"Guancang, the situation is related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances. No one can guarantee that everything in the Ming Dynasty will always be smooth. As for the current traffic situation in the Ming Dynasty, once a natural disaster occurs somewhere and there is no harvest, Guancang The food in it is life-saving straw for the local people.
I know that because of the incident in the official warehouse, no less than a thousand officials died in my hands.
But in this regard, I just want to say that he deserves to die. "
Zhu Youjian said on the city wall.
Although he didn't say it directly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this matter was His Majesty's bottom line just like collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. No matter who violated it, he would be severely punished by His Majesty.
"I understand that businessmen value profits, but I hope you don't forget that you are a Ming Dynasty man, and then you will be a businessman!
Shang Sheng Fan Li (you have all heard of it.
People around the world praise him as: "Be loyal to the country, be wise to protect your life, be rich through business, and become famous all over the world."
Fan Li worked hard throughout his life, made three fortunes, was able to spread money to help the poor, and was indifferent to fame and fortune. He also had a huge influence on business thoughts and theories. He was honored by later generations as Shang Sage." 33
"On the other hand, look at you, I don't ask you to spread money to help the poor like Shang Sheng and be indifferent to fame and fortune. But at the very least, you must remember the responsibilities of a Ming Dynasty person.
If you have money, you enjoy life, I have no objection, but if you have money, you live in power and oppress the people, then you should first see whether it is your head or my sword that is stronger.
As a businessman, you should have the responsibilities of a businessman. If you make money from Ming Dynasty, you should pay taxes honestly, abide by state secrets, and protect the interests of Ming Dynasty.
It's not like having a little money makes you swell, and you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. "
Zhu Youjian said.
"Your Majesty taught us that we were wrong," Businessman Representative No. 1 said.
Although he was jealous in his heart but in his mouth, the businessman still chose to be soft.
"Your Majesty, in that case, let's talk about the second point. Your Majesty integrated the freight agencies, which should have been a good thing, but your Majesty forced 51% of the shares. He also required each freight agency to first obtain the order from the court. Transporting supplies to the imperial court had a great impact on Ming Dynasty's business.
Commercial tax is the most important tax in the Ming Dynasty. Now the court's expenditures are huge, and the common people have heard that your majesty has exempted a lot of agricultural taxes in order to encourage births. If there are some problems in business and affect the court's tax revenue, it will be a big trouble. . "
Businessman No. 2 spoke directly on behalf of the microphone.
In order to prevent outsiders from controlling certain subordinates and thus forming local bullies, Zhu Youjian reformed Ming Dynasty's freight transportation.
The imperial court paid for the integration of various caravans.
Coupled with the railway technology fully mastered by the imperial court and the merchant ships that the Ming Dynasty continued to launch, the largest freight group in the Ming Dynasty was born.
Under the regulations of the imperial court, all freight out of the county must be transported by freight companies controlled by the imperial court.
Under such circumstances, the caravans controlled by various chambers of commerce had to fall into the hands of the imperial court.
Although you can make money by doing serious business, who would dislike making more by yourself?
When traveling with the court's caravan, the court knew exactly how much the goods were and whether they were mixed with any prohibited goods. After this, without the extra income, everyone was doing business honestly, and after paying taxes, they earned much less than before. .
Some people died, but not completely...
