Chapter 79 The city changes the law!
The court seemed to be back on track, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just a temporary peace.
But this has nothing to do with Ouyang Bian, so he got up early.
Before the sun came out, Ouyang Bian had already brought a straw hat, carried a fishing rod and other fishing gear and set off to the river.
But as soon as he came out of the thatched hut, he saw a carriage coming from outside the cemetery.
Ouyang Bian couldn't help but be quite surprised. Who came so early?
When the coachman saw Ouyang Bian, he quickly shouted: "Boss!"
Ouyang Bian understood as soon as he heard this. He called him this, but he had no one except his subordinates.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Yu Mou jumped off the carriage, which scared Ouyang Bian: "Mr. Yu, be careful!"
Yu Mou ran two steps on the ground and took off his rush, laughing and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm a little bit."
Ouyang Bian was speechless: "Mr. Yu, how old are you? This is too dangerous!"
Yu Mou smiled and said, "I'm worried."
Ouyang Bian sighed, "You smiled, I can't see where I'm in a hurry."
Yu Mou's face collapsed.
Ouyang Bian couldn't help but laugh: "You are a good actor, ha, forget it, let's talk about it on the way, go fishing together."
Yu Mou nodded: "Can you go by carriage?"
Ouyang Bian shook his head: "Walking helps health, let's go."
Yu Mou looked around.
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"
Yu Mou whispered: "Where is your bodyguard, boss?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "It's nearby. With their abilities, if you don't want you to see it, you can't find it."
Yu Mou smiled and nodded: "That's not."
The two of them were walking on the path, and their trousers became a little wet after a while. The dew was too heavy.
Yu Mou frowned, but Ouyang Bian didn't care at all, but was quite happy with the coolness of the morning.
"Mr. Yu, I came to me so early to find me for morning exercise... Well, what's the matter with me?"
Yu Mou said sadly: "Boss, you are living in seclusion in this paradise. Do you still pay attention to the outside world?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "If you have something to say something."
Yu Mou's face was solemn: "Boss, I met Lu Huiqing yesterday. He told me that the regulations of the three departments were preparing to issue a new law called "City Yi Law". Boss, do you know this?"
Ouyang Bian's face suddenly became solemn: "What about the specific content?"
Yu Mou said: "According to Lu Huiqing's description, the Municipal Change Law stipulates that urban Change Departments will be set up in Bianjing, and the number of municipal Change Departments in borders and large cities should be no less than twenty.
The court set up officials and supervisors, officials who worked as official officials, recruited shops and gangs to act as pedestrians and gangs for the business of the market, and to take charge of goods.
Foreign merchants sold the goods to the market as they wished, and pedestrians and yamen bargained fairly;
What is not needed on the market for the time being will also be "storage changes" and will be sold at the time;
The merchants are willing to exchange other goods in the market and provide them as much as possible.
In addition, pedestrians participating in the work of the municipal affairs must be mortgaged with real estate or gold and silver, and more than five people will be insured with each other. They will purchase goods from the municipal affairs and sell them on the market at a profit. The payment will be repaid within half a year to one year. The annual profit will be 20% if it expires. If it is not paid, it will be fined."
Ouyang Bian frowned.
Yu Mou said even more worriedly: "The market law says it plays a role in stabilizing prices to adjust supply and demand, limiting the monopoly of profiteers, and taking over the benefits that were previously attributed to big businessmen to officials and increasing fiscal revenue. This seems to be a very perfect measure. Both the government and the people benefit, but the original intention and actual effect have never been consistent."
Ouyang Bian nodded. Once the government participates in the business, it is a referee and an athlete, and private enterprises cannot fight at all.
The state monopolizes the market, supply, prices, and even wholesale and retail. Even if they want to do small businesses, they have to pass the government’s barriers first.
As a result, if large, medium and small businessmen are struggling together, urban industry and commerce will begin to wither. In this way, shrinkage and depression of urban commerce and markets across the country will inevitably occur, and social unrest will also be inevitable.
This matter is too big!
If you make such a struggle, Ouyang Bian's achievements over the past decade will be completely ruined!
Thinking of this, Ouyang Bian had no idea about fishing: "Let's go, go back."
After saying that, Ouyang Bian turned around quickly and threw the fishing gear aside.
Yu Mou quickly followed.
Ouyang Bian returned to the thatched hut.
Yu Mou came for the first time and looked at the environment of the thatched hut with curiosity.
The thatched cottage looks simple, but when you enter it, there is another world.
Although it looks simple, it has a very complete function.
There are all doors and windows, plenty of light, and ventilation on all sides. If it is winter, close the doors and windows to keep warm.
There are all bed, tables and chairs inside, as well as several rows of large bookshelf, and even a separate bathroom inside.
Ouyang Bian went to the desk, and Yu Mou quickly went over to help grind the ink.
Ouyang Bian thought about it and wrote several letters respectively.
One letter was written to Wang Anshi, one letter was written to Zhao Xu, and one letter was written to Han Qi.
The content of the letter is similar, nothing more than emphasizing that commercial tax is the big part of the current annual income of the imperial court. If there is a problem with commercial tax, the economic crisis will come, and the scene of empty treasury before the New Year will come again!
Of course, when facing different people, Ouyang Bian's words are naturally different.
When the letter was finished, Ouyang Bian stuffed the envelopes into them, placed them on the table, and held his chin and thought for a while: "Mr. Yu, notify President Lu, President Jiang, General Yang, General Zhang and other president-level people to come to my meeting."
Yu Mou said in surprise: "Boss, can't you convince Your Majesty?"
Ouyang Bian shook his head: "You must not be lucky in everything. It is better to stop it, but if it cannot be stopped, then we must have the means to deal with it."
Yu Mou nodded.
While Ouyang Bian was waiting for Lu Caiwei and others to arrive, Ouyang Bian was also waiting for the reply from Wang Anshi, Zhao Xu and others.
Unfortunately, there was still no news when Lu Caiwei and others rushed back from all over the country.
When Lu Caiwei and others arrived, only Zhao Xu's letter came late.
After Ouyang Bian finished reading it, his face suddenly became heavy.
Zhao Xu believes that the Municipal Change Law is a very perfect measure, and both the government and the people benefit, so it should be supported and continued to be implemented. I hope Ouyang Bian will also support it.
As for the issues that Ouyang Bian is worried about, he will report to the establishment of the three departments and regulations, and check for omissions and fill in the gaps, which will greatly prevent this situation from happening.
Ouyang Bian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Sure enough, the way everyone looks at the problem is determined by the location of his butt.
Chapter completed!
