Chapter 34 The oppressed emperor will turn over

One time, when Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were private, Wang Chengen pointed out seriously that the first step of the emperor Chongzhen was to "protect rights". The emperor also had to protect his rights? Isn't this a joke! Only the vulnerable groups in later generations need to protect their rights. Since ancient times, the emperor has been extremely powerful. "protecting rights"? Protecting rights! Okay, my eunuch Wang, isn't it that my brain is also funny after losing that thing?

Wang Chengen did not expect that Chongzhen's awareness was still so low, so he had to tirelessly explain to Chongzhen, the exploited and oppressed person, the principle of "being oppressed, turning over" to him.

Wang Chengen's brain is a supercomputer, with all kinds of data and numbers, and immediately talk about data and facts.

First, let’s take the numbers from later generations: in 2010, the tax revenue was more than 770 billion yuan, and after deducting export tax rebates, there were 7 trillion yuan; the land sales revenue was 1500 billion yuan in 2009, and in 2010 it was also 1500 billion yuan; and in total, the social security revenue was 1700 billion yuan. The total national income was 100,000. In 2010, the GDP was 40 trillion yuan, and the country’s income accounted for more than a quarter of GDP. Even if it was not considered social security, the fiscal revenue exceeded 20% of GDP.

There are also less authoritative statistics from the "roadside club": in 2007, 370 billion yuan of public funds for food and drink, 240 billion yuan of public funds for travel abroad, 400 billion yuan of public bus expenses, totaling 1.01 trillion yuan, accounting for 4% of the 25 trillion yuan GDP in 2007. In 2010, the "roadside club" counted as "travelside club" that the public funds for food and drink were even more claimed to have exceeded the 900 billion yuan mark.

Taking the numbers from the Song Dynasty, the national income in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty's Zhiping was more than 60 million jin, equivalent to more than 60 million taels of silver. Of course, some said that the highest tax in the Song Dynasty was more than 100 million taels of silver, and some said that 120 million taels of silver should be used as a conservative figure. The territory of the Song Dynasty was not as comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty, and its population was not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, but the national income was several times more. Song Shenzong also thought that the royal income was less, and could not enrich the country and strengthen the army, so he instructed Wang Anshi to carry out a series of "rights protection" actions. Of course, this royal "rights protection" action was a bit unsuccessful, but at least they had the awareness of rights protection!

Look at the data of the Ming Dynasty. The taxes and grains in Yongle in the tenth year were more than 34 million stones, silk banknotes, etc., and Yongle also had salt and iron monopoly and customs revenues of the Maritime and Manufacturing Company were not included. In the Ming Dynasty, the strong Emperor Yongle's financial income was the highest. After the Wanli One Whip Method, the annual income of the world was 14.61 million taels in a certain year. According to the annual output of more than 380 billion jin of raw grain in the Wanli Dynasty, the rice yield rate was 60%, which was converted to 230 billion jin of rice, and the rice price during the Wanli period was

One tael of silver costs 2 shi, that is, one tael of silver costs 378 kilograms, and the grain output value reached 600 million taels of silver. It is estimated that the annual export surplus in the Ming Dynasty reached 5 million taels of silver. After the One Whip Method, the Ming Dynasty's industry and commerce exceeded 40% of the domestic output value, so the output value of one billion tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is by no means overestimated. In this way, the taxes of the Wanli Dynasty only accounted for 1.5% of GDP. In the later period of the Chongzhen period, prices rose, and a stone of rice rose to one tael of silver, and the tax level was even about 1%.

Well, we are not as good as the Emperor Frederick who took 80% of the GDP to support the army. That is indeed a bit perverted! We are not as good as 20% of the future generations. If we could collect 200 million taels of silver, it would be very unhappy! If we had 200 million taels of silver, we could use 500,000 to 1 million taels of Tartars to death like our ancestor Zhu Di. We could not compare to this. We could do it compared to the Song Dynasty. People collect 60 million taels of silver a year and have to "protect rights"! Damn! Even if we reach the proportion of public funds for food and drink, public funds for going abroad in later generations, right, just 4% of GDP, we can destroy the Tartars! Why can we, the emperor, have to be buried in the mills and can't even eat grass! The Chongzhen Dynasty theoretically earns 20 million taels of silver, but actually receives 70% and burn incense. Tianqi left this mess, his assets were negative, he owed military pay, and his family members money and food.

, The money collected is not enough to be stuck in the teeth, and it is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. What is this poor emperor doing? No wonder Zhu Changluo was crushed in less than a month and gave up his shoulders. After Tianqi, he should have a strong ability to bear pressure, but it still doesn't work. He patted his butt and threw the shoulders again. Before leaving, he pulled Chongzhen to the back. No wonder Tianqi didn't even have a son, and he had to be exploited and oppressed when he gave birth to a son. So, we don't let his children and grandchildren suffer this crime. It's rare that his younger brother Zhu Youjian is a stupid and ambitious young man, and he just put on his shoulders with a burden. Chongzhen is really tough. He has been a ox and horse for 17 years. In history, he had to put on his shoulders. After this burden, he would never bear to put on his son's shoulders again. Otherwise, Chongzhen wouldn't let go of his own, so how could he explain why he didn't send the prince to Nanjing in advance to prepare!

For example, a joint-stock company, the people of the whole country are shareholders. This joint-stock company has long been insolvent and has to pay the internal wages. The shareholders have money but are unwilling to increase their capital. The banks cannot borrow money. The insolvent debts and shortage of working capital. Moreover, the company's internal friction is serious. Coupled with the financial crisis, foreign trade shrinks, and domestic demand is insufficient. In this condition, the shareholders' meeting asked the successor manager to only do well but not bad, and the profit indicators cannot be reduced at all. Do you think this is fair? It is reasonable for one person to oppress the world, but it is wrong for the world to oppress one person together! According to Wang Chengen, the emperors in the late Ming Dynasty were really not done by humans. Especially Beijing's 17th

In 2008, Chongzhen was oppressed and exploited. Public servants in later generations could not do it, issue money, bonds, and collect syndicated loans for key projects. Chongzhen, a miserable child, had to receive a poor 1% annual income, and had to provide disaster relief, war, and maintain officials, etc. During the expenses, this 1% would be eaten by half by corrupt officials and warlords. Chongzhen had no money and had to save money and even sell his own property, but it was still useless. The responsibility was infinite and the rights were infinitely small. Isn’t this a typical “oppressed and exploited”! If I was oppressed and exploited, I had to “protect my rights”. I can’t do this in Nanjing! I have to turn over! Be the master of my family. Do you understand?

So Chongzhen finally understood and began his own "rights protection".

"Protecting rights" in later generations is also a technical job. Simple petitions often backfire. Besides, there is no place to petition in this era. Fortunately, anyone who is related to technology will have a way to find Wang Chengen. People with high IQs are never afraid of problems, but are afraid that they will not find problems. Chongzhen's tragedy is that he did not even realize the urgency of "protecting rights". As long as the problem is discovered, there are always more solutions than difficulties! I think Newton was not only a natural scientist, but also the British financial system was laid by this master. Newton's fans openly said that the reason why Britain dominated the world for two hundred years was because of the achievements of Newton laying the financial foundation.

Wang's rule of finding the roots was used again. To put it simply, Chongzhen's "rights protection" was just asking for money? Since he wanted money, he was asking for someone and how to ask for it.

Looking for farmers? No. Although Chongzhen only received 1%, okay, even 1.5%, the information shows that the farmers have actually paid more than 6%. That is to say, if the agricultural output value is 600 million, the farmers actually bear 36 million taels of silver, and Chongzhen only received 18 million taels of silver. Both numbers are correct. What about the other 18 million taels of silver? Where did they go? Don't worry, I tell you, the main thing is that the minor officials and gentry below deceived the superiors and the business class, and they took action and swallowed the silver. The right to interpret and operate the laws of the Ming Dynasty is here.

In the hands of some minor officials who were lower than the dictionary, these minor officials, such as officials, dictionary officials, and masters and yamen runners, were basically hereditary in one place, and were passed down from father and son to brother, so it was called "the officials were not feudal, but officials were feudal." The government orders of the Ming Dynasty were conveyed through them and were also implemented by them. These people were mixed with the local gentry and gentry industrial and commercial class and formed a community of interests, and the money was hacked by them. Since Yan Yingyuan was not a Jinshi, he had climbed to the dictionary from such minor officials, so he was not a clean person, otherwise how could he raise 600 dead soldiers?

Speaking of this, do you also have the urge to "rob" like Li Zicheng? It would be strange if you don't have this impulse! How can you swallow the silver in so far and wide that they can spit it out! But, it's wrong! These people are the cornerstones of the grassroots of the Ming Dynasty. The farmers are a mess, but the gentry, gentry, business class and minor officials can mobilize the farmers to the greatest extent. Most of the officials in the Ming Dynasty were verbal and disdainful of practical things.

Literary people, these officials themselves are members of the industrial and commercial class of the gentry, or they have been bribed by them and become their spokespersons. So if you propose to impose industrial and commercial tax, a large number of officials say that you are "competing for profit with the people". They oppose and oppose, and firmly oppose! The state mobilization power of the Ming Dynasty could not be expected to be above the officials, but they could only rely on the industrial and commercial class of the gentry, and these minor officials. Therefore, you must not be strong.

If you want to forcibly "deprive" these "deprived people", they will eventually deprive them from the people below through various channels. Moreover, they will slackewer in the future and will not cooperate non-violently, and your grassroots mobilization force will be even more ruined! So you can only be soft.

Don’t talk to them about benevolence and righteousness. I have to admit that there are also benevolence and righteousness among them. However, in the history of the dispute between "righteousness and profit", everyone verbally said that the word "righteousness" is "righteousness" and in fact, "righteousness" can never be matched with "profit". Therefore, the emperor, the best way is to directly form a community of interests with this grassroots interest group, or to let this community of interests directly serve the emperor through temptation. If you want money to make money and work hard to make them work, you will be invincible! If these grassroots elements used to lead the emperor's nose, then after the emperor turned over, they would lead them by the nose. Whether it is to wipe the Tartars from the earth with 20% of GDP, or to push the war to victory like 5.43 million migrant workers in the Huaihai Battle, as long as the emperor can mobilize them, it is actually not difficult.

With this guiding ideology, there is a Royal Co., Ltd., which is a "public-private partnership" with the Jiangyin elders. This is a pilot project of the "Model Project for National Power Mobilization" and a "First-rich demonstration project". Such a design is to establish a bond between the royal family and the grassroots proletarian cooperation, lead them to the path of capitalism, and maximize the activation of this part of private capital. At the same time, they can follow the emperor's baton, rather than the other way around.

Peacock Mountain Copper Mining Co., Ltd. can be said to have been successful. The next step is how fast the promotion of this model is. In general, it is only a matter of time. Zheng Zhilong's shareholding is considered separately. This company is the first shot for a series of Royal Co., Ltd. in the future. The first shot has been launched. The power of role models is infinite. Driven by huge profits, whether it is the new Royal Co., Ltd. that replicates this model or the transactions of the boss of Peacock Mountain Co., Ltd., it will be natural.

This was originally a task that was almost impossible to achieve, but Chongzhen and Wang Chengen came from later generations and had too many investment projects to make money. They wanted to mine? After digging this mine, there were that mine, and after digging China, there were foreign countries, and they had to produce it. There were too many products. To speculate? Invest in stocks, bonds and foreign exchange, it was easy to do as long as you had money.

Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were describing the new standards of a dynasty at the beginning, but everything was difficult at the beginning, so they could only start from the easiest point to enter.

For example, after the grassroots problems were solved, what about the bureaucrats! Not only were the new bureaucrats in Nanjing, but also the old bureaucrats in Beijing who fled to Nanjing one after another. They wanted them to support themselves unconditionally, which was also an integral part of the "turnaround" plan. To this end, Chongzhen and Wang Chengen designed a "royal club" that surpassed this era, and these bureaucrats will become the first members of this club in the future.
