Gu Sansi looked at a few pages of paper for a full stick of incense, and when he put down the papers, he asked Ye Mingsheng very seriously:

"Sir, who gave you this idea?"

Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly when he heard this. He did not answer Gu Sansi's question, but asked:

"Any questions?"

In response to Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Gu Sansi shook his head and said:

"Sir, this is an unprecedented reform plan. This is the first time I have seen such a plan. My mind is a little confused now. I need to think carefully before I can give you an answer...

·”

Listening to Gu Sansi's answer, Ye Mingsheng nodded and said:

"It doesn't matter. You should think about it carefully when you go back. It's best to give me a reply within three days!"

"I understand, sir!" Gu Sansi nodded, then with a thoughtful expression, he said goodbye to Ye Mingsheng and left.

Looking at the back of Gu Sansi leaving, a faint smile appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face. Although Gu Sansi was extremely intelligent, he was a man from the feudal era after all, and his thinking was still subject to this era, so when he put forward this reform that transcended the limitations of the times,

When the plan was presented, his reaction was not surprising.

The first item of Ye Mingsheng's reform plan is to acquire Dadongsheng, one of the largest business houses in Liaoyang, and let the government control Dadongsheng to undertake all financial services in Liaoyang including bill exchange and other financial services, giving it special status and exclusive franchise, and then use Dadongsheng to

In the name of the company, one million taels of ten-year and twenty-year bonds were issued.

For this one million tael of bonds, Ye Mingsheng will try his best to get the Cui family, Gongsun family, Yun family and other squires to pay for it. Part of the money obtained by Ye Mingsheng will be used to improve Liaoyang's financial situation, prepare for war, etc.

Various related matters, and the bulk will be used to purchase most of the land in the hands of the three family-led rural gentry groups.

The purchased land will be regarded as state-owned land and will be leased to poor peasant tenants for a period of seventy or fifty years. In order to increase farmers' enthusiasm for farming, Ye Mingsheng plans to divide the original landowner's 19% and 28% share to the tenants.

, changed to a 50-50 split to strengthen the support of the peasant brothers for the Fengwu military regime...

If this move is successful, Ye Mingsheng will, to a certain extent, solve the social problems of the excessive gap between rich and poor and serious land annexation in Liaoyang while avoiding attacks on the three families and the gentry class and maintaining social stability, and alleviate the problems of the middle and lower classes.

Contrary to the class antagonism in the eyes of the gentry group, the gentry class headed by the three clans of Liaoyang were tied to the chariot of their own army.

After all, if the Fengwu Army loses the bonds in their hands that have emptied their wealth, they will naturally be invalidated. Even if it is to ensure the principal and income of the bonds in their hands, they will help the Fengwu Army enter the customs and conquer the world!

As for the second item, it is public-private partnership in people's livelihood and profit-making industries.

Ye Mingsheng originally planned to form a public-private partnership for important merchants in several key industries such as grain, salt, iron, and cloth, strengthen supervision of the industry, and severely crack down on unscrupulous businessmen who disregarded the safety and stability of the people, drove up prices, and hoarded goods.

.

However, after learning from Gu Sansi about the huge profits from products such as ginseng, deer antlers, and mink skins, Ye Mingsheng was also preparing to conduct a public-private partnership in this field, and collect these profits into the hands of the government, and use them to benefit the people.

·············

If Ye Mingsheng focuses on the present in the first two items, Ye Mingsheng's third reform focuses more on the future.

Ye Mingsheng is planning to set up schools for school-age children in the territory to provide free education. Nowadays, except for a few children from gentry and landlord families in Liaoyang, who can attend private schools, most children of farmers, workers, and handicrafts do not have the opportunity to receive education.

.

Except for a small number of lucky people who can change their own destiny, 99% of people can only do these jobs from generation to generation. There is no doubt that this is a kind of class solidification and is not conducive to the progress of society as a whole.

develop.

Although the reason why aristocratic families are powerful is that they own land and control most of society's means of production, Ye Mingsheng believes that the fundamental reason for the strength of aristocratic families is that they control the best educational resources of this era.

·············

With this kind of high-quality educational resources, the children of aristocratic families may not be very talented, but their talents and knowledge can still defeat 99% of people. And those children from poor families, in order to obtain these high-quality educational resources,

You must choose to rely on aristocratic families.

Over time, many people in the government have various relationships with aristocratic families, forming various communities of interests. Everyone shares weal and woe, and everyone prospers and loses!

If you want to change this situation and eliminate the social cancer of aristocratic families, you have to be like a failed scholar who is wearing golden armor all over the city and suddenly raise a butcher knife and kill them all.

Either we need to start from the foundation of education, so that most school-age children have access to education, and then screen and filter through examinations to allow truly talented people to have the opportunity to receive higher education, breaking down class barriers.

Barriers to ease social conflicts caused by class solidification

Among them, Ye Mingsheng still had another idea, that is, he hoped to change the concept of the times through his own efforts, so that people would gradually abandon the backward idea that all people are inferior and only have good education, and accept the concept that science and technology are the primary productive forces.

, only in this way in the future, the entire country and the entire nation will be more competitive in the cruel competition in the world forest...

Although Ye Mingsheng's idea is good, the reality is that Liaoyang's finances are not enough to fully realize his dream. However, Ye Mingsheng has already thought of a countermeasure, that is, how much power can be used to accomplish big things, and food must be eaten one bite at a time.

Take one step at a time.

First of all, if there are conditions for building schools in Liaoyang, build schools. If there are no conditions, you can make do by building a shed to protect yourself from wind and rain. It doesn't matter if the teachers are not good. Just do basic education first to ensure that every child is literate. After a period of study,

, select those with outstanding performance for further education.

For parents who are not enthusiastic, Ye Mingsheng has countermeasures. He is planning to launch a scholarship system and tax exemptions. If your children do well in school, they will not only earn money, but also allow you to pay less tax. This will definitely give you motivation, right?
