Guanshanhai", which enabled Qi to get rich quickly and became the first hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, although Guan Zhongbei was respected by later generations, in the hundreds of years after his death, except for Shang Yang, who was determined to reform, few people followed his strategy of strengthening the country.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the central government became empty due to successive years of conquests against the Xiongnu, and the wealthy private businessmen "smelted and boiled salt and made money or accumulated tens of thousands of gold, and did not follow the urgent needs of the public and the hardship of the people." The extreme importance of salt to the country's taxation gave birth to the "salt-iron monopoly" policy that has been implemented intermittently in Chinese history for more than two thousand years.

The so-called "salt iron franchise" means that all the operating rights of iron smelting and boiling salt shall be transferred to the central government, but it should be noted that the "salt iron franchise" rather than the "salt iron official operation". As far as the iron smelting industry is concerned, The implementation is state-owned and private. The state generally implements a monopoly policy for all mine resources. As soon as the private people discover mineral seedlings, they must be protected and sealed up by the state.

After that, the ruler controlled the pricing power of ironware and unified the purchase and sale of the ironware produced. Under these premises, the imperial court opened up iron smelting workshops and allowed private merchants to operate independently. The value-added portion of the business was 70% for civilians and 30% for the ruler, which is equivalent to a 30% income tax.

However, due to the unavoidable shortcomings of the bureaucracy, there are also some serious problems in the Yantie Official Camp. In order to complete the required tasks, the official ironware only pays attention to the output, and the ironware produced is mostly large agricultural tools with few applications, which is not suitable for farmers to use. Not only that, but government-owned ironware also has problems such as high cost, low quality, no selection, inconvenience to purchase, forced buying and selling, and forcing farmers to serve. More importantly, the price of government-run salt and iron is expensive ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ many poor people simply cannot afford it.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rulers cancelled the salt and iron monopoly policy and implemented a taxation system. The Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty paid attention to exclusive purchases, and the taxation system revived during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. From the Sui Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, the special tax on salt and iron was abolished, and the market tax was collected like other commodities. After the Tang Anshi Rebellion, financial difficulties, the monopoly of salt and iron began to be implemented.

Since then, the salt monopoly has been strengthened in successive dynasties, and a taxation system has been implemented on iron, which is no longer treated in the same way as salt. The monopoly of salt and iron made the feudal countries obtain considerable benefits, especially salt, which has always been the most important monopoly product firmly grasped by the feudal governments of the past dynasties, and its income is an important financial source of the governments of the past dynasties.

"Uh, the minister wants not only iron ore, but also a few sulphur ore, I hope your majesty will grant you permission!"

Seeing Li Er's expression suddenly serious, Li Zexuan's heart suddenly rose with a bad feeling, but he still bite the bullet and said.

When he was in the workshop earlier, he took it for granted that as long as he found the iron ore based on the memory in his mind, he would own it. Later, when he went back and talked to his father, he knew that his drawing was broken in Tucson. There is such a good opportunity to talk about conditions with Li Er. If you don't talk about it, you are simply sorry for yourself!
