Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 443
Now that you have come to Guangzhou, how can you not visit the hottest Guangzhou Stock Exchange right now?

Take a look at this cross-age product, and look at this ascendant financial industry.

"stock."

Sitting in the so-called VIP room on the second floor of the Guangzhou Stock Exchange, looking at the stock code of the Chen family firm with Guangzhou 00001 written in his hand, Chen Yunfu put the stock back on the table and looked at Chen Xi in front of him. smile.

"Chen Gong, you can be regarded as my number one expert in business in Ming Dynasty."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Since Mr. Chen's business name entered the Canton Exchange, it has made a lot of money."

Chen Xi said cautiously: "Thanks to the great blessing of the king, my Chen family's stock is currently quoted at 450 taels, and the old man's family has indeed earned tens of millions of taels. Now that the country has just pacified Mobei, the whole country is jubilant, and the old man is willing to give 200 million taels." Two, for military expenses."

"Hahahaha." Chen Yunfu shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Chen is able to make money, and Gu is also happy for you, but Gu is not here to rob. He really just came to congratulate Mr. Chen."

This Chen Xi is quite up to the mark, but he is too much treating Chen Yunfu as a bandit. When he came to Guangzhou, he must be here to scrape land?

Chen Xi smiled awkwardly.

"Gu invited Mr. Chen to come today. One is to see the prosperity of our Canton Stock Exchange. The second one is also at the invitation of the heir. I want to ask Mr. Chen if he thinks the business tax of Guding is too high."

The local business taxation in Ming Dynasty is a step-by-step taxation method. The tax ratio for revenues like the Chen family has reached a ratio of four to one, because didn’t the economic department of the central bank go to Liaozhou before, and the tax ceiling in Liaozhou is only ten The tax is one, so when the news spreads to the country, it seems that the local tax in Zhongzhou is too heavy.

Hu Sizong is the parent official of Guangdong, and Guangdong is a large commercial province in Zhongzhou. Therefore, in order to worry about the serious loss of Guangdong businessmen, he reacted to Chen Yunfu to see if it can be reduced as appropriate.

The corners of Chen Xi's mouth turned bitter. Of course he hoped that the country would reduce taxes for businessmen, but when Chen Yunfu asked whether it was true or false, who knew it.

Anyway, I am earning enough now, and being stable is more important than anything else, and it doesn't matter if I earn less.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old man feels that the current tax laws of the country are quite appropriate."

"If Mr. Chen says it is appropriate, then Gu will not change it."

"No change, no change."

Seeing Chen Xi talking nonsense with his eyes open, Chen Yunfu couldn't help laughing.

"To be honest, since Gu is here, I specially invited you, Mr. Chen, just to reduce the burden for you businessmen."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xi's eyes lit up.

"You Guangdong have always been our pioneer province in the commercial field, and now you are also our economic pilot province. What's so good about it? Of course, I think of you Guangdong first."

Chen Yunfu explained the reason why he planned to reduce Guangdong's burden: "The tax is too heavy, and you don't earn much. Businessmen, who don't want to earn more money? If you can't make money from the national policy, you will inevitably come from it." If you want to make up for it in other places, you should say that is the reason.”

Although Chen Yunfu's words were not explicit, it meant that a big capitalist like Chen Xi understood clearly.

For the money that the national policy does not give above, we can only find a way to save it from the workers under our feet.

Squeezing wages and increasing the construction period are the most primitive ways of capital exploitation.

"The common people work hard for a month, earning so little money day and night, and there is not much money to be squeezed out of them. Therefore, to reduce the burden on you in Guangdong, you must also reduce the burden on the workers."

Chen Xi immediately assured: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this old man will immediately ask all the companies of my Chen family to process money for the workers immediately."

Don't listen to what capitalists say about giving workers processing money, just treat it as farting.

If Chen Yunfu believed it, then his head was kicked by a donkey.

What is processed money.

Adding from 110 Wen to [-] Wen is also processing money. It is not enough to work from five hours a day to six hours.

So Chen Yunfu would not listen to what Chen Xi said at all, and said with a smile.

"Gu here also has a plan, Mr. Chen, listen to it."

"Respectfully listen to the hadith of the great king."

"That is to take Guangdong as a pilot, implement a five-hour working day, and set a minimum wage standard, and give workers at least two days of rest every ten days a month."

Minimum wage, clear working hours, ten days off.

These are the three basic policies to protect workers' rights and interests from capital exploitation.

Daming definitely doesn't have it now, and it's popular enough, so Chen Yunfu still thought of using Guangdong as a pilot province.

Here is the foundation and development soil for the pilot.

Chen Xi smacked, and after thinking about it in his mind, he repeatedly agreed.

What an easy account.

As long as the imperial court can reduce taxes, the merchants will make money no matter what, and it is the imperial court that really suffers.

Now it is equivalent to the imperial court distributing part of the tax money paid by the merchants to the common people. The merchants lose only a few days of work every month.

It can't be considered as less work, just recruit more workers and transfer shifts.

The truth is very clear. In the past, there were [-] workers in a workshop who worked overtime around the clock. Now that the working hours are controlled and there are more ten-day holidays, the workshop needs to recruit about [-] more workers to ensure that the production will not drop. twenty jobs.

The increase in production positions also means an increase in labor demand.

Guangdong is not densely populated, only a few million people. Once the demand for labor increases, there will be a situation where major firms compete for workers. In other words, in order to ensure that their production volume does not decrease, there will be competition in the recruitment market to increase wages. Phenomenon.

After calculating these clearly, Chen Xi was a little worried again.

"Your Majesty, this old man is thinking, there are not many people in the land of Guangdong, and if a large number of people are plowing deep into the fields, will it affect the farming in Guangdong?"

Look at the awareness of others, look at the awareness of others.

As a businessman, he began to worry about the national affairs of grain production for Chen Yunfu.

This was something Hu Sizong didn't expect, and turned to look at Chen Xi frequently.

Whether the common people farm or not has nothing to do with you, do you care?

"The only thing we need is to let the people of Guangdong take the lead in the world and gradually get rid of farming."

When Chen Yunfu said this, even Hu Sizong was taken aback.

"My lord, food is the most important thing for the people."

"You don't need to worry about this matter, you have your own plan."

Chen Yunfu raised his hand to stop, and said to Hu Sizong, "Sizong, you just need to finish the matter that Gu explained first, and I hope that when you come to Guangzhou next time, there will be earth-shaking changes in Guangzhou, and you can be better. thriving."

"Yes."

Hu Sizong didn't persuade him any more, and agreed.

He knew that his vision was no better than Chen Yunfu's. He was looking at the whole country, Kyushu, and not just a province of Guangdong.

In a game of chess in Kyushu, there are places that produce food, and there is no shortage of Guangdong.
