Mrs. Rebirth

Chapter 79

Jiang Che looked at the young man who frowned when he saw him, his eyes were a bit quiet, and he asked with a smile: "What are you two talking about? It's better to have fun alone than to have fun with others, can I have fun too? "

Zuo Shaoqing frowned deeply, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not an actor!"

Jiang Che listened to these words, and felt that this young man was very interesting. When he met at the book store that day, he had someone check his background on a whim. He did not expect that this handsome young man was actually Changping Jieyuan, so he immediately let him know. Someone sent the post to your door.

He just stood on a high place and looked around, but he still didn't see him. He thought he wasn't here, but he didn't expect him to be hiding in such a cramped corner.

He couldn't see through this young man, the two had no intersection at all, but the other party showed guard and disgust when he saw him for the first time, and it stands to reason that a kid at this age shouldn't like to show off the most ?

As everyone's eyes came together, Zuo Shaoyan also saw this younger brother who had suddenly changed his sex. He thoughtfully looked at Zuo Shaoqing who didn't pay attention to Jiang Che at all. He always felt that he was a little strange like this. .

He thought he was accurate in judging people, but he felt more and more that this younger brother was hiding something deeply. When did he change?Is it after he Jieyuan in high school?

If this is the case, it is also understandable that Zuo Shaoqing probably thinks that he will definitely be able to pass high school, so he is confident.

Zuo Shaoyan's eyes darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes.

He Zhicheng faced Jiang Che calmly, faced the scrutiny of the students calmly, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Shilang misunderstood, the student just hit it off with Zuo Xiandi, so I just said a few more words."

Everyone present knew that Jiang Che was the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and it was related to their future. Not only could they not offend them, but they should also try to curry favor with them. Of course, He Zhicheng also understood this point.

He didn't know why Zuo Shaoqing rejected Jiang Che so much, but for the future of the two of them, he didn't mind doing some superficial tricks.

So, next, everyone saw Jiang Che and the middle-aged student having questions and answers, while another handsome young man stood beside him with his head bowed, his expression blank.

"Just now I heard the two of you mentioned Borneo, why don't you use the topic of 'overseas commerce' today and have a debate?" Jiang Che suggested loudly.

Naturally, no one objected.

Everyone knows that the first policy of the new emperor after he ascended the throne was to cancel the sea ban and expand overseas trade. At that time, this decree was debated for a long time before it was finalized.

Someone was the first to stand up and said: "The imperial government's encouragement of overseas trade is really a grand move. Although the merchants are cheap, the money they earn can increase the tax revenue of various places, fill the national treasury, and relieve the suffering of the people from hunger."

Some people also expressed concern about this, "The war in northern Xinjiang has just calmed down, and the army is exhausted. If the sea ban is lifted at this time, it will inevitably lead to rampant water bandits along the coast. Overseas countries are staring at each other. I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the country and the people."

"Brother Guangsheng's words are wrong!" Another student stood up excitedly and retorted: "Bei Di has surrendered to our dynasty, and the troubles in the north have been eliminated. Now it is time to actively develop farming and commerce. With the Lord Zhen Guo here, why not?" Afraid of small sugar pill countries overseas?"

When Zuo Shaoqing heard someone mention Lu Zheng, he couldn't help but take a second look at the scholar.

"Although Duke Zhen is known as the God of War, he is only good at fighting on land. Who can guarantee that Duke Zhen will still be invincible when he reaches the sea? What's more, the Dayang Navy is weak. Once the sea ban is lifted, military expenditures will inevitably increase. Whether earning money can fill this gap is unknown."

What he said was reasonable, and many students nodded their heads. For them, those who go to sea to do business are businessmen, and those who make money are also businessmen, and the status of businessmen is decreasing, and they are not willing to make friends, so naturally they don't care about this matter.

Conversely, once the sea ban is lifted, there will be more dangers, the lives of the people along the coast will be threatened, and the probability of accidents will also increase greatly.

Jiang Che had been listening attentively, and everyone nodded with a smile on their faces after speaking, neither expressing opinions nor paritying a bit.

He walked up to Jiang Hengzhou and asked modestly, "I don't know what Jiang Jieyuan thinks?"

Jiang Hengzhou stepped forward generously, and first bowed to everyone. He is still young, tall and straight, with a handsome face and firm eyes. He is the most popular handsome man nowadays.

As soon as the word "Jiang Jieyuan" was mentioned, I am afraid that no one would know Jiang Hengzhou's identity, so everyone held their breath and listened carefully, "As we all know, the first emperor ordered the ban on the sea because of the invasion of Beidi in the north and overseas countries in the south." He was harassed frequently and couldn't take care of both sides for a while, so he made this decision.

Now Beidi has bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, paying tribute every year. Except for the [-] troops stationed in northern Xinjiang, the rest of the soldiers have returned in triumph. How to arrange these victorious warriors? "

Everyone was pensive, and Jiang Hengzhou smiled confidently, "Some people think that they can retire from the army and return to farming, and return to the fields, which can save military pay for the court and increase food production. Hoes, a complete waste of their talents.

Lifting the sea ban and encouraging foreign trade will not only enrich the merchants and fill the national treasury, but also accommodate these soldiers who have retreated from the north. As long as they are trained a little, they will surely be able to defend our central coast. "

"Papa!" Jiang Che was the first to applaud, and praised: "Jiang Jieyuan is indeed worthy of being a scholar Yin's disciple, well said!"

Seeing that the students present were suddenly enlightened, some lowered their heads in thought, and some still disagreed, Jiang Che turned around and faced Zuo Shaoqing, "I wonder if Zuo Jieyuan has a good opinion?"

Many people stared at Zuo Shaoqing in surprise, they didn't expect that this tender-looking and submissive young man was also Xie Yuan, and his surname was Zuo, so he must be from Changping County.

Everyone was waiting to see Zuo Shaoqing's jokes. In their eyes, it was a miracle for a boy of this age to be the first in the provincial examination. Could it be that he was expected to know how to govern the country?

Zuo Shaoqing couldn't avoid it, and he didn't want to avoid it. He walked out step by step under the scorching gaze of everyone. Every time he took a step, people's breathing became tighter.

When he walked to the center of the arena, all the students couldn't believe their eyes. Is this still the boy who just stood there dumbfounded without saying a word?

Zuo Shaoqing raised his chin slightly, bowed to everyone, and then said: "Jiang Jieyuan is right..."

Someone couldn't help but sneer.

Zuo Shaoqing completely ignored it, and said to himself: "But I just think that the reason why His Majesty made this policy is not entirely to accommodate the soldiers who retreated from the north. Every year, the tax revenue contributed by maritime merchants accounts for [-]% of the national treasury. In the past, the emperor had no choice but to ban the sea and concentrate on fighting against Beidi. After more than ten years of fighting, I won the victory, but the annual consumption of food, grass and military pay is insignificant. Counting, the treasury may have been emptied long ago.”

The crowd was in an uproar, and some even retorted indignantly: "You mere brat, what evidence do you have to prove that the treasury is empty?"

Zuo Shaoqing smiled slightly and winked at the man, "Of course I guessed."

Ignoring everyone's contemptuous gazes, Zuo Shaoqing went on to say: "Nowadays the world is peaceful, one or two years is enough to fill up the national treasury, and when the people are rich, there will be a lot of food and supplies, how to deal with these things?

It's a pity to throw away food that can't be eaten up. Not only is it easy to breed corruption, but it will also make the people not productive, because it is imperative to lift the sea ban and encourage overseas trade.

As Brother Jiang said, in this way, not only can those brave soldiers be better accommodated, but also tax revenue can be increased everywhere. "

Zuo Shaoqing scanned the audience and positioned the realization on one person, "This brother is worried about the rampant invasion of pirates and foreign invasion after the lifting of the ban?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, Zuo Shaoqing laughed and shook his head: "I am a majestic Dazhong , the country is rich and the people are strong, so why are you afraid of those ghosts? Brother, why do you want to raise the ambitions of others and destroy your own prestige?"

"You..." The student named Xu Guangsheng blushed, he didn't dare to say any more discouraged words, otherwise it would be heard by the Beijing officials, and his reputation of cowardice and cowardice would be confirmed.

Jiang Che looked at Zuo Shaoqing with bright eyes, but Zuo Shaoqing looked uncomfortable with deep eyes.

He bowed to everyone, returned to his seat and sat down, but he drank the wine glass that He Zhicheng handed over in one gulp.

"Brother Zuo Xian is so eloquent, I really feel ashamed to be a brother!"

"Brother He won the award, everyone understands the truth, it's just that each has its own advantages and disadvantages and it's hard to choose."

Jiang Che's gaze followed Zuo Shaoqing for a while, he thought that Jiang Hengzhou's insights were thoughtful enough, but he didn't expect this young boy to be even better.

He and the emperor also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of overseas trade for a long time after lifting the sea ban, and finally decided that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If there are really small countries with no eyesight to harass them, they will not be afraid at all.

It's just that the establishment of this navy is imperative.

He greeted everyone with a smile: "It's all Jiang's fault, such a beautiful day, when reciting poems is right, drinking and eating meat is interesting, come, let me toast everyone!"
