Chapter 169: Businessman’s Self-esteem

In the past year, Lantian County has carried out a number of reforms, among which the impact of land reform is the most far-reaching.

Most of the existing big merchants in Lantian County have changed from landlords to big merchants.

Land reform has cut off their backbone.

This made them doubt the rapid development of their careers and worried that Lantian County will take another action to crack down on big merchants.

This kind of thing happened in the Ming Dynasty. When eunuchs were rampant in the Ming Dynasty, many merchants in the Ming Dynasty suffered a catastrophe.

The emperor was short of money, so he sent eunuchs to monopolize all the most profitable businesses in the Ming Dynasty. This is a way to kill chickens and get eggs.

After Lantian County promulgated the Land Reform Order and implemented it seriously, it quickly promulgated the Personal Property Protection Law to calm people's hearts.

Unfortunately, the previous "Land Reform Order" was too scary, which led to the subsequent "Personal Property Protection Law" being regarded as a fig leaf.

Guanzhong is not short of smart people.

It can be seen from the chronological order of the promulgation of these two laws that even Zun Yunzhao, himself in Lantian County, did not think that the Land Reform Law was completely reasonable.

If Yun Zhao really thinks this law is reasonable, he should first promulgate the "Personal Property Protection Law" instead of the "Land Reform Order" that can be forcibly split and take away the land of wealthy families.

Since ancient times, people on this land have had a special sense of disgust towards merchants.

This feeling of disgust comes mainly from the ruling class,

Their common practice is to promote agriculture and suppress commerce. In some special times, merchants are basically cheap.

Therefore, when Yun Zhao began to suppress the landlords and encourage merchants, they unanimously agreed that since Yun Zhao could attack the landlords, it was inevitable that the merchants would be targeted.

What they didn't know was that in Yun Zhao's view, if everyone tied to the land, it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to become truly rich in another thousand years.

Only by developing industry and commerce can the problem of low output and income ratio among farmers.

Protect most small farmers to stabilize the country's tax income and ensure that grain production is always at a high level.

With more small farmers, more people paying taxes, which is very beneficial for a country to have a healthy finance.

The same is true for encouraging merchants. These people are the best controlled group of people. No matter how huge their business empire is, they can crush their business empire into powder at any time in front of the state machine.

Farmers are different. This is a group of people who need Yun Zhao to please, and always ensure that they can obtain sufficient material guarantees from their own land.

If this is guaranteed, the chair under his butt is cast by steel and iron. Even if he learns from the cannibal wine pool and meat forest, the farmers will also support Yun Zhao to continue to live a lewd life of eight thousand in the harem because they have obtained their own things.

The farmers' problems are always land issues... When the prosperity comes, they reproduce very quickly, and often make people's mouths multiply several times in a very short time.

At this time, there will be not enough land. There are too many people and the land cannot accommodate so many people. In addition, if Yun Zhao is in such a position, he will be faster than anyone who rebels.

Lantian County has only been stable for more than ten years, and its population has doubled. Now, the population with names and names on the population book in Guanzhong has exceeded 10 million at the beginning of spring this year.

Due to land output, seeds, pesticides, fertilizers and industry and commerce, Guanzhong in later generations could carry 40 million people. Now, a population of tens of millions far larger than Shaanxi Province, Yun Zhao has suffered so much that he has no good life.

In the Ming world, there were not many people who could divert industry and commerce.

At this time, in addition to using troops to occupy new land all over the world, it became the only most effective solution.

This is also the reason why Lantian County boundary markers run around by themselves.

After returning from the night market, Yun Zhao has been pondering.

Feng Ying hugged Yun Zhang who had been dozing constantly and wanted to urge him to rest. Seeing that his face was gloomy, he put his son in the cradle and shook it gently.

After a long time, Yun Zhao raised his head and looked at Mingyue outside the window and said, "It's time to cultivate the self-confidence of merchants."

Feng Ying was shocked and said, "Make the merchants confident? Have you forgotten the old story of Lu Buwei?"

"Lu Buwei?"

Yun Zhao chuckled lightly, and his contempt was fully demonstrated.

"Buyers value profit and have no righteousness. Buying and selling short will have the effect of making money for the state and the dynasty, but there is no effect of advancing."

Yun Zhao laughed and said, "If there are no merchants in a country, it will be a big disaster. Let's go to bed. I will tell you the tricks when I have time in the future."

“Your knowledge is always different from what we have learned.”

Yun Zhao hugged Feng Ying's waist and laughed: "You forgot, I'm a wild boar spirit!"

Yun Zhao stayed in Lantian County for ten days.

In these ten days, no one beat the awesome besides that Japanese woman.

Therefore, Yun Zhao believed that there was no major and vicious case in Guanzhong last year, and there was no way to ask for advice from the people.

However, it is also possible that the evildoer handled the funeral well.

As for what Liu Zhubu said when congratulating Yun Zhao, the nonsense of the sea and the rivers and the world is peaceful, Yun Zhao doesn't believe a single word. With the temperament of a Guanzhong person, he can look at someone who is old and fist-like when he looks at others for a moment. It would be a big strange thing if such a thing happened.

Absolute fairness is only available in front of the King of Hell. Warlords like Yun Zhao are not worthy of such treatment.

Yun Zhao, who returned to Yushan, sent an invitation through the secretary-general, inviting all merchants from Guanzhong to select representatives to come to Yushan City for a meeting.

The meeting was very high in specifications. It was held for three consecutive days. Yun Zhao participated from beginning to end. The meeting was chaired by Xie Xu. The topic discussed was "How to actively implement the comprehensive implementation of the Personal Property Protection Law."

The merchants in Guanzhong almost went crazy after hearing this news.

They never thought that if they were merchants, they would have the opportunity to enter the court and discuss the topic of merchants with the civil and military officials of Guanzhong Wang Yunzhao.

Judging from the news from various village chiefs, Guanzhong may really have to discuss the disposal rights of his personal property this time in broad daylight.

Since ancient times, every dynasty and every generation have basically been ashamed to talk about merchants. Even in the Song Dynasty, when merchants were the most prosperous, merchants also had little say. The only thing they could do was to rely on officials to ensure that their property was not violated.

Not only the merchants in Guanzhong are talking about this matter, but even the foreign merchants who have business dealings with Guanzhong are looking forward to the results of this meeting.

This is also Lantian County, which has been silent for many years and only heard the sound of stairs and no one came down. It was the first to disclose its government affairs.

It is also the first time that it shows the world how Lantian County promotes administrative affairs.

"Discuss with the robber?"

"Come to a tiger?"

"So you fall into the trap?"

"This is the conspiracy of Yun Zhao, the wild boar!"

...

Countless discussions enveloped the sky above the Ming Dynasty, like countless crows, screaming, flying under the gloomy sky. In the northwest, the majestic wild boar that Yun Zhao turned into seemed even more ferocious.

The Great Honglu of Lantian County, His Royal Highness of the former King of Qin, did not think so. As a high-ranking official in Lantian and a great man in Chang'an City, he was the first to get the ticket to this conference.

He even told the merchants who were invited to ask for advice with confidence: "This will be an important meeting. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty should consider themselves and Guanzhong at this meeting, and finally choose a law that both parties can accept, and make a permanent example.

A certain family has received the order from the county magistrate and will review whether all the participants in the meeting are qualified with the cooperation of the secretary.

At this time, if you cry and hide your family business and property, if you do this, it will cause deviations in the rules, and don’t be clamoring again in the future.”

The merchants left the Dahonglu Mansion with their own ulterior motives.

It is naturally impossible to expose your home business to broad daylight, if...

Qian Shaoshao frowned and gave the list to Yun Zhao and said, "There are many powerful merchants who have not been included in the list of meetings this time because they have declared too little property quota.

Among them, several big merchants in mining, pharmaceuticals and construction do the most obvious.”

Yun Zhao stopped the pen in his hand and smiled: "This shows that they do not have enough trust in us. Since they do not even have the minimum trust, they will lose the basis of dialogue. In this way, they can no longer consider their interests."

Qian Shaoshao said: "Do you need additional penalties?"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "Whether one goes up and down, let them die on their own."

Qian Shaoshao smiled yin and stopped making any sounds.

Yun Zhao glanced at Qian Shaoshao and said, "Don't show this kind of expression in the future. Nowadays, those with high power should be steady. In addition, don't lock Chuchu up at home. When you have nothing to do, go find Feng Ying, chat with Duoduo and the others, and take the children there."

Qian Shaoshao said, "Isn't it right?"

Yun Zhao said: "It's embarrassing to have a brother-in-law like me, right?"

"I'm worried..."

"roll!"

Of course, Yun Zhao knew what Qian Shaoshao would say. On weekdays, he could only go to Yun's back house to visit his sister. Chuchu and the children would go in unless they were in a big day. Even if they went in, they would be trembling. They didn't know how Qian Shaoshao scared Chuchu and the others and their son.

Xie Zhi came to Yun Zhao with the document and said, "Gao Jie seems to be intentionally expanding the war."

As he spoke, he handed the document to Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao looked at the document and frowned and said, "Lantian City launched a first-level mobilization? Isn't this a nonsense?"

Xie Zhi nodded and said, "Zhang Guozhu's document said it very clearly. There are already 60,000 combat soldiers in the third-level mobilization. The impact of first-level mobilization is too great. If the whole people are soldiers, everything in Lantian City will stop."

Yun Zhao said: "Gao Jie, is Yun Juan's document here?"

Liu Cheng quickly replied: "Not yet."

Yun Zhao waved his hand and said, "Go to a document and ask."
