Chapter 301
Buzz!
Almost instantly, the expression on Wu Zhao's face changed.
His eyes suddenly turned to Gao Yang in the center of the imperial study, and his phoenix eyes condensed, realizing the key point of the problem!
Cui Xinghe's face also changed, and he became a little uneasy.
Although he didn't understand Gao Yang's previous so-called law of conservation of energy, he understood this sentence.
When the original interests became a win-win situation for the people and the court because of the intervention of the Qingmiao Law, who would lose money?
A terrifying four-character word emerged, the world's aristocratic family!
Cui Xinghe's face changed greatly.
"Yes, it is the noble families in the world!"
"Originally, the common people could not afford to live, so they could only borrow from the noble families and landlords in various places. The noble families took advantage of this to annex the common people's land and made a lot of money from it!"
"But the emergence of the Qingmiao Law changed the distribution of interests. The common people can borrow less interest, the court makes a lot of money from it, and the noble families can't even get a penny!"
"This is the problem!"
"If you want to do this, you can only reform the law!"
The words were so powerful that Wu Zhao looked even more moved.
Especially the last word Gao Yang said, which made her pupils shrink.
Reform!
Since ancient times, reform can strengthen the country, which everyone knows, but it often touches the interests of too many people.
Don't reform easily unless it is the most urgent time!
Cui Xinghe looked ugly.
But now he has no choice. Once Gao Yang makes this matter a reality and accuses him of a plan to harm the country, then he will be finished!
At that time, let alone Cui Jian's concubine, once Wu Zetian is furious, even the entire Cui family will be finished!
"Master Gao, since ancient times, reforms have been for the purpose of strengthening the country, which will definitely anger other interest groups!"
"But just because the interests of the world's aristocratic families are violated, you will not do it, and let the land annexation continue to be serious until it endangers the country's foundation?"
"Master Gao, this is a bit unreasonable, right?"
Cui Xinghe narrowed his eyes and his voice suddenly rang out.
Seeing this, Gao Yang also spoke directly, "Master Cui, this is wrong, I have always supported reforms!"
"But this Qingmiao Law, I will never support it, because the variables of the Qingmiao Law are too large and difficult to control!"
"Why?"
Cui Xinghe continued to ask.
"In fact, the seven countries had introduced a Changping warehouse system many years ago. Although the content of each country is different, the core is similar."
"In a good year, the supply of grain in the market exceeds the demand, so the grain price begins to fall. At this time, the government comes forward to purchase grain at an appropriate price to prevent excessive decline in grain prices and damage to the interests of the people!"
"And in a disaster year, the grain harvest is poor, the supply of grain in the market is less than the demand, and the grain price begins to rise. At this time, the government can sell the grain stored in the good year at a low price to stabilize the grain price!"
"This is the macro-control of the grain price in the market to protect the interests of the people. This method is very good, but what about now?"
Cui Xinghe was speechless for a moment.
Gao Yang's voice continued to sound, without joy or sadness, as if he was talking about something extremely normal.
"The policy is not implemented effectively!"
"Officials are corrupt!"
"Financial difficulties in various places!"
"Speculators are rampant!"
"Not to mention that officials are embezzling food and pocketing it!"
These words made Wu Zhao and Cui Xinghe look more serious and even pale.
Wu Zhao couldn't help but say, "So what Gao Qing meant..."
Gao Yang stood up straight, and his eyes seemed to see through everything.
"What I mean is very simple. No matter how good a policy is, it needs to be implemented by local officials. The price of grain changes at any time. What is a high price and what is a low price?"
"And in some places, officials are afraid of taking responsibility, so after reporting to higher levels, when the decision is made, the price of grain changes."
"Not to mention that some wealthy businessmen also take advantage of the operating mechanism of Changping Warehouse. They collude with officials for their own interests. When Changping Warehouse purchases grain, they start to drive up the price of grain. When Changping Warehouse sells at a low price, they start to sweep it and sell it at a high price to make huge profits!"
"Once the finances are bad, there is a famine, and the treasury is at a low point, the money used by Changping Warehouse to purchase grain is also used as military expenses!"
"The policy is a good policy, but once it is passed down and poorly implemented, it will often change and even become a hazard!"
The words, like a storm, suddenly swept the entire imperial study. Wu Zhao looked serious and was shocked.
Gao Yang's words woke her up!
The Qingmiao Law is a good policy, but can the people really benefit from it?
Is this strategy really so perfect?
Just like the emergence of Changping Warehouse, it is a good policy, but now it is almost in name only, and the reason behind it is just as Gao Yang said.
Huh!Wu Zetian let out a long sigh, and then said to Gao Yang, "I understand what Mr. Gao said!"
"This Qingmiao Law seems perfect, but in fact it will be like Changpingcang, it will not be implemented, and it will cause more serious consequences. So you buried a big pit for the King of Yan?"
Gao Yang nodded, "Yes!"
"The Qingmiao Law will also face a very serious problem, that is, the ability of the ruling officials. If the local officials are outstanding, the people will naturally benefit from it, and they can also suppress the local families!"
"Otherwise, this is a disaster!"
"The people will suffer more!"
"Secondly, since the Qingmiao Law is a loan by the government, certain restrictions must be made. If a household can borrow it at will, what if countless people borrow it for free?"
"This is human nature, don't look down on it!"
