Shanhailou is one of the restaurants in Xianyang. One of the best in business. Mainly in addition to the comfort of service here. There are also many dishes that cannot be made in other restaurants.

Picked a window position. Chen Sheng sat down. I don't know why. For this couch sitting. He didn't feel used to it. Especially after every kneeling session. Soreness on both feet. It's painful and painful. At the time of the barracks. He had the craftsmen make a lot of chairs, stools, and tables. These utensils have been well promoted in central Fujian and Lingnan. But back to Xianyang. But I found that not many people were willing to use it.

The reason is actually quite simple. One person sits. It's been hundreds of years. A long-standing custom in the Central Plains. It's part of the liturgy. And the chairs and stools made by Chen Sheng. It's not like no one hasn't done it. The Hu people in the north. Also likes to make similar furniture out of wood. Because the Hu people are savage. So the Central Plains people. Especially in the homes of dignitaries. I don't want to use this kind of thing.

Chen Sheng was a little speechless about this. But he also knew it. Tables and chairs replace couches. is imperative. People always like to be comfortable. So he has started the idea of playing the furniture market. Send someone to buy wood. And hire craftsmen. Start building furniture. In due course. Take advantage of the situation to promote.

After the ordered dishes come up. The two feasted. However, Chen Sheng noticed. A middle-aged man sitting next to him. From time to time, they stared at him.

This man is good-looking. has an aura of non-anger and self-authority. When Chen Sheng saw this man. I can't help but be amazed. Thinking about it, this man must be a big official and nobleman in the court. But look strange. Apparently I haven't seen it before.

Difficult man opposite. There was also an old man in his sixties sitting on his knees. The old man's 'spirit' is full of energy. Talking to the man.

Chen Sheng was curious. While eating. While listening to the two of them.

“…… Trip...... The subjects of the six kingdoms of Shandong have not yet returned to their hearts. It should be punished according to the law. in order to deter the forces of restoration...... That's probably it."

Middle-aged man sandwiching a dish. While chewing. While listening to the old man's chatter. The old man didn't seem to have the slightest interest in the table full of food and drink. Let's talk. It's hard to suppress. It's like a chatterbox. The more you talk, the more 'excited' it becomes. The louder he spoke, the louder he spoke.

Chen Sheng finally heard clearly. These two men were originally discussing the line of governance of the Qin State. From the political, economic, military, and even educational. The old man has a way to talk about it. Chen Sheng was secretly surprised. The laws of the Qin State are strict. Ordinary people are not allowed to discuss the government in private. The courage of the two is really not small. Not only did it go. Still talking about these in the restaurant. It's so daring.

But Chen Sheng's brows furrowed more and more when he heard this. None of them. Because of the methods that the old man proposed. All of them were unacceptable to Chen Sheng.

But what makes it even more difficult for Chen Sheng to accept is . The middle-aged man nodded his head frequently when he heard it. From time to time, I ask a few more questions. It seems to agree with the old man's statement. Finally. Chen Sheng was impatient to hear what the old man said. Slap the table. He said angrily to the old man on the next table: "The words of the old man. I beg to differ below. If you govern the country according to the way of the old man. Then the Qin State will not be able to live in peace."

Two people sitting next to each other. Surprised glanced at Chen Sheng. The old man heard Chen Sheng's rude words. An old face couldn't help but turn purple and black. Raised his hand and pointed at Chen Sheng and said angrily: "You. . . Hello bold. DO YOU KNOW ......"

"Huh. Mr. Li. Don't worry about a junior boy." The middle-aged man smiled faintly. smiled at Chen Sheng. Said: "Contemptible and Mr. Li feel the current situation in the Qin State. The path that Qin might take in the future was discussed. Just figuring it out. There is no malice. Why does the little brother think. Mr. Lee's method is not good."

Chen Sheng was shocked. He's always had a good temper in control. But today it is for some reason. After hearing what the old man said. I felt a stuffy feeling in my heart. Silting. No vomit and no pleasure. But after all that is said. He immediately realized his recklessness. It's too late to apologize.

Seeing the middle-aged man's face 'color' as usual. The old gentleman is not good at seizures either. But not 'yin' and not yang said: "Since the little brother thinks what the old man said is inappropriate. That must have a good way to govern the country in the 'chest'. Let's talk about it. Let the old man convince his taste."

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly. But a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face. The two tables were put together.

"Little brother. Please say." The smile of the middle-aged man seems to have an irresistible charm. Chen Sheng was helpless. I had to say: "I am afraid. Just think. What the old gentleman said. Some of it has passed."

"How have you been." The man asked again.

"First of all. The old gentleman thinks. The six countries of Shandong are stable. The territory is not stable. The rule of law should be emphasized. This. In the next disagreed. It is precisely because the land of Shandong is not stable. This method is the least feasible. If the court wants to make the people of the world come to their hearts. You must not have two hearts about the world. Treat these new lands. Of course, the law is followed. But it is even more important to be lightly endowed. Proclamation of the Emperor's Holy Grace. Favor and compassionate to the people of Qianshou. in order to gather the hearts of the people. to bring the people to their hearts."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly. "Go on." And next to Mr. Lee. But it was a look of disdain. Thought it was a cliché.

"Second. Let's talk about taxes. Mr. Li said. The imperial court should pay taxes widely. Heavy agriculture and suppression of business. Make sure that the acres of land are cultivated. At the same time, heavy taxes were imposed on merchants. Cheap its status. In order to ensure the stability and long-term stability of the country. In the next thought. This is the most foolish thing to do." Mention the importance of agriculture and the suppression of business. Chen Sheng had anger in his heart. If he strips away his rulers; Chen Sheng is a businessman. The words of the old man. It's clearly for him. How could he not be 'agitated'.

"The world is disturbed. Visitors are not named. That is, for the benefit. Merchant. Although profit-seeking. But it can be all over the country. Complementarity. Commodity flows. It also creates countless wealth. Bringing endless tax revenues to the country. Take Minzhong as an example. A year's commercial tax in Minzhong County. It is thirty-seven times the tax paid by the head of Qian. From here, we can show the importance of the 'sex' of business. The devastation it has brought to the country. How serious."

"All the people have a desire for profit. If everybody went into business. Who will cultivate the field? Who will bear the burden of conscription?" Mr. Li was furious. Angry retort.

Chen Sheng sneered and said: "In the third generation of Xia Shang, the yield per mu is only one bucket. But nowadays it's 'intensive' farming. The yield per mu is more than six buckets. It is not the number of people who plow the crop that determines the yield. Rather, it is the kind of farming technique that determines how much food is produced. If you are worried about the lack of food. The imperial court should focus on finding a solution to the problem of low grain yields. How to introduce more food species. Promote planting. For example, Minzhong County is promoting the cultivation of potatoes. The yield per mu reached 3,000 catties. If it spreads. The Great Qin Kingdom can still starve people to death."
