Chapter 302 Dispute
Chapter 302 After hearing what Qin Huaidao said, Changsun Wuji was very proud and said that as long as His Majesty wants it, he would give it to him.
"Is that true? Then, what fields can you rely on to maintain your Duke Zhao's mansion? How can you rely on to maintain your Duke Zhao's mansion?
As a Zuo Pushe, you are not responsible to the people at all. You are just a slutty man who bullies the superiors and the inferiors! You have a narrow vision. How can you govern the people?" Qin Huaidao said to Changsun Wuji in a very stern tone.
"Then according to what you said, it is for the people not to contribute the technology of brick factories? You don't care about the lives of the people!" Changsun Wuji stood there, looking at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"I'll ask you, what should I do if I don't have the brick factory I built? Do you want to save me? Is there any other way?" Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji and asked.
"Now there is! There is a brick factory, why can't you take it out!" Changsun Wuji also stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"I have the technology to increase grain output, I have the materials to improve people's cold protection, I have the materials to improve people's convenient transportation, I have the technology to improve army combat! Do I dare to take it out now? I take it out as a contribution, who dares to continue researching?" Qin Huaidao stood there, questioning Changsun Wuji,
At this time, Changsun Wuji stared at Qin Huaidao.
The other ministers also looked at Qin Huaidao. They now know what Qin Huaidao means!
"There is no profit and no profit to make. Who will develop it? Well? Your Changsun Wuji is willing to do such a thing? There are top-notch foods and top-notch tea at my Duke Hu's mansion!
If I were not Duke Hu, I was just an ordinary citizen, and I needed to make a living by relying on these. If all of them were like you and all the good things were taken away, then who would still develop them?
The court can only collect taxes, not compete for profits with the people!" Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji and said, when Changsun Wuji heard it, he looked at Qin Huaidao.
"Boping, stop talking!" Li Jing still pulled Qin Huaidao and said,
Li Ji was also anxious. Is this place too close to Ganlu Palace? What would His Majesty think if he knew Qin Huaidao said this? They were all military generals. Some of them didn’t understand Qin Huaidao’s, but Fang Xuanling understood, Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia, Tang Jian and others understood, and many officials from aristocratic families also understood.
"Duke Zhao, I am willing to donate the brick factory. For the sake of the people, I can donate it. Moreover, I also have the ability to make money. I don't see this little profit.
However, this is not how things are done. I can take the initiative to donate them. If you don’t tell them today, I will also mention them myself. However, if you propose this matter with other purposes, it is wrong and you are dereliction of duty!
If I, Qin Huaidao, don’t mention it today, and I don’t give it to Your Majesty, I will be dereliction of duty and I will be ruthless. I will not take the people of the world in my heart, nor will I take His Majesty in my heart!" Qin Huaidao stood there and continued to fight against Changsun Wuji.
"Boping!" At this moment, His Majesty came out of Ganlu Hall,
All the others bowed to His Majesty, and Qin Huaidao was the same. He knew that Li Shimin must have heard it. He was also talking about it here on purpose. These things must be explained clearly.
"Boping, Jingde, Yao Jin, Jingde, Medicine Master, Maogong, Xuanling, Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia, Tang Jian, Zhang Liang, come to the study!" Li Shimin held his hands behind his back and called out.
When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but look at Qin Huaidao worriedly, while Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile.
Soon, they arrived at the Ganlu Palace, where Li Shimin sat on it and asked them to sit down. The prince was also sitting here, and Li Tai and Li Zhi were also there.
"I have heard what you said outside just now. Boping, you have an objection to this matter!" Li Shimin sat there, looking at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"I have no objection to the technology of handing over the brick factory. Even if Duke Zhao doesn't say it, I will say it. But Duke Zhao shouldn't say it!" Qin Huaidao stood up and bowed to Li Shimin and said.
"Well, I heard it too. What you are worried about is that I will take down all the workshops in the future!" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"It's not that you are worried that you will collect it, but that the ministers below will suggest doing so. Your Majesty, I just kept saying that the court collects taxes and cannot compete with the people for profit. The court also needs to protect those inventors and inventors,
Let them know that inventing good things will be beneficial, and protecting them will also bring great benefits to the court!" Qin Huaidao stood there and continued.
"Tell me!" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and said.
"Your Majesty, if the court protects them, then they dare to invent. What they invent can be sold, and the court can also collect taxes.
When other people see it, they will learn it. They believe that if they invent good things and can change their family, they will do things with their hearts. In this way, more people will invent good things and the court will receive more taxes.
On the contrary, when the people saw the invention, they were taken away by the court, so they would not want to invent it, and the court would not be able to collect taxes.
During the Zhenguan period, the tax revenue in the court did not change much, with an increase of less than 3%. This year, I dare to say that the growth must exceed 10%. If the growth of 10% is maintained, the living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty will improve!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Shimin.
"This is a bad thing. What you just said is just looking at the problem from the perspective of a businessman! Businessmen can only suck the blood of the people!" Changsun Wuji stared at Qin Huaidao and said.
"Oh, a noble servant, who is so short-sighted!" Qin Huaidao couldn't help but sigh when he heard Changsun Wuji say this.
"You!" Changsun Wuji was very angry when he heard him say this.
"Boping, speak well!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao.
"The merchants say there is something bad, but it depends on what kind of merchants, such as those who resell goods, do not engage in unconventional productive labor, but it cannot be denied that they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for them, how did the Tang Dynasty's materials circulate to the world? How did the Tang Dynasty collect their taxes!
There is also a kind of businessman, such as Chen, who makes money by production. Is paper not important? Are books not important? Also, can those porcelain and mirrors improve the living standards of the people?" Qin Huaidao stood there and asked Changsun Wuji.
"That is to improve the living standards of rich people. Ordinary people are still the same!" Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Huaidao and pushed over.
"Is that true? Don't you know that production requires hiring workers? Not to mention anything else, just talk about the workshop of the Ministry of Works. Go and inquire about how many people have been employed in the workshop of the Ministry of Works recently, and what the price is!
The Ministry of Industry Workshop employs more than 10,000 people, and the minimum wage will not be less than 10 cents a day, and you have to buy it! 300 cents a month, more than three cents a year, and three cents a year of money. The concept of three cents a year of money was born. Before, most people in Chang'an City had no income of more than two cents a year. Now one person can make three cents a year.
In addition, on the paper mill, Your Highness King of Jin, you can tell them how much their wages are!" Qin Huaidao stood there and started talking.
"If the workers in the paper mill do not work overtime, it is about 10 questions for the money. If they work overtime, it may exceed 20 words!" Li Zhi heard it and stood up and replied.
"When those people have money, they will send their children to study, buy paper and books, and form a virtuous cycle, and the same is true for brick factories.
Those who work for only 8 months can basically earn three stagnant of money. Therefore, there are many children in the Zhuangzi in Qinzhuang and other Dukes' mansions, because the family can provide them!" Qin Huaidao stood there and continued to speak to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin heard this and nodded, knowing that this must be true.
"In addition, because the Royal Supermarket, paper mill, winery, printing factory, brick factory, these factories have paid at least 220,000 guan this year. The annual tax of the Tang Dynasty is only about 3 million guan, which brings nearly 7 cents of growth to the Tang Dynasty! Can this money be used to improve a lot of things?" Qin Huaidao stood there and said to them.
"Also, the ink factory belongs to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry in the supermarket has 60% of the income this year. This year, it can increase by about 300,000 yuan, and another 10% increase.
In other words, the revenue growth of the court this year is at least 20%. If it is maintained, it will be able to exceed 4 million guan next year, and the year after that, it is possible that you will exceed 5 million guan year. Can the newly added income change all aspects of my Tang Dynasty?" Qin Huaidao stood there, staring at Changsun Wuji and questioned.
"If you want to take down those factories, yes, I dare say that the paper mill and printing factory will suffer losses within a few years, and the Royal Supermarket will be closed at most one year!" Qin Huaidao said as he stared at Changsun Wuji.
"Hmph, exaggerated!" Changsun Wuji said without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I will resign from my position as Minister of Works, no longer supervise the Workshop affairs of the Workshops, no longer manage the Royal Supermarket affairs. If the Royal Supermarket does not suffer losses within one year, I am willing to offer all my property,
If you lose money, please resign from your court position like a minister and hand over all your family wealth!" Qin Huaidao bowed to His Majesty and said in a very serious tone.
"Boping, this is not allowed!" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, stared at Qin Huaidao and shouted.
"Dare you dare to bet?" Qin Huaidao stared at Changsun Wuji very harshly. Today he was determined to correct the idea that businessmen like them are all blood-sucking insects. Qin Huaidao must change the wrong idea that merchants are all inferior people.
"Boping, don't be impulsive!" Li Jing also pulled Qin Huaidao and shouted.
