People's hearts in Zhizhe have finally completely settled down. In fact, it doesn't take many measures to appease people's hearts. It just requires a suitable person to say the right words.
Moreover, the emergence of the CPPCC has added another hotly discussed topic on the streets, and everyone naturally pays attention to it.
After that, there seemed to be a desire to hype up the topic, and the government also cooperated. First, it announced some details of the hearing hall meeting, and then announced that auditoriums would be set up and newspapers would be allowed to edit and observe.
Doing this will naturally expand the influence of the CPPCC meeting. Otherwise, if we all negotiate in secret, we will never be able to reach any results. We will rely on the words of these CPPCC participants to promote it.
However, this just highlights the unique status of the CPPCC. If invited, not only can they discuss politics with officials, scholars and gentry, but their speeches there may even be published in major newspapers at any time.
You must know that newspapers are the domain of the Confucian scholars. If merchants want to go up, they must have bad conduct and be used as a negative example by major newspapers. Scholars in this era have a natural rejection of merchants. Even the most tolerant Wang Xuemen
Try not to get involved with businessmen.
But things are different now. Not only can you publish it openly in newspapers, but others will even record your speech.
In the words of some people, this is no longer a matter of the virtues accumulated by the ancestors, it is simply a matter of smoke rising from the ancestral graves.
However, Ming Pao has taken the lead in publishing an article talking about the new tax system and some tidbits about the CPPCC. There are also discussions. For example, someone wrote an article saying that although the imperial court's commercial tax has good intentions, but the tax is
It is borne by the gentry and merchants in each link. However, the price of raw materials is expensive, and merchants may not be willing to bear all of it. In the end, it may drive up the price and let ordinary people who buy commercial goods bear the burden. Prices have risen a lot in recent years.
A gentry who grows cotton makes a fortune from a piece of clothing, and a weaver makes another fortune. After that, the dyeing shop and garment workshop make another fortune, and when it is put on the market, the shop earns another fortune. In this way, isn't it true?
In the end, it is not merchants who pay taxes, but ordinary people.
Some people say this, and some people jump out to object, saying that although there may be some price increases, there are so many workshops, and there are hundreds of them for garments alone, with a wide range of categories. If the price of one factory increases, if the others do not, then
A company with increased prices will have a backlog of goods. After all, this tax has not yet completely eliminated the profit of the workshop. For example, in the garment sector, although the profit per piece of clothing is thin, the profit is still there, and it is still not small.
Each workshop has different calculations. Many people will definitely wait and see, waiting for others to increase prices, but who is willing to take the lead? Although the price of ready-made garments is expected to rise in the future, even if it does rise, it will definitely not.
Not because of business tax.
OK
This kind of debate suddenly became popular. In fact, the development of Wang Xue was closely related to the New Deal. Wang Shouren probably never imagined that his theory would be changed beyond recognition by a group of people using the name of Wang Xue. Just like Confucianism, when Confucianism grew stronger
, it happened that Emperor Wu needed to centralize power, so the Confucian views naturally changed according to the social concepts at that time. In the society at that time, the court had to concentrate all its forces to wage war against the Xiongnu. Therefore, the new Confucian theory came into being. Finally,
The emperors were so great that they naturally praised them highly.
The same is true for Wang Xue. The base camp of Wang Xue was in Jiangnan, where merchants gathered and handicraft industry reached its peak. It also coincided with the rise of the civil class, changes in life, and diversification of social forms, which made Wang Xue keep up with the times. This is like Neo-Confucianism.
It was impossible for the theory to appear in Britain during the Industrial Revolution, because there was no soil for its emergence. Britain at that time needed a lot of labor, both child labor and female workers, and there was a huge demand. At this time, who does not have a short-sighted idea to advocate the so-called
The theory that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent, and that a woman should not leave the cabinet before she is married, has probably been slapped away by the British aristocrats and businessmen.
The same is true for Wang Xue's theory. At least in Wang Xue's theory, it adopts a relatively tolerant attitude towards female workers. This is the soil factor. However, after all, Neo-Confucianism has been prosperous for so many years, and society is still conservative, so Wang Xue
Although they are tolerant, they are not encouraged. Some people have suggested that women can work, but they must be limited to the silk workshop, and men should be avoided as much as possible in the silk workshop.
This is the soil of Wang Xue. Wang Xue and the New Deal complement each other. In order to adapt to the needs of the New Deal, Wang Xue is changing, and in order to adapt to the needs of Wang Xue, the New Deal is also having an indelible impact on Wang Xue.
Therefore, among Wang Xue, there are many Wang Xue disciples who are concerned about workshops and commerce, and some even become great Confucians because of their profound theories, and become the first targets of all newspapers.
This kind of debate is a bit like the debate among so-called economists in later generations, except that their vision is still very limited and more microscopic.
As soon as the controversy started, both parties with different opinions rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight. Of course, the major newspapers took a happy attitude towards them, and they were eager for you to fight, fight, and fight. Only then did everyone pay attention and pay attention.
Newspapers are easy to sell.!
In order to criticize each other's views, both sides continued to quote classics. However, there were not many classics to follow in ancient times, so they began to go around looking for their own so-called evidence, such as on-site inspections, or squatting outside garment shops staring at prices and smelling something.
With a hint of fishiness, I immediately became excited and climaxed. Then I immediately went back to write an article, unilaterally announced that I had won a new victory, submitted the article, and then waited for the other party to find the so-called evidence again.
Come and slap yourself in the face.
When Xu Qian was in Hangzhou, he often read newspapers. He was a bit dumbfounded. In the past, the public opinion in Zhejiang was firmly in his hands. He would be round or flat if he wanted. But now,
It seems a little out of control. Originally, he was creating momentum and wanted everyone to pay attention to some CPPCC. Who knew that this newspaper was full of all kinds of slapping articles, and so-called scholars and great Confucians were arguing.
Some topics about the future impact are sensational and scare people half to death, while others are full of guns and sticks, and are very sharp-tongued.
If you read these articles that exaggerate the facts and are sensational, it will seem as if tomorrow is the end of the New Deal and everyone will be doomed the day after tomorrow. This analysis is sound and logical.
Xu Qian has seen this technique many times. This type of person belongs to Zhang Tianshi, a great Confucian scholar. They rely on this to attract attention. If you don't analyze something explosive, how can you make the front page? How can you occupy half of the newspaper?
Those who are eloquent and retort are taking advantage of everyone's fear. You see, Zhang Tianshi, they have made the future so scary. If it doesn't collapse tomorrow, it will collapse tomorrow. At this time, everyone urgently needs to eat some chicken soup for the soul.
, in order to make yourself feel better, so other types of articles naturally become in demand.
In fact, these two types of people are not good people. They are just catering to everyone's psychology and gaining attention.
Is it interesting for a group of guys who don't distinguish between grains and grains to think about this?
Xu Qian shook his head, but it didn't matter. People's hearts were settled now anyway. As for this kind of dog-eat-dog article every day, it actually attracted everyone's attention. The sky will not fall. In a sense, Xu Qian was very happy about this.
I’m happy to see it work, because there are already many such annoying people in the world. If you don’t attract them to think about this, tomorrow they will have to think about that. If someone works hard to figure out the iron fist of the
Isn't it so embarrassing for Xu Butang? Xu Butang still wants to go to the dark side on the road of corruption.
"It's time, it's time to return to Beijing. It's really late." Xu Qian sighed. He couldn't take care of things here in Zhejiang, and he didn't have time to take care of them. However, things in the court were urgent and he needed to return to Beijing now.
, on the one hand, it is necessary to calculate the accounts clearly, and on the other hand, it is necessary to collect business taxes immediately.
As a result, some officials from Zhizhe Province were summoned to the General Military Yamen by Xu Qian.
Zhao Ming and others all came.
Everyone sat down, and Xu Qian smiled and asked what the governor's Yamen was busy with recently.
Zhao Ming immediately said: "Your Excellency, on the one hand, lowering the official position is to prepare for the new tax system. Your Excellency, in the Ministry of Household Affairs, must be in charge of the new tax system. Although it has nothing to do with lowering the official position, the transfer of some powers in the Finance and Grain Bureau does.
We also need to make some preparations to avoid chaos. In addition, the official plans to set up a shrine bureau to find ways to raise some money and recruit some people to be responsible for cleaning up the streets. What do you think?
"
After the New Deal, the affairs of the yamen have become more and more arduous. It is impossible for the servants in the yamen alone to undertake these affairs. Xu Qian has already prepared the precedent of establishing various bureaus. Zhao Ming is the follower of Xiao Gui and Cao, and almost takes
This is the same method as Xu Qian.
The so-called Shrine Bureau is mostly modeled after the Shrine Supervisor in the palace. The Shrine Supervisor specializes in cleaning. However, the name must not be called the Shrine Bureau, otherwise it will be taboo if it is spread out. However, Zhao Ming borrowed it in order to express clearly.
this word.
Xu Qian nodded and said: "This is a very good idea. You don't have to worry about the money. The Ministry of Finance will allocate it when the time comes. If you can't call the Shen Palace Bureau, just call the Health Bureau."
Zhao Ming nodded quickly and said: "As for the responsibilities, on the one hand, we need to recruit people to clean the streets. On the other hand, we must also have some rights and responsibilities, such as punishing those who discard garbage at will or those vendors who do not follow the rules."
After sorting it out, my subordinates came up with another idea, which is to use the Health Bureau to support the Health Bureau and fine people, and these fines..."
Oh My God······
Xu Qian almost touched his forehead and called him a cheater...
