"In all dynasties, the imperial court concerned the income of the city, the prohibition of salt and iron, etc., but the real staple food of the state was agriculture and the farmer, who provided the main tax revenue, and the farmer bore the main labor. The first emperor was bent on implementing the 'Da Suo Maung Yue' system, with the aim of getting more farmers out of the clan so that the imperial court could collect taxes directly from them. ”

Yang Guang continued to talk about these old things, and Yang Er naturally knew about these things. Although there was a lot of resistance from the big families when Da Suo Maung was reading, the effect was also quite significant, not to mention taxes or anything, just the number of people counted has reached the highest value in history.

"Most of the tenant farmers attached to these clans were originally prisoners of war, and many were farmers who could not afford to repay the loan sharks." Yang Er nodded.

"The general situation of a farmer in the countryside is that his family has more than a dozen acres of land and seven or eight people; They raised their own land and chickens, provided for themselves, and then used the surplus produce to go to the market to buy some necessities such as salt and iron, and they had little money left. However, once we encounter a famine year, happy events, birth, old age, sickness and death, etc., the lack of open source or a significant increase in expenditure, we have to rely on debt to get by. ”

Yang Guang spoke eloquently, but he was obviously talking about history. Today, the farmers of the Great Sui Dynasty can get 40 acres of land for every adult man, and 20 acres for women. But Yang Er obviously didn't know these things, but this didn't hinder his brain supplement, isn't this the life of the farmers?

"Of course, they could not borrow money from the farmers around them, but they had no choice but to borrow money from the landlords. However, the landlords lend usury, which is more than 10 times higher than the interest rate of the current money bank, and the peasants are busy working for a year, and they can often only repay the newly increased interest. Even if it is useless because of the good year, because if he collects an extra three or five stones, the price of grain will fall, and he still can't pay it. Yang Guang said that at this point, his voice has become cold, he understands these people's feelings, but he can't change it, because there are many resistances.

"Of course, farmers who can't afford to repay their debts can only pay off their wives and daughters and even themselves to the landlords, so the family is getting bigger and bigger, and after these families grow stronger, they naturally have the ability to subvert the imperial court." Yang Er followed Yang Guang's train of thought, and couldn't help but think of Wang Xie in the old days, and naturally recognized the danger of usury, and he was even overjoyed that he had opened the Dongdu Money Village by mistake.

"There is another situation, that is, the incident was exposed, and Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty all originated from this cause." After Yang Guang said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said slowly, "The whole world is not the king's land, this is the legal basis for the people of the world to pay taxes." If it is said that the merchant opened a money bank to compete with the court for profit, then the essence of land annexation is that the gate lord competes with the court for profit, do you think I will let those succeed? ”

"The father's lofty theories made the sons and daughters seem to be the first to drink; For Xia Gao's support, Erchen should make a concerted effort. Yang Er hurriedly expressed his position, and only then did he have some understanding of his father's suppression of the Guanlong nobles.

Yang Er still did not agree with Yang Guang's Han nationalism, and it was rumored that he even wanted to provoke a war with the Turks in order to eliminate the government soldiers controlled by the Guanlong nobles in the north; It is also rumored that in order to suppress those Northern Qi Yimin in Shandong, he even launched a campaign against Goryeo......

Yang Er shook his head, he hoped that the rumors were just rumors.

Su You also shook his head at this time, and his heart was more about speculation about Yang Guang.

After nearly ten days of vigorous publicity, Xia Gao's Qijun Qian Zhuang finally held a grand opening ceremony yesterday, and the first batch of funds injected into the Qian Zhuang can see its strength, so it easily ranked among the top three in the Dongdu Qian Zhuang industry; Coupled with Yang Er's personal visit to Daohe, the prestige of this Qi County Qian Zhuang quickly soared. ――This is the first time Yang Er has appeared in public in the past half a month.

The check issued by Qijun Qianzhuang was naturally recognized by the imperial court, and this unexpected surprise made Su You shake his head, but he was speculating in his heart, "What does Yang Guang think?" ”

Su You has been busy with many big and small things recently, but fortunately, he is now on the right track; For the work in the coming period, he also sorted out the clues, obviously, the next qiē only needs to be done step by step.

Su You was staying in a private room with Lai Yanbei in Zuiyue Tower at this time, but Lai Yanbei did not take off the yarn, but just stood by Su You's side, pinching his back from time to time, and asked in a low voice, "Will the Fusang envoy come?" Half of the incense has passed the appointed time. ”

"Ono is also my apprentice no matter what he says, recruiting for the teacher, and if he doesn't come, he will be spanked." Su You shook the pale red Sanle pulp in the cup, his expression was freehand, but he was also apprehensive in his heart, Fusang people were different from ordinary people after all, and Su You even doubted whether they knew what courtesy, righteousness and shame were.

As soon as Su You finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside, and after a while, he saw Ono girl appear at the door of the private room, and the lineup of guards behind him was really a bit pretentious. However, Su You couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he saw his face, which had just been bandaged for two days and was now a little swollen like a pig's head.

Did Qiao Lingze's gang go too hard? If Ono is asked to sue the relevant departments about this, don't pull yourself out in the end. However, as soon as he thought of the imperial court's attitude towards the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom in front of him, Su You's worry immediately swallowed into his stomach.

Although peace is the diplomatic principle of the two countries, Su You's heart is full of pride that the people of a great country should have for some biases in the Japanese country. Compared with the civilized era in later generations when the Japanese people lost a self-confident car in the country and affected the nerves of the people of the whole country, and compared with the chaotic era in later generations when the Japanese people actually launched the Lugou Bridge Incident under the pretext of "embarrassing people", he is more willing to live in this barbaric era when the Japanese people did not even report it in the newspapers after the defeat of the Japanese people.

"Mr. Su......" Ono saw that there were only two people in the hall, Su Youlai and Yanbei, and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to rush in with a group of people, so he quickly turned around and stopped the group of relatives behind, and saluted Su You a little awkwardly. Obviously, he hadn't forgotten that he had lost face in front of Su You last time, he was originally unwilling to respond to Su You's summons, but he did have some things that he wanted to ask Su You for help.

"Your envoy doesn't need to be polite, your envoy is ......" Su You hurriedly stepped forward, the two of them saluted and returned the salute a little vainly, and the sentence behind him was more like asking knowingly.

"Hey, don't say it, I don't know who I've messed with lately, and I've made a few dull sticks in a row! It seems that the security of this Great Sui is ...... This place is not a place for people! That's why I'm only going out now to bring so many people......" Ono girl sat down under Su You's guidance, but her mouth kept complaining, and what he said at the moment was not at all conscious of being a diplomat; But he also realized this when he said it to the end, so he quickly changed the subject.

"When are you going to return home?" When Su You heard him say this, Yun asked lightly.

Su You didn't pursue his thoughts because of Ono's sister's angry words at the moment, after all, he also secretly caused this matter, so that the great Sui Empire had such a bad impression in the minds of international friends, and he himself was really unforgivable.

"This question has also been tormenting me, to be honest, I wanted to go home as early as after the World Expo, but the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui seems to have some opinions about me and has not given me an answer." Ono said with some embarrassment, accidentally involving the wound when raising the glass, and couldn't help but secretly exhale pain.

"Oh, yes? Today, let's only talk about personal feelings, don't talk about the country, don't talk about the country. Su You took a diced meat with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, and after chewing it slowly, he pretended to be kind and said not to talk about these unhappy things.

"Actually, I've thought about asking you for help, asking you to help me ask the meaning of the Son of Heaven." Ono girl said in a polite voice, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, he wouldn't be so shameless. He had consulted with Yu Wenshu and Yang Xuangan about the timing of his return to China before, but these two people had been advised by Yang Guang, and their attitude was really intriguing.

"I also want to help you with this little favor, but now that I'm no longer in Honglu Temple, it doesn't seem appropriate to do something else." Su You heard him get to the point, but he still prevaricated, he brought up the matter of sending troops to the Ryukyus to deter the Japanese state, how could he not know the twists and turns?

"You are my teacher, Master, please show your disciple a clear path." Sister Ono hurriedly left the table and bowed, which was the second time to parade a disciple salute for Su.

After a few times without a way, the Ono girl finally received an olive branch from Su You, he had already decided that Su You was his only lifesaver before coming here, but at this time, he saw Su You pushing back, how could he not be in a hurry?

"Let's do this, after all, foreign policy still has to pay attention to a compromise, if you are soft, he will be hard, and if you are hard, he will be soft." Seeing him bowing down, Su You quickly got up and helped him up, and said slowly after sitting back in the seat.

"I know this, you have a saying in Da Sui that 'the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road', but the problem is that I don't know who to be soft with and who to go hard with." Ono's sister is still full of embarrassment, and he doesn't understand the truth of Su You's words, but whether he submits it to Honglu Temple or this is a seal submitted to the Son of Heaven, he has not returned, just like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Since you can't find someone, let others come to you." Su You is still very calm, he should eat vegetables, eat vegetables, drink and drink.

"But it's been two months, and if you keep waiting like this, when will it be a head?" Sister Ono shook her head, Su You's nonsense is really enough, but he has a request for others, and he doesn't dare to make unreasonable accusations.

"Oh, blame me for not making it clear, what I want to say is that as long as you make some noise in the Eastern Capital, it will be difficult for the imperial court to keep you!" Su You continued to add, like Grandma Wolf seducing Little Red Riding Hood.

"The law of the Great Sui pays attention to 'punishment does not respect the doctor', I am a good citizen, and I will not do anything that violates the law." Ono's face was full of righteousness and sternness, but the twist of the two sentences had betrayed him deeply, and he was just a bully who was afraid of the hard.

Ono's sister's "punishment does not respect the doctor, and courtesy does not humble the common people" may be just the wishful thinking of Confucianism or the superficial article of the ruler, how can there be a reason that "the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people"? Speaking of this law, Ono Meizi's cognition seems to be still stuck in the law of the Han Dynasty, the law of the Han Dynasty pays attention to "the murderer pays for his life", even if Cao Cao makes a mistake, he must cut his hair and punish him.

But the law of the Great Sui has now become "the punishment is not a doctor", and the powerful can use copper to replace the crime, but how can Ono Meizi, an international friend, really study the "Law of the Great Sui"?

"I will never let you defy the law, now I will tell you what to do......" Su You saw that the time was ripe, and immediately pointed out a clear path to Sister Ono.

Ono listened carefully, and was ecstatic for a while.
