The champion is my son

Chapter 310
Gu Changfeng is in his fifties this year, his hair is covered by an official hat, his face is slightly wrinkled, his beard and hair are slightly black, with a faint white interspersed in it.The whole person is in good spirits.He was also wearing a purple official uniform, he must have just left the morning court, before he had time to take it off, he rushed over in a hurry.

After all, there was still some distance between the imperial palace and the Imperial College, so it was too late to change into plain clothes.

"Jinzhou Jiang Yunji meets the teacher." Yunji put down the box and bowed to Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changfeng looked at the cloud and behaved very well, without any inconsistencies, so he couldn't help but nodded and smiled.He heard about this child prodigy many years ago. When the boy from the Ministry of Rites was taking the test, he originally wanted to test him with the most common method - memorizing scriptures.But when he saw this child, he temporarily changed his mind.

I didn't expect this child to be able to respond fluently.

Truly a child prodigy.

Unlike in the past, those who come to the boy are almost only memorized, not able to explain and answer questions, and most of those people died young.

And this doll, with bright colors on her brows and scales in her mannerisms, walks briskly but has a gentle breeze, and her body is also healthy.There is no sign of premature death at all.

This is a really down-to-earth kid.

"Get up, you are the person His Majesty gave me, but he can't impose a student on me. I will recognize you only if you pass my assessment." Although Gu Changfeng saw something from some subtleties, but To be on the safe side, he still had to question Yun Ji.

Yun had already expected that Gu Changfeng would come this time, and had already made sufficient preparations.

"Listen well, today there are salt and iron merchants selling fine salt and refined iron privately, but the imperial court has been unable to catch them for a long time, so one day the imperial court gathered all parties to discuss the salt and iron in the Han Dynasty. What about the camp?" Gu Changfeng looked at Yunji standing inside the door in a green dress, but outside the door was a vast expanse of white, green and white, so innocent.

After Yun Ji heard Gu Changfeng's words, his mind turned away.What Gu Changfeng asked was a question related to the livelihood of the country and the people.First of all, you have to occupy a seat. Gu Changfeng represents the will of the imperial court, so he must find the right position and express why he stands in this position.

"Can the students not say which side they are on?" Yun Ji smiled slightly.

"Oh? What's the reason?" Yan Tielun said that the imperial court will hold a ceremony in the near future, and the venue will be in this Yingtian Academy.At that time, many ministers in the DPRK and China, as well as great Confucianism and businessmen will participate in the debate. The core of the debate is whether the salt and iron are government-run or private.

"Let's listen to the students talking about it." Yunji said calmly: "Salt is the foundation of the people, iron is the most important weapon of the country, the people cannot live without salt, and the soldiers cannot guard the frontier without iron. If a country If the balance between salt and iron is out of balance, the people will not be able to eat the indispensable salt and iron utensils as usual, and there will be several major disadvantages. First, the lack of salt makes the people unable to cultivate, and the so-called foundation cannot stick to it. Therefore, people who are short of salt will definitely think that the internal affairs were unstable due to the lack of regulation by the imperial court at that time, and this is also the reason for ironware."

"What you said is normal." Gu Changfeng stroked his beard and shook his head slightly.

"Then teacher, the students here have a question. Before the Salt and Iron Discussion, wasn't the Salt and Iron government run by me? Or was it always run by the government and the private sector?" Yun Ji stood sideways and stood still.

Gu Changfeng vaguely knew what Yun Ji was going to ask, it was nothing more than that it was an official camp before, and now it's superfluous to talk about salt and iron.

"It was government-run before, and there were clear laws and regulations that private sales were not allowed, but so what? The private and government-run salt and iron have been in opposition since ancient times.

Yun Ji shook his head slightly, and continued: "The student has not finished speaking. Before that, the imperial court has issued a decree that those who sell salt and iron privately will be punished with death. Why are there so many people who are willing to take the risk of exterminating the nine clans to do such a thing?" What? It’s the windfall profit.”

"This is something everyone knows. There is no benefit. Who would be so full to do this?" Gu Changfeng went all out, and he kept talking against Yunji in order to disturb Yunji's thoughts.

Yunji was not moved at all, what he thought of was always his own point of view.Gu Changfeng interrupted once, and he immediately threw out a sentence, let's see who has consumed whom?His point of view is not necessarily correct, but he is full of confidence and always feels that his ideas have some truth.

"It's because of this that the prohibition continues."

Gu Changfeng: "???"

"In ancient times, Yu had the practice of blocking rather than sparse. Faced with this kind of slanted approach, can't we adopt the method of dredging?" For a long time, there is only squeeze between officials and businessmen, but no benefit sharing.It's like A Niang doing business in secret, and three-tenths of the profits will be expropriated by the court.

He disagrees with the emphasis on capital and business since ancient times.

Merchants happen to be the most powerful link connecting the common people. Without merchants, how can the output of the common people be turned into money and sustain their daily lives?

When he asked his A-niang why the court put so much emphasis on agriculture and despised businessmen, A-niang said something that he couldn't understand.He also said that the nature of the times is such that no one can reverse this status quo unless there is a fundamental change in the system one day.A Niang told him not to explore, let alone try to change, the reason is that before the time comes, if he forcibly goes against the sky, he will be punished by heaven.

"Why is blocking better than sparse?" Gu Changfeng straightened up.Hearing Yunji talk about his own point of view, Gu Changfeng finally felt a little satisfied with the student that the emperor forced on him.

"I heard that the merchants who are closely connected with the palace are called imperial merchants. In fact, the students have a very immature idea, that is, government-business cooperation. The imperial court appoints merchants to engage in salt and iron operations. On this basis, the students believe that it is necessary to completely put an end to this This kind of thing is impossible, instead of this, it is better to guide, the so-called untie the bell must continue the bell, first complete the bill of Tianqi on it, and then encourage the people or businessmen to report, the whistleblower is anonymous, and the truth needs to be found out Afterwards, the imperial court used money secretly, and everyone was in danger for a while, so they dared not do it."

Gu Changfeng looked at Yunji appreciatively, and said, "Your idea is really immature. Government-business cooperation has existed for a long time, but it's a new thing for the latter to report anonymously."

"Students are dull, and all they can think of is Er Er."

He wanted to say that if the business tax was lowered and the land tax for the common people was lowered, it would not have fallen to this point.It's a pity that if he said such things in the tone of a scholar who has not yet entered an official position, he would be expelled from the academy immediately, and even his family members would be affected.After comprehensive consideration, Yun Ji decided to bury this secret.

These words can only be said to my mother.

"It's already pretty good, I'll accept you." Gu Changfeng sat back on the chair again, waiting for Yunji's apprentice ceremony.

　Hehehe (﹃) I have class tonight, so it is delayed. The day is full of classes. Now I have to do my homework. After finishing the homework, I will write the book and prepare for tomorrow's update.

　　Don't ask for praise, I'm afraid that I will really hug the top [-] in Sichuan, and then go to the national PK to be ashamed and drag my feet.
