Chapter 372: New Specifications, New Standards
The series of reforms that Zhu Youjiao has carried out in the north in recent years are nothing more than the two aspects of industry and commerce and tax payment. The core is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and limit financial rights.&1t;/p>
Such reforms have now been supported by the majority of small and medium-sized businessmen.&1t;/p>
The court's reform was not to eliminate private capital, but to curb the emergence of those capital tycoons. The behemoth in the market can only be state-owned capital. In this way, the financial power can be restricted and merchants will not extend their hands to the political field.&1t;/p>
However, merchants have positive existence significance in production organization, so small and medium-sized merchants can complete this social division of labor, while state-owned enterprises can assume the leading role of the market.&1t;/p>
Under such a model, small and medium-sized businessmen cannot extend their hands to the political field because their capital is not strong enough. If they rely on money to pioneer the way, so many officials will not have the financial resources to bribe. After all, when it comes to the almost open secret operation level, as long as the officials who are at the edge will ask for bribes.&1t;/p>
Therefore, no small and medium-sized businessman dares to manipulate politics. At most, he can only engage in secret collusion below, and his purpose cannot reach the core of the political.&1t;/p>
Once a small and medium-sized businessman grows into a capital tycoon, it is the target of the operation. Either accept a joint venture and become a part of the state-owned capital consortium, or be surrounded and strangled by state-owned capital. There is no other reason to say. Once it grows to that level, it will touch the bottom line.&1t;/p>
Because those big capital businessmen already have the possibility of reaching out to politics, and at the same time they have also endangered the existence of state-owned capital dominance in the market.&1t;/p>
For example, which of the rich people in later generations did not only occupy a part of their industry? Who can eat alone?&1t;/p>
The same is true in the United States in later generations. Once a businessman outside a consortium rises, he will inevitably face such a choice. No one can be exceptional, because these merchants threaten the status of the consortium. In the history of the United States' anti-China was actually because the Chinese were too smart, knew how to make money and invest, and had a strong sense of crisis and development. Unlike whites, blacks were as easy to fool, and they had to live a life, which threatened the Jews' capital dominance in the United States. By the 21st century, the richest person in the United States was the Jews. The second was the Chinese. If it weren't for the United States' anti-China, the Chinese would have integrated into American society for decades, and the Chinese would have been richer in the United States.&1t;/p>
To put it bluntly, the Chinese have cultural heritage. The Jews are also a nation that has mastered a certain culture. In a circle, cultural competitiveness is the most important, so the United States excludes Chinese from the circle.&1t;/p>
Nowadays, the rise of state-owned capital in the new policy area has occupied a dominant position in the market, and those small and medium-sized private businessmen have also emerged in large numbers. The two sides can live in peace even if they complement each other.&1t;/p>
With the deepening of reform, the emerging small and medium-sized businessmen increasingly support the new policy system. Because under the new policy system, the status of businessmen has begun to continue to improve.&1t;/p>
Especially after the Beijing investigation in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, the attitude of officials in the New Deal area towards local businessmen has changed greatly. From the past contempt and disdain to the welcome attitude.&1t;/p>
Such changes made small and medium-sized businessmen in the new policy areas very happy. At the same time, in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youjiao issued a new set of restrictions on food, clothing, housing and transportation.&1t;/p>
After this standard was introduced, although there were restrictions on food, clothing, housing and transportation, it was already very relaxed, and it would not be restricted to worse than ordinary people.&1t;/p>
In terms of travel, the horses pulling the cart naturally cannot pass a certain specification. The latest policy issued by the court stipulates that the number of horses that merchants ride in cannot exceed 2 horses. Unless there are Minxuns. The highest number of horses with Minxuns can reach six horses, but if a merchant wants to win Minxuns, he must make contributions to the country. With such contributions, showing off can make everyone accept it.&1t;/p>
In terms of clothing, yellow clothes are still restricted, which is restricted by any class. However, people with Minxun can wear yellow clothes, and even the lowest-level Minxun can wear yellow clothes.&1t;/p>
There are also restrictions on residential areas. That is, only people with civil honors can build and live in gardens. According to the height of civil honors, the area is stipulated. The maximum area of gardens cannot exceed 10 acres.&1t;/p>
Businessmen who have not won the honors of the people are not only unable to live in gardens, but their residential area is also limited to less than 60 square meters. Those who have the ability to build can build a large house of 60 square meters, but they cannot build a larger house. If they go beyond this range, the more standard they will be fined and forced rectification.&1t;/p>
In terms of wives and concubines, the past laws are still maintained. The Ming Dynasty's law stipulates that only people like princes and nobles can get concubines. If ordinary people want to get concubines, they need to be over 40 years old and have no children. Basically, they still need to maintain the system of "monogamy".&1t;/p>
Businessmen cannot trample on such a system even if they have money. They can only get a concubine if they have a fourth-rank or above civil honor.&1t;/p>
As for external maintenance, this is really out of control. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten and what else can one force. Unless an official in the officialdom is playing with women, he will be punished by physical rules.&1t;/p>
There are also restrictions on "food". That is, at weddings and funerals, whether it is a businessman or a group, the seating cannot be placed for 30 tables. In fact, the restrictions are relatively small. Usually, if these businessmen want to eat and drink at home, they will put on various delicacies, as long as they don't show off, they don't care.&1t;/p>
At the same time, there are corresponding specifications and restrictions on reception, wedding, funeral, half-life, etc.&1t;/p>
The improvement of the status of merchants is an inevitable result of the historical exhibition. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao issued a new restriction standard. Under this new standard, merchants will not live a worse life than ordinary people. At the same time, they will avoid these merchants showing off in front of the people in a crazy way, so as to avoid corruption of the atmosphere, and at the same time, they will save social resources to lose.&1t;/p>
For example, housing is built with a very large house that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but it is for a family to live in. Not to mention the people's energy consumed, the impact is not good. What would ordinary people think when they see such a huge gap between the rich and the poor?&1t;/p>
At the same time, after the specifications of those folk activities of marriage and funerals are restricted, a certain degree of extravagance and waste can be avoided, so as to avoid showing off and avoid stimulating the intensification of the contradiction between the rich and the poor in society.&1t;/p>
Such a system is completely acceptable for those small and medium-sized businessmen. Although there are restrictions, such a degree of restrictions can allow them to live a much better life than ordinary people. Moreover, most small and medium-sized businessmen will not live such a standard life. Of course, there may be some weird things in this society, showing off their pomp and wealth. Such restrictions must still be available.&1t;/p>
It is also OK to think about this specification, that is, to win the honors of the people by making contributions to the country. With the honors of the people, you can convince the public. The people will not be so disgusted after seeing it.&1t;/p>
