Li Li, who is about to be the first to be emperor, is busy as usual, as he has always been elected as emperor.

He sat in the sunny Tingtao Pavilion early in the morning, busy reviewing the list of his hands and then ticking it.

As long as the name on the list is called by him, it means that the person represented by the name will be executed.

This is a goavenary decision, but for the sake of caution, it must be repeated three times: before the execution, the department must submit three consecutive requests to the emperor and ask the emperor to finally decide the death penalty list, and the department can only perform the execution.

Such a system is due to careful consideration of the death penalty. After all, people cannot be resurrected. The three consecutive repetitions are for more careful consideration.

But Li Li not only had a few thin lists, but there were thick piles of information on the case, all of which were handwritten copies of the files of related cases.

Each copy has detailed descriptions of the corresponding case, including descriptions of various personal and physical evidence.

The death penalty list was reported. Before he arrived at him, he had already passed the "multi-level review" of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Justice. Various details of the case have been pondered many times, and it can be said that the probability of overturning the case is very low.

In order to prevent someone from secretly adding names to the list, the death penalty list is printed on special ink and paper instead of handwritten. After multiple reviews, it is extremely difficult to fake.

Therefore, basically all the people on the list cannot escape death, but Li Li still carefully reviewed it. This is to be responsible for the power in his hands and for his own humanity.

Just by typing a check, you can determine life and death. This feeling of holding power is enough to intoxicate anyone.

Over time, those in power will easily become numb, thinking that the names are just words, not living people.

Li Li felt that once the superiors regard human life as grass and have no compassion, they will easily go astray.

For example, a famous historical figure, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, did what he did: open the Grand Canal and conquer Goguryeo three times. Is it right or wrong?

From the perspective of later generations, it was not wrong to open the Grand Canal and conquer Goguryeo three times. What was wrong was not to regard the people as human beings.

Yang Guang had to concentrate on completing these major events in a short period of time. How many people lost their families because of the emperor's great success?

For his ambitions, the emperor did not give ordinary people a way to survive. Then the people rose up and led to chaos in the world and the demise of the Sui Dynasty was Yang Guang's own fault.

This typical counterexample made Li Li always remind himself that even if he was in power, he had to maintain basic human nature. Governing the country was not a battlefield fight, and human lives could not be regarded as a mustard of grass.

He carefully read a list, ticked the last name, gently placed the list, and then "stamped" with his own seal on each name that had been ticked.

This special seal, made into a ring and worn on his right index finger, is equivalent to a private seal, and it is easy to leave.

The reason for doing this is of course to prevent anyone from bypassing him and ticking the death penalty list without his knowledge.

Once the death penalty list becomes an edict, when he goes to Menxia Province for "re-examination", the officials of Menxia Province find that the name only has a hook and no seal, so they have to send the list back and let him confirm it personally.

Such troubles are all for caution.

After some busy schedule, the hook was finished, Li Li looked at the red hook on the list and fell into deep thought.

Many of these people are the "achievements" of fishing law enforcement. Over the past few months, Zu Yi has been "fishing" in the Sanwu area, catching many local snakes who secretly obstructed the procuratorate and the procuratorate.

Therefore, although the Sanwu area is surging in secret, the "big fish" that have the ability to make waves have successively "taken the bait" and the wind and waves cannot be severe.

The so-called "fishing law enforcement" is actually to induce crimes. The government secretly bribed them, attracting some heroes from the world, allowing them to come into contact with local tyrants who may cause trouble, and then planning various major cases.

When the people and the evidence were all complete, the government suddenly launched an attack and "both stolen goods were captured".

The purpose of this kind of "fishing law enforcement" is to create a major case against specific people and then make it into an iron case. The mastermind and his main gangsters will all be sentenced to death.

Therefore, most of the death penalty list reported by the Sanwu area were "big fish" caught.

Every "big fish" then represents a family; the death of every "big fish" represents the decline of this family.

The decline of each local snake family means that the resistance encountered during the inspection and implementation of the inspection and local snakes is reduced, and other local snakes are in a panic.

They dared not put their dissatisfaction into practice anymore, and could not believe whether the "friends" who came to discuss the uprising were really indignant or the hawks of the government.

When these local snakes were suspicious of each other and were worried, their dissatisfaction with the procuratorate and the procuratorate would naturally be suppressed in their hearts and dare not put them into practice.

In this way, when the inspection of the household registration and the inspection of the local area is completed, the situation in the Sanwu area will open:

This fall, the large households in Sanwu, regardless of the officials and the people, must pay the rent in full according to the actual amount of land.

The names of the big households have been investigated and become the labor force of the government's households. They have to serve the government's labor force. The economic income and disposable labor force of the manor will inevitably be significantly reduced.

It is conceivable that the big families will not be less angry, but in the face of the malicious "fishing law enforcement" of the government and the leading figures who were arrested and whose names were denied by the emperor, they would not be crazy anymore.

These people have now taken a step back (at the beginning of the year) and can only retreat step by step.

Because Li Li will not give the other party a chance to "turn back", dare to rebel, and serve the army; if he dares to cause trouble in secret, he will be enforced by fishing;

If the straw man who stabs him at home uses a needle and curse it day and night, it doesn't matter, Li Li doesn't believe this anyway.

The pointer on the clock walked to 10:50, and the Crown Prince Li Fang was waiting outside the pavilion.

Li Li asked his son to come in, and the father and son began to discuss a "business issue":

If the Sanwu area is regarded as a large market, source of customers, land and labor.

So, how should the "Li Family Business" monopolize this market, steal most of the "customer sources", and squeeze out most of the competitors?

Li Fang handed over his plan and stated his thoughts: "The child thought that, as his father said, first of all, he should use large-scale subsidies to seize market share..."

The vocabulary mentioned by Li Fang should not have appeared in this era, and they were all taught by Li Li.

Li Li knew that later business giants had a rough way to seize the market: using large-scale subsidies to achieve ultra-low-priced goods (services) to attract customers and seize market share.

Competing with competitors to burn money, relying on strong funds to waste the other party's funds.

After one competitor after another is forced to withdraw from the competition and the market is exclusive to itself...

Subsidies are cancelled, and goods (services) must not only restore the original price, but also raise the price. Consumers "like to buy, don't buy, get out of buying."

At this time, because of market monopoly and there are no decent competitors, consumers can only become leeks and let the market monopoly harvest.

Such a business expansion model has been tried many industries, but to be successfully implemented, the premise is that there is enough funds to burn money to achieve market monopoly, and then start to cut leeks and make a profit.

Now that Li Li teaches his son this routine, his son quickly figures out a plan, and Li Li has actually arranged a similar plan and is being implemented.

The imperial court relied on the Le'an Copper Mine in Raozhou and mobilized grain from various places to target the Sanwu area, and began to "subsidize" on a large scale to fight against local tyrants.

The first step is to take advantage of the beginning of spring, farmers need to borrow money, buy seeds, rent farm tools and oxen to start the spring plowing. The court used the General Taxation Department as the "outline" to organize merchants to lend low interest rates to farmers in various places.

In the second step, local governments continued to expand recruitment of soldiers with relatively generous treatment and dig up labor from major households in various places.

The third step is to mobilize the wing troops to build large-scale water conservancy facilities around the Taihu Lake area. While controlling the floods of Taihu Lake, they can cultivate land on a large scale and increase the arable land area.

In the long run, the soldiers of the wing were gradually transformed into ward soldiers, took root in the military farm area, and finally became settled households.

Step 4: In the autumn, organize lenders to carry out "discount activities" and pay the principal and interest that will be paid when they expire.

Let the borrowers who have worked for a year be surprised and have more money and food to spend a good New Year.

Of course, the difference caused by "fracture" is subject to "fiscal appropriations" to these money lenders.

At the same time, we organize "cooperatives" to organize small landlords and self-cultivated farmers, enjoy various "quality services", help each other, and help each other.

This routine will continue in the coming year.

For three years, the court directly crushed the "labor market" and "financial market" in the Sanwu area by "burning money and subsidies".

If big households in various places cannot lend money, their income will be greatly affected because lending money to farmers is one of the main ways for these big households to make money and merge land;

If you want to hire people to farm, you can’t hire people at a low price, because most of the strong laborers go to work as soldiers;

Hiring people at a high price will make a loss and you will not make ends meet.

The number of fields in the manor is registered, and the rent must be paid in full regardless of whether the land is planted or not.

The imperial court had large copper mines and grain support from various places, so it was very hard to "burn money" and "subsidize" in the Sanwu area. Therefore, those who could not hold on must be these manor owners.

"Their manor size cannot be maintained, and it will inevitably gradually sell some of their land, and it will be difficult to maintain a closed-door market. The self-sufficient manor economy cannot raise a large number of servants, the gang..."

Li Fang said slowly, the more he spoke, the more he became more and more energetic. After his father’s years of teaching, his ideas were already very clear:

"The court further inspected the property, inspected the land, and cultivated land on a large scale, allowing more laborers to leave these manors and come to live in the newly reclaimed fields under the government organization..."

"This is the economic point of view, the roots of the owners of the large manors in Sanwu area!"

"The Sanwu area is the earliest and most prosperous place south of the Yangtze River. It gathers a large number of overseas Chinese and Wu gentry, and has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years."

"They occupy a large amount of land and labor, but do not pay rent or work, so as to accumulate a large amount of wealth and control a large population."

"As long as the court dug up their roots in the Three Wus, it is equivalent to...."

"It is equivalent to mastering the densest and most abundant granary south of the Yangtze River...."

"It is equivalent to tying the privileged status of aristocratic families on the death penalty list one by one!"
