After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 526 On Business
"..."

Li Chenan looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan, how many dogs have bitten this kid in his previous life!

Su Yi'an and Liu Xiayin were also taken aback, but saw the young man grinning and said:

"It's quite fat... Where's your pot?"

……

……

A cluster of bonfires lit up in the small yard in the backyard of Sanwei Bookstore.

An iron pot hung over the bonfire.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan had already put it into the iron pot and took care of the dog.

Su Yi'an swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and did not forget the business. He looked at Li Chen'an again: "Prince Regent, if farmers are not allowed to do business, how can they increase their income?"

"Capital is always profit-seeking!"

Li Chenan also withdrew his gaze, looked at the two of them, and said:

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, this is a class concept gradually formed under Confucianism for thousands of years."

"Among them the businessman has the lowest status."

"In society, businessmen are looked down upon by almost everyone, but there are many people who actually envy those businessmen in their hearts."

"why is that?"

"Because the merchant has silver!"

"Although businessmen have low status, they live in the best houses, wear the best clothes, and eat the best meals!"

"Let's take a closer look. Most of the scholars in the world are the children of merchants."

"Why? As Mr. Su said, studying costs money! Peasants with high status have no money to let their children study. As a result, farmers will always be farmers, and even their children and grandchildren will be farmers. !"

"Businessmen are different. Their children receive the best education, and their children are successful in school. If they enter the court and serve as officials, they will become soldiers!"

"A businessman with a scholar in his family is no longer a pure businessman, he has become an aristocratic family!"

"For example, you, Mrs. Su!"

"The Su family started their business as a business. While accumulating a lot of wealth, they also cultivated many talented children."

"The children of the Su family have produced many officials, which has made the Su family a century-old family in the south of the Yangtze River, and thus entered the ranks of the wealthy families of Ningguo."

"So, in your opinion, is it wrong to pursue that copper smell?"

Su Yi'an was startled for a moment, he himself is not a businessman, he is a great Confucian in Ningguo!
But after hearing Li Chenan's words, he suddenly understood a problem——

If it wasn't because the Su family in the south of the Yangtze River had money, if the Su family was a farmer, would he be able to read so many books without any hindrance?
This is simply not possible!

Not only can I not open the school of Sanwei Bookstore here, but my life is also facing the loess and the sky day after day, year after year!
That pursuit of copper stink... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.

"If you think there is nothing wrong with this, then the country will liberalize business, boost business, give businessmen confidence, gradually change the low status of businessmen, and allow them to make money in a bold, aboveboard, and law-abiding business. wrong!"

Su Yian was speechless.

Liu Xiayin's heart trembled——

He couldn't refute it, because the regent's analysis was right!

Aren't farmers working hard to serve the land for the two taels of silver?
They are also seeking the most benefits, but their benefits can only be produced from the fields, which becomes insignificant, which cannot be compared with the benefits obtained by businessmen.

It is also the pursuit of profit, so it is unreasonable to suppress businessmen to pursue profit!
He knew that a huge change in Ningguo was coming!

This is not just a change in social class. If the court really implements the regent's view of governing the country, the entire Ning country will be swept by this huge wave.

Those who can conform to this point of view, and those who can grasp this opportunity keenly, will stand on the top of the wave!

And those with outdated ideas... will be swallowed by this wave in an instant.

"If you want all children in the world to receive a fair education, there are only two things."

Li Chenan spoke again, and the two of them immediately restrained their minds and listened carefully.

"First, everyone is rich, especially the farmers who have the largest number of people. They are not stupid. Of course they will let their children go to school and become officials!"

"Secondly, everyone in the world is rich. This is deceptive and harmful..."

Li Chenan didn't explain this sentence, he said again:

"Then how to make children who still can't read books able to go to school?"

"This requires the country to be rich!"

"Only when the country is rich can we have money to open voluntary schools, so that children from poor families can study in voluntary schools...No money is needed!"

"The country's current tax revenue mainly comes from agricultural tax."

"It's not because of how high the output value of agriculture can be, it's just that there are the most people farming!"

"The peasants who have the least money bear a large amount of taxes in the country. In fact, this tax is not much. Once there is a war, the imperial court will inevitably increase the tax. It is still added to the peasants, making their life worse. .”

"But if commerce develops, merchants earn more money, and the main body of national taxation will change from farmers to merchants..."

Li Chenan looked at the two of them, and they once again showed extremely shocked expressions.

This is another huge change beyond their imagination!
The success of this change depends on whether businessmen can earn more money to bear the tax transferred to them.

If successful, the agricultural tax that has existed for thousands of years may be greatly reduced, and farmers' harvest from the fields will naturally increase.

But how to ensure that businessmen can earn more money?
This is the law for the revitalization of industry and commerce proposed by the Regent!

It turned out that he had already had a mature idea when he became the regent. This idea can be called a great pioneering work that has never been done before!
No wonder Hua Boss said that those officials in the court are all his followers.

No wonder Hua Boss Confucianism said that he might be the light of hope for Ningguo.

The reason why the word "maybe" is used lies in whether this change can be realized smoothly.

Of course Su Yi'an knows the difficulty, but it is precisely because of its difficulty that it is like a plum blossom in bitter cold, like a pine tree proud of snow... When it is done, Ningguo will leap into the air and shine splendidly.

Defeat...the country will not be a country, and all the pioneers will be recorded in the annals of history and become the sinners of history.

Will it fail?

From Su Yi'an's point of view, only when Li Chen'an controls the rudder of Ningguo's ship will it not fail.

Because only he knows what kind of shore this ship is going to sail to.

No wonder Hua Manting said that he must be the emperor of Ningguo!
Just when Su Yian was thinking about this, Li Chenan spoke again:
"Simply reducing farmers' taxes is still not enough to make them have the ability to resist risks...It is necessary for them to achieve wealth growth while businessmen gain benefits."

"How does this need to be done?"

"This requires a huge development of the handicraft industry!"

"To improve the production efficiency of products, merchants must expand the scale and improve equipment, and their workshops need a large number of workers!"

"After the agricultural equipment has made great progress, farming does not require so many people!"

"Part of the farmers can go to the fields and go to the merchant's workshop to earn money."

"They go to the fields and kill two birds with one stone."

"As for how to do it... Mr. Su, if you go to the capital and chat with Wen Zhuyu, you will know."

"Let's eat dog meat first."

Baozi Xiao raised his head and looked at the night sky, when he was approaching Zishi.

How much gold is this wasted?
Xiao Baozi's heart ached.

Hurry up and go back to the inn after eating the dog meat!
If a farmer wants to go to the field, he must drive the cattle to the field!
