"According to what you say, there is no need for a court in this world, and you are free with the people, and you can do whatever you want?" Yang Zhong strode over and stood resolutely on Yuxi's side.

"The imperial court naturally still wants it, isn't this imperial court very good now? There is no need to close everything too much and too widely, as long as it does not endanger the people and the world like the Southern Barbarian Gu worms, there is no need to pay much attention to it. Cheng Jin yawned and said lazily.

"Do you mean to say that Xiao Gui Cao follows and does nothing? But if the court doesn't care, once the wind of business causes disaster, it will be a catastrophe. ”

"How do you know it's going to be a scourge? Will it never be recovered? ”

"Businessmen's pursuit of profit not only hurts the agricultural capital, but also the wind of profit-seeking."

"Since the founding of the country, I can't help but do business, if there is no forgiveness over the years, how can there be today's peaceful and prosperous world? If those vendors were driven back to work in the fields, the capital would not be so prosperous. Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that the grain harvested every year, the harvest place, the grain price is low, the grain rots in the warehouse, the harvest is not good, the people can't eat, and they have to rely on the court to help, do you know how much the court gives once, and the intermediate loss is? Under the layers of exploitation, the grain of 100,000 taels of silver to the hands of the people is only 10,000 taels, which is still not ruthless, if you meet a few ruthless people, I am afraid that a grain of rice will not reach the hands of the people, the treasury has been emptied, the people are full of complaints, but it is the private pockets of some people. ”

"This matter should be rectified and governed, what does it have to do with merchants and farmers?"

"Then you said that the rule of officials should be rectified, and you just said that businessmen pursue profits, and the trend of profit-seeking cannot prevail. In the early days of the former Yan, the style of self-denial and revenge was great, and everyone imitated the ancient rites, and the words were high-sounding, but as a result, the wind of corruption prevailed in the upper and lower dynasties, and even the country officials also learned the same, and the geese plucked their feathers, and fed the families who did not know how many families, and how many people died. If you shout self-denial and revenge, can you not be moved by fame and fortune? Don't say that businessmen pursue profit, profit-seeking is human nature, why should they be regarded as a flood beast? And why buckle the profit-seeking pot on the merchants? ”

Yu Xi was unconvinced, "Scholars don't take profit as their nature. ”

"Scholars are also human beings, and if you are human, you will seek profit, and many times you don't realize it. I heard that the mother-in-law who served Mr. before went to another house because Mr. refused to give one or two more pieces of silver every month, if Mr. did not seek profit, he should give this two more silver every month and keep her down. ”

"Naturally not." Yu Xi's face was slightly red, "I really can't take out that one or two pieces of silver, if that woman doesn't pursue profits, she won't go to another house because of one or two pieces of silver, it is precisely because of profit-seeking that there is now a scene where the master is not the master, and the slave is not a slave." ”

"The master is a man, the slave is also a man, everyone is profit-seeking, the mother-in-law is looking for another job because of a tael of silver, and the husband hires a cheaper mother-in-law because he saves a tael of silver, and the two are willing, and they are all happy, isn't it?"

"Naturally, it's not good, the slave can betray the master because of one tael of silver, and the minister can also commit treason because of a thousand taels of silver." Yang Zhong interjected with a nonchalant expression.

"Lord Yang is wrong, your mother-in-law is just looking for another job, but she has never betrayed the master, the slave who betrays the master has its own law and punishment, and the traitorous minister is also severely punished by the law, instead of blaming it like this," Cheng Jin sighed, "Hongshan Academy advocated forgiveness and inaction back then, has it changed now?" ”

These ideas for the establishment of the country were originally Zhao Qi's, and they were put into practice in the hands of Wen Dingnian and Zhao Hua, and the imperial court replied to the merchants for many years, but in recent years, more and more scholars began to pay attention to the view of the door, and the ancient style of self-denial and revenge was not only more and more tightly restrained on women, but also hidden signs of suppressing businessmen.

As soon as Cheng Jin's words came out, Yu Xi and Yang Zhong's faces became not very good-looking, they were taught by the master, how could they not know that it was indeed the master's proposition, but he did not change, it was they who changed, and over the years, they would inevitably be affected by the atmosphere in the capital, and because of the Nanban Gu case, they had a little prejudice against the businessman.

Yu Xi immediately fell silent, although she was not panicked, but she was also very uneasy, she almost forgot that Cheng Jin was also Zhao Hua, and she criticized her ideas in front of her......

"Hongshan Academy's proposition has never changed, Senior Brother Yang and Senior Sister Yu are just discussing current affairs." Wen Shao'an walked over, casually diverted the topic, and pulled Cheng Jindao, "The venison soup is ready, according to what you said, add herbs, come and taste it." ”

Cheng Jin, who talked about eating, immediately became interested, no matter what the importance of business or the suppression of business, Yu Xi and Yang Zhong were still depressed there, and she happily ate venison by herself.

"It's not far from Koto, isn't it?" Not far away, Mr. Pei was talking to Fang Wu about geography.

"Over that mountain, and then across the river is Jiangdong."

"Is the drought in Jiangdong serious this year?"

"It's okay," Fang Wu frowned slightly, "I didn't hear of a drought when I left home, it just rained a few days ago, everything is quite ordinary, maybe it's a long drought here?" ”

"Is the climate so much worse when you cross a river?"

"Indeed, the climate in this area is endless, not to mention crossing the river, it is in the same mountain, one is in the south of the mountain, the other is in the north of the mountain, the climate is also very different, sometimes the Jiangdong rains, Jiangxi drought."

Cheng Jin chewed the venison, leaned over to Wen Shao'an's side, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong here?" ”

"Why do you ask?" He looked down at her with a gentle expression.

"I think you are unusually silent today, especially after seeing that waterhole, you have never been happy to even hunt such a big deer."

He smiled slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "There's something strange under that pool. ”

"What's weird? Is it a goblin? She was instantly excited, and she had been learning spells for some time, but she had been suffering from the uselessness of heroes.

Looking at her figure getting closer and closer, he leaned back uncomfortably, and secretly said in his heart, you are the goblin.

"It should be a big snake that is about to be cultivated."

Although Jiao is not as good as a dragon, it is also a monster that can call the wind and rain, Cheng Jin is eager to try, "Let's go get rid of it?" ”

"What are you going to do to provoke it? It was repaired here, and it didn't come out to disturb the people, we were just passing by, so why bother? ”

"Isn't the drought here his fault?"

"It should be inseparable." He paused, "But there are no people here, even a slight drought is not a big problem, not to mention that we easily hunted this male deer today, you haven't thought about the reason?" ”

Today's stag came out of the strange thing, see it stupidly drinking water by the waterhole, see people do not run, it turns out that it is not just drinking water, no wonder usually can only hunt a pheasant and hare, today will go such a big luck, it turned out to be intentional.
