Seeing the people in the government leave, the merchants all blew up, and the scene just now made them remember it deeply.

"I really can't imagine that a prince of Da Zhou will speak for our merchants, if he becomes the king of Zhou, then our life will be better."

"That's right, I have a friend in Tianshui, such as today His Royal Highness is in power, he issued an order, all commercial taxes in the city will be reduced to thirty percent."

The other said.

"Thirty percent? How can it be? There has been no such law since ancient times? ”

Not a single person believed it.

"Not since ancient times? You don't see much! A month ago, I happened to pass by Tianshui and heard a lot of things, it is true that the commercial tax there is only 30%, but do you know how much the agricultural tax is? ”

"The commercial tax is thirty percent, so the agricultural tax is probably terrible, right?"

"It's terrible, it's terrible, I tell you, Tianshui's agricultural tax is 20%, and it will be levied after three years, and it will be completely exempt from tax within three years!"

"What? 20% agricultural tax? You are talking nonsense! ”

No one believed it.

"What nonsense? I saw it with my own eyes, and if you don't believe it, you might as well see it for yourself! ”

Liu Yuetian used a trick to seize Tianshui, this matter made a big fuss, but it was only among the princes of the Seven Directions, where would ordinary people care about these things? Even if it is a merchant, only those who are super-rich can get some news through the official, even if Tianshui's business account is spread by word of mouth, but after all, it is only a small range, but this time, Liu Yuetian and Tianshui's reputation has made a name for itself in the land of Dawu, and for a while many merchants are attracted by the preferential policy, and plan to go to investigate, if it is really as rumored, simply open a store there.

Zhou Yu and others took Liu Yuetian to board a huge building ship, and then set up a banquet to entertain them, accompanied by Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, that Dolgon is arrogant and domineering, you have hit his arrogance this time, it really makes me admire, I Li Jiancheng toast you with a glass of wine!"

Liu Yuetian relieved Li Jiancheng's anger, he was really happy in his heart.

Liu Yuetian had already seen through the other party's thoughts.

"This Li Jiancheng is still a big gap compared with his younger brother Li Shimin, but this person is kind-hearted, not like Li Shimin who will do anything for the end, but he can also make friends."

"Brother Li, I have heard of the reputation of King Tang when I was in Chang'an, he is the mainstay of my Great Zhou, and he has great kindness to my Great Zhou, you are the eldest son of King Tang, we naturally want to be more close, come, I have this cup."

Liu Yuetian picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Your Highness, Dolgon is the son of the Qing king, you humiliated him in public this time, this person must not be angry in his heart, the Qing Dynasty is a barbarian, there is no etiquette at all, you have to be very careful!"

Li Jiancheng said with concern.

"Built, don't worry, Your Highness is a great master of the Gangqi realm, this kind of master is only one of your Tang Dynasty, General Li Jing, I am afraid that there will be no more than five fingers in the martial arts."

Zhou Yu said on the side.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness is a great master in his own right, I almost forgot about it......... I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Liu Yuetian and couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart, if he had this ability, what would he be afraid of Li Shimin, and the throne of Tang King would be a certainty.

Now Zhou Yu is full of curiosity about Liu Yuetian.

A young county king who was demoted from Chang'an rose rapidly in a short period of time, and destroyed the Liu Yuan family that had been entrenched in Tianshui for many years with his backhand, Tianshui City was also stable under his governance, and everyone was loyal to him, and this time, the other party showed a shocking kung fu.

What the hell is going on?

Even Zhou Yu, who prides himself on having a last resort, feels a little pressure in the face of this young county king,

"By the way, Your Highness, I don't know if you came to my Dawu this time to play or have something to do?"

Zhou Yu poured a full bottle of wine for Liu Yuetian.

"I heard that the land of Wuyue has beautiful scenery, and there is a Confucian school known for loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, I can't help but yearn for it, and there is nothing wrong with Tianshui, so I came out for a walk."

Liu Yuetian said.

"Oh? Your Highness has also heard of Confucianism? ”

Zhou Yu said in surprise.

For example, there are some schools of thought today, such as Fan Ju, the prime minister of Daqin, is a legalist, Daqin can be said to be strict under the governance of Fan Ju, who dares to disobey, even members of the royal family will be punished, but the requirements of the Legalists to require the king to break the law and be guilty of the same crime as the common people are too harsh, and the other princes do not care.

Some doctrines of Confucianism have existed since ancient times, but they have not yet become a system, and later a great Confucian Dong Zhongshu appeared, he taught in the land of Wu Yue, and built a lot of Confucian teaching halls, many people were quite affected, but this doctrine has also been questioned by many people, that the doctrine is too weak, not the law of the male lord, and the doctrine is also quite a blow to the big family, but Wu Wang Sun Quan is highly respected, and the territory of Wu can only be implemented, but other princes sneer at Confucianism.

"Confucianism teaches people loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, although it is still biased, but it is undoubtedly good for others, and of course it must be promoted."

Liu Yuetian replied.

"That's right, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, this is the foundation of being a man, but now there are many disloyal, unfilial piety, unkind and unrighteous people in the world, it is rumored that His Royal Highness will reduce taxes after occupying Tianshui, and the agricultural tax will be directly reduced to two percent, I still don't believe it after hearing about it, and now it seems that this is true."

Zhou Yu appreciated.

"If the people are suffering so much today, I just do this to make them suffer less, by the way, Dadu, I have one more thing to do when I come to Dawu this time."

"Whatever, Your Highness just says, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

"I want to buy some pig iron, I don't know if Dawu has it!"

"Pig iron?"

Zhou Yu picked up the wine glass in front of him and was silent.

Iron ore is a strategic material, the day the Great Zhou was established to prohibit the sale of pig iron, even if it is the princes of all parties, it is also strictly prohibited, once found by the imperial court will be punished, but with the decline of the Great Zhou, this ban has existed in name only, the princes of the seven parties are seven independent countries, of which the salt and iron division is responsible for the sale of pig iron and salt, which is already a public matter.

"Your Royal Highness, if today, only Dashu and Daqin are full of iron, to tell you the truth, just ten days ago, Dashu transported millions of catties of pig iron, and now it is stationed at the ferry more than 100 miles away, guarded by thousands of Dashu soldiers, this time Li Gongzi came to buy this batch of pig iron, not only Datang, but also Dawei also sent people to come, it is my Dawu, and now I also sent people to go, you want pig iron......... If someone is willing to sell a thousand catties or ten thousand catties, no matter how much, I'm afraid it will be difficult! ”

Zhou Yu did not hide it, and directly informed Liu Yuetian of the truth.

"Well, the Governor is right, this pig iron can be used to make weapons and farm tools, it is indeed very important, I use this pig iron is naturally the same, first, the spring ploughing is coming soon, the people have no farm tools in their hands, I naturally want to help them, second, now that I have offended Daqin, I have to build some weapons for self-protection......... Oh, by the way, I have a group of blacksmiths in Tianshui City who are very powerful, and the weapons they create are very good, by the way, my guards use it, why don't you taste it for me with the Governor and Brother Li? ”

Without waiting for the two to answer, Liu Yuetian shouted Zhang Xingsan on the lower floor.

"Two of you, this is the blade we make in Tianshui!"

As soon as this knife came out, Zhou Yu and Li Jiancheng couldn't take their eyes off.

"The treasure blade is a blade that is sharper than the Shu weapon!"
