A few of the scholars who came to denounce it were quite well-off, but when it came to going to Shen Xingkai's hot pot city to eat a satisfying meal, it would hurt to be satisfied, not to mention most of the poor students, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enjoy it once a year.

At this time, when they heard what Shen Xing said, they looked at the team of men and women in novel clothes running around, or the service personnel mentioned by the Shen family's propaganda, quickly spreading the tables, chairs, pots and pans all over the river, and then the fragrant hot pot soup base was placed in front of their eyes, and there were also sky-high melons, fruits and vegetables also put on the table, not to mention all kinds of dazzling mountain and sea delicacies, not to mention, it was just a sight to see everyone's eyes.

Ate a winter of meat pickles...... The eyes of the readers turned green when they saw this scene, and even if Shen Xing, the host, had not yet spoken, he had already moved his footsteps with the uncontrollable glutton. "Everyone, please come to the table, the food and drinks are enough!" After Shen Xing finished speaking, he crossed Hou Fangyu and issued an invitation. The two of them looked embarrassed, but they still sat down at the wine table with the crowd.

"Young Master Shen, it's too deliberate to invite people's hearts like this, do you think you can ...... by setting up a banquet?"

"Brother Mao, Young Master Shen has good intentions to invite, but I am disrespectful, how can I invite people to buy people's hearts with just some food, can you be so shallow in the knowledge of people who have read poetry and books, if your heart is to the sage, I am afraid that the coarse tea and light rice will be sweet!" As soon as Hou Fangyu's words fell, many guys who were about to start eating with chopsticks hurriedly stopped, resisting the temptation and feeling ashamed.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xing was still smiling, unmoved, "Brother Hou, what you said is very true, Brother Mao misunderstood Shen, he has always been greedy and fun, but I think it is more interesting for the big guy to talk about things while eating and drinking, you must not be too restrained, the people take food as the sky, Sage Kong, his old man is afraid to praise a few words when he meets hot pot!" Haha......"

Shen Xing laughed at himself, and the atmosphere at the dinner table eased in a blink of an eye, but what Shen Xing didn't expect was that the enemy's offensive had just begun.

"Young Master Shen, open-minded, eclectic, such good wine and good food, how can I feel bored! But then again, I don't know what Young Master Shen thinks about the people in Jiangnan vying to be industrial and commercial businessmen and giving up pastoral farming! ”

As soon as this person's words came out, everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and quietly waited for Shen Xing's answer, especially Hou Fangyu and Mao Bijiang showed a hint of a smile to each other intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were just waiting for Shen Xing to make a fool of himself and fall into the ground.

This brother must have been concerned about the toiling masses when he asked this, but the brother had personally visited the farmers who farmed, and whose land did they give up cultivating? Or how much do they get from a year's hard work? Most of the farmers gave up their employers' fields with high rents to work in the city to earn monthly money, and Xing felt that there was nothing wrong with it! ”

"Even if the employer's land is allowed to be wasted, isn't it also my Ming Ming's grain that will be reduced? Agriculture is the foundation of the country, the people are more food for the sky, in the long run, what do the people of the Ming Dynasty eat, and what money and grain does the Ming treasury have! Young Master Shen vigorously advocates commercial workshops in the interests of his family, isn't it a suspicion of harming the country and the people! ”

"Brother Zhao, what you said is good, it will hurt the country in the long run!" Under the encouragement of Mao Bijiang's grandson, the people present suddenly became a little excited, and asked Shen Xing to give an explanation, Shen Xing still smiled, drank the wine in the cup unhurriedly, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down again.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, Brother Zhao's words are very reasonable, even Shen suddenly felt that he was the culprit of bringing disaster to the country and the people, but have you ever thought that it is really as Brother Zhao said, wouldn't the tens of millions of people in Jiangnan have long been hungry and mourning, why is it that what Xing saw was a thriving scene of living and working in peace and contentment, shouldn't the truth be understood more deeply?"

Everyone was asked by Shen Xing like this, and they suddenly became dumb, and they wanted to refute it, but they didn't know where to start for a while. "The emptiness of the treasury has long been an indisputable fact! Why did Young Master Shen turn a blind eye! Mao Bijiang said angrily.

"What does Brother Mao mean, is the emptiness of the treasury caused by me Shen Xing? But Xing has only been doing business in Jiangnan for a year and a half, how to explain the fact that the treasury cannot make ends meet in previous years, what Xing wants to tell you is that the treasury is tax, and the important thing is not the development of agricultural business, but the process of collection. In the past, those who had meritorious names were exempt from taxation, but if you think about how many people deposited land in order to evade taxes, and how many people colluded with officials to avoid commercial taxes...... The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is like this, but why are you staring at Shen alone! ”

"The commercial tax is one out of ten, and those who have meritorious people and doctors are exempt from taxes, this is determined by Taizu, don't you want to change it!"

"Nope. No, Xing Yijie businessman, how could he oppose Taizu's wise decision, just put things out to make it clear, and I also want to tell you that the development of commerce is not to hinder agriculture, but to increase the country's comprehensive taxation, you should also know that Shen alone paid 1,500 taels of tax and silver to the imperial court in the first half of the year. ”

The scene was silent again, fifteen million taels of silver, I feel terrible when I think about it, rich and rival the country, the sixteen-year-old young master in front of me deserves such an evaluation.

"Isn't the land of the landlord and the scholar uncultivated! Is there no solution? You can't also give it to the people like Young Master Shen, you must know that not everyone is as rich as Young Master Shen! ”

Hearing this question, Shen Xing couldn't help clapping his hands. "Good question, this is also the next question that Shen wants to say, that is, the market economy in business! It is also a problem that can solve the problem that has plagued everyone for a long time! ”

"What is a market economy, unheard of since ancient times!"

"Market economy, I didn't expect my husband to be so powerful, and he can also create his own words!" Yin Ling couldn't help but applaud, and the red lady looked at Shen Xing's eloquent appearance with a proud face.

"That's my sister. I didn't scare you just now, eh, sometimes I can't control myself when I'm pregnant, I'm anxious, obviously both are happy, why are you talking about face, that is, you people who drop the book bag are troublesome, and the husband is soft-hearted, especially in the girl's affairs, he is verbose! It's also very chaotic, but today I have to make a move, do you know how much the Shen family's face still needs to be! ”

Liu Ru listened quietly and nodded, "Sister, let's ......" Li Xiangjun looked at the crowd on the wine table, tears kept falling again, and the red lady held her hands and patted her gently.

"Xiangjun, my husband has long been in love with you, as for your affairs, he is also clear, the scholar surnamed Hou has been in love with you for more than half a year, but there has been half a letter to explain his mind to you, and a stupid girl like you will miss him, my sister is a person who has come over, and I know what kind of man is worth entrusting for life, that is, the man who can shelter you from the wind and rain? Why did the husband force you, it's not that he wants to justify your name! This gossip full of Nanjing City is about to swallow you, you know no! ”

Dong Xiaowan gratefully took out a handkerchief to wipe away Li Xiangjun's tears, and then nodded heavily at him to express her approval of the red lady's words. "Madam, in fact, I also know that Shen Gongzi is a good person, but it is difficult to ...... for a while But the slave will be a good person of the Shen family! Rest assured! ”

The red lady smiled after hearing this, and then beckoned to the big and small tricks and said a few words, and the two got into the tent, and after a while, they took out three beautifully decorated handbags and put them in Liu Ru is hands one by one.

"Sister, these are all designed by my husband himself, there are lipsticks, masks, eyebrow pencils...... Anyway, it's a lot? Li Xiangjun was stunned at first, and then refused in fear, Liu Ru and Dong Xiaowan were the same, "The two girls entered the Shen Mansion first, how can they be called Sister Xiangjun, Xiangjun can't afford it, and we ...... such valuable items"

The size of the flower is very simple, where do you think so much, I don't know what to do when the three girls say this, and I look at the red lady in a daze.

"Take it, it's not a valuable thing, they all have it, and the Shen Mansion doesn't have such a big rule that everything is called by age, this is set by the husband, how old are the two little girls, do you still want to call them sisters!" After the red lady finished speaking, she laughed.
