Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

All night.

Early the next morning, while Lin Feng was sleeping soundly in bed, Lu Qiuya's voice suddenly came, "Husband, you have to go to court today. It's time to get up and have breakfast, otherwise you will be late."

Speaking of going to the morning court, Lin Feng suddenly sat up from the bed. There was no way that no one in the Dayan Dynasty dared to be late for the morning court, even Lin Feng did not dare to try it.

As soon as Lin Feng put on his clothes and walked out of the room, a sudden burst of cold air hit him, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. At this moment, a thick piece of clothing was draped over him from behind.

"Husband, the weather suddenly changed today. It's extremely cold in the morning. Wear more clothes and don't get cold."

Lin Feng felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, madam, it's great to have you here!"

Lu Qiuya smiled sweetly, "Why are you thanking me? You are my husband. Isn't it right for a wife to take care of her husband?"

Lin Feng nodded, took Lu Qiuya's hand and walked to the living room. As soon as they arrived in the front yard, they saw Uncle Fu and Sister Wu working with a few maids.

"Uncle Fu and Mrs. Wu, what are you doing this early in the morning?"

"Master, you are up so early. We are making pickles. It is already the beginning of winter. Pick some pickles and we will have vegetables to eat in the winter."

"Uncle Fu, I have to go to court today. Is breakfast ready?"

"Don't worry, young master, breakfast has been prepared long ago. Chuntao, go to the kitchen and deliver the young master and young lady's breakfast to the living room."

"Yes, Uncle Fu!"

Chuntao gave him a polite gift, turned around and left quickly.

Time passed so fast, and it was winter before I knew it. Winter in Fengyang City was very cold. Lin Feng couldn't help but think of the essentials for winter in northern China - heating and vegetable greenhouses.

Dayan's conditions were limited, and it was not practical to lay heating pipes. However, Lin Feng had coal, so there was no problem in getting a floor heating.

Lin Feng has successfully made glass, so building a vegetable greenhouse is no problem.

As soon as Lin Feng and Lu Qiuya walked into the living room, they saw Lin San and four friends having breakfast.

Seeing Lin Feng, Li Heng was very curious, "Boss, why did you get up so early today? Is there something important?"

Lin Feng nodded, "I'll give you a very important task. Clean up the backyard for me as quickly as possible. I want to plant things."

"Boss, it's already the beginning of winter, and I can't plant anything even after I finish it. Why don't we wait until spring next year to do it!" Zhang Sheng said.

"Just do it if you let me. Where does all this nonsense come from? If I haven't finished it when I get home next morning, see how I deal with you."

"Don't worry, boss, we promise to get it done before you come back." Li Heng said.

"Hehehehe! Boss, what are you going to plant in the backyard? Can you tell me in advance?" Song Yuandao said.

"I plan to grow some vegetables and fruits in the backyard."

"Vegetables and fruits? Boss, it's already the beginning of winter and we can no longer grow vegetables and fruits. You don't even know this, do you?"

Lin Feng's answer simply overturned the views of Lin San and his four bad friends. Even Lu Qiuya was puzzled by Lin Feng's words about growing vegetables in winter.

"Husband, can you really grow vegetables and fruits in winter?"

Lin Feng smiled, "Of course, I just want to grow vegetables and fruits in winter. As for how to grow them, I will tell you after I go to court. The task of the four of you is to sort out the land in the back garden for me first. .”

"Yes, boss! We promise to complete the mission."

Several people present had witnessed Lin Feng's magical method with their own eyes. They all believed in Lin Feng's words. Everyone was very excited at the thought of being able to eat fresh vegetables and fruits in winter.

Royal Palace.

Chaozheng Palace.

Lin Feng stood in the last row of the civil service queue as usual.

"Your Majesty is coming to court!"

Sun He's voice suddenly sounded in the main hall, and Huangfu successfully walked directly to the dragon throne from the side entrance.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

"Everyone is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Gongcheng looked at the civil and military officials in the palace, and slowly said: "My dear friends, there are two very important things to discuss in the imperial court today. The first one is that I plan to visit Fengyang City in the name of the imperial court. Open Dayan Bank."

As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng finished speaking, Zuoqiu, the Minister of Rites, immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, opening a bank is a matter for merchants. This move by the court is suspected of competing with the people for profit. Your Majesty, please think twice."

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Huangfu Gongcheng wanted to open Dayan Bank, which was obviously aimed at the four major families. As soon as Zuoqiu said this, the four representatives of the four major families in the court, Xiao Zheng, Lu Chang, Su Ming, and Shangguan Yunhe, immediately stood up Come out and support Zuoqiu.

The reason why the four major families are the four major families is because the four major families control the four largest banks in Dayan. The bank notes of the four major banks pass through the seventy-two states of Dayan. This is the foundation for the four major families to establish themselves in Dayan. .

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zuo is wrong. The sale of salt and iron is also a matter for merchants. However, the imperial court exclusively sells salt and iron. This has been the case in all dynasties. I agree with the establishment of Dayan Bank." Liu Qindao, the Minister of Household Affairs.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Three pavilion elders were the first to stand up to support Liu Qin, and then all civil and military officials also stood up to express their support for the establishment of Dayan Bank.

Huangfu Gongcheng knew that people from the four major families would stand up to oppose, but their power in the court was still too weak and they could not compete with the cabinet.

"Since some of you dear friends are in favor and others are against it, let's vote openly according to the old rules! Those who are in favor of opening a bank, please raise your hands."

After Huangfu finished speaking, all the civil and military officials raised their right hands in unison.

It was an open secret that Huangfu wanted to suppress the four major families, and the civil and military officials naturally knew what to choose.

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded with great satisfaction, "If you are opposed to opening a bank, please raise your hands."

Representatives of the four major families in the court, Xiao Zheng, Lu Chang, Su Ming, Shangguan Yunhe, and those civil and military ministers who opposed the opening of banks also raised their right hands.

"Thirty-seven to fifteen, the minority obeys the majority, and the matter of opening Dayan Bank has been decided. Cabinet Councilor Lin Feng, and the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Hu Xin."

Lin Feng and Hu Xin immediately came out and said, "I'm here!"

"I will leave the matter of opening Dayan Bank to you."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Huangfu nodded, "Next, let's continue to discuss the second matter. Dayan is an official in agriculture, industry and commerce. Businessmen have the lowest status. But no matter how low the status of a businessman is, they are still my people in Dayan. Farmers have to pay taxes for farming. Businessmen have the lowest status. Naturally, you have to pay taxes when doing business, so I have to collect business taxes."

"After the implementation of the policy of levying commercial taxes, merchants will have the same social status as farmers and workers, and can participate in imperial examinations and serve as officials."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Farming, industry and commerce are the laws of our ancestors. How can we benefit our ancestors by making such rash changes?" Zuoqiu, the Minister of Rites, was the first to object.

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Zuo said is absolutely true. Merchants buying low, selling high, speculating, not producing, are detrimental to the country. Even if they pay business taxes, they cannot participate in the imperial examination. Your Majesty, please think twice." said Xia Yuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Master Xia, what you said is wrong. Although merchants are not engaged in production, their operations speed up the circulation of goods. Without merchants, we might not even be able to eat rice. Furthermore, merchants pay commercial taxes, which is beneficial to the court and to the country. Those who benefit should enjoy the rights they deserve." Dai Qian, the imperial censor said.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Academician Meng Xianli and General Cheng Wuwei were the first to stand up to support Dai Qian, and then all civil and military officials also expressed their support, including the four major families.
