"The establishment of the country to business, throughout the history of the Song Dynasty, only today. Looking at Dongzhou, there are only a few among the countries. Except for my Song Kingdom, the rest have been crushed into piles of old papers in the torrent of history, not to mention the descendants of the royal family, even the ruins of the old country, and there is no trace. At one time, these states were rich in business, rich in state, and even in a hundred years. How? All gone. None of them have remained until now. My Song Kingdom is rich now, is it comparable to the Zeng Kingdom in ancient times when a copper coin won the chaos of the Sixteen Kingdoms? My Song Kingdom is now peaceful, and it is comparable to the Qi Domain, which has 99 classrooms in ancient times? Is my Song Guowen comparable to the Jin Empire? Can Wu be able to defeat the 5,000 Xuanwu Army of the Jun Empire? Affluence has brought you great wealth, but what has it brought to me Song Guoxunmin? Here are some figures, and I would like to ask you to hear them: since the beginning of January this year, the tax has risen to 60 per cent of the whole country. The population has dropped to 300,000 households three years ago, or 1.5 million based on five people per household. So three years ago, the number of households was 370,000, a decrease of 350,000. Taxes have increased by 20%. According to the account books of the merchants, the total amount of taxes paid three years ago was 370 million yuan, or 5.55 billion yuan. Now it is 450 million jun, a total of 6.75 billion jun. When you listen to this amount, do you feel that the tax income is more than before, and you see that the amount is a lot more. But this is the profit of hundreds of thousands of merchants in my Song Kingdom. With the current taxation, it will not take ten years, and in the Song Kingdom, which was founded by commerce, I am afraid that there will be no businessmen willing to continue to be businessmen. As you know, there are now many people from other states who are courting the merchants of our Song Kingdom, and are willing to give them a place for the temple, a place to go to the sea, a place to worship, a house for the house, and a place to live in peace. Just an hour ago, the young hall master of Baiguotang took more than 120 of his family to Lincheng with goods and materials. This is still the current situation in Lin'an City. I don't know how many of the servants are left in the estates, but there are far fewer of the small traders who walk in the countryside, because the cost is increasing. Taxes are high, and in the end it is the people who are poor, and as for our lord, I am afraid that it will take a dozen or so female officials to lift up when he is already fat. The man on the stage was as fat as a pig, his skin was covered with blood, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and his hiss was exhausted.

"Do you understand?" Lord Hong's smile was still the same, and he even had the leisure to ask Chao Gong and Yuan Mou Liang beside him.

Yuan Mouliang shook his head: "Hey, Lao Tzu has never asked about military supplies, the number is very troublesome, and I can't figure it out." ”

"I don't understand." Chao Gong tilted his head.

"Where's Mo Yun?" Hong Xuchou's face did not change, and he crossed Yuan Mou Liang and asked Mo Yun.

Mo Yun thought for a while and asked, "This person looks like a pig, what is he doing?" ”

Hong Xuchou laughed, and the laughter startled the pig-like man on the stage, and even his words stopped for a moment.

In Mo Xiaoyou's words, this person is a slave trader. Whoever says what is the foundation of the people is the foundation of the country, and what he says is to laugh and be generous. The most elaborate number of all aspects of the Song State was the Shang Mansion, and then there was this Sima Wu. If you don't believe it, you can ask Xu Buyan, Sima Wu is one of the people pushed to the front desk by His Royal Highness. Hong Xuchou shook his head and sighed, "If the Song Kingdom is governed by these cats and dogs, I really don't know what the Nine Prisons in the world should look like. ”

"Lord Hong is noble. Sima Wu is the scum of the slave traders, and there is still life to survive. You drove Xunmin out of the Song Kingdom, but you were careless of people's lives. Xu Buyan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his contempt was all in words.

"It's better to live than to die, it's better to die." Hong Xuchou's head was raised slightly.

"And then the armament. I, Song Guo, have always adhered to the meaning of double benefit. Only a small amount of armament for law and order and border defense is reserved, and the rest is included in the cargo. If my memory is not bad, 25 years ago, the Song State made a covenant with other countries, and there was a regulation on not increasing armaments. May I ask, Lord Hong, why did your Highness the Lord of the Kingdom spend tens of millions of dollars on the armaments from Lang Pavilion recently, and what is this intended to do? ”

Hong Xuchou clapped his hands and smiled: "Sima Wu's memory is really good, and he knows all kinds of numbers in the Song Kingdom. Today, he actually has the courage to stand on this stage and question the national policy, and he is so bold that he dares to be a slave trader. So, in my capacity as a prime minister, I want to ask you something. ”

Hong Xuchou stood up suddenly, and then sat down suddenly, Chao Gong and Yuan Mou Liang were surprised.

Hong Xuchou closed his eyes tightly and took a few breaths: "I'm too fat, it's always easy to get dizzy when I'm in a hurry to get up, and I'm dizzy in front of my eyes." ”

A few servant-like people from behind rushed forward and slowly helped Hong Xuchou up.

This move made Mo Yun smile again and again.

Sima Wu suddenly heard Hong Xuchou's words of inquiry, and was so frightened that he could only hold on to the table so as not to collapse to the ground, and grinned forcefully: "Lord Hong, we are discussing business theory, and openly accusing me of being alone, I am afraid that it will violate the concept of 'Song Detention Discussion'." ”

Hong Xuchou said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, if you want to arrest you, when you spend all these years in the mansions of Fu Town, Rin Town, Liao Town, Yan Town, Jiu Town, Yun Town, and Mo Town, you will have already been arrested and dismantled in prison." Don't be afraid, I'll ask. ”

Every time Hong Xuchou said a place name, Sima Wu's face turned pale.

"After all, today is the 'Song Detention Discussion', how can I use the things you forcibly kidnapped Xu Yingnu, Fu Linji, and Wang Xiangfei to talk about it." Hong Xuchou continued.

The name of every woman he said drew a change of color from a man in the podium.

Sima Wu couldn't wait to pestle his head into the ground, regretting coming today.

"Sima Wu, if you don't speak, I'll answer you. So I want to ask, if the business road is cut off and people are blocked, what do you do for business? ”

Sima Wu took a deep breath, knowing that he had to fight against Hong Xuchou no matter what he did today: "Of course, it's a hired dart." ”

Hong Xuchou nodded: "What if, in the future, the Song army will escort you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience shook.

"You must know that what you say today, once executed, will break the covenant and attract other nations to conquer. You will be the only one who will go out and atone for your sins. One of the patriarchs stood up with an excited expression.

Sima Wu kept saying that in ten years, the country would not be a country, with high taxes and low profits. That's because the main scope of our Song Kingdom's current commerce is the place where the Zhuzhan Plain is separated from the Jin Empire and the Jun Empire. We purchased weapons in order to establish our own bodyguard team in the future, to maintain the safety of the merchants of our Song Kingdom, and not to be troubled and oppressed by the dart bureau because of the wealth. As for the ...... of the conquest, Hong Xuchou laughed and said to Yuan Mouliang beside him: "Sect Leader Yuan, you go up and talk about how we can protect the business of our country, so as to expand the scope of business of merchants and ensure the reasonableness of their interests." ”

Yuan Mou Liang muttered: "How can I know. However, he still stepped forward, picked up Sima Wu first, and threw it to the side, like throwing a puddle of mud.

Mo Yun looked at Hong Xuchou's face with a smile all the time, and felt that this person must be very tired at night, and his face was trembling all the time.

His ears moved, and when he heard Wen Feng behind him, he asked Xu Buyan, "Why is Lord Hong answering those people?" Speaking of which, I don't quite understand what kind of former highness you are, what kind of people are you looking for. The one in front stammered and couldn't speak, but this one was slipping, and it fell quickly, so it's not as good as the one in front. ”

Xu Buyan laughed a few times: "'Song Detention Discussion' is just a discussion, and it does not represent a real resolution. Hong Xuchou must bow down to everything, and naturally he has great power in the Song Kingdom, so it is no problem to call him 'Standing Monarch'. ”

The voice of this last sentence was slightly louder, and Hong Xuchou's voice sounded in front: "If I am 'Standing Monarch', then your former Highness is the 'Dead Monarch', a misbreed who can't even keep the throne, it's better to die." It's better to die than to live, and he has to die a hundred times before he can be applauded. ”

Xu Buyan snorted coldly.

Yuan Mou's voice opened up: "Lao Tzu has to say that the Song State has money, and Lao Tzu recognizes it." But the army, really not. Let's just say that those fat people on your border defense line can't hold out for a breath on the battlefield. What did I do when I came up, I just wanted to tell you old things about two things—"

Hong Xuchou lowered his head and snored after a while.

"First, Fang Wuyuan's Non-Return Killing God defeated the coalition of the Eight Kingdoms and One Army led by the Qin State more than a month ago, and there was Lao Tzu's [Tiance Army] under it. Half a month ago, the Jin Empire's gang of guys who reacted slowly like shit sent 20,000 troops to Fang Wuyuan, preparing to assist the Min State in eliminating the Killing God. ”

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. Second—"

Yuan Mou cleared his throat and chilled the entire hall with a sneer:

"The 20,000 troops of the Jun Empire went to Gyeongju to prepare to suppress the rebels over there, and another 30,000 troops sent Xingtu to suppress the Xingtu rebellion."

"What does this have to do with us?" Someone asked.

Hong Xuchou sighed, stood up and smiled and said to that person: "Yan Guijun, where is the foundation of the Song Kingdom?" ”

"Shang!"

"The foundation of business is in the people, where is the foundation of the people?"

"Grain."

"Then may I ask, what if the troops transferred by the Jin Empire and the Jun Empire are all from the front line of the Zhuzhan Plain?"

Some people were shocked, and some people didn't understand it.

Chao Gong looked around, couldn't stop his desire to speak, and walked around to Mo Yun's side from behind Hong Xuchou: "The Song Kingdom is based on business, and there is a lot of money, and there must be a lot of food to be purchased, so——"

"With the wealth of the Song Kingdom, what country in the world do you say doesn't want to share our piece of the pie?" Hong continued.

"Ge Laozi, Lord Hong, you talk too much nonsense, Lao Tzu will tell you in one sentence - Zhuzhan Plain is headed by the Wash Country, and gathers ten states to crusade against the Song State and divide the wealth of the Song State." Yuan Mou Liang looked at the explosion of the entire venue very proudly.

"The Ten Nations Alliance, this vote has been a big deal." Mo Yun was surprised.

"Yes, tens of millions of Jun coins are spent, but it is not easy to say this matter in the 'Song Detention Discussion'." Hong Xuchou looked down at Chao Gong and Mo Yun and said.

Mo Yun frowned and asked, "You mean, someone will stand on the side of the Ten Nations Alliance?" ”

"Where are the most enemies?" Hong Xuchou pointed to the sky and the ground, with a smile on his cold face, clenching his teeth, looking at the shock and horror that the venue exploded.

He replied:

"Here."
