Chang Feng on the side couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard this, it was the first time he saw his master being deflated when he grew so big, and it was a little doll who pissed him off.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, okay?"

After they bickered for a few words, they pricked up their ears to listen to the various arguments of the students below.

After all, those who support the increase of merchant tax still account for the majority.

The scholar in Tsing Yi said: "Even if you are right, what you said does exist, so what? There are so many merchants in this world, there are always more rich than poor, and the profiteers are always more benevolent than others." Shang is more common, don’t you think?”

As soon as he said this, there were very few people who supported him.

Because this is really a bit of nonsense.

Just like the capital city, everyone knows that there are a few well-known wealthy businessmen, but the streets are full of small traders who have to get up early and work late in order to make a living. Could it be that there are really more rich people than ordinary people?

This is simply making trouble for no reason.

Besides, who dares to say that profiteers are more common than benevolent businessmen?
How many merchants have you seen to dare to say such a thing?
Don't forget that when Emperor Shengzu founded the country, it was thanks to the help of several benevolent merchants. Could it be that you are questioning Emperor Shengzu's vision?

Seeing that no one echoed his words, the scholar in Tsing Yi was a little anxious in his heart, and even more embarrassed on his face.

Xie Lin said again: "Brother Zicheng, in your opinion, how can we not only let big merchants pay heavy taxes, but also avoid the responsibility of some small merchants being affected?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled and said, "It's not difficult at all. Court officials have their grades as evidence, and students and scholars have various exams to testify their strengths. Since merchants are in business, the only thing that can prove their strength is money."

Xie Lin's eyes lit up, and Mao Sai suddenly realized.

"Brother Zicheng, you can distinguish them according to the value of their goods?"

Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Of course! For example, for goods worth a thousand dollars, the merchant pays [-] yuan and the merchant pays [-] yuan. What about the goods worth ten thousand yuan? If the merchant pays [-] yuan and the merchant pays [-] yuan, isn't it okay? Skipping some small traders? Of course, it’s just for the next moment, as an example, how to operate it depends on the opinions of the adults in the court, and more importantly, it must obey the will of the Holy One.”

The middle-aged man nodded frequently, with a constant smile on his face: "Wonderful! Wonderful! This spring, the Holy Majesty will definitely win another virtuous minister!"

The boy on the opposite side was also smiling at this time. This subject had troubled him for a long time before. Even his father had taken the school exam once, but it was a pity that the answer he gave did not satisfy his father.

Now, he has heard a statement that is more suitable for the common people.

Zhao Yue was also quite shocked. He thought that Xie Xiuwen was just from a humble background, and he had traveled to study and saw more people's sufferings. He never expected that he had also meditated on countermeasures.

Only such scholars can become the pillars of the dynasty.

He will not knock down a large group of people because of his own selfishness, this person can be a good minister!

Xie Xiuwen didn't know that his remarks had already been targeted by many people.

Those who came to this essay meeting today were either Juren from various prefectures, or supervisors from the capital, or high-ranking young masters. Now that they heard what he said, they naturally looked at him differently.

When they learned that he was actually the Jie Yuan of a family, they all had a sense of enlightenment.

No wonder people can become Xie Yuan!
Not only do you read well, but you also have richer knowledge in all aspects.

The middle-aged man said again: "In the spring of the coming year, this son must be in high school, and he is indeed a talent!"

The boy didn't understand and asked with his eyes.

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Young Master, I don't know. To be an official in Chunwei is naturally based on talents and talents. To govern people in the first list is to govern the country. To govern affairs in the second list is to govern affairs."

He stopped talking, leaving the young man alone to think hard.

What they didn't know was that these remarks had already been delivered to the palace before the Wenhui was over.

Xie Lin was rarely famous for his talent. Although he was the son of Xie's family in the outer city, he was able to pass the provincial examination and be promoted to Xie Yuanlang in the capital at a young age, which shows that he is full of talent and learning.

Naturally, people from various forces will send people to keep an eye on the literary conference he organizes.

When Emperor Jingwen saw what was written on it, he immediately became interested.

The manager is a man of vision, so seeing his master happy, he naturally wanted to say a few more words.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a break? You have been approving papers for nearly two hours in a row. The empress empress sent someone to ask about it before."

"Ah."

Emperor Jingwen replied casually, then got up and walked a few steps in the hall.

"Call someone over, I want to ask carefully."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The manager naturally knew that the emperor wanted to meet someone who had returned from the literary conference, and also understood that this Xie Juren might have caught the emperor's eyes.

After the meeting was over, Xie Lin held Xie Xiuwen and talked together for another quarter of an hour. Xie Chen and a few other friends were sitting not far away, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Xie Xiuwen bowed his hands and said goodbye: "Thank you for telling me, brother Yu, I will definitely read the masterpieces of several gentlemen in the future."

"Brother Zicheng, don't blame me for being troubled."

The two of them talked very happily, after Xie Xiuwen left, Xie Lin was still reluctant to turn around.

Unexpectedly, a literary meeting made him discover Xie Zicheng who has an amazing talent!

As the so-called sympathy for each other, that's about it.

Xie Chen came over with some taste: "Third brother, everyone is gone, what else is there to see?"

Xie Lin turned back and smiled at him: "You're right, let's go. Let's go back too. Brother, I learned a lot today, so I must make a good record when I go back. I believe the fourth brother is the same, so we don't want to waste any more time." gone."

After the words fell, Xie Lin shook his head and laughed: "I'm really afraid that I wrote it late, and I won't be able to remember those feelings in more detail."

Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Xie Chen was rather annoyed.

Who is the one calling him third brother?
It's just a mere Xie Xiuwen who dares to try to compete for the title of talented scholar at the feet of the emperor. Could it be that his life is too long!
When Xie Lin returned home, he went straight into the study.

The boy came several times to persuade him to eat, but he kicked him out.

He didn't realize how long he hadn't moved until it was dark and six or seven oil lamps were already burning in the house.

"I'm really tired."

Xie Lin stood up and moved around, and the servant came in again, this time with an extra tray in his hand, which was full of meals.

"Young master, can I eat this time?"

"Well, let's put it outside."

"My lord, at today's Wenhui, you had a very happy conversation with Xie Xieyuan, and that Xie Xieyuan really has real talent and learning. However, I heard that he has a lot of connections with our Xie family. The master's house is completely broken, and it is already a separate stove. Now that you are getting closer to him, I don't know if it will make the master's house unhappy."
