It will create a new era unprecedented in history!
Fang Xuanling has not yet realized the importance of commercial tax through the ages, but as a prime minister, he can see one thing very clearly - once commercial tax becomes the foundation of the empire's taxation, the impact of natural disasters on the empire's economy will be greatly reduced.
.
In a huge empire, who is the biggest enemy?
Not surrounded by powerful neighbors, not surrounded by wars and smoke, but natural disasters!
Flood or drought is a war for a country based on agriculture...
How many empires that were strong for a while were not defeated by powerful empires, but fell apart in the face of an unstoppable natural disaster? Without natural disasters, everyone can have enough to eat, and the empires built by the people on this land will be invincible!
Business tax...
Fang Xuanling was speechless for a moment and was shocked.
Fang Jun looked up at the bright spring light outside the window and said softly: "For thousands of years, the hard-working people of this land have been subject to too many imprisonments, so many that they have to work hard and shed blood and sweat, but they still remain the same.
They were squeezed like cattle and horses until the last bit of flesh and blood was squeezed out, with no way to survive... But those high-ranking rulers naturally enjoyed the rich blood and sweat from the squeeze, and still spurred the hard-working people, day after day,
Year after year, never ending..."
At this point, Fang Jun's voice gradually became louder, full of resentment and resistance: "Why? Just because they are born into the blood of a wealthy family, they are naturally superior to others? Because of the struggle of their ancestors, so they can read and write from birth?"
Seeing his father's silent face, Fang Jun's excitement calmed down slightly. He took a deep breath and said: "Land is the foundation of survival and the original sin. In history, all dynasties have repeated land distribution and concentration.
The process of monopoly and then redistribution. It is just that in this process, dynasties rise one by one, and the land is distributed to the people. Then when the land gradually concentrates in the hands of some people, the dynasties collapse one by one. What was created by the previous generation
A prosperous civilization often occurs when a dynasty rises and falls, disappearing into ashes and then starting over again.”
The sentences are sonorous and every word is precious!
Fang Xuanling was completely shocked by her son!
It shocked him so much that he was stunned and stunned!
He actually attributed the rise and fall of dynasties to the dispersion and concentration of land? Fang Xuanling swore that he, who thought he was familiar with history books and understood politics, had never considered the development and future of an empire from this perspective!
This is not to say that Fang Xuanling is inferior to Fang Jun, it can only be said that there is a gap in time.
Even if Fang Xuanling has read more than 10,000 books, how can he remember the truths he learned from it and the experience gained by Fang Jun directly grabbing countless successful people from the vast network? In other words, all the books in the world in this era have been added.
Together, it may not be as good as a website on the Internet...
This is a serious asymmetry of information.
What often seems to be a matter of course to Fang Jun, in this era, is shocking and shocking!
Fire, glass, shipbuilding, and printing are all worth mentioning. The huge gap in the amount of information captured is the real golden finger of the time traveler!
Standing on the shoulders of countless giants, pointing out the country and scolding Fang Qiu!
Fang Xuanling closed her eyes, fanned her beard slightly, and pondered her son's point of view with excitement. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that her son's words really made sense!
Why did the people rebel?
Any mention of leaving a name in history, getting promoted and getting rich, or beauties with gold and silver are all nonsense! Being able to have enough to eat and survive is the only motivation! As long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, as long as there is hope of living, there is no one
Ordinary people can be coerced into engaging in rebellion and beheadings!
After all, it’s all about the land!
Being able to have a piece of land of your own, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, filling your stomach with your own hard work and sweat, having children, and reproducing future generations. If this is satisfied, it will be a prosperous and prosperous era where the world will be peaceful, and vice versa.
, that is, the world is in turmoil and the dynasty is destroyed!
Fang Xuanling felt a sense of relief as she could see the sun through the clouds and suddenly have enlightenment!
There is a kind of ignorance, but I alone grasp the true meaning of heaven and earth suddenly!
It's such a simple truth...
His son not only saw this eternal chaos and the original sin of the dynasty coming back again and again, but he also proposed a solution!
Only by liberating the people from the shackles of the land and allowing the people to live with enough food even without land, who will rebel? On the contrary, since land is no longer the only means of production, those powerful landlords and powerful families will still
Is it the consequences of the desperate efforts of one generation to hoard land, which eventually led to a serious concentration of land, and the people had no land to save and had to rebel?
Business!
Developing commerce to a certain extent can naturally make up for the social problems caused by the lack of land. Similarly, the increasing profits from commerce can also allow the landlords to divert their attention from the land and invest in the field of commerce.
Come in.
Genius-like insights, genius-like ideas!
Fang Xuanling was so excited that his beard trembled. He patted Fang Jun on the shoulder and praised: "My unicorn..."
Being praised like this by his father, Fang Jun felt a chill and felt weak all over.
Just when he was about to speak, Fang Xuanling already asked: "But why is this deeper insight not explained in the memorial? Instead, it is just left to be explained, so that people cannot understand the mystery?"
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "What's the use of just talking with your mouth? How can those so-called gentry class, who control more and more land, easily believe in such remarks and opinions? Instead of saying it with your mouth, it's better to act it out
Show them, when they see that thousands of acres of fertile farmland are not as valuable as a workshop, guess what they will do?"
Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "It is said that businessmen pursue profit. Who in this world is not like this? When the time comes, they will definitely come in droves, like gadflies seeing blood."
This son is really a monster!
Not only can he see through the world, but he is also familiar with people's hearts... How was this son born?
*****
Changsun Mansion.
The spring is bright and the willows are green and the flowers are red.
Changsun Wuji returned to the house and sat in the study without saying a word. His face was as gloomy as water, with a hint of thunder and rage gestating in it. His mood was completely opposite to the bright scene outside. Although Changsun Wuji's temper was not gentle,
The servants of the Changsun Mansion had rarely seen their master look like this, and they suddenly felt uneasy. They even walked on tiptoes, fearing that they would cause the master's displeasure and encounter unexpected disasters...
At the same time, everyone screamed in their hearts, with the current status of the family head, who else can provoke the family head to this?
After sitting for a long time, Changsun Wuji stood up and walked to the desk, took a pen and paper, and started writing quickly.
He leaned a little and called his close servants.
"These letters are sent to the Lu family, Zhang family, Xie family, and Wang family in Jiangnan in turn. They must be handed over to their heads of family in person, without any mistakes."
The servants bowed and took orders.
Changsun Wuji held the last letter in his hand and looked troubled for a long time before he slowly said: "This letter must be delivered to... the young master in person."
He didn't want to let Changsun Chong surface, but he thought that the eldest son must be extremely angry now. If he could get rid of Fang Jun with his own hands and let out such a bad breath, although it would not bring any benefit to the situation, it would at least avoid depression.
…
The servant was startled and suddenly raised his head, meeting Changsun Wuji's burning eyes.
With awe in his heart, the servant quickly knelt down and whispered: "Master, don't worry, even if I die, I will deliver this letter to the young master, and I will never leak any part of it!"
Yes, the young master fled in fear of crime, but how could the master of the family not know his whereabouts? I am afraid that the emperor also knew about it, but just turned a blind eye and didn't bother to get to the bottom of it. After all, the emperor still missed his old love...
The servants knew this, but they also knew that the confidentiality of this trip was the most important. The emperor might not look into it if there was even a slight leak, but how could those opponents who were eyeing the eldest son's family let go of such a good opportunity to attack the head of the family?
Changsun Wuji said happily: "Yes, this trip must be kept secret. After the event is completed, I will not hesitate to reward you."
The servant immediately said: "This slave is a servant of the eldest son's family. This life is given by the eldest grandson's family. I don't want any reward. I just want the master and the young master to live a long life and have all their wishes come true."
"Very good, go ahead and choose a team of guards to follow. Pay attention to safety!"
"promise!"
After watching the servant go out, Changsun Wuji sat back on the couch with a stern look on his lips.
"My son has a family and is unable to return, and his great future is ruined. How do you still want to use this kind of businessman to rise to the top and make great achievements? It is a dream! Not only will I accomplish nothing, but I will also let you spend this life.
Also lost in Jiangnan..."
While muttering to himself, the hatred is overwhelming!
