- At the hotel where Liu Jin was staying in Nanjing, Wang Shouren was sitting alone with Liu Jin, reporting to Liu Jin what happened this time.
¡°This matter is extremely not simple.¡±
"People like Zeng Qing, Jiang Cheng, and Zhang Yuanting are just small fish on the surface. There are more people behind them."
"The reason why they deliberately do not pay workers at this time is to make things worse. When hundreds of thousands of people cause trouble, it is very likely to turn into a huge riot and rebellion. Once the turmoil breaks out, It¡¯s enough to sweep half of the Ming Dynasty.¡±
"Once we reach any stage, it will be a trivial matter for me to lose my head. I am afraid that today's prosperity of the Ming Dynasty will probably be gone forever. Many of today's policies that benefit the country and the people are very likely to be attacked by unprecedented huge attacks. , it is very likely to be ruined here.¡±
"Among them, what merchants and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River hate the most is commercial tax. The land south of the Yangtze River has been very prosperous and prosperous since ancient times, and it is also a tax-rich place in the Ming Dynasty. However, the commercial tax today is far inferior to that in the north."
Wang Shouren reported the situation to Liu Jin in detail, and at the same time expressed his deepest worries.
The more you understand and investigate the matter, the more you feel that it is not simple.
The conservative forces in Jiangnan are trying to use this to peak the great situation of the Ming Dynasty. They want to bring the Ming Dynasty back to the past era. In the past, they had the final say and everything was under their control. They could do whatever they wanted without restraint. The era of lying on the huge body of Ming Dynasty and sucking blood.
"It's them again~"
After Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel murderous intent.
Historically, the decline and demise of the Ming Dynasty certainly had its historical inevitability. However, after the Ming Dynasty, China fell and fell under the rule of the Tunguska Boar Skin. For three hundred years, the country closed itself off and implemented strict and ignorant policies, which led to the collapse of China. After a hundred years of suffering and falling behind the world, our spine was almost broken, our heritage was almost cut off, and our nation's pride and self-confidence were completely lost.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
But what about the officials of the Ming Dynasty, especially those officials born in the south of the Yangtze River. They only care about the struggles and interests between parties and do not care about the life and death of the country.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
When the Ming Dynasty fell, they turned around and knelt on the ground to vote for their new masters, but they couldn't see the land of China. They didn't know how many people died and how much blood was shed.
??Looking at today, what they do is not for their own selfish desires or for the interests of small groups, without regard for the safety of the entire country.
Once these hundreds of thousands of workers are considered traitors, the government will force the people to rebel. Once hundreds of thousands of workers rebel, and they are workers who have mastered many skills, their power is far more powerful than the scattered farmers who have no skills. , once it breaks out, it is not impossible to sweep the Ming Dynasty.
When it really reaches that point, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, and the prosperity that was finally achieved will disappear in the blink of an eye.
This is definitely something Liu Jin cannot accept and is definitely not willing to see.
I traveled back in time and worked hard for more than ten years to achieve today's situation. I finally saw that China spans the world and occupies the most wealth and land in the world. How can I let these short-sighted people destroy it?
"These rats, how could they know that the wheels of history are already rolling? The prosperity of our Ming Dynasty is the mainstream of the times. No one can stop it, and no one can reverse the wheels of history. They will only use their arms to control the wheels of history, overestimating their capabilities and taking their own actions. It¡¯s just destruction.¡±
Soon, Liu Jin laughed and gave them a conclusion.
Today¡¯s Ming Dynasty has embarked on the path of capitalism and colonialism. The rolling wheels of history have brought Ming Dynasty to rapid development. Any force that wants to stop it will be crushed by it.
"Yes, they are just a group of short-sighted people. They never want to destroy the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty."
Wang Shouren also nodded solemnly. He had also seen the arrival of a great era, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty would be unstoppable.
"Old Wang~"
"Your Majesty has given me a secret order. He wants to use this incident to sort out Jiangnan and thoroughly sweep those old diehards into the dust of history."
"You put it over hereUse your hands and feet to investigate, and there must be more to Jiangnan than just the things in front of you. "
"For a long time, factories, workshops, trading houses, etc. have sprung up all over the Ming Dynasty like bamboo shoots after a rain. Only in this place in the south of the Yangtze River, except for Songhu, the development of other places seems to be unable to match the prosperity and prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River. The identity of the place.¡±
"There must be many reasons behind this. You have been here in Jiangnan for many years and you must be familiar with the situation here. You might as well take this opportunity to investigate and sort it out."
Liu Jin looked at Wang Shouren and conveyed the meaning above.
"That's true~"
"I have been in Jiangnan for many years, and I know a lot about the situation in Jiangnan."
"The disadvantages of Jiangnan are first of all ideological. Conservative ideas still dominate. Local officials are inextricably linked to the gentry, big families, and big businessmen in Jiangnan. They are all working for the families behind them. Serve."
"Taking the Yangtze River alone as an example, outsiders cannot get involved in the many interests of the entire Yangtze River basin. Behind the ships sailing on the Yangtze River are large families. Families of all sizes almost monopolize the entire Jiangnan area. benefits all aspects of the region.¡±
"From grain, tea, silk, porcelain, shipping, docks, etc. to factories, workshops, trading houses, etc., almost everything is divided up by these families, and outsiders cannot get involved at all."
"So except for Songhu, in the entire Jiangnan area, northern factory owners, trading firms, etc. have no way to get involved. Unless we cooperate with them, they can't even think of opening factories."
"These big families have many people. Some of them are engaged in business. After making money, they set up private schools and academies to support their children to study and obtain fame. Then these children who have obtained fame will continue to seek benefits for their family. Greater, greater good.¡±
"This cycle has continued for more than a hundred years, and the current situation in Jiangnan has been formed. The literary style in Jiangnan is at its peak, talented people emerge in large numbers, and most of the Ming Dynasty scholars are in Jiangnan. At the same time, Jiangnan merchants control the grain, salt, tea, and external affairs of the Ming Dynasty. The trade situation almost monopolized the entire Ming Dynasty¡¯s economy.¡±
Wang Shouren pondered for a while and slowly explained the situation in Jiangnan. He was from Zhejiang himself and was naturally the most familiar with Jiangnan.
Liu Jin listened carefully and nodded while listening.
Liu Jin had realized this a long time ago. In fact, it was not just Jiangnan, but the entire Ming Dynasty. It was just that the Jiangnan side was the most serious. Clan power was spread all over the Ming Dynasty, only in the new territory. .
When the imperial court was conducting immigration, Liu Jin specially formulated a policy to disrupt the mixed immigration of immigrants from various places and completely break the clan power. This way, there was no clan power in various immigration places in the Ming Dynasty.
The imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the local clan forces had the final say. However, because of the wealth in Jiangnan, the clan forces in Jiangnan eventually became larger and larger, and eventually turned into super large families, becoming the Ming Dynasty. Blood-sucking worms.
"The second is the big families and big businessmen in Jiangnan. They like to use the court's policies to serve themselves. To put it simply, they use the court's policies for their own personal gain."
"This was the case for salt merchants and maritime merchants in the past. On the one hand, they strictly implemented the policy of salt and iron monopoly. In name, the salt was under the control of the imperial court, but in fact, all the salt fields, large and small, were divided up by them, and then they used the imperial court's methods. Forbid others to get involved in the hugely profitable industry of salt, in order to achieve the purpose of monopoly and obtain ultra-high monopoly benefits."
"They dared to sell a pound of extremely poor sea salt for tens of renminbi, which is why the salt mountain became famous and wealthy. The court did not benefit from the salt policy of the court. The people ate high-priced salt, but in the end it was Make these salt merchants rich.¡±
"There are also those maritime merchants. On the one hand, they impose strict routine maritime bans, and no sails are allowed to enter the sea. On the other hand, they engage in large-scale smuggling and trade with foreign countries. They tightly control the huge profits from foreign trade in their own hands, and even even Collaborating with pirates and Japanese pirates, they wreaked havoc on the southeast coast and prevented others from going to sea to gain maritime trade benefits."
"The imperial court is impoverished, the treasury is empty, and nothing can be done. However, these salt merchants, maritime merchants, grain merchants, tea merchants, etc., are all extremely wealthy and spend huge sums of money on the Qinhuai River without blinking an eye. .¡±
"The imperial court has always encountered the strongest opposition from them when it comes to levying commercial taxes. Even if the tax can be levied, they are the most stubborn in this land south of the Yangtze River. It is really difficult to collect taxes from them. , and even tried all kinds of ways to abolish policies that are beneficial to the country."
Wang Shouren shook his head as he spoke. Being from Zhejiang, he knew the situation in Jiangnan very well.
He had been thinking about why Liu Jin had to carry out many reforms and implement new policies. A smart person like Lao Wang soon thought clearly and understood Liu Jin's good intentions. Now we can see clearly why the conservative forces in Jiangnan are so opposed to the New Deal. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)p; Wang Shouren shook his head as he spoke.
