Hearing Xun You's words for the first time, these young courtiers were still a little confused, Jia Xu on the side shook his head, anyway, he wasn't going to talk too much, just take care of himself, Xun You was different from him, and he told them a lot of things.

The Son of Heaven came, hundreds of officials paid homage, Wang Fu stood in the first place, and hundreds of officials gritted their teeth.

Looking at these angry courtiers, the Son of Heaven was also a little helpless, so he had to go through the process first, and only after the letter of the King of the Cooking Festival did he start the formal discussion of politics, and those young courtiers After Xun You's teaching, they also hurriedly followed behind many ministers, and there was no interesting thing like Jia Xu, and the Son of Heaven looked at these new faces seriously.

Today's government is also extremely complicated, but it can be clearly divided into two camps, one side is to ask the king to write a letter, headed by Yuan Feng, Yuan Feng, after a long period of training, his ability is getting stronger and stronger, not to mention that he is the only minister in the court who can impress the family and the poor family, and he has no selfish intentions, and the Son of Heaven is willing to reuse him.

The other party is Wang Fu, and he is the only one in this force.

Originally, there was a Wen Ren attack to support him, but since the assessment, the two have parted ways, and now they have become mortal enemies, every time he asks for a letter from the king, he is more diligent than Yuan Feng when he hears the attack, so that he almost has to take Yuan Feng's place and become the first person in the court to fight against traitors, and Taiwei Zhang Wen, he was also neutral, and did not crusade against Wang Fu.

But Wang Fu vetoed Zhang Wen's suggestion to attack the southwest, and scolded him, which made Zhang Wen also fall to the other side, similar to Jia Xu, Jia Xu was low-key, and he didn't dare to support Wang Fu alone, so he quietly became one of the people who opposed Wang Fu, and he moved extremely quickly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"

Wang Fu frowned and said: "First, it is the matter of playing cotton, the minister personally went to Liangzhou, the Western Regions and other places to explore, sure enough, the Western Regions and other places can be cultivated cotton, but the people are unwilling to farm... And cotton, there are three categories, the most, the whole body is white, like snow, the second, dark yellow, Liangzhou a few places, is so dark yellow, and finally is gray cotton, gray cotton is not suitable for textile..."

"The most suitable cotton in the Western Regions, many of which are finished products, are white cotton!"

"I suggest that the military tun guarding the Western Regions can cultivate cotton on a large scale for winter use, and in addition, let the people in Liangzhou carry out farming, and allow the merchants to transport the cotton to the surrounding areas to sell, so that with benefits, they can exchange for food, and the people will be willing to farm, as for the merchants, they can't be allowed to make huge profits and oppress the people affected by the disaster in the border area, and the court can set the price..."

After Wang Fu finished saying some of the things he was thinking, he heard Yuan Feng get up and said: "No, how can the temple compete with the people for profit and help each other, it is not a system!" ”

After he finished speaking, most of the ministers nodded in agreement, only when they heard the attack, they sat quietly, frowning, he seemed to get up at the moment to refute Wang Fu, scolded him, and even started directly, but his policy seems to be able to bring huge profits to the treasury, think about the fact that these merchants want to transport a large amount of cotton to various places, just the vehicle and ship taxes they pass through the canal and the gallop....

Wen Ren's heart was extremely entangled, and in the end, his concern for the treasury of the Han Dynasty still overcame his disgust for Wang Fu, he got up and said: "Your Majesty, You, and, Xin, He, Liang and other states of the people, the disaster has been affected for a long time, if cotton can suppress the disaster, let alone support the merchants, it is to let the minister personally transport these cotton to sell, the minister is willing!" ”

Listening to his righteous and awe-inspiring words, Baiguan thought in his heart, you can make money by selling cotton, of course you are willing!

Yuan Feng and others naturally thought that if merchants were allowed to sell, it would cause a high increase in cotton prices, which would make the border people unable to buy it, and the merchants would make a fortune, especially when there was a disaster, these merchants would not pay attention to the suffering of the people, but would only continue to raise prices, and even hide a large number of materials.

In addition, it is still necessary to let the cotton create profits and profits, so that the people will go to farming, otherwise, they will not plant these inedible crops, and the fierce dispute between the two sides, the final choice is still in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

"This matter is according to what Wang Jun said, but, Yuan Jun, you are responsible for supervising these businessmen, if anyone dares to make huge profits, the clan will be punished!" The Son of Heaven commanded, since the Son of Heaven had made a decision, the officials would no longer argue, nodded and kept it in mind.

"Your Majesty, another thing is about Yizhou... The minister went to the Western Regions this time, and found that the merchants of foreign countries prefer to eat tea, especially the tea in Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, which is greatly loved by these foreign businessmen.

"The tea man, on the other hand, is able to make it laxative...."

"Wang Fu!" Before he could finish speaking, a minister interrupted him angrily and said, "Wang Jiexin, how can you say such filthy words in the temple, before the Son of Heaven?" Your Majesty, please cook the King's Day letter! ”

"Shut up!" Hearing this, he looked at him and scolded angrily, raised his head again, looked at Wang Fu with blank eyes, and asked, "Wang... What does Jun mean is that they need tea very much? If you open the tea trade with foreign countries...."

"That's what I mean, if you make Yizhou grow tea on a large scale, and then transport it to Liangzhou, and then send the Han merchant to sell it to the outside world, in exchange for gold, slaves, salt and iron, and even cotton and other strange things that the Han Dynasty has never seen before..." There are so many strange things in the world! ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what Wang Jun said is extremely true! ”

"Previously, he opened foreign trade in Yangzhou, and every year he exchanged a large amount of gold and silver for the Han Dynasty, which was deposited in the treasury, and within three years, he was exchanged for nearly 100,000 slaves, and now he is used to develop Yangzhou, build new roads and buildings, in addition, Xing Ziang has also proposed many times that he wants to land in Yizhou, develop it, and then use this as a pick, open up overseas..."

"If we can make Liangzhou also become a commercial channel to the outside world, Liangzhou will definitely be as prosperous as Yangzhou, perhaps, even more prosperous, the business travel of the Han Dynasty can reach any place, in exchange for a large amount of materials and money..."

After hearing the attack, he solemnly bowed to the Son of Heaven, and then said, "Your Majesty, this matter." If it doesn't work out, please behead the king's day letter! ”

Wang Fu, who was listening carefully to his words, was suddenly stunned.

"Huh?"
