Royal Gold Magistrate

Morning the next day.

Fang Zhengyi's eyes drifted to Xu Wenshu who was in front of him from time to time.

Although he was cheated and coerced yesterday, but to be honest, he didn't know what to do.

Whether you can speak for yourself depends on today.

Halfway through the court meeting, Xu Wenshu, who had not made a formal speech, suddenly moved.

Fang Zhengyi's heart rose to his throat...

Xu Wenshu slowly took out a memorial from his sleeve, and the cover of the memorial was the one that Fang Zhengyi left behind!

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

"speak."

"I ordered people to reorganize the account books of the Ministry of Accounts this month. Although the revenue of the treasury has increased year after year in the past two years, some problems have been discovered."

"The lack of food in the past has been greatly alleviated by the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Presumably, in a few years, the people of the world will no longer have to worry about famine."

"As a result, commercial taxes have also increased considerably, but the difficulty of material circulation has always existed. If this difficulty is not solved, when the national treasury waits for the grain production to peak, tax revenue may not be able to make further progress."

"Policies need to change from time to time, so I wrote ten policies for lenient business overnight. I think this matter is of great importance. Please read it."

Xu Wenshu turned his head and glanced at Fangzheng, seeing him beaming at him.

He couldn't help but took a deep breath, turned his head to suppress the nausea in his heart.

Ten strategies for lenient business..?

Emperor Jing was in a daze for a moment, why did he feel like he had heard it somewhere?

When the memorial was handed to him, Emperor Jing took a look and looked at Fang Zhengyi with a strange expression.

Didn't Fang Zhengyi write this thing not long ago?But the wording has changed a lot.

Fang Zhengyi also smiled foolishly at Emperor Jing, his eyes were extremely clear.

Emperor Jing understood it in an instant, his face returned to normal, and said: "Guo Banban, read it."

Guo Tianyang picked up the memorial and began to read it.

Guo Tianyang's voice echoed in the hall, but Fangzheng's expression gradually became strange when he heard it.

What he wrote...was changed by Xu Wenshu!

Compared with the version he wrote, the revised wording and terms are much easier to accept.

But the key point is that he originally advised to open a mansion as a pilot, but it was changed to a county under the jurisdiction of Hengjiang Mansion.

But the matter has come to this point, Fang Zhengyi can only listen patiently.

Since it was limited to one county, many people did not show strong opposition.

After all, there is only one county, so even if there is a falling out, what effect will it have?

After Guo Tianyang finished speaking, Emperor Jing swept his eyes across the ministers and said, "Xu Qing, please tell me first."

Xu Wenshu bowed and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the reason why I strongly advise Kuan Shang is based on evidence."

"The circulation of goods in the market is nothing more than four steps. Production, distribution, circulation, and sales. There is no problem with the first and last two steps, but the distribution and circulation in the middle have a lot to do with it."

"Food harvests have been abundant year after year. In the past, when there were no high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, people could barely support their families with their labor at home, and there was no surplus. Now not only can they feed the whole family, but they can even produce a lot of more food."

"And these grains are being purchased by merchants and then sold in the market. The people have money after selling the grains, so they go to buy new clothes and other households, thus promoting production."

"As far as I know, there are no less than [-] handicraft workshops built in the capital this year employing more than [-] people. This is a scene that has never been seen before. It can be seen that the demand for goods among the common people has soared."

"In this way, lenient business is imperative! If nothing else, we must also consider the idlers who are produced by the high grain production. The people must not be lazy at home and have nothing to do."

"However, widening business can't be done overnight, it needs to be done step by step, so I went through all the accounts reported by Gyeonggi over the years, and singled out Pingwan County in Hengjiang Prefecture. This county is located in the important area of ​​Hengjiang Prefecture and connects the four directions. It is a place with a lot of contacts. It is very suitable to use this as a pilot for lenient business, and I hope your Majesty will learn from it."

Emperor Jing nodded his head lightly, beating the imperial case with one hand.

The ministers were thoughtful, and what Xu Wenshu said just now had a sense of deja vu.

Isn't this what Banshan Daily has been publishing in recent days?Talk about production, distribution, sales and the like.

Didn't expect Xu Wenshu to have such a high evaluation of the content in the Banshan Daily?

There was silence in the hall for a long time before Emperor Jing said: "Ai Qing, do you have anything else to say?"

There was a murmured discussion below, and Fang Zhengyi's eyes continued to patrol the crowd.

This matter seems to be easy to handle today, but it's a pity that Xu Wenshu, an old man, has replaced a prefecture with a county.

He also understands that Pingwan County is indeed a good place. If it is well managed, its influence may not be bad.

Now that he has spoken, there is no possibility of changing it.

The key now is to see who is against it, and then rush forward to help.

Sure enough, there were those who opposed it in the end.

Hanlin Bachelor Yang Yingcai stood up silently: "I have..."

"I object!" Before he could finish speaking, Fang Zheng howled out loudly.

Yang Yingcai's face slowly elongated, and she retreated helplessly.

Xu Wenshu's mind buzzed, and he was completely lost...

Emperor Jing stared at Fang Zhengyi, his expression constantly changing.

Where is your kid on?You are the one who wants to be lenient, and you are the one who is going against it now?

Fangzheng turned his head and showed an extremely ugly smile at Yang Yingcai, with mockery in his eyes.

Turning around, he said loudly: "My minister opposes lenient businessmen! As the saying goes, a virtuous man who has a lot of money will harm his aspirations. A fool who has a lot of money will benefit his mistakes. Businessmen's pursuit of profit is even more conducive to this kind of trend. Resentment, the rise of merchants, arouses the envy of other people, and I am afraid it will cause turmoil. If people are impetuous, then it is not far from the collapse of rituals and music."

Xu Wenshu roared wildly in his heart, isn't that what the hell I said!You bitch!What exactly do you want?

"There are a lot of troubles for condoning merchants, and merchants are not engaged in production, but can only be used as intermediaries to win huge profits among the people. This is tantamount to competing with the people for profits. This is absolutely unfeasible."

As soon as Fangzheng finished speaking, he began to wink at Xu Wenshu.

"Master Xu, am I right?"

The corners of Xu Wenshu's eyes twitched a few times, and he swallowed and said, "I don't agree with that. If there were no intermediaries, the world would be in chaos. This businessman is like a gear in a waterwheel, connecting producers and buyers. Without him mediating resources, it would be extremely difficult for both buyers and sellers to be established, and profits are only what he deserves.”

"The more businesses the merchants facilitate, the more wealth in the world will increase. If the merchants seek profit and harm the interests of others, how can my prosperity be better every year, and the income of the treasury is higher every year... ..?"

Fangzheng praised in his heart, the old man Xu has a quick response and a good memory.
