Molested Zulong at the beginning

Bai Su smiled on his face: "My lord's words are wrong."

Yan Lu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Su held up a finger and said: "The reason why the Tian family was able to usurp Qi has nothing to do with his status as a businessman, it is simply because the power of the Qi king is declining, the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, and the monarch has gradually become weak. Take control of the temple."

"Even if there is no Tian family, if it is another famous courtier who knows how to buy people's hearts, Qi will still be usurped sooner or later."

"There are no merchants in the ruling and opposition parties of Jin, but there are still three divisions. This is essentially the reason for the decline of royal power and the fall of power, and has little to do with merchants."

"To put it bluntly, this businessman is just a branch on a potted plant. What kind of shape it will grow depends entirely on the court's thoughts."

"The imperial court holds millions of troops. With these sharp scissors, if these businessmen are decent and obedient, let them grow well. If they don't want to be obedient, then give them a pair of scissors to make them decent."

"The so-called merchants in front of His Majesty are just a group of playthings in the palm of their hands. There is no need to worry."

Yan Lu's slender black eyebrows frowned, and he glanced at Bai Su in front of him in surprise. He didn't expect Bai Su to be so clear about the inside story of the six kingdoms and the court power struggle in the past.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead, and she said immediately: "In this case, why not let the imperial court monopolize all trade, why bother to let private merchants participate in one after another, violate the national policy for many years, and give them the opportunity to drive up prices and disrupt the world , isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?"

Bai Su shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's not looking for trouble, it's just for the convenience of the court's governance, so I did this."

Yan Lu was taken aback for a moment: "What...what do you mean?"

Bai Su said with a smile: "There are many types of business. Necessities like salt and iron need to be completely monopolized by the imperial court to prevent some merchants from driving up prices and disturbing the world for profit."

"As for some non-essential items, such as cloth, embroidery, lacquerware, wine, and cinnabar, it is more appropriate for these businesses to be run by private merchants."

"After all, the energy of the imperial court is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything and hold everything in one's hands."

"This kind of production, transportation, and sale are all very troublesome things. We need to send a large number of officials, and we can't manage it at all."

"Let these businesses be handed over to private merchants, and let them find ways to transport them to various places and make money outside the Great Wall. The imperial court only needs to control each checkpoint and collect taxes."

"In this way, we only need a small cost, and we can easily receive a generous tax from the hands of the merchants. With the replenishment of the merchants, the supplies of the people will gradually become abundant, life will improve, and the treasury will also Gradually become more abundant, is there a more cost-effective deal in the world?"

"Even, when the court encounters an emergency shortage of money in the future, it can choose a fatter pig to kill for a fat year. Why not do it?"

Yan Lu stared blankly at Bai Su, and couldn't help but gasped for a while.

Others are harvesting food to support their families, but he is treating businessmen as straw and harvesting round after round.

It's really good to use business as grass... What a deep calculation.

Bai Su looked at her with a smile: "I don't know what else you want to ask?"

Yan Lu's face paled for a while, she never expected that Bai Su, at such a young age, would know so much about the way of doing business, governing the country, and the court battles hundreds of years ago.

It was as if a hundred schools of thought had gathered in one body, and this oppressive feeling made her chest feel tight, and she was a little out of breath.

Yan Lu looked at the smiling Bai Su in front of him, and after struggling for a long time, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord is a great talent, I lost."

As the words fell, her whole body seemed to be drained of strength for an instant, and her steps became much more vain.

All the officials present were stunned, and this...

The figure in front of him, dressed in a white robe, with a light smile on his face, was imprinted in their minds and became an eternal memory.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

a few days later.

The entire city of Xianyang boiled.

There is only one reason...

The imperial court finally relaxed its suppression of businessmen, so they don't have to worry about being captured and serving corvee service together with prisoners.

It is completely possible to trade in an all-round way.

Although according to the content of the notice, the more money you earn from doing business, the higher the tax you need to pay, which is a little uncomfortable, but it is not unacceptable.

Because, the imperial court will take the lead in opening trade with the grassland and the Yuezhi country, which is exciting news.

You know, the goods from the Central Plains are outside the customs, and they are scarce.

Just bring some medicinal materials, wine, pottery, silk, and go outside the customs, you can easily earn several times, ten times the huge profits, and collect tens of thousands of money.

In the past, when trading with the Xiongnu tribe outside the pass, one had to worry about bandits on the road, or being killed and plundered by the Huns, which was life-threatening.

But it is different now, the imperial court takes the lead to go to trade outside the customs, and can seek the protection of the government along the way, so that the safety is guaranteed, and it seems that it is not unacceptable to pay more taxes.

For a time, the city was full of voices.

A large number of merchants gathered in Xianyang were preparing their own goods, and they were going to follow the court's troops and go outside the pass together.

At the same time, in the Shaofu.

Holding a volume of freshly bound books in his hand, Bai Su touched his chin and fell into thinking. The economy has basically been established, and the second step is naturally to start with culture.

If you want the Xiongnu tribe to change their customs and integrate into the Central Plains, this change of customs is essential.

He specially asked his men to bind some books, and prepared to transport them to the outside of the Great Wall with the caravan. Most of them were about the Central Plains' dress code, ethics, morals, and some simple surnames, genealogy and so on.

So that Beiting Protectorate, starting from Zuo Xianwang, learns the characters of the Central Plains from top to bottom, wears the clothes of the Central Plains, changes the name of the Central Plains, and abides by the ethics of the Central Plains.

After all, the customs of the Xiongnu tribe are still very backward. When the father dies, the father's wife and concubines are inherited by the son.

If the older brother dies, the older brother's wife and concubine will be inherited by the younger brother.

As for the German orthopedics department, it has no scruples.

Compared with the Central Plains, such customs and habits are too barbaric and backward.

Therefore, Bai Su plans to start from the nobles of the Huns to the students in private schools to reform the local customs and habits.

It is believed that after one or two generations, there will be no Huns royal court in the land of Monan.

"Is this Zhou Li?"

Wang Er looked at the books on the table, and felt completely overwhelmed by Bai Su in his heart.

After the Longmen Study has been in operation for a period of time, he certainly knows the benefits of this paper book. It is light, large in volume, and low in cost. It is simply the best tool for knowledge dissemination.

In the past, Jiang Taigong went to Qidi to preach to a group of Dongyi, spreading the etiquette of the Central Plains, and the audience was only seven to eight hundred people.

Fortunately, Bai Su, in just such a short period of time, there is a way to educate the hundreds of thousands of barbarians in the entire Monan land and turn them into Xia.

This level of talent is simply astonishing.

Wang Er respectfully said: "My lord, the school team has finished all the formalities, do you..."

"Your Highness...Your Highness, this is an important place in the inner palace. His Majesty specifically stipulates that outsiders are not allowed to come in casually."

"Hmph, His Highness is not an outsider."

"But... Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Amidst the panicked shouts of the guards, a slender figure walked in, blinking a pair of strange-colored eyes, it wasn't Hu Yan, who it was.

The guard, who couldn't stop Hu Yan at all and was sweating profusely, cupped his hands to Bai Su in panic, "My...my lord, it's not that I don't work hard, it's really..."

Bai Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "There's no need to panic, I'll explain to His Majesty, you can go down first."

The guard felt relieved, saluted Bai Su, and retreated.

Hu Yan pursed his bright red lips, and said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, you, you have been hiding here for the past two days, and you have not come to see me."

This time she won against Fusu in the temple, and in front of all civil and military officials, she made a big splash, which made her very proud.

I wanted to take Bai Su together, show off my affection in front of my sister Fusu, and give her a good blow.

But Bai Su hid in the inner mansion for several days in a row and did not show up, which made her feel a burst of regret.

Bai Su rubbed his nose: "I'm busy preparing a private school so that I can do business for His Majesty. I planned to see you after I finished my work, but I didn't expect you to come here directly."

Hu Yan curled his lips: "I don't believe you, a man's mouth, a deceitful ghost."

Bai Su smiled: "A woman's lips can seduce a man's soul."

Hu Tan thought of some unhealthy pictures, and his fair and pretty face suddenly turned bright red.

She coughed lightly, her strange eyes swept around, and changed the subject: "What are you holding in your hand?"

Bai Su raised the surname and genealogy in his hand: "This is a book prepared to let the Huns change their customs."

A trace of doubt appeared on Hu Tan's face: "Books that change customs?"

She picked up a book curiously, and looked down, the content on it was very simple, it was some usual clothes, hairstyles, and small seal characters of Daxia.

Hu Yan's petite body sat on the table, and whispered in his mouth: "This is a tall temple, there are also hanging temples, and a cone bun. This hairstyle is quite detailed..."

Her voice was ethereal and lively with a young girl, which sounded quite pleasing to the ear. A pair of white and slender jade legs hung down in the air.

The small jade feet wearing white foot bags, stepping on exquisite wooden clogs, swaying back and forth, very cute.

Bai Su looked at her exquisite jade feet, and couldn't help thinking wildly, if such exquisite jade... even after playing for a year, he wouldn't get tired of it.

Fortunately, Hu Tan didn't know what Bai Su was thinking, otherwise he would definitely become angry from embarrassment.

She put down the book in her hand, a glint of admiration flashed in her eyes, but she said proudly, "Did you make this up? Yes, yes, it's almost half as talented as mine."

The corner of Bai Su's mouth twitched: "It's really an honor to be half as talented as His Highness."

Hu Yanying smiled: "It's good to know, all the talents in the world share one stone, I have seven buckets for myself, you have one bucket, my mother has one bucket, and all people in the world share one bucket."

He looked at Bai Su's dumbfounded expression, and his eyes flickered: "Are you going to use these books to assimilate the Huns in Monan?"

Bai Su nodded: "As long as it is carried out steadily, within one or two generations, the Monan area will be completely digested by the Central Plains, and there will be no need to build the Great Wall anymore... because the entire grassland is our pasture."

Hu Tan's amber-like eyes stared at the confident Bai Su in front of her, and her voice became much gentler: "You have done so much for the court, but my mother doesn't give you any rewards at all." , is really a bit too stingy..."

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "It's not right for you to say that, Your Majesty has already rewarded me with the most important thing."

In a trance, he recalled the scene in the dormitory, and couldn't help feeling a little distracted.

The human heart hidden under the dragon robe is even wider than he imagined, and that mind can contain everything.

"The most important thing..."

Seeing Bai Su looking straight at him, Hu Tan thought that the reward Bai Su was talking about was her.

She suddenly became shy: "You...don't talk nonsense, I haven't promised you yet, unless you make me happy, otherwise, I won't agree to your request..."

Her chest was pounding, and she thought to herself that this bad thing is really outspoken, this is the Shaofu, if someone sees that she has been molested, I, His Highness Hu Yan, don't want to lose face.

Bai Su gave her a strange look: "Your Majesty granted me the title of Shao Liang Zao, and commanded the entire Shao Mansion. Isn't this a precious reward?"

Hu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and the whole person froze for a moment.

She immediately bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and gave Bai Su a shameful look: "I hate you to death."

As he spoke, he grabbed Bai Su's arm, opened his mouth and bit it hard.

Bai Su couldn't help smiling when he looked at Hu Tan who was biting his arm like a kitten with fried fur.

A row of crescent-like tooth marks were left on the arm.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Soon, the imperial edict was issued, ordering Meng Tian to be the guardian of Beiting, and lead the army to the north to garrison the land of Monan.

Along with the army going north, in addition to the brave soldiers and horses of Daxia, there were also carriages one after another, pulling a lot of goods, all the way towards the outside of the pass.

Among the restaurants.

At this time, it was almost full of people, and it was dark as far as the eye could see.

At this time, a young man and woman were walking over from outside.

If it was placed in the past, it would definitely attract everyone's attention, but now few care, they are busy discussing trade matters.

"Hey, do you think I can make money by pulling a load of medicinal materials and going beyond the Great Wall?"

"Of course, my brother-in-law next door and his second uncle took the risk of pulling a cart of salt to the grassland when the army just recovered the land of Monan. Guess what happened?"

"how?"

"This small pot of salt was exchanged for three whole cows. After returning to the Central Plains, I was sitting on tens of thousands of money and thousands of acres of fertile land. That's an enviable one."

"Hiss, this business with Beyond the Great Wall is so profitable!!!"

"I heard that this business strategy was dedicated to His Majesty by Young Master Bai. Only then did the imperial court ease the suppression of businessmen."

"This Mr. Bai is really a good person. Such a good opportunity to make money is actually given to ordinary people like me."
