Chapter 49 A Thousand Miles Journey (3)(2/3)

The ones we can reach this level are actually the relatives of the emperor and the country that Chief Zhang just mentioned."

Many people are moved.

"But we can't leave the leaders alone." Bai Jingang refuted seriously.

"How about asking all the leaders to show their family assets?" Cheng Dalang seized the opportunity and hurriedly said. "Just like what the white leader said, three generations of relatives, or the entire family's assets without division, must be shown to the family at the end of every year.

In the gang, if the increase is outrageous, let the Supervision Department investigate, and if the evidence presented is untrue, we will be fired immediately!"

"The leader will show his family property, and the leader and the deputy commander of Daxingtai are not allowed to do business... How about that?" Dou Lide immediately made up his mind and asked Bai Jingang. "Leader Bai, some things really cannot be accomplished overnight. This is not a competition to seize the Long River.

!When the gang first broke out, the leaders were all smugglers in the underworld... If you follow your theory, the entire gang should not have one."

Bai Jingang was slightly startled, and the people around him started talking again... This is not impossible.

"It still doesn't work." Bai Jingang thought for a moment and shook his head slowly. "Just showing family property is not enough to restrain them."

Dou Lide carefully reminded: "Leader Bai, I still say what I said. You are not doing anything to win the Long Competition. You can't count on winning every game. Since you have your heart in this matter and you are the Supervision Department, you should be more cautious... If you give in a little bit,

Even if you don’t want to, if you forcefully raise your hands, I’m afraid even the Dilong that has been taken down will be taken away... Raise your hands now, your proposal will never be passed."

"If it doesn't pass," Bai Yousi suddenly interrupted. "It's not just Bai in charge who has lost his prestige. Outsiders will also think that we are helping to clarify the officialdom!"

"Indeed." Xiong Bonan became embarrassed. "We must be careful about this... Manager Bai said it was fair and aboveboard."

"Then how about adding a few more restrictions?" At this moment, Zhang Xing suddenly spoke, causing many people to get timid. "What do you think? We don't prohibit relatives and merchants from opening workshops other than workshops..."

"Besides... mines are like land. How about prohibiting the leaders' relatives from mining?" Wei Xuanding made a suggestion. "Or simply ban all private mining."

"Isn't it too much to ban private mining?" Dou Lide immediately reminded.

"The mines are public property, and after the uprising, they were all taken over as auxiliary properties. The so-called private mining is only available in Dengzhou, and they are just outsourced..." Cao Xi explained briefly. "So you only need to find out the details of the person coming when outsourcing."

"Then it would be easy to handle. It would be to prohibit the leaders from mining with their own relatives." Wei Xuanding decided on a restriction.

"If we follow this principle, we can also prohibit the family members of the gang leader from participating in certain business affairs." Cui Suchen received some suggestions. "For example, the gold and silver that the chief just mentioned...the eldest princess has a monopoly on gold and silver exchange in the Eastern Capital.

business, and Cao Che wanted to build a big golden pillar, so the place was so easily emptied."

"Gold and silver, mines, salt, iron, bulk grain, cloth, horses and livestock, ships and vehicles..." Xu Dalang counted quietly.

"No." Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing interrupted this train of thought. "If the measurement continues like this, there will be no profitable business. It would be better to ban relatives from doing business! I mean, except for basic salt and iron, other

The key everywhere is monopoly! Just don’t monopolize it, just don’t let people with backers monopolize a certain business.”

"Indeed." Cui Suchen was the first to react.

"That's true." Chen Bin also came to his senses. "The key is not to have a monopoly. Once it is monopolized, and there are people behind it, it will be a disaster as well as a disaster!"

"Were there any relevant laws before?" Zhang Xinglai asked Cui Suchen.

"Yes." Cui Suchen nodded immediately. "It existed in many vassal states as early as the time of Emperor Bai. At that time, it was generally not allowed to monopolize the industries in the capital..."

"Then add a restriction, subject to the rules, the business of the leader's family is not allowed to monopolize the industry." Chen Bin bit the result of the discussion. "Let Manager Cui combine the legal system to create a specific gang rule."

All the big leaders nodded one after another, and the leaders on the periphery were speechless when they heard this. After all, so far, their real money has not been harmed, it is just a slight tangible and intangible restriction set up outside.

It's just that I feel unhappy in my heart.

However, there are many people who are unhappy and it is not their turn yet.

"This is just scratching the surface. In essence, it is indulgence." Bai Jingang stood motionless in the center of the hall, but his voice echoed in the hall.

With that aura, not to mention the guilty consciences of the surrounding leaders, even the envoys at the far end looked in a daze - they knew that this conference was really about discussing things! But they didn't expect that the discussion would reach this level!

Not to mention the admiration of people outside, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely awkward.

In fact, that's the truth. Everyone knows that Bai Jingang is a little out of touch with reality, but he just occupies the big truth, and no one can stand it when he lays out the big truth at such a conference. It's not just that, it's just that he can't stand it.

It doesn’t matter if you live there, the key is that the core members of the gang are obviously not willing to raise their hands to veto this principle. In that case, the gang will appear too unfair!

And these core attitudes, in turn, made the peripheral leaders panic. What if the people inside were too shameless and Bai Jingang's proposal was rejected?

Are we really going to start a rebellion because of those shops? The business has become so big now, is it really necessary to sacrifice the future of a few shops?!

And now, with the result of having an entire army in one year, it is impossible to start a rebellion?

To put it bluntly, if something breaks out, I'm afraid I'll be stabbed to death by that Bai Sanniang, right?

Do you really want to hand over the shop?!

There was obviously some panic in the palace.

"Actually, what White Leader means is to try to prevent gang leaders from becoming corrupt and becoming thieves... But if you really want to pay attention to this, and use Da Wei as a negative reference, the key is really not about business.

." Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Zhang Xing decided to take action. "The key is land!"

"But chief, we have an equal land system." Bai Jingang instinctively became wary. "Some senior leaders hid some Zhuangzi in the past, and starting from this year, they also counted them and awarded them back for their merits in establishing the gang, and the single leader even more

I took the lead and handed over many Zhuangzi... In this case, there is no trouble on the land, the shop is the biggest trouble."

"If you don't have it now, then you won't have it in the future?" Zhang Xing stared at the other person and asked slowly. "Baitou, in this world now, the most valuable thing, the most valued thing, is actually the land... It is the land that is occupied by the family members of the gang leader.

The original intention of the shop is because our land equalization system is well implemented and there are no loopholes in the land for them to take advantage of... But once there is a loophole, it will not be the case, look at what the Wei Dynasty was like."

Bai Jingang thought for a while, nodded and admitted: "That's true."

"So, instead of worrying about business matters, it is more important to guard against minor changes in the land." Zhang Xing continued. "We should implement a few rules while the land equalization system is stable and there is no time to worry about too much land...

What do you think?"

Bai Jingang realized something and asked seriously: "The chief already has a case?"

"good."

"But if that's the case, why can't the two of us work together to prevent the slightest change?" Bai Jingang still didn't want to give up.

"That means we really want to overwhelm the gang leaders." Zhang Xing pointed to one side and said. "Leader Bai, we have just talked to you a lot, some are right and some are wrong, but everyone wants to unite as much as possible.

The hearts of everyone in the gang, including you, so that the gang can move forward without hindrance... Since you are the leader of the gang, you should have some such thoughts. After all, we need to understand a basic truth,

Only if we can help continue to exist and the current system can continue to exist, can you stand here and discuss this matter...right?"

Bai Jingang was silent for a long time, and then he asked Zhang Xing while everyone was holding their breath: "What is the chief's precaution against danger?"

"It's very simple." Zhang Xing stood up, lined up with Bai Jingang, and then looked in another direction. "Now we have about three types of taxes... commercial tax, land tax, Ding tax... Commercial tax is not what it is today.

I have to say, but it can also be mentioned that we should remove redundant checkpoints, and the remaining specific checkpoints should only charge freight instead of tolls, so as to allow goods to circulate as much as possible, and then only collect transaction taxes in the market.

Encourage commerce.”

Many people nodded, but some didn't understand, and some were just waiting for the chief to say "what I'm going to say today."

"Then what I want to talk about today is that we should incorporate the Ding tax into the land tax!" Zhang Xing's voice increased significantly. "Based on the current land equalization system, for most people, there is actually no change at all.

It’s just that some people with more land, that is, the people in this palace today, have to pay more land tax... What do you think? I thought this was to prevent the damage to the land equalization system like that of the Wei Dynasty, where the heroes occupied an excessive amount of land.

A way."

"I agree." Bai Yousi blurted out. Obviously she was also the first person to realize what Zhang Xing was talking about. "Others don't know, but this was the situation of the Bai family back then. The land in Guanxi was limited, so in

Guandong covers an area of... only one Liang County. The Bai family's manor, plus the manor of Bai's in-laws, totals an unknown amount of land... I don't know if there is a fair land tax collection in the local area, even if it is a fair land collection, my family

The people of Liang County have been oppressed and usurped by my family because my family has lost a lot of land tax, but the land tax has not changed."

Everyone suddenly became excited and were talking about similar things. This truth is very simple and everyone knows it. But as Zhang Xing said, under the land grant system and the gang has just risen a few years ago, the excess owners of the land actually have military merit.

The leader, that is, the person who helped, the so-called largest landowner, is also the leader of this palace... Therefore, although Chief Zhang's method of guarding against the slightest is reasonable, it requires everyone present to pay, so naturally they are a little unhappy.

However, Bai Jingang was standing next to Chief Zhang.

"What's there to say? Is this a good method?" Shan Tonghai became a little anxious. "Compared with ending the business, how much more money can we get? Not to mention, we have to grant more land first, so we can have this much money.

The little money you give will always make you more profit."

"It's not about how much profit you get," Cui Suchen reminded seriously. "To put it bluntly, it's about fair taxation and not taking advantage of ordinary people."

"No matter what the previous discussion is, I only agree with this." Xiong Bonan couldn't help but express his position directly. "If you want people to rely on you, the word fairness is all you need!"

Seeing that there was almost no opposition within the scope of the big leaders, and that the peripheral leaders were wary of their own authority and Bai Jingang's "true strength," Zhang Xing knew that the opportunity was rare, and quickly came up with his second goal: "The King of Heaven said it very well.

, so corvées should also be fair..."

"This is even simpler. The leader of the army is naturally entitled to multiple corvées. This is only available in the families of leaders who do not join the army. But now you can also get money to defer to the corvée. It is also a matter of a few more dollars." Dou Lide immediately pointed out the key point.

"But the chief is right. It should be said at this time, because there are still few leaders who are not leading troops. This matter should be handled lightly, otherwise it will be involved in the future... This is the chief's perspective."

"This is not my idea." Zhang Xing said firmly. "These two anti-microbial measures are actually the idea of ​​the family members of several leaders in Jiyin... Last month, the family members of several leaders came to Yecheng to see Duolong. I invited

They had dinner at Guanfeng Yuan and chatted with them, and some of the leader's relatives took the initiative to talk about this matter... Everyone, this is a role model for helping!"

Ding Shengying only felt his mind buzzing. Many leaders, including Shan Tonghai and Liu Heifu, also remembered many past events, but they immediately believed them.

Those old ladies have long been coaxed into the alley by Chief Zhang's sweet talk. As long as Chief Zhang gives a hint, they will definitely be willing to exchange a few dollars for a good name! Especially, especially

The core figures of those old ladies had received medals from the Zhangshui Breakout Campaign at that time, so it was even easier to coax them!

But, you know it, you know it, you can’t refute it, right?

If you have to say something is wrong, that is, something is wrong with Chief Zhang. For a few dollars, he used his status as one of the best in the world to deal with several old ladies and let them push the few who least wanted this in the gang.

Leader... why is this happening?

"Business is prohibited for leaders. Leaders must show their property. Monopoly is not allowed in business. Taxes are allocated to the fields. Leaders also pay the service fee...what else?" Liu Heifu originally had no interest in this matter at all, but only concentrated on watching these powerful people.
To be continued...
