Chapter 462: Shocking Words
Seeing that Lintian is in the country, it is now a peaceful and happy scene, but the intrigues and tricks inside have already passed many tricks.
"They don't dare to do it openly, but if it proves that I am not the real Anle County Lord, I am afraid that it will be Zuo Qiuchen and Zuo Qiuyu who will suffer."
With Long Tianyu here, even if those people hate her, they don't dare to touch a single hair of her easily.
Moreover, their Lin family's reputation for protecting calves is resounding all over the world.
I heard that her grandfather was beaten by a rogue prince because his soldiers were beaten, so he rushed over to dismantle someone's sedan chair.
was so frightened that the prince was urinating, claiming that he was going to tell the emperor.
But after Grandpa returned to the barracks, he immediately asked people to give himself a solid fine of fifty military sticks.
When he boarded, his skin was opened, and his life was half gone.
The emperor at that time also knew the character of the Lin family, and he did not reprimand at all, but praised the ancestors of the Lin family.
Since then, it goes without saying that the Lin family army has become more united. And the Lin family's reputation for protecting calves has also spread.
Although some people criticize it, saying that the ancestors of the Lin family despised imperial power.
But Lin Mengya didn't think there was anything wrong with what the ancestors did.
On the battlefield, the soldiers gave their lives to their generals, so the generals should also treat them as their own family.
Therefore, with the character of the Lin family, if he is a person from the Heavenly Kingdom, he dares to be unfavorable to Lin Mengya.
Then her father and brother may do whatever it takes to let these people learn a lesson.
Secretly rampant, they are more powerful than the other, but if there is really a war disaster, these people are afraid that they will escape faster than anyone else.
But this group of people may maliciously slander the two cousins, collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, and if this big hat is buttoned down, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two of them.
"That's good, as long as the master is not in danger, I will be relieved. By the way, master, in the past few days, I have taken a walk around Wangtian City, and I want to discuss something with you. β
In Bai Shao's heart, Lin Mengya's words are more effective than the holy decree.
So, since the master said that there was no danger, then she could put her mind at ease.
"Oh? What's up? β
Lin Mengya knew that Bai Shao had always gone to Wangtian City for a walk in the past few days. I thought she wanted to see the scenery of other countries, but she didn't expect it to be very meaningful.
"In the past few days, I have seen that there are many things in Wangtian City, which we do not have in Dajin, or the price is extremely high. But here, too, it's just a very ordinary object. For example, medicinal herbs and some vegetables and fresh fruits are almost ten times different from Dajin. In Dajin, it is still hard to find. So I thought, why don't you transport some of them to the Kingdom of Heaven and sell them in Dajin? β
Bai Shao's idea was too ideal, if it was so easy to trade, the merchants of the two countries would have done it a long time ago.
However, Lin Mengya did not strike at Bai Shao, but instead used the eyes in the drum to signal her to continue.
Bai Shao was a little shy at first, but when she saw her master's very interested eyes, she seemed to have received some encouragement, and her thoughts gradually flowed out.
"I asked the caravans who came to sell the goods, and they wanted to sell them all back. However, the taxes paid by the two countries are different, and in short, after the taxes of the two countries are paid, the cost has risen by at least 40%. Take a kind of fragrant rice that is a specialty of Lintian, for example, if you want to buy this kind of rice in Lintian, you have to pay taxes locally. However, it is not sold locally, so the cost has risen by 10%. If it is to be shipped out, there are two kinds of taxes to be paid locally in the Kingdom of Heaven. Then, when you enter Dajin, you have to pay at least three kinds of taxes. In this way, before the fragrant rice was sold, it rose by 60%, and with the addition of labor, it rose by 10%, which was just enough to protect the capital. β
Bai Shao's words also made Lin Mengya understand why these commodities could not be freely circulated in large quantities.
Perhaps because of the previous emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, the types of taxes in various countries are not clear.
Some tax collectors even set up various names to exploit merchants.
So there are some things that have increased their cost price a lot.
However, what you want to change is not something that can be done overnight. If it were someone else, it might not have been possible.
But if she puts it here, maybe she can really do it.
"The tax system is fundamentally related to the two countries. If you want to change, I'm afraid it will be in a short period of time, but you can't do it. β
Lin Mengya said softly, and Bai Shao also nodded, so she also knew that she was just dreaming.
Unexpectedly, the master's next sentence was a change of words and said:
"But if both countries can change their tax systems, what you said will be possible."
Bai Shao looked at Lin Mengya and didn't understand what she meant.
"Cousin Chen once promised me that if I could help him and settle the affairs of Baicao Pavilion, he would give me the commercial monopoly of the Lintian Kingdom. I think he should also have the intention of asking me to help him develop the economy, and since that is the case, I can ask Cousin Tatsu to change the tax system, and then, make it convenient for us. β
Lin Mengya's mind turned, and she understood the meaning of Zuo Qiuchen's move.
To put it bluntly, the operation of the country, up and down, requires real money.
It takes money to expand the territory, and it takes money to stabilize the country.
With the shrewdness of Cousin Yichen, if he gives the power of business to any one of his subordinates, he will inevitably be in danger of raising tigers.
But if it's her, it's much safer.
Moreover, she believes that when the business develops maturely, their generation will already grow old.
Her control is weakened, so it will be the next generation of Cousin Chen's who will sit back and enjoy it.
Of course, this is just her idea, and Cousin Tatsu may not have such a sinister idea.
But in any case, it is the people of both nations who will benefit.
"And thenβwhat about Dajin?"
Bai Shao's eyes widened, looking at his master in disbelief, I have to say, this idea is really... It's crazy!
"Dajin is easier to do, don't we have a prince?"
Lin Mengya's heart has a faint prototype. It's just that this matter is too big, and it takes a lot of energy to complete these things.
And it's definitely not just her wisdom.
She thinks that she is still a little smart, but this kind of great wisdom related to the two countries, she is limited.
"However, this is something that the emperor can only manage. No matter how big the prince is, he can't be as big as the emperor! β
Bai Shao just said it casually, but this sentence fell in Lin Mengya's heart.
Emperor? The emperor of the Great Jin?
If the crown prince really ascends the throne, I am afraid that the first one to deal with it will be Long Tianyu and the Lin family.
In that caseβ
"Since the emperor can only manage this matter, we will set up an emperor who can do this for us."
Lin Mengya's words immediately frightened Bai Shao.
She heard her right, what did the master just say?
Emperor? Oh my God, that's a bigger deal!
With a pair of eyes widened, he looked at his master.
"I'm just joking, look at you, take it seriously."
Slapped a haha and covered up the past.
But Lin Mengya knew that the battle for the heir, although she didn't want to mix it anymore. But for the sake of his own future plans, he must also mix.
If, Long Tianyu can be the emperor-
My heart was suddenly stunned, from ancient times to the present, whether the emperor is a bright monarch or a faint monarch, the three palaces and six courtyards, it is always inevitable.
If Long Tianyu really became the emperor, would she really be able to accept it?
Shaking her head, Lin Mengya felt that she couldn't help but think a little early.
Leave the future to yourself, and then worry about it.
The carriage left Wangtian City, and soon left the realm that Zuo Qiu Chen could completely control.
To get to the old capital, you have to walk for at least a month.
This is also the reason why those old ministers did not agree to move the capital.
Who would arrange the capital so close to the enemy country?
After a day's carriage ride, we finally arrived at another city in the evening.
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Mengya and Bai Shao couldn't help but look out the window curiously, wanting to see how this place was different from Dajin.
"Master, I used to think that the girls in Kyoto stood out, but I didn't expect that the girls in the heavenly kingdom were even more beautiful."
One side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, and because the Kingdom of Heaven is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the climate is naturally much wetter than that of the Great Jin.
The girls and boys here are much fairer and more delicate-skinned.
Compared with the dignified and solemn weight that is popular among the ladies of Dajin, it is a little more dashing.
Lin Mengya also felt that her eyes seemed to be insufficient, and those gadgets that she had never seen before aroused the heart of a girl she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Well, next time we have time, we must come here to eat and have a good time."
Lin Mengya said with some regret, thinking about it, she was a housegirl in the past.
In addition to classes, it is a part-time job, and then it is to stay at home alone.
Now that she has become this rich lady, she is even busier.
Women's nature to like shopping has exploded a few times in total.
Alas, this kind of life when you can't spend your money is actually not easy!
"Hmmm! When your injuries are healed, let's go buy some gifts for those dirt buns at home and bring them back. I'm thanks to you, my master. came out to see such a big circle, and when I went back, I envied them! β
Presumably came out of Wangtian City, and the two of them talked and laughed along the way, and Bai Shao was also much more lively.
At this moment, I was folding my fingers, calculating the gifts I would bring to my family.
Lin Mengya let her count, leaning on the car window, looking at the crowd and vendors.
Are these the landscapes that my mother used to see?
Except for her heart, because of the flesh and blood affection left before.
She is even more interested in this woman, who can be called the first strange woman in the Great Jin and Lintian Kingdom.
I heard my father say that they wanted to meet in the army.
I really don't know what kind of courage this most favored eldest princess of the Kingdom of Heaven has to break into the army alone.
