Empress is His Majesty's White Moonlight

Chapter 348 Extra Story
Three days later.

Yangzhou County Governor's Mansion.

The light rain is pattering, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

The rain is falling slowly, and the pavilions in the distance are hazy.

The rain fell in the small puddles, splashing a blossoming spray.

On the table was a map of Yangzhou.

Jun Shubai filled Sang Xia with tea, and asked lightly, "What did you think of?"

Sang Xia looked at the map of Yangzhou, touched his chin thoughtfully: "Jun Shubai, if you reward merchants so much, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the farming people. It is not advisable."

He said: "Only in this way will the enthusiasm be mobilized."

The man's voice is warm and pleasant.

"Not advisable." Sang Xia still shook her head, and she opposed it simply. "As the saying goes, food and grass go first before soldiers and horses are moved. Although farming ideas are backward, farming is the most solid backing of the country."

"I didn't say abolish farming."

"But if you reward merchants like this, how many people are willing to farm?"

"For the time being," Jun Shubai said in a calm and gentle tone, "After the business is stable and mature, they will naturally not need these incentive policies."

"What if there is not enough food in the country?"

"If you have more money, you can naturally buy products from other countries."

Sang Xia froze for a moment, then shook her head.

Jun Shubai was slightly puzzled: "What are you worrying about?"

"It's not a concern. I understand what you mean. It's just that the country is rich and the people are strong. If we want to carry out agricultural and mulberry reforms, the treasury has enough money to turn around, and the reform will be smooth."

He raised his eyes: "So?"

Sangxia crossed her legs, looked up at him, and said concisely: "Prevent war every year, guard against thieves every night, my final opinion, I don't agree to simply reward merchants, rewards should be rewarded together, reforms should be reformed together, and the report is over."

"Are you worried about a war?"

"Ah."

"Now the world is at peace, how could the war be caused by the Nongsang reform?"

She took a sip of tea, her eyes were calm: "His Royal Highness, reform is not that simple, have you ever tried to understand the real long-cherished wish of the people at the bottom?"

After Jun Shubai heard the words, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Water can carry a boat and capsize it!"

"Rewarding merchants is based on the original intention of considering the people," Jun Shubai drew out the circle of Yangzhou city with a pen, and said seriously, "They can choose to do business or continue farming. The court has no intention of coercion." .”

"They will follow suit in business. Even if they don't have any brains, they don't want others to be rich and they are poor. When the time comes, not a few will lose money. You want to comfort them one by one?"

Jun Shubai was silent for a while, and said, "How do you know that most people will pay if you haven't tried?"

Her tone was slightly impatient: "You can't over-reward merchants, you can't over-reward merchants, why don't you understand?"

There was a faint smile on Jun Shubai's lips. He was always patient, and asked, "Sangxia, if you don't reward like this, how can you mobilize your enthusiasm?"

"What are you trying to adjust?" She immediately asked back, "They're all going into business, fuck, the fields are going to waste?"

"The income brought by farming is too low, and the ban is inevitable."

"Can it be banned?"

Jun Shubai nodded.

"You think too well," Sangxia couldn't help rolling her eyes. "If it's so easy to get rich, are there still poor people in this world? The next best thing is that if everyone becomes rich, who will be low-level and middle-level?" What about people?"

He was slightly startled: "Are you classifying?"

"Yes, in a sense, it is necessary to divide the ranks."
