In the guest room, a group of people were chatting.
There are Qi Biaojia and his wife and sister-in-law, as well as his son, daughter and prospective daughter-in-law. There are also Liu Shuying from Jiangxi, Yan Yuan from Hebei, Tang Zhen from Sichuan, and Yan Ruoqi from Taiyuan.
Yan Ruoqiu, the youngest, said: "Your Majesty undoubtedly encourages industry and commerce, and develops industry and commerce centered on cities, and advocates merchants to open workshops and factories inside and outside the city. Tax collectors at all levels are mainly located in cities, and it is easier to apply for land in the suburbs. There are several advantages, one is that the people inside and outside the city can go to the nearest factory to work; the other is that it is convenient for the government to collect taxes; the third is that the transportation is convenient, and the raw materials and goods can be circulated quickly.¡±
"Indeed." Tang Zhen nodded.
Yan Ruoqi's family is in the salt industry, Tang Zhen's family is in the silk and oil industry, and Qi Biaojia is the owner of a textile factory.
As for Yan Yuan's family background, it can be described as hard to describe.
Because of his poor family, his own father adopted Zhu's family in the same village as an adopted son. Yan Yuan's former name was Zhu Bangliang. His own father couldn't stand the Zhu family's discrimination, so when the Tartars entered and plundered, he took the initiative to follow the Tartars to Liaodong, and he hasn't heard from him till now.
His adoptive grandfather was the local garrison officer of the Ming Dynasty. He first surrendered to Li Zicheng, then Dorgon, and helped the Manchu Qing suppress the uprising army, and then surrendered to Li Zicheng. He was finally executed by the Datong Army.
Because Yan Yuan was young, he was not implicated, so he lived in his teacher's house and changed back to his ancestor's Yan surname.
He practiced riding and archery with his teacher since he was a child, and also learned the art of war, medicine and magic, and even learned alchemy to cultivate immortality. Primary schools in Hebei were established very late. He was sent to the school by his mentor, and he skipped grades faster than government-run schools. He once completed primary school courses by himself, and then discovered that there was no middle school in the county.
By the way, Wu Dongyun, Yan Yuan's mentor, closed the country private school and took the initiative to join the Datong Army when the Datong Army, Li Zicheng, and the Eight Banners Army fought in Hebei.
A little old man in his fifties or sixties, riding a bad horse, with an iron sword hanging from his waist, a bow on his back, and a long halberd in his hand, rushed to the Datong military camp with his gray hair. He was immediately appointed as the leader of the local rebel army, and then assisted in the formation of the farmers' association to divide the fields. He is now the principal of Boye County Middle School.
Yan Yuan became the grandson-in-law of his mentor
Yan Yuan asked: "Is there something wrong with the court's move?"
Yan Ruoqi pointed to Qi Biaojia and said, "You can ask Mr. Qi about this, Mr. Qi should have a deep understanding."
Qi Biaojia said: "The suburbs of the county have a large population, so it is easy to recruit workers, but there is not enough land for the factory. I had to find a slope outside the town and apply for the land to build a factory. But although the slope is barren, it is still arable land. The government was very slow in approving it, and it took four years to get it approved."
Yan Ruoqiu explained: "This is because the officials in the county only have very little authority to grant land every year. In order to prosper the county and facilitate tax collection, they centrally approve the land in the suburbs to build factories. They will wait for immigrants every year and give priority to the land in the suburbs. Many farmers moved to the north, and the vacated land was used as land for building factories. Some of the land was very fertile, but it was approved in violation of regulations. And the barren land in villages and towns, because it is too far away from the county seat, it is difficult to get approval from the government.¡±
"Indeed," Qi Biaojia nodded and said, "We have no land to approve in the outskirts of the county, so we approved the construction of factories in villages and towns."
Yan Ruoqiu said: "This is wrong. The imperial court and the local government had the wrong idea from the very beginning. The land should be approved to build factories around towns. Not only are there more barren land suitable for building factories, but they can also absorb nearby farmers. In this way, the merchants who set up factories will get convenience, and the nearby farmers can also increase their income. In this way, the people inside and outside the city will not be rich, while the people far away from the county can only farm the land.¡±
Yan Ruoqiu's thinking is very clear, in the final analysis, it can be summed up in eight words: focus on the development of township enterprises!
Shang Jinglan looked at Yan Ruoqi in surprise: "Little brother, is this year Guigeng?"
Yan Ruoqiu replied: "Seventeen years old."
Everyone was speechless.
Yan Ruoqiu explained: "An uncle of mine also planned to open a textile factory, and encountered the same problem. I heard my uncle complain, so I began to pay attention to this matter. Every winter and summer vacation, I travel between Hebei and Nanjing, inquiring about the relevant situation along the way, Gradually, this kind of thinking came into being. In fact, in Daming, many places are already similar. For example, Yanshen Town specializes in glass, Jingdezhen specializes in porcelain, and Foshan Town specializes in iron. They are all centered on towns and attract farmers to work, and then become Wealthy and big town. Once there are more factories in a certain town, it will grow rapidly. The unfavorable conditions such as transportation and taxation will no longer be a problem."
Including Zhao Han himself, the idea of ??the court officials is to build industrial and commercial centers next to the cities.
And Yan Ruoqi's idea is to develop theThe inhumane approach of Hao Hao suddenly stunned the serious publications, and they didn't know how to respond, so they could only be forced to write articles and pen sticks.
"This article must have been written by a great Confucian. It is difficult to deal with citing classics." Zhai Wenben held a copy of "Jiangning Business Daily" in his hand.
Zhang Tianzhi said angrily: "Bastard Confucianism! These newspapers seem to be run by merchants. How can a real Confucianist be greedy for those few pennies and help merchants and women write deceptive articles?"
Huang Zongxi is indeed not a great Confucian, but one of the prince's main lecturers.
Zhai Wenben asked: "What should I do?"
Zhang Tianzhi said: "It's very lively now, and the newspapers don't worry about sales. Don't wait until next month, immediately invite colleagues to write articles, and quickly publish supplements to fight back against those business newspapers, just in time to sell newspapers to make a fortune! ?
