Chapter 344: Robbery from the rich and giving to the poor
Zhu Yu glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, then quickly looked away, "If so, isn't it supporting merchants?"
"If you don't support me, someone will. If the country wants to develop, it will always reach that point!" Zhu Jun said: "I have read a lot of books with Mr. Li. Oh, I also read some history books. When the dynasty was founded, in the early stage
Most of their strategies are to recuperate and recuperate, which is similar to our great cause.
In the middle period, when the national power is at its peak, the atmosphere of hard work and simplicity will turn into a trend of excess.
There is no way, there are more rich people, the people are well fed and clothed, and when they have money, they naturally have higher pursuits.
Just like a farmer who has had good harvests year after year, why can't he build two more houses for his family?
If the family still has spare money, the children at home can also go to school.
This is the rule.
However, although the attitudes towards merchants in all dynasties were similar, there was no strict management method.
So, in the end, the merchants lost control!"
Zhu Jun took a deep breath and said, "In short, raising taxes is absolutely impossible. We can't always focus on farmers' three-acre land, nor can we always focus on small businessmen's income.
A reasonable plan must be formulated.
To put it bluntly, it is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure!
Dad, you can also understand it as robbing the rich and giving to the poor..."
Zhu Yuanzhang understood the big principles mentioned above, but he still felt unhappy.
But when he heard that he was robbing the rich and giving to the poor, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Robbing the rich and giving to the poor, we like it!"
"Kongyin must be severely punished, but you can't stop killing with killing. It's okay to kill, but you can't all be implicated." Zhu Jun said: "Kill a group of people, shock them, and then let them take the blame and perform meritorious service."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Who taught you to say that, Li Shanren or Li Yanxi?"
"No, I just thought that there are two rivals nearby who are watching. Who knows if they will publicize that you like to kill innocent people indiscriminately?
This is not conducive to attracting talents for our country!"
Zhu Yu said with a smile: "Father, I think Lao Liu's idea is good. We can't keep staring at the villagers' three-acre land. We have to change the target and rob the rich and give to the poor!"
"This matter is not easy to handle!" Daye's treasury is not full, but agricultural taxes are low, and the government monopolizes many industries, so he is not short of money.
"It has to be done even if it's difficult. Anyway, I'll make it clear that all the Shen family's businesses can be taxed..."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Write a note and we'll think about it!"
"Dad, do you think I'm good enough to write a book?" Zhu Jun couldn't help but shake his head, "Anyway, I've told you the method. Whether you want to implement it or not is up to you.
Also, as for Li Shanren, please don’t involve him anymore. When I was not in the palace, he managed the palace quite well!"
After saying that, Zhu Jun blinked at Zhu Yu and ran away.
"What are you running for? Come back!" Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking when he saw Zhu Jun running out in a hurry. He was very angry, but the more he shouted, the faster Zhu Jun's feet became.
When Zhu Jun disappeared, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and turned to look at Zhu Yu, "You will cooperate with this bastard, did you tell him?"
Zhu Yu gave a dry laugh and then shook his head, "I didn't say, how could I think of collecting business taxes? Who are the people behind those famous merchants? If you ask them to give money, isn't that just cutting their flesh?
When you arrested Shen Wanqian last year, those businessmen were afraid to enter the capital, causing prices in the capital to skyrocket.
If they join forces to cause trouble, it will be very troublesome!"
"Then tell me, who is instigating Lao Liu behind his back?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"I think there should be no one. There are only a few people around Lao Liu. Although the Shen family and his son are businessmen, there is no reason to cut their own flesh.
Li Shanren wouldn't do this either. If he proposed this method, wouldn't he be hated to death by businessmen all over the world?
He was working as an errand in Lao Liu's house, how could he dare to harm Lao Liu so openly?
Then he is too courageous.
After much thought, I think it was Lao Liu who thought so.
He is loyal and chivalrous, and he is also very kind to the people. When he heard about the tax increase, he must feel sorry for the people."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, Zhu Yu's analysis was correct.
"Then do you think this method will work?"
"In short, it is better than raising agricultural taxes." Zhu Yu said: "Isn't the reason why we are attractive because our agricultural taxes are low?
If additional taxes are raised, this advantage will also be offset.
However, it cannot be implemented on a large scale, and it is easy to be resisted.
However, Lao Liu's idea is not bad. Smuggling is common along the coast. Rather than letting them destroy the coastal area, it is better to open up the qualifications. The court can make a fortune and at the same time be able to control these people.
As for those who take risks, there is always a way to deal with them!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. The coastal area was indeed a worry for him. If the problem there was not solved, it would not be a good thing for the cause.
"What about that?"
"I think the opportunity for this incident lies with Lao Liu!" Zhu Yu said with a smile.
"You mean, Yingtian Chamber of Commerce?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"That's right, Father, think about what Lao Liu said about the national debt, and then think about what he said today. It's obvious that he has his own way in mind.
He was indeed friendly to merchants, but he was not blindly nice to them.
While using merchants to develop people's livelihood, they also set strict rules for these merchants to behave themselves.
With one hand of cakes and the other of a big stick, I managed these people to be docile and achieved the effect Lao Liu wanted."
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes, "Really, this bastard is really capable."
Zhu Yu said with a smile: "So, how about letting Lao Liu implement this method in Fengyang? In addition to this empty seal case, those people are the best pawns. If they want to survive, they have to charge into the battle. !”
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately overjoyed, "Yes, this is a good idea!"
"Lao Liu has really grown up. This method is reasonable and well-founded, and it is already possible to implement it. In this way, it not only solves the problem of loss for thousands of years.
Without disturbing the farmers, it also increased the revenue of the treasury. It really killed three birds with one stone!" Zhu Yu was very happy in his heart. The more Zhu Jun made progress, the more relieved he became.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy in his heart, but when he heard what Zhu Yu said, he suddenly felt a little disgusted in his heart, "Huh, don't let that bastard hear this, otherwise, his tail will definitely be raised to the sky!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought of him and ran over to scold him. I feel uncomfortable in my heart.
I was actually scolded by my son for losing my temper. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I told you?
Zhu Yu shook his head helplessly. His father wanted to save face and suffer the consequences!
"If there is no problem, then I will write the paperwork!" Zhu Yu said.
