Warrior was originally a businessman, and in the early years of Wude, he was in charge of the material reserves of the entire Tang Dynasty, so he naturally had a strong interest in business. In this era when merchants were engaged in business, it can be regarded as an alternative. This time, when the question to Huang Junming, Warrior was just casually speaking, just to be a small test. But unexpectedly, he asked the idea.
Huang Junming had long thought of finding time to tell Li Shimin about the importance of businessmen to the country, but this idea didn't exist for a while and was forgotten by him. Today, he was mentioned by the warrior and it started to ring. No matter how much a modern person is influenced by the influence of the eyes, his views on business are much more clear than those of the Tang people.
Huang Junming has heard people say that the reason why businessmen were not valued in all dynasties, and Huang Junming also agreed with this point. First of all, from a cultural perspective, Confucius and Laoer's view of businessmen was a bit lukewarm. As Confucianism gradually grasped politics, he was more contemptuous of businessmen, saying that it was a tyranny and full of money. From a political perspective, it is good to emphasize agriculture and suppress businessmen. Farmers do not run around when they have land, and merchants are running all over the ground when they have goods, which is difficult to manage. They don't find people to serve or find people.
It is easy to find. Another thing is that the status of the people in power is also threatened. Merchants can naturally live a wealthy and luxurious life with money, which will hit the authority of the imperial power. With money at home, I live more comfortably than your emperor. In the eyes of those in power, this is disrespect for themselves. In addition, merchants sell materials and circulate people, it will be a big problem if someone has money rebelled. Of course, Huang Junming has already thought of the way to solve the problem. He has a bit of a stance to refuse.
"I understand a little, I understand a little." Huang Jun clearly showed a modest tone, but his eyes revealed a strong sense of confidence.
The warrior who has been in the officialdom for many years naturally understood and became more interested. "I wonder if the immortal master can say something?"
Huang Junming smiled confidently and said heavily: "In a word, developing business is beneficial to the country!"
At this time, Li Shimin couldn't help but interrupt. "Why did the immortal master say that? What's the good for businessmen? They are just villains who value righteousness and neglect profit. How can they get such praise from the immortal master?"
Huang Junming thought to himself, isn’t I so praised the businessman to attract you, the emperor? If you don’t mention your interest, how can you notice the importance of business? I thought to myself, but I can’t say that I am planning to you if I do this, otherwise I would have been caught and chopped off. Not to mention immortals or gods, Huang Junming said little by little, “Your Majesty, don’t be restless, and listen to me one by one.”
"When it comes to business benefits the country, you know what business is and what business is? Merchant is commodity! The food we eat, clothes we wear, houses we live in, and carriage we ride can all be commodities. What are commodities? It is the rich output of workers. Instead of putting things that we cannot use, it is better to hand them over to merchants for what they need. From bartering in ancient times to having money, all reflect the figures of merchants and business. "Huang Junming's ups and downs, he stood up from his seat and walked back and forth.
"That is to say, with items and demand, there is a merchant, and the merchant is the link between the buyer and the seller. He obtains the remaining items from the seller, sells them to the buyer of the required items, and obtains the difference between them. This difference is the merchant's own labor income. It is said that the merchant is worthy of profit, but the profit obtained by the merchant is exchanged for his labor, and it must be stealing or looting. What's wrong?"
What Huang Junming in Qingdao said, Li Shimin and others murmured to themselves, "Yes, the interests of others are what they deserve. What's wrong?" Then he listened more seriously. Huang Junming saw these people gradually turning their eyes on him, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Your Majesty, you can imagine, if there are no merchants in this world, then what should I do?" Huang Junming asked Li Shimin.
Li Shimin heard Huang Junming's simple expression of the role of merchants and also understood it. This is something that can be understood at a glance, and it is not particularly difficult. "If there were no merchants... the farmers' excess grain would probably be accumulated into warehouses. After a long time, those who want to eat cannot raise the grain and go hungry, and those who have the grain in their hands see the grain rot..." Li Shimin also felt that the problem was serious.
"Yes!" Huang Junming said loudly, frightening the child that Mrs. Wu Shi was holding, but fortunately she didn't cry. "Your Majesty is right, the purpose of the merchants' existence is naturally like this. Of course, this is not the only thing that merchants are favorable to the country. How dare you ask Your Majesty where my Tang Dynasty taxes come from?" Huang Junming asked Li Shimin again.
"Of course it's from the farmers..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Junming: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars do not have to pay taxes. Farmers bear the main taxes of our Tang Dynasty. The taxes of industry and commerce are extremely low. Is it right?" Huang Junming nodded when he saw Li Shimin and continued, "Why don't your Majesty think of a different way? Since Zhang Qian opened the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, our land of China has had close contacts with the countries in the Western Regions, and the annual income of hundreds of thousands of chunks of silver. Did Your Majesty ever think about how much income would be if such a huge profit was taxed? At least the supply of military and nationality is enough. Since ancient times, riots have been caused by farmers who are unable to bear heavy taxes. Although our dynasty has low taxes, why not share some of the taxes on merchants? The richer the merchants, the richer the country is, isn't it good?"
"But, how do businessmen roam around the world? " Li Shimin asked. It was obvious that he had already taken the businessman seriously.
"Have Your Majesty ever visited the East and West Markets? As long as merchants buy and sell each other, the income they earn will be subject to the government's unified accounting supervision, so it is naturally convenient to collect taxes. Your Majesty can stipulate how much income a merchant earns and how much tax he needs to provide to the country. Similarly, once the country knows how much money a merchant receives, it is also convenient to control it, and naturally, to a certain extent, the opportunity for merchants to cause trouble is exempted." Huang Junming finished speaking in a few words and continued.
"At the same time, our Tang Dynasty merchants are spread all over the world. Your Majesty can also take some training to explore the enemy situation and monitor the abnormal movements at home and abroad with the perspective of merchants. Isn't this also good? For example, a country has no famine but has purchased iron ore, horses, and food on a large scale. Isn't this the prelude to preparing for war? The merchants are the providers of these goods, so they can naturally discover the movements of this country in advance. In this way, it is better to predict the enemy first than to send spies after the war begins."
This made Li Shimin's eyes shine. He, who was born in the murderous family, didn't understand the importance of the enemy's first, so he quickly stood up and said to Huang Junming: "Immortal Master, please accept my beloved." His words were quite sincere, without any airs.
Huang Junming smiled slightly, knowing that he had laid a foundation in Li Shimin's heart, and this point was not in vain. After a little help, Huang Junming continued: "The benefits of merchants are not limited to these. I am not proficient in this path. At that time, it depends on how Your Majesty deals with it. Not only merchants, but I know that every industry under the great way has its role in each industry. Three thousand roads can achieve enlightenment, which is the case."
