Liu Che spread out the map, and Sima Tan, who was waiting for the edict next to him, said: "Your Majesty, Jinguan, does not refer to a separate place, according to the Han law, Hangu, Xiaoguan, Wuguan, Linjin Pass, etc. are all Jinguan, the so-called Jin, to pass also!" Southeast Jinguan, is placed in the spring and autumn period, is located in the Huaishui, chokes the southeast to rush, clamp Huaisi, commonly known as Guanzhou! ”
Sima Tan pointed his finger to a red dot in the Huai River on the map and introduced this ancient strategic place to Liu Che: "In the Zuo Chuan, it was recorded that in the nineteenth year of Zhuang Gong, the Ba people committed Chu, and Chu Zi was defeated in Jin, which refers to this place!" ”
He sighed slightly and said: "Since the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao has dominated the world, copied the pass in Guanzhou, set up a fleet of building ships, and checked the passing merchant ships, and was not allowed to enter and exit unless there was a rumor...... Emperor Xiaowen for 12 years, quit Zhuguan, don't use to pass on, so far, Guanzhou is wasted! ”
Sima Tan's introduction, in general, expounds the facts from an objective point of view.
After listening to this, Liu Che nodded.
As an emperor, he naturally knows how strict the Han family's talisman system is.
According to the provisions of the Chinese law, there are two kinds of transmission.
One is the official transmission, which is issued by the county order or the county government.
It is sealed with a bamboo tube, and the surname of the bearer, the place of origin and the place of departure are recorded on it. And what to do.
The other is a private identification form issued by a local official at the county level. This kind of transmission is stricter than that used for official purposes.
Not only the identity information and name of the holder. All of them are written on it, and the person's height and physical characteristics are also recorded, as well as his past criminal records.
It's like a pre-century version of a passport!
The person who holds the pass, whether it is official or private, every time he passes the pass, the soldier who guards the pass and checks the pass needs to stamp the pass on his pass, and in addition, he must issue two copies of the inspection document.
One copy is given to the bearer. The other one is given to the superior.
This document will be used as a testimony to the bearer at the next pass of the pass.
In the later Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang built customs defense documents everywhere, which may have originated from this at the earliest.
Therefore, the traversers of later generations, if they are not soul wearers, in ancient times, do not run around, otherwise, an illegal passer. It is very likely that he will be arrested by the government as a wanted criminal or a fugitive slave and put in a small black room......
However, it is not always so strict.
In the twelfth year of Liu Che's imperial grandfather, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the son of heaven waved his hand. Almost all customs clearances have been abolished.
It allowed the people to come and go freely and trade, so that the Han industry and commerce flourished rapidly.
However, in the past 20 years, the big businessmen who are rich enough to rival the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. They popped up one after another.
Liu Che almost understood why even Zhou Yafu had to get involved in this matter.
Changed to anyone else. You can't help but kick it!
In China, rich businessmen. He has always been the lamb to the slaughter of the ruling class, and wants to use money to control the regime like the West? In China, this is completely impossible.
The army with the barrel of the gun in hand, the noble royal family in the high, any one of them can pinch these merchants to death with a finger casually.
The military group jumped out this time, but it was just a pioneer, a temptation.
Liu Che could imagine that in the future, more and more interest groups would jump out and bite a big bite on the businessman's body.
Even Liu Che himself, when he heard that Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was in the eleventh year, a mere Guanzhou could collect 30 million yuan in toll tax a year, and he had the urge to restore all the cards immediately.
It's just that Liu Che endured it.
As a traverser, Liu Che knows very well that setting up a wide range of checkpoints can bring a lot of tax revenue in the short term, but in the long run, it is undoubtedly killing chickens and eggs.
The development and expansion of industry and commerce requires a relatively free and relaxed environment.
There is a need for a broad circulation market.
It is conceivable that if the checkpoints of the Taizong Xiaowen period were restored, even more Jinguan would be opened.
Industry and commerce, which are still thriving, will decline in less than ten years, and it may take 20 or even 30 years to develop such a powerful industry and commerce as it is today.
It's just that......
Liu Che hesitated.
The merchants also died on their own!
Look at what these guys have done in the last twenty years, right?
Almost all businessmen, after making money in real business, were busy showing off their wealth, busy expanding, busy exploiting the workers and peasants more harshly, they forced countless peasants to bankruptcy, and led to the creation of countless problems.
These guys wielded money, and obtained titles and status that were only available to military nobles in the past.
Think about it, how the people of the Celestial Empire in later generations hated those nouveau riche coal bosses, and you can know what the current public opinion thinks of the businessmen who get rich.
In particular, the entire mainstream public opinion is exalting the era of 'agriculture-oriented'.
The merchants literally dug their own graves, and by the way, even the coffins were ready!
And that's not all!
Some merchants, after making their fortunes, began to provoke the patience of the rulers.
For example, last year, there was a case of reselling official grain in Hedong County.
In addition to the unlucky ghost of Liu An, the king of Huainan, who was involved in it, there was also the big merchant knife room of the Qi country.
God knows if he, a loan shark businessman and gang leader, doesn't charge a good protection fee, and comes to complicate this death, whether he thinks he is impatient or what!
It can only be said that if you don't die, you won't die!
For another Chinese emperor, he would not tolerate this kind of capital attempt to enter the political realm.
Liu Che will not tolerate it even more!
Because he knows very well what will happen when capital controls the government.
The fate of the Two Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, as well as the capitalists of the West in later generations, deeply educated Liu Che that if capital was coerced by government, it would definitely be a disaster.
Capital is such a thing, but there is only profit, not the motherland!
"Let's make them suffer a little first!" Liu Che thought to himself.
If these businessmen don't teach them a lesson, give them some color to look at, sober them up, and indulge them further, maybe they will still think that this country is theirs!
Liu Che then instructed Wang Dao: "Go and write back to the king of Jiangdu, tell him, about the shipyard craftsmen, I will issue an edict, and order the three kingdoms of Qi, Jiaodong, and Jiaoxi to be transferred to be capable, as for the matter of Jinguan, the country's major affairs, as a courtier, it is better not to talk about it casually, tell the king of Jiangdu, and have less dealings with the merchants of Jiangdu!" ”
This matter, obviously, it is obvious that it is Wu Chu's businessman, who successfully impressed Liu Yan, a stupid man, with money and beauty, and made him jump out to oppose it.
Liu Yan, a stupid man, should also pour cold water on him and make him sober!
