He had already seen that the emperor had made up his mind in his heart, and the emperor had already asked Gu Chengyu to raise this matter in the early dynasty, presumably not for them to discuss. Instead, let Gu Chengyu tell them how to do it.

At that moment, he can't raise an objection, otherwise the emperor will definitely be unhappy in his heart. And the emperor's decision will not change, so he might as well get acquainted.

As the first assistant, he has a lot of filial piety. Those tea farmers are filial, he doesn't look at them.

Xia Qing admitted that Gu Chengyu was very talented, but Gu Chengyu was still too young. And now the official position is only a sixth grade, and Gu Chengyu suffers from this.

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly scold this Xia Qingguo for being an old fox, and his face was so thick.

Sure enough, the emperor's complexion has eased a little, which is satisfied with Xia Qing's acquaintance. As long as Shousuke agrees, there will be a lot less obstacle to the tea tax.

Gu Chengyu hesitated for a moment, but decided to fight for it. After all, the mutual market is beneficial to the imperial court, he just wants to do his part, if it is really not feasible, then he can only give up.

After all, a person's ability is limited, and Jiang Mingyuan has just become a Beijing official, and his connections are not abundant, so it is good to be able to stand up and say a few words for him.

"Looking back at Lord Fu, this is going back to what Xia Guan said before. As long as they gave Daxing enough benefits, they took advantage of it, and they were naturally full of joy at the beginning. When they come to their senses, we will also gain great benefits, and we will not lose. ”

"If they don't agree to an alliance after that, then the mutual market can do it! However, this is only a little shallow opinion that Wei Chen thought of last night, if the emperor and the adults think that this matter is not feasible, it can only be said that the lower officials think too one-sidedly. ”

Gu Chengyu also admitted that his ideas were not perfect. However, perfecting it will not happen overnight. And things in the world are constantly changing, and he is not at the border, and these things are limited to similar documents from previous lives, and perhaps it will become difficult to really implement them.

For example, the deployment of troops, such as whether the soldiers are good at war, and whether the generals have strategies, these are all indispensable elements for the opening of mutual markets.

Dai Yuanji said it was not unreasonable, Gu Chengyu reflected on it just now, maybe he really took it for granted.

"Nope! Father, the son-in-law felt that the mutual market that Gu Xiu said could be tried. We are such a big country, are we still afraid that they will not be able to make a small country? In addition, there are many advantages to opening up the mutual market, and at least in the matter of taxation, it will be able to contribute to the replenishment of the state treasury. ”

The eldest prince pondered for a moment, and then said, "The points raised by Gu Xiu just now are quite reasonable, as for the rest, based on these points alone, it will definitely not work." However, this has to be solved slowly in the course of implementation, and it will certainly not be so comprehensive for a while. In this matter, Erchen thought that he would have to send officials to the border and make a detailed plan. Today in the court, there must be no reason for arguing. ”

Gu Chengyu was really a little surprised, he didn't expect the eldest prince to agree with him. In fact, he thinks that these officials are looking forward and backward, afraid of wolves and tigers, so how can Dayan prosper?

It seems that the eldest prince does have a momentum, and his ambition is naturally not lacking, which is suitable for expanding the territory and is not suitable for defending a faction.

The emperor also felt that the points raised by Gu Chengyu basically solved several of the major problems. He was also a little moved, saying that it was impossible not to be moved.

He was only old now, how could he be so hesitant if he had stayed in his previous youth? He sighed, he was still old, he just wanted to keep it, and he didn't have the ambition he had before.

still glanced at the eldest prince and felt that among the four princes, the one who was most similar to him was the boss. It's a pity that the boss is a concubine......

The second prince shook his fist, but did not answer after all.

"The matter of the tea and horse exchange market is put on hold for the time being, and I will send someone to the border to investigate. But what objections do you have about the tea tax? ”

Everyone saw that the emperor had an intention, and it was not easy to sweep away the emperor's interest. After all, the mutual market is not something that can be done in a few words, and when the officials sent to the border come back, the emperor will let them participate in the discussion.

Dai Yuanji glanced at the emperor and stopped talking. It wasn't until the emperor talked about the tea tax that he was listed. Don't you know the emperor's temperament? As long as it is decided, even if the courtiers oppose it, the emperor will not listen, so why should he be this evil person again?

He took a deep look at Gu Chengyu, the emperor valued this person so much. And this person's mind is like a sieve, and for Dayan, he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Naturally, the other officials did not dare to have an opinion, and even Lord Shousuke agreed, and it was in vain for them to oppose it.

At this time, Gu Chengyu spoke again.

"Emperor Qiqi, just now Weichen said that he wanted to add a few points, and at this time, Weichen hasn't finished speaking."

Xia Qing couldn't help but snort coldly, the emperor had already agreed to his tea tax. This Gu Chengyu really didn't know what to do, and he dared to interject in front of the emperor.

"Oh? Then Gu Aiqing will say come and listen. Because Gu Chengyu explained that he thought about it the night before, the emperor's face softened.

There are a few points that Gu Chengyu has to put forward, and the emperor naturally wants to listen, after all, it is beneficial to the implementation of the tea tax, isn't it?

Gu Chengyu raised his head and peeked at it, and saw that the emperor's face was not as gloomy as before, so he was relieved.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thought that if the government could build the treasury of the government on those roads that had to have a big tea field. As long as it is a tea merchant in the past, he can put the tea in the treasury of the government, so that the tea merchants do not have to worry about the safety of tea and people. ”

The emperor nodded, thinking that this method was very good, which could be regarded as a compensation for the tea merchants.

"Your Majesty, but building a treasury is a big expense!" At this time, Shen Shikang, who was cowering aside, finally spoke, and shouted that there was no silver as soon as he came up.

When the emperor heard this, he was so angry that he immediately became angry.

If the officials of the household department don't think of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, they will only cry poor, how can the emperor not be angry?

"Your Majesty, in fact, these are naturally from those tea merchants. If the tea merchant wants to put it in the treasury of the government, he has to pay the corresponding proportion of silver according to the tonnage of tea, which can be called land-sinking money. However, Weichen did not calculate carefully, so he will not repeat it. But Wechen thought that the annual field tax of tea farmers could be reduced or reduced. ”

"Then according to Gu Xiu, the tea merchant suffers the most? Those tea farmers have a lot of land tax a year, so what is the difference between that and tea tax? ”

The third prince looked at Gu Chengyu who ruined his financial path, and he was a little unpleasant. However, he also had to admit that Gu Chengyu was talented, and he could be regarded as thinking about the people.

"If you go back to Your Highness, it will only be a part of the reduction, which can be regarded as compensating the tea farmers. After all, it's too harsh, and tea farmers don't want to grow tea anymore. ”
