In the 40th year of the Apocalypse, on September 26, Sun Chuanting, the representative of the Ming Dynasty, and Niraf, the representative of the Rakshasa Kingdom, signed the "Kirov Treaty" with Kirov.This is a major event that has changed the course of history for Zhu Youxiao, who is already close to the age of sixtieth.He was undoubtedly pleased with this."
Daming's territory is finally a lot larger!"
Under the illumination of the newly popularized electric light, Zhu Youxiao looked at the whole map of the newly replaced Ming Dynasty, and said excitedly to his auxiliary ministers."
What's even more gratifying is that this time there will be hundreds of millions of taels of silver in compensation!
The first one alone, there are 50 million!
”Liu Hongxun said with a smile, and then sighed: "Being Your Majesty's first assistant is happy, never worrying about making money, only about spending money." ”"The core of today's prosperous situation lies in only one point, that is, to take the interests of the nation as the foundation!""
All this is not just my credit, you and the people of the world are all credit, otherwise how could you get such a huge profit from the Rakshasa Kingdom?"
Zhu Youxiao said: "So next, how to spend this money, we still have to put the interests of the nation first!"
”"How to distribute the benefits of the world is very important, if it is only used to support the producers, the enthusiasm of the producers will inevitably decline, so that the economy of the world is a deformed economy, and the enthusiasm of the people to improve the power of production will also decline, and the enthusiasm for innovation and technology will also be reduced!""
Your Majesty said yes!
The duty of the imperial court is how to better manage the wealth of the world. ”Wen Tiren also replied."
Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders.This is not what we want to see, if there is such a phenomenon, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the imperial court!
”Lu Xiangsheng mentioned it more sharply and directly.Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and smiled slightly.He had to admit that these ministers, under his influence, had begun to have the consciousness of a modern ruler and began to understand the importance of regulating the economy.Instead of being like the traditional scholars in history, they only pay attention to moral construction, and ignore the imbalance of the national economy, and even if they see it, they have nothing to do, at most they just sigh with some poetry.Better yet, it is to establish some policies to curb mergers, without the consciousness of tilting the distribution of benefits directly towards the producers, i.e., the majority of the people, at the national level.But now, these ministers around Zhu Youxiao, after witnessing the development of the Apocalypse in the past forty years, already know the importance of distributing the cake.Knowing that the imperial court can't just prevent the powerful from sending more cakes to their own homes, they also have to take the initiative to use visible hands to divide the cakes more on the producer's side.Because the invisible hand of the market is always habitually concentrating wealth in the hands of a better but only a few."
What my father said is that how to distribute the benefits of the world is very important!""
Erchen believes that the distribution of wealth is based on the word fairness!
I privately thought that if we wanted to be fair, the wealth increased by the world would benefit all the people in the world, but at present, the treatment of military attaches and sergeants is too high, and the welfare of the people is also too high, so that the imperial court's state expenditure is very huge, even if there is about to be 50 million taels of silver indemnity in the account, it is difficult to maintain the imperial court expenditure for a long time, and the imperial court should still find a way to reduce military expenditure and welfare expenditure. ”Zhu Cican, the second son of the emperor, spoke at this time."
The treatment of military attachés and sergeants cannot be lowered now, and the military attachés and sergeants are willing to settle outside the customs, and even settle in the bitter cold places further north, all because of the high silver given by the imperial court and the high amount of silver after discharge, if it is lowered, who is willing to go to the bitter cold land outside the border?""
In addition, strong military strength is the confidence of the imperial court to control the distribution of wealth in the world, and without a knife in hand, you can't divide the fish and meat.""
As for the welfare of the people, it is the basis for maintaining the vitality and stability of the nation, the imperial court does not give them welfare guarantees, once they go bankrupt due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, and fall into the point where they cannot survive, they will become unstable factors, and those who have no permanent property have no perseverance, the imperial court does not give the Han people in the world a foundation, how can the Han people in the world have enough energy for the realization of their ideal values?""
I'm afraid that I will only run around for food all my life, so what is the future of my nation?
What is the difference between high and low and foreign?
”Lu Xiangsheng spoke at this time."
But what if the outside of the world is exhausted, what will happen then?"
Zhu Cican asked keenly.Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything more after hearing this.And Zhu Cican pursed his lips, and his eyes showed a smug look.These days, in the political affairs hall, he can be regarded as seeing the power of the important ministers in the empire, and he has also learned a lot from himself.He knew that it was still a little difficult for him to show that he would be admired by these auxiliary ministers in governing the country, and then support his level as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future.Especially the die-hard supporter of his imperial brother - Shoufu Liu Hongxun.Therefore, now that he can ask these auxiliary ministers, Zhu Cican feels that he is already very good."
It's too early to think about that, and the only thing we can do now is to get more people to have more energy to carry out technological innovation, which is also the root of ensuring the basic welfare of the people."
Wen Tiren replied at this time."
But this can't be ignored, if one day the external benefits are not enough, according to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, which has high welfare and high military spending, the finances will inevitably collapse!""
As Gong Wen said, this matter ultimately depends on technological innovation, so we should give greater preferential treatment to scholars and doctors, or restore the previous preferential exemption regulations to promote better technological development."
Zhu Cican said."
Scholars and doctors, it is better to reward them, and as for the preferential treatment, there is no need to do it!""
Because of the privilege of preferential exemption, it is easy to have scholars who indiscriminately fill the number only for the sake of preferential exemption!""
Before, the consequences of the gentry preferential exemption regulations are an example, a large number of fields that should have been taxed suddenly disappeared from the books of the imperial court household department by means of trickery and sprinkling!"
Liu Hongxun replied."
Rewards are only beneficial to outstanding scholars, and for most scholars, it is tantamount to flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water!""
For example, today, some scholars are far less wealthy than workers and peasants!""
Workers and peasants all live in blue-tiled houses, and even some people even drive cars produced by Datong Machinery, so that children can go to the best kindergartens!""
Many scholars are inferior to them, and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, named Dai Wen, has not much surplus wealth because of the concubine, and now he has to compile his own works, so that he can only drink porridge every meal!""
In addition, many scholars can only stay in the worst hotels, or even live outside the city!"
Zhu Cican said here: "Sergeants, farmers, scholars, and workers are all ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, so why only give preferential treatment to sergeants and craftsmen and even farmers who farm the land, but not to scholars?"
