Only by focusing on agriculture, serving as flesh and blood, supplemented by commerce, turning into muscles, skin, and hair, can the giant of the Central Plains become stronger and stronger.

It appears that certain restrictions need to be imposed on commerce.

Hu Tan quietly removed the book covering his cheeks, and looked at Bai Su's handsome cheeks, which looked serious thinking.

Her strange-colored eyes couldn't help flickering, and she was lost in thought for a long time.

Bai Su worked so hard to help her win over her sister Fusu, which made her feel sweet.

After I don't know how long.

"Master, you have been busy for a long time, drink some lotus seed soup and take a rest."

At this time, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao came in from outside the door, each carrying a bowl of boiled lotus seed soup.

Bai Su raised his head and looked out the window, the sky was approaching dusk: "Is it so late already, Your Highness, let's have a drink..."

He lowered his head to look at Hu Yan beside him, and wanted to ask her to drink some porridge, but saw her eyes closed slightly, lying on his lap, fell asleep at some point, and threw the green snake in her hand aside,

He poked Hu Yan's soft cheek, and said with some amusement: "That's all, work with me."

Da Qiao pursed her lips and smiled: "His Royal Highness Hu Yan, as the current imperial daughter, it is not easy to be able to accompany the master with a body of a thousand gold."

Bai Su shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, Da Qiao, go get her a blanket to cover her, the weather is getting cold."

"Oh."

Da Qiao obediently took a blanket, and the wide blanket covered Hu Fan's body.

"Master, master, can you tell me a story, I haven't heard the master tell a story for a long time."

Xiao Qiao rested her chin on her hands, and sat lively at the table, looking straight at Bai Su with her eyes.

Elder sister Da Qiao reprimanded: "Little Qiao, don't be rude to the master."

With the lotus seed soup in Bai Su's mouth, he said with a smile: "It's okay, I just finished my work and I have nothing to do, so I'll tell you a story about a person who loves ghosts."

"Ghost?"

Hearing Bai Su's words, the two little maids suddenly showed fear on their faces, and grabbed each other's little hands nervously, but their eyes were full of anticipation, obviously they were afraid and wanted to hear.

Bai Su smiled: "By the way, the world is in chaos. In a place called Guobei County, there is a desolate and abandoned ancient temple called Lanruo Temple..."

I don't know how long I talked for a while.

From time to time, the two little maids heard a startled sound.

Hu Yan's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she gently opened her eyes. She first glanced blankly at Bai Su's cheek, and saw that Bai Su was telling a story with two little maidservants seriously.

A trace of dissatisfaction suddenly appeared on her fair and pretty face, she pulled the blanket on her body, smelling the masculine aura exuding from Bai Su's body, she couldn't help biting her lips lightly, her expression became a little strange.

Bai Su concentrated on telling the story to the two little maids. After talking for a long time, his throat felt a little dry.

When he picked up the wine cup and took a sip, his posture froze, and he couldn't help being alert. He found a small hand suddenly appeared on his stomach, it was Hu Bin's small hand.

These two little maids are right in front of her. She must be too courageous. Once she is discovered, what should she do?

Bai Su quickly stopped her with his eyes, but Hu Tan didn't look at Bai Su at all. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but she seemed to feel Bai Su's embarrassment, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

Her nephrite-like little hands stretched in from under Bai Su's clothes, and gently drew circles on his stomach.

Seeing Bai Su stop suddenly, Xiao Qiao couldn't help being stunned: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"No...it's nothing, I just feel that the drink is a little cold."

Bai Su smiled on his face, as if nothing happened, but his right hand reached into the blanket, grabbed her little hand, and told her not to mess around.

Seeing Bai Su's tense expression, Hu Tan felt a little proud in his heart.

Especially after seeing the two servant girls, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who didn't notice her actions at all.

She suddenly became more courageous, she directly pulled the blanket to cover her head and Bai Su's legs, and then moved her body.

"hiss……"

Bai Su suddenly took a deep breath.

Looking at Bai Su, Da Qiao seemed to have noticed something strange, and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you, why do you feel that you look a little abnormal?"

Bai Su's face froze, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Maybe I drank a little too much just now, and my stomach feels a bit...uncomfortable."

Xiao Qiao pushed the lotus seed soup from the side over: "Then master, drink this bowl of lotus seed soup, it should make your stomach feel better."

Da Qiao's slender black eyebrows raised: "This is prepared for His Royal Highness Hu Yan. The master has drunk it. What is your Highness drinking?"

Xiao Qiao muttered: "Later, I'll go and cook some for His Royal Highness Hu Yan. Master, I still want to hear from you, so what happened to Nie Xiaoqian in the end?"

"This Nie Xiaoqian was betrothed to the Black Mountain old demon..."

Seeing that the two of them didn't notice anything unusual, Bai Su's tense nerves finally eased a lot. He pretended to be calm and told the story, as if nothing had happened.

The two girls also lay down on the table with serious faces, listening to Bai Su's narration.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't come over. If they pulled the blanket away and looked down, wouldn't his wisdom in his life be ruined, and he would have no face to face others in the future.

This is really a double torture to the body and mind.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After about half an hour.

The two servant girls, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, had already left, and went to prepare dinner obediently.

Hu Tan was holding a homemade toothbrush, and while brushing her teeth, she glared fiercely at Bai Su with her strange amber-like eyes.

Bai Su scratched his hair, facing Hu Yun's harmless eyes, he didn't care at all.

He stroked Hu Tan's black hair, and said, "Why, are you angry?"

Hu Yan snorted lightly: "Hmph, you're just a bad guy."

Bai Su smiled: "If you hadn't provoked me one after another, how could I be like this."

Hearing this, Hu Yun seemed to have thought of something, and his face blushed suddenly: "Don't say it, you...you must help me defeat Fusu, otherwise I will..."

She gave Bai Su a hard look, those small canine teeth looked cute and fierce.

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Bai Su's forehead: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to win against the group of Confucian celebrities under Fu Su's command, and help you establish your reputation in the court."

Hearing this, Hu Yan nodded in satisfaction: "It's not too bad."

........

........

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Civil and military officials lined up neatly, and Fu Su and Hu Yan also stood in front of the team.

Under the envoy's singing, Sister Zheng came slowly.

She was dressed in a black dragon robe with golden patterns, a jade crown on her head, and nine bead curtains hanging down to cover her graceful and luxurious face, showing a sense of nobility and inviolability.

Sister Zheng opened her arms, her wide sleeves brought a gust of wind, and immediately sat on the dragon chair.

Her phoenix eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and asked coldly: "My dear friends, do you have something to announce today?"

Generally speaking, court meetings are just going through the motions.

Ordinary minor matters can be dealt with directly by Shang Shuling, and those that can be played in the court are all major matters that need to be decided by the political sister in person.

After all, what an emperor needs to manage is the whole world, not a township, and all kinds of trivial things happen in a county.

And since the Huns in the north were pacified, the imperial court has not had any major issues to deal with recently.

Facing Sister Zheng's inquiry, there was a moment of silence below.

Just when she was about to adjourn the meeting, she saw a person walking out from the team, and everyone was taken aback when they saw that person.

That eye-catching white robe, whoever it is, is not Bai Su.

Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of everyone. You must know that Bai Su is famous for fishing at work on weekdays. He usually clocks in and leaves work. It is rare to see him take the initiative to stand up.

Even Sister Zheng was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Bai Su, a salty fish, to come out on her own initiative.

After pondering for a while, she asked, "Bai Su, what do you have to say?"

Bai Su cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I propose to make trade a national policy."

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped in unison, no longer knowing how much they had contributed to global warming.

Although the moment Bai Su walked out, they had a premonition that Bai Su might have something important to say.

But they never expected that this melon was so big.

From this point of view, it is necessary to attack the country of Daxia. It must be known that Daxia has implemented this system for hundreds of years since the Shang army formulated the law of farming and warfare, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.

No one has ever dared to question it, but Bai Su wants to reform the national policy of the court.

This... this appetite is simply jaw-dropping.

For a moment, the eyes of all the people in the court focused on Bai Su, some praised him, thinking that he was courageous, while others frowned slightly, thinking that he was too arrogant.

Sister Zheng raised her slender eyebrows, neither angry nor surprised.

She just looked straight at Bai Su with her phoenix eyes, and asked, "Why?"

Bai Su clasped his hands and said, "Now the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun fled to the land of Mobei, Monan established the Beiting Duhufu to surrender to the Central Plains, and the Yuezhi Kingdom also began to build trade routes to connect with the Central Plains."

"Only by starting full-scale trade can we establish control over the Great Wall and increase influence. While expanding the territory and strengthening the country, we can also increase taxes for the court and fill the treasury. This is the way to enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Hu Yan stood up immediately, and said in a consistent way: "My lord, the income from this business is extremely rich. Just the paper of Longmen Publishing House, just in the Guanzhong area, earned hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. tax."

"If it is released, the private merchants will also conduct full-scale trade with the Yuezhi Kingdom and the Monan Grassland. The taxes they will receive from trade in cloth, salt, silk, paper, wine, etc. will be unimaginable..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly interrupted by a cold voice: "Master, you must not listen to Hu Yan's superficial opinion."

I saw a girl in a white skirt coming out from the crowd. Her jet-black hair was pulled up to a high sideburn, and she wore a golden bow. There is an air of dignity.

It is Her Royal Highness, Fu Su.

She hastily cupped her hands and said: "This businessman can't produce. If there is full-scale commerce, it will only shake the foundation of our country, and it will do all harm to the imperial court."

Hu Yan suddenly dissatisfied: "Who said that this trade can provide tax revenue, which is obviously beneficial to the court."

Fu Su raised her head slowly, and stared straight at her with a pair of apricot eyes: "You are just short-sighted. If everyone goes into business and no one goes to farm, there will be a lack of food in the future, and the world will be in chaos. What's the use?"

"Yes, His Highness Fu Su is right."

"I think so too."

"..."

Hu Yan opened her mouth wide in a daze, wanting to refute, but couldn't think of a reason, she immediately turned her head to look at Bai Su.

She had an aggrieved expression on her face, as if to say that I was bullied.

Bai Su rubbed his nose helplessly, so he had no choice but to help her out: "Your Highness's words are wrong. Although the business does not grow food, it is not impossible to produce."

"It's like the silk worn by His Highness, many of which come from the land of Bashu. Merchants sell silk, thus increasing the world's demand for silk from the land of Bashu."

"The local people don't farm the land, but relying on the silkworm weaving and silk business, they have fed hundreds of thousands of silkworm farmers and weavers in Bashu, thus indirectly improving the local economy."

"It provided tax revenue for the imperial court, improved the lives of the local people, and added a bit of stability to the world. How can there be all kinds of harm but no benefit?"

"If you simply rely on farming for a living, how can the local people live in those places that are located between mountains and have insufficient arable land except for the Chengdu Plain?"

"So comprehensive trade is not a bad thing. Only by opening up a bigger market can we sell more silk and cloth, and the local people will have more opportunities."

"In this way, the court can earn more taxes and use it to govern the world."

Following his remarks, many people in the court nodded silently.

Although it is said that the land of Bashu is the land of abundance.

But in fact, the area with fertile land is only a small piece of the Chengdu Plain, and such a small area provides nearly [-]% of the food for the entire Bashu area.

In most other mountainous areas, the grain output is quite low.

If there were no businesses such as silk, cinnabar, and wine, there would be many counties and counties in the Bashu area, and I am afraid that they would be so poor that they would not be able to solve the problem.

Wang Jian, Meng Tian and the others all looked at Bai Su in surprise, they didn't expect him to turn the originally one-sided situation around in an instant.

There's a good show here.
