Chapter 2530: What are the fears of historical merits and crimes, competing for benefits with the people, for the people

At this time, Shen Mo smiled at Long Li'er and said, "Order the industrial department to speed up the production of silk reeling machines and textile machines."

"After all, it's enough to use more than ten days to transport cocoons, and such things are enough for this season at most."

"When the spring silkworm season arrives next year, I will set up a silk reel factory in every state where the mulberry silkworm industry is concentrated!"

"Oh my god! That's great!"

As soon as Shen Mo said this, an amazing scene appeared in front of everyone.

If there were any place where mulberry silkworms were produced in the Song Dynasty, there were silk reel factories or even silk textile factories in Tongzhou.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be no injustice or exploitation of the people in the entire silk industry! By then, the terrifying processing and production capacity in every factory and the huge benefits brought by it will make all silkworm farmers smile.

At that time, they were not forced to raise silkworms by the government with silk taxes, but were happy to expand silkworm production quickly.

In the short term, the dividends occupied by corrupt officials and monopoly silk merchants will quickly flow into the hands of silkworm farmers.

After those weaving workshops enter the Tongzhou factory and become workers, they will also be the second batch of winners of interests.

After that, the market started to operate, and a large amount of silk could become a product that more people could afford.

Moreover, the vast and huge overseas market, the big mouth that constantly swallows silk but is never able to fill it will eventually be filled with Chinese silk! At that time, wealth within the world will quickly concentrate on the silk industry of the Song Dynasty.

In this, not only the people benefited, but the country's tax revenue increased, but also the Huaiyang Consortium and the entire Tongzhou industry showed explosive growth! When everyone thought of this, they were deeply shocked by their commander's mind and vision.

During this tremendous changes involving the mulberry silkworm industry, Shen Mo actually took into account the interests of the people, the country and his own consortium at the same time.

While he killed countless borers, he also made the entire Song Dynasty change as if it was earth-shaking, and he went faster and faster!... After that, Shen Mo formulated a detailed plan and timetable for this action at the venue.

Here, the time when Mid-Autumn silkworms were launched was used as a node to mobilize incredibly huge resources.

This action exerted Shen Mo's influence in the court and relied on the strong financial resources of the Huaiyang Consortium.

Coupled with the terrifying transportation capabilities of Taishan Trading Company, and Shen Mo's most confident advanced industrial productivity! This huge plan was immediately launched under Shen Mo's arrangement.

Not long after, a huge wave of riots was set off in the courts and people of the Song Dynasty!... When Shen Mo's memorial was sent to Lin'an, he reported to Emperor Zhao and Rui.

When the emperor asked the emperor to cancel the heavy taxes on silkworm farmers and instead collect silk trade taxes.

The memorial immediately caused a stir in the court! However, although the big guys in the court were extremely angry, they had no way to argue Shen Mo's plan in theory.

Because Shen Mo made it clear when he submitted the memorial that all taxes exempt from the people will be collected triple from the tax customs side.

Shen Mo also made an agreement with the emperor in the court that if what Shen Mo said was inconsistent with the facts.

He did not receive so much money, which led to a decrease in the income of the court.

In that case, Shen Mo will use silver to make up the insufficient amount for the court when deducting 60% of his taxes.

And one year later, the court can automatically restore the changed commercial tax to its original state.

But if it was really as Shen Mo expected, the court would receive more than three times the commercial tax.

Then the tax system after this reform will be implemented as a permanent policy in the Song Dynasty.

People have made a promise to slap their chests and are willing to use their own money to bet with you. What can these civil and military officials do to show off their verbal battles with Shen Mo?

...But while these people were speechless, some people jumped out with their teeth and claws, blatantly confronting Shen Mo.

The first is the newspaper "Scholars", which was founded by the civil servant group and the Confucian scholars.

After Shen Mo submitted a memorial to innovate the tax system, they refuted and slandered Shen Mo's articles the next day and published them in the newspaper.

When the people of Lin'an received this "Scholars", what caught their eye was a series of bold words, the size of fists: "Replace the tax system and compete with the people for profit!"

The following content of the newspaper was full of stories. The Huaiyang Business Group, a lackey under Shen Mo, began to use their master's power to exploit the people! They tried to change the old system of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, intending to force all the families in the world to destroy their silkworms and silk-reeling families, and other rumors and slander.

During this period, it was full of perplexity and shameless slander, and it was really useless.

...But the great scholars of the Song Dynasty who founded the important news, as well as the ministers in the court who opposed Shen Mo, never expected it.

When Lin'an people saw what was said in this newspaper, their reaction was completely different from what they imagined! They were not filled with righteous indignation, nor did they accuse or condemn Shen Mo's actions.

Once these newspapers were released, the most obvious reaction was that almost no one bought all the silk in Lin'an City!... The reason for this ridiculous result was that when all the people saw the newspaper, they knew that Shen Lang in Tongzhou had started to take action against the silk industry again.

So the first thing that reflected in their minds was that this incident was almost exactly the same as when the tea industry trend appeared.

In other words... the price of silk is about to drop! The price of tea in Lin'an is 170 to 80 cents lower than last year! The people in Lin'an immediately realized that as long as they hold back and don't buy silk for the past few days, the price of silk may not be long before long, and the original price of silk will drop to 50 to 60%! As for the people who are angry or misunderstood Shen Mo's actions, there are really not many such people.

...At noon after that, Lin'an Daily immediately issued an additional number.

This time, Zhang Tianru, editor-in-chief of Lin'an Daily, acted extremely quickly and completed the finalization and printing within a few hours.

After that, when the Lin'an Daily's account was overwhelmingly sold on the streets and alleys.

As soon as the people got the newspaper, they immediately saw the big-word title on it: "Strike profits with the people, or seize profits for the people?"

"Investigation on the current status of the people in the mulberry and silkworm industry in the Song Dynasty - I can't bear to see it!"
