Piracy detected! Zhu Youning fooled the county lord of Anhe, and he remembered in his heart that the other party would take revenge on her family.

Who knew that after more than ten days, there was no movement, and the county lord of Anhe seemed to have never appeared in the Zhu family, if it weren't for the fact that the Bai clan was a little awkward because of the accusation of Zhu Youning last time, Zhu Youning almost wondered if the matter of the county lord of Anhe was her hallucination.

And the Zhu family's business of fine cotton cloth and coarse cloth for the imperial merchants was also in full swing. The cloth factory was busy with production, and the second uncle Zhu Huazhang, as the owner in charge of the cloth factory, was in the limelight in the Zhu family for a while.

On this day, at the summary meeting at the end of the month of Zhujia Cloth Factory, Zhu Huazhang said one thing.

"I also only learned the news, in the early days, there were ministers in the court, and I hoped that the court would recognize the status of merchants. But as soon as it was proposed, it was refuted by the ministers. ”

"And such a thing?"

When the stewards present heard this, they all whispered and discussed.

"The Holy Ancestor said that we can't straighten our backs because of business, even if we have more silver, don't we dare to show off when we walk outside? In fact, many of those big families, including those who are officials in the court, have some business at home. ”

"That's right. Without merchants, who can guarantee that the food used by those dignitaries and nobles is produced by themselves? Are they just going to buy nothing? ”

"Shhhh Don't you dare to shout so loudly, you are disrespectful to the Holy Ancestor's teachings. ”

……

Zhu Youning listened to these people's discussions, and couldn't help but ponder.

The Great Zhou Dynasty did not have a merchant status, and did not recognize the existence of merchants from the beginning of the founding of the dynasty. The emperors of the past followed the "Teachings of the Holy Ancestors" and never thought of recognizing the status of merchants.

However, once a dynasty gets rid of the war era and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is no longer possible to meet the needs of ordinary people by simply farming and eating. That's why businessmen came into being.

The kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were bound by the Holy Ancestors' teachings have always only covered their ears and stolen bells, and verbally did not recognize the status of merchants.

On the one hand, they despise the merchants, and on the other hand, they want to use the merchants, and the whole country despises the existence of the merchants from top to bottom, but everyone is inseparable from the merchants, and now the merchants of the Great Zhou Dynasty are in such an embarrassing position.

Zhu Youning feels that this situation should indeed be improved.

However, if there are officials in the court who neglect this matter, if it is not for the Holy Lord's instructions, it will be a bit risky. After all, this was a proposal to break the stereotype, and once the status of the merchant was raised, it was likely to touch the interests of the scholars.

Regardless of whether the Holy One allows it or not.

Through this incident, Zhu Youning smelled some wind directions.

Because judging from the experience of later generations, once the Great Zhou recognized the status of merchants, the next step was to use merchants to create taxes.

As long as the state is willing to recognize the status of businessmen and give businessmen some legal protection, then only the commercial tax is a huge income for the Great Zhou, which is more beneficial than disadvantageous for promoting the economic development of the Great Zhou.

Zhu Youning pursed his lips, thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder if the courtier who was sparse was a stunned young man, or if he was instructed by someone in private to be the person who dismantled the fish's head.

After Zhu Youning went home, he told Zhu Huating what he had seen today.

Zhu Huating folded his arms and pondered for a moment before saying, "This is inevitable." In the dynasties of history, although there were also Shinong industry and commerce, the status of merchants was ranked at the bottom, but at that time, the household registration of merchants was recognized, and the state would also have a protective policy for merchants.

"To exist is to be true. Since there was a merchant household registration at that time, then we will definitely come to that point if we continue to develop in the Great Zhou, because history is always rolling in wheels. ”

"Heroes see the same thing!" Zhu Youning looked up at Zhu Huating with a smile, "Dad and daughter want to go together, I think so too!" ”

The soft, well-behaved and lovely daughter, like a little adult, said something like "the hero sees the same", made Zhu Huating laugh, patted Zhu Youning's shoulder with his big hand, and couldn't stop laughing for a long time.

Bai Shi hugged the little Zhuang brother, followed by Sixteen, and came out of the main house. When I saw this scene, I couldn't help laughing: "What are these two laughing at?" Laughing like this. ”

Zhu Huating smiled at the Bai family and waved his hand, and said, "It's nothing, I just think Fu Ya'er is really cute, very smart, and accurate in seeing things." Such a smart child is actually my Zhu Zichen's daughter, I am so happy! ”

Bai Shi has been reprimanded by Zhu Huating at every turn in the past ten days, mainly because she reprimanded Zhu Youning that day, and she was still not very comfortable in her heart.

But seeing that Zhu Huating and Zhu Youning talked happily with each other, and Zhu Youning's food, clothing, housing and transportation at home were all earned by Zhu Youning, and her mother's food, housing and enjoyment were all her daughter's, but she couldn't protect her daughter, she felt ashamed in her heart.

And Bai gradually found that there were fewer and fewer common topics between himself and Zhu Youning.

For example, now, if Zhu Youning has any problems, or what analysis has been obtained, the two of them can discuss it in full swing, and she listens to it like a duck listening to thunder.

Bai Shi finally came back to his senses, and while feeling ashamed of his daughter, he also had a sense of distance.

If she questioned Zhu Youning's decision because of a little selfishness, then she could only push her daughter farther and farther.

Obviously, her daughter is so good, she is happy and even proud. But she couldn't speak, and many ideas couldn't keep up with the two of them.

Bai is often reflecting on himself. She wants to get along with her daughter and doesn't want any misunderstandings and estrangements.

"Fu Ya'er is up to you, that's why I'm so smart, I don't understand what you're saying."

Hearing Bai say this, Zhu Youning was a little surprised.

Seeing Bai's slightly shy and flattering smile, Zhu Youning understood in his heart.

It seems that Zhu Huating's persuasion of the Bai family has worked in the end, between the parents, although Zhu Youning is closer to Zhu Huating, the Bai family is indeed single-minded to her and is a loving mother.

This is enough for Zhu Youning.

"I did follow my father, but I also followed my mother, so I combined the advantages of my father and mother, I have the wisdom of my father and mother, and I must be smarter than my father."

Zhu Youning was so serious, Zhu Huating was amused and laughed again.

Seeing that Zhu Youning was as usual, the big stone hanging under his heart was also put down.

She was a little excited for a while, "It's too late today, Ming'er Niang will cook more of your favorite food for you at home, and after the noon is over, you can talk to Luo Laoshan Chang, and then go home to eat." ”

Zhu Youning tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "I made an appointment with Yan Gongzi at noon tomorrow, to thank him for his kindness last time, in fact, I made an appointment with him for a long time, because he undertook a lot of industrial affairs of the imperial merchants, and he also had to be free to accept the appointment." Mother, will you make me something to eat tomorrow night? ”

"Good, good, naturally good." Bai Shi was happy in his heart, and he responded again and again.
