As early as August last year, Liu Che was already preparing for today.√∟,
Last fall, Liu Che and Zhou Yafu discussed using a progressive tax system to deal with merchants.
Liu Che already knew from Zhou Yafu's reaction that if he played like this, the princes might not care, but the scholar-bureaucrats would definitely fight Liu Che to the death.
The reason is very simple. Farming, reading and passing down family traditions are the foundation for scholar-bureaucrats to live and build their lives.
Now, the emperor actually extended his claws to the foundation of his own survival and inheritance for future generations.
Even if the scholar-bureaucrats were as timid as mice, there was no way out at this time.
He dared to take down the emperor even if he was killed.
Why was Wang Mang so tragic in history?
It’s not just that Wang Mang actually wants to restrict land annexation and control slave ownership!
This is simply treason!
Therefore, it was natural for Liu Xiu to comply with destiny and revive the Han Dynasty.
The demise of the Sui Dynasty may not have been without the help of some Shandong aristocratic families.
Liu Che knew this very well. He knew how sensitive this issue was.
If you are not careful, it is very likely to cause a conflict between the imperial power and the scholar-bureaucrats.
Of course, the scholar-bureaucrats were not as powerful as the emperor, and they were even more powerful than Liu Che, who now had countless problems with him. However, they had many ways to make the emperor feel disgusted, and even more, they had ways to disrupt and hinder him.
As for deliberately intensifying social conflicts, triggering ethnic antagonisms, sowing dissension, adding fuel to the flames, and adding fuel to the fire, the scholar-bureaucrats have already fully utilized these skills.
Therefore, for a long time, Liu Che had been careful to avoid stimulating the scholar-bureaucrats too much at once. Like boiling a frog in warm water, he slowly promoted his private goods.
Overall, the sales situation is pretty good.
After all, the emperor himself acted as a salesman. Whether he wanted to get promoted and make a fortune, or he wanted to realize his life ambitions.
The emperor's stance and attitude are extremely crucial.
Therefore, in today's political arena of the Han Dynasty, the official who is not only holding a copy of "Hong Fan", but also talking about the Eight Policies of Hong Fan.
Because Liu Che likes Li Kui's method of doing things that uses data to speak and is supported by actual situations.
There are more and more data in the official documents submitted to the Shangshu Desk by the various bureaus of Jiuqing. However, the gorgeous rhetoric gradually disappears.
This means that what goes up is good and what goes down is effective.
At that time, the King of Chu had a slim waist, and many people died of starvation in the palace.
Now the Emperor of the Han Dynasty loves mathematics, and the betrothal gift of a scholar who is proficient in mathematics has increased tenfold within three years.
In the past, you could hire a teacher home with a few hundred dollars a year and a few pieces of meat.
Now, haha. If you don’t prepare dozens of strings to practice, no one will bother you.
The social status of craftsmen has been steadily improving, and Liu Che is planning to add a few more Dr. Lu Ban to Taichang...
But these are not enough.
Looking at the ministers in the palace who looked like cats whose tails were stepped on, Liu Che shook his head.
After all, it’s still a matter of vision and knowledge.
Thinking like this, Liu Che waved his hand, stood up and said: "I understand what you have discussed!"
I looked at the two groups of people who had been buried in the pit.
Liu Che showed a bright smile.
"When I knew that the progressive tax system would definitely step on your pain and bottom line, I was already thinking about how to sell this thing at a good price..." Liu Che felt happy in his heart.
As a qualified ruler, you must learn to make choices.
Since the resistance to a certain policy is very strong and may even affect the stability of the regime, it can be put aside for the time being.
Anyway, the days ahead are long and there is a lot of time, so it’s okay to take this thing out to brush your face first.
In this way, when the matter is brought up again in the future, it won't seem too abrupt.
"I have heard the law, so I prohibit violence and lead good deeds. The righteousness of the law makes the people jealous. Nowadays, the people of Jia are prosperous. Their rich and powerful people have tens of millions of wealth, and the rich have thousands of slaves. They travel like princes!" Although it has already happened!
He decided to give up the progressive tax system, but Liu Che didn't mind at all and used this matter to scare people: "If we can't impose heavy taxes on other people, how can we live up to our ethics?"
As soon as the ministers heard this, their thoughts inevitably followed Liu Che's question.
Yes, if we can't curb the activities of these big businessmen, let them show off their wealth every day, and ruin the simple folk customs, what should we do?
Now that the people have gone into business, who will farm the land?
The ministers suddenly felt that Alexander.
"Since Your Majesty is worried about the big businessmen of this generation, who are committing lawlessness and corrupting the general order, why not issue an edict to relocate all the local businessmen with a household income of more than five million, as well as the tycoons with a household income of more than ten million, to all the counties and counties in the world?
One is to strengthen the country, and the other is to get rid of hidden worries!" Tingwei Zhao Yu almost didn't think much, and said murderously: "If your majesty is worried about local unscrupulous merchants and collude with local officials, I would like to request an order.
Supervise this matter and ensure that no fish slips through the net!"
When the other ministers heard this, they all praised it and thought this was the best way to handle it.
Since the emperor is worried about these big businessmen committing illegal acts in the local area, then, it is simple, just arrest them in Guanzhong.
It just so happened that the Han Dynasty had not taken a serious attitude to clean up a wave of local powerful people for more than ten years.
The local sheep are almost fattened and ready for cutting.
As for the powerful landowners who were accidentally injured by AOE, I have no choice but to apologize. Who told you not to come to pay homage to the pier and recognize the mountain gate earlier?
Anyway, a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.
As long as it does not harm our interests, then the emperor can play whatever he wants!
"Beautiful!" Liu Che also snapped his fingers in his heart: "I knew you would definitely choose this!"
Liu Che had the idea of capturing all the big merchants in the world to Maoling a long time ago.
By doing this, first of all, you can sell the real estate in Maoling at a good price, and try out BC's real estate money-making plan. Anyway, you will definitely make some money, it just depends on how much you make.
Secondly, the arrival of these wealthy businessmen will further improve the quality of the people in Guanzhong. They can bring a large amount of technology and a young population, which will be of great help to Liu Che's plan in the future.
Finally, with the arrival of these people, a large amount of wealth will inevitably gather together.
In this way, the basic conditions for the original banking industry can be met.
However, Liu Che could not make this request himself, or even secretly encourage others to make it.
Otherwise, all the resentment and anger of those who were forcibly relocated would be directed at Liu Che.
Moreover, it looks too ugly to do so.
Anyone in the world who is not blind can see that this is a robbery carried out by the emperor at open fire!
But on an occasion like today, in front of the powerful people and in full view of the public, the scholar-bureaucrats did not hesitate to betray the merchants for themselves.
In this way, no one can doubt Liu Che. (To be continued.)
