After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 143: Knock and Guild? Someone is preaching! (6K)

"Establish a special agency?"

"Establish a special chamber of commerce?"

"These businessmen really responded quickly."

"But their idea... is still too bold!"

Looking at the deduction of the Jiantian Mirror.

Wang Qianhe shook his head secretly.

He actually thought about it.

Chen Huaixin will make this matter public.

After all, only in this way can we serve as a warning to others.

but.

Those businessmen were actually able to think so deeply.

It did surprise him a little.

"It seems."

“Those businessmen who have been commended.”

"Those businessmen who participated in the establishment of business law."

"Their thinking has taken on a bit of an official flavor."

"pity."

"This bold idea of ​​theirs...will definitely not be approved by Chen Huaixin!"

Wang Qianhe thought so in his heart.

after all.

Establish an institution specifically for managing businessmen.

Does that mean businessmen need to be involved?
Let your own people manage your own people.

Whether in the past or in the future.

These are the most effective ways to prevent laymen from managing professionals!

"However."

“Let the businessmen join in on the fun.”

“Let merchants join the institutions managed by the court.”

"Isn't that equivalent to letting businessmen get involved in politics in disguise?"

"Chen Huaixin did not allow businessmen to touch the newspaper's public opinion platform."

"How can we allow them to engage in politics so easily?"

Wang Qianhe saw it very clearly.

If the children of these merchants passed examinations such as the imperial examination and got the opportunity to become officials, that would be fine.

Because Chen Huaixin treated all businessmen equally and regarded them as citizens of Yu Country. As long as their children were capable, he would not turn them away.

As long as he strictly abides by the laws after passing the exam, he won't care about anything.

However, the institutions controlled by the imperial court all have some political significance. Allowing businessmen to join them and manage other ordinary businessmen would have a different meaning!

As the prime minister, Wang Qianhe has his own understanding of politics. He has always believed that this is a science of managing people. If the right to manage others is delegated to those businessmen who join in.

"That would be equivalent to handing over some political power to those businessmen."

"For businessmen, they are short-sighted and short-sighted, and giving them some color is a loss of face."

"Isn't this purely planting hidden dangers for the future of Yu Country?!"

Wang Qianhe could already guess what Chen Huaixin would think after seeing the businessman's proposal.

even.

And will get angry because of it.

Then give those businessmen a beating!
"It's just like he said."

“Businessmen are the rebellious young sons of the state and they need to be regulated and supervised.”

"And now."

"The youngest son has thoughts that he shouldn't have."

"It's time to take out the bamboo stick and give him a beating!"

……

【Because I was received by His Majesty. 】

【The memorials from the wealthy merchants. 】

[Of course he can appear in front of the Prime Minister. 】

【but. 】

【Seeing.】

【The content is later. 】

[The Prime Minister's face suddenly darkened.]

[“After letting them relax a little.”]

[“Let them be able to do a little more than before.”]

[“These businessmen… actually dare to have such thoughts?!”]

[The Prime Minister was somewhat dissatisfied.]

【Although.】

【He knows that, too.】

This proposal.

[It can indeed better manage the merchants within Yu Country. ]

【Let those inappropriate thoughts be controlled or even suppressed. 】

【"but."】

[“They shouldn’t have come up with this!”]

[“This is more like seeking political power!”]

[The Prime Minister presented the memorial to Chen Huaixin and expressed his thoughts.]

[He originally intended to reject the idea outright, or even reprimand the businessmen in person.]

【But no matter what. 】

【This proposal does have merit. 】

[Even if he is the Prime Minister. ]

【It cannot be based on likes or dislikes. 】

【Just throw this memorial aside. 】

【"but."】

[“Inform Your Majesty of the merchants’ possible ideas.”]

[“This is also what I, as the Prime Minister, have to do.”]

[The Prime Minister looked at Chen Huaixin.]

【After reading the memorial, Chen Huaixin also understood why the Prime Minister was dissatisfied. 】

【On the surface. 】

[This is just a method that can help the court better manage merchants. ]

[We should even commend the businessman who proposed this for worrying about the future of Yuguo! ]

【"However."】

【“From our perspective.”】

[“This is not just about managing businessmen.”]

[“Managing merchants means managing people, which is…what the imperial court does!”]

【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】

[Of course he knows.]

【The purpose of the imperial court is not just to manage people. 】

【“Politics is the struggle between classes.”】

[“Politics is the authoritative allocation of social values.”]

【“Politics is an extremely complex subject.”】

[“And managing the masses… is just one of the social governance functions!”]

【Chen Huaixin has been in power for many years and has a deeper understanding of it.】

【But no matter what. 】

[If a special agency is established as proposed by the businessman. ]

[Then we can’t avoid the issue of experts managing experts! 】

[Even if he could send the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Works to coordinate. ]

[But we still need to consult the opinions of insiders, that is, businessmen. ]

【"in this way."】

【“It’s equivalent to giving them some rights.”】

[“This is also what makes the Prime Minister most angry!”]

【Chen Huaixin looked at the Prime Minister.】

[He could actually roughly think of it in his mind.]

[Those wealthy merchants who raised opinions were actually thinking about the country of Yu. They did not want to take this opportunity to seek any rights. They did not dare to do or even think about such a thing! ]

[It’s just that their vision, compared to the higher-ups and officials in the court, is somewhat different. They can only see the benefits of this matter, but not the deeper meaning! ]

[“Although it is also possible that he knows the meaning of this and is just testing the court’s bottom line.”]

[“But this possibility is still too small!”]

[“For those wealthy merchants, being honest can ensure they have no worries about food and clothing and live a life of wealth and glory for the rest of their lives.”]

【“At least for now!”】

[“They absolutely dare not have any disloyalty!”]

[Chen Huaixin still has enough confidence in his deterrence and control. ]

[But even so, he decided to let the Prime Minister give these businessmen a warning.]

[Only in this way can the rebellious young child be able to calm down again. ]

[“But hammering is hammering.”]

[“This is a really good proposal.”]

[“It can still be implemented.”]

【Chen Huaixin continued.】

[The Prime Minister did not find it strange.]

【Because good is good. 】

[Otherwise he would not have put aside his personal feelings and presented the memorial to Chen Huaixin.]

【“After knocking.”】

【“Pick some more suitable ones.”】

"Join this organization."

[“Let them be under the supervision and monitoring of the imperial court, and be responsible for the management of experts?”]

【The Prime Minister put forward his own ideas. 】

[This was a plan he had already made before submitting the memorial.]

[Since it is impossible to completely bypass the merchants, let's just keep them under supervision! ]

[On the contrary, now they in Yu Country also have similar experience! ]

“It’s like managing those religions.”

[“As long as it is under the control of the imperial court.”]

[“Even if I really have any ideas.”]

[“It can also be seen clearly!”]

[“Then the limits and upper limits have also been set!”]

【This is what the Prime Minister thinks. 】

[This also made him somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, Yuguo's management of religion gave them experience to refer to and learn from, and they even knew what benefits and impacts this would bring. ]

[So when applying it to businessmen, he doesn't have to feel uneasy, nor does he have to worry about whether there are any hidden dangers that he hasn't discovered.]

[“Your Majesty’s administration of religion.”]

[“It’s a stroke of genius.”]

[“Let us also feel free and bold to apply this experience to other places!”]

[The Prime Minister looked at Chen Huaixin, his eyes full of admiration.]

[He didn't know whether His Majesty had thought of this a long time ago, but this novel approach, this idea of ​​constant change, did bring many benefits to Yu Country and also brought them many conveniences! ]

【After hearing what the Prime Minister said, Chen Huaixin naturally nodded without objection.】

[“I will leave it to you to take charge at this time. For the time being, this new organization will… focus on merchants first.”]

[“For now, let’s talk about merchants…”]

【Hearing this.】

[A hint of speculation appeared on the Prime Minister's face.]

[Does Your Majesty have any new ideas? ! ]

[He did not ask, but said, "I obey your order," and hurried away to deal with the matter.]

【And Chen Huaixin fell into deep thought. 】

[“There is an institution responsible for managing merchants.”]

[“Then…is there any need to establish other guilds?!”]

……

In the Golden Palace.

Seeing that Chen Huaixin actually agreed to this.

A trace of surprise appeared on Wang Qianhe's face.

but.

When heard.

After the plan of the Prime Minister of Yu State.

Then it dawned on him.

"indeed."

"Yuguo has experience in managing religion."

“Its advantages and disadvantages are all known.”

"Then manage merchants in the same way."

"Nothing could be more fitting!"

The more he thought about it, the more envious Wang Qianhe felt. The prosperity of Yu Country in the future would not only enable the people to live a good life, but would also involve all aspects.

and.

Due to Chen Huaixin's continuous changes.

Thanks to Chen Huaixin's continuous improvement.

There are many things that have no precedent in the past.

You can find reference and reference in Yuguo!
This has further promoted the prosperity of Yuguo!
“So this is what change means?”

“Not only can it help people expand their horizons, but it can also provide experience and help to future generations.”

"pity."

"I think it will be very difficult for Chengguo to reform the law."

Wang Qianhe sighed.

He also initially rejected Chen Huaixin's reforms, because both the cabinet system and the performance evaluation system were a blow to officials like them!

But as time went by, the changes made Yuguo develop better and better, and he began to try to slowly accept improvements and innovations, but it seemed... useless!
"Your Majesty will indeed support it."

“But there was no cooperation from mid- and lower-level officials.”

"No reform can be carried forward!"

"Even if it's Chen Huaixin."

"It can't change the current situation!"

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Wang Qianhe's mind.

Anyway, the current Cheng Kingdom is as rotten as it can be, but the future of Yu Kingdom is bright.

If you think about the people.

If you think about the future.

Let Chen Huaixin continue to attack Chang'an City.

Wouldn't that be...better?!
……

【Establish a guild.】

[This is something Chen Huaixin had never thought of before.]

【after all.】

【Based on the current situation of Yuguo. 】

[It seems that there is no need for this! ]

【"because."】

[“The birth of the guild.”]

“It’s about productivity.”

【“Due to the Industrial Revolution, many farmers left agriculture and flocked to cities.”】

[“But due to low wages and poor working conditions, individual employees are unable to fight against their employers.”]

[“So they could only band together for warmth, which gave rise to the guild organization.”]

【Chen Huaixin recalled the knowledge in his mind.】

【In theory. 】

【It is just an organization that manages merchants. 】

[It has nothing to do with the guild. ]

[He shouldn't have thought of forming a guild - this should at least happen in the future! ]

【but. 】

【Chen Huaixin knows very well.】

[Although this organization manages merchants, it also integrates merchants! ]

[As for the future that the integrated businessmen will bring about, Chen Huaixin can naturally guess. ]

【"now."】

【“Thanks to the support of Shanglu.”】

【“Due to the prosperity of maritime trade.”】

[“It has made Yuguo’s business environment far superior to any previous dynasty.”]

[“Handicrafts and small businesses are not just emerging, but are already thriving.”]

[Chen Huaixin is naturally very familiar with Yuguo's business situation.]

【And wait until an institution to manage merchants emerges. 】

【And when silver from Japan continued to flow into Yuguo. 】

【And after he reformed the financial system. 】

【Then the business will develop faster and faster! 】

【This makes it meaningful to establish a guild! 】

【“Even.”】

[“The seeds of that ideology will emerge!”]

【Chen Huaixin can see such a future! 】

[His first reaction to that doctrine was rejection, even though it could be said to be more advanced than the current feudalism.]

[And with Yuguo's current national strength and its continuous expansion to the outside world, even if there are indeed buds, many of the disadvantages can be transferred to other countries. ]

[“But because our country is strong and can reach out to other countries, why don’t we just do better and use the system of exclusion?!”]

【Chen Huaixin thought so in his heart.】

【certainly. 】

【He knows that, too.】

[Now is not the time to think about these things, because that step is really too big, so big that even he is afraid! ]

[However, the matter concerning the guild can be put on the agenda. ]

[“With the booming business today, employment relationships have already emerged in Yuguo.”]

[“Even if the number of people and scope involved is small, most of them are still family workshops.”]

[“But just because it’s small, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. You can also treat it as a later experience.”]

【Chen Huaixin had some idea.】

[He knew that as time went on, guilds would definitely emerge. This was a historical trend that no one could change, not even the Yu Kingdom that he controlled.]

【so. 】

【Establish a guild in advance.】

[Not only because of preparing for a rainy day, but also because it provides experience for later generations to refer to. ]

[It is also because it can set the tone for the guild first, so that it will not become just a showpiece. 】

【"after all."】

[“The tone set by the founding emperor.”]

[“Even if people later on change their minds, they won’t go too far.”]

【It was for this reason that Chen Huaixin came up with the idea of ​​establishing a guild.】

[After thinking for a long time, he handed the matter over to the Prime Minister.]

[Although the Prime Minister was a little strange, his trust in His Majesty made him nod and obey.]

【"My lord, obey the order."】

……

【Tenth month of the eleventh year of Jingping.】

【The court agreed to the establishment of an institution to manage merchants. 】

[This should have made those wealthy merchants happy. ]

【"after all."】

【“So.”】

【“No need to worry anymore.”】

[“Is there some idiot who suddenly wants to ruin the entire business market?”]

[This was the original idea of ​​the wealthy merchants. ]

【However.】

[When the warning and warning from the court were delivered along with this news. ]

[Those wealthy merchants were not excited at all, but were frightened to the point of pale faces.]

【even.】

[Some people have poor psychological endurance. ]

[He was so frightened that he became seriously ill! ]

[As for those who were able to stand firm, they immediately went to the imperial court to show their loyalty.]

[“We really don’t have any other ideas, we just want to prevent this kind of thing from happening again!”]

[“We are loyal to Yuguo!”]

[“We are only loyal to Your Majesty!!!”]

【“…”】

[These wealthy merchants are not just talking, they also want to offer money and goods to the court. ]

[Because this is what they can do, and it is the only way they know to avoid disaster. ]

【but. 】

[The local government did not dare to collect it.]

[They reported the matter to higher authorities.]

[After knowing the flattery and pleas of the wealthy merchants, the Prime Minister still had an indifferent look on his face.]

[The Minister of Revenue next to him shook his head and said: "It's just like the attitude of my country Yu towards the small countries around it. It doesn't matter whether they did it or not, or whether they thought so or not. What matters is that there is indeed such a possibility!"]

[“As long as there is such a possibility, they deserve to be beaten!”]

[The Minister of Revenue naturally also knew the ideas submitted by those merchants.]

【after all.】

【The institution established.】

【But the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Works are jointly responsible. 】

[This incident made him more wary of those businessmen.]

[After reading the memorial, the Minister of Industry asked, "Should we accept the gifts these merchants are sending us to beg for mercy?"]

[“I didn’t expect them to be so wealthy.”]

[The things mentioned in the memorial not only include a large number of livestock and various woolen clothes, woolen sweaters and woolen quilts, but also many rare items that only exist overseas.]

[“I can see that.”]

[“These wealthy merchants are seeking forgiveness.”]

[“It’s a huge hemorrhage.”]

[The Minister of Industry sighed.]

[The Prime Minister said calmly: "Accept it, why not? Teaching them a lesson has nothing to do with accepting their things."]

[Anyway, after the beating, we will have to select some people to join this new organization. ]

[This combination of a big stick and a sweet date will only make those merchants grateful. They will naturally not feel sorry for the money and goods they are offering now! ]

【“Especially these wool products.”】

【“Just right for distributing to poor people.”】

[“It will also help them get through this cold winter better!”]

……

【Same month。】

【A large number of monks appeared on the Silk Road. 】

【because.】

【This place.】

[There are already many cities.]

【They were all swept away by the Yu Kingdom cavalry.】

【For those monks who hold the pass to Yuguo. 】

[The new defenders of the city naturally didn't dare to have any ideas. ]

【even.】

【I only heard one sentence: "I came from Dayu in the East." 】

[Those guarding the city didn't even dare to look at the pass, and just let the monks enter the city.]

[This immediately made many monks feel regretful. ]

[“I thought I needed to ask for your Majesty’s blessing before I could enter the city.”]

[“If it was in the past, it would have been true, but now, they have been frightened by my Dayu cavalry, how could they dare to be as stupid as before.”]

[“I really envy my senior brother who went west first. He has the Dayu cavalry following him, so he can travel freely in the Western Regions.”]

[“After all, if you come across a city that you cannot enter, just say “Your Majesty, may you bless me” and the Heavenly Soldiers of Yu Country will arrive immediately. After that, even if it is the palace of a small country, it will not be a problem for you to stay there for a few days!”]

【“…”】

[Several monks are chatting.]

[The pride on his face is hard to conceal.]

【There is a powerful country backing us up. 】

[The sense of security that it brings is naturally full. 】

[This also makes it easier for them to record the specific situation of the city, and by the way, they can also preach in the city. ]

【certainly. 】

[In addition to the monks who recorded the details of each city along the way, there were also some who ran all the way along the Silk Road, hoping to reach Daqin as soon as possible.]

[Among them, the fastest one even reached the farthest country traded by merchants from Yu Country.]

[“Although it is not as strong as our Yu country, it is still considered powerful among these small countries.”]

[The monk looked around the city and thought to himself.]

[He was not in a hurry to go further, but planned to stay here for a few days. In addition to replenishing supplies, he could also spread Dayu's Buddhism to this country according to His Majesty's instructions! ]

【Let the people of this country. 】

[I will also pray for your Majesty's blessing! 】

【However.】

[Before he started.]

[He suddenly noticed that there was someone wearing a black robe, who seemed to be doing the same thing as him.]

【“Is there anyone else preaching here?!”】

……

PS: Guild is not a typo, it can only be Guild.
