The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 620

He could already see that the emperor had made up his mind, and the emperor had asked Gu Chengyu to raise this matter in the early court, presumably it was not for them to discuss it.Instead, let Gu Chengyu tell them how to implement it.

At this moment, he can't raise objections, otherwise the emperor will definitely be unhappy.And the emperor's decision will not change, so he might as well be more sensible.

As the chief assistant, he has a lot of filial piety.He doesn't pay attention to those tea farmers who are filial.

Xia Qing admits that Gu Chengyu is very talented, but Gu Chengyu is still too young.And now the official position is only a sixth grade, Gu Chengyu suffers from it.

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly scolded that Xia Qingguo was really an old fox, and he was thick-skinned.

Sure enough, the emperor's complexion has eased a bit, which is satisfied with Xia Qing's understanding.As long as the chief assistant agrees, there will be fewer obstacles to the tea tax.

Gu Chengyu hesitated for a moment, but decided to fight for it.After all, the mutual market is beneficial to the imperial court. He just wants to do his part. If it is really not feasible, then he can only give up.

After all, a person's ability is limited, and Jiang Mingyuan has just become an official in the capital, and his connections are not very rich, so it is not bad to stand up and say a few words for him.

"Looking back at Mr. Fu, this is going to go back to what I said before I was dismissed. As long as Daxing is given enough benefits, they will take advantage of it. Naturally, they will be full of joy at the beginning. When they come to their senses, we will also get a great deal." We are not at a loss for the benefits."

"If they no longer agree to form an alliance in the future, then the mutual market can be given up! However, this is just a humble opinion that I thought of last night. If the emperor and your lords feel that this is not feasible, then it can only be said that the officials are thinking too much. It's one-sided."

Gu Chengyu also admitted that his ideas were not perfect yet.However, perfecting it doesn't happen overnight.And the world is constantly changing, he is not at the border, and these things are limited to similar documents from previous lives, and it may become very difficult to actually implement them.

For example, the deployment of troops, whether the soldiers are good at fighting, and whether the general has a strategy are all indispensable elements for the opening of the exchange market.

What Dai Yuanji said was not unreasonable. Gu Chengyu thought about it just now, maybe he really took it for granted.

"No! Father, my son thinks that the mutual market that Gu Xiuzhuan mentioned can be tried. We are such a big country, are we afraid that their small country will fail? Besides, there are many benefits to opening the mutual market, at least in terms of taxation , can contribute to filling the national treasury.”

The eldest prince pondered for a moment, and then said: "The points that Gu Xiuzhuan put forward just now are quite reasonable. As for the others, these points alone will definitely not work. However, this has to be solved slowly during the implementation. I definitely didn't expect it to be so comprehensive. For this matter, I think that I need to send officials to the border to make a detailed plan. In the court today, I definitely can't argue about the reason."

Gu Chengyu was really surprised, he didn't expect the eldest prince to agree with him.In fact, he felt that these officials were looking forward and backward, and were afraid of wolves and tigers, so how could Dayan prosper?

It seems that the eldest prince does have a sense of drive, and naturally has no shortage of ambitions, suitable for expanding the territory, not suitable for maintaining a faction.

The emperor also felt that the points proposed by Gu Chengyu basically solved some of the major problems.He was also a little moved, and it was impossible to say that he was not moved.

He is just old now, how could he be so hesitant when he was young?He sighed, he was still old, he only wanted to be successful, and lost his previous ambitions.

Still glanced at the first prince, and felt that among the four princes, the one who resembled him the most was the eldest.It's a pity that the boss is a concubine.
The second prince clenched his fists, but did not answer after all.

"The matter of the tea-horse exchange is on hold for now, and I will send people to the border to investigate. But regarding the tea tax, do you have any objections?"

Seeing that the emperor has intentions, it is not easy to spoil the emperor's interest.After all, the mutual market cannot be done with just a few words. When the officials sent to the border come back, the emperor will let them participate in the discussion.

Dai Yuanji glanced at the emperor, hesitated to speak.It wasn't until the emperor mentioned the tea tax that he returned it.Doesn't he understand the emperor's temperament?As long as it is decided, even if the courtiers object, the emperor will not listen, so why should he be such a villain again?

He took a deep look at Gu Chengyu, the emperor valued him so much.But this person's mind is like a sieve, for Dayan, he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Naturally, the other officials did not dare to have any objections. Even Lord Shoufu agreed, but even if they opposed it, it would be futile.

But at this time, Gu Chengyu spoke again.

"My Majesty, just now I said I would like to add a few points, but now I haven't finished."

Xia Qing couldn't help but snorted coldly, the emperor had already agreed to his tea tax.This Gu Chengyu really didn't know what to do, and dared to interrupt in front of the emperor.

"Oh? Then Gu Aiqing will tell you." The emperor's face softened because Gu Chengyu explained that he thought about it the night before.

As for Gu Chengyu, there are a few more points to be raised, the emperor will naturally want to listen, after all, it is beneficial to implement the tea tax, isn't it?
Gu Chengyu raised his head and took a sneak peek, seeing that the emperor's face was not as gloomy as before, so he was relieved.

"My Majesty, I think that if the government can build government warehouses on the roads that have big tea farms. As long as they are tea merchants in the past, they can put tea in the government warehouses. Don't worry about the safety of tea and people."

The emperor nodded, thinking that this method is very good, it can be regarded as a compensation for the tea merchants.

"Your Majesty, building a warehouse is a huge expense!" At this moment, Shen Shikang, who was huddled aside, finally spoke, and immediately shouted that he had no money.

When the emperor heard this, he was so angry that he was about to lose his temper immediately.

If the officials of the Ministry of Households don't try to increase income and reduce expenditure, they will only cry about being poor. How could the emperor not be angry?
"My Majesty, in fact, these tea merchants naturally paid for it. If the tea merchants want to put it in the government's warehouse, they have to pay a corresponding proportion of silver according to the tonnage of the tea, which can be called land-settling money. However, Weichen did not calculate it carefully, so I will not repeat it. But Weichen thinks that the annual land tax of tea farmers can be reduced or exempted."

"According to what Gu Xiuzhuan said, the tea merchants are the ones who suffer the most? The land tax for those tea farmers is quite a lot every year. How is that different from the tea tax?"

The third prince disliked Gu Chengyu who ruined his fortune.However, he also had to admit that Gu Chengyu was talented, and he thought of the common people.

"If you go back to His Highness, it's just a part of the reduction, which can be regarded as compensation to the tea farmers. After all, it's too harsh, and the tea farmers don't want to grow tea anymore."
