Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

"Selling biscuits!"

"Candied haws! Candied haws!"

"The best Jiangnan silk in our shop..."

The sound of clamor is incessant, and in the field of vision, under the festivity, there is an endless stream of people on the street.

The emperor sat on the second floor of the inn, watching the new year scene of Qianmen Street after the renovation. Wang Wu stood on one side and bowed to report:

"There are 22 martial artists who entered the capital from other places, and now they are all gathered in the palace of the Duke of Yasukuni."

"The four cabinet ministers of the cabinet are also gathered at the Shoufu Palace today..."

Until Wang Wu's voice fell, the emperor did not change his expression, and still stared indifferently at the New Year's scene on the street.

Obviously, because of the cement road, this Qianmen Street is several times busier than in previous years.

Looking at the street scene, the emperor seemed to be a little lost. As for Wang Wu's report, the emperor didn't care about anything. In this Daheng, whether it is politics or military, nothing can be done without his nod.

After a long time, the emperor looked back, picked up the hot wine on the table, took a sip, but didn't say much.

Seeing this, Wang Wu didn't dare to say any more, and respectfully stood aside.

The emperor slowly got up, stood in front of the window, turned his eyes slightly, and he could clearly see the majestic palace at the end of the street, the fire was flickering, the lanterns were hanging, and the soldiers were standing.

The emperor took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, and his thoughts flew with it.

The majestic and solemn palace city represents the symbol of imperial power, but it is not a cage that binds imperial power.

The Son of Heaven bows and rules!

This sentence alone clarifies the boundary between vassal power and imperial power.

If you cross the limit of the arch and rule, it is not the Son of Heaven.

He has ignored this boundary, and he can also ignore this cage.

But the princes of later generations, who were born in the deep palace, grew up in the deep palace, or even lived in the deep palace, may not necessarily be able to leave the deep palace.

In this way, if there is a Mingjun, it is a great wonder!

Thoughts flowed, but the emperor shook his head secretly, he, he always thinks too much, can in his generation, complete several generations of things he has to do, and then arrange the next generation, his generation The emperor's career has been completed.

After that, no matter how much he thought about it, it was of no use.

To expect a set of systems to last forever is no doubt a fantasy.

After all, we can only rely on the future generations.

"At the cement factory, can someone come to inquire?"

I don't know when, the emperor suddenly made a sound.

Wang Wu was stunned, and then he couldn't hide his doubts. He didn't know what the emperor said.

In the end, Wang Wuyi bit the bullet and asked, "What is your majesty referring to..."

The emperor waved his hand and stared at the cement street where people came and went, but he didn't explain anything.

Cement is an important weapon of the country, and naturally it needs to be kept strictly confidential. Now, the inner court firm is responsible for the construction of the factory, and the supply is also for the purpose of confidentiality.

But in a sense, the emperor didn't really want to let the business firms under the jurisdiction of the inner court continue to grow.

At the beginning of the establishment of the bank, what he thought was to use the bank to collect money, and then use the money to create a business, so that he would have enough influence on food, salt, iron, and the lifeline of the country.

But nowadays, there are banks all over the world, which is a good thing.

But the commercial firms, at first he just wanted to influence the salt and iron grains, are now almost completely controlled by various "state-owned commercial firms".

The former Ming's salt importers, private salt dealers, and private mines, under the leadership of commercial firms, policy restraints, and the blow of military and political iron fists, have become like rats crossing the street. In today's Daheng, it is hard to see them again.

Of course, if that's all, it's a good thing in this day and age.

However, the state-owned commercial firms that rely on public power are greedy. Taking advantage of the turbulent times after the establishment of the country by the former Ming Dynasty and Daheng, coupled with his emperor, he also needs the existence of these commercial firms to manipulate the entire world.

Therefore, the firms affiliated to the Inner Court are like a big net, covering all aspects of Daheng.

Private firms are small in size and can still survive, but firms as large as Shanxi merchants almost no longer exist in Daheng.

Just like Zhaowu's three-year commercial tax revenue in Liaodong, according to statistics, 90% came from the commercial firms affiliated to the Inner Court.

Obviously, such a business ecology is obviously extremely unhealthy, extremely abnormal, and even deformed.

The existence of many businesses in the inner court is a powerful tool to stabilize the country when the country is in turmoil. However, as the country is stable and the inner court is too strong, it is an existence that hinders the development of the country.

If the inner court firm is allowed to continue to develop, it will not only be too big, but if it needs to be solved, it will undoubtedly be a huge change.

In addition to salt, iron, grain, ordnance, and money banks, which are the foundations of the country, the rest of the business, the emperor prefers the free development of a restricted market.

The state-run dominates and stabilizes the country, while the private sector prospers the market.

Obviously, in order to achieve this point, it is necessary to restrict the inner court firms to stop their almost disorderly expansion, and at the same time make the Qianzhuang firms more formal and systematic!

"call……"

As his thoughts flowed, the Son of Heaven also let out a long sigh. The most fundamental reason was his entanglement.

He wanted to ensure the healthy development of the Qianzhuang business, and he did not want the court officials to intervene in the Qianzhuang business, so that the emperor would have undoubted control over the Qianzhuang business, and he would leave later emperors an important means to control the world, and he did not want to see the reason The Qianzhuang Commercial Bank belonged to the inner court, which led to the interference of government in the harem and the power of eunuchs.

This one fish and bear's paw, obviously can not have both.

In order to completely avoid certain evils, something must be given up.

For example, if he wants to avoid the harem interfering in politics and the eunuchs' power, he must let the dominance of the bank and the business, and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com is not under the jurisdiction of the inner court.

Otherwise, the power of the harem, with the power of eunuchs, can easily affect the money shops under the jurisdiction of the inner court.

And Qianzhuang Commercial Bank does not belong to the inner court. In his hands, although it will not affect anything, it will be difficult for the king of later generations!

Moreover, eunuchs, at least locally, are not restrained by family interests. The emperor is the master, and under the imperial power, he will do his best to serve the master.

But officials, and officials of this era…

It is obviously not difficult for officials and businessmen to collude and sell shorts.

The degree to which the salt and iron official camps of all dynasties have been eroded in the end is a very clear proof!

In the Ming Dynasty, why did all the emperors who did not take the usual path like to send eunuchs abroad!

Although the eunuchs did do a lot of illegal things, their ultimate goal was to get money for the emperor!

In this era, the emperor has no money, and he has no ability to make money, so he can't talk about being successful, and it is impossible to be successful!

However, it is good that the kings of later generations are willing to do something good, but if they are incompetent and stupid, and master this wealth, it might be a disaster!

The root causes of all problems are very clear, but... these problems cannot be cured at all!

There will always be a cure for the symptoms but not the root cause, but to cure the symptoms requires persistence day after day.

Slightly slack...

It's rotten!

As time goes by, the erosion will spread, and the national fortune will inevitably go downhill irreversibly.

Even if a monarch and a famous minister are named, they can only return to the light for a short time.

"If it is, as in the future..."

In the emperor's mind, he once again thought of the special national conditions system of later generations...
