In Guo Jia's thoughts, historically, empirically, and theoretically, Guo Jia has countless reasons to gain the upper hand in the discussion with Li Mo, but he didn't expect that Li Mo didn't tell himself from any angle he envisioned, but talked to himself from the most realistic angle, but Guo Jia couldn't think of any reason to refute Li Mo
"Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, now the princes in various places have different thoughts, if they don't pacify the world as soon as possible and fight with each other, how can the people be peaceful again, Lord Li Mo said well, didn't he also defect to Cao Gong?"
Guo Jia had no choice at this time, he found out for the first time that his lips were so important, and he was almost not asked by Li Mo when he read a lot of books
"Alas, that's right, because the lord is willing to support me, he is willing to make changes for this, the lord values the ability rather than the background, how many families have criticized me, but the lord still appoints me as a pawn and farmer, and supports me, it's not easy, change to Yuan Shao, I guess I should be in prison now."
"As for what you said about pacifying the world first, this is not wrong, I also agree, if you can't really stop fighting, then the number of people who died will be thousands, but Feng Xiao is good at the things that the military advisor is thinking about, so he should understand what this war is about?"
"Only when the time and place are right can we be invincible".
"Yes, in my opinion, the war is more about the economic and logistical supply of both sides is the most critical existence, make an assumption, Fengxiao gives you 100,000 soldiers and horses, I lead a million soldiers and horses with sufficient logistics, Fengxiao can be sure to defeat me?"
"This ...... It is not impossible, it is necessary to take into account the actual situation, the location, the weather, the terrain, the generals who led the troops, and the elite degree of the soldiers".
"Then what if it is replaced, let Feng Xiao lead a million army against the enemy's 100,000 soldiers and horses, how many possibilities are there to fail?"
"Lord Li Mo, this is a little impossible, if you can really reach such a huge gap, you can already surrender without a fight."
"Well, yes, think about it along this line of thought, let's assume that there are now 300,000 troops under the command of the lord, and if you want Feng Xiao to lead the million-dollar army, the first thing you need to solve is the problem of population
"And now I am solving these problems, that is, using the method of the tuntian system, so that the grain and grass are worry-free, and then it is the people's business, how to attract displaced people, of course, a stable life and security, what do you need to rely on, money, and labor support, this is what I am doing now
."
"Master Li Mo, you are using strong words, how can anyone fight a war in vain and try to use this method to fight."
"Yes, let's wait and see, anyway, it's not long, Fengxiao shouldn't be entangled in this time, by the way, this information shouldn't have been shown to Fengxiao, now, Fengxiao just check it."
Li Mo handed Guo Jia an official document as he spoke, strictly speaking, Guo Jia is not his own person at all now, and Li Mo did not think that he would completely persuade Guo Jia through a conversation, this kind of thing itself is gradual
And Li Mo also had to admire Guo Jia's ability, although the contact time was not too long, but in a short period of time after Guo Jia followed Li Mo, he had already seen clearly all the various duties that the pawn farmer needed to do, and this ability alone was no longer possessed by ordinary people
And Guo Jia took the official document in Li Mo's hand with a puzzled face, which recorded that from Li Mo to the appointment of the pawn agricultural official to the present, the taxes in the entire Yanzhou are mainly taxes for business
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to issue decrees, stipulating that merchants with municipal registration and their families were not allowed to occupy Shidi for the benefit of farmers, and violators would be confiscated land and property, the purpose of which was to sever the connection between merchants and Shidi
After that, it began to collect money, that is, to levy property tax, all kinds of merchants, handicraftsmen in the market to operate goods profite, even if there is no city registration, should also declare their property, pay taxes to the imperial court, but the real implementation of the initiative to pay the tax burden of the people is very few, and then began another way, that is, the system of reporting, that is, someone reports your family's undeclared property, the same is to pay taxes, but also will be criminalized
And with the increasing number of selling officials, it has also directly made many businessmen finally have the opportunity to start on the stage of officialdom, which is a good thing for businessmen, but also a bad thing, especially during Liu Hong's reign, this kind of thing has been further deteriorated, although businessmen can become officials, it is equivalent to indirectly letting businessmen take over the power, but again, this has further caused the situation to deteriorate
Although the businessman is an official, he basically does not get any recognition, and is even disliked by the people of the family, among which Mi Zhu is a typical one, because of business and support for Tao Qian, he even once achieved the point of not driving
However, the shortcomings of businessmen have also been exposed, that is, they do not get any recognition and support, which is also the key reason why no businessman can become a prince, it seems that businessmen seem to have the qualifications to dismiss their rights, but in fact, it is a disguised way to make the status and reputation of businessmen once again ushered in a decline, and they all think that businessmen will always be useless
In Li Mo's tax report to Guo Jia, it clearly marked the number of taxes paid by Li Mo, as well as the taxes paid by some other businessmen or some industries operated by wealthy families, and what shocked Guo Jia was this, because the taxes paid by Li Mo alone and these industries under Li Mo actually accounted for more than one-third of the entire commercial taxes
"Master Li Mo, this ...... How is it possible, how much industry do you have?".
"You've seen most of them, and I don't have any tax evasion, can you understand it now?"
The meaning of Li Mo's words is very clear, the business I do alone is equivalent to nearly half of Yanzhou's taxes, and the remaining half is the taxes of the rest of the merchants, only less than half of the taxes are from the family, and these families actually occupy most of the industries in Yanzhou, including, grain, salt, iron, and some daily necessities
Guo Jia had never observed the situation of a certain state and county from a completely different perspective before, as well as how much prestige different princes had, what the people's aspirations were, and what the abilities of the princes
were
