Taifu Qin was slightly stunned, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes and said, "Is the emperor ready to implement the policy of valuing business?"

"That's true, business is a very important strategy. In my plan, the focus ratio of business will increase year by year." I said seriously: "Does the Taifu think there is something wrong?"

"The emperor should think twice about this." Taifu Qin frowned and said, "As the saying goes, there is no business, no business, no business. If you focus on business externally, the status of merchants will be greatly improved, and the customs of the people will change. Many ordinary people who are honest in farming will also be volatile, and they will be able to catch speculation and not plant them all day long. At that time, it will inevitably affect the agriculture of our dynasty on a large scale. Emperor, agriculture is the foundation of the Great Wu."

I was so shocked. The thoughts of Taifu Qin were already ahead of the civil and military affairs of the court. Now he is also strongly opposed to the important business, so the other officials below also have the same thoughts compared to most of them, but they dare not think but dare not say them.

"Taifu, I didn't say I wanted to give up agriculture." I frowned and said, "Agriculture is the foundation, I understand this truth very well. However, if a country really wants to become stronger, it is not enough to rely on farming alone." But I thought to myself, it seems that I underestimated the ancient people's dependence on the idea of ​​valuing agriculture and neglecting commerce.

"Your Majesty Rong, for example, Zhang San has 100 taels of silver, Li Si has 100 taels of silver, and Zhang San makes Li Si's money in business and trade. On the surface, Zhang San earns 50 taels of money, and he is also very happy. But from the perspective of the ruler, the two people's sum of money is 200 taels, and there is no difference. It is like a basin of water, no matter how the water flows, it is still a basin of water, and it will not be more. From this, it can be seen that doing business can only benefit some people, and ultimately make the gap between the rich and the poor. Moreover, this does not benefit the country at all, because one ingot of silver will not turn into two ingots of silver. But agriculture is different. If several kilograms of millet are planted, it will turn into dozens of kilograms, and hundreds of kilograms." Taifu Qin talked eruditely.

My heart couldn't stop sinking, and the times had different experiences. I didn't expect that the thinking of these ancient people would be so blocked. I immediately said, "The Taifu's words make sense, but I have extra different opinions. My views are exactly the opposite of the Taifu. Indeed, as the Taifu said, from the standpoint of the country, a total of 200 taels of silver will not suddenly become 300 taels. In the same example, Zhang San earned fifty taels from Li Si's hands for fifty taels.

, and then used this money to hire Wang Wu to make a thousand hoes. In this way, Wang Wu earned fifty taels from Zhang San, and then Wang Wu used this money to hire Li Si to make two thousand sickles. Wang Wu got sickles and Li Si got fifty taels. In this way, from the perspective of the ruler, the sum of the money in the three people was still only two hundred taels. The difference is that the silver circled around the three people, but it gave the country a thousand hoes and two thousand sickles."

I saw Taifu Qin frowning and looking thoughtful, and knew that he was a little moved. I seized the opportunity and said, "If you put a basin of water without moving, it would be like a basin of stagnant water. As long as the water moves, it will be full of vitality. The same is true for the country. The faster the water flows, the faster the country is. The reason why I operate business behind the scenes is not simply to increase income for the treasury and increase income for officials. Instead, I want to use the treasury.

The station slowly flowed the original stagnant water. Just imagine, Mochouzhuang earned silver from the middle and even high-level rich people. However, through the treasury, what is the infrastructure needed for various infrastructure construction? It requires civil servants and craftsmen. The money in the treasury will flow to the hands of civil servants and craftsmen. What will the people do if they have money? They can buy grain and pork. In this way, the money will flow to the farmers and butchers. The farmers and butchers have money.

What would they do? They might buy some supplies and some miscellaneous things. So the money went to the merchants. Then Mochouzhuang used various luxury goods to earn the silver from these wealthy merchants and re-entered them into the treasury. The treasury then carried out infrastructure construction. In this big cycle, the Taifu saw what the country had produced? There were more basic projects, such as colleges, which allowed more people to receive education. Craftsmen and civilians had more food and pork, and their lives were improved, so they would work harder. Farmers and butchers had obtained a lot of daily necessities and their lives were improved, so they would work harder. While the wealthy merchants had more luxury goods and increased their enjoyment, they would find ways to make more useful things. The money was still the money, but it was just like this, but it was better for everyone who was in charge. "

"This, this?" Taifu Qin had never studied this area and was speechless after all my words.

"I just gave a simple example. In fact, the big cycle is far more complicated than this. The economic benefits that can be generated in the middle are far greater than what I said. As for all of them, as long as the Dawu court regulates it at the macro level, the market will naturally adjust automatically." I browly said: "In fact, the benefits of valuing commerce are far more than what I said. With the progress of commercialization, due to the needs of the market, people will also find ways to expand their productivity and find ways to improve the process and quality of making an item. It can also solve the situation where many people have no food to eat and are starved to death."

"The emperor said so many benefits in one breath, what are the benefits?" Qin Taifu Jin Yue had gained some knowledge. He never thought that he could still learn such advanced concepts when he was old.

"Of course there are benefits." I smiled in my eyes: "I will give another example. To produce a Tianluo shirt, it requires a tailor, a dye worker, plus managers, merchants, miscellaneous workers, coachmen, and their families, etc. It is already a great benefit to be able to support such a large number of people, right? Then, we will transport this Tianluo shirt to Goryeo and sell it to the King of Goryeo for 200 taels of silver. In this way, wouldn't it add a drop of water to our large basin of water? We can use these two hundred taels of silver to make two god machine crossbows, or make one hundred more sets of armor for the generals. One is to support the workers, and add more strength to the Great Wu, which can contribute more to the defense of the country."

Although I gave the example small, the significance of tolerance was very great. Master Qin showed infinite spirit in his eyes, as if he had seen a powerful road to Dawu. Suddenly, he knelt heavily on the ground and said, "The old minister has completely convinced the emperor."

I know that although Tai Fu Qin admired me more, he was still a little self-reliant and just wanted to do his best to try to strengthen the country through me. But today, he realized that he had truly followed a wise ruler, a wise ruler who could truly make the country rich and strong. On this land, the idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce for thousands of years would probably be overwhelmed.

"Get up quickly." I hurriedly helped Taifu Qin up and said modestly: "The Taifu is the pillar of the country. The fate of Dawu in the future will be achieved by the Taifu."

"Dare you not accepting the order?" Taifu Qin's eyes showed infinite vitality: "As long as the old minister has a breath, he will do his best to assist the emperor in establishing the prosperous era of Wu."

"Tao Tutor Qin, in fact, although I emphasize business, I also value farmers. Food is the most important thing for people, and food is indeed the foundation of a country." I chuckled softly: "However, the more farmers, the better. Exploring fertile soil to increase the planting area, the improvement of agricultural tools allows a farmer to plant more land, and the improvement of seeds can produce more grain per mu. A large number of farmers saved in this way can carry out other productions such as animal husbandry, commerce, salt fields, casting, manufacturing, smelting, etc. Dawu's agricultural route should develop in this aspect, which is the king."

"The emperor is really full of knowledge. The old minister can assist such a wise king. Even if the old minister devotes his work, there will be no regrets." Taifu Qin was very excited, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Although you don't need to devote yourself to your work, as long as you work with me, you can make sure you can keep your name in history." I smiled and said, "However, in order to make the Great Wu Empire more prosperous and powerful, please hand over your secret medicine for beauty!"

"Secret Medicine for beauty? Master, how could you know that the old minister has this secret medicine in his hand?" Grand Tutor Qin asked incrediblely with a look of shock.

I felt a little happy in my heart. Sure enough, there was such a secret medicine. Then I said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. It seems that the Taifu is already in his seventies, but his face is as smooth as a baby. Why is this?"

"This..." Taifu Qin still wanted to argue: "This is the old minister who has practiced martial arts to the king level, so he can remain in a state of immortality."

"Nonsense." I laughed and said, "Tao Fu, look at your gray hair. I guess you have broken through to the king's realm. I'm afraid it's been happening in recent years, right? Logically, an old man in his sixties has long been covered with wrinkles on his face. Tai Fu, you must have a secret medicine for beauty care, don't mess with me."

The Master Qin had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, then the old minister will help you arrange a few pairs and give them to several empresses for use."

"I'm not saying this." I smiled proudly and said, "I asked you to hand over the secret recipe, but it will be sold in large quantities by Mochou Village. At that time, there will be huge economic effects and will be of great benefit to the country. Taifu, for the benefit of the country, you will have no choice but to push it."

The Master Qin wanted to cry without tears. He held the big hat down and couldn't take it down. He had to smile bitterly and said, "After Qin Yin died, it seems that Wu Yan has seen the ancestors of the master again. The most important secret medicine formula of the master is actually to be sold."
