Emperor System: Gain the power of Xiang Yu at the beginning

Chapter 162 Father and Son Talk About Their Dreams

Luo Bei accompanied Luo Jingde to exchange martial arts in the martial arts arena for nearly an hour, and he himself has basically mastered the knack of hitting every shot, and now he is able to achieve the level of nine out of ten.

"Okay, Bei'er, it's almost time for lunch, let's go back to the palace first."

After Luo Jingde received a signal from Eunuch Wei, he realized that the time had already reached a quarter of noon.

"Okay, father, let's go back then." Luo Bei also looked up at the sun.

Eunuch Wei ordered someone to drive, and went back to the inner garden of the palace, and asked the royal study to prepare lunch. The father and son had another warm meal together.

After the meal, Luo Bei accompanied Luo Jingde to review the recent memorials, and gave Luo Jingde a lot of suggestions.

Luo Bei gave very pertinent suggestions on everything from winter recuperation, fire prohibition, to the transfer of supplies and personnel balance, which made Luo Jingde take a high look at his son again.

After finishing his work, Luo Bei wondered that it was time for the two people from the ancient city of Pingyao, Shen Kuozhi and Qin Si, to enter the city gate, so he opened his mouth to tell Luo Jingde his development plan for these years.

Equalization and equalization are an important means to solve the emptiness of the national treasury, and it is also a sharp tool to ensure people's livelihood and stabilize prices.

But a court cannot control everything, especially in the commercial market, the court must do the following.

First, break the class division of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and make people in various industries feel equal. Of course, this does not mean eradicating the authority of the imperial court.

Speaking of this, Luo Jingde no longer cared about the shock, and asked subconsciously: "If you really do this, how can you guarantee the authority of the court?"

Luo Bei smiled indifferently: "Law! Only fair and just laws can help the court establish its authority. Of course, in addition to strict laws, we must also respect the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism."

Luo Jingde fell into deep thought, Luo Bei saw this and continued to speak.

Second, what the imperial court does is to provide sufficient living conditions for the people of the world, such as convenient transportation, complete education, and good social security...

Third, the most important and most important thing is to ensure the filling of the national treasury through taxation and the industries operated by the court.

Luo Jingde looked at Luo Bei and asked suspiciously: "The industry operated by the imperial court? Is it your Laochu hot pot and your Sakura brand snake ointment?"

"In terms of taxation, Da Chu has been doing it all the time, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

Luo Bei raised his hand to stop Luo Jingde's words, and said flatly: "These two are small industries. The most lacking thing in Dachu now is the right to mint money that does not control the world, as well as salt and coal."

"Let's talk about Dachu's taxation. The poll tax, tax, and rent tax you collect are complicated and complicated, and the income can easily reach the upper limit. What I have to do is commercial tax, which is divided into industry and individual."

Seeing Luo Jingde's frowning, Luo Bei slowly turned his head and continued to explain: "My son's idea is to encourage businessmen to start businesses, and the court will provide convenience. If you have no money to find a loan from the court, you need to pay interest. If you don't have land, you need to pay the court. Rent, you need to pay rent, no one has a yamen to help recruit workers."

"The imperial court escorted these industries. When they made money, the imperial court had taxes, and the workers had jobs and income, and the imperial court could also collect taxes. In the long run, these industries greatly enhanced the national power of Chu, and the working people could eat enough. rice, and there will be no more rebellions and plagues."

Luo Jingde exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect that the big Chu dream in Bei'er's heart would be like this."

"If this is true, Bei'er will become an emperor through the ages, and my Great Chu will be passed on for generations to come."

He thought about Luo Bei's words carefully, and resolutely discovered that during this period, everything Luo Bei did was paving the way for this big Chu dream.

If what Luo Bei said can be realized, as far as the right to mint coins is concerned, Great Chu can completely control the Sixteen Kingdoms of Yanyun. Coupled with the comfortable environment they created, the people of the world will definitely regard Great Chu as a kingdom of abundance.

"However, Bei'er's incident may affect the interests of the world's nobles and clans. If he is not careful, it may be a stormy sea, and he will lose everything."

Luo Jingde was not dazzled by this huge prospect, he also saw the risks behind it.

"Father is right to be worried, so the first thing we should do right now is to build the great Chu industry, fill the national treasury, and then open up the major transportation routes across the country."

"I'm afraid that this matter will take at least five years, but the longest cannot exceed ten years, otherwise the follow-up work will be delayed for too long."

Luo Bei looked at Luo Jingde helplessly. At this time, he had already deeply understood.

Man proposes, God disposes.

"Five years? Could it be so fast?" Luo Jingde looked suspiciously at Luo Bei.

Luo Bei was about to explain when he heard Eunuch Wei barging in from the outside.

"Your Highness, Lord Qin and Lord Shen are outside the palace!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Luo Jingde and Luo Bei were overjoyed, they said at the same time: "Quick, let them in."

Eunuch Wei glanced at the two suspiciously, then hurriedly bowed and backed out.

Luo Bei felt embarrassed by his eager tone, Luo Jingde added: "It was very hard for the people in the imperial dining room to prepare some food for these two adults after a tiring journey."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wei paused before leading the order to go out again.

After that, Qin Si and Shen Kuozhi entered the hall at the same time with tired faces.

Compared with Qin Si's calmness, Shen Kuozhi was unavoidably nervous when meeting him for the first time.

However, in the ancient city of Pingyao these days, I have often used the identity of this big farming order to do things, so after seeing Luo Bei's encouraging eyes.

He also quickly stabilized his mind, and performed three kowtows and six prostrations at the same time as Qin Si.

"Chen Qinsi (Shen Kuozhi) greets His Majesty, long live long live long live long live!"
"Okay, the two lovers have been working very hard, please forgive me." Luo Jingde excitedly raised his hand to let them get up.

These two played Luo Bei's first move, and he was eager to know from the handing over of the paper to the present.

What did the magical ancient city of Pingyao look like?

"Minister, I have met Your Highness." The two greeted Luo Bei again before getting up.

"You're welcome, come and tell my father what the ancient city of Pingyao looks like today." Luo Bei had already noticed Luo Jingde's impatient expression, and quickly gave them a wink.

"Yes, Lord Qin will talk about the overall changes first, and Wei Chen will add the follow-up details."

After Shen Kuozhi saw Luo Bei's gesture, he took the lead in posing as an invitation, and asked Qin Si, the governor, to speak first.

"Okay, brother Shen, wait a moment, I will report to His Majesty and Your Highness first." Qin Si nodded his chin to Shen Kuozhi, then bowed his hands to Luo Jingde and Luo Bei, and then slowly said.

"After Pingyao experienced the Huns and the Northern Wei Dynasty, the population loss was serious, and the buildings in the city were severely damaged."

"First of all, I have experienced the rebuilding of His Highness's warehouse, charity meals, recruiting workers to help themselves, building roads and reporting to refugees."

"Now Pingyao City has basically recovered, forming industries such as storage, fur and meat processing and manufacturing. Except that the population has not recovered for a short time, but everything else is far better than before."
