Molested Zulong at the beginning

And Hu Yan looked at Fusu's surprised face, and suddenly couldn't help puffing out his young chest, feeling a burst of pride in his heart.

Letting you have countless Confucian celebrities, how can the court officials help you.

I alone can outnumber your thousands of troops!

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

Fu Su's slender black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she turned her head, looking at Bai Su with a calm expression in front of her, feeling a little surprised in her heart.

It seems that he did not expect that besides being good at ingenious tricks, Bai Su also has such outstanding eloquence. With just a few words, he reversed the situation that was about to end.

However, she is not like Hu Yan, who is usually a playful and lazy fledgling, and she cannot be defeated by this means alone.

After pondering for a while, she said: "There are some benefits to this trade, but for the imperial court, after all, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. Just imagine, if the common people see that trade makes money, then who would like to farm the land."

"If everyone went to business, wouldn't the world be in chaos, so emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is the foundation of the country, and the national policy cannot be violated."

Bai Su smiled slightly: "Your Highness is right. If you indulge businessmen too much, it will be detrimental to the country. However, if you formulate a suitable rule, you can let these businessmen use it for yourself."

"Not only will it not shake the foundation of the country, but it will become the nutrient for a rich country and a strong army, making Great Xia stronger."

Fusu's slender willow eyebrows frowned: "How can I use it for my own use?"

Bai Su said with a smile: "The solution is very simple, increase taxes."

As his voice fell, the entire hall fell into silence.

Everyone looked at Bai Su suspiciously, some couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

Seeing that he was playing tricks again, Sister Zheng couldn't help but said, "Bai Su, if you have a way, just say it."

"Since His Majesty has given the order, then the humble minister will just say..."

Bai Su bowed his hands to Sister Zheng, and stopped being tricky, and said, "To put it simply, it is to increase the tax on business. The more money a businessman earns, the higher the tax he collects. At the same time, the money earned from the businessman , and appropriately reduce the farmers' taxes to reduce the burden on the common people."

"Using business to support agriculture, in this way, will naturally not cause a large number of people to go to business one after another, and will not shake the country's foundation of the imperial court focusing on agriculture."

Hearing Bai Su's strange statement, everyone couldn't help being stunned.

Sister Zheng was stunned: "Using business to raise farmers, this...does this work?"

Bai Su nodded, and said: "Naturally it works. Originally on the grassland, due to the lack of supplies, a jar of salt can easily be exchanged for four or five cows. After the process, it gradually stabilized. Although the price will drop a lot, but It is conservatively estimated that it can also obtain seven or eight times the profit of the Central Plains."

"In addition to salt, the Central Plains also has silk, lacquerware, wine, paper, cloth and other commodities, which can completely double the current tax revenue of the imperial court."

"As the scale of trade continues to expand in the future, this number will only increase. Your Majesty can use these taxes received from merchants to subsidize Nongsang."

As he spoke, he took out a written report from his sleeve and handed it to the envoy beside him.

The messenger took it with respectful hands and presented it.

Sister Zheng couldn't wait to open the newspaper and read it, her phoenix eyes froze.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

The income from this trade is even more exaggerated than what she thought in her mind. The one-month trade volume of silk and paper alone is almost equivalent to the tax revenue of several counties and one year's farming and mulberry.

After all, Nong Sang was too slow to receive money, and he could only collect it a few times a year, which were all fixed, and he dared not charge more, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the people.

But businessmen are different, they can charge more times without worrying about civil uprisings, it is indeed a good way to benefit the country.

Sister Zheng's vermilion lips could not help but curl up, and handed the report to the envoy at the side, asking him to read it to everyone.

Hearing the envoy's narration, Fu Su glanced at Bai Su in surprise. He didn't expect this lazy-looking man to be so thoughtful.

Bai Su smiled and said: "What's the matter, Your Highness Fu Su, what are you doing looking at me like this, do you think my plan is not good?"

Fu Su bit her lower lip, and immediately said: "Your plan is good, but unfortunately it doesn't work, the more money you make, the higher the taxes you collect, and the businessman is not a fool, how could he still be willing to work hard?"

Bai Su smiled: "Your Highness misunderstood, if you earn [-] guan, you need to pay [-] guan in taxes, and you get [-] guan, but if you earn [-] guan, you need to pay [-] guan. More money, but also more money earned.”

"If you don't want to pay more money, then earn your [-] guan honestly. Don't envy those who earn [-] guan, buy houses everywhere, and wear gold and silver. If you envy people who want to make more money, then Just pay my taxes honestly."

"In this way, even if they know that they earn more and pay more, they can only grit their teeth and do it."

Fu Su frowned tightly, and asked, "This businessman is treacherous by nature, how could he pay taxes willingly?"

Bai Su looked at Zheng Jie: "If they don't want to pay taxes decently, I believe His Majesty has ways to make them decent."

Sister Zheng's red lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared in her phoenix eyes.

She is very good at this matter. In the past, she moved all the nobles and wealthy merchants to Xianyang, and then dealt with them in one pot. Isn't it easy to deal with merchants?

After all, in front of millions of cavalry, a group of businessmen with no power to restrain them can make any waves.

Bai Su smiled confidently, and said: "As the saying goes, raising tigers is a problem, raising pigs to eat meat, and when these businessmen grow fat and fat, the court can have more food when it is needed in the future."

Fusu's calm face in the past now showed a trace of panic: "But...but emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is the foundation of the country. Since the Shang Lord formulated it, it has continued for six generations of monarchs. How can the law of the ancestors be easily changed? .”

Bai Su's eyes became sharper, and he stared straight at her: "Then you only rely on Nong Sang, can you control the land of Monan?"

"This……"

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Fusu's fair forehead, and he was a little dumb for a while.

Bai Su stepped forward slowly and approached her. This condescending aura made her subconsciously take a step back.

"You...what are you going to do?"

Fu Su was a little nervous.

Bai Su smiled on his face: "It's nothing, I just have something to say to His Highness Fu Su."

Fu Su was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

"In the past, what the former king said..."

Bai Su took a deep breath, and said sternly in front of all civil and military officials: "Everyone, in a world of great contention, the strong will be strong, and the weak will perish. The survivors of the six kingdoms intend to overthrow the Great Xia. Although the Huns are defeated, the Northern The suffering has never completely disappeared, and one day it will come back."

"In the face of such a situation, if my Great Xia still keeps the old ground, abides by the old system, and lives in seclusion, it is no different from sitting and waiting to die. That is the real harm to Daxia."

"If the Xiongnu unifies the grasslands, annexes Liaodong, and penetrates the Western Regions in the future, it will be too late for us to regret..."

"The law of commerce I propose today is aimed at connecting goods to the Central Plains, benefiting Great Xia, and doing business with neighbors outside the pass. It is for the future governance of Kyushu, and preparations for Great Xia's future westward and northward expansion."

"In the past, Shang Jun went to Xia and brought the system of farming and warfare for the reform of Da Xia. Duke Xiao regarded it as a treasure and dared to risk the interests of the old gentry to implement this law."

"Facing Zhang Yi, who mainly focused on diplomatic relations and supplemented by fighting wars, King Zhuang Xiang dared to worship as the Prime Minister and personally asked for advice."

"Today, Bai Su has the courage to imitate the two sages and present a good strategy for Da Xia. I wonder if His Highness has the courage of the old kings?"

As his words fell, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Fu Su staggered back two steps, staring blankly at Bai Su, who was dressed in a white robe, speechless for a long time.

Seeing his unstoppable elder sister, Hu Yan was crushed in front of Bai Su and was speechless.

She immediately looked at Bai Su with admiration, her fair little face turned red with excitement.

Sure enough, as expected of his future husband, he did not disappoint him.

Even the political sister on the throne, with her graceful and luxurious face, couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.

Her phoenix eyes glanced at Bai Su and Fusu who was stupefied with interest, and she couldn't help thinking to herself: "It's really a unparalleled eloquence to be able to suppress Fusu, who I have cultivated so hard, into this form."

"It is rumored that although Guiguzi's strength is one person, he is stronger than a million teachers. When he is angry, the princes are afraid, but when he lives in peace, the world will rest. When I saw him today, this kid really has a bit of style."

"but……"

"It's not difficult to win the young Fusu, but it's not an easy task to win the forces behind her."

"Can you win by yourself, this entire Confucian school?"

Sister Zheng glanced at the officials below.

I saw a few celebrities who were born in Confucianism, frowning slightly, looking straight at Bai Su.

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

The officials in the hall talked a lot and looked at Bai Su in amazement. They didn't expect this seemingly young boy to be so thoughtful.

Not only did His Royal Highness Fusu refute it, but directly took it back head-on, he also took out a logical and well-planned report, and dealt His Royal Highness Fu Su a fatal blow.

Under the pressure of this series of offensives, Fusu, who was caught off guard, retreated one after another, completely falling into Baisu's rhythm. From the beginning of you coming and going, it gradually turned into a completely one-sided situation.

Seeing Fusu's pale face covered with fine sweat, many ministers couldn't help shaking their heads. It seems that Bai Su won this competition.

Bai Su looked at Fu Su in front of him with a smile: "I wonder if His Highness is convinced?"

"I……"

Fu Su's complexion was pale, and just when she was struggling to speak, a person stood up beside her: "Master Bai, I'm waiting for some dissatisfaction."

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a woman who looked 25 or [-] years old, with a thin complexion, suddenly stood out from the crowd.

She cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is Daxia's national policy. After hundreds of years, the considerations of the six generations of Daxia Mingjun are enough to show that this policy has stood the test of time and is indeed the foundation of the country." .”

"The commercial trade that Mr. Bai said has some benefits at present, but after all, it is just his family's opinion. No one knows whether the future will be good or bad."

"If he hastily positioned him as the national policy of Daxia just because of his words, it would be a bit of an overgeneralization."

"Since Mr. Bai compares himself to Mr. Shang, Zhang Yi and other virtuous talents, then I don't know if you can let me compete with Mr. Bai, so that we can learn how much Mr. Bai is really talented, so that I can lose I am convinced."

Sister Zheng's slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, she knew the person in front of her.

This person's name is Yan Lu, who came from a famous Confucian family, and is also one of the leading Confucian figures who defected to Daxia. She chose to stand up at this time, which is a bit troublesome.

This Yan Lu is not as easy to deal with as Fusu. It is said that she has a great literary talent since she was a child. She not only imitated Confucius in giving lectures, but also has thousands of disciples. She has a lot of influence among the people and has trained many low-level officials for Daxia.

Even if Sister Zheng doesn't like Confucianism, she can't deny her contribution to Great Xia.

If Bai Su was provoked by her and argued with her impulsively, it would probably not be easy.

Sister Zheng glanced at Bai Su worriedly, thinking of how to remind him.

Seeing Sister Zheng looking straight at him, Bai Su thought it was an encouragement to him.

With a confident smile on his face, he said directly: "Since your Excellency insists on asking for advice, how can I turn a blind eye to it? Although Bai was born in the market, but in terms of literary talent, it should still be possible to give you some advice."

This...is this Bai Su eating leeks? What a big tone.

As an official of a small workshop in the Shaofu, you even said that you want to give advice to famous Confucian scholars.

This is simply a heifer acting as a mistress for an elephant, it's so awesome! ! !

The officials in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.

Hu Tan clenched his small fists and shouted excitedly: "Bai Su, teach her a lesson."

Sister Zheng rubbed her slender jade fingers, her aching temple.

Although she was very happy to see these Confucian scholars look stricken, but Bai Su said so much when he came, if he loses later, it will not end well.

After all, Bai Su has made great achievements one after another, attracting countless people to please him first, and at the same time, many people are jealous of him, but there is no suitable excuse for the time being.

Once he loses, it is inevitable that he will be thrown into trouble.

Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su in the distance, her teeth itching in her heart for a moment, she wished she could grab his ears and see what was going on in his little head all day long.

After finally winning a game, just let it go, why accept her provocation and give the other party an excuse to refute.

But the words have already been said, and it is too late to regret it, so I can only bite the bullet and go on, I hope Bai Su will not lose too badly.

Sister Zheng glanced at Bai Su helplessly, waved her hand and said, "Then leave it to the two of you."

A look of surprise appeared on Yan Lu's face, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Bai Su asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know what you have to say?"

Yan Lu turned his head and looked at the young man in white in front of him.

The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said: "I can't talk about it, but I just feel that Mr. Bai's words are a bit inappropriate. As the saying goes, there is no rule, and there is no circle. This emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is the foundation of the country."

"It has been implemented for more than hundreds of years. It is precisely because of this national policy that Great Xia has grown stronger step by step and unified the six countries. This shows the stability of this policy."

"As for the business strategy that the young master advocates, at present, there are some advantages, but everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. Who knows what kind of hidden dangers will be hidden behind this superficial beauty."

"Don't you see that the Tian family usurped Qi in the past, and Lu Buwei monopolized the power and controlled the government."

"This businessman, after all, is treacherous by nature and is a disaster. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, we must not open this hole easily."

The officials in the court couldn't help but nodded after hearing her words.

Ever since the Tian family usurped Qi, all countries have been wary of merchants. If the suppression of these merchants is relaxed, there will be some hidden dangers.
