Fusu and Wang Zhanshi, the smiles that bloomed on their faces a moment ago directly solidified in this second......

The two of them looked at each other.

The two of them didn't understand what a good hammer meant, but Wang Zhanshi felt that this sentence was talking about him. And the latter sentence is simply stupid, it is Fusu.

Originally, I felt that my answer was very good, especially when I flattered Li Yang in the words, thinking that Li Yang would be very happy after hearing it, but the result was ...... but was scolded as a fool.

Fusu suddenly had a feeling of wanting to find a hole to drill into.

"Taifu ......" Fusu wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Yang pouted and said, "What, does Your Highness feel unconvinced?" ”

Fusu had the feeling of eating flies, so he had to say, "I still hope that Taifu will advise." ”

Li Yang said in an old-fashioned manner: "Now that I'm Daqin, the two million servants are about to be disbanded, why?" Isn't it because the treasury has no food? You actually said that at this time, the most urgent problem of my Daqin is actually tax reduction and light taxation, my God, if you go to your majesty to say this, believe it or not, where you come from, you will go back! ”

Wang Zhanshi on the side asked curiously, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Yang pouted: "Didn't Your Highness just come back from the frontier, then go back to the frontier again!" ”

"............" Fusu and Wang Zhanshi had a feeling of wanting to die.

Although Li Yang's words were not good, but what he said was really reasonable, and Fusu was speechless for a while.

Li Yang was also speechless, Fusu was really too benevolent. Now I finally understand why the emperor has not appointed him as the crown prince for a long time, if he is his emperor's father, then he will not dare to hand over Daqin to such a benevolent son.

It seems that it is not as easy as imagined to adjust this product.

Li Yang sighed, and had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, there is something to be done, and there is something to be done." This light tax is not possible at the moment. Let's not say that at present, my Great Qin treasury is so poor that I can't even afford to support the military and government, even if there is still surplus grain in the treasury, then I can't pay taxes lightly at this time, this tax is reduced, and the treasury is short of money and grain, so who will build the Great Wall, Lishan, and Afang Palace? Isn't this the project bidding policy that was just set today also abolished! ”

"............" Fusu was also dumbfounded when he heard it.

He didn't think of this at all, but now after listening to Li Yang's analysis, he realized that Li Yang said that he was stupid, and he really didn't wronged him.

At this moment, he himself felt stupid enough, even ten times more stupid than the light conscription strategy he had thought of before.

"Taifu's teachings, Fusu remembered, I didn't think it through, I was too ignorant." Fusu sighed, looking lost and remorseful. At this time, he had to admit that Li Yang looked at the problem more comprehensively than himself.

Although Wang Zhanshi was also scolded by Li Yang as a hammer before, he was convinced at this time.

Li Yang comforted: "Don't be discouraged, Your Highness is just thinking about problems, and they are all based on benevolent government, so everything is inconsistent with the current situation of Great Qin, and governing the country should be based on profit." ”

"Profit as a starting point?" Fusu was stunned.

You must know that the former teacher Chun Yuyue, but he often taught him that governing the country should be based on benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, and he despised the most profit.

Li is a villain, for himself, selfishness, and affection!

However, Li Yang told him that the word profit should be the first thing to govern the country, which shocked Fusu.

When Li Yang saw this stupid and surprised look, he knew that this product was not lightly poisoned by Chun Yuyue, so he had to say: "Does Your Highness want to say that profit is a villain's behavior, how can it be used to govern the country?" ”

Fusu nodded hurriedly.

Li Yang really wanted to spank him directly, rolled his eyes and said: "Your Highness, you must remember that Confucian benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are virtues, how can these virtues be used to govern the country?" Profit, if it is used to describe morality, it can naturally be said to be a villain, but the profit is divided into small profits, and those who are selfish interests of individuals are small profits. But the benefits are also divided into great benefits, and this is the interest of the country. To govern the country is to think about the interests of the country everywhere, and the interests of the country will not be harmed, is this also the act of a villain? Isn't this kind of good character a noble character for the country and the people? ”

"This ............" Fusu was speechless again when he heard it.

This sharp word, as soon as it came out of Li Yang's mouth, it was really different.

For the benefit of a country, where is this still a villain's behavior, this is clearly righteousness and justice.

Fusu had a feeling that his mind was distorted, completely subverting his previous cognition.

Obviously, you think that Li Nai is a villain, but after Li Yang said it, you are not only powerless to refute, but also make you feel that what he said is really fucking reasonable.

Li Yang continued: "From now on, I hope that Your Highness will remember that you must not use that noble character to govern the country, and the word profit should be used to govern the country!" ”

Fusu was completely subverted by this guy's previous cognition today, so he had to nod at the moment: "Taifu's teachings, students remember!" ”

Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Let me tell you the truth, not only can you not reduce taxes at the moment, but you have to find a way to make money." ”

"Make money?" Fusu was stunned again.

He really felt that his IQ was rubbed under his feet all day today.

Either you don't understand it, or you can't keep up with the rhythm.

For the first time, he felt that his heart was so tired!

"Yes, although it will not be long before all the two million servants' union will be disbanded, this year's tax will not be paid until after the autumn harvest. Therefore, during this period, the biggest problem for Daqin at the moment is that he is poor, so poor that he can't even afford the military and government. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yang looked at Fusu and said, "If Your Highness wants to relieve Daqin's worries, then find a way to make money!" ”

"Huh? Let me earn ...... Make hay! Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then stopped: "But...... This...... I won't! And...... Isn't that what businessmen do? ”

Li Yang said: "You're right, I just want you to learn to be a mercenary businessman." ”

Fusu fainted directly!

It's unreasonable, even if you are a master, you can't call it like this, you actually asked me to learn to be a mercenary businessman......

I'm the eldest son of the Qin Kingdom!

This is also fortunate that Fusu is deeply poisoned by Confucianism, and it is disrespectful to contradict the teacher in his heart, otherwise he would have to jump up and scold people at this time!

At this time, Wang Zhanshi on the side even wanted to say, it's not right for you to teach like this.

Fusu dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to say helplessly: "Taifu, this businessman makes money...... I really don't. ”

Li Yang frowned without frowning, and said lightly: "Don't worry, the minister will teach you!" ”

"............" Fusu was speechless, and his heart was like ashes.

Li Yang didn't care whether he wanted it or not, and said directly: "The minister will tell you a way to make money now, called papermaking." ”

"Papermaking?"

Fusu had a question mark on his face again.

Li Yang sighed: "Paper, but it is a good thing, as thin as silk, it can replace bamboo slips for writing and recording." What's more, the popularization of papermaking technology, its cost is very low, and it can even be much lower than the cost of bamboo slips, which is extremely conducive to the spread of culture and knowledge, in short, its benefits are beyond your imagination. Just imagine, if you come up with this kind of good thing, you will naturally be able to amaze Your Majesty, and if you use it to bring a lot of income to the treasury, it will be a great achievement, and Your Majesty will not boast of you. ”

When Fusu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was also overjoyed, this time he was really interested.

The oracle bones and bamboo slips are relatively bulky, for example, the father and the emperor have to read a whole car just to read the chapters a day; Although silk silk is lightweight, it is very expensive and not suitable for writing.

If there is really a kind of silk that is cheaper than silk and lighter than oracle bones and bamboo slips, then his father will definitely praise him. This is something that Fusu has always dreamed of fulfilling, because he has never been praised and recognized by his father, and all he has always received is denial and reprimand.

Thinking of this, Fusu hurriedly asked, "Taifu knows how to make this kind of thing called paper?" ”

Li Yang nodded: "Of course, but His Royal Highness still needs to ask General He Zhang for help." Now that the people are poor, this money can only be earned from the hands of the local tyrants and gentry, and this paper, once invented, should be able to make a fortune. ”

Li Yang thought very clearly, the poor could not solve the problem of food and clothing, and naturally it was impossible to use paper. The local tyrants and gentry were different, they had money and knowledge, and once paper was invented, they would naturally use it to replace bulky bamboo slips.

What's more, when the rich and the gentry were accustomed to using paper, then paper-making technology could be popularized, making paper a really cheap thing, and then going to the homes of ordinary people.

At that time, with the popularization of paper, culture and knowledge can naturally be disseminated, and when the people can easily learn knowledge, there will be a certain soil for the imperial examination in the future.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Yang knew that if he wanted to make paper, he couldn't do without the help of the Shaofu, so he immediately sent Wang Zhanshi to call General He Zhang, who was the Shaofu.

It will be a young house, not only in charge of civil construction, but also in charge of the manufacture of various instruments, weapons, handicrafts, and even textiles.

It can be said that in all walks of life in the Qin State, almost all the craftsmen of the highest level are working as Shaofu.

Therefore, Li Yang had already planned to let Fusu and He Zhang, who would be the Shaofu, go to make paper together, and the paper was made, and then let the Ba family be the general agent of the country and be responsible for sales, so that it was perfect.
