Chapter 166: Sheep and Horses Are Fat
Le Lang confessed: "It is true that the imperial court did not have new copper coins, and the Great Song Dynasty did not discover new gold and silver mines. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Su Shi thought he had admitted it, and said with a relaxed smile: "Since the opponent debater admits our point of view, please return to the topic of this debate." It's just that after going around for so long, I'm afraid that the opponent's debater has forgotten, and we don't hesitate to remind the opponent again that the topic of this debate is 'whether the price rise is good for the people', and your side's view is 'the price rise is good for the people'. β
This was said wittily, and the debaters on the opposing side, even Wang Anshi, who was not smiling, couldn't help laughing.
Su Shi saw that the atmosphere was lively, and his mood was relaxed, so he added a witty remark: "It's funny, when the second debater on the other side answered our question, it was never "carrying a bamboo pole in the alley - going straight and going", but beating around the bush, is this a tactic of 'knocking on the side'?"
At this moment, even Chen Yu and Gu Weiye, who were on the opposite side, laughed.
Those who didn't laugh on the field were left with Sima Guang, Chai Jue and Le Lang.
Sima Guang only snorted coldly, and continued to stare at Hanmei in the corner of the wall.
Although Chai Jue didn't like the arrogance of "Le Lin", she was also embarrassed by "her" at this time.
Only Le Lang looked the same.
"The character of the second debater on the opposite side is straightforward, so it's no wonder that he can draw conclusions without thinking. β
Hearing this, Su Shi only felt that Le Lang was just a fierce inward-looking, moving his mouth to get back a tail lottery.
"Debater, you still don't want to ......"
He smiled and was about to retort, but as soon as he was halfway through the words, he met Le Lang's gaze.
The light in his eyes, which had been uneventful, suddenly became shining.
Su Shi shuddered in his heart.
That's - the beast's gaze on its prey!
Pitfall?
Pitfall!
Le Lang replied: "I said, the court of the 'Great Song Dynasty' did not have new copper coins, and the 'Great Song Dynasty' did not discover new gold and silver mines. β
The word "Da Song", Le Lang used an accent to pronounce, as if he was afraid that the other party would not hear the point.
Great Song?
Don't......
Su Shi was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, it was Sheng Yuhui, the third debater on the opposite side, who reacted first: "Even the neighboring Liao Kingdom and Western Xia have never heard of coinage. Debater, please get back to the point. β
"It is true that the Liao State and the Western Xia have not minted coins in recent years. β
Le Lang nodded, and before Sheng Yuhui could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued: "Probably the two of you don't know very well, this year's wind and rain are smooth, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia are rich in water and grass, and the sheep and horses are fat. β
"Debater, please get back to the point. β
Sheng Yuhui repeated again.
Le Lang was not interrupted by him, and said calmly: "This year, the four fields of Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Ansu Army, and Guangxin Army in the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the new city of Liaoguo, have sold sheep, horses, furs and medicinal materials several times more than in previous years. β
ζ¦·, interpreted as a patent, monopoly meaning.
It is a mutual market set up by the Liao, Song and Western Xia countries at the border in ancient times.
Trade in the field is strictly controlled by the government, and the government has priority over trade. It is under the jurisdiction of the superintendent and the governor of the state army in the area where it is located, and there is another special officer to inspect the goods and collect commercial taxes. The commercial tax of the mutual market was a large amount of fiscal revenue for the imperial court.
After that, Le Lang looked at Sima Guang beside him and asked, "Master Sima, but that's the case?"
Sima Guang was stunned, this is indeed the case. But this is also a confidential matter within the imperial court, how did Le Lang know about it?
But that's not the point at the moment.
When the lightning flashed, what he thought of was a terrible thing.
"You're talking about ......"
Sima Guang looked at Le Lang in disbelief.
