After hearing this, Du Yinxi said, "Your Majesty, although there is no need to worry that they will really stop the market and affect the stability of the country, I believe that the situation of the merchants who were being copied and the employees of their industries under their names should be considered, and it is also considered to avoid the future when the court punishes the unscrupulous business, the unscrupulous business will take over their employers and resist the court. So, do I want the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue to agree on a reduction in the reserve requirement ratio and taxes?"

"This is a good idea!"

"Many merchants were searched for their homes, and the market share they occupied was empty. Other serious businesses who had not done any wrongdoing were naturally willing to occupy this market. The court's employment and the court's increase in loan scale and tax cuts will help them expand. They must be actively cooperating with the restoration of market order, but they are afraid that the court will fight against counterfeiting and cracking."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

Du Yinxi also smiled and said, "If this happens, I'm afraid many businesses will not be willing to stop the market."

"Unless he is not clean, he will not miss the opportunity to expand his business scale. Therefore, if he really has to stop the market at that time, he must check it carefully in a targeted manner. Maybe he is not because he is dissatisfied with the court's policies, but because he has done something fake, so that the Dongchang will pay attention to it at that time."

Zhu Youxiao continued to say so.

Du Yinxi said: "What Your Majesty said is that, from the perspective of the minister, I am afraid that many businesses will support the imperial court in combating counterfeiting, so that they can have more opportunities, expand their business scale, and occupy more markets. No one will reject the temptation brought by the huge market with mature supporting facilities, technical talents, and strong per capita purchasing power in the Ming Dynasty."

"You are right. The commercial Ming Dynasty may have to have new methods to manage it! But the basic core is to establish authority first and then give kindness. Now it is just to fight counterfeiting, and you still have to be on guard against anti-monopoly in the future."

"After passing through a severe law, the profiteering merchants who want to make huge profits by relying on cheating and cheating will continue to use the rules to become giants in the industry, and then control the rules of one or even multiple industries, and even pose a threat to the court. These monopoly giants are more and more difficult to deal with than immoral business owners who cheat and cheating, because they may not be criticized in the imperial constitution and national laws. They can only forcefully define that monopoly is guilty, and the court must establish anti-monopoly regulations as soon as possible."

Zhu Youxiao said.

After hearing this, Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty is very respectful to you. From my opinion, there is still a problem that needs to be defended, that is, the phenomenon of merchants buying officials and scholars to speak for them. At present, many newspapers and officials have almost become their mouthpieces. Scholars and officials also speak from their standpoints, but they are limited to the guarantee of speech and cannot do anything to them. But letting these people guide public opinion is not a good thing."

"It depends on whether the Han people in the Ming Dynasty are easily bewitched. I believe that the black people are hard to wash into white after all. Han people who have been educated for so many years should also have their own independent thinking ability! It is not just a few so-called scholars who can lead them. I am not afraid that some scholars will become tools for talking with money. In that way, they will only become a joke, and even make the public scholar, the title that originally represents wisdom and erudition, become a title that the whole people laugh at and even contempt."

"But it is inevitable that there are people who are very good at bewitching people's hearts; in this way, if you draw an imperial edict for me, I will summon several famous scholars in the world! I want to hear their views. Whether scholars have no character, do they care about whether they should care about how the future ideological world of the Ming Dynasty should develop, and what do they have any ideas about how the Ming Dynasty will develop."

Zhu Youxiao ordered.

"yes!"

...

"Haha, there are more and more big businesses responding to the strike. The reasons are to stop operations and carry out internal rectification. Of course, this is just an excuse for the strike. After all, no matter how you say it, it is not easy to confront the court openly."

"What's more, I have already published a notice saying that during the rectification period, wages will be suspended directly, and that the workers will also come and force the court."

"There are also the reasons that directly announce the layoffs, which are to change the business strategy, focus on product quality, reduce labor costs, and increase R&D costs. Although it is helpless in the tone, between the lines, it is obviously dissatisfied with the court's current crackdown on counterfeiting merchants."

Du Rizhang and the big merchants who initiated this matter were still proud of the fact that there were many merchants responding.

Mo Lixun was also happy for this, saying, "I don't know what I think today."

"I guess Long Yan was furious?"

Sheng Hongyu, a great merchant involved in this matter, asked this question.

Many big merchants burst into laughter because of this.

And on the first day before the strike month, Du Rizhang called his shopkeepers and ordered: "Continue business tomorrow."

Among them, a more honest shopkeeper asked: "Master, isn't it a strike?"

Du Rizhang glared at him directly and said, "What market is just a fool? Lao Yue, why are you still so honest! Who is the one who keeps money and makes money? Not to mention that the court has scouted the fake goods, even if the nine clans are destroyed, I have to do business! At worst, I don't sell fake goods."

On this side, Mo Lixun also said to his shopkeepers: "Business will be open tomorrow! Only fools will really start the market strike tomorrow! It's just that we should sell pirated books as genuine books, so we can only make less money. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Business will be open tomorrow! And spend more money to collect some shops, see whose shopkeepers and the foreman have no place to eat, and they will double their salary and invite us to come!"

Sheng Hongyu also ordered here.

As a result, by the next day, on the first day of the strike month, there were not many merchants who sacked the market.

There are only a few honest merchants in the city.

Pan Yonggeng was one of them. He made an appointment with Du Rizhang, Mo Lixun and others in advance to go fishing by the lake. As soon as he came out, he saw that the Du family's large pharmacy shop was still open. Therefore, he was shocked: "What's going on?"

Then, Pan Yonggeng saw the Mo family's big book shop as well, and couldn't help but throw the fishing rod to the ground: "These guys! They're so bad, go and call the shopkeepers back!"

"How is it, what is the business situation on Wuchang street?"

Zhu Youxiao, who had arrived in Wuchang, also asked about Du Yinxi on the night of the strike month.
Chapter completed!
