What is the standard for a country's prosperity and strength? Is it to hide the wealth of the people and make the ordinary people of the world rich? Or will most of the wealth be collected in the national treasury by various means and redistributed under the will of the rulers? That's a big problem!

Since more than ten years ago, when the Han Dynasty first sent troops to conquer Southeast Vietnam, Yuan Zhao deliberately made the domestic people realize the power of commercial circulation.

It was the first time that Chang'an people had eaten all kinds of novel seafood products from the Hainan island countries, as well as those precious spices, treasures and ....... It was from that time that commerce within the territory of the Han Dynasty flourished rapidly.

The power of this group, no matter in any era, should not be underestimated. They were the most active of the four peoples, namely, scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. It would be unthinkable for a country to grow and flourish without this force.

After more than ten years of development, Yuan Zhao was very pleased to see that the development of the strength of the merchant group had exceeded his expectations. The prosperity of the world is half of their credit. In this process of development, he has been carefully guiding and cultivating, just to make them an important pillar of the dynasty building as they gradually grow. Impartiality and unleaning will not become an inflated force competing with the state for profit, let alone a capital controller of the way for ordinary people to make a living.

It may take a long time for a healthy world business system to be formed. And now it seems to be prosperous, but in fact, it is just the beginning. Like a child who has just learned to walk, if he is now asked to carry a knife to kill the enemy and contribute to the country, then this will be tantamount to ruthless strangulation!

Heavy taxation and a monopoly on salt and iron...... Such methods of enriching the country were a last resort resort when the dynastic military force had led to the emptiness of the treasury. And now, finally a national minister has officially mentioned it in the court, which is a dangerous signal.

No matter what kind of fierce struggle he will face, Yuan Zhao will never compromise, and the seedlings that he painstakingly wants to cultivate into towering trees will be broken alive. For this, he must fight against it at any cost!

Although Yuan Zhao has not officially entered the court to discuss politics, everything that happened in the Hanyuan Palace, starting from the attack on him by Liu Xuan, the great sect zheng, has been well known at any time. By the time the meeting was over, he had received all the complete information.

At that time, when he was holding the news transmitted from the palace and Hanyuan Hall in his hand, everyone around him who was very worried saw that the smile on Yuan Zhao's lips was very cold. Several disciples, who were already familiar with the master's expression, all looked at each other excitedly and rubbed their hands.

Obviously, the enemy's approach has successfully provoked the fighting spirit in Master's heart. After four years of silence, I finally want to see him again, and everyone is looking forward to it. As for the victory or defeat, these newborn calves led by Cui Hong never worried, all they wanted to learn was how the master made a wonderful move to destroy the enemy!

"The emperor did not make any decisions at the court. So, what is his attitude......? ”

Faced with the speculation in the hearts of countless people, Yuan Zhao did not give any explanation. Some words can only be subtle but not spoken, and some things need to be practiced rather than exaggerated. Since the emperor wants to see his ability to handle complicated affairs, then let him take a good look with his eyes wide in the Weiyang Palace! It is also good to dispel some of the foolish thoughts that he has been hooked upon, and prevent it from happening, which will make it more troublesome in the future.

"You guys, give it to the Nie family, the Xu family, and the Zhuo family who came to Chang'an...... All bring me a word...... As for how to choose, it is up to them to have their own guts. ”

After saying this, Yuan Zhao stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the brilliant sunset in the west, and did not look back at the few disciples who respectfully led the order. Some rights and interests still need to be fought for by themselves, and only those who have fought hard with courage will cherish them. Businessmen, a huge group with unlimited potential for the future, have given them opportunities by themselves, and it is up to them whether they can catch them or not.

Soon after, Yuan Zhao's words were brought to the people he wanted them to know.

"Work together, people will win the day"!

In just a few words, there is no weight at all when they come out of the mouth. However, when someone hears it in their ears, it is like spring thunder rolling by. The heart that had been hesitant for a long time suddenly calmed down, the fists in his hands were clenched tightly, and many people's eyes passed through the restaurants and shops where they lived, and over the towering buildings of Chang'an City, all of them turned in the same direction. That is the Han Weiyang Palace, where the "sky" is!

Someone once said that no matter ancient or modern, it should be a universal truth.

"It is only natural for businessmen to pursue profits. If you have three times the profit, then you can get up early and stay late regardless of the hard work. If you have more than ten times the profit, you can take risks and be bold. And if there are dozens or even hundreds of times the profit...... It is also common to sacrifice your life to kill people and go into battle shirtless! ”

In the near future, the Han Dynasty and its neighbors will be accessible in all directions, and the business strategy will circulate all over the world, so it will be a prosperous situation, which can be imagined. In a sense, a great change unseen in a thousand years is about to come, and in the hearts of these businessmen with a keen sense of smell, how to ride the wind and waves in this tide and lay a solid foundation for their century-old family plan is something that they are thinking about all the time.

How can such an opportunity be easily interrupted! Even if there is a sign of danger, the person they are most convinced of has already shown the way, so go for it! For the opportunity of a century-old family prosperity, why not fight this time? I heard that this proposal that threatens their own rights and interests was put forward by the Imperial Doctor, since Lord Zhang Tang wants to cut off people's wealth and prevent his family from eating, then let his family not eat first! Without the Zhang Mansion still knowing it, the eyes of many people in Chang'an City were already firmly fixed on their .......

The weather, which has been somewhat dry since the beginning of spring, is finally starting to get wet. The clouds over Chang'an slowly gathered, and the breath watcher looked at the deep sky and said, the heavy rain is coming, just waiting for the first sound of spring thunder!

At the same time, Liu Ju, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, hurried back to Jianzhang Palace from Bowangyuan. Since this year, he has been allowed by the emperor to follow the government in the court, so that he can learn the ability to handle state affairs in advance. It's just that he has other things to do today, so he didn't go to this should be a very ordinary court meeting. But I never thought that so many things would happen.

Dazong is uniting with the elders of the royal family to openly oppose the marriage of his sister Princess Suxi. Ting Wei said that Yuan Zhao had the intention of forming a party for personal gain. The Imperial Historian asked the emperor to decree that heavy taxes should be levied on the merchants, and that salt and iron should be recovered and a unified monopoly should be implemented. These three major events, which refer to the same spearhead, have all become the targets of attacks on Yuan Zhao.

The prince's footsteps were fast, showing his inner unpeace. A group of palace attendants followed anxiously, hurrying to avoid that something would happen. Liu Ju is eighteen years old this year, and he has already had a coming-of-age ceremony. His father, the Emperor, had been on the throne for three years at his age. But he is still the crown prince, and his main task is to study and study. It has been 12 years since he became the crown prince at the age of six!

The father was not only a majestic emperor, but also a stern father. The crown prince felt that as he grew older, his reverence for his father became more and more serious day by day. How long has it been since he's seen him smile as dotingly at himself as he did when he was a child? It seems like it's been a long, long time!

Whenever he studied in Bowangyuan, under the strict supervision of a group of knowledgeable people personally selected by the emperor for him, and listened to those obscure and profound truths, the crown prince Liu Ju secretly sometimes felt very frightened. He feared that he was not up to the burden of the crown prince of the country. Because, many of those great truths that are said to be "the way to be a king" are unexpectedly unacceptable to him.

The gaze, which carried too much attention and high expectations, already made him feel extremely heavy. Such troubles and anguish are not told in the palace. The prince would not tell his mother about his emotions, because he was afraid that she would be worried. I didn't dare to show a little in front of my father. The only person he could talk to was probably the one outside the palace, his only friend in the world.

Although so many years have passed since he was rescued by Yuan Zhao outside Chang'an City, the huge image of the killing god in the dark night dense forest where the fire is extinguished has been deeply engraved in his mind. That's a huge sense of dependency and security.

Whenever he had the opportunity to go to Changle Plateau or the Hou Mansion, the prince would always chatter and tell him the troubles that had accumulated for many days. And Yuan Zhao just smiled, often just a few words lightly could untie the knot in his heart. Liu Ju sometimes feels very surprised, he always feels that the other party's breezy eyes are as deep as the sea, and he has seen thousands of years of smoke and clouds.

If there is anyone in this world who wants to have a closer relationship with Yuan Zhao except for his sister Suxi, it is the crown prince Liu Ju. He had been extremely eager for a long, long time ago that Yuan Zhao and Sister Su Xi could become a couple. With this bond, then they really become a family.

It's already a good thing, but who knows that there will be trouble again! Thinking of the face of the bad old man Da Zongzheng he had seen, even with Liu Ju's good temper, he couldn't wait to step on the ground and kick his feet. Is...... It's so hateful!

When he was in such an emotion, he went to Jianzhang Palace to see Empress Wei, and it was obvious that the queen had already learned the news in Hanyuan Palace. It's just that after listening to his emperor's angry story, the dust of the years has not left many traces, and his face looks very calm.

"Ju'er, don't let your sister know about this matter first...... Perhaps, His Majesty wants Yuan Zhao to solve it himself. He wants to sit on the blessing of Qi people, and he is also the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty. Hehe! It should have been fought for by one's own ability...... It can be regarded as a test for him. ”

Empress Dahan said.
