The official road of the farmer

After Ye Junshu and the others submitted the articles of association together, the matter will not be under their control for the time being.

They have already given the solution. Whether it can be implemented to reduce the burden on the court and increase the revenue of the treasury is something that the court and Wu Shangshu need to worry about.

They just need to care about progress.

Ye Junshu felt that if the method they thought of was carried out step by step and the court paid enough attention, it would definitely be implemented.

Relying on his good memory, he silently wrote a copy of the final charter and showed it to Li Yu.

Li Yu concentrated on watching from beginning to end, while Ye Junshu looked at Li Yu with his chin on one side.

It is said that serious people are the best-looking, Ye Junshu thinks it makes sense.

He felt that Ah Yu lowered his head slightly and watched intently. That side face was really pretty. He just looked at it so innocently, without feeling the passage of time at all.

After Li Yu put down a thick stack of papers, he said to Ye Junshu, "If the business tax is regulated according to this, the imperial court will be the biggest beneficiary..."

Li Yu gave great affirmation. Before the reform was handed over to Emperor Tai'an, he would definitely move his heart and even want to promote the implementation of this commercial tax law.

Li Yu expressed his opinion, but got no response, so he turned his head to look at Ye Junshu suspiciously.

I saw Ye Junshu resting his chin in both hands, staring straight at him with a bewildered smile on his face, looking... quite silly.

Li Yu reached out and touched him, pulling back Ye Junshu's sense of wandering into the sky, "Zizhou?"

Ye Junshu sat up straight quickly, and instantly regained his stability and maturity. He smiled, "Ah Yu, tell me, and I'm listening."

Li Yu paused suspiciously, and then continued: "However, there is one most important question, whether this new commercial tax law can be implemented." No matter what the reform is, it will always touch the reform of some people, and these people are A powerful and stubborn force, if they stick together, it is likely to shake the foundation.

Ye Junshu nodded, "I know." If you can't take the first step, everything is useless.

Of course Ye Junshu knew how difficult this matter was.

However, there are always people who want to do this kind of thing. Instead of standing still, it is better to try your best.

He thinks that boiling frogs in warm water is a good way.

Ye Junshu flipped through more than a dozen pages and took out one, "What do you think of this?"

Li Yu looked again.

Ye Junshu said: "How about starting from here?"

Li Yu looked at Ye Junshu and motioned him to continue talking.

"I do business with a small partner in the village. He is now engaged in maritime commerce, and the profits are huge enough to make people envious. But we also know that our army can only deter Xiaoxiao in the border waters, and the people farther away Places that cannot be reached by the army. I heard that I have published novels. There are many countries farther overseas. A piece of our porcelain is priceless in their country. Go to sea once and earn money. The huge wealth is enough to support three generations."

However, the greater the benefits, the higher the risks.

Not to mention that if there is a storm or other natural disasters in the boundless sea, in all likelihood, there will be no return, and there will be man-made disasters.

In places where the imperial army can't get involved, monsters and ghosts are rampant, and pirates are haunted. Basically, those who go to the far sea and come back are very lucky.

But people die for money, and birds die for food.

When the profit reaches more than [-]%, it is enough to make people crazy.

Therefore, knowing that it is dangerous to go to sea, there are still countless businessmen who are desperate to take advantage of the one-ten-thousandth possibility.

"The imperial army provides safe shelter for the caravans and collects a certain amount of profits. I think more caravans are willing to take risks at sea. This is a win-win situation. Moreover, we are not competing with the people for profit."

They charge what they deserve.Moreover, on the surface, the imperial court does not involve in business and competes with the people for profit, but just as their officials let their family members or their subordinates open shops and buy and sell fields and manors, the imperial court can also privately let cronies go to sea with caravans to do business.

It is a profiteering industry. If the royal family really tastes the sweetness, if they are not used to promote it, they will naturally not let go of the fat in their mouths.

And most importantly, maybe the army of the imperial court can discover the new continent and expand the territory for the imperial court.

There are risks, but the rewards are exciting enough.

If you start from here, you will never be blocked.

Those old aristocratic families may actively support them, and then privately send cronies to follow the caravan to obtain greater benefits for their families.

Of course, the big head still has to be earned by the court.

When those veteran families tasted the sweet and greasy candy, they were reluctant to let go.

The imperial court came again to promote the implementation of the new commercial tax law.

At that time, the imperial court was already rich, with a strong military strength and a strong economic foundation. Naturally, it was full of confidence and was not afraid of any turmoil.

Moreover, the cannibalism is short-sighted. When the interests of the aristocratic clans mostly come from overseas, naturally they will not be too embarrassing for the court.

This is a gradual process. It may not work in ten years, but in 20 or 30 years, the big summer at that time will have a brand new attitude.

Li Yu listened to Ye Junshu's analysis layer by layer, his eyes lit up, he grabbed Ye Junshu's hand suddenly, and sincerely praised, "Zizhou, your idea is very good."

Ye Junshu was so praised that his face became hot. The knowledge in his mind was a world larger than that of people in this era. Naturally, what he thought was not limited to this square inch of the world, and he saw farther.

Li Yu originally wanted Ye Junshu to enter the palace with him and tell Emperor Tai'an these things, but he thought about it. Sooner or later, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs would propose the new commercial tax law. If he brought Ye Junshu in like this, Wu Shangshu would inevitably worry , and said, "I'll go into the palace."

Anyway, he and Ye Junshu were no different, he memorized everything Zizhou said, and he could completely paraphrase it.

Seeing that Li Yu couldn't wait, Ye Junshu didn't hold back much.

****

In the afternoon, the weather was gloomy, and the gloomy weather accumulated for most of the day, making people feel that even breathing felt dull.

In the evening, it began to rain in Shangjing, and by the time Ye Junshu was on duty, the rain had changed from drizzle to torrential rain.

When it was spring, Ye Junshu prepared rain gear in the office because of frequent showers, but he was not trapped by the rain.

But when Ye Junshu returned to the mansion, the hem of the official uniform was already wet and sticky.

He twisted the hem of his clothes at the door.

Ye Chen has been waiting at the gate of the mansion, and when she sees Ye Junshu, she rushes up to meet him.

"Master, the old man is here!"

Ye Chen called someone, and said hastily.

Mrs. and Mrs. Ye Chen were servants bought by Ye Junshu in Shangjing, and they had never met the young master's mentor, but the young masters in the family were very familiar with that gentleman with a good temperament, and their attitudes were very affectionate.

Mrs. Ye Chen knew that that gentleman's mentor was undoubtedly.

old sir?Ye Junshu didn't realize for a moment who Ye Chen was talking about.

Ye Junshu quickly thought of a possibility, "Is it my teacher?"

Ye Chen nodded quickly, "Yes."

Ye Junshu was pleasantly surprised in an instant. He handed the rain gear to Mrs. Ye Chen, and walked in quickly.

The teacher actually came!

The last time he wrote to him, he told about his marriage and invited the teacher to be his elder, but the teacher never replied.

Ye Junshu was still very disappointed, remembering what the teacher said he would never set foot in Shangjing again, and he was unwilling to be with him when he came to Shangjing to catch the exam.

He thought the teacher wouldn't come, but he didn't expect to give him such a big surprise.

Ye Junshu hurriedly ran to the study room, and when he reached the door, he heard the twins' childish chatter and cute laughter.

Ye Junshu slowed down, knocked on the door, and heard a familiar steady voice from inside, "Come in."

What a nostalgic sound.

Jun Ye walked in with a smile on his face.

He saw that Zhuo Xianzhi was sitting on the seat, holding Ye Junwei in his arms, a piece of paper was spread out on the table, and he was teaching Ye Junwei to write big characters with a brush.

Brother Jing on the side stepped on a small stool, put his feet on his feet and stretched out his chubby hands, grinding seriously, and there were some black ink on his chubby little face.

Seeing Ye Junshu come in, the twins shouted obediently, and then came out one after another.

Ye Junshu patted the heads of the two, and said to Ye Jun, "Take my brother out to wash his face."

Ye Jun nodded like a little adult, "Okay." Then he led Brother Jing, "Teacher, let's go out first!"

Zhuo Xianzhi nodded kindly.

The two children jumped and ran out holding hands.

There were only two people left in the study, Ye Junshu bowed deeply, and shouted excitedly, "Teacher, you are here!"

I haven't seen him for many years, Zhuo Xianzhi's appearance is still the same as in memory, without changing at all.

On the contrary, Ye Junshu, the childishness on his face has completely faded, and he has become a mature father.

Zhuo Xianzhi looked at Ye Junshu carefully, and nodded in satisfaction.

After he came, he had already learned about Ye Junshu's living conditions from his servants.

Compared with the few words in the letter that only report good news but not bad news, how can we get a glimpse of it.

But since he's here, there's no rush.

He saw that Ye Junshu was in such a hurry to see him that he didn't even have time to change out of his official uniform.

Zhuo Xianzhi said in a warm voice, "Go and change your clothes first." There is still a lot of time to catch up on the past, so there is no rush.

Ye Junshu looked down at himself. Indeed, wearing half-wet clothes was not comfortable, so he excused himself and hurried back to his room to change into regular clothes.

Back in the study again, before Ye Junshu had time to speak, Zhuo Xianzhi slammed his mouth and said, "Zizhou! The reunion of master and apprentice is such a big happy event, shouldn't we drink and celebrate?" , It’s been a long time since I had a drink to my heart’s content, I really miss the time when I had a drink to my heart’s content.

"Is there any good wine in the house? Let's serve twenty or thirty altars first, and let us master and apprentice have a few sips first."

Ye Junshu: "..."

happy event?He suddenly felt that it was not a happy event at all.
