Qi Bokun has been with Du Jinning for so long, and he knows that if Du Jinning didn't have important political affairs to tell him, he wouldn't come to see him.

He deliberately went to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake today, basking in the warm spring sun, fishing for fish while waiting for Du Jinning to come.

Du Jinning followed Qi Muyuan, who went to greet her, to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, and when she saw this scene, she smiled and said, "Grandpa Qi, do you have a fish hook under this fishing line?" ”

"Nope. But the old man's fishing skills are superb, no, and after a while, he caught a fish. ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they both laughed "haha".

So the embarrassment of meeting was resolved in the joke of "Jiang Taigong fishes, and the willing person takes the bait".

No one mentioned Qi Muyuan's "basic situation".

Qi Bokun sent all his subordinates down, picked up the dim sum brought by Du Jinning, put a piece in his mouth, and asked, "You came to me today, what's the big deal?" ”

"Two days ago, the emperor called me to go and talked to me about land annexation." Du Jinning said, "I want to know what Grandpa Qi thinks. ”

Qi Bokun tapped her with his finger and said with a smile: "You kid, you have a belly full of flowers." Aren't you afraid that I will do one thing in front of me and one thing behind my back? ”

"No, it won't. Grandpa Qi is such a shrewd person, he knows what to do and what not to do. ”

"You know and ask?" Qi Bokun glared at her, "Is this a distrust of the old man?" ”

"How dare you?" Du Jinning arched his hand pretendly, "If I don't believe Grandpa Qi, I will go directly to the emperor, instead of letting Qi Muyuan come to ask you." I think you also know that the emperor specially asked Gonggong Wu to tell the imperial guards and let them give me a gift. ”

Qi Bokun immediately scoffed: "Come on, little fox." It's not that you trust me, but you're afraid of death and don't want to take risks. ”

"You don't stand under the wall, boy, this is a smart thing to do." Du Jinning didn't blush at all, and said unashamedly.

Qi Bokun nodded with his finger: "In terms of thick skin, I am most convinced by you kid." ”

"I'm ashamed. There are people in the world who are thicker than me, what am I? It's far worse than your old man's. ”

"Stinky boy." Qi Bokun couldn't help but scold, and after scolding, he laughed out loud.

He really likes the kid in front of him, smart, aura, and has not forgotten his heart, without the impetuousness of young people. His grandson likes Du Jinning, and he is indeed very discerning, but why is he a man?

If Qi Muyuan was replaced with a granddaughter, he would be quite happy. With a grandson-in-law like Du Jinning, he would rather not have a grandson.

Qi Muyuan didn't know that after just such a moment, his grandfather abandoned him so ruthlessly.

He brewed the tea, drank the tea in front of Qi Bokun and Du Jinning, and sat quietly to watch them arguing.

Qi Bokun swallowed the dim sum, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, we have been discussing this issue. In fact, not only now, but also during the reign of the former emperor, this issue was also raised by ministers. After all, the longer the Great Song Dynasty existed, the more obvious this problem became, and it had reached a point where it could not be ignored. It was only because the interests of the family were touched, and the former emperor was old, and he just wanted to live in peace and stability, and he didn't want the court to be turbulent, that this problem was suppressed. ”

"Don't the families know the serious consequences of this problem? Under the nest, there are no eggs! Du Jinning asked.

"I know, how don't I know? But how can the trend of interests be so easy to change? Qi Bokun sighed, "The family has a lot of income and a lot of expenses. Once the income is reduced, some people will have a hard time. ”

"What did you come up with?" Du Jinning asked.

Qi Bokun didn't hide it from her: "Start with taxes." ”

Du Jinning nodded.

And so it was.

Seeing that she was silent, Qi Bokun couldn't help but ask, "You kid has a lot of ideas. When you come to me, you must have your own ideas. He stared at Du Jinning, "Didn't you start with taxes?" ”

"Taxation naturally needs to be reformed." Du Jinning said, "But if there are too many obstacles in this regard, you can find another way." ”

Qi Bokun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How can you find another way?" ”

"Now all eyes are on the fields all over the country. Wouldn't it be nice to take their eyes off the fields? ”

"Removed from the field?" Qi Bokun frowned, "Unless the profit is higher than the income from the field, otherwise, how can they be willing to move?" ”

Speaking of this, he was slightly stunned and looked at Du Jinning: "You don't want to think about the idea of a trader, right?" ”

If you want to say that the most profitable, it is none other than the businessman.

Du Jinning nodded: "Exactly." ”

Seeing Qi Bokun frowning at her, she also mischievously imitated Qi Bokun's example, frowning and looking back at him.

Qi Muyuan saw it from the side, and with a "poof", he almost squirted out the tea.

Du Jinning, why is this guy so cute?

Qi Bokun couldn't help but want to laugh, but when he heard his grandson's laughter, he glanced at his grandson, silently suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Du Jinning's gaze with a little complicated.

Du Jinning shouted in his heart, and hurriedly opened his mouth to divert the topic from danger: "I have never understood why our Great Song Dynasty still focuses on agriculture and suppresses business. When Shang Ying proposed this, there was a specific background of the times, and that was to prepare for war. But now, the situation has changed, why do you still have to suppress agriculture and business? ”

"Heavy agriculture and suppression of business can bind the population to the fields, live and work in peace and contentment, and prosper, and can also fill the granary of the state treasury, so that there is no danger of food shortage and turmoil at home, and there is no worry about intrusion outside." Chipcock Road.

"If most of the land is in the hands of the state, in the hands of the peasants, I admit that what you say is quite reasonable. But hasn't that changed? With serious land annexation, most of the land in the hands of the family, and social contradictions intensifying day by day, it is time to have to change the national policy. ”

"......" Qi Bokun wanted to argue with Du Jinning, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he had no way to refute it.

"Let go of the road and let the goods circulate; At the same time, industry was developed, so that what could be circulated was no longer primary products, but processed agricultural and sideline products with added value, so that the tax revenues of the court could be obtained entirely from commerce, and there was no need to focus on the output of the fields. Once the business is more profitable, the value of the land in the family's hands will be reduced accordingly, and there will be much less resistance to tax reform. Moreover, only when agriculture and industry work together and walk on three legs will the country's economy and politics be stable. Du Jinning said again.

With a "bang", Qi Bokun got up from his seat and crashed into several cases in front of him, almost hitting several cases.

But he couldn't care about these anymore, and stared at Du Jinning with bright eyes: "I didn't understand what primary products and added value you just said, you can understand it more clearly." ”
