Datang Longya

Chapter 602
The stock market is a monster that eats people's money and doesn't spit it out. Leng Feng doesn't want this thing to appear too early.Now Datang is still just a newborn, especially now that it is still at an important juncture of taxation subject change, but it cannot withstand the toss of the stock market.

Fan Zhuo didn't know why Leng Feng hated the stock market so much, but based on his understanding of Leng Feng, what the other party said was absolutely reasonable.

Since he won't allow it, then don't do it!

While eating, Leng Feng suddenly remembered something, and said to Fan Zhuo: "If you have time, tell Hao Wencai and the others about the court's next actions. When the time comes, I still count on you to take the lead."

The construction of the bank can only be done so quickly by relying on the strength of big merchants from all over the country. If the imperial court changes the business tax, they have to take the lead so that the merchants of the Tang Dynasty can adapt faster.

Fan Zhuo nodded, and told Hao Wencai about the change of the tax subject.

After listening, Hao Wencai smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect us businessmen to replace ordinary people as the main taxpayers one day. So, in the future, the status of our businessmen can also increase a little bit?"

Doing business in the Tang Dynasty was called an act of humiliating the ancestors. You were not allowed to be an official, and you were not allowed to wear silk. Even the ancestors who were merchants in recent generations would make future generations look down.

They are all born by their mothers and raised by their fathers. Why do businessmen accept this kind of discrimination?

This is the doubt of many businessmen, but under the public opinion that "businessmen are cheap", they are powerless to change.

Leng Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, but it will take a while. You businessmen have to do something for Datang to raise your status. Before that, leech was synonymous with you."

Knowing that Leng Feng would not lie to him, Hao Wencai said, "Since that's the case, it's best. Although my son graduated from the Literary Academy, he can't be an official because I'm a businessman. He can only wait to inherit my career. I hope such a tragedy will not happen to my grandson!"

Hao Wencai's idea is very simple, but he just wants to have an official Guangzong Yaozu in his family.

The Hao family is also a common surname in Taiyuan, but the clan members are generally common people. Compared with the big families like the Wang family, the Di family and the Wu family, they are not ranked at all.Hao Wencai was also forced to become a businessman. Because of his business, he was even almost expelled from the family tree.

Only when the businessman stops stinking like shit can he really stand up.

After eating a bowl of fried rice with eggs, Leng Feng wiped his mouth and said, "Don't worry, the status of a businessman will definitely be improved, maybe even your grandchildren will not be involved."

After finishing speaking, Leng Feng greeted Lao Yuan to come over and waived the bill for the two of them. After all, Tianxialou belongs to Leng Feng, and he, the master, doesn't even treat guests, so that's not too ugly.

Early the next morning, Leng Feng braved the cold dew and entered the Ministry of War to start a new day of official duties.

It was autumn at this time, and the guards on the four sides of the border began to cry for poverty again.

There's no way, that's how the soldiers are, they act even more bottomless than civil servants.

Just like the one in the grassland, who said that he didn't even have any clothes that didn't leak, and that his subordinates even had a lot of bare buttocks. This year's quilts and cotton clothes must have their share.

This belongs to the category of shameless, the grassland has too much fur, and the sheepskin can't keep warm?What's more, they got some supplies as early as three years ago. Although they didn't get all of them, it was enough for those on duty.

It seems that everyone finds that cotton coats are much easier to wear than sheepskin. Although cotton coats are not as good as sheepskin for keeping out the cold, the advantage is that wearing cotton coats is more convenient than wearing sheepskin.Because of this, many prairie people who couldn't help being horse thieves in winter suffered a great loss from the prairie defense army.

Forget it, the grassland is now Datang's confidant's serious problem, and it is not a problem for these people to succeed.

So, Leng Feng wrote on the official document: "[-] sets, if there are more, I will ask Lao Tzu to pay for it for you!"

There is no way, although the bank has been included in the imperial court, disasters have occurred in some places in the past two years. If the national treasury wants to ensure sufficient funds, it is impossible to approve too much military equipment money, [-] sets. The class cheated.

"Duke Xi, this is not acceptable. Ten thousand sets, do you think that stingy Changsun Wuji can give it to you?"

Du Ruhui held a small teapot and walked in while sipping it.

The method of drinking tea by sipping from a small teapot was invented by Leng Feng. At the beginning, many old masters in the court criticized this method of drinking tea as degrading, but Li Shimin thought it was very free and easy to drink like this, so he strongly advocated it, and then it became popular .

Among the big bosses at the top of the court, Du Ruhui is leisurely, he is the right servant of the Ministry of War, he only needs to deal with some unimportant official documents, and the important ones have to be handled by Leng Feng and even the emperor.

Leng Feng laughed and said, "Are you kidding? Didn't Changsun Wuji lie on the ground with his arms open last time and say that the treasury has no money? At worst, I'll go to court in pajamas, and I don't believe he won't give it."

After living in the court during this period, Leng Feng also learned some things, just convincing others with reasoning will not achieve his goal, and sometimes he has to learn to play tricks.

Du Ruhui put the teapot in his other hand on Leng Feng's table, and said, "Now I understand why those rough billets in the military were so ecstatic when they found out that you were the minister of the Ministry of War. You are obviously spoiling them." ! You don’t even want your face to protect the soldiers from the cold.”

The teapot that Du Ruhui brought to him was warm, suitable for drinking directly. Leng Feng put down his pen and took the teapot while sipping and said: "Sometimes, the enthusiasm of soldiers to serve the country loyally cannot be aroused by just a few words. I always felt that only by being grateful to Datang would the soldiers be willing to risk their lives to fight the enemy.

It is said that raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while. If the soldiers are not raised into bulls, how will they deal with future battles? "

Du Ruhui sat down where he couldn't see the official document, and said with a smile, "You have a lot of reason, and you can play tricks thoroughly. I'm here because I have a question to ask you."

Leng Feng nodded: "You ask."

"Some time ago, the emperor took his spare time to harvest the potatoes and corn in Tianzitian by himself. He also said that it was not enough to experience the joy without harvesting by himself. Let us all harvest by ourselves. It is said that the emperor harvested the things in his own world before the autumn harvest ceremony. I won’t be there by then. I always feel that he wants to do something and keep it from us, do you have any idea?”

It wasn't long before the entrustment of the governor, Du Ruhui was really afraid that the emperor would have another brain twitch and something would happen.

"He took his own land in his spare time?"

This surprised Leng Feng. You must know that this year, because of the spring plowing ceremony, all the crops were planted were potatoes and corn. The emperor purposely expanded the land of all the officials by ten times. What one person could harvest in one day before may take more than ten days this year.

do it.
Seeing that Leng Feng was deep in thought, Du Ruhui asked, "Have you got a clue?"

Leng Feng nodded: "That's right, the emperor is going to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat for a few days."
