Section 273 New Thinking (2)

Liu Che smiled slightly, looked at the ministers, thought about it for a while, and continued: "As Chao Gong said: The people, in the upper part of the herds, seek profit like water and go down, and the Quartet has no choice!" ”

Chao Cuo and Jia Yi successively focused on the problems of industry and commerce and agriculture, which is also the confidence of Liu Che to dare to say that businessmen are not without benefits to the country.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, especially in the last twenty years, as long as you are not blind, you have seen how businessmen have swelled rapidly.

Therefore, how to deal with the relationship between industry and commerce and agriculture, and how to define the status of the two in state administration, has become a topic of common concern to the whole society.

On this issue, pretending to be an ostrich is obviously not Liu's way of thinking.

Moreover, people in the world are not stupid.

There is no doubt that doing business and getting rich is much more promising than farming.

How to control and curb the speed of development of industry and commerce has become a question that every politician must think about.

On this issue, Jia Yi and Chao Cuo can be regarded as pioneers.

The thinking and ideas of these two set the tone of the Han Dynasty's policies towards industry, commerce and agriculture.

Just as Chao Cuo said in the Guisu Theory more than ten years ago, if you want the people of the world, especially the peasants, to go to farming instead of doing business, it is useless to just desperately shout that farming is good, farming is good, that is, farming is good.

We have to let the people know the benefits of farming! (to open up the way of their wealth)

Because the governance of the people is a very complex matter, the ruler should know that the people's desire to pursue profit and a better life is like the water flowing down to the southeast and northwest (seeking profit is like water going down). The Quartet has no choice).

This is the core idea of the theory of Guisu.

At the same time, it also represents the attitude of the ruling class towards the increasing prosperity of industry and commerce.

So far, the Han family is very sober.

If the income from farming could not support their families, then they would definitely go into business. And then it creates all sorts of social problems.

And blindly pretending to be an ostrich, pretending not to see these problems, sooner or later will cause chaos!

The order of the world may be broken!

It is precisely because of the sober understanding of these problems that in the past 20 years, the emperor of the Han family has lightly paid for his meager endowment, and his fundamental intention is to compete with industry and commerce for population. Let the people farm to keep food and clothing.

However, whether it is Chao Cuo or Jia Yi.

They are limited to the limitations of the times. We can only see the development trend in three or five years.

As a human being, Liu Che clearly sees the future development trend.

In fact, even now, an agricultural revolution is quietly taking place.

Landlord families in Guanzhong and many wealthy areas of the world. Farm tools began to be iron-liked. At the same time, ploughing cattle also began to be used.

In the coming decades, this revolution will sweep across the country and last for hundreds of years.

Among them, the key driving factor is precisely the world's iron merchants.

In order to make money, it is these guys who constantly push and improve iron farming tools. It has made it well adapted to the needs of farmers.

Moreover, Liu Che is very clear. The general trend of social development in the future will inevitably be that more and more people will be liberated from the land to engage in other undertakings.

Because, the population will be more and more.

No matter how hard Liu Che tried, he couldn't develop a modern agriculture in his short life.

Without the industrialization of agriculture, the output of the land would not be able to feed all the people.

As for the Indian colony with high hopes, after all, it is just an ambition, whether it can be done or not, or whether it is a two-way street, even if it really succeeds, how many people at the bottom can share the benefits of the colony?

Yes, a way out of the coming population explosion must be found.

Instead, industry and commerce are a good place to go.

Of course, these things are not suitable for being put on the table.

In ancient China, there was a set of rules for the game.

Liu Che sorted out his thoughts and said to the ministers: "Lonely taste to read history books, the former Taigong Wangfeng was sealed in Yingqiu, its land was evil, and the people were widowed, so the Taigong persuaded the people to be meritorious, extremely skilled, and through fish and salt, then the people returned to it, and it was strong enough to make up, so Qi Guan with clothes and shoes in the world, Haidai and went to the court, and then Qi Zhongwan, the pipe was repaired, and the light and heavy nine mansions were set up, so Heng Gong was a tyrant, the princes of Jiuhe, and a Kuang world! ”

In ancient China, no matter what the political family did, they had to find examples from ancient times to explain the correctness of their policies.

Liu Che cited historical facts.

The sons of a hundred schools of thought, the things of the sages recognized by people.

Guanzi is a great sage respected by the emperors of the Han dynasty in the past dynasties, and at this time, people are recognized as a model for people and ministers.

Whether it is Huang Lao or Confucianism, their economic policies are actually mostly extended from the thought of Guanzi.

Similar to Confucius in later generations, the pipe at this time was a basket, and anything could be pulled up.

Liu Che looked at the ministers and asked: "The public is all famous ministers, the humerus of the Han family, well-read, what is the situation today, not to mention, the princes have also seen it!" Liu Che stood up and asked Chao Cuo, Zhang Ou, and Yuan An: "Why can Guan Zhong use the princes of Jiuhe to make the world, but my Han family has no such benefit?" Affected by it? ”

Hearing Liu Che's words, the ministers all lowered their heads and blushed a little.

The Han family shouted and shouted to the merchants for more than 20 years, and as a result, the merchants became more and more prosperous in the shouting and killing of the imperial court.

Its industry is constantly expanding, and the scale is snowballing, and it is better every year.

These businessmen made money, either buying and buying land in large quantities or spending extravagantly.

The imperial court did not benefit, nor did the peasants.

Whether it was Jia Yi's policy back then, or Chao Cuo's Guisu theory back then, to this day, facts have proved that they have gone bankrupt.

It's just that because of the people in power, the rulers, no one dares to say this problem to their faces.

However, everyone knows that the time has come for the commercial and economic policies of the Han family to be changed!

Later, when Little Pig came to power, a series of economic policies implemented were almost all implemented.

Everyone really knows that if you don't change something, the world will be over.

Now, as the crown prince, Liu Che has raised this question head-on, but no one can give a positive answer.

Liu Che smiled, looking at these silent ministers, he knew that he had taken back the initiative.

So, he took a step forward, knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, Cheng Zheng and Zhuo, who are from Linqiongjia, recently found Erchen and said that they were willing to give 100,000 yuan to praise the ramp, this is what Erchen said, businessmen in the country, and it is not without benefits!" ”

These words immediately triggered a strong concussion like a stone falling into the water.

100,000 dollars!

The annual financial and tax income of the Han family is only 400,000 yuan!

This money is equivalent to a quarter of the annual income of the Han family.

All the ministers inevitably became short of breath. (To be continued......)
