Chapter 365: Unified Market
The imperial examination system is indeed not very applicable under the new policy system, because under the new policy system, a larger number of administrative personnel are needed, and the imperial examination system in the past cannot meet the requirements.&1t;/p>
Although the imperial examination began to decline, being able to get a merit and fame in the imperial examination is still a shortcut to entering the officialdom, which means you can get a relatively high starting point from the beginning, and it is also a matter of value.&1t;/p>
After the Imperial Examination and Civil Service Examination 6 were over, Zhu Youxiao was relatively leisurely. Although the government affairs of the court increased rapidly after the telegram, he actually had to deal with even less.&1t;/p>
So Zhu Youxiao began to focus more on state-owned capital consortiums, mainly focusing on the exhibition of state-owned capital consortiums, correcting some mistakes, and providing some ideas.&1t;/p>
Not long ago, a march in Nanjing was born in Nanjing where the imperial court had to pay tolls to enter the northern market. Tens of thousands of people participated in the incident.&1t;/p>
Over the course of the eight years of the Apocalypse, great changes occurred in the northern provinces, because after the comprehensive reform, the commodities of state-owned capital completely occupied the northern market, and the trade barriers within the Ming Dynasty continued to expand.&1t;/p>
Such trade barriers have made the external market of Jiangnan commodity smaller.&1t;/p>
"Tian Aiqing, do you think there is any inside story behind this parade?" Zhu Youchao asked Tian Ergeng, very suspicious.&1t;/p>
"I think someone is really behind the scenes." Tian Ergeng said with great affirmation.&1t;/p>
"As long as it is not a mess, they can do whatever they want to march." Zhu Youxiao smiled immediately. It was obviously impossible for ordinary people to organize this matter. It was obviously impossible without those capital businessmen participating.&1t;/p>
If it was just a parade, Zhu Youxiao was still very tolerant.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao can also understand the purpose of these people conducting marchs. It is indeed that the markets of factory owners in various provinces in Jiangnan are constantly being occupied by state-owned capital consortiums, and they are squeezed out of the market through trade barriers. The state-owned capital consortium naturally cannot occupy the entire market, but after the collapse of Jiangnan capital, there will naturally be small and medium-sized enterprises and other private capital in the new policy areas to supplement them, and they can use their powerful economic replenishment capabilities as if they are in trouble.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, trapped beasts are still fighting, maybe it will not be as simple as parades in the future." Tian Ergeng said with some concern. "And the number of unemployed workers in Jiangnan has increased sharply this year, and it is easy to cause chaos."&1t;/p>
"Emperor Yiwei will strengthen the surveillance!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, knowing that the situation could not end so simply.&1t;/p>
After all, the state-owned capital consortium has smashed the jobs of many Jiangnan merchants and even squeezed them out of the market. They must have to fight, and the Jiangnan chaebols are naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death.&1t;/p>
Yang Guorui was relatively calm, believing that the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan could not have a good life, but they could jump out to rebel directly. At most, they would rely on spending money to support some people or create some incidents to try to disrupt the current situation. However, to achieve such a goal, judging from the current power of the court, it is obviously not easy to achieve.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, with the strength of the state-owned capital consortium, there is no need for local trade barriers. You can cancel the trade barriers in the north, let the north and south commodities be interconnected, and build a truly unified market." Yang Guorui suggested to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>
"How can I tell?" Zhu Youxiao asked. Yang Guorui explained: "Now the state-owned capital consortium has mastered a large number of advanced technologies. The competitiveness of commodities is already very strong. It is difficult for southern capital merchants to compete with state-owned enterprises by production technology. At that time, the goods produced by state-owned enterprises are sold well in various provinces in Jiangnan, and those private merchants will naturally be squeezed out of the commodity market. However, if many commodities of the people in Jiangnan cannot be freely circulated across the country, they will severely affect their purchasing power."&1t;/p>
"So at this time, the abolition of local trade barriers can alleviate the unemployment of workers in Jiangnan, and at the same time it does not affect the continued crackdown on the power of private capital."&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao thought about it. While opening the market, he encircled and suppressed private capital. It was obviously not a conflict. The Ming Dynasty itself was a complete country, but the Jiangnan region was currently occupied by the gentry and chaebols. These forces were relatively large and had formed a strong local autonomous system.&1t;/p>
However, the people in Jiangnan and other places were also people of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
While cracking down on those gentry and chaebols, we must also take into account the interests of the people. Although the abolishment of local trade barriers will cause many Jiangnan goods to pour into the northern market again, it is impossible for mainstream goods. However, many small and medium-sized capitals with supplementary meaning will gain a way out.&1t;/p>
"Then we will cancel this trade barrier and establish a unified market." Zhu Youxiao immediately decided. Recently, he has increasingly felt that it is always good to leave three points of room for anything he does, and people still cannot go to extremes.&1t;/p>
Under Zhu Youxiao's decision, the northern trade barrier was finally officially declared over nearly seven years after its implementation. On the same day, major newspapers reported on the court's policy.&1t;/p>
Many Jiangnan businessmen were overjoyed after seeing it. The tightened lasso finally loosened a hole, allowing them to see hope and breathe the oxygen that relies on for survival.&1t;/p>
After the trade barrier was lifted, the goods from each province were transported to any province and no tax was charged during transportation. Of course, the tolls on the road were to be charged, which was the same as the high tolls in later generations. However, the tolls on the road were only within a reasonable range. Usually, a heavy carriage full of carriages would only have to pay more than a dozen copper plates when passing through a toll station.&1t;/p>
This is a unified market, a truly unified market. It is only the biggest difference between China and India. Even in later generations, India still did not form a unified market, and China has had a unified market since ancient times.&1t;/p>
In this unified market, whether it is a new policy province or a province with old system, it can participate in competition.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao dares to play like this, naturally because of his confidence.&1t;/p>
Now that the state-owned capital consortium has grown successfully, who can compete with it?&1t;/p>
In terms of finance, the financial operation model has been formed with the central bank as the core and several state-owned banks as the main force. Whether it is commercial deposits or deposit acquisitions, the scale is getting bigger and bigger.&1t;/p>
Just one is the right to mint coins, which makes private capital unable to bear it.&1t;/p>
State-owned capital is actually invincible. Now all we have to think about is to make less trouble. It doesn’t matter if the gentry and chaebols in Jiangnan are unwilling to accept reforms. It’s time to delay for a few years and reach a certain level. After seeing the effect of the reforms in the north, the people of Jiangnan will naturally support reforms. At that time, the interests of the geniuses in Jiangnan and chaebols will not be able to accept reforms.&1t;/p>
