Xu Changqing was stunned and looked at the beautiful girl.

The beautiful girl was a little shy, but she mustered up the courage to look at Xu Changqing, with her big eyes extremely agile.

"hehe."

Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Why do I say I like this poem instead of this character?"

Seeing Xu Changqing's gentle attitude, the beautiful girl also relieved a little. Her snow-white teeth bit her red lips and said, "I don't know, I feel it. I feel that when the marquis looked at this calligraphy, she seemed to be touched. Everyone dared to ask this question..."

"oh?"

Xu Changqing smiled softer, "Do you like this poem too?"

"Um."

The beautiful girl seemed to have found a soulmate, and her eyes were full of light: "Mr. Marquis, I don't know why, since I learned to read, I liked this poem very much. This poem was also collected by my family for a long time. Later, I begged for a long time before my grandfather gave it to me. I didn't agree with it when I took it out today, but my grandfather didn't allow it. I could only come over and stare at it myself..."

Xu Changqing thought this beautiful girl was a scheming bitch, but when she saw her appearance at this moment, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Jin Da borrowed Yin Susu's mouth and said a famous saying: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more she will be able to deceive people."

This beautiful girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and Xu Changqing cannot judge her rank for a while.

Behind them, when they saw Xu Changqing chatting with a little girl, they couldn't help but stop in surprise, and then they all inquired about the identity of the little girl.

Soon, everyone's eyes gathered on a thin white-bearded old man, who was the third master of the Qu family in Shanxi, Qu Yong.

Qu Yong was also a little confused, and he was so excited that he didn't know why.

He originally pinched his nose and promised his precious granddaughter to come over, but he was worried that something might happen, but he never thought that at the beginning, his precious granddaughter actually looked at Xu Changqing like that...

In this kind of occasion, it is not appropriate to waste time on such minor issues, but this beautiful girl really attracted Xu Changqing, who was reluctant to move for a moment.

Of course, the most important thing is that the general trend has been completely controlled by Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing already has enough capital to play with the show.

Furthermore, this seems to be a good opportunity to reveal "flaws".

After a moment, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "I wonder how do you understand this poem, Miss?"

The beautiful girl was also attracted by Xu Changqing's calmness and etiquette at this time. She obviously couldn't find someone who could speak like Xu Changqing, who knew how to listen and grasp her rhythm on weekdays.

He hurriedly said, "I, I don't know what to say. When I was a child, I thought this was a love poem, which was Li Shangyin's longing for his wife. But later I grew up and found that the time of this poem was somewhat inconsistent. For this reason, I looked up a lot of information, but I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried it. Later, I asked people, but I became more and more confused. But I always felt that this poem seemed to be talking about time..."

Perhaps because she was afraid that Xu Changqing would run away, the beautiful girl explained to Xu Changqing like a small mouth, and forgot her respectful words.

Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing: "You understand this poem as time, to some extent, this is right. Girl, but unfortunately, there is something to do for the time being. I wonder if I'm finished my work later, can I have a cup of tea with the girl and talk about it in detail with tea instead of wine?"

"ah……"

The beautiful girl came back to her senses, and her pretty face immediately blushed, but she didn't know how to respond.

Xu Changqing grabbed her little hand directly, felt the expected perfect touch like nephrite, and then gently pinched it, leaving with a smile.

When Xu Changqing left, there was a sudden unstoppable commotion around him.

The eyes of the women looking at the beautiful girl almost burst out with flames.

This stinky girl with not even her hair is full, isn’t she so lucky?

And the men were also thinking.

Soon, when they passed by the beautiful girl, they all nodded reservedly.

This made the Qingli girl a little confused. What's wrong with this?

Until grandpa came over and whispered to her a few words, she realized that her pretty face was almost red.

She, was she actually attracted by the legendary man?

...

After this little episode, the atmosphere became much more relaxed inadvertently.

When he arrived at the main banquet hall, Xu Changqing did not ask for help, but took the initiative to toast everyone: "Haha, everyone, you are all great people that Changqing has long admired. Changqing had always wanted to have a good chat with you a long time ago, but he didn't expect that until now, there was such an opportunity. Come on, Changqing will do this glass of wine first, and to everyone!"

Seeing Xu Changqing drinking the first glass of wine with voluntarily, the atmosphere in the venue couldn't help but become more lively.

Although they have long heard of Xu Changqing's reputation, even their ears are almost beaten out of calluses, they know that Xu Changqing is a person who abides by the rules and values ​​more.

But after all, I have never communicated with Xu Changqing in person, and everyone will inevitably feel nervous.

At this time, Xu Changqing was so gentle, it was clearly giving everyone a chance, so how could it not be excited or excited?

Soon, everyone began to sing and the atmosphere in the venue became more and more lively. Xu Changqing gradually brought the topic to the Nanyang and the sea trade, which caused a lot of shock.

Note.

Everyone knows that the sea trade is rich, but in the Ming Dynasty, this is always a taboo.

Even if the eunuch of the Three Treasures voyages to the West seven times, the explanation is still very secretive in the folk circulation, let alone the follow-up.

Over time, sea trade has become a taboo, and everyone can only watch it secretly. Occasionally, if you are lucky, you will be a small supplier, and even if you make money, you will be worried.

Who would have thought that at this time Xu Changqing took the initiative to bring out this taboo to talk about it?

As Xu Changqing explained this matter, especially when he heard that at this time, the Model Army had already had fixed strongholds near Manila and Jakarta, and had bought dozens of core islands, with tens of thousands of people already, which directly detonated the field.

To put it bluntly, these people present are all not good birds, they all carry original sins, and few are clean.

Because you can't survive cleanly.

They were all more or less involved with the Qing Dynasty, long before the rise of the Qing army.

At this time, Xu Changqing actually took the initiative to stand up and endorse them and let them participate in the maritime trade in Nanyang, which is to benefit the people.

On this side, Xu Changqing finished talking about the general trend, but did not hide it in the fog, but instead made it straightforward:

"I know, it's no point to say it. Now that I, Xu Changqing, say this, everyone will definitely feel uneasy even if they believe it now. Haha, don't be nervous, this is human nature. If Xu Changqing, I, if I, Xu Changqing, are in the same position as everyone at this time, I will be the same.

But for this matter, Xu Changqing, I, can guarantee you here!

As long as everyone pays taxes and fees reasonably, does not sell their country, does not invest in enemies, and does not do anything to sorry to the Ming Dynasty and the Han people, I, Xu Changqing, and my model army, will always provide everyone with shields and all protections!"

"this……"

As soon as Xu Changqing said this, the venue was really going to explode.

Even Luo Yangxing, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Fan Yongdou and others did not expect that Xu Changqing would make up such a great determination and stand up to endorse the letter directly.

"Mr. Marquis, how dare you ask, how much is the commercial tax for this sea trade?"

Soon, an old man from the Wang family in Shanxi could no longer hold back and mustered up the courage to ask.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Mr. Wang asked well! My Ming Dynasty has always been a light on commercial tax. It has always been thirty taxes, or even lower. But facts have proved that this method is not advisable.

I have been discussing and discussing this matter with many colleagues.

Taxes are light, which seems to be profitable to merchants, but in fact they are not.

Everyone's commercial taxes are lighter, and it seems that they have made money, but the court cannot collect taxes, so they have to find them back from the poorest ordinary people.

But if the people have no money, I dare to ask everyone, everyone can really

Make a lot of money?"

Without waiting for everyone to respond, Xu Changqing continued: "But if the tax is heavy and the income is not enough, and everyone can't make money in business, how can they work hard again?

This is also unfavorable!

So, after thinking about it, and discussing it many times, I reached an agreement with my colleagues from the Shogunate Department to set the commercial tax rate at 10 taxes.

And if it is some dangerous and more profitable special business, the tax rate is set at 10 tax and 3. I wonder what everyone thinks?”

There was an uproar in the venue.

Xu Changqing's tax rate seems not high, but it is by no means light. As he said, this must have been accurately calculated.

However, Xu Changqing's words were extremely straightforward, which made everyone feel a little at ease.

Because, this is the attitude you should have when talking about things.

After a lot of noise, Qu Sanye Qu Yong was introduced to everyone as a representative and asked Xu Changqing respectfully: "Marty, then, I wonder what kind of business is the normal tax rate of ten taxes and one special business?"

"Hehe. Mr. Qu asked this question well."

Xu Changqing smiled calmly, lit a cigar happily, and spit out a long mouthful of thick fog and said, "The so-called normal business is a business that everyone can see when they look up. For example, food, clothing, housing and transportation. For example, my traditional business in Ming Dynasty, tea, silk, and porcelain. All these businesses are normal business, only ten taxes and one per person. As for special business-"

Xu Changqing paused and glanced at everyone with a little fun: "That's a iron tool, a firearm, including population transactions, flesh transactions, and some businesses that everyone knows very well but never mentions on the table!"

"Fire, firearm?"

"Can the firearm be sold even if this is the firearm?"

As soon as Xu Changqing finished speaking, the venue was about to explode, and Qu Yong subconsciously exclaimed.

Xu Changqing laughed: "Mr. Qu, you don't have to panic. It's not just ordinary firearms, such as the standard equipment of my Model Army. As long as everyone thinks it is profitable and I have profits to make, I can just talk about it on the table."

"This, this..."

Everyone in the field was stunned, as if they were hit by five thunder, and they were in powerless.

How dare you think, how dare you think!

Xu Changqing actually threw such a terrifying bomb for them...
