Miaomiao, the more Chen Yue thought about it, the more he felt wonderful, Wang Yin's idea was really at the extreme, so he covered up Chen Yue's seizure of the caravan and plundered the property, and said that the Fan family took the initiative to cooperate with the army to make sacrifices to deal with the enemy, and Fan Tianyu stayed in Qingshi Fort because he was completely afraid that the news would leak so that the enemy would get the news.

As to whether they will be detained or take the initiative to cooperate with the army, I believe that the Fan family will choose the latter statement. After all, cooperating with the army can be regarded as a great achievement, and not cooperating with the seizure is only caring about oneself and not knowing the general situation, so even if they are full of reluctance, the Fan family only has a dumb person to eat Coptis chinensis and admit it.

Moreover, the evidence of the Fan family's smuggling of grain and iron weapons to the enemy is also in Chen Yue's hands, if he continues to be unforgiving, he is afraid that the court will be discredited. For businessmen, interests are the most important, even in order to get back the detained materials, I believe that the Fan family will make the right choice.

The basin seized by the Xishan army was removed, even if the Fan family no longer came to do business, merchants from all over the world, such as the Huang family, would naturally gather, and now Qingshikou has a large amount of goods from the Khalkha tribe, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and various skins, I believe that these are enough to make all the merchants tempted. And the Fan family is probably the first to come over and come to get a piece of the pie.

Yang Mou, the real Yang Mou, the means used clearly told the opponent, and the opponent had to act according to his own instructions, Wang Yin deserved to be the chief staff of the first assistant Zhou Yanru!

"These businessmen who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, only care about their own interests, have no family and country in their hearts, and jump up and down at the slightest loss, they are really moths of the country!" Yuan Kewang said hatefully, although Wang Yin's strategy completely eliminated the current problems encountered in Qingshikou, it was cheaper for the Fan family. Yuan Kewang, who was in his twenties, was still an angry young man, and when he thought about the pig iron and grain in the Fan family's caravan, he was extremely angry.

"Businessmen, they only know how to pursue profits, where can they take care of the country! If there is a fifty percent profit, they will take risks; If there is a 100% profit, they dare to trample on all the laws of the country; If there is a 300 percent profit, they dare to commit any crime, even if it is at the risk of killing their heads. And from the Ming Dynasty to the grassland, a piece of three or four catties of the most ordinary tea brick can be exchanged for a war horse, and the profit is more than ten times! Chen Yue sighed.

Listening to Chen Yue's words, Wang Yin's eyes lit up suddenly, "My lord, your analysis of these businessmen can be described as penetrating and to the point!" ”

Chen Yue's old face was slightly red, where did he say this, it was clearly said by Lao Ma, and he just changed it slightly.

"Shinong, businessmen, and merchants are the lowliest people, and this is the case from ancient times to the present, and the imperial court should have strictly controlled them a long time ago, rather than letting them go freely." Yuan Kewang, who received an orthodox Confucian education, was most disgusted by the merchants, believing that they were all unearned.

"Brother Wang's words are wrong again, Shinong and industrialists are indispensable, and there is no distinction between them. There are no farmers, everyone has no food to eat, we all know this, but without merchants, commodities cannot circulate, take our Qingshi Fort as an example, if there is no Fan family, Tian family, Huang family, these Jin merchants, how can it develop rapidly, and the population and soldiers have reached such a scale. Chen Yue said with a smile.

Yuan Kewang's face turned red, and he wanted to refute but didn't know how to speak.

"It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, as long as they are well controlled, they can also benefit the country and the people, but our Ming Dynasty is too strange about the system of merchants, because Daming has no business status at all. All the merchants are scholars, and they or their families have the fame of being a scholar. And the imperial court did not levy any taxes on these people, so the business of the scholars was done all over the world, and the family assets were millions every day, but the imperial court did not get the slightest benefit. ”

"The commercial tax that the imperial court can receive is the salt tax of one million taels per year, but what about other taxes, hundreds of millions of people in the entire Ming Dynasty, countless goods are produced and traded, if all merchants pay taxes and all trade pays silver, then the annual tax revenue of the imperial court is not only tens of millions of taels, and why bother to make up your mind about the poor peasant grain tax!"

Chen Yue sneered, the longer he came to Daming, the more he was amused at all kinds of strange systems in Daming, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang designed so many strange systems, and Daming can still exist for nearly three hundred years, which is really lucky.

"How can the court compete with the people for profit?" Yuan Kewang couldn't help but retort, "If the imperial court collects all taxes, how can the small people survive?" ”

"How do small people survive? Why don't you ask the peasants how to survive, the gentry occupy seventy percent of the land in the world but don't have to pay taxes, the gentry don't have to pay taxes when they do business, all the taxes of the court fall on the powerless farmers, why don't the scholars and doctors of the court ask how these farmers survive? Why are there people in turmoil in the world, but Brother Wang should think about it. ”

Wang Yin shook his hand to stop Yuan Kewang from continuing to refute, but stared at Chen Yue's face with blazing eyes, and asked slowly, "If you are in power, how should you treat businessmen?" ”

Chen Yuetan said angrily: "If I am in charge of the power of the world, I should implement the integration of the gentry to pay taxes, whether it is the gentry, the royal family, or even the emperor himself, as long as he does business, he must pay taxes." With the support of a huge commercial tax, the state no longer has to make up its mind about the peasants' land tax, and as for the peasants who cultivate the land, their burden will be reduced. And as long as the peasants are not heavy in taxes and can eat their stomachs, the world will not be chaotic! ”

......

"Yokoyama Gong, my lord, he's just weird!" After the meeting, Yuan Kewang found Wang Yin and said angrily.

"What, do you think what he said is wrong?" Wang Yin looked at Yuan Kewang with a smile.

"Of course not, it's just, it's the ultimate apostasy!" Yuan Kewang said without thinking.

"Then if the imperial court had followed the method that the adults had said from the beginning, would you think the world would be chaotic?" Wang Yin continued.

"I ......" Yuan Kewang thought carefully about Chen Yue's words, and suddenly couldn't speak.

"If the gentry are willing to pay taxes, why is the court out of money, why can't they even take out the salaries of the soldiers of the Nine Sides, and have to increase taxes in order to exterminate the Manchu Tartars? If the imperial court is rich, why should it repeatedly increase taxes during natural and man-made disasters? If taxes are not increased, why will the peasants everywhere be unable to eat and take risks to rebel? Zhong Xian, haven't you thought about this truth? ”

"I'm afraid that all the Manchu officials and gentry know this, but no one wants to say it, because that will be a knife on themselves. But if the Ming Dynasty no longer exists, who will protect their own interests? ”

"My lord, is he really right?" Yuan Kewang stammered.

"My lord, although he hasn't read many books, he is born with extraordinary knowledge, and he knows the Six Classics without knowing a word, I'm afraid that Taizu is not the only one!" Wang Yin shook his head and turned to leave, leaving only the stammering Yuan Kewang.
