"Your Majesty Shengming!" Fan Xun received a clear answer from the Son of Heaven, and immediately knelt down and said.

The ministers also followed and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

This is the biggest doubt or suspicion of the Han courtiers about Liu Che's commercial tax policy.

But it's not because everyone hates business!

For such a thing, just shout slogans.

What kind of gentleman is righteous, villain is profitable, when it comes to the court, how many people are left who really believe?

Many, many years ago, when Li Kui changed the law in the Wei State, the entire Wei State shouted and shouted at the merchants to kill, and what was the result?

In the end, the Wei State gave birth to the first official merchant in Chinese history, Bai Gui.

Even if it is the benchmark of the current Legalists, they shout every day about the mistake of 'going to the peasants to divide the end'.

You go and see, every month Chao Cuo's family banquet is held, among the guests, how many people are surnamed Tian and how many are surnamed Yang?

Since the old Liu family Taizong, after the abolition of Lu, the "Golden Cloth Law" has been completed and the system of Guanjin has been rushed.

In this world, businessmen are already prosperous, cooking oil with fire.

The businessmen, who hold countless resources and wealth in their hands, have long been facing officialdom and politics, ready to move.

No one wants to live a precarious life.

Especially when your wealth has accumulated a number that you can't even believe, you won't rest on your laurels.

The merchants of the Warring States period have long taught the merchants of the Han dynasty a good lesson, what is the highest level of businessmen?

The answer, of course, is the integration of government and business, I am the master of the market and the master of the government!

The power of the management of Zhongtong is handed over to the mountains and seas. made the State of Qi the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Later, Fan Li went from official to businessman, which is equivalent to writing the first apocalypse. It shows the way for those who come after it.

By the time of Bai Gui, it was finally completed. From then on, the merchants knew, 'Wo Cao, it turns out that money can still be made like this!' ’

So, Guo Zong, Wu Shilu and widow Qing studied one after another.

Lü Buwei even became the idol of all the current businessmen - he became the prime minister of a country with a businessman, during which he slept with the queen and even asked the monarch to call his father.

Just ask, there are so many idols, so many role models. Businessmen in the world, who can not be tempted?

Even if he himself can't think of this layer, but the strategists, account offices and staff members under his command can't think of this layer?

As a result, businessmen dreamed of squeezing into high society and becoming the one who controlled their own destiny, not that their own destiny was dominated by others.

They have money, people, resources.

But there is no way!

A merchant or a member of the merchant clan can be an official. can be a magistrate, can be in the home of the prime minister and Jiuqing, and attend the guests.

However, one can never be a decision-maker. You can't even become a high-ranking official!

Suppose, if you want to try to do that, then. There will be an invisible ceiling waiting for you there.

No matter how capable you are and how talented you are. Even if you are a character like Li Kui and Wu Qi, this invisible ceiling. will always be an obstacle for you.

Liu Che looked at the ministers kneeling all over the hall, and the threads were connected together, and one by one the doubts were solved.

Why did Zhang Shizhi stay in obscurity in Langzhong for ten years, until Yuan Ang recommended him, he became famous in one fell swoop, and became one of the nine kings in just a few years, taking charge of the power of the court captain, admonishing the king, and going down to An Lishu, and holding the crown prince as a prestige machine in the middle?

Do you really think that except for Yuan An, everyone else is blind?

Do you really think that Zhang Shizhi is bold enough to dare to play the crown prince?

Yuan An's recommendation is a stepping stone, representing the scholar class to recognize and accept Zhang Shizhi as 'his own person', but Zhang Shizhi must prove to the scholar class that he is 'his own person', so in addition to drawing a clear line with the businessman, what is the best way to show that he is a scholar?

Of course, he is upright and not afraid of the powerful.

Is there a better way to prove it than the crown prince?

Liu Che also understood why the two rivals of Cheng Zheng and Zhuo Wangsun in Linqiong agreed to his conditions back then, and fulfilled them conscientiously so far, without playing any tricks.

Do you really think they have changed their profit-seeking nature?

No!

They just feel that they can get more out of that money.

Including security that money can't buy.

"It's also the right ......" Liu Che sneered in his heart: "The scholar and civil official group can't even tolerate the eunuch group, and they want to kill them all, even the Xungui group can't stand it, and at the first opportunity, they will be put on the political stage, and even the emperor wants to become puppets...... If they can stand a bunch of nouveau riche entering the market to grab the right to speak and make decisions, then hell! ”

Therefore, the so-called hatred of business is an excuse.

It's the same as eunuching the country, relatives messing with politics, and harem politics, it's just an excuse.

In Chinese history, there are so many dynasties, who caused the fate and fate of these dynasties?

Eunuchs? Relatives? Harem? Emperor?

Perhaps!

But the civil official group really has no responsibility at all, from the beginning to the end it is a pure and lovely little white flower, loyal and patriotic, a true doctor?

The crux of the real problem is that the two major forces of Han politics, the group of foreign relatives and nobles and the group of civil officials and doctors, will never want to see the rise of the third pole, nor will they want to see one more player participating in the game's show.

For the scholars and the princes.

Emperor, you want to raise taxes?

OK!

As long as it is not added to us, it does not matter if you add it to the merchant or the peasant!

It's none of your business.

Even if some people oppose and some people are dissatisfied, it is only a small handful, and the people who really occupy the vast majority are too lazy to confront the emperor for the idea of not knowing whose family?

There is only one reason why these people can really be together and face the emperor at all costs - the emperor wants to let the merchants enter the market to grab food with them.

These guys can't even tolerate the emperor's group of domestic slaves and eunuchs, and can they still tolerate untouchables and people from the city to compete with them?

The wealth of the Sanghong sheep in later generations is narrow, and the lifeblood of the military state is held, and some people say: Please cook the sheep.

Thinking about these things clearly, Liu Che's heart suddenly burst into tears and laughter: "I see...... I was worried before...... But why bother, I knew it was ......?"

But that's what politics is.

Many times when you think that those politicians may want to be, reality often tells you that the lower limit of politicians is that there is no lower limit, as long as you can still live, can be free, can seize power, even if the flood is monstrous, so what?

If the politician really has principles and discipline, then there will be no stubbornness, no sighs of Yang Guang and Li Longji, and no Liu Jin's 9,000-year-old majesty!

"It's right to think about ......it," Liu Che sighed in his heart: "Even in the heyday of the civil official group, Wei Zhongxian and Liu Jin, the two emperors, released domestic slaves, could bite them and roll on the ground, all kinds of kneeling and licking, in this era, I am a monarch with divine power, born sacred, as long as I don't hurt their fundamental interests like Wang Mang, but collect some commercial taxes, subsidize military expenses, and don't use them to repair gardens, they are poor and luxurious, they are full of food and run out to be a businessman to be a bag Qingtian?" ”

Thinking like this, Liu Che couldn't help jumping a little.

Think about how much he has fought for today, how many benefits he has promised in private, and how many people he has tried his best to win over.

Outcome......

Liu Che shook his head, but after thinking about it, he comforted himself: "But in this way, my image is much better than the direct, simple and rude policy, even the businessmen, I'm afraid there is nothing to say, at least, to ensure the stability of the political situation and the social river crab, this wave is not a loss!"
