Chapter 522: Servitude and Miscellaneous


Tai Chi Temple.

At the court meeting, Li Shimin asked: "What else is going on?"

” Yan Lide stood up and said, "The minister has something to say. ” "Speak."

"The minister suggested that the tax law should be amended to include the two items of conscription and miscellaneous service, and the imperial court may harm the interests of the people if the imperial court has been levied for too long, which is also not conducive to the imperial court's taxation."

Yan Lide said.

As soon as these words came out, the imperial court immediately began to discuss, this is a big deal, this conscription and conscription is mainly to support economic support, and the ministers are thinking about what Yan Lide is going to do today.

Li Shimin is also a little confused, he wants to change the time of conscription, what is this for, and what does this have to do with the interests of the people.

"Why is there such a conclusion, let's talk about it."

Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, now Chang'an Chang'an has a minimum daily wage of five wen, and the minimum number of hired workers in a month is one hundred and fifty wen, and the shortest one month for the imperial court to recruit and transfer the conscription, according to common sense, it takes two months for the people to work with rent, that is to say, an ordinary hired worker can earn three hundred wen in two months, if the imperial court conscripts and conscripts for two months is to do day labor, the loss of three hundred wen can make the family eat more than half a year, and the minister thinks that for the benefit of the people, the conscription system should be given to the contract employment system."

Yan Lide said.

"Contract employment, what is it?"

Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, this is a system of protection and restraint of the interests of both parties, for the people who meet the requirements of conscription and forced labor to sign this contract, during the working period the court needs to pay some wages every day, and the construction period is limited, and the excess time will be subsidized with wages, so that the court can subsidize the people with relatively little money, and the consumption caused by the people can also promote the economic development of our dynasty."

Yan Lide said.

"Promoting economic development" Li Shimin is just dying, it must be that this Yan Lide heard something from Yuan Shan, after all, no one else will put forward the word economic development except for the Ministry of Economic Development.

Then think about it, in fact, it really deprives the people of their interests, but now under this system, conscription is an important part of supporting the imperial court, where is it said that it will be abolished, as the emperor, he wishes that everyone in the Tang Dynasty would work for him, and it is a bit fantastical to pay for work.

But the account calculated by Yan Lide is still worth studying, after all, what Yan Lide said at the beginning was not to harm the interests of the people, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it in terms of long-term development.

"This matter will be discussed later, and the court will be like this today, let's disperse."

Li Shimin said.

After the meeting, the little eunuch stopped Yan Lide.

"Yan Shangshu, Your Majesty is invited."

The little eunuch said.

"See Your Majesty," Yan Lide said after seeing Li Shimin.

"Excuse me, you and I don't need to be so polite."

That being said, as a courtier, I know that this is not true.

Yan Lide knew why Li Shimin asked him to come over, forced labor is one of the tax law levies, it is very important, it is not something that can be changed by saying it, he said it today to attract attention.

"I heard about the Ministry of Industry, but I didn't expect that after the Ministry of Economic Development and Development, a large part of the Ministry of Industry's funds will be saved, thanks to you."

Li Shimin said.

"It is within my duty to share the worries of Your Majesty and save the treasury expenses for the imperial court."

Yan Lide said.

Li Shimin was very moved when he heard this, and immediately said: "Stay in the palace for dinner today, and we have a good chat between the monarch and the minister." ” After chatting for a while, Li Shimin asked: "The matter of conscription is a big matter, and you must know that Bai Gongke is a very important part of the support of the imperial dynasty, and it will add a lot of pressure to the treasury to pay. ” "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the tax law can be paid in all money, so that it does not matter whether there is forced labor or not, and that workers can be hired to do things at that time, and besides, the people's lives can be improved when they have money, isn't it a good thing?"

Yan Lide said.

"I think this theory is more like Yuan Shan's kid put forward, and every day he thinks about how to make money and make more money."

Li Shimin said.

Yan Lide was a little speechless, this is really the case, no matter who thought that Yuan Shan's first thought was the word "money", he didn't make a sound, what could he say at this time, it was just to bring up something that he thought was very reasonable when he was chatting with Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan did not go to the court meeting, the reason is very simple, his economic development department does not need to participate in the court meeting every time, this is approved by Li Shimin, and it is also tacitly accepted by everyone after coordinating with the six ministries, otherwise with the development speed of the economic development department, this can become the seventh ministry.

"Yuan Servant Shot, because of the problem of transportation capacity, the miners in other state capitals still have to hold some to be able to transport it over, and it may take a lot of time in terms of time."

Yu Jingming said.

"In this way, let the carriages of the Ministry of Economic Development go directly to the state capitals, and then let them send them directly to Cangzhou, and Cangzhou Shipyard is responsible for the freight involved."

Yuan Shan said.

Yu Jingming didn't say anything, he was in charge of the work of the Economic Development Department, so when considering the problem, he would still focus on the interests of the Economic Development Department.

When it comes to freight, Cangzhou Shipyard may have to spend a lot of money for this, and in addition to the existing fleet, it also needs to hire a fleet from Chang'an to complete the ore transportation, so the Chang'an fleet began to carpool again.

When the ore is transported and comes back, it is necessary to carry kelp products, which is a win-win situation, and it is also a great use for horse-drawn carriages.

It is precisely because of the transportation capacity that the businessmen from Luoyang also set up a carpenter workshop in Luoyang under the mediation of Zhang Xingzhi, and the rich businessmen in Luoyang took the lead in building carriages, and the merchants of Luoyang were even crazier than the merchants of Chang'an City, and they had begun to produce in less than a month, and the various parts suppliers had a clear division of labor, and the speed and productivity were faster than the carpenter alliance.

However, they are restricted by Yuanji's bearing factory, the bearings they need to be supplied from Chang'an, and the freight has increased some costs, but the purchase price of the Ministry of Economic Development has not changed, which makes the businessmen lose a little benefit, but this is nothing compared to the big head.

The addition of Luoyang merchants made Yuan Shan not expect, thinking that this is also an industrial drive, Chang'an's carpenters are already saturated, and it is a good time for Luoyang merchants to join in at this time.

In order to facilitate transportation, the horses were purchased from Luoyang, and each merchant involved in the carriage project was able to receive at least 1,800 yuan, and this was only the beginning.

The number of carriages ordered by the Ministry of Economic Development was huge, which is why Luoyang merchants were willing to join in.

Zhang Xingzhi first came into contact with Luoyang merchants in order to expand the scale and increase production, but he didn't expect that these merchants were far crazier than he thought, and then Zhang Xingzhi's reputation in the carpenter circle became bigger, but the actual benefits were divided.
