"Liu Yu was still shrewd. In the third year of Daguan, the Supreme Emperor visited the two Zhejiang provinces. When he arrived at Yuhang, Liu Yu prepared thirty-eight dishes and seventy-two dancers to entertain the Supreme Emperor. He made the Supreme Emperor happy and was promoted. Arrived in Beijing."
Qi Xingyun looked around. Everyone lowered their heads and pretended not to hear this.
What a pitfall the Supreme Emperor is. No wonder Chao Gang will be in chaos so quickly. It turns out that what goes up and what follows follows.
Fortunately, Liu Yu not only had the means of flattery, but was also very capable in specific matters. After becoming a bachelor, he really wanted to work hard, but he managed the government affairs in an orderly manner.
However, Qi Xingyun will not completely believe him. Compared with Zhang Tingyu, Liu Yu has no character and integrity and focuses on profit. Such a person cannot be given the important task of top secret.
Qi Xingyun asked those first-class merchants to get together. He was more opposed to the collusion between merchants, and in his heart, he was actually a little... disdainful of the current civil service system.
For example, those people who came from Dongling Academy...
They did nothing but disgusting things, so he subconsciously thought that Qin Nanshu was the same person.
"Qin Nanshu, I know you are encountering difficulties now. The small businessmen cannot afford to pay for sea trade. Every sea trade involves gambling their lives, and the lives of their whole family, but they are eager to participate in this matter." Qi Xingyun thought for a while and said with a smile.
If you have misunderstood someone, then you can help him solve his urgent problem and you will be settled.
"No, money and silk touch people's hearts. This is also the reason why Qin Qingtian in the beginning has become a notorious Qin dogtail grass now." Qin Nanshu said with helplessness and a bit of pain, he became an official until he is now It seemed that it was his first time out of Beijing and he was a little overwhelmed.
"You have banned small cargo ships in the open sea. There are ten cargo ships with three thousand materials in total. After running for two years, only one of them sank. Big ships can withstand wind and waves. It is definitely imperative to eliminate small ships in the open sea. If you don't eliminate them today, they will be eliminated tomorrow. They also have to be eliminated." Qi Xingyun said with a smile.
Qin Nanshu said with a mournful face: "I have also thought about this, so wouldn't they want to scold me to death? A small businessman doesn't have much goods to begin with, how can he afford three thousand materials?"
"Listen to what I have to say, and then build a chamber of commerce, let small businessmen unite, and make one ship. This will save the big ships from being empty and the small ships that are in danger are too busy." Qi Xingyun looked at Qin Nanshu and said.
This idea was a weapon for Yajili to sail across the ocean. Only by establishing a joint chamber of commerce did it become possible to go overseas on a large scale.
Only a few nobles could not build a powerful maritime empire like Yajili.
Qin Nanshu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he clapped his hands vigorously: "In this way, those big ships in the airport can also be used. Wonderful!"
"There is one more trick. Come here and I will tell you." Qi Xingyun said with a smile.
Any tips?
Qin Nanshu, in his opinion, there is almost no solution to the problem. Is there any other way for the emperor to solve it?
"Insurance?" Qin Nanshu looked at the emperor suspiciously and said, "Isn't this a disguised tax increase?"
Cleverly set up names and exact taxes.
Qin Nanshu was the first to think of these four words. As soon as this decree came out, it would be strange if the people at the ferry didn't call him a dog.
Qi Xingyun looked at Qin Nanshu's expression and knew that he disagreed with this matter.
Qi Xingyun's idea came from Yang Ruoqing's notes.
Last time Yang Ruoqing wrote a long note about ocean trade, which introduced various wonderful methods in detail.
And this idea is one of them.
The name is, Ocean Accident Compulsory Insurance.
This kind of name and practice had never been heard used before. When Qi Xingyun saw it for the first time, he thought it was a coincidence, but after looking at it in detail, he no longer felt so.
This kind of insurance is social welfare and a trial of the social security system.
The man in the family went out to sea to fight for his life, and the boat capsized, the family lost its backbone, and the entire family was completely destroyed. In a high-risk profession like oceangoing, compulsory insurance is very necessary.
In the social public system, all people share the risk of an accident and receive certain compensation after an accident. This is a completely necessary social security system.
But Qin Nanshu obviously understands that he levies excessive taxes just to create a clever name.
Daqi's social security system is very crude, but it was already relatively advanced compared to the previous Southern Dynasties.
In the capital, all kinds of protections are provided, from care for children to orphans and elderly people, to burial after death.
And it is not a face-saving project, but a real system.
And Qi Xingyun is looking for a social security system that belongs to Daqi.
It’s not just ocean-going shipwrights and merchants who engage in high-risk occupations, but also heavy-duty hazardous jobs such as mining and smelting.
These are all real high-risk occupations, but with the strength of Da Qi Chaotang, it is obvious that these cannot be shouldered by the Chaotang.
Qi Xingyun is looking for a development method that can continue a virtuous cycle.
Qin Nanshu still shook his head and said: "The emperor wants to take it from the people and use it for the people, but the people don't think so. They will think that the minister is just setting up the name, and then the minister is really Qin Taotie."
Qi Xingyun nodded. The people's wisdom was not yet enlightened. They would use the simplest way to understand the insurance of this high-risk profession. If you want to do something, that's it. Before you start, you will find many, many problems.
Qi Xingyun thought for a while and said: "And without strict supervision, it is easy for corruption to occur, taking things from the people and taking them for yourself."
"This is the meaning of your, my, and our existence."
"The reason why you are an official and I am an emperor is to let the people understand the policy, implement it perfectly, and establish relevant supervisory agencies to supervise corruption. This is what we must do."
Qi Xingyun has made it very clear that if he, the emperor, is asked to solve the system and policies, what else does he, the courtier, need to do?
Is insurance collection targeted at the goods or the owners of the goods? How much is the collection fee? How to make small business people understand the purpose of these policies? How to supervise various difficult issues in the implementation process of these policies? How to establish supervisory agencies and how to effectively pay compensation.
If the emperor had to worry about these specific contents, he might as well just die suddenly.
Qi Xingyun believes that Yang Ruoqing's method will definitely be beneficial to the development of society, and this is the problem Qin Nanshu is facing now.
If the boat really capsizes and something happens to the small businessmen, what will happen to the families of these small businessmen?
Qin Nanshu thought about the emperor's idea again, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "I'll give it a try. I hope the people won't poke my spine and scold me."
"Actually, I feel that it is really difficult to determine the scope of the claim at the moment."
"For example, Wang loaded goods from the ferry, unloaded the goods at a private port, lied about the ship capsizing, sold the ship to a private port, and then returned to the ferry to ask the ferry prefect to pay compensation. How to define this?"
