When so many people compete together, everything is harmonious. As the circle shrinks, people become more and more anxious.
Tongtong found that Si Ye also started to become anxious and couldn't sleep night after night.
What's going on here?
It's still very cold at night in early spring. If you keep fussing like this, you'll catch a cold.
Tongtong sat up and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, just tell me! Why are you still struggling?"
You're not obsessed with that position, so is there any reason why you can't sleep?
Si Ye simply sat up and leaned on the quilt, lit the lamp on the kang table, and then looked at Tongtong, "You said... can the Qing Dynasty survive in this world for tens of millions of years?"
It couldn't be done back then! If you look through the history books, you will know that no dynasty has ever lasted in this world for tens of thousands of years.
Si Ye nodded, "...then have you ever thought about a question..."
Well! You say.
"There are so many factories now, and there will be more factories later..." Siye looked at Tongtong, "These people working in the factories will slowly become a huge group, a group that will cause chaos in the world if it stops.
…”
Tongtong was speechless, wondering what he meant by this.
Si Ye simply got off the kang with his clothes on, and walked around in circles in the room. After a long while, he stopped again and said, "The proportion of the imperial court's taxes coming from the fields is decreasing. You understand that this is
What do you mean?"
Go to Baidu and search vinegar-liu-er-literature-xue. First published
Tongtong's mind was spinning fast, "This means that the way of self-sufficiency, with one household as the main body, has been changing..."
right!
Tongtong understood a little bit, "Does this mean that there is a group holding a lot of wealth?"
Yes! That’s right, that’s it! This is the other side that drives its development. This group has mastered a large amount of wealth, but what happens next?
Tongtong said: "It looks like the Donglin Party of the pre-Ming Dynasty."
Yes! The Donglin Party can be said to be a good medicine at that time, but it can also be said to be a 'cancer' at that time.
But no matter which evaluation it is, the Donglin Party is located in Jiangnan, and it is indispensable for financial support. Therefore, the Donglin Party represents the interests of the wealthy businessmen and powerful people in Jiangnan as well as the scholars of Jiangnan at that time.
Once you become a group, they will all have demands. Either you meet their demands, or you make trouble for them to achieve their goals.
Taking history as a guide, a group of people who have already taken shape and have mastered so much wealth, what demands will they have?
Everyone will have demands. This is determined by human nature and cannot be changed.
So, where is this balance point?
Si Ye said: "It can be seen that it is not enough to unilaterally promote changes in certain aspects. If the upper levels do not make adjustments, some of the demands of the lower levels will not be met, or the upward channels will not be opened, and the squeeze will last for a long time.
There must be violent storms, the people are strong and rich, but the country is in turmoil..."
Tongtong was speechless. This is a dead end. If you don’t ask for change, if others change, we will be dead. The door will have to be broken open from the outside. But if you change, there will be fusion inside. If you can’t understand in advance,
I can’t tell who died. “What did I think?”
Siye looked at Tongtong, "It is risky for the royal family to choose a successor. There are outstanding people from generation to generation. That is just a dream."
so what?
Si Ye sat on the edge of the Kang, his voice was very low, "So, I think, just put the power of the king on the throne..."
What?
Tongtong thought she heard wrong. He said that putting the monarch's power on the throne - that's it! That's it - what does this mean? There has always been only centralized monarchy, how can it be said that it can be placed on the throne?
Woolen cloth?
If you dare to say that, your royal family will kill you.
Si Ye didn't know this, so he didn't dare to say it! Now he got on the kang and squeezed into the bed to keep warm, "This is something that our generation may not be able to do..."
Tongtong understood, "You want Honghui and Hongxian to do it?"
Siye nodded, "This matter requires the cooperation of two people."
Tongtong turned her face and looked at Si Ye, "If that's the case, then that person above is the fourth child or we are all the same." Because Si Ye's goal is different from what most people think. If he wants to peacefully complete his idea,
It can only be accomplished by two people who can trust each other, support each other, and have outstanding abilities.
Siye looked at Tongtong, "Don't you think I'm crazy?"
No! I think what you said is very reasonable. Instead of being kicked down one day, it is better to stand on a high place. How you fight below has nothing to do with me. As long as you respect me. But this transition is very difficult.
Yes, it is also a very slow process of change.
Tongtong sighed and said to him: "You are not afraid of burdening the two children by giving such a big problem." Siye breathed a sigh of relief: "I know this method may not be the best method, but other than this method, I
I can't think of a way to make a safe transition. Now I can only think that this method can at least solve the dilemma we will face in a hundred years. But I don't know what will happen in the future! That is a matter for future generations.
, we can’t control it anymore.”
Tongtong sat with Ku for a while, then she lay down and covered herself with the quilt: "Let the children think about the future, go to sleep!" I don't want to worry about future generations! Who is like you?
It seems that I am thinking about it day by day in my mind, are you tired?
Don’t be tired! You have to think about this move in advance because it involves the child’s education. How to guide the child to move forward is what he has to do.
Tongtong suddenly asked: "Have you told the fourth child about this?"
No! It can’t be said! It doesn’t make sense. Not only the fourth brother, but also these brothers didn’t tell anyone, let alone dared to say it, and none of them could make sense! Tongtong snorted, “It’s not that you don’t want to do it yourself.
, because no one is cooperating with you!" You are also afraid that you brothers will beat you to death if you show any intention.
Si Ye: "..." Yes! You are right in what you think. Therefore, it is better to ask your sons to do such a rebellious thing.
After a long time, Tongtong said, "I will work hard to take care of the two children's bodies..."
what?
"We have to ask them to take more beatings and live longer." Otherwise? What if it's such a big deal! The two children also have uncles who are younger than them, so they feel that they are at risk of being beaten as long as they live.
This matter was mentioned in the middle of the night. After saying it, Tongtong stopped thinking about it, but she really had no curiosity at all about who was sitting on that seat. She still asked people to get chickens and ducklings, and kept them in a fixed place.
In the place where she lived, the pig raising was handed over to a special person to take care of it. She also worked hard on the chickens and ducks, and even took Hongxu with her, so Hongxu was asked to do all the things recorded.
Hongxu asked, "Should there be a veterinary department in the medical college?"
Tongtong was stunned for a moment, "Go and tell your Ama that I am only responsible for raising chickens and ducks, and I will ask your Ama for outside matters. By the way, you can also try to write a booklet and ask your Ama to hand it over to you."
.”
Hongxu was stunned for a moment, "Is it okay?"
Yes! Why not? In fact, you can all be more active, and in the future... you don’t need to stand out, you can all have your own position. Even if you reach seventy and want to jump out and compete for some position,
In fact, it’s not a bad idea. It’s okay, let’s jump!
Your Ama's idea, in the short term, there is a risk of being beaten to death by your uncles. But by your generation, or even your next generation, it should be more popular.
Of course, the emperor really didn’t know what evil tricks his sixth son was harboring in his heart. Seeing his two sons doing well, it made the emperor worried. He looked at his left hand and then his right hand.
I really don’t want to give up on anyone.
After flipping through the papers sent by the Ministry of Revenue, the emperor called the princes and six cabinet ministers, and mentioned one thing in a consultative tone: never add any more gifts.
Any new population that is generated does not need to be taxed.
Master Jiu thought he heard wrongly, "...You won't be adding any gifts in the future?"
Yes!
"It's the same throughout the Qing Dynasty, no land tax anymore?"
OK!
Lao Jiu's eyes widened, "Huang Ama, are you an old fool? Never add a gift? How did you come up with it?"
The emperor looked at his sons: "You think it's not possible?"
No one spoke, some were looking at the fourth child, and some were looking at the sixth child. You never add gifts, and you didn’t intend to trick us like this, so we didn’t talk to you.
The fourth child still had the same expression and didn't even move his brows. The emperor never increases his gifts. In fact, the big landowners benefit the most. Whoever has more land will make more profits. This is actually a kind of appeasement, because factories everywhere
At the beginning, many tenant farmers would rather work than farm. Because working can basically guarantee the harvest despite droughts and floods, but farming is not necessarily the case. Without tenants, big landowners will certainly suffer losses, so the emperor will never increase taxes.
Nowadays, it is actually a kind of comfort.
But if taxes cannot be raised, taxes will have to be increased elsewhere, such as commercial taxes.
However, taxes have been increased. If the profits of businesses cannot be guaranteed, how will they be maintained in the future?
This matter immediately became a knot.
So, he looked at Lao Liu and had to think of another way to ensure the interests of the merchants.
Si Ye looked directly at Lao Jiu, "If you can't give it inside, then go out." He said, "If someone offers money, then the court is willing to send people to send warships... The court will take six of the profits, and the investors will take four.
What do you think someone did?”
Lao Jiu looked at Lao Liu in shock, "What do you mean?"
Si Ye means: "If you can afford the money, then we will send people out and find a place for you to come down. This place is your fief, and you have to pay enough taxes every year, and the rest will not be under the control of the court."
Already."
As soon as these words came out, no one said anything for a long time.
Lao Jiu kept pointing his finger at his nose, "Are you saying that anyone can contribute money?"
Siye looked at him with an expression like "Are you stupid?" Businessmen don't have many channels, but people from a distinguished background can gather businesses together, as long as they are willing to invest. Businesses make money, and you make money. Do you need to make this clear?
?
One makes money and the other makes money, why didn’t I think of it! That’s right! That’s right! It can be like this!
Lao Jiu laughed out loud immediately, and then looked at the emperor eagerly, "Emperor Ama, my son thinks this is okay!"
The emperor looked at Lao Liu with a complicated look on his face: You must know that being belligerent is definitely not an advantage in the eyes of many people!
What a headache! This is due to the weakness of Lao Liusheng. If it were his wife's ability, she would not dare to think about it...
