supreme heaven

() "Why?" Even if Qian Xunxue trusted Qin Guyue's ability and courage, she couldn't help asking now. .

"Because the southern capital city is under the control of the dynasty, I have always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and the taxes on merchants are very heavy." Qin Guyue said in one sentence: "It's just that everyone has been used to it for hundreds of years. Trade was carried out in Nanducheng, so merchants had to go to Nanducheng... Although Nanducheng has a canal, isn't the side of Luocheng also leaning on Luoshui?"

"Yes, but, will the merchants move to Luocheng?" Qian Xunxue asked a little worriedly, "Many habits are established by convention, and I am afraid it will be difficult to change? What's more, if the ship originally transported to Nandu City from If the canal turns into Luoshui, it may take at least one more day's journey!"

When Qin Guyue heard what Qian Xunxue said, she waved her hands again and said, "Xunxue, maybe you haven't dealt with businessmen much, in fact I don't have much communication with businessmen, but I have to say, I The bastard's big butler, he is an excellent businessman..."

"Oh? That's what you said, the one who arranged to give me a gift this time...Liu Wangcai?" Qian Xunxue and Liu Wangcai still had a relationship. The one who went deep into the tiger's den in Daxing City was covered with talismans. If the "martyrs" who died together, how could they not be connected with the word "bastard" Qin Guyue said!

"Where did you say that about your loyal servant?" Qian Xunxue said slightly displeased.

Liu Wangcai, who was hundreds of miles away, must have sneezed, looked around and said, "Who scolded me..."

But what Qin Guyue said seems to be a boast.

"At least I have seen a bit of the commonality of businessmen in him: 'no profit, no early' and 'heavy profit, despise parting'." Under Qian Xunxue's puzzled eyes, Qin Guyue picked up the bronze cup and drank it. He took a sip of wine and said: "If we can give up [-]% less tax than the imperial court, at least half of the merchants in the southeast will come to Luocheng to open a semicolon. If we can give up [-]%, businessmen from all over the country will come to Luocheng Open the semicolon, and even move the headquarters here... If we give up [-]%..." Qin Guyue smiled evilly and said: "Then the city guard of Nandu will definitely come to Luocheng to trouble us..."

"why?"

"Because all the merchants have run away!" Qin Gu Qin Guyue said with a smile: "Who wouldn't be happy if they could earn at least 100 taels of silver for a mere one-day water trip?"

"But..." Qian Xunxue saw that Qin Guyue was talking excitedly at this time, and she also entered the drama, and she had the appearance of a female lord, and said to Qin Guyue: "Merchants have been idle since ancient times Floating people, if there are more of these people, there will be fewer farmers and craftsmen, let me ask, without farmers who cultivate land and craftsmen who provide sun supplies, everyone wants to go into business to make money, so what should we do?"

Qin Guyue raised the wine glass and handed it to Qian Xunxue.

"What are you doing?"

"Pour me a glass of wine, and I'll tell you..." Qin Guyue's expression at this time was no different from that of a Deng Tuzi, and she looked at Qian Xunxue in front of her with leisurely eyes. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I will I don't want to say it yet...

"Hmph, let's not take this as an example..." Qian Xunxue poured a full glass of wine for Qin Guyue while talking and said, "Then you can say it?"

Qin Guyue held the fine wine poured by Qianxun Xuesu, put it on the tip of her nose, sniffed it, and praised with a pun: "It smells so good..."

Qian Xunxue now believes that Qin Guyue must be drunk. How could the usual Qin Guyue say such sao words before, but it's okay to be drunk.

At this time, the No. [-] heroine in the southeast has already started to think in her heart, should I ask him something else by the way?

For example, which girl do you like, which girl do you like, which girl do you like...

Seeing Qin Guyue pretending to sip the wine for a while, Qian Xunxue finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Master Guyue, can we talk now?"

"It's very simple..." Qin Guyue clasped her fingers, flicked on the wine glass, and heard the crisp voice of the bronze vessel, said: "Increase the treatment of farmers and craftsmen, let the income of merchants be basically equal to them...then limit the income of merchants." Some rights will do."

"How do you say that?" Qian Xun Xue asked puzzled.

"As long as the merchants do business in Luocheng, although they can enjoy the tax benefits, they must be bound by the regulations..." Qin Guyue seemed to have already thought about it, squinting her eyes, and said intoxicated by the evening wind: "The merchant His sons are not allowed to be officials, are not allowed to wear expensive clothes, and are not allowed to use carriages when going out..."

"Is this a little too harsh?" Qian Xunxue frowned and asked.

"Yeah, it's a bit harsh!" Qin Guyue laughed as if she had succeeded in a prank, and then said something that made Qian Xunxue want to punch Qin Guyue: "If not, how can we let the Farmers and craftsmen feel that although their lives are more miserable than merchants, are they more noble than merchants?"

hypocrite!

Qian Xunxue's punch almost hit Qin Guyue's lower abdomen, but when that punch came, it turned into a palm, and lightly patted Qin Guyue's stomach, Qian Xunxue was angry He turned his head drummingly, and said to himself: "Really, how can there be someone like you? Fortunately, you are not the head of the Qin family, otherwise, the people of Yunshui Villa simply don't know what their lives are like." Such a day, you can use deception to numb your own people..."

"Then do you have a better way?" Qin Guyue was also very bachelor at this time, so she sat down on an armchair opposite Qian Xunxue, crossed her legs and asked, "Sometimes, I don't know , not understanding is better than knowing, understanding is happier, isn’t it?”

"You...you are lying..." Qian Xunxue argued anxiously.

In fact, Qin Guyue was indeed a little bit drunk, but if it wasn't for that little bit of drunkenness, with his personality, he would never have said what he just said to Qian Xunxue, and the facts have proved that he was right up!

"Historical Briefings" records that from the 37th to 38th year of Wu Lie, the "Leshi" system initiated by the city lord emerged in the southeast. The preferential tax of three to five cents less than that of central yang attracted businessmen to set up commercial firms in their cities. trade.

Symbiotic with the Leshi system is the "Merchant Order", which limits the social status and rights that merchants can enjoy.

In this way, large-scale commercial activities did not lead to the barrenness of large-scale fertile land as the rulers of the dynasty feared, and the craftsmen gave up their crafts to do business. There are farmers who work in agriculture from generation to generation, consciously unwilling to go out to do business.

Among the lands in the southeast, the most wonderful one is the Luocheng, so that the history books have to describe it like this:

"The richest city is Luocheng, adjacent to Lingluoshui. The city port stretches for hundreds of miles, and there is a lot of traffic. It goes from south to north without a break."

Only the origin of the music market system is completely untestable.
