On July 30, a crisis broke out in Lishan’s political discussion. The landlords and merchants jointly wrote a letter to Li Hu, saying that he would withdraw from the political discussion and leave Chang'an.

On the same day, Prime Minister Li Gang, Deputy Chief Political Affairs Li Fu, Zhao Mingcheng and others also wrote to Li Hu, accusing the landlords and merchants of seizing power and interests in the name of change, shaking the foundation of the country, and demanding that Li Hu give a firm crackdown and system.

Li Hu rushed to Mount Li to listen to the presentations of both sides.

During this Lishan political discussion, the most distinctive feature of the reform launched by Li Hu was that it greatly improved the status of craftsmen and merchants and gave them the power to participate in politics and discuss politics. This was the first in history, an unprecedented innovation, and it was also a completely different place from the reforms of Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, and Cai Jing.

With both agriculture, industry and commerce, common development has become the basic national policy of China and Turkey. Then the status of craftsmen and merchants will naturally be improved and the power to participate in politics and make decisions is inevitable, and no force can hinder it.

However, the history of Middle-earth for more than a thousand years and the lofty status of Confucianism for more than a thousand years is important.

The country-governing strategy that seems to have become "natural" has left an extremely profound mark on Middle-earth. From emperors, bureaucrats, Confucians, farmers, craftsmen, merchants, all of them are deeply trapped in this solid shackle.

The emperor, bureaucrats and scholars have history. Evidence and academic theory are based on it. When the vital interests of the "scholars" class are seriously damaged, they oppose this reform strategy at all costs. The status of warriors can be improved, but the status of craftsmen and merchants must not be improved. For more than a thousand years of untouchables want to turn themselves into masters, so dream.

Craftsmen and merchants have always been hit and bullied, but for more than a thousand years, they have been working hard to improve their status, especially merchants, who have been at all costs. By this dynasty, an opportunity finally emerged. As the contradiction between population and land became increasingly fierce, the Song Dynasty had to develop industry and commerce, but because the "scholars" firmly controlled their rule, they were still trampled at the lowest level of society.

Today, Li Hu appeared, and Li Hu's new changes appeared. The core of this new change is to create wealth. Li Hu placed his hope of creating wealth on the development of industry and commerce, so he made an amazing innovation, improving the status of craftsmen and merchants and giving them the power to participate in politics and make decisions.

The successful political discussion in Mount Li was held, and merchants from all over the country gathered in Chang'an. From another perspective, merchants urgently needed this opportunity to rise up, and urgently needed the power to participate in political discussions to join in resource allocation and wealth distribution. Therefore, they supported Li Hu and supported Li Hu, hoping to use Li Hu's powerful force to realize their dreams for generations.

Li Hu initiated the Lishan political discussion and asked landlords and merchants to discuss the reform strategy together. This was a means to promote the implementation of the reform, so the bureaucrats in the court not only did not object, but supported it very much. In the first stage of Lishan political discussion, although there were two strategic oppositions, the Dongxi faction and Xiguan faction emerged, but in the end, under the threat of Li Hu, the two sides reached an agreement and formulated a series of basic national policies. Then the second stage of Lishan political discussion. At this time, the battle for power between the two opposing classes of "scholars" and "agriculture, industry and commerce" suddenly broke out.

Li Hu was unexpected, and the bureaucrats also did not expect it. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem.

Every specific policy of change involves the government office, bureaucracy and authority, which is actually the re-division of administrative power.

As landlords representing the interests of the three major classes of agriculture, industry and commerce, the workshop owners and merchants will certainly not let them improve their status and join in the distribution of resources and wealth. Therefore, there will inevitably be a battle for administrative power between bureaucratic groups representing the interests of the "scholars" and landlords and merchants representing the interests of the three major classes of "agricultural, industry and commerce".

In the first stage of Lishan's political discussion, in order to establish the basic national policy as soon as possible, Li Hu once made a compromise with the bureaucratic group and the landlord merchant group. The compromise with the landlord merchant group was to allow them to join in the distribution of resources and wealth, that is, to give them part of the power in the establishment of the Three Divisions Regulation Department and the Supreme Jiaozi Affairs.

In addition, Fan Zhichang, who represented the interests of this group, served as the deputy governor and Yan Qing as the chief of the Municipal Yishu Department, which had already made considerable concessions for the court.

However, after the Lishan Political Consultation entered the second stage, Fan Zhichang and Yanqing joined hands with the big landlords and merchants to launch a comprehensive "power seizure" war against the court in various reforms such as official system, imperial examination, finance, education, etc. For example, it is required to establish an independent organization composed of big landlords and merchants that are not controlled by the court to manage, supervise the formulation, implementation and operation of business systems in various industries, and requires scholars representing the interests of the group to be at the central and local levels of finance, laws, supervision, etc.

The government office held an important position and required the revision of the imperial examination system and education system when the status of agriculture, industry and commerce were generally improved, etc.

To sum up, landlords and merchant groups need to obtain more administrative power, more decision-making power and execution power. They not only need to continuously improve and improve their status in the form of laws, but also use the opportunities of change to gain more power to participate in politics and govern. They must try every means to break the monopoly of the "scholar" class over the power of rule, and completely get rid of the tragic fate of the three major classes of "agricultural, industrial and commercial" being arbitrarily slaughtered by the ruling class.

The bureaucratic group led by Li Gang and Li Fu immediately refused, believing that the court has improved the status of craftsmen and merchants in the form of laws and allowed landlords to a limited extent, workshop owners and merchants to participate in politics and make decisions. Now, these people not only do not know how to be grateful, but have gained more strength and interests, and are greedy and shameless, showing the nature of merchants seeking profit.

The big landlords and merchants led by Chengdu's great merchant Changsun Kangning and Nanyang's great merchant Wang An believed that since the reform strategy of the imperial court had been established, we should vigorously develop industry and commerce and improve the status of craftsmen and merchants, the imperial court should take real actions, not go back on one's own words and deliberately deceive, and not use the noble name of change to plunder the landlords in disguise.

The wealth of merchants.

Both sides refused to give in for their respective interests. There was no trust at all. The bureaucrats in the court actually wanted to deceive the landlords and merchants in the name of change in order to defraud their wealth. These landlords and merchants were hit hard by the court and were beaten and killed by the court. In addition to being angry, they also developed a skill that was more cunning than foxes, and they would not show off their eagles without seeing rabbits.

On the first day of August, Li Hu invited a banquet in the mansion to the grand merchant Changsun Kangning, a magistrate merchant from Chengdu, Zhao Yanguang, a magistrate merchant from Hanzhong, Liu Jingyuan, a magistrate merchant from Xiangyang, Wang An, a magistrate merchant from Nanyang, and Cao Jian, a magistrate merchant from Luoyang.

Fan Zhichang, the deputy governor, and Yan Qing, the chief of the Municipal Yi, were accompanied by him.

These giant merchants are well-known in various places. Their operations involve everything from land, mining, weaving, junk and transportation. At first, Li Hu thought that the old emperor should be the richest man in the Song Dynasty. Later, he realized that the old emperor's private property was not the best in the Song Dynasty. Especially since the old emperor fled to the southeast, Li Shishi secretly took this wealth under his name, because the wealth in Hebei, Shandong, Jianghuai and other places has been gradually lost, and the wealth in the southeast is difficult to control. Li Shishi is now

The actual controllable wealth can only be considered medium among the rich people in Sichuan, Shu, Jinghu and Jingxi. From this we can see the wealth strength of these rich people in Sichuan, Shu, Jinghu and Jingxi.

The two incomes of the Song Dynasty, the land rent and commercial tax, were normally as high as more than 50 million guan, and at the best time, it was as high as about 100 million guan. Excluding the immeasurable concealment and embezzlement, the total wealth that contributed only the 50 million guan tax was an astronomical figure. Of course, this is under peaceful conditions. Once war is in chaos, the loss of wealth, whether it is a country or an individual, is very amazing. For example, Bianjing, the total wealth in the most prosperous period is incomparable to the total wealth in the current declining period, one in the sky and the other in the underground.

Only when peace can wealth be created and maintained. Without peace and stability, there will be no wealth. Bianjing's wealth is the best in the world, but since Li Hu moved the capital and plundered him, are there still rich people in Bianjing? They all went bankrupt, some even lost their lives, and those who saved their lives fled to the southeast.

Therefore, the rich people in Sichuan, Shu and other places are willing to cooperate with Li Hu, hoping to use Li Hu's force to protect their wealth. Now that Li Hu has launched changes, he has given them more benefits, how could they give up? However, they do not believe in the court, nor do they believe that the court's reform strategy can be continued for a long time

Go, they were worried that the court would plunder their wealth in disguise so that they could squeeze them out and eat them while maintaining stability. Under this ambivalent mentality, their pursuit of greater power and interests is an active defense and a temptation.

Fan Zhichang and Yan Qing told Li Hu about the conflicts between these landlords and merchants, and they asked Li Hu a few questions for these people.

When did Li Hu ascend the throne and become emperor? This change was initiated by Li Hu, and the change strategy was formulated by Li Hu. If you want to succeed and continue for a long time, Li Hu’s emperor is the primary condition. Otherwise, who can guarantee that the change can continue?

Is Li Hu determined to unify Zhongtu? Only when Zhongtu is unified can their interests be maximized. Otherwise, under the pattern of three parts of the world, wars will continue, and even if policies benefit them, their wealth will continue to decrease.

Will Li Hu's reform strategy change? If Li Hu's current reform strategy is just to unify Zhongtu, Zhongtu and the world is stable, and he will follow the old path and suppress and suppress landlords and merchants, then their interests will suffer astonishing losses. If he is eaten by Li Hu in the future, it is better to die with Li Hu now.

Without too much thought, Li Hu immediately invited representatives of these people to make a solemn promise to them.

If you know the truth about becoming an emperor and establishing a country, you can just click it until it is done. If the reform strategy continues to remain unchanged, it will start from the fierce contradiction between population and land. From this, it will conclude that the development of industry and commerce is the only solution. If industry and commerce develop, the status of craftsmen and merchants will inevitably improve. If the status is improved, they will inevitably gain the power to participate in politics and make decisions, and then they will inevitably join the distribution of resources and wealth.

The atmosphere of the meal was very good, and the host and the host spoke freely, and both parties achieved their goals.

"Since the founding of this dynasty, we have been developing industry and commerce, but as you said, the scholars controlled the court. For their own interests, they tried hard to suppress you while developing industry and commerce, which also curbed the development of industry and commerce." Li Hu smiled, "Scholars are like grazers, who want horses to run and not eat grass. The result can be imagined."

"If Middle-earth has come to this day, if we want to usher in a powerful new dynasty, we must change and take the path of vigorously developing industry and commerce." Li Hu said solemnly, "This is a necessity of history, this is a torrent of historical development, and anyone or any force will be
