Chapter 365: Unified Market

The imperial examination system is indeed not very applicable under the new policy system, because under the new policy system, a larger number of administrative personnel are needed, and the imperial examination system in the past was unable to meet.●⌒,

Although the imperial examination began to decline, being able to get a merit and fame in the imperial examination is still a shortcut to entering the officialdom, which means you can get a relatively high starting point from the beginning, and it is also a matter of value.

After the imperial examinations and civil service examinations were completed one after another, Zhu Youxiao was relatively leisurely. Although the government affairs of the court increased rapidly after the telegram, even fewer people were asked to deal with him.

So Zhu Youxiao began to focus more on state-owned capital consortiums, mainly focusing on the development of state-owned capital consortiums, correcting some mistakes, and providing some ideas.

Not long ago, a march in Nanjing was in Nanjing where people protested against the imperial court collecting tolls to enter the northern market. Tens of thousands of people participated.

Over the course of the eighth year of the Apocalypse, great changes occurred in the northern provinces, because after the comprehensive reform, the commodities of state-owned capital completely occupied the northern market, and the trade barriers within the Ming Dynasty continued to expand.

Such trade barriers have made the external market for Jiangnan goods smaller.

"Tian Aiqing, do you think there is any inside story behind this parade?" Zhu Youchao asked Tian Ergeng, very suspicious.

"I think someone is really behind the scenes." Tian Ergeng said with great affirmation.

"As long as it is not a mess, they can just march." Zhu Youxiao smiled immediately. It was obviously impossible that this matter was organized spontaneously by ordinary people. It was obviously impossible without those capital businessmen participating.

If it was just a parade, Zhu Youxiao would be very tolerant.

Zhu Youxiao could also understand the purpose of these people's march. It is indeed that the markets of factory owners in various provinces in Jiangnan are constantly occupied by state-owned capital consortiums, and they are squeezed out of the market through trade barriers. The state-owned capital consortium naturally cannot occupy the entire market, but after the collapse of Jiangnan capital, there will naturally be small and medium-sized enterprises and other private capital in the New Deal area to give full play to their powerful economic replenishment capabilities as they take advantage of the situation.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, trapped beasts are still fighting, maybe it will not be as simple as parades in the future." Tian Ergeng said with some concern. "And the number of unemployed workers in Jiangnan has increased sharply this year, and it is easy to cause unrest."

"Encyclopedia Guard will strengthen surveillance!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, knowing that the development of the situation could not end so simply.

After all, the state-owned capital consortium has smashed the jobs of many Jiangnan merchants and even squeezed them out of the market. They must have to fight, and the Jiangnan chaebols are naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death.

Yang Guorui was relatively calm, believing that the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan could not have a good life, but jumped out to rebel directly. At most, they would rely on spending money to support some people or create some incidents to try to disrupt the current situation. However, to achieve such a goal, judging from the current power of the court, it is obviously not easy to achieve.

"Your Majesty, with the strength of the state-owned capital consortium, there is no need for local trade barriers. You can cancel the trade barriers in the north, let the commodities in the south be interconnected, and build a truly unified market." Yang Guorui suggested to Zhu Youxiao.

"How can I tell?" Zhu Youxiao asked. Yang Guorui explained: "Now the state-owned capital consortium has mastered a large number of advanced technologies. The competitiveness of commodities is already very strong. It is difficult for southern capital merchants to compete with state-owned enterprises by production technology. At that time, the goods produced by state-owned enterprises are sold well in various provinces in Jiangnan, and those private merchants will naturally be squeezed out of the commodity market. However, if many commodities of Jiangnan people cannot be freely circulated across the country, they will severely affect their purchasing power."

"So at this time, the lifting of local trade barriers can alleviate the unemployment of workers in Jiangnan, and at the same time it will not affect the continued crackdown on the power of private capital."

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and opened the market while encircling and suppressing private capital. It was obviously not a conflict. The Ming Dynasty itself was a complete country, but the Jiangnan region was currently occupied by the gentry and chaebols. These forces were relatively large and had formed a powerful local autonomy system.

However, the people in Jiangnan and other places were also people of the Ming Dynasty.

While cracking down on the gentry and chaebols, we must also take into account the interests of the people. Although the abolishment of local trade barriers will cause many Jiangnan goods to pour into the northern market again, it is impossible for mainstream goods. However, many small and medium-sized capitals with supplementary meaning will gain a way out.

"Then we will cancel this trade barrier and establish a unified market." Zhu Youxiao immediately decided. Recently, he has increasingly felt that it is always good to leave three points of room for anything he does, and people still cannot go to extremes.

Under Zhu Youxiao's decision, the northern trade barrier was finally officially declared over nearly seven years after its implementation. On that day, major newspapers reported on the court's policy.

Many Jiangnan merchants were overjoyed after seeing it. The tightened lasso finally loosened, allowing them to see hope and breathe the oxygen that relies on for survival.

After the trade barrier was lifted, the goods from each province were transported to any province and would not be charged any tax during transportation. Of course, the tolls on the road were to be charged, which was the same as the tolls on the expressways in later generations. However, the tolls on the road were only within a reasonable range. Usually, a heavy carriage full of carriages would only have to pay more than a dozen copper plates when passing through a toll station.

This is a unified market, a truly unified market. It is only the biggest difference between China and India. Even in later generations, India still did not form a unified market, and China has had a unified market since ancient times.

In this unified market, both new policy provinces and old systems can participate in competition.

Zhu Youxiao dared to play like this, naturally because of his confidence.

Now that the state-owned capital consortium has grown successfully, who can compete with it?

In terms of finance, a financial operation model with the central bank as the core and several state-owned banks as the main force has been formed. Whether it is commercial deposits or deposit acquisitions, the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

Just one is the right to mint coins, which makes private capital unable to bear it.
