Emperor Qinglong looked at the things on the table, and his face was happy. He was worried about the war supplies at the border pass, and Yan Ran sent this, but wasn't the person who fell asleep and met the pillow? He just glanced at it, and then handed the thing to the father-in-law Gao on the side, and said to the minister of civil and military affairs below: "All the adults have taken a look?" ”

As a result, the list of silver tickets and materials was transferred from the hands of the high father-in-law to the hands of the people below, of course, from the high official position to the low official position, and passed in turn.

This amount of money and food was not much at all when it was put on every minister present, but each of them was silent, and several people broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. These people bought the chrysanthemum wine recipe with Yan Ran at the beginning, or they went to the restaurant under their name to buy it. The country is full of disasters, but you spend a lot of money to buy a wine party?

At this time, Yan Ran stepped forward again and said loudly: "Father, at present, the treasury is empty, the country is weak, and the son suggests that the father and emperor gather the strength of several families to brew various treasures in partnership, and sell them to the border in exchange for cattle, sheep, horses and other things to enrich the strength of our army." As far as Erchen knows, the small people in the border area are fierce and like spirits, and Erchen has a recipe for brewing spirits from sorghum grains, and he also took in a few masters who are good at making wine during the previous famine, and if his father agrees, he can start work immediately. ”

Emperor Qinglong looked at Yan Ran, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also looked at Yan Ran.

However, this time it was not shock, but disdain and thick irony.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, are you trying to persuade the emperor to open a mutual market with the barbarians? Barbarians are cunning and savage, and if you don't understand it, I'm afraid that your things will be robbed before they are sold! ”

"Long live the princess, what the princess said is inappropriate!"

Immediately, many people chimed in, "Yes, yes! ”

There were also people who shook their heads heavily, with a strong sense of sarcasm on their faces, but they did not speak.

Yan Ran looked at an old man with a gray beard, took half a step forward to him, bowed, and said sincerely, "Master Hua." Then he got up, threw his hands around, and said with a smile: "The lords are all rich and well-educated, and they naturally have a unique view on governing the country. This palace is young, and he was raised by Yun as a maid, so he naturally has no knowledge. ”

When they heard this, many people had smiles on their faces.

Yan Ran changed the topic, still smiled gently, and asked: "So, if there is no trade, in your opinion, how can the situation in my country be alleviated as soon as possible, and finally the country will become rich and the people strong?" ”

"This ......"

This question is a very important issue regardless of the dynasty in which we live, and there is hardly a perfect answer to it.

Seeing everyone groaning there, Yan Ran quietly retreated into the crowd and looked around with a smile.

Emperor Qinglong kept his face calm and thought for a while, feeling that he couldn't find the most perfect plan at all, so he wanted to ask the person who asked this question, but when he swept his eyes, he saw that the person had already hidden in the crowd, and his thin and small figure looked more and more petite and pitiful among a large group of old and young masters.

However, it is such a petite person, but he has helped him solve the problems he has encountered again and again, knowing that the treasury is empty, he quietly asked people to send silver tickets over, and now he is standing here, wanting to help him improve the fortune of the country with his own strength, but how difficult is this? She's so young......

Yan Ran saw Emperor Qinglong's eyes wandering through the crowd, guessing that he wanted to find her, so he walked out slowly again, and threw out a question again: "Father, my lord, I don't know how you understand the word "rich country and strong people?" ”

Huada sneered coldly and said with a smile: "The Treatise on Salt and Iron" says that the benefits of peripherals are a hundredfold, the taxes of the mountains and rivers are collected, the country is rich and the people are strong, the equipment is finished, and there is more than enough; Han, Zhao Ye's "Wu Yue Chunqiu" said, "The people are rich and the country is strong, and the people are safe and strong." The so-called "rich country and strong people" means that the country is rich and the nation is strong, which is the royal road. After speaking, he glanced at Yan Ran, "This is the best reason in the world, it's not something that you can understand as a little girl, so let's go home and embroider and draw fish!" ”

Yan Ran let out a light "oh" and asked rhetorically again: "So have you ever heard of the three words "the people are poor and the country is poor, the country is poor and the people are weak, and the country is bad and the people are poor?" ”

Hua Daren flicked his sleeves, looked at Yan Ran like a fool, and said coldly: "Then I naturally know." ”

Yan Ran asked again: "Have you ever thought about why these four words are combined like this?" In other words, why does it have to be the same as the people to reflect the state of a country? ”

"Why do you want the country and the people to be in harmony?" Huada was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this question.

However, he didn't think about it, it doesn't mean that everyone hasn't thought about it, Emperor Qinglong asked with interest: "Does Ran'er know the relationship between this country and the people?" The tone was full of negations and questions.

Yan Ran thought about it sideways, and then replied: "Father, the ministers haven't thought about this problem, but they have some feelings, and now they say that they will listen to their father and the lords, and everyone will judge whether Yan Ran is right or not." ”

"As we all know, this sea is full of water, and the whole sea is vast, but if you separate it, it is a small drop of water, and I think this is in line with the principle of the country and the people. The country is the sea, and the people are the dripping grains of water in the sea. The sea can not care about a single droplet, or it can not care about hundreds or thousands of droplets, but if there are no droplets in the sea in the end, then the sea cannot be called a sea. The same is true of the country. ”

"In addition, I believe that the country should benefit its people, make them rich, and have no worries about food and clothing, so that the people can support all the operations of the country. If the people are not able to make a living, then where will the state pay taxes and levy labor? Therefore, the people are the foundation of the country. The father must not forget the roots, and abandon the original to the end......"

"How can you be rich? It's very simple, the people all know it, open source and reduce expenditure. What does it mean to open source and reduce expenditure, everyone is a great Confucian in the world, so there must be no need for Yan Ran to explain, right? The ancients advocated frugality, and there were many examples of this, so Yan Ran didn't have many mouths. Father, what the son wants to say today is this open source ......"

When it comes to open source, there are all kinds of discussions buzzing in the hall.

Everyone knows that open source, as the name suggests, is to expand the source.

However, in the minds of the old antiques in this hall, the wealth of the country is taxes, and the sources of taxes are agricultural taxes and commercial taxes. But everyone knows that a large area of Dayan has been affected by disasters in the year, and crops have not grown, that is, some have grown even more this year......

The commercial tax is the tax collected by the merchants, and the same collection cannot be collected......
