Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei - Chapter 727
“business…”
The emperor murmured softly, tapping his fingers on the table.
The role of Shang is already very clear in Daheng, in the will revealed by the Son of Heaven.
Daheng’s business is not focusing on business and neglecting agriculture.
Strictly speaking, the current Daheng is still the old-fashioned emphasis on agriculture and suppressing commerce.
However, the emphasis on agriculture, manifested in all aspects, is very clear.
The suppression of business is hidden in the dark, covered by the prosperous business scene on the surface.
Daheng’s state-owned commercial firm and the Wuxun commercial system are the highest proof of business restraint.
The reason why the emperor knew the inefficiency of state-owned business, the inevitable corruption, and the suppression of the business environment by the military business system, but still ignored its existence, the fundamental reason lies in the word suppression of business!
Daheng’s business, its role, cares about protecting agriculture, not light agriculture.
The prosperity of the business will undoubtedly have an impact on the farmers.
There is also a contradiction between the two.
Therefore, there is a state-owned commercial system, as well as the existence of a military business system.
These two business systems are like two insurmountable reins, which firmly bind Daheng’s business.
Business, what can be done, what cannot be done, what must be done!
Everything about the business is under the shackles of these two reins.
The reason for this is naturally very simple.
One, of course, is the deeply ingrained thought of the official standard, which cannot be changed.
The second and most important reason is the disorder and greed of capital. With the prosperity of business, it will inevitably become more and more terrifying, and even affect all aspects of the country.
Although in this official-based environment, the disorder and greed of capital is unlikely to be as reckless as that in the West.
But obviously, it has to be guarded.
With these two sets of business systems as the foundation, the emperor manages the big business environment, so there is no need to focus on countless subtleties, but to be specific to the individual.
Which dignitaries and which merchants are raising wealth, this is not a secret matter.
When something goes wrong, whether it’s dealing with it or killing someone, there are people who are extremely clear and can shoulder the responsibility.
The power of Daheng is given to them, and they use it, whether it is for the public or for personal gain, there are laws in it.
In the heart of the emperor, agriculture is the foundation of the country from beginning to end, and this cannot be violated.
The existence of business is just a tool to make farmers richer and the country richer.
In this era, looking at the world, there is no country that needs Daheng to catch up.
Daheng has time, and Daheng does not need to sacrifice the interests of farmers in exchange for a short-term transition.
Agriculture is the foundation, and business is the supplement.
How primary and secondary, clearly.
However, the emperor naturally knew that this rule, in the current Zhaowu dynasty, was naturally reliable.
But with the evolution of time, the existence of commerce will inevitably become more and more prosperous, and the existence of rules will inevitably become weaker.
It is very clear that whether it is rich or not, business is rich, it means that its descendants can enjoy the best educational resources, have the best educational resources, and have contacts that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. On a career.
Just like the integration of officials and businessmen in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty, officials were businessmen, and businessmen were officials. The two were greedy and one, and any rules and any restraints were all like fiction.
And now, this time North Korea’s shipping company is extremely prosperous, some gentry landlords have shifted their focus from agriculture to business…
Let’s go and try it. 】
At this point, the emperor couldn’t help shaking his head, the ills are actually easy to solve.
Throughout history, the dynasties and dynasties have already given clear answers.
Heavy agriculture, suppress business!
Directly cut across the board!
Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, merchants are low-ranking members, and they are the bottom of the society. From etiquette and morals, to laws and regulations, they set limits at every level.
But it is also obvious that the evolution of business in the past few hundred years has also proved that this set is no longer in line with the times.
Everything is obviously relative.
How could a wealthy businessman with a superior family background and rich wealth be willing to be restricted to the bottom of the society, even inferior to the old farmers in the fields?
If you have money, you must have status.
If you have money but no status, you will find ways to use money in exchange for status.
It is inevitable at this time.
The limitation from the source will lead to the disadvantages that almost overturned the dynasty in the former Ming Dynasty.
Because the former Ming Dynasty restricted commerce from the root of Hongwu, and ignored commerce.
Such restrictions cannot remain strict forever.
Businessmen should develop, and they will.
In the former Ming Dynasty, the commerce and trade in the south of the Yangtze River was prevalent, which was the truth.
After Hongwu, the future sons of tomorrow, the courtiers, can no longer strictly implement the restrictive policy like Hongwu.
In this way, it brings about the erosion of the former Ming taxation.
After all, the former Ming, from the root, is to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and businessmen are the lowest.
But in fact, businessmen, in the former Ming Dynasty, have slowly risen over time.
The policy of the imperial court is to ignore business from the root, but in fact, it is unable to continue to suppress business.
The court’s strategy of suppressing business from the root is naturally doomed, and the former Ming court could not implement an effective business tax strategy.
The existence of business is developing in this empty window period.
The suppression of the imperial court only exists in words and cannot be implemented. The business environment, under the constraints of the Hongwu ancestral system, UU Reading www. It is difficult for uukanshu.com to have the slightest restraint.
Since the savage growth, the monster of government and business has been born in Qianming, gradually grasping the right to speak, and swallowing Qianming step by step.
As a result, the former Ming Dynasty was able to sit on the south of the Yangtze River with wealth and strict financial control, but it was unprecedented in the ages.
The emperor is very clear that everything he does now and every rule he sets will inevitably affect hundreds of years.
All of his, in Daheng, is the “ancestral system” that cannot be violated!
The saying that the ancestors are not good enough, although it is domineering, but in a sense, it only exists in fantasy, basically, it cannot exist in reality.
The existence of a country, such as jurisprudence and righteousness, may seem illusory, but it is a more effective restraint than any means and policies.
He was the founding emperor of Daheng, and Daheng was the one who founded it. As long as Daheng is not dead, Daheng has not been usurped.
The monarch of later generations, the minister of later generations, the basis of existence is to inherit the legal principles of Emperor Zhaowu.
They can violate the policies and rules set by Emperor Zhaowu, and they can make them useless, but it is absolutely impossible to veto them openly and aboveboard!
To veto him, Emperor Zhaowu, is to veto the meaning of their own existence.
Just like the great prophecy of the former Ming Dynasty, since Hongwu, although it is in name only, no matter whether it is the prince of the former Ming Dynasty or the minister of the former Ming Dynasty, almost no one cares, and even takes it as a joke.
But after Hongwu, which emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the minister of the Ming Dynasty, would openly veto the existence of Da Gao?
He established the rules of Emperor Zhaowu, whether they were implemented or not was one thing, whether they existed or not was another.
As long as the rules exist, even if one emperor is incompetent and one subject is incompetent, making him useless, but if there is a good ruler and a good minister, the rules left by Emperor Zhaowu will be their biggest reliance on strengthening the country and enriching the people!
