Hearing Su Shi's words, Qin Zhidao slapped his thigh violently, his expression became a little excited, and he said loudly: "The virtuous nephew said this very much, in this way, there will be no usury in the world, and it should be a move to benefit the people." ”

He was in charge of one side, so he naturally knew the pain of this usury. Although Daqian seems to be a prosperous era at present, seven or eight out of ten of the world's wealth is in the hands of wealthy families. Although the living standards of the common people have improved, they are far from being rich.

In good years, the people were able to support themselves, but in disaster years, they struggled and sometimes had to borrow money to get by.

However, as long as they get involved, the vast majority of people will not be able to pay it back at all, and the slightly better ones will have to sell their land and become tenants, and the worst one is to sell their children and daughters, and even their families will be ruined.

If the annual interest on borrowed goods is not allowed to exceed 6% according to the national policy, it is undoubtedly a great good thing for those people.

"This is a good policy, but I'm worried that it may not be able to pass the court?" Zhou Jin said on the side: "In addition to the pledge bank, wealthy families and even court officials have lent money. It is precisely because those ministers in the court and the central government saw that the eldest brother was only targeting the Qianqiu Treasury, so they did not speak out against it, and if the scope was expanded to all borrowing behaviors, I was afraid that there would be opposition, and even the eldest brother would be jealous. ”

Qin Zhidao also sighed: "The princess said very well, if it is not involved in her own interests, those ministers will naturally choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and even add fuel to the fire." However, as long as it harms its own interests, it will not stand idly by and watch, and will certainly oppose it with all its might. ”

Su Shi said with a smile: "Can't Your Majesty sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" ”

Zhou Jin was puzzled: "What does Childe mean?" ”

Su Shi said: "In order to deal with the Qianqiu Quality Library, the King of Qi will definitely rack his brains to cite scriptures to prove the legitimacy and correctness of this decree, and it must also be extremely harsh. He would even secretly entrap the minister and pass the decree in one fell swoop. And then His Majesty only needs to say lightly that all loans are carried out in accordance with this decree. ”

Qin Zhidao couldn't help but rejoice: "With the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker." Speaking of this, he muttered again: "And in this way, all the contradictions will be concentrated on the King of Qi." ”

Su Shi looked at Zhou Jin and said with a smile: "If this decree can be passed, the people will naturally applaud, and they will definitely praise Your Majesty as a benevolent king, and it can also make a crack appear in the camp that was originally monolithic." ”

Zhou Jin's beautiful eyes looked straight at Su Shi, she really wanted to know what was in the head of the person in front of her, it seemed that no problem could bother him.

It was originally a plan for the Qianqiu quality bank, but it allowed him to help him fight and turn it into a decree that benefits people's livelihood. And for his father, this decree can not only make him famous, but also allow him to benefit, and he will definitely support it with all his might. Even if the ministers disagree in the end, they will use their supreme power to pass the decree.

Zhou Jin asked again: "What is the follow-up plan?" ”

Su Shi said lightly: "When the decree is passed, it is the day when we implement the follow-up plan. ”

After Zhou Jin and Qin Zhidao got a satisfactory answer here in Su Shi, they saw that it was getting late, so they left one after another.

After sending them away, Su Shi felt a little tired because of a day of sightseeing, and was about to go back to his room to rest, when Lin Mo came to the front and said that the eldest prince had prepared wine and food in Xianhe Pavilion and wanted to have a few drinks with him.

Seeing that the eldest brother had such a Yaxing, Su Shi naturally would not sweep his excitement and walked straight towards the Xianhe Pavilion.

When he came to Xianhe Pavilion, Su Zhou was already pouring himself a drink, looking very uncomfortable.

Su Shi walked in front of him and sat down, looked at the eldest brother with a leisurely expression, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't the eldest brother not wanting to know what Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Qin are looking for me for?" ”

Su Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't want to." ”

Su Shi asked curiously, "Why?" ”

Su Zhou put down his wine glass and sighed: "They came to you together, naturally encountered tricky things, and I couldn't come up with any ideas, so why sit there and worry about myself." ”

Then he looked at Su Shi: "It's already solved?" ”

Su Shi poured himself a glass, then nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's better to drink with the eldest brother." ”

Su Zhou naturally wouldn't believe his words, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Qin came to find him together, how could there be no major incidents. However, when he saw Su Shi's relaxed face, he also knew that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved, so he didn't take it to heart.

Su Shi raised the wine and said, "The eldest brother is about to return to the border pass, and this glass of wine will give the eldest brother a smooth journey." ”

After the two of them drank it all, Su Shi couldn't help but ask, "When is the eldest brother going to leave?" ”

The wine will be higher than the alcohol that Su Zhou drank in the past, although he has been used to drinking for a while, but at this time, he drank a few more glasses, and his face was already a little drunk.

He squinted at Su Shi and smiled, "What? Disgusted with your eldest brother and want to drive me away? ”

Su Shi got up and poured a full wine for Su Zhou, and said, "Actually, I also miss my father a little, why don't I go to the border with you this time and come back after seeing my father?" ”

Su Zhou didn't expect him to have such a heart, he was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "If there is nothing to do in the capital, Your Majesty will thank you for your filial piety and will definitely agree." It's just that now is the critical moment, can you get out of it? ”

Su Shi sighed with emotion: "When you say this, it makes me miss the days when I had nothing to do before." ”

After the two brothers chatted for a few words and drank a few more glasses, Su Shi suddenly asked, "Father, is he in good health?" ”

Su Zhou was already five or six points drunk at this time, he looked at Su Shi drunk, and couldn't help laughing: "Father's body is like an iron beating, how can it be like you have no power to restrain a chicken." ”

However, Su Shi didn't have any smile on his face, and there was a faint worry in his eyes.

Even though Su Zhou was already drunk, his eyes were still sharp, and he looked at people in detail, and when he saw Su Shi's expression, he put away his smile, sat up straight again, and looked at him with a strange expression.

"Are you worried?"

Su Shi did not deny it.

Su Zhou was even more curious: "What are you worried about?" ”

Su Shi pressed his forehead with his fingers, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Originally, I couldn't understand why the prince told you to stay at the border pass, but now I probably know a little bit." ”

This matter has been lingering in Su Zhou's heart for many years, and he has never been able to understand it, but now Su Shi actually guessed the prince's intentions, which not only shocked him, but also made him ecstatic.

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?"

Su Shi looked directly at him and said slowly: "My father guards the north, and the Hu people are eyeing him, and there is no room for loss at the border pass." I guess what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means by saying that I hope you will protect your father. ”

Su Zhou was taken aback, and involuntarily stood up, with a look of horror on his face.

"You're worried that your father is in danger?"

Su Chang sighed: "Pei Hyun once said that there are still four people who can change the situation of Daqian in the future, and he will have time to get rid of them in the future, and I am worried that my father will be among them." ”
