Chapter 1077 The topic of God unfolds
"How many copies? I really haven't thought about this." Comrade Li said.
"This thing is to make small profits but quick turnover, and the profit of this thing is not thin at all based on cost. Your Majesty, think about it, what kind of business can you make the same as the principal?" Zhang Nan said.
Indeed, if you only look at the cost and profit, Zhang Nan's business profit is simply terrible. Principal and profit are the same price. If this profit is placed on ordinary merchants, you may have to wake up in your dreams.
"Your Majesty, don't think this thing is very simple. If this thing works normally, it will also drive the economy of our Chang'an City." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"Driving the economy of Chang'an City? That's a bit too much." Comrade Li said with a frown.
Queen Changsun also said, "Qingquan, although your private club and bar are very profitable, it has not reached the point where it can drive the economy of Chang'an City."
Although Zhang Nan’s bar and private club are very profitable, the most affordable things that these two things provide to the people are not the services inside, but employment positions.
Now Zhang Nan spoke up because she could chew up the economy of Chang'an City. Even Empress Changsun and Comrade Lao Li, who always believed in Zhang Nan, were a little disbelief, and believed that Zhang Nan was talking nonsense.
When he heard that Comrade Lao Li and Empress Changsun did not believe what she said, Zhang Nan also smiled and said, "Master, how many steps do you think it takes to make a dish?"
"This..." Comrade Lao Li naturally knew that what Zhang Nan was talking about was not the steps to cook, but for a moment, Comrade Lao Li had no answer, so Comrade Lao Li shook his head honestly.
"This dish is purchased from the vegetable farmers, meat is purchased from the meat merchants, and the same is true for seasonings. So where did these merchants buy it?" Zhang Nan said in a straightforward manner.
"This is naturally from the landlords around Chang'an City.
"Yes, that's true. Your Majesty, have you noticed that because these farmers have no land, the things they planted can only be after paying enough of the country's portion. The rest are pitiful, and more things are taken away by the landlord?" Zhang Nan said.
"Isn't this always the case?" Comrade Old Li said after thinking about it.
"Yes, but this highlights a problem. After these farmers have paid a lot of labor, more money has been earned by the landlords." Zhang Nan said.
"But what's the solution? Do you want to buy a piece of land for these farmers to cultivate? Let them farm specifically, and you can use the things they grow in your store?"
What Zhang Nan said was already very obvious. If Comrade Li could not even think of this, then he would not be Li Shimin.
What Zhang Nan said to Comrade Lao Li is to form an industrial chain, a special agricultural industrial chain.
The Tang Dynasty did not have a special agricultural industry chain. All the grain and vegetables in Chang'an City were collected by merchants from landlords around Chang'an City, and there was no one who made a living by agriculture.
Of course, officials are also among the landlords.
Generally speaking, people with large tracts of land will not be short of money at home. They will hire a large number of people without land to help them farm and accumulate their funds, which has created a vicious cycle.
The poorer the poorer the richer the richer.
There is a strange connection between the land and ordinary people.
When an ordinary person has no land, he will sell his labor force and work for the landlord, and earn rewards through his hard work, but the things he cultivates do not belong to him.
And those landlords who hired the people to farm and sold the fruits of their labor, they only had to pay a very small price to make huge profits. The richer they were, the more they bought land, and the more they bought, the more they earned.
"I naturally have this meaning, but I thought about it for a long time and felt that this was not a long-term solution. After all, there were too many landlords in my Tang Dynasty, and the role of this landlord is usually played by nobles."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to pay taxes for the land you rewarded to those nobles." Zhang Nan said.
The Tang Dynasty had a vast land and a vast population, and it was not very good to see the population on such a vast land.
Therefore, Comrade Lao Li is very stingy with titles, but never stingy with land. On the contrary, Comrade Lao Li is very happy to reward land, because the more land is rewarded, the more new land it will be reclaimed.
When Comrade Lao Li rewards him, in addition to normal gold, silver and jewelry, the most rewards are the ones.
"In addition to these nobles, there are also businessmen. Anyway, as long as they have spare money, they will buy land." Zhang Nan continued.
The people have extraordinary enthusiasm for land. Many people spend their whole lives just to save enough money and buy a few acres of land so that they don’t have to worry about their livelihoods.
It seems that land is the guarantee of life.
But this is not the case, because the problem of land annexation has never been well solved, but this does not affect the people's enthusiasm for land.
"Once the land annexation reaches a peak, the land in the hands of the people will become less and less, but if the tax rate remains unchanged, the taxes distributed to them will naturally increase, and when the people can't afford it..."
At this time, Comrade Li did not realize that this topic had been unveiled by Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan had successfully shifted the topic from building a affordable to driving the economy of Chang'an City, and from driving the economy of Chang'an City to the issue of land annexation.
However, it seems that Comrade Lao Li has nothing to do with it. Instead, he is more interested in the land issue mentioned by Zhang Nan.
"At that time, these people will be overwhelmed and take risks." Comrade Lao Li said slowly.
As the emperor, Comrade Lao Li naturally had a clear understanding of the reasons for how the demise of all dynasties, but all the demise of dynasties cannot escape the problem of land annexation.
Some are caused by the demise caused by land, while others are catalysts. But in short, when all dynasties perished, the land problem was an inescapable cause.
"That's right, so the emperor, even if I buy fertile land and hand it over to the people to take care of it, even if I can't make money with this land, it will be a cure for the symptoms but not the root cause." Zhang Nan said with emotion.
"Since you can ask this question, you must have thought of a solution." Comrade Li also asked with his eyes lit up.
