Chapter 667 Imperial Economic System
Cen Wenwen's emotion made Fang Xuanling baffled.
Catch the memorial that was handed over, and glanced down, the familiar handwriting is still so pleasing to the eye, and the round structure seems to be a little more sophisticated than before, faintly showing the realm of great accomplishment.
Fang Xuanling clicked his tongue, feeling faintly proud, and then carefully flipped through his son's memorial.As a result, the more you look at it, the more surprised you are, and the more you look at it, the more shocking you will be!
The country's economic system?
?Price, consumption, investment, export, taxation...these are front-line words, and they are all too familiar to the prime minister of a country like Fang Xuanling.But Fang Jun unexpectedly linked these nouns he called "economic indicators" in a whimsical way, which makes people think deeply.
When prices increase, consumption will decline; when consumption declines, it will promote investment growth; investment growth will increase the employment rate of workshops and increase the income of handicraft workers; the increase in employment rate and income of handicraft workers will effectively stabilize The negative effect brought about by the increase in prices will also stimulate consumption; the increase in consumption will not only increase tax revenue, but also increase the operating rate of workshops; the increase in operating rate of workshops will inevitably promote exports, and the income of handicraftsmen will also increase simultaneously; and the increase in taxation , will fill the national treasury, promote public expenditure, such as disaster relief, infrastructure construction in lower counties...
According to the statement in this memorial, if each of the above points can be achieved, then the country's economic system is healthy, otherwise, there is a crisis of economic collapse...
To Fang Xuanling's surprise, two of these nouns - workshop and handicraftsman - were mentioned several times.
Fang Xuanling frowned.
As we all know, since the "Guanzi" put forward the hierarchy of "scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce", it has been the most basic social structure for thousands of years.
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the national policy was "inclusiveness", and there was no strong administrative suppression of a certain class. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty was the most enlightened dynasty since ancient times. This is also since His Majesty Li Er, including Fang Xuanling , Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Cen Wenwen and other famous officials are the place of pride.
However, the social structure that has been established for thousands of years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Such admiration of merchants will inevitably encounter great resistance...
Even in the all-inclusive Tang Dynasty, there was an unspoken rule that "the family of industry and commerce should not prejudge scholars", and a large number of officials from scholastic background and more than once asked the imperial court to promulgate a code of law to bring this unspoken rule to the table and become an empire. The testimonies.
This bastard actually wants to elevate business to such a high status, he simply wants to regard it as the pillar of the empire!
Simply fantastic!
However, apart from worries, Fang Xuanling also had to admit that if this "idea" can be realized, the national treasury will be filled several times or even ten times, and by that time, the entire national power will be stronger to what extent?
After reading the memorial silently, Cen Wenwen handed it to Zhangsun Wuji without saying a word, closing his eyes slightly, chewing on the meaning in it, and calming down the agitation in his heart.
Is this... to create an era unprecedented in ancient times?
Regardless of whether Fang Jun's memorial can be implemented, or whether it will be as successful as Fang Jun envisioned after implementation, it is just a pillar of imperial taxation that puts commercial tax above agricultural tax, and it can be called A genius idea!
If there really is such a day...
Cen Wenwen rubbed the center of his brows and smiled wryly.
how can that be possible……
His Majesty Li Er drank the tea and saw the expressions of the prime ministers one by one.
My heart is full of regrets.
Who can imagine that a memorial thrown by a young man who has not reached the weak crown can cause the entire center of the empire to fall into such trouble?The people here are the pillars of the empire, and they are not much less famous than the ancients. They are all outstanding figures who are destined to shine in the history books, but they have never realized that there is such a wonderful world in this world...
Encourage business, support business, vigorously develop business, place commercial tax above agricultural tax, gradually reduce the proportion of agricultural tax, until one day, the empire's dependence on agricultural tax is minimal, and then...
Abolish the agricultural tax!
The corners of His Majesty Li Er's lips curled up, revealing a weird smile.
It's really a wonderful dream...
Even if it can be as Fang Jun imagined, how many years will it be?
50 years? 100 years?Or 500 years, 1000 years?
so far away...
But just as Fang Jun often said - what is the difference between a person without a dream and a salted fish?
If I can master the art of longevity, live the same life as the sun and the moon, and die with the sky and the earth, maybe I can really see the Huaxu country in my dream...
His Majesty Li Er, who had always despised Qin Shihuang's dream of longevity, felt for the first time in his life that he could understand Qin Shihuang's state of mind.
What a pity it is when I single-handedly created a super empire that is huge enough to dominate the world, but I don't have the energy and spare time to enjoy the achievement of leading the world and dominating the world.
Maybe, I can talk to Li Chunfeng about the possibility of longevity later, and I want to recall Yuan Tiangang, who is still in the middle of Sichuan, and look for the "old fairy" Sun Simiao who has always been indifferent...
With a sneer, he replaced His Majesty Li Er who was wandering in the kingdom of longevity.
Looking up, Changsun Wuji was just throwing the memorial on the desk with disdain, and said with a sneer, "It's a bunch of nonsense! Is Fang Jun crazy or stupid? Since ancient times, merchants have been cheap. Merchants value profits. , do not engage in production, and often drive up prices for profit. How can such a group of profit-seeking and lowly people become the pillars of the empire? If we really follow the instructions in this memorial, the day of the empire's fall is not far away!"
In his opinion, Fang Jun is just a villain who got his ambitions and became dizzy when he was full of ambitions. He actually challenged the social structure that existed in ancient times and tried to flatter merchants so as to get a large amount of business taxes. He didn't know what to say!
Everyone was silent.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, this is the social structure for thousands of years, and it is the cornerstone of social stability.If it is changed rashly, it will inevitably cause chaos in the entire society. It may be an exaggeration to say that it will lead to the "fall of the empire". Datang is rich in the world and has strong soldiers and horses. It is not too difficult to stabilize the situation, but it will trigger a turmoil that spreads to all levels of the entire country. Almost certainly.
"Scholar" is a vested interest in the "Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce" system. Guan Zi, who proposed this concept back then, was also a "scholar", so he naturally wanted to shout for his own class in order to gain support from his own class.In fact, it is precisely the advocacy and suppression of "scholars" that the social structure of "scholars, farmers, businessmen" has continued unwaveringly for thousands of years...
"Shi" is the de facto controller of the country.
In the face of the "gentry" groups that try to shake the social structure and harm the interests of their own classes, they will inevitably rise up and attack them.
Therefore, what Changsun Wuji said is correct, at least in the current period when the country is stable, Fang Jun's memorial is basically not feasible.
As for the "imperial economic system" mentioned by Fang Jun in the memorial, in Changsun Wuji's view, it is even more fantasy.
Fang Xuanling frowned, and glanced at Changsun Wuji lightly.
Although he also thought that his son's memorial was a little unreliable and almost unfeasible, but Changsun Wuji's belittling him still made him unhappy.
After all, he was his own son...
My own son can beat and scold by himself, but why does your eldest grandson Wuji belittle you so brazenly?
Fang Xuanling opened his mouth to speak, but was preempted by others...
Wei Zheng raised his eyelids, took a look at Changsun Wuji, and said with a cold snort, "Businessmen are low? Businessmen are only interested in profit? If businessmen become the pillars of the empire, the empire will fall? Please forgive me for not agreeing with Zhao Guogong's words."
Changsun Wuji thought that Fang Xuanling would jump out to defend his son, but Wei Zheng didn't want to blame himself first.
Why is this old dog so crazy, it stopped biting His Majesty today, but came to bite me?
Changsun Wuji stared at Wei Zheng with a cold face, and asked word by word: "Lord servant, what do you mean?"
Wei Zheng's old face was calm, and he said in a calm tone, "If according to what Zhao Guogong said, you are now the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, the official residence of the Taiwei, and the right servant of the Shangshu, you are really the pillar of the empire. Isn't the fall of the empire imminent?"
