"So that's the case, hehe, Brother Xian scared me." Zheng Xuyou smiled and said: "Brother Xian, don't worry, when the time comes, my brothers will definitely come to participate in the imperial examination, if they can't be raised, when the time comes, they will all be pulled in for the brothers." These are all friends of life and death of the younger brother, and they have always been responsible for serving the country and worrying about the people...... "I understand, that is, the rebellious boys of several family lords, hot-blooded young people, etc., are of great use here."

I wrote this is a pat on the back of Uncle Li, praise Uncle Li for his foresight, under his advocacy, the commercial economy of our dynasty has made great progress and take-off, in the feudal dynasty, the Zhenguan period is the only one, does not discriminate against the feudal emperor era of commerce, and Uncle Li not only does not discriminate, but also provides a lot of convenient conditions for commercial development, which further reflects Uncle Li's far-sighted vision, since Uncle Li was in power, the development of the commercial economy has been extremely rapid, And new commercial cities have sprung up. More than half of the world's famous commercial cities in this era are concentrated in China. In addition to the coastal Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, Mingzhou, and Fuzhou, there are also inland Hongzhou, that is, near Nanchang, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Shazhou in the northwest. The capital Chang'an and the capital Luoyang are the metropolises of the world.

The "Silk Road" of the world's civilization is the link between the material civilization of the East and the West, but this commercial channel only reached its highest use value in the era of the Tang Empire. The territory of the Tang Empire was unprecedentedly vast, four important military towns were set up in the Western Regions, and the western border went directly to the Shiguo of Central Asia, that is, the area of Kazakhstan in the future, which provided a stable social order and effective security for the business travelers between the East and the West.

In this regard, I also put forward some of my own views in the article, wealth should not be limited to land resources, but should pay more attention to the economic wealth of commerce, which is particularly important for the country.

But I never thought that such an article promoting and advocating both industry and commerce would make me be dragged by Uncle Li's guards to the Datang Military Academy. Fortunately, as soon as I got out of class, as soon as Fang came out of the classroom door, I saw Zhao Kun leading two guards to hurry straight to me.

----------------------------------------------------------- "The Tang Emperor ordered that Fang Jun, the head of the Tang Military Academy, should be summoned to the Hanyuan Hall to discuss matters immediately. "Zhao Kun saw me and immediately announced Uncle Li's order, his expression was very serious, it seemed to be a big deal, he hurriedly followed Zhao Kun out of the courtyard gate, hit the horse and went to Chang'an, on the way to ask Zhao Kun to know, it turned out that many ministers had seen this article, and they were very angry and jumped Uncle Li's attack on me in vain to put the cart before the horse, saying what about the four people in the world, 369, etc., heavy agriculture and suppressing business, this is the rule set by the ancestors, regardless of the Qin and Han dynasties, they all took the suppression of business as a national policy, but Uncle Li was angry enough, But the cause of this incident was provoked by my article, and in desperation, Uncle Li ordered Zhao Kun to summon me to the palace, saying that he wanted me to explain what was going on.

“…… Such a violent reaction? I couldn't help but be taken aback by Zhao Kun's description.

The fast horse rushed to the palace, and Zhao Kun hurriedly went straight to the front of the Hanyuan Palace, the cake seller, this is still the Hanyuan Palace, and it has already become a pot of porridge. Zhao Kun motioned for me to stay outside the hall, he went back first, I gasped against the threshold, but I ran in for a while, wearing official robes, and I almost came into close contact with the earth several times. At this moment, a voice that made my whole body cold and my hair turned upside down, and my scalp exploded, screamed in my ears: "Lord of the main room of the Datang Military Academy has arrived!" ……”

Turning his head suddenly, the eunuch who was comparable to a beautiful soprano singer smiled at me a little shyly, Oh, Sanqing Dao is on top, and my heart almost collapsed directly outside the door of Hanyuan Palace. Quickly moved a few steps to the side.

"Master Junfang, the main house of the Tang Military Academy, go to the hall!" There was a scream from inside, and I straightened my clothes and walked towards the hall with my eyebrows bowed.

"Chen Fang Jun, knock on Your Majesty."

Uncle Li waved his hand: "Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, give me a seat." "A eunuch had already brought a mat to the side, and unfortunately I was asked to sit in the center of the main hall, in a dangerous area surrounded on all sides.

"Your Majesty, please treat Fang Jun's disrespectful crime, Your Majesty's ministers please treat Fang Jun and ignore it...... "My ass hasn't been hot yet, and all of a sudden a group of people from the boss want to trouble me, damn, there is no good bird, do you still think you can beat the water dog?"

"What's the hurry? Stand down for me, what kind of system is it to be noisy and shouting! Uncle Li sat up straight on the dragon couch, and shouted in a low voice without anger, and finally calmed the scene, no one dared to say anything anymore, and each returned to his seat. Uncle Li straightened his long beard: "Aiqing, there is a royal history, Aiqing emphasizes business and suppresses agriculture, betrays the national policy of my dynasty, ignores the law of the ancestors, and wants to invert the position of the four people...... "Uncle Li's mouth is like a river, and my scalp is numb when I hear it, what's wrong with this?" So many crimes? !

I couldn't help it, and raised the wat in my hand, which was the jade plate used by the ministers of the previous court, "Your Majesty! The minister has something to say. ”

"Don't be busy, Aiqing, do you admit these sins?" Uncle Li looked at me with a smile and recognized it. As soon as Uncle Li's words fell, I said in a loud voice: "The minister is not guilty!" ”

"Bold Fang Jun, the evidence of the crime is in this issue of "Datang Times Weekly", you dare to say that you are not guilty!" An imperial historian stood up and scolded me angrily, this old man is about sixty years old, his hands and feet are still very dexterous, and he will come out of the courtiers' ranks in three or five steps.

Yushi stood next to me and said angrily: "You are talking about the government in vain in this book. The theory of valuing commerce and suppressing agriculture is fundamentally to reverse the foundation of our dynasty. Shinong industry and commerce are from their origins, and they can't complain. "Guanzi Xiaokuang": "The four people of Shinong, industry and commerce, the stone (pillar stone) of the country are also the people." "Huainan Ziqi Folk Training": "It is a person who is not an official, an official who is not a businessman, a farmer who is a businessman, a farmer who is different from another state, who is a farmer and a farmer, a man who speaks and acts, a man who speaks skillfully, and a man who speaks a few words." This has been a rule for thousands of years, and you cannot be allowed to talk about it. ”

"Hehe, delusional? Dare to ask my lord, Fang Mou is a five-grade ...... court" I sneered, stood in front of this old guy, and coldly looked down at this old man who was full and had nothing to smoke: "Talking about the government is the duty, how can there be a presumptuous discussion, Shinong industry and commerce are the four people, I have clearly written in this weekly, have I turned the position of the four people around?" Besides, since my Zhenguan Dynasty, scholars have the way of imperial examinations, farmers have the benefits of farming and raising mulberry and weaving silk, workers have the merit of building and building utensils, and business has the way of trading with agriculture and workers. If what I write is not about business, should I still talk about agriculture, scholars, and work? So, who will read such an inappropriate article?! ”

----------------------------------------------------------- immediately provoked a burst of laughter from the courtiers, Uncle Cheng was very happy to hold the jade plate and collide with his hand, this is the meaning of agreeing with my words, the sound of the moment, the sound of the jade board high-fives is endless, Uncle Li is still leaning on the dragon chair, still looking like I don't speak, watching you perform.

"The old man also wants to ask Master Fang, my Datang rules the world with filial piety, the initiator, filial piety, and benevolence, is for my Datang to govern the world with benevolence, but Lord Fang goes abroad to preach the importance of business and profit, isn't it against the way of the sage? Confucius once said: A gentleman is a man of righteousness, and a villain is of profit. Another heavyweight jumped out, this is the counselor Chu Suiliang, this old guy is not good, he has a sharp mouth every day, and he writes a good hand, and he is very trusted by Uncle Li, but, who asked you to come to me, a year ago, I may not be your opponent, and now, standing in front of Chu Suiliang, is a well-versed and knowledgeable person? No, to the next year and many years from now, the super debater.

Besides, I said this when I was teaching Li Zhi and them, didn't I come to the door to find a smoke? I smiled and replied very calmly: "A gentleman has a man who sacrifices his life for righteousness, and in other words, he has nothing to desire for life and nothing more evil than death. The righteousness of what it says is just, and I don't know that the benefits are for the sake of the benefits, and the villain is the opposite. ”

Before Chu Suiliang could refute, Uncle Li applauded first: "Okay, Fang Aiqing's words, I have heard you tell the King of Jin, it is very good, the interests of a gentleman are different from the interests of a villain, so the benefits of a gentleman are not the benefits of a villain." ”

At this moment, Chu Suiliang couldn't help but be stunned, there was no way, Uncle Li said it, and I also explained the meaning very clearly, Chu Suiliang couldn't argue even if he wanted to, Chu Suiliang glanced at his eyes: "Mencius once said, why bother with profit, benevolence and righteousness." I am a dignified Tang Dynasty, why bother to make profits? Doesn't Your Majesty also rule the country with benevolence and filial piety? "These words came at me again with guns and sticks, and it was still the same problem, but there was another saint, and the so-called change of soup is not a change of medicine.

I still stood in place and saluted to this Master Chu very chicly: "My lord's words, in fact, your old man has understood the wrong sage's words. ”
