Xie Jin is quite aware of a dog-headed military advisor. When he woke up and returned from the court, he immediately asked about what he was discussing today.

After Fang Xing said it briefly, Xie Jin pondered: "Hu Guang thinks you can educate me, do you understand?"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Can you save it?"

Xie Jin laughed and said, "Why do you have to be so mean? Hu Guang is trying to see if you can return to the Confucian school. Even if it doesn't work, you can test your ideas about doing things and prepare for future struggles."

Fang Xing sneered: "I just do things from a fair standpoint, and Hu Guang is also good, but how many officials in the court are like him? Most of them are guys who are either me or enemies, and the prototype of the clique comes from this!"

"And what is their purpose of joining together?"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "It's just for the sake of profit, so a gentleman doesn't talk about profit, but just a fig leaf. When the official grows, his family will naturally develop, which is much easier to make than a businessman."

Xie Jin was silent, Fang Xing narrowed his eyes and said, "What a bullshit dispute over interests? Xu Qing should deliver the goods in the next few days. I will let them know how to make profits!"

Xie Jin was shocked and advised: "Dehua, don't do anything shocking. Your Majesty has a bad temper."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Jie, you see that I seem to be extraordinary, but in Your Majesty's eyes, I am true in nature, and I am thinking about the Ming Dynasty everywhere, so it seems dangerous and safe."

Fang Xing then talked about Yang Tiantian, and Xie Jin sighed: "It is difficult to study, but it is more difficult than to go to the sky. Those who are determined to do this should use this as encouragement and strive for progress."

After lunch, Fang Shiyi was recalled to Fangjiazhuang. After Fang Xing explained it, he called a group of students from the academy to help.

When the students were puzzled by the high account book, Fang Xing said, "You have been studying for a long time. Let's verify today. The account book here is the first-class revenue since its opening. Please check if there is any error."

After the students were stunned, they started to calculate.

Xie Jin asked, "Dehua, what are you going to do?"

As the source of wealth for the Fang family, the revenue should be secret, but Fang Xing took the initiative to reveal the family’s assets today. Is this crazy?

Fang Xing smiled and said, "It's just a restaurant. I have some plans, it's a try."

Xie Jin knew that this guy’s plan was never simple, so he asked in a low voice: “What are the plans?”

Fang Xing shook his head and smiled, "This matter is closely related to Fang Xue. I just have a preliminary idea, and I will talk about it later after exploring it."

With a lot of people and great power, the account book was quickly calculated, and Fang Xing asked them to cross-examination again.

Xie Jin felt more and more that Fang Xing was going to make a big move. He asked, but Fang Xing firmly said that there was no answer for the time being.

After the account book was calculated, Fang Xing said, "I have told you about the category of luxury goods. After reading this account book, do you think the number one can be classified as luxury goods?"

The students looked at each other in a little, and finally Ma Su replied: "Teacher, the unit price of the first fresh dishes is too high, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. It can indeed be classified as luxury goods."

Fang Xinghan nodded with a smile: "That's true, so do you think the luxury goods industry will contribute to the Ming Dynasty?"

Gao Jingyan stood up and said, "Master, my disciples think that the consumption of luxury goods is for the rich or the powerful industry, and it is of no benefit to the country and the people, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Fang Xing seemed in a very good mood, and Xie Jin and Xiucai Tian also smiled, feeling that his disciples were looking at the problem thoroughly.

Gao Jingyan frowned and said, "Captain, unless they give the people good..."

"It's paying tax!"

Fang Xing was overjoyed when he heard this voice. He followed the sound and found that it was Li Ermao, so he said, "Ermao tells you in detail."

Li Ermao had already taken off his cramped aura when he first came, and he stood up and said, "The mountain leader, the consumption of luxury goods is concentrated on the rich and the powerful, and has nothing to do with the people. If you let it go, it will only become a small circle and will not benefit the Ming Dynasty."

Fang Xing nodded with relief, pressed his hands to signal Gao Jingyan and Li Ermao to sit down, and then said: "Luxury is a symbol of privilege. It has existed since ancient times. To this day, luxury goods are actually synonymous with wealth, and these wealth and honor are above and there is no benefit to the country and the people."

Xie Jin was a little frightened when he heard this. He always felt that Fang Xing wanted to use his ultimate move, and it was a headache-inducing move.

But Fang Xing's words made the students excited. These students who have systematically learned about the relationship between the state and taxation have something to say.

"Master, my disciple believes that I, Ming Dynasty, should impose commercial taxes. As you said before, taxation is a good way to rob the rich and help the poor, and it is also a means to fill the national treasury. It should not be abandoned!"

"Yes, most businessmen did make money by themselves, but the Ming Dynasty should be a comprehensive and coordinated country. The court should have the obligation to coordinate the relationship between the rich and the poor, and should not let it go, otherwise this is a contradiction and will turn into Mars over time."

"Disciple believes that after satisfying food and clothing, there are excess merchants who should collect taxes."

"The merchant has no country. If he resists taxes, he can blame him heavily!"

“…”

Listening to the students' opinions, Fang Xing asked Xie Jin: "Mr. Xie, how do you feel?"

Deviant!

This was Xie Jin's first reaction, but then he felt that the students were right. Taxation was indeed a means to enrich the treasury and adjust the gap between the rich and the poor.

"A spark can start a prairie fire, and the Ming Dynasty should prevent problems before it happens."

Xie Jin sighed for a long time, and his back bent down. He said bitterly: "Dehua, do you really want to remove the firewood from the pot? But have you ever thought that this will make you an enemy of the powerful!"

Fang Xing smiled slightly, not afraid: "Mr. Jie, which is more important, the people or the powerful? Which one is better?"

Xie Jin understood Fang Xing’s meaning: water can carry a boat or overturn it.

No matter how powerful a powerful person is, he can only show his true form before the wave that swept the world.

Oh! It turns out that you are also human beings! And they are timid and shameless guys than ordinary people!

Xie Jin said solemnly: "Dehua, be careful!"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "I know."

How could he not know that the reformers in history have no good ending.

Starting from Shang Yang, it is a blessing to count those reformers who can save their lives.

but……

Fang Xing touched the pistol on his waist, and there was a little murderous aura in his eyes.

My biggest reliance has never been Zhu Zhanji, Jubaoshanwei, and not Zhu Di!

Fang Xing brought a general account book and entered the city under the escort of his servants and headed straight to the Ministry of Revenue.

After Fang Xing took the salt merchants in Yangzhou City in one fell swoop, Xia Yuanji felt that he was too happy. The remaining money in his hand finally made him relax. He even wanted to suggest that Zhu Di add some salary to all officials, at least to support the family.

"Xinghe Bo is here, sit down."

Facing his benefactor, Xia Yuanji was extremely enthusiastic.

After Fang Xing sat down, he threw the account book on the table and said something that made Xia Yuanji frightened.
