Chapter 177 The Way of Merchant (1)

The memorandum was sent back and handed over to the Military Affairs Office to discuss. Yi was busy with the matters on the General Administration's yamen. He was not a talented person for this kind of economic method, so he followed the memorandum and handed it over to Yan Jingming, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "Danchu, this matter must be your great talent. If you can do it, you should work harder."

Yan Jingming was looking down at the emperor's Zhu Ji, looking in his eyes, thinking in his heart, he paused for a moment when he heard this, raised his head and smiled at Yi with an ugly face, lowered his head, and looked at him. "Danchu, how do you see?" Su Shun asked.

"The emperor's clarity on thousands of miles has made us shameless as ministers!" This is not a pretentious saying by Yan Jingming. Su Shun submitted a memorial to the court to open a business class to increase the national class. It quotes the classics and lists the grand views, but it only puts forward a general idea. In terms of specific operations, there are still too many difficult things to be gradually implemented.

After circulating the eight constitutions of the Ministry of Revenue and the Military Affairs Office this time, they all thought that they were very knowledgeable and had no more words to add to the notes. Fang Shiqiu reported the memorial, but he didn't expect that in just one day, the emperor picked out so many loopholes from it? Looking at the words of the Zhuzi, it seemed that it was longer and even longer than the original memorial! It was really hard for this master, who was in the ninth level, how did he think of it?

Su Shun had just read the words of the imperial criticism. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since the emperor pointed out that there are many omissions, I might as well follow the map and send someone down to take a look first, and then talk about it after a visit?"

Wen Qing shook his head, and the braid behind his head swayed back and forth, "It's not easy to be anxious." He said, "Yu Ting, think about it, if people from the ministry sent down, they would spend time together, and the people who went down would always have to entertain them in the local area, right? Now all provinces are crying with the court and are poor. If you come here again, will it give them a more justification?"

"What do you think Xiu Gong?"

"It would be better to discuss this matter with the governors and governors of each province to come up with a charter that can be implemented in various provinces without causing a rebound. At that time, you will be able to complete everything."

Yan Jingming smiled disapprovingly, "Mr. Xiu's subordinates do not agree with this."

His words naturally attracted attention from everyone, "What are the opinions of Brother Danchu? I listen carefully."

"I dare not take it anymore." Yan Jingming closed the book and opened it again. "I heard what you said, and it is bound to be limited to one city and one place. Look here," he pointed at the words on the Zhuzi with his hand and repeated a few sentences: "'... Business textbooks are a good law. When the provinces implement them, we should truly understand my heart. We must not be careless and allow local committee members to engage in illicit fraud and make any invasion from it."

He raised his head, looked around, and said, "The last time the Emperor personally visited the Military Affairs Office's office, there were many hadiths: it was like the opportunity of commercial courses, and the merchants who collected could supervise the power. It was a great law that could eliminate fraud between commercial tax collection, tax collectors and committee members."

"Hey! Old Yan!" Wen Qing shouted loudly, "Your words are too far from the topic. When I was just now, the emperor made it clear and clearly. As we carefully discuss, we will re-engage in the implementation of commercial courses in various provinces. Why did you mention the matter of sending merchants to the toilet and exercising the power of supervision?"

Yan Jingming nodded calmly, "What Xiu Gong said is very true. I am about to say this..."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone looked at each other and seemed to be laughing at it. Wen Qing was too abrupt. Before anyone could finish his words, he accused him. However, Yan Jingming did not laugh. He continued, "Let's talk about the amount of money collected in each province. Whether it is Beijing or the province's dispatch, they are all scholars. When it comes to merchants' daily, monthly income, expenditure, and surplus, they are afraid that they can only be dumbfounded."

"Why did Yi Dan first see you?"

"I think it's better to select officials from the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing first and go down and investigate carefully. When those merchants know that the court attaches importance to it and the emperor loves it, they should actively offer suggestions and make plans. In less than long, all walks of life in the capital will be able to understand the harvest in a year. At that time, the court will be able to promote the whole country with this... "

When Sushun heard this, he reached out and stopped him, "Danchu, I want to ask, is there a law that may be accepted in Beijing and various provinces? If not, what should I do?"

"It's okay." Yan Jingming was confident and turned around and said, "I think it's impossible to pass through one, and there are always references. If this can be done, coupled with the strength of the officials of various provinces, they will be strictly inspected, and the members and gentry can be clean and dedicated to the public. For the business people, there will be no worries about the trouble."

After he said something, the room was quiet for a moment. Yi slapped his legs and stood up. "What Master Yan said is very true. Let's write this and put it on the paper."

The emperor had read the memorial and called the Military Affairs Office and the two officials of the Ministry of Revenue to Zhanfu Hall, "I have read this memorial. Yan Jingming, this must be your opinion, right?"

"I dare not. This is a study together with my colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue and several adults from the Ministry of Revenue Department. The shallow views are not worth laughing at. More of them are..."

The emperor stopped his words, "It's good. It's bad. It's bad! I can see it very clearly. This time, the Ministry of Revenue and the Military Affairs Office can come up with a briefing so quickly. In the future, the court will make sufficient use of the country. You should list the first great merit as your advice today!"

"I dare not wait," Su Shun replied first, "This is all the strategies that the emperor teaches, and he also explains the mistakes in it. Only when I can get the merits of the skin. If I say that I have made merits, the emperor is the most important meritorious person!"

This time, the emperor did not say that he could not be given the best of his contributions, but instead talked about other things, "Well, what Yan Jingming said, I chose the Baiye in Beijing to visit and patrol. Which industry do you want to start?"

"I think that food is the most important thing for the people, so it is better to start with the grain merchant."

The emperor's heart moved and asked, "I heard yesterday that Youjia's parents came to Beijing? Who knows if it's true?"

Su Shun immediately met, "Yes, I know. You Shan and his wife were worried about the heroine and the two young masters. They went from Rehe to Beijing, and now they live in the Imperial House of the Imperial House."

The emperor gave Sushun a big look, as if he didn't think he was so flattered. However, the atmosphere was good at the time of political discussion today, and he didn't want to scold any minor details. "It's okay to use grain merchants, rice merchants, and salt merchants as the targets of visiting. These people have a strong business and have a footprint across the country. If they can really tell each other honestly, even if they can't get a slight slight slight, there will always be a reference in the future." He said, "Just do it like this!"

"Yes. After I wait, I will work with the officers of various departments to conduct serious investigations to seek early results."

"With the result, come and report at any time. Sushun, stay, I have something to say to you, everyone else will be relieved."

Everyone met and saluted. In Chen Fu Hall, the emperor stood up from the imperial case, "Did You Shan and Mrs. You come to the capital to visit their daughter?"

Sushun thought that the emperor kept him and wanted to make friends with him. There was a big reprimand in the imperial concubine's mansion. Who knew that it was not? He touched his head and replied, "Yes. The slave had a quiet night chat with You Shan in the mansion yesterday. He just said that the mother of the master was really worried about the child in his heart, so he came to Beijing without any risk." He paused, looked up at the emperor's face, and then said, "If the master is not happy, the slave will go back to the mansion and send them back immediately?"

"Forget it. The couple are not an official. Even if they are separated from the territory, it is also due to the principles of heaven and human nature. Since they are here, let them live in the capital for a few days. As for the Youjia clan, let's talk about it later."

"I think the emperor's holy heart of governing the world with kindness and filial piety, I think the You and his wife must be grateful for it." Sushun said, "Your Majesty, I think You Shan is coming at the right time."

"Um?"

"The slave always thinks that no matter rice merchants, grain merchants or salt merchants, if they are in the industry, they can probably tell everything about the imperial court's inquiry. They can only be afraid that they will find it difficult to report truthfully for their own business to be greedy for profit. If that is the case, each household will not be visible. There are many grain merchants like me like the Qing Dynasty, and they gather their arms and make a fur. The difference between them will be huge!"

"You can't say that this is a concern for your cheeks. If the court wants to ask these people, it cannot help but believe them. However, if these people have such an idea, it will be really embarrassing!"

Sushun heard the emperor's implication and understood it and touched his head, "Please rest assured, I know how to do it."

The emperor did not speak and snorted in his nose: "Master, I want to ask my master for advice."

"What?"

"If You Shan and his wife want to..."

Of course, the emperor knew what Sushun wanted to say, but it was nothing more than You Shan and his wife who wanted to see their daughter again and wanted to ask for an order in advance. When he talked to them, he dared to reveal a sentence. However, Beijing is not as good as Rehe, and the travel of the concubines has a great impact. If there is no very legitimate reason, even if there is an excuse for "filial piety", it will be difficult to stop those Qingliu from writing a memorial and saying that "When the country is in trouble, the concubines surrender to their relatives is not suitable for the time and place." There is also a very important thing that is that the You family is from Rehe and there is no place to live in the capital. The couple still live in Sushun's mansion. It is easier to attract people's discussion. Therefore, he just pondered and didn't speak.

"Master, why not go down first, talk about You Shan's tone before going back and forth to the master?"

"Okay. You go down first. Let me think about this matter again."

***************

When Sushun returned to his house, Long Rulin and Huang Xi were talking with You Shan. You Shan was a merchant and never liked by scholars, let alone Long Rulin and Huang Xi both regarded themselves as famous scholars and were really unwilling to interact with him. However, due to Judeng's face and You Shan's identity, he had to flatter him for a few words. After talking, he realized that You Shan was not covered in a bad state and had some ink in his belly.

It turned out that after You Shan sent his daughter to the palace, she transformed herself into a royal relative. Her identity changed, and her friends were very different. He knew that he had not read many books, and for fear that he would make people laugh at her words, he started to give a paragraph and asked his son for advice first. When he was old, he naturally had a good understanding and a bad memory. Young Master You was newly married soon, and the young couple was tired of being together all day long. His father gave him such an errand for no reason, and he was inevitably unhappy. In addition, his father often taught him yesterday, but he couldn't remember today. He was a "teacher", but he could not beat or say anything. He could only be patient and start over again. After a long time, he felt a headache.

You Shan knows his own affairs, but he can calm down and study. Especially when he set out to Beijing this time, his son made up for it hard in Rehe Mansion. He asked his son to write down what he should remember with a pen, and to study and recite silently on the way, so that he can be considered as a scene.

It was already August, and it was when the osmanthus was steaming. Several people set up tables in the garden of Su Mansion and sat around and chatted. You Shan coughed dryly and said, "Mr. Lu Chen, Mr. Hanxian, and both of them are all professionals. Before coming to Beijing this time, I was studying in the mansion and heard a sentence: 'You must remember the good scenery of the year, and it is the most orange, yellow, and green.' But I don't know who it was?"

He raised the topic so bluntly and artificially, which made Long Rulin and Huang Xi laughed in his heart, "This is two sentences from the poem that Su Dongpo did, and given to Liu Jingwen." Huang Xi answered a few words, "The whole poem is like this: the lotus is gone without the rain cover, and the chrysanthemums still have branches of frost. You must remember the beautiful scenery of the year, which is the most orange, yellow, orange and green."

"I heard that Dongpo Huanzhe had never been to Yandu. These two lines of poetry really tell the weather in Beijing!"

This sentence made the two of them look at him with admiration: "Authentic! Mr. You said very well."

"I have heard that Lao Du will never leave a poem about begonia in his life, but is it true?"

Huang Long and the others were stunned for a moment, but they were all stubborn people, so how could they stump You Shan’s words? "So Dongpo lived in Huangzhou for seven years, why didn’t hesitate to Li Qi? Just like Du Gongmen of Xichuan, Haitang doesn’t leave any poems. Mr. You probably refers to this poem? This is a matter of the history of the history, but it’s just following the crowd."

Huang Xi continued his words, "I think that life experiences, luck and misfortune, aren't the same in plants? Haitang failed to get the title of Lao Du, because it was Haitang's fault. If Haitang could speak, when Lao Du was in Shu, he would definitely leave something like Li Qi begging for Su Dongpo's poem."

"If that's the case, the crabapple will be vulgar." You Shanlangran chanted, "The flowers are like explanations and there are many things to do, and the stone cannot speak the most charming."

As You Shan mentioned, the topic turned into poetry and prose. Huang Xi and Long Rulin made great progress in the theory, and from Li Du to Yishan, Fang Weng talked endlessly. You Shan was just stammering with the little literary talent he had collected from his son, and could not speak at all. He could only listen to the two of them, and he was polite. For a moment, he felt a little regretful: he should let his son come with him.

At this time, Sushun returned home.
