"Don't dare." To listen to this tone is to be angry.

Xu Yan stepped forward a few words and persuaded: "Since ancient times, farming has been the right way, and it has also been a national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.

"Lord Xu." Xue Ji's voice was much deeper: "You forgot? The Xue family has been a businessman for a hundred years."

When Genghe proposed to increase commercial taxes in the early years of that year, Chen Yu resisted again and again, and in the end he didn't stop it, causing the Jiangling merchant family to tear their faces with him. Now that this kind of thing has happened, if Xue Ji lets it go, not only will he be scolded by businessmen all over the world, but also the century-old foundation of the Xue family will be ruined.

"There is something to give." Xu Yan's words were a little pale, and he couldn't even persuade himself, let alone Xue Ji.

Xue Ji said impatiently: "I won't cover this chapter, as for the proposal, I will either return it or wait for His Majesty to come back and deal with it myself."

Xu Yan said: "The things that Your Majesty mentioned yourself should be decided after returning to the court, why do you bother to find yourself unhappy."

"He wants to issue this edict, and Xue is the first to object."

The atmosphere around him was stalemate for a long time, but Xu Yan spoke first to ease up.

"Don't be too anxious, Chen Shao is also the son of a merchant, he follows His Majesty, and if he wants to persuade him, he will persuade you before you."

But he heard Xue Ji sneer and said, "Can he persuade? I'm afraid he came up with the idea!"

"How?" Xu Yan didn't understand the grievances and grievances between the Jiangling family, and was shocked when he heard this: "He is a businessman himself, can he still smash his own shop?"

Xue Jidao: "The Chen family is the only one left, and now that he has entered the official career, the family's business has been exhausted and the lamps have dried up, and they are all supported by the old subordinates, so why not change his behavior?" Before changing careers, you can still drag your opponent into the water, and make a sure profit and no loss."

"But haven't you two always been friends?"

Xue Ji said helplessly: "That's the matter of the previous generation, and besides, where do businessmen have any true friends."

In August, the holy driver was already on his way back to Beijing, and about the increase in business taxes, the government hall had already piled up a mountain, but Xue Ji ignored it, suppressed it, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him.

"Lord Xue, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."

Hearing this voice, Xue Ji was slightly surprised, in the past, the prince called him to the East Palace, why did he come here by himself today?

Only at this moment, Qin He's figure had already appeared at the door, and when Xue Ji saw this, he got up and saluted: "The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, why is His Highness here?"

"I heard that the prime minister suppressed more than 40 books and ignored them, why is this?" Qin He's voice was immature and a little weird to hear, but the tone was serious, making people unable to make jokes.

Xue Ji hesitated, it stands to reason that the prince has the right to intervene in state affairs, and His Majesty is not in Beijing, if the prince gives an order, it is comparable to a holy decree...... But now that the prince is in the age of learning, it's not appropriate to ask about politics in such a hurry, right?

"The suppressed Song Shuchen doesn't dare to approve it arrogantly, so let's wait for His Majesty to come back and deal with it."

These words were enough to deal with ordinary children, but Qin He was not fooled by him at all, and said with a smile: "When the father and emperor left, the adults were allowed to deal with it with full authority, why don't you dare? Isn't this related to the Prime Minister?"

Xue Ji's heart tightened, he really didn't want to fight with him anymore, but he couldn't just say that he would send someone back. He frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty is already on his way back to Beijing, and it should arrive in a few days, not one day or two days."

Qin He smiled again, this smile was full of calculation, and the look that should have looked like a woman was deceitful appeared on a child's face, but it made people feel cute.

"If you don't say it, how do you know that I can't help you?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Ji was already covered in a cold sweat, and subconsciously looked to the side, fortunately, these officials were sensible, and they had already retreated when Qin He came in.

He was silent, not hesitating if Qin He could help him, but speculating about why the prince wanted to help him for no reason.

His apprehension and trepidation at this time was, in short, flattered.

"Your Highness's age is the time to study, why bother about these things, when you reach the age of asking about politics, Your Majesty will naturally let Your Highness know

。」

I thought that what he said was straightforward enough, no matter how ambitious Qin He was in his heart, he should be a little more restrained.

Unexpectedly, he found a chair next to him and sat down, with no intention of leaving at all.

"My father wants to increase business taxes, Lord Xue's family has been in business for a hundred years, public and private affairs can't be taken care of, loyalty and filial piety can't be both, am I right?"

Without the slightest error.

Xue Ji's gaze became a little complicated, who told him this, Xu Yan?

Qin He seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking, and then said, "There are some things that you can listen to carefully, and then think about it yourself, and you will understand."

The words have been made very clear, Xue Ji still does not plan to get on his thief ship.

"Watch now, it's too early."

"If I have no heart, others will."

Others? Could it be that Qin Xun had already begun to move this crooked mind at a young age? Xue Ji was shocked in his heart, although he knew that the children of the Heavenly Family were always more mature, but this was too exaggerated......

Qin He didn't mind Xue Ji's suspicions at all, and still smiled and said, "Prime Minister really doesn't want to listen to Qin He's words?"

After hesitating for a long time, Xue Ji finally relented.

"Prince, please speak."

Qin He smiled even more, and said Kankan: "Instead of worrying about family affairs, why don't you think about the disadvantages of increasing business taxes in the imperial court, even if it is discouraged, it is also for the imperial court and the society to dissuade."

It's not that I haven't thought about it, but increasing commercial taxes is a great good thing for the national treasury, and it doesn't oppress the peasants, what disadvantages can it have?

Qin He continued, "If the business tax is increased, how can the businessman profit?"

The sentence 'It's not bad to lose money, it's still profitable' stuck in his mouth and didn't say it, Xue Ji suddenly remembered something.

He remembered that if the commercial tax was raised, the merchant would not be without profit, but ...... Only female businessmen can make a profit.

"Although there are no businessmen and no women, there are countless civilians in the world who do small business to supplement their families, and Your Majesty raises the business tax, and those ordinary people will inevitably give up, and the only people left are female businessmen." Xue Ji said thoughtfully.

In this way, dissuasion on this ground has no better chance of victory than selfish dissuasion.

After Qin He left, Xue Ji looked at the door and couldn't help but sigh.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart, and the future is promising."

The accumulation of notes in the political hall gradually decreased, because they were all rejected by Xue Ji one by one and re-issued.

This move was naturally obstructed by Chen Shao's party, and some even accused Xue Ji of fake public welfare and private interests, and his angry eyes looked like he was going to swallow his life alive. But this appearance is a little real and a little fake, and everyone's hearts are like mirrors.

Immersed in this troubled water, who is not for themselves.

Hearing his aggressive questioning, Xue Ji was not annoyed, so he stood at the head of the hundred officials with his hands in his hands, and responded indifferently: "Your Majesty will come to Beijing tomorrow, if Lord Fang thinks it is inappropriate, you can tell Your Majesty."

I only heard the disdainful sneer and small discussion from the crowd.

"The tax increase is what His Majesty meant, and I don't know where he got his confidence."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know that the prime minister has rejected all the songs, just wait, Ming'er has a good show."

"He has only been worshipping the prime minister for many years, and he dares to come to His Majesty......

"There are always people who don't like to be too comfortable."

Every word was full of mockery, obviously these officials were pretending to raise their hands to cover their mouths, but the volume of their voices was impartial so that Xue Ji could hear it, and not a word fell.

Xu Yan glanced at Xue Ji, he had known Xue Ji for nearly twenty years, and knew that Xue Ji had never been a conceited person, how could he make such a decision? went against the Son of Heaven, and most of the results ended up being dead without a place to be buried...... It is impossible for him not to understand this truth.

I only heard Xue Ji shouting in a deep voice: "Above the court, what kind of system is it like to be so noisy!"

The sound below was a little quieter, but it still didn't completely disappear.

At this time, Xue Ji, as the prime minister, was standing on the cusp of negation, and he clearly knew that the whispers below were all aimed at him, and it was better to suppress it by force or to convince people with virtue

, it's all in his thoughts.

Before Xue Ji could open his mouth, he saw Fang Huai show a mocking smile and let out a long sigh.

The official beside him pretended to make a puzzled expression and asked, "Lord Fang, why are you sighing?"

Fang Huai raised his head and muttered, "I was surprised that Lord Yang was transferred to Puzhou last month, but now that I think about it, I understand everything. Poor Sheji, in the hands of those who have abolished the public for personal gain!"
