Liu Che spread out the map, and Taishi Ling Sima Tan Gongshen, who was waiting for the edict next to him, said: "Your Majesty, Jinguan does not refer to a single place. According to Han law, Hangu, Xiaoguan, Wuguan, Linjin Pass, etc. are all
Jinguan, the so-called Jin, is an important pass! Southeast Jinguan was established during the Spring and Autumn Period and is located in the Huai River. It controls the southeastern key points and controls Huaisi. It is commonly known as Guanzhou!"
Sima Tan pointed his finger at a red dot on the map in the Huaihe River and introduced this ancient strategic location to Liu Che: "In the Zuo Zhuan, it was recorded that in the nineteenth year of Duke Zhuang, the Ba people invaded Chu, and Chu Zi was defeated.
Jin, refers to this place!"
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao has unified the world. He has copied the passes in Guanzhou, set up a fleet of large ships, and inspected passing merchant ships. No one can enter or leave unless there is news. In the second year of Empress Lu, she issued the "Law of Jin" to strengthen the control of passing merchant ships.
To control the various passes, a captain was set up in Guanzhou with an annual income of tens of millions of yuan. In the 11th year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the annual income of Guanzhou was 30 million... In the twelfth year of Emperor Xiaowen, all passes were dismissed and no transfers were used.
, as it is now, Guanzhou is in ruins!"
Generally speaking, Sima Tan’s introduction is to explain the facts from an objective perspective.↗
Liu Che nodded after listening.
As an emperor, he naturally knew how strict the Han Dynasty's talisman transmission system was.
According to the provisions of Han law, there are two types of transmission.
One is the official biography, which is issued by the county magistrate or county magistrate.
It is sealed with a bamboo tube, and the surname, name, place of origin, place of departure and destination of the bearer, and what he is going to do are recorded on it.
The other is a private certificate of identity, issued by local officials at the county level. This type of certificate is more stringent than the official certificate.
Not only is the holder's identity information and place of origin written on it, but the person's height and physical characteristics, as well as past criminal records are also recorded.
This is simply a BC version of a passport!
The holder of the pass, whether official or private, must stamp the customs talisman on his pass talisman every time he passes a pass. In addition, he must issue two copies of the inspection document.
Give one copy to the bearer and the other to the superior.
This document will become the certification document for the holder when passing the next pass.
In later Journey to the West, the story about Tang Sanzang covering customs and defense documents everywhere may have originated from this.
Therefore, if the time-travelers of later generations are not soul-transported, in ancient times, they must not run around. Otherwise, an illegal cross-traveler will most likely be regarded as a wanted criminal or an escaped slave by the government and be imprisoned in a small dark room.
…
However, it is not so strict all the time.
In the twelfth year of Liu Che's imperial grandfather, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the emperor abolished almost all the customs defenses with a wave of his hand.
This allowed people to trade freely, and the industry and commerce of the Han Dynasty flourished rapidly.
In just twenty years, big businessmen with unparalleled wealth have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Liu Che almost understood why even Zhou Yafu had to get involved in this matter.
Anyone else would not be able to help but get involved!
In China, wealthy businessmen have always been lambs to be slaughtered by the ruling class. Want to use money to control political power like the West? In China, this is completely impossible.
The army with guns in their hands, the nobles and royal families who are above them, any one of them can crush these businessmen to death with just a finger.
This time the military group jumped out, it was just a vanguard and a test.
Liu Che could imagine that in the future, more and more interest groups would jump out and take a big bite out of businessmen.
Even Liu Che himself, when he heard that in the eleventh year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's reign, a mere Guanzhou could collect 30 million yuan in toll taxes a year, he felt the urge to restore all the checkpoints immediately.
However, Liu Che endured it.
As a time traveler, Liu Che knows very well that setting up checkpoints widely can bring in a lot of tax revenue in the short term, but in the long term, it will undoubtedly kill the goose that lays the goose that lays the egg.
The development and expansion of industry and commerce require a relatively free and relaxed environment.
What is more needed is a broad circulation market.
It is conceivable that if the checkpoints during Taizong Xiaowen's period were restored, even more Jinguan would be opened.
The industry and commerce that are still booming now will decline in less than ten years. If we want to develop industry and commerce as strong as today, it may take twenty or even thirty years of hard work.
only……
Liu Che hesitated.
Businessmen are also seeking their own death!
Look what these guys have done in the past twenty years, right?
Almost all businessmen, after making money in the real world, are busy showing off their wealth, busy expanding, and busy exploiting workers and farmers more harshly. They have forced countless farmers to go bankrupt and caused countless problems.
These guys wielded money, and through means such as losing millet, donating titles, paying tribute, and calculating, they obtained the title and status that only military nobles had in the past.
Think about how the Chinese people in later generations hated those nouveau riche coal bosses, and you can understand how current public opinion views businessmen who suddenly got rich.
In particular, the entire mainstream public opinion is advocating for an era of 'agriculture-based'.
The businessmen simply dug their own graves and even prepared the coffins!
That’s not all!
Some businessmen, after becoming rich, began to challenge the ruler's patience.
For example, last year, there was a case of official grain reselling in Hedong County.
Involved in this was not only the unlucky Prince of Huainan, Liu An, but also the great businessman of Qi State, Tojian.
God knows that he is a loan shark businessman and gang leader, and he doesn't charge protection fees, so he comes to help in this death-seeking thing. Is it because he is impatient with his life or something?
All I can say is, if you don’t seek death, you won’t die!
No Chinese emperor would tolerate this kind of attempt by capital to enter the political field.
Liu Che will not tolerate it even more!
Because he knows very well what will happen when capital controls politics.
The fate of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Western capitalists of later generations, deeply taught Liu Che that if capital entangles politics, disaster will definitely occur.
Capital is only profit and has no motherland!
"Let them suffer a little first!" Liu Che thought to himself.
If these businessmen don't teach them a lesson, give them some color to show them, and make them sober up, then if they continue to indulge, maybe they will still think that this country belongs to them!
Liu Che then told Wang Dao: "Go and write back to the King of Jiangdu and tell him that regarding the shipyard craftsmen, I will issue an edict and order Qi, Jiaodong and Jiaoxi to allocate capable personnel. As for the matter of Jinguan and the national affairs, as a minister,
It’s better not to talk casually and tell King Jiangdu to stop interacting with Jiangdu’s businessmen!”
In this matter, it was obvious that Wu Chu's businessmen had successfully used money and beauty to impress the idiot Liu Yan and made him jump out to oppose it.
Liu Yan, this idiot, should pour cold water on him to wake him up!
