"I heard Wang Lian's tone, is he trying to monitor the implementation of the renting and mediocre regulation method? But what can he do? Does he still understand 'macro control'?"

When Li Su heard Wang Lian's words say with confidence that several regulatory provisions should be formulated to reduce the loss of private implementation of the renting and mediocre law, he was quite curious because he himself could not think of what Wang Lian would say.

Li Su subconsciously glanced at Liu Ba, and Liu Ba also looked serious. Li Su generously asked Wang Lian to show off: "Let me say it."

Wang Lian bowed and then turned to Liu Bei to continue to explain: "The king, based on what I saw in Guanghan and my understanding of the people's sentiments and feelings, I believe that once the free exchange of rent and mediocre relocation law is implemented, it may lead to wealthy places such as Shu County, and instead buy grain from Guanghan County, which is short of food. Then the people of Shu County grow mulberry trees themselves, and use some of the surplus grains from Guanghan to meet the daily dietary needs of the military and civilians in Shu County.

Because the Right General also said that Shu County has the benefits of Dujiangyan, and in the future there are even the benefits of Leshanyan. There are many lands suitable for planting mulberry trees and many silk-reeling water trucks. The income of the people in Shu who work hard to weave brocades has exceeded the income from farming, and the number of people who farm will definitely decrease - this is undoubtedly certain, because when Emperor Wu of Han used the method of equal average yield of Sang Hongyang, similar precedents occurred.

The king's plan for the Northern Expedition was always to "recover Chang'an and return to the old capital". In the years he entered Shu, he had to let the southern grain and fodder support the Northern Expedition as much as possible. The Shu road was difficult, and every stone of grain had to be transported to the north, which was originally three times the loss. In recent years, water transportation has been greatly reduced to twice the loss. If the people transported grain in reverse and transported grain in the north and the south, wouldn't it go against the country's plan for recovery?

Therefore, I suggest that even if you allow renting and mediocre transfers to choose freely, you must set up tax cards in the key mountain roads in Zitong, Guanghan and other places. In Jiangzhou, Dianjiang, Langzhong and other counties along the Yangtze River and Jialing River, water patrol soldiers and tax officials should also be set up to strictly investigate the transportation of grain in the north and the south.

Mianzhu Road, Jiangyou Road, Jiange Road, Mamingge Road, and Jinniu Road all are allowed to go south and north, and are allowed to leave and not enter. Along the Yangtze River, Lushui, Minjiang River, Luoshui, and Fu River, only grain ships are allowed to go down the river, and only empty ships or carry other money and goods against the current. After summarizing it to Jiangzhou, only grain ships are allowed to go upstream and not transport grain along the current. Jiangzhou goes back to Yong'an and goes out of the Three Gorges to Jingzhou, there is no restriction."

Every time Wang Lian said something, Li Su's expression became more serious. Liu Bei and Liu Ba also felt that this was indeed a good way to curb private speculation and waste production of ineffective transportation.

Li Su felt a little ashamed because his historical achievements were not very good. Later generations only read the Three Kingdoms, but did not read the "Book of Han" in full.

"Han Shu" has been written for a hundred years, and officials with ability and culture have basically read and summarized it. Even Zhuge Liang, a disciple of Li Su, read "Han Shu" in full when he was only twelve years old two years ago. Li Su, a ignorant guy, has only been read in excerpts.

After listening to Wang Lian's narration, he had a more comprehensive understanding of the "equal average loss" method used by Sang Hongyang during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han and his historical shortcomings.

Three hundred years ago, when Sang Hongyang was a Grand Secretary, although he did not rent and serve mediocre people, relying solely on the temporary measures of transportation alone also allowed the people of all prefectures and counties to "wreck farmers in low grains and in times of difficulty in raising copper coins to pay taxes, they changed to the local specialties according to the current price of local specialties, and replaced the tax on local specialties. The average export official sent by Grand Secretary farmers to conduct official and business, and sold these local specialties to areas with high prices for exchange and handed over to the court."

In other words, Sang Hongyang was a state-owned trading company that personally made a profit of the national price difference. On the one hand, he also gave some profits to the people, so as not to be exploited by the brutal businessmen and to squeeze out the profit margins of private businessmen and nationalize them.

However, the "Book of Han" clearly describes the drawbacks of this: after a few years of doing this, in order to make money faster, the emperor and the court often forcibly allocate local specialties for the sake of political achievements, and finally "the officials who lose money directly hoard the goods, and there is no middlemen to make a difference." After destroying the unscrupulous businessman, he became the unscrupulous businessman himself.

Wang Lian's story is obviously more detailed than "Book of Han". Later, he also compared various possible counterattacks of profiteers and the government's own corruption... Because the length is too long, I won't go into details. Otherwise, it would be a big paper from human nature to economics, which can be as good as tens of thousands of words.

In short, as Li Su listened, he found that he had gained some knowledge about the development of history: it turned out that when Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty, he only used the method of equal loss to slightly modify the ancient method. Wang Anshi initially thought about eliminating the disadvantage of "the person who loses equally killed the profiteer and became a profiteer", but in the end he was caught and criticized for "competing for profit with the people", and fell into the "rule-block effect" mentioned by Professor Qin Hui of Tsinghua University.

There are people who are seeking profits, and this is impossible to completely control it. Li Su can only be cautious and dare not say that it will be completely cured.

It is estimated that in the past few years after the new law was implemented, officials and profiteers had no experience and could not find loopholes. There would be fewer people who would break the money by bugs. It would be hard to say in five or ten years.

Li Su could only expect Zhuge Liang to grow up and solve the problem with Zhuge Liang's rare rule of law and honest administration that he had in history.

Liu Bei was in the throne and listened to Wang Lian, Li Su and Liu Ba repeatedly refuted. He was even more confused when he studied less. After all, Liu Bei could no longer understand many air-to-air deductions.

He could only wait for the three of them to finish chatting and asked Li Su seriously: "Boya, Wang Lianzhi's proposal, what do you think?"

Li Sucheng admitted: "I think this discussion is feasible, and it is indeed a theory of planning for the country. From the date of implementation of the new law, tax cards should be set up in Jiangzhou, Zitong and other places to strictly investigate the return of grain in northern China.

However, Wang Lian's proposal is only a special case for a while and a place. Time cannot be a permanent law. After the success of the Northern Expedition, it will have to be re-evaluated within a few years. Geographically, it also combined with the geographical environment of Shu, transportation difficulties, and cannot be promoted outside Yizhou. From the current tax card location, it has no impact on the Jingzhou area under Zhao Yun's rule. Therefore, it should not be written into the code as a provision, but can only be used as a temporary Wang Gong."

The meaning of Li Su's words is like drawing on the consistent things when Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty were written into the "Da Ming Law" and the temporary judicial interpretation was written into the emperor's "Da Gao". Liu Bei is now just taking over the King of Hanzhong, so he wrote them into the King of Hanzhong.

Law is law, and judicial interpretation is judicial interpretation.

Liu Bei looked at Wang Lian, and Wang Lian quickly admitted: "The right general has decided that a hundred years of law, and a supplement to my ministers, and a temporary discussion."

Liu Bei finally made the decision: "Since this is the case, I will write Wang Lian's proposal into Wang Gao, and the original text of the "Rent and Ordinary Measures" will not be changed. Next."

After Wang Lian, some people jumped out to discuss, but they were not combat-capable. Li Su also refuted them one by one, or absorbed a little bit of it.

The entire legal discussion meeting lasted for a whole day, and Liu Bei also invited everyone to have lunch. Finally, he finally took out the tax law that everyone thought was fine.

...

"Damn it turns out that holding a legislative meeting is so tiring. I thought that those who held meetings were all traveling to Beijing, and I would never dare to underestimate them again."

After the legislation was over, when he left the Hanzhong King's Palace, Li Su felt that his bones were almost exhausted. Fortunately, he had been relaxing for a long time in the past ten days, and occasionally he could withstand such high-intensity mental labor one day.

Don’t underestimate his brain use. This is not just a simple way to build overtime, but also depends on the intensity of his brain. Other people who give opinions can only use their brains when they speak and debate, and they can rest when other people propose.

Li Su and Liu Ba were beaten up by representatives of various opinions all day long, and they had no stops in their high-intensity confrontation for four or five hours. When they finished, they had temporary neurasthenia.

However, what surprised Li Su was that as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, today's old partner Liu Ba actually called him, saying that he had something to say in private.

Li Su was a little impatient: "Brother Zichu, can you not say some things tomorrow? If it is about the article, why didn't you say it just now?"

Liu Ba was serious and serious: "Some words are inconvenient to say. After hearing so many of their opinions today, the Right General did not think that we should not only modify the terms and add Wang Gao to plug the leak, but also prepare for material dispatch?

So many local officials and gentry representatives mentioned that the new law allows one to choose tax payments and grain, which may cause the stockpiling of profiteers among the people. This is not only their concern, but also the hope of a small group of them. Among them, there are profiteers, or their families, tribe members, and disciples are profiteers."

Li Su rubbed her temples: "So what? Yang Hong and Wang Lian's kind suggestions have helped us plug the leak."

Liu Ba: "Putting leaks is also blocking normal hoarding, but the strength is not enough, so it may not be blocked. The powerful family members who are interested in reading the new jokes deliberately hoarding and smearing at any cost.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. Maybe it's because of today's meeting. They saw that we can block normal and rational hoarding. But they don't want to give up the opportunity of taking advantage of the opportunity of low grain and hurting farmers in the future to exploit the long-term interests of the people. Therefore, this year, they have increased their efforts to lose a lot of money and mess up the people, giving the king eye drops so that the king can see the unreliability of the new law."

Li Su raised his hand: "Stop, stop, stop, I'm already tired. Tell me, for example, what will they do?"

Liu Ba: "For example, the prodigal merchants in Yizhou secretly united and absorbed and hoarded Shu brocade at a high price in advance before the tax payment season. They even bought the Shu brocade that the people had originally planned to save until the tax payment in September two months in advance.

When the people pay taxes, they will not be able to weave enough tax-paying brocade within one or two months, and then go to the market to buy it, but the unscrupulous merchants are holding back and not giving up the goods. Isn’t what the people see? Instead, the new law has harmed their illusion? In this way, the people may be motivated."

Li Su: "How is it possible? You have to pay money when buying broth. If the people have money in their hands, wouldn't it be better to just use money to pay taxes? Didn't it mean to exchange freely?"

Liu Ba was anxious: "Listen to me! If the powerful people in Shu were united for this purpose, they would choose to sell grain at a low price before the autumn harvest! If the price of grain is indeed very low and the people are used to weaving brocades, they will definitely be tempted to choose to buy more grain this year, and spend less energy on farming next year, and choose to go to weaving households to help weaving brocades.'

In this way, when taxes were collected in early September, the market was full of money, and brocade was extremely scarce, with abnormally high prices, and grain was fully supplied, and low grain was hurting farmers more cheaply than usual. In the end, the people found that there were more grain storage and they had to exchange grain for tax money, wouldn’t they be exploited even more?

The renting and mediocre method allows the use of brocade, money to replace grain, and also allows the use of brocade money to replace grain, but there is no limit on the use of grain. The collection of grain is restricted by the scale of the construction of the imperial warehouse. Compared with money and gold, grain occupies too much space. The granary is not enough and cannot be stored in huge amounts. Temporary granaries are not built in various places so quickly."

Fortunately, Liu Ba didn't know the word "demolition". If Li Su said this, he would definitely not be able to help but appear in his mind when he heard this.

After all, there were strange events in later generations where crude oil stocks were inflated, and oil tankers around the world could not save, and the decline was negative.

If the promiscuous merchants in Shu really do this, they may not be able to make money, but may lose money, so they have such great destructive power.

Liu Ba is assuming that these people "in order to always retain the long-term interests of lowering the grain purchase price in the autumn harvest season in the future", they will choose to hoard money at a loss this year and be disgusted with the new law.

They sold grain, money, and brocade all in the cellars of the landlords and wealthy people.

Are all the powerful and wealthy families in Shu so united?

If someone turns against each other and wants to take the opportunity to make a profit, and the alliance breaks down, wouldn’t this kind of big bet be lost in vain?

The most important thing is that Li Su doesn't think they have that much capital to hoard.

Why did Liu Ba have such delusion of suffering?

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility. He smiled strangely and asked Liu Ba: "Brother Zichu, do you think the so-called powerful and wealthy families in Shu that hate the new law, all the stored grains hidden in their cellars are enough to buy all the brocade on the market and absorb most of the Wuzhu coins on the market?"

Liu Ba: "Don't underestimate the ability of wealthy families in Yizhou to store grain. Shu County is rich, and the wealthy people among the people have enough food to eat for many years... Moreover, what you call the new giant Shu brocade five feet wide, I think the production capacity is not high so far, right? I haven't seen much sold in Chengdu in the past few months.

Before the tax law was enacted, I had conducted a detailed investigation. I think the new looms on the market are only 10,000,000, and there are no new brocades made of quilts, and only tens of thousands of pieces. At this scale, if the powerful families in Shu unite to release grain and stock up, they may buy them all and store them in the cellar until the end of the tax season. They will hold them until the end of the year."

Li Su finally smiled relaxedly. He knew where Liu Ba’s worries came from.

And the famous scholars who are under the undercurrent and openly persuaded that "the new law will compete with the people for profit and exploit the people" but may actually release grain and store brocade, where does their confidence come from?

There was no big data at the end of the Han Dynasty! Everyone seriously underestimated the output of new looms and the stock of new Shu brocade, so they felt that their food was enough to buy all Shu brocade!

People like Yang Hong would not have such an illusion because he knew that there were two thousand looms in the Yang family. But because there was no industry statistics, even Yang Hong didn’t know how many looms there were in the Zhen family, the Li family, the Zhuge family, and how many looms there were in Liu Guanzhang’s relatives.

Outsiders are all facing the fog of war and do not open the "map full" plug-in.

They had to make a rough estimate based on how many Shu brocades were sold on the market.

The reason why this number is seriously underestimated is that Li Su drew 35,000 huge Shu brocade last year, equivalent to more than 100,000 traditional narrow brocades, and asked Sun Jian to buy Changsha County!

This transaction was conducted secretly, and only Liu Bei, Li Su, Xun You and others know the actual transaction content with Sun Jian.

This led to the fact that the achievements of developing the Shujin industry over the past year have not been circulated in the Yizhou market until the end of last year. The rapists in Shijiahao reversed production capacity based on the market circulation, which caused serious underestimation!

Even Liu Ba felt that "the current annual output of huge Shu brocades may be only 30,000 to 40,000 by the autumn harvest season, and more than 10,000 machines are equivalent to less than 300 million yuan." Of course, Liu Ba had to worry about being bought and torpedoed.

But if Li Su told him that there were 16,000 machines more than half a year ago, and this year it exceeded 20,000 during the Chinese New Year, and 40,000 units could be reached by the end of the year. As of September, the accumulated tax on the brocades produced can be more than 100,000 pieces, with a total output value of 1 billion yuan. Does Liu Ba still have to worry about the profiteers in Shu having such a large capital market?

However, Liu Ba's concern gave Li Su an inspiration: It seems that to slow down the shipment of new Shu brocade in Shu, it would rather hold it in for two months to show the enemy as a weak person, so that those profiteers feel that they have hope of winning "I can take this sell-off" and thus take over at a high price.

After they took the bait, Li Su released a huge amount of selling orders in the last one or two months before the autumn tax was levied.

Let’s see if those guys who want to raise money, Jin, and lower the price of grain have so many grains to take over.

Li Su believed that even if he took out all the landlords and old wealth stored in Shu County, Guanghan and Jianwei, he would not be able to take over the billion-dollar Shu brocade dump.

The best way to deal with lucrative businessmen is to open up the supply and let them see the terrifying industrial production capacity.

"The Han Dynasty was so simple. They actually thought that they could buy all the things produced in industrialized mass-produced? They could also hype them up? Do you think it was a graphics card in the mine disaster, and an electronic product that should have depreciated can become a financial product."

Li Su's monologue was fiercely inside.

Liu Ba didn't know Li Su's inner activities. He just saw that he pointed out a danger. The right general's expression was gloomy and sunny. Finally, he became proud and almost thought that Li Su was crazy.

"Why did the Right General laugh?"

Liu Ba's mentality was just like Xu Huang who heard Cao Cao laughing during Huarong Road, and he felt scared, fearing that his teammates' complacent would attract some stronger enemies.

"Haha, nothing, Zichu, this is not something you should know. As long as you know, the king and I have a way to deal with these profiteers." Li Su stopped his smile and did not intend to tell Liu Ba the whereabouts of the 35,000 huge brocades.
