MTL - My Great Qin Cannot Die-Chapter 588 Concentrate on reforming business, abolishing and modifying unsuitable...
Regarding the reform of the official system of the Daqin Empire, Ying Zheng originally planned to proceed step by step, first establishing it according to needs, and then planning further from the daily operation.
However, in just a short period of time, the official system has become chaotic, and even gives people a feeling of bloated, which makes Ying Zheng realize that a complete reform of the official system is imminent.
In particular, changing the official offices exists because of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, which the Daqin Empire must do.
This is one of the best ways to avoid the overpowering of courtiers. Of course, combined with the tenure system and the avoidance system of officials, in the future Daqin, there will be very few power ministers.
Of course, as the first emperor, he also got Li Kang's memory. He naturally knew that it was impossible to completely eliminate the appearance of powerful officials.
After a while, Cai Zhong, the capital of the Industrial and Commercial Administration, Cai Jiu, the official of the Internal Affairs Office, and Zheng Guo, the official of the Zhisu Nei, rushed to the Zhangtai Palace and saluted Ying Zheng, saying.
"My ministers and others pay tribute to Your Majesty, His Majesty is ten thousand years old, Daqin is ten thousand years old--!"
Seeing the arrival of the ministers, Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand, then looked at Zheng Guo and the others, and said, "You gentlemen don't need to be polite, take your seats."
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Guo and others took their seats, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "How about the support and system of my Daqin for the merchants and merchants?"
"Including the Law?"
Hearing this, Zheng Guo and the others looked slightly moved, all frowning and thinking, but they all knew that just before, Ying Zheng had just ordered the revision of Jinbu Law to improve the status of businessmen within the empire.
Even with the establishment of the Industrial and Commercial Administration, the imperial court began to encourage merchants, but this was only the beginning, and the merchants within the Daqin Empire were not prosperous.
After all, from the beginning, Daqin itself has been focusing on the fundamentals and suppressing the bottom. It is extremely difficult to change the national policy that has been rooted for hundreds of years.
After thinking for a while, Cai Zhong and Zheng Guo looked at each other. Cai Zhong got a signal and then said, "Your Majesty, with the improvement of Jinbulu over the years, there has been a gradual increase in businessman activities."
"However, there are some issues in this, the minister and the internal history of Zhisu are discussing."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng opened his mouth to Cai Zhong and said, "What is the specific problem, let's talk about it!"
He knew in his heart that although Cai Zhong and others did not have the business insights of later generations, they were still members of Ji Ran's family, and their understanding of business and economy was far superior to him in specific aspects.
He can only give one direction, and how to implement it requires these people.
Therefore, Ying Zheng attached great importance to the ideas of these people. He was extremely clear that among the hundreds of schools of thought, there were a large number of talents, and this was the reason why he did everything possible to force them to bow their heads.
"promise."
After nodding his head in agreement, Cai Zhong heard Ying Zheng speak, and could not help but clear his thoughts in his heart: "Your Majesty, the development of commerce and economy lies in circulation."
"And I, the Qin Dynasty, have a fixed law, but all the people in the country are not allowed to leave without a reason, and even if they leave, they need the official office to issue a guide."
"The formulation of the commercial tax has not been completely clarified, and even whether some items can be bought and sold by private merchants has not been clearly defined."
"And the **** of merchants and merchants..."
"In Daqin, it is an iron law that anyone has to keep guards privately. If they are worried about the safety of goods, the imperial court can guard them, but they need to pay the employment fee."
"As for the delineation of business tax, it should be based on appropriateness and should not exceed 50% of their net profit. The tax office is about to be established, and the future tax office will also participate in it."
"In the future, not only business tax, agricultural tax, and personal income tax need to be paid, which is a complicated and cumbersome matter."
Having said that, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Cai Zhong: "The law of not leaving the place of residence without a reason can be abolished, but all those who leave need the guidance of the local government office."
"Otherwise, in the event of chaos, such a large empire will be extremely difficult to track down. I have the intention to support the merchants, but the premise of all this is to ensure the stability of the empire."
"Salt, iron, copper, etc. must be monopolized by the state. This point, you and Cai Jiu two people will discuss, and then work out."
"I don't mind the flow of merchants and even the people of the country, but everything needs to be within control."
Having said that, Ying Zheng turned to the ministers and said, "The reason why I have summoned you is that I intend to concentrate on rectifying business, elevating the status of Daqin merchants, ensuring business prosperity, and controlling all risks."
"So, now that you are working on this matter, within three days, I need a reasonable and complete strategy."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Cai Zhong was happy and worried. They could feel Ying Zheng's emphasis on business, and they were worried that they would not meet Ying Zheng's expectations.
When Cai Zhong and others left, Zheng Guo turned towards Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I, Da Qin, have always been focusing on the fundamentals and suppressing the bottom line. Now I will further let go of the merchants, I'm afraid..."
After drinking a sip of tea, Ying Zheng turned towards Zheng Guo and said, "You are in charge of the internal history of millet management, you are in charge of the official office of millet internal history, and it is clear to me that the peasants of Daqin live in poverty, and these leaders are the foundation of the Daqin Empire. ."
"And all taxes are mainly based on them. It is better when there is no famine. Once there is a famine, they have to be displaced..."
"The reason why I further release merchants is because the existence of merchants is a reasonable thing. The empire has suppressed merchants over the years, but they still do not let them perish."
"Over the years, I have revised the Jinbu Law, loosened some restrictions on merchants, and levied high business taxes. You should also know something about the historical bureau of Zhisu."
"When the imperial court is more tolerant in the future, and when the collection of commercial taxes forms a cycle, the imperial court can begin to try to reduce agricultural taxes. Therefore, the development of commerce is also a good thing for the people of the empire."
"Of course, it still needs the guidance of the imperial court~www.novelbuddy.com~ Otherwise, it will get out of control."
Hearing this, Zheng Guo's words came to his lips and swallowed again. He knew that the real life of the people of Daqin was the real situation of the people's life. This is the implementation of land reform, which made the people stable again.
Otherwise, that kind of life can be described as dire straits.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, I admire it!"
Zheng Guo was a sincere person, and Ying Zheng's words convinced him, and with the reforms of merchants over the years, the imperial treasury was indeed gradually enriched.
Especially in this decisive battle in Mobei, it was because of the reform of the merchants that the Daqin treasury was not turbulent, and it could even undertake the next war.
This is also the reason why the First Emperor of the People's Republic of China carried out the reforms of merchants and merchants over the years, and there was no strong resistance in the court.
