Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

If it is not really can not be resolved.

They would not call Li Er and Qin Mu over to discuss this matter.

Li Er said slowly: "Nowadays, farmers in the Tang Dynasty have no agricultural tax, but are poll tax and corvee still available?"

Li Chengqian responded, "Agricultural tax and corvee have already been cancelled, but the remaining [-]% ​​poll tax has not been cancelled."

"At that time, the Tang treasury was not rich, so the poll tax for these two people was kept temporarily until now."

Li Er nodded, "Then the head tax will be cancelled, so that farmers will no longer be bound by taxes."

Changsun Wuji responded: "His Royal Highness has already discussed this point with the humble officials, and there is no problem with it."

"The main issue right now is how to deal with overpopulation, without jobs."

Li Er wondered: "The people of the Tang Dynasty have canceled corvee. Doesn't the construction project of the Ministry of Industry require labor? Wouldn't it be good to invite these people?"

Changsun Wuji replied: "The projects that can be built have already been renovated, and the walls of all cities in the Tang Dynasty have been repaired."

"The labor force is still growing, and none of these workers have land. If they don't have jobs, they can only starve."

"Although Datang's business is developing rapidly, the labor required is not too much, and it cannot solve the fundamental problem."

"So the imperial court still needs to intervene to solve the livelihood problems of these common people!"

"Although there is still a problem of completely exposing the surplus of labor at this time, it is necessary to plan ahead and prepare in advance."

Chapter 1332 The Son-In-Law's Way (2/3)

Listen to Changsun Wuji's words.

Li Er felt a headache.

He never thought that there would be a day when he would worry about the large population of Datang.

However, social conflicts have not yet intensified.

Therefore, there is still room for relaxation, and it is still necessary to plan for a rainy day.

Followed by.

Li Er turned his head to look at Qin Mu who was at the side.

"My son-in-law, don't hide it. If you have any clever tricks, throw them out!"

"How to deal with the problem of excess labor in Datang, you give me a solution!"

Qin Mu thought about it, and pondered: "Actually, if this matter is resolved, it won't be very difficult."

Qin Mu said casually, not taking this matter to heart at all.

Hear this.

Everyone looked at Qin Mu.

As worthy of being the son-in-law, any difficulty is a piece of cake in front of him.

Followed by.

Qin Mu mused, "The first solution to the surplus of labor is to build court projects."

Construct the imperial project.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Puzzled.

Li Er asked suspiciously: "You kid, don't you want me to wantonly build palaces and buildings!?"

"I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible! I'm a sage and a wise lord, and I will never do such things that harm the country and the people!"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "Then you really think too much. What I mean by the court project is to build some projects that benefit the people, such as the roads in various cities in the Tang Dynasty."

"My lords all know that the city walls and main roads of the various cities in the Tang Dynasty are indeed repaired well, but the trails in the villages and towns are all messy and rugged."

"If the imperial court can allocate a part of the money to repair these trails, it will not only solve the problem of excess labor force, but also facilitate the travel of the common people and enhance the prestige of the imperial court."

Hear this.

Everyone's eyes brightened.

Qin Mu's method is indeed feasible, and it sounds more reliable.

Li Er nodded, looked at Qin Mu and asked, "It's not enough to just build the road. Sooner or later, the road will be finished, so what about after the road is finished?"

Zhangsun Wuji and the others all looked at Qin Mu, expecting his answer.

Qin Mu replied: "There are many such projects. If the roads are completed, some cleaners can be hired to clean these streets every day. In this way, the sanitation environment of each city will be greatly improved, and this It can also enable some people to have a long-term and stable job."

"The other thing is that some public huts can be built. In this way, if the common people have urgent travel, they can solve it nearby. It is also a project to benefit the people."

"Some gardens can also be built for the entertainment of the people in their leisure time. It can also be regarded as a project to benefit the people, which can increase the people's gratitude to the imperial court."

Li Er nodded hurriedly, he felt that the methods Qin Mu said were all right.

Especially what Qin Mu said about repairing various rooms and trails in villages and towns, hiring some cleaners, and newly repairing public huts.

These are projects that can directly improve the urban environment and facilitate the common people

As for building a garden, Li Er was really reluctant. When Datang was developing, he felt that the money should be used wisely. .

If he invested money to build a mechanized army, Li Er would not even blink his eyes.

Changsun Wuji pondered: "Even if we can build these projects, the projects will be completed sooner or later. If there is no long-term and stable job, I feel that we still cannot solve the basic living problems of the people."

"If the people can work steadily in one place for ten or eight years, that's about the same."

Changsun Wuji was still a little worried.

Li Er and the others also felt that what Changsun Wuji said was very reasonable.

Without a long-term and stable job, I really feel that the people's lives are not very stable.

Qin Mu nodded, "Uncle is right. The methods I just mentioned are all solutions to the problem of excess labor in a short period of time, and they belong to the overdue period."

"If you really want to solve the problem of surplus labor in the long run, that is the development of commodity economy and industrialization."

"Only when the commodity economy develops and there are more factories and shops, will there be more labor needed, and the long-term solution to the problem of labor surplus will be truly solved."

Hear this.

Everyone felt very reliable, working in a factory, especially the workers in the Mangya Industrial Zone.

It is considered to have a long-term and stable income, so that you will not be hungry or full.

However, this is not a problem that can be solved in a short time.

Li Er pondered: "I understand all the reasons you said, Qin Mu, but how can we promote the development of the Tang Dynasty's commodity economy?"

"This is not a problem that can be solved in one, two, three, five years!"

The corner of Qin Mu's mouth slightly raised and he muttered, "Maybe it wasn't possible before, but it can be solved now."

Hear this.

Everyone looked at Qin Mu with expectations in their eyes.

It seems that such a difficult problem still needs to be solved by the son-in-law.

Qin Mu explained: "Although Datang's commodity economy has developed very rapidly, the market share of neighboring countries, especially Tianzhu, Dashi, Persia, Rome and other major countries, is still very small."

"If we can open up the markets in these countries, it will surely bring Datang's commodity economy to a higher level."

"For example, porcelain was originally only sold internally to the Tang Dynasty. If it is sold to Western countries such as Tianzhu, Persia, Dashi, and Rome in the future, wouldn't the market double? If the market doubles, the demand for goods will double. Then Will the workshop be doubled accordingly, will the labor required by the doubled workshop be doubled?"

"In this way, the problem of excess labor in Datang can be fundamentally solved."

Hearing Qin Mu's words.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they were filled with joy, like enlightenment.

They did not expect that the son-in-law's understanding of the development of the commodity economy has reached such a deep level.

If so.

Datang is equivalent to owning the markets of more than ten countries, and the required labor force will surely double.

Li Er pondered: "Qin Mu, your method is good or bad, but how should we transport these things to other countries? If ordinary businessmen set off from Chang'an City to reach the Roman Empire, they would not know that it would take years of monkeys and horses and moons to arrive. First, the growth rate of the commodity economy is not very fast."

Hearing Li Er's words, everyone fell into deep thought again.

What Li Er said is right, Datang's foreign trade has developed very well now.

But the fundamental problem that restricts the development of commerce and trade is the transportation problem.

If this problem can be solved.

It can greatly promote the development of Datang's foreign trade.

The efficiency of transporting goods is the upper limit of absolute trade development.

1333 Ready To Take Li Er To Go Abroad (3/3)

Listen to Li Er's words.

The corner of Qin Mu's mouth slightly raised, "Your Majesty, this matter may be difficult for others, but it must not be difficult for you."

"The time from Rome to Chang'an may be long, but the time from Chang'an to Rome may not be long."

Hearing this, Li Er and everyone were stunned.

moment.

Li Er suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "Yes, we have cement roads extending in all directions, and we also have fast cars."

"If there are all concrete roads from Datang to Rome, and if you drive there by car, it will probably take less than a month to reach Rome."

"In this way, the development of Datang's foreign trade can be accelerated."

"However, this matter still needs time to be resolved. First, all countries have to agree to our Datang's commodity imports, and second, they need to build their own roads, so that foreign trade will be carried out smoothly."

Qin Mu nodded, "It's actually not that troublesome to solve this matter. We just need to find the monarch of that country and sell monopoly products with relatively high profits, such as glass, health care products, tea, shampoo, etc. Hand it over to the monarchs of these countries to operate, and use this as a condition to let them trade with Datang, allow me to import products from Datang, and we can also allow their products to be imported, and then let them pay for road repairs. It's done."

"Based on Datang's current military strength, they are considered lucky not to send troops to attack them. The development of trade exchanges will only benefit and not harm the development of their countries."

In fact, Qin Mu also had selfish intentions in doing so.

He also wants to speed up the export of various commodities in the Mangya Industrial Zone, so as to expand the income of the Mangya Commercial Bank and speed up scientific research.

Listening to Qin Mu's words, everyone nodded.

This is a very great project, but it takes a long time.

There is also a need for close contact with these countries.

Followed by.

Li Er frowned, and muttered: "If that's the case, then don't hesitate any longer, contact these countries immediately, and try to let these countries repair the roads within three years, and speed up the trade with our Tang Dynasty."

"In the past three years, if there is a surplus of labor force, we will build convenience projects to make the transition."

Hearing this, everyone agreed unanimously.

After all, this is planning for a rainy day, and now is the time to act.

Li Chengqian asked: "Then who should be in charge of this project? And who should be sent to these countries for negotiations? This person needs to be very familiar with the teacher's process and theory."

When these words fell to the ground, everyone turned their attention to Qin Mu.

Apart from Qin Mu, they didn't know anyone else who was qualified for this job.

This job is simply tailor-made for him, and it must be him. After all, his vision for business is not comparable to those of them.

If they go, they may be able to talk about this matter.

Qin Mu was a little helpless, he didn't expect to dig a hole for himself in the end.

However, Qin Mu didn't really resist. He had almost run away from Datang these years, and he hadn't been to the outside world much.

There is nothing in Chang'an City that he needs to worry about.

It is no problem for the Institute of Science and Technology to have Mo Xun staring at him.

The three wives also gave birth to their own babies.

He is indeed the most suitable candidate.
