"Private business open workshops?"

Princess Pingyang was overjoyed, she came for this matter, Xiao Ming obviously figured out her thoughts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, she had always had doubts about Xiao Ming's idea of being keen on business, so she asked, "Why does the emperor have a soft spot for business?" ”

Xiao Ming smiled, "The eldest princess is wrong, industry is the pillar of commerce, so for me, it is more important to pay attention to industry than to business." “

After a pause, he said: "The strength of a country depends on the wealth of the people, and the wealth of the people depends on the quantity of property, and the amount of property is due to industry. “

Princess Pingyang frowned slightly, although her vision was not as wide as Xiao Ming's, but she understood the meaning of Xiao Ming's words.

So he said: "The emperor is going to let the merchants build a large number of workshops this time? “

Xiao Ming nodded, the root of this change is to revitalize industry, and the lack of war materials in the north this time made him deeply realize that Qingzhou's industrial capacity is insufficient.

If he wanted to build an industrial system similar to that of Western countries, he had to encourage the participation of ordinary people and businessmen in industrial construction.

If there are more workshops, the products of Dayu will be enriched, and when the products are abundant, they can be sold to other places, so that the people will have money again, and the country will become rich and strong.

"Yes, this time I will not only encourage the construction of workshops, but also prepare to sell the steam engine to merchants so that they can build workshops in the territory of the six states."

This is something that Xiao Ming has hesitated for a long time, the steam engine can not be hidden, as a driving force, he must be popularized among the people to be able to play its greatest value.

With the sale of the steam engine, he would open up the textile and other industries to the merchants, and ensure that the people had food to eat, and then ensure that the people had clothes to wear.

"Steam engine?" Princess Pingyang was shocked.

This steam engine has always been a very mysterious thing, and she has only heard of it and never seen its true face, and now Xiao Ming bluntly said that she wants to sell the steam engine, which makes her unable to react at all for a while.

Xiao Ming thought that this was all that Princess Pingyang said, and he instructed: "Eldest princess, you tell them that this is a rare opportunity, and it depends on them whether they catch it or not." “

Princess Pingyang nodded, "Your Majesty, after I go back, I will summon them over to talk about this matter, and I will also beat them for the emperor." ”

Xiao Ming is naturally happy with this, and all dynasties have been very strict with the royal family, so they are not allowed to do business, they are not allowed to engage in politics, and they are raised like pigs.

Princess Pingyang said another word about business and commerce, Princess Pingyang said goodbye and left, at this time Xiao Ming continued to write the holy decree, which was the beginning of the rise of the industry in Liuzhou.

The next morning, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to read out the holy decree, formally establishing the establishment of supporting and protecting private private workshops.

At the same time, in the decree he proposed three new terms, the first being capital, the second being industry, and the third being corporation.

The main purpose of this decree is to use the power of the imperial court to support the development of private capital, and four policies are proposed in the decree.

The first policy was to abolish the checkpoints in the north, so that the north could be integrated and goods could be sold freely in the north, and at the same time fully take over the mines of the rebellious feudal kings and rebellious wealthy families, and transform and expand them to form a mining enterprise controlled by the imperial court, and build modern mines and smelting workshops.

The second is to open up advanced technologies and machinery such as steam engines and textile machines to the people, and at the same time transform the previously backward processes and equipment.

The third is to open up the textile, sugar, soap and other industries to the people, and the fourth is to require the Qingzhou Bank to provide support for individuals, and at the same time, the imperial court should also use the silver to encourage the development of private capital.

As soon as this policy came out, there was an uproar in the court, and in their opinion, the emperor's change was too big.

"Your Majesty, businessmen don't think about production, they don't do farming, and this agriculture is the foundation of the country, and if it is like this for a long time, there will be problems with this grain." Fiji said.

"The emperor thinks twice, and the ministers are not against the emperor, but they just hope that the emperor can consider agricultural affairs." The ministers said one after another.

When the productivity is insufficient, Xiao Ming will naturally not die to give up agriculture, so he said: "There is no contradiction between promoting business and persuading agriculture, after all, there are a few people who can do business, and in the future, the government will not only pay more attention to agriculture, but also use grain seed drills, steam pumps and other equipment for agricultural affairs." “

Fiji and the others whispered when they heard this, and Xiao Ming's words reassured them.

Pang Yukun did not raise any objections this time, because this was within his expectations, Xiao Ming had encouraged business development before, but this time it was just more thorough.

In his opinion, the fundamental reason for Xiao Ming's determination this time was that the north was basically stable now and could make great strides forward, so that they would be able to have sufficient materials to defeat the barbarians in the future.

Seeing that all the ministers had no opinions, he said: "If there is something to say in the court today, the content of this holy decree will be implemented in the six states after this early court, and if someone obstructs it at that time, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers bowed and said.

After experiencing the Yu Ming incident, these ministers are obviously much more honest, and now Xiao Ming is in power and his position is unshakable, so they have to be honest in front of Xiao Ming.

Nodding, Xiao Ming looked at Pang Yukun, "Pang Shoufu, how much silver is still in the treasury?" ”

"Back to the emperor, now there are only thirteen million taels of silver." Pang Yukun said simply, he knows the treasury best.

Xiao Ming had a headache, this long war had impoverished him, he said: "Take out six million taels of silver to support and encourage the development of private workshops." “

"Six million taels!"

The ministers in the court gasped, this time Xiao Ming was ruthless.

The expressions of the ministers were seen by Xiao Ming, and he said to the courtiers: "After talking about supporting and encouraging the development of private capital, I will talk about you, so much silver is put into the people, if you dare to stretch out your hand, I will cut off your hands, and at the same time, no official is allowed to do business and seek personal gain, otherwise once it is found, he will be dismissed immediately and punished as a crime." ”

In the Western world, officials are businessmen, and businessmen are officials, so the state always serves capital.

But now that Dayu is still an official, he doesn't want officials and businessmen to collude to damage the interests of Dayu, so he reminds them in advance.

He knew very well that at the same time as he let go of this capital beast, a double-edged sword hung over his head. ’

He didn't know exactly when this double-edged sword fell, but at least one thing was clear to him, after this meeting, the Dayu Congress burst out with the same spark of capital as Western countries.
