MTL - Red Alert 1895-Chapter 891 Making money alone is not as good as making money together (Part 2)
dPS. Here is today’s update, and by the way, let’s vote for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets, and the voting will also give starting point coins. I beg everyone to support and appreciate!
In Ouyang Xuan's villa, many of the founding fathers who were present, no matter whether they had a title or not, even if they didn't have a title, they might be able to get a title in a short time. Those who were in the capital did not miss it, and then they all came over one after another. And everyone here will discuss some important things, especially things about your future, and it is also related to the future of your respective families in the future. So everyone dare not ignore it this time, this is a long-term prosperity in the future.
"I have seen the emperor!" Everyone saluted together and said.
"Okay, I don't need to be too polite today. I don't talk nonsense today. I also know that all of you nobles are doing some business secretly, right? I'm afraid you didn't do less business, I am very clear about this. Recently, the imperial court has been building a lot of business, and there are businesses everywhere. Are you not tempted? I am afraid that you have also been doing some business secretly recently, and then use it to make money?" Wang Guorui asked.
Hu Chuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, the court is full of business opportunities recently, and we old officials have nothing to do at home. Naturally, we just need to take care of some business, and the affairs of the court are left to those young people." All right."
Since Hu Chuan stepped down from the position of chief of staff, he has not arranged any position for him. So although he has the title of a county lord, he is secretly taking care of his family's business in order to train his other sons. As for him, he still needs to avoid suspicion. After all, his son is the vice chairman of the Military Commission and the vice chairman in charge of military affairs. If he is too arrogant as a family member, he is causing trouble for his son!
So it's not that no one wanted to follow his route, but they were all sent away by him, and they didn't agree at all. At present, the wealth of the Hu family has been guaranteed. There is no need to lose the big for the small. But they have done some business, and this is also used as some subsidies for the family.
As such nobles, do they really rely on the money given by the government to support them? If you rely on the money from the government alone, you can't support such a big family at all. They must run some industries so that they can support their family. So there are many people who do business secretly, and then use various privileges to protect their own industries, both openly and covertly. This kind of thing cannot be completely eliminated even in later generations, so what about this era? Wang Guorui didn't intend to completely eliminate them either. Instead, they plan to form a consortium by themselves.
"Your Majesty, we have been following the rules these days, and we have not done anything out of date! We have always followed the rules, paid taxes according to the regulations, and have not done anything that cut corners and materials to pass off fakes and shoddy products, etc. We have always followed the rules and did nothing!" Someone immediately explained.
Obviously, they all know that Wang Guorui hates fake and shoddy things very much. Wang Guorui was involved in many counterfeit and shoddy products, and even various poisonous foods. Therefore, he punishes those poisonous and harmful foods very severely, and even has very strict supervision on product quality. He has zero tolerance for quality supervision. A trip to the prison is just a matter of long or short, and there is absolutely no tolerance.
So this gang of nobles also knew that Wang Guorui attached great importance to him in terms of taxation and quality, so of course they didn't dare to mess around. So although they secretly start their own company. He even secretly helped his company obtain orders, but he absolutely didn't dare to make mistakes in quality, otherwise his subordinates would be sent to jail and lose face, and what's more, if Wang Guorui remembered it. It will be really troublesome after that. Although Wang Guorui may not be able to catch and have actual evidence, just a suspicion or tacit understanding is enough to make him unlucky. Quality issues are very important. Wang Guorui attaches great importance to this, and it is even related to people's livelihood! If there is a problem with the quality of the company opened by Xungui, then it will be the reputation of the whole Xungui that will stink. Then even Wang Guorui, the emperor, is very difficult to do.
As for other tax payments according to regulations, this is also necessary. Because why ancient landlords were able to continuously annex land, apart from political power, there is another advantage that they do not have to pay taxes. They don't need to pay taxes, and they can make many people come to rely on them. By investing these lands, they can obtain tax-free powers, and then they use the price lower than the national tax burden in exchange for those ordinary people's contributions. In this way, they quickly merged the land, and in order to avoid the heavy taxes of the government, the ordinary people had to take the initiative to donate the land to those who had the right to be tax-free, which made them more concentrated.
Therefore, in terms of tax exemption, Wang Guorui will also prohibit it, and even Wang Guorui's own property has to pay taxes. This prevents those nobles from quickly accumulating industries through tax-free privileges, and then continue to master the economic power to over-control the country. It is not good for this noble to control the power of the country too loosely, and it is not good to be too strict. If it is too strict, it is easy to form a gentry like that in the past, and then that kind of gentry blocks the channels for the class flow of the people, which is definitely not acceptable. Once the channel of class flow is blocked, some elites of the people will definitely try to overthrow it through revolution, which is not good. Even Westerners know that they cannot block the people's upward channels, otherwise they will be the ones who will suffer in the end.
Therefore, it is appropriate to accept some elites at the bottom to enter the ruling class, so as to give those elites some hope, so that they do not consider using violent revolution to seize power and status, and then take the road of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, so that they can see To a certain hope without carrying it over to risk it.
Therefore, it is not good for these nobles to control the country too tightly, but if it is too loose, it will eventually make these nobles unlucky. And the way to restrict nobles from becoming gluttonous beasts is the aspect of taxation. To curb the rapid expansion of those nobles through taxation to a certain extent, and to avoid some people who think that they are looking for a partnership with the nobles in order to avoid taxes, or transfer them to the nobles through other means. This will definitely not work.
"Okay, I'm calling everyone here today, not to talk to you about tax evasion, tax evasion, and corner cutting. If there is such a thing, I won't come to ask about it, and let the government directly find you." Wang Guorui said .
Wang Guorui's meaning was very obvious. Although he said on the surface that he would not intervene, he meant to let the government go directly to business, and there was no need to come to him to intercede, because that would be useless.
"Today I asked everyone to come here, not to prohibit everyone from engaging in business, I intend to coordinate, and then we will form a concern, a cross-industry concern. Then we each have a responsible direction, so that we can pass this concern. Cooperation, and then control our domestic economy. Next, we try to avoid directly entering the government department, and even the nobles should try to avoid entering the cabinet as the prime minister and other high-level positions. We will try to fade out of public view in the future , and then control the country by controlling the economy, instead of directly controlling the country through any direct rule method. For those governments that are open to the outside world, we can make them listen to us through support or some means, and then we control the country through the economy This will ensure our control over the country and ensure that we will not have major problems. Moreover, the government will become a punching bag for the people, and we can replace the government one by one in the future, and then they Be the punching bag of the people for us."
"Of course, we will carry out division of labor for this concern, and then use this method of concern to carry out mutual cross-shareholding, mutual borrowing, and then mutual lending and other means to strive for integration, so that we can control the economy well. And this way At that time, we can secretly control various regions, and then avoid our internal competition ~www.novelbuddy.com~ hurting peace. It can also prevent us from repeating investment, which is not conducive to our future development. Especially in some key industries , For example, finance, energy, roads, and many basic service industries of the country. These things are very important to the country. Of course, they cannot be given to outsiders casually. We are all people who share weal and woe with the country, so the control is in our hands. It can bring enough benefits to our family, and on the other hand, it can also avoid falling into the hands of those who are too selfish, and finally cause the country to collapse. After all, this country was brought down by us, and we cannot just let those people Those who have no merit but want to pick peaches swallow it."
"The emperor is wise!" Everyone said quickly.
Next, everyone is going to divide those key industries, and especially those industries that affect the lifeline of the country, so everyone should pay great attention to this. Then everyone began to prepare to divide various industries. Those with strong strength can monopolize a certain industry according to the situation, and on the other hand, those with weak strength can consider several companies to swallow an industry together. Even, the connection between the families can be strengthened through various cross-shareholding methods. This ensures that among the control of these commercial interests, you have me, and I have you, which is relatively the safest.
