Chapter 338 The emergence of business gangs Personal emotions influenced judgment, causing Ming to dig a huge hole. Officials are oppressed, businessmen are oppressed, and only the common people enjoy the benefits. Over time, it will inevitably provoke the combined attack of the first two forces. It was only a matter of time before businessmen and officials went from looking down on each other to wearing a pair of pants and sharing the same hatred. Thinking of this. Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood everything and realized the general mistake. If we had paid more attention to business from the beginning of the dynasty and kept a tight grip on the money bags of big businessmen, the current situation would certainly not be as embarrassing as this. If big businessmen don't break away from the control of the state, what will happen even if they are allowed to become bigger and stronger?

It didn't turn around at first. At this moment, Lin Che's magnetic voice sounded from next door, pulling him from his thoughts back to reality. "The world's water conservancy projects, ferries, and markets all belong to the wealthy gentry. These things that are related to the lifeblood of the country have not been controlled by the emperor for thousands of years."

"In fact, it is not difficult to find that under the continuous pressure of businessmen, there are already signs of evolution." "Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants suddenly emerged and integrated the isolated merchants. From the beginning, they joined the group to keep warm, and now they are in the nature of a business gang." Lin Che suddenly said:

"Overtly or covertly, there is collusion between officials and businessmen. Officials are afraid of getting raped and dare not be greedy, so they want fame, wealth and prestige, while businessmen are fearless in order to make money." "We hit it off immediately and each got what they needed." "Any state-owned or elite industry will not directly enter the production field, but will look for transaction nodes in the circulation link and control it in the name and means of the court." "Then we seek more benefits under the banner of franchising. This type of business is like a ferry. If you occupy a certain point, you can pluck the geese and enjoy the benefits." "In short, the essence of profits for officials and businessmen is not to create value, but to achieve their goals by increasing and sharing transaction costs." "Stealing food from the mouth of the imperial court and cutting flesh from the people." "Compared to the integration of government and business, I prefer to call it a crony economy." "If Ming Dynasty develops like this, it will definitely die." Zhu Biao: "!!!" Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!" As soon as Lin Che said these words, everyone turned pale. Not only did Zhu Biao here hold his breath, but even Lao Zhu and his wife on the other side were 'thumping' in their hearts. Because of small businessmen, the Ming Dynasty will fall again? "this?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. At this moment, he only felt that his scalp was slightly numb. In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from repeating the mistakes of the Song Dynasty, it continued to suppress businessmen and officials from the beginning of the dynasty, and strictly guarded against the collusion between officials and businessmen to compete for profits with the people. However, I never expected that instead of being curbed, it actually promoted the evolution of the two, even more excessively than in the two Song Dynasties.

"The aristocratic economy, the integration of government and business, Mr. Lin summed it up incisively, how can it be good for these people to live in a nest of snakes and rats?" "The resources produced are fixed. If you want to make more money, you have to suck the blood of the country and wash the marrow of the people." "Businessmen forming a business gang is not the same as officials forming a clique. These damn bitches." "You can't handle business, but you can challenge us." "What is clear cannot be exposed to what is hidden, and what is hidden cannot be exposed to what is dark. The rise and fall of a country is not as important as a few scraps of silver in the pocket." "They all deserve to be killed." Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's rage, Empress Ma shook her head slightly and sighed:

"Okay, stop whining." "No matter how much you curse, it won't solve the problem. Could it be that you really want to kill everyone?" “Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.” "You'd better not cause any trouble." Zhu Yuanzhang sat down again depressedly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said angrily:

"Oh-sister." "We know." "We are already frustrated enough." "Since Mr. Lin trusts our boss, I, as the father, will definitely give him enough face." "You think we are willing to tire ourselves out. If the boss can take charge of his own business, we will be happy to take a rest." Hear this. Queen Ma gave the other party a subtle glance. He hesitated to speak and did not answer any more words. I was born to be a carefree person. If I could just let it go, I would be afraid that the old sow would climb a tree. the other side. Zhu Biao stood up in panic and saluted Lin Che. He was far less calm than his parents who were eavesdropping next door. At this moment, his heart was in his throat. "I dare to ask Mr. Lin, is there a way to solve it?" "Officials are short of money and businessmen are short of persuasion. The two complement each other and are bound to be like a fish in water." "Whether it's for the country or for the people." "It's all a disaster." The lessons learned from the two Song dynasties are there. False prosperity is like a castle in the air. It will fall apart at the slightest sign of trouble. The people have no money and the country has no money. On the contrary, the powerful and landlord class are extremely rich. Can such a dynasty be saved?

I originally thought that the Ming Dynasty had bypassed the pitfall of the two Song Dynasties that destroyed the country, but it turned out that I and my father were too simplistic. Faced with continued oppression, ordinary people will also pick up hoes and gather in crowds to rebel, not to mention the most enlightened people in the world? Although they dare not rebel and start an uprising, it does not mean that they will sit back and wait for death.

At this moment, the Prince's Financial Audit Department realized that those who do not plan for the overall situation are not good enough for a certain field. If you think about the problem too one-sidedly, you will only keep digging holes. Seeing Zhu Biao looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, Lin Che couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, and waved her hand to signal him to calm down:

"Don't panic." "There is still hope." "You will also be an emperor in the future. When you become an emperor, you must have the aura to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you." "You have to stop pretending." "If even the superiors start to panic, why should the people below become a mess?" "On the plus side, you can still learn from your father, but only in this aspect." "You understand what I mean?" Hear this. Zhu Biao nodded thoughtfully, then saw him take a long breath, calm down and come to sit next to Lin Che. Keep your eyes peeled, especially serious. "In fact, this problem is easy to solve. It is not difficult, and it is not easy to say it is simple." Lin Che thought for a moment and smiled: "The important thing is that only you can do this." "It's definitely not possible to count on your father." "He can't do this job." Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping outside the wall, his eyes wide open, his face full of undisguised bewilderment, thinking:

"We are the emperor." “If we can’t do it, who else can?” "Mr. Lin is overestimating the boss." "Is it such an exaggeration?" Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, Lin Che's magnetic voice sounded again. "Don't believe it." "I said your father can't do it. Your father just can't do it. It's useless even if the King of Heaven comes." Looking at Zhu Biao who looked stunned, Lin Che spread her hands and said with a smile: "Your father is too murderous, and his words and actions are too emotional. He is a complete slave hijacked by his emotions." “Sometimes it may work wonders, but most of the time it’s twice the result with half the effort. "Don't let him get involved, otherwise it will cause serious trouble."

"Zhu Yuanzhang:"? ? ? " (End of this chapter)
