Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 414 Debate in Fengtian Temple

Until he sat in the chair in Fengtian Hall, Chen Yunfu was still thinking about the two things Chen Xi said yesterday, and kept feeling emotional in his heart.

This old man is not simple.

With enough courage and vicious vision, let alone the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xi is definitely a natural born business giant in the post-modern era.

You can't underestimate the ancients.

Just as he was thinking about it, dense footsteps sounded in his ears. Dozens of people from the Military and Political Academy in Beijing arrived one after another, including Hu Sizong, an alternate.

Yang Shiqi, the big housekeeper of the Central Committee counted the number, and then woke up Chen Yunfu in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, everyone is here."

The most exciting thing here is Lan Yu. He thought that today's meeting was a mobilization meeting specially held by Chen Yunfu for him before the Northern Expedition, so from the moment he came in, his face was full of joy, and he was full of arrogance. Who knew As soon as Chen Yunfu opened his mouth, he dodged somersaults.

"Everyone, the big guys are here today to discuss two matters in Guangdong."

"Guangdong chief envoy Hu Sizong has arrived, Bo Yuan, please come and do this report."

Hu Sizong, whose name was called, nodded, stood up and saluted humbly, and then recounted what Chen Xi had said to Chen Yunfu yesterday, and the Fengtian Hall was filled with murmurs.

22 members of the Military and Political Academy walked, except Lan Yu and a few other generals, including the old father-in-law Shao Zhi, which one was not an old fritter who had been immersed in officialdom politics for many years. The two things Hu Sizong said were only in their hands. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood Chen Xi's deliberate calculations.

"Is this a businessman involved in politics?"

"Your Majesty, this dog has evil intentions."

"Setting up a federation of industry and commerce under the Yousi Yamen is not doing business under the banner of the government."

"Guangdong has a federation of industry and commerce. Will other provincial capitals follow suit? Then the central government should also set up one."

"I'm afraid there will be rumors among the people, saying that the imperial court supports those merchants and lets them plunder the people's wealth. If a few bugs appear, it will be dirty for the imperial court's face."

"Let's not talk about other things, let's just say one thing, Chen Xi used their Chen family's property as compensation, and publicly raised money from the people for his own use. Isn't this just using the money of the people to make money for himself? What he paid was the family property of the people. , Earn money into his pocket, talk about dividends, can he disclose the real account to show the public, is it difficult to make two accounts?

It is also very difficult for the imperial court to supervise. Even if it can be supervised, it will be done by the local government. Now that Chen Xi has established the Guangdong Federation of Industry and Commerce, he will have an official status. At that time, who can guarantee that the Guangdong and Guangzhou provincial governments will There is no collusion between officials and businessmen in Yamen, which is easy to breed corruption. "

At this moment, almost the entire Fengtian Hall was full of dissenting voices, almost no one supported Hu Sizong's proposal, and they all expressed their opposition.

The resistance was so great, and Chen Yunfu himself did not expect it.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Businessmen involved in politics, regardless of whether they are qualified to share administrative power, even if they only occupy a title, it is unacceptable for thousands of years of traditional Chinese bureaucracy.

How can a businessman who smells of copper be qualified to work under the same roof as the court officials?

Shao Zhi glanced at Chen Yunfu, and noticed Hu Sizong's embarrassing look on his son-in-law frequently, so he knew it.

Hu Sizong should have agreed with Chen Yunfu on this matter in advance.

I just don't know what my son-in-law is thinking.

Chamber of Commerce and Industry, private equity.

Even if his son-in-law intends to encourage business, but the strength of this support is not too much.

Shao Zhi suddenly realized that he might really be old, and his brain couldn't keep up.

Forget it, let your son Shao Ziheng speak up.

Shao Ziheng has been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years now, and his father's eyes can understand it in his heart.

If my brother-in-law didn't support Hu Sizong's proposal, how could he hold a meeting to discuss it.

The heart has its own place, and the mind is hard to decide.

To put it succinctly, my brother-in-law is also a little hesitant now.

"Everyone." After figuring out the root of it, Shao Ziheng broke his mouth and said: "Everyone, listen to me, it is true that there are many disadvantages that everyone can see in Hu Fantai's proposal, but there are also advantages.

The Federation of Industry and Commerce aims to unite all sectors of industry and commerce for coordinated development. It has been 15 years since the imperial court resumed business. In the past [-] years, has the imperial court's finances become healthier and the country's prices have become more and more stable?

The imperial court has money, let alone our salaries, just talk about whether a country is getting stronger and stronger.

When the people have money, the place becomes more stable, the number of bandits decreases day by day, and the public security environment gets better and better. Moreover, if the people have money, many deaths and injuries can be reduced in famine years.

Looking at the two aspects together, it can be said that the country is rich and the people are strong, so it is stable and prosperous.

Isn't this a benefit?

Let’s talk about the artisan workshop industry. The defense of the country cannot be separated from the artisans, and the local development cannot be separated from the artisans. Which of our food, clothing and housing can’t be separated from the artisans?

But this is not enough, we should increase support for the craftsman workshop industry, just like the telescope before, is it a weapon on the battlefield, we should find a way to make the craftsman workshop industry develop faster, so as to serve our country and His Majesty King Yu The great Kyushu invented more useful war weapons and production weapons.

The Federation of Industry and Commerce is such an organization organized by the imperial court and actively participated by the local industrial and commercial circles. This is a good thing. It is conducive to the integration of the industrial and commercial circles by our imperial court, coordinated and coordinated development, and promoted the orderly and beneficial progress of the country. , Otherwise, the prosperity of the peasants and the sluggishness of the industry and commerce will become top-heavy.

Let’s talk about private raising of private wealth. People’s money is indeed very important, but if you keep money in your pocket, you can’t give birth. The people are so ignorant, it’s better for businessmen to use this money to create greater wealth and income, and make the country rich. At the same time, it can also enrich the people. "

As soon as Shao Ziheng's words fell, there were voices of opposition immediately.

"It is the nature of businessmen to seek profit and forget righteousness. Is Shao Xingxing too naive to expect them to make money and distribute it to the people?"

"Businessmen don't divide, but the court can."

Shao Ziheng chuckled: "Since it's about the pockets of ordinary people, then this matter cannot be taken lightly. I didn't say that businessmen can do whatever they want. We can set up a special office to deal with this kind of private equity chamber of commerce. Let them supervise this new type of business operation. If a businessman wants to make accounts, he must go through the audit of this government office, so that the financial statements are completely open and transparent. Anyone who makes false accounts and is found out will be severely punished by the court."

"Then what if there is collusion between government and businessmen?"

Shao Ziheng smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed: "Even if we don't pass the proposal Hu Fantai said and prohibit the implementation of these two policies, wouldn't there be corruption in collusion between government and businessmen in the local area?

If you want to completely put an end to the collusion between government and businessmen, there is only one way, follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao, and hunt and kill all businessmen across the country!Even the merchants are gone, so there is still talk of collusion between the government and the businessmen, but without the merchants, the officials themselves will still be corrupt, so how about killing all the officials? "

"Shao Xingxing! What do you mean by that?"

"My meaning is very clear, you can't give up eating because of choking."

Shao Ziheng looked directly at the past, and argued with reason: "What is the bad news before you start, and you are afraid to move forward, so let me ask you, is there any national policy that has no disadvantages at all?

One of the books written by His Majesty King Yu is called "Material Dialectics", which has clearly pointed out that subjective policies inevitably involve objective contradictions, and the two are complementary.

We are the makers of national policies, and we should understand this truth even more. We will never allow food to be given up because of choking, because once we give up food because of choking, this country will only stand still and never make progress! "

"As long as a policy is not completely tyrannical and tyrannical, but has a positive side, we can try to deduce whether it can be formulated and implemented through discussion and checking for omissions. What is this called? It is called crossing the river by feeling the stones.

If you don’t walk fast, you must walk steadily, but the most important thing is to walk, if you don’t walk, everything is in vain. "

Chen Yunfu, who spoke in this impassioned speech, turned his head frequently, looking at Shao Ziheng with approval and satisfaction in his eyes.

Appreciate the growth of the latter and be pleased with my cultivation over the years.

In the 20 years since I came to this world, I have actually cultivated many officials with progressive ideas. Their existence proves that my time travel is not a dream.

These new generations of officials who have grown up are the most precious wealth left to China in this time and space!
