Chapter 201

That night, the lights in Xiao He's room were lit all night.

At noon the next day, Xiao He came out of the room.

At this time, Qin Yu happened to cook a table of meals, and Zhao Ling'er and Li Yue were also there.

Seeing Xiao He's haggard face and a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, compassion suddenly rose, after all, Xiao He still looked like a child.

"Xiao He, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ling'er hurriedly got up and helped Xiao He sit down.

Li Yue also asked with concern, "Is there something uncomfortable?" Why are you so emaciated? ”

"It's fine." Xiao He waved his hand angrily, and then took out a few pieces of paper.

After several transformations, the paper production process has now been popularized and used throughout Cangxian County.

"My lord, this is what I sorted out last night, you can take a look."

Qin Yu put down the dish he had just served, and then took the paper handed by Xiao He.

"What is this?" Li Yue asked.

"Don't worry, we'll show you when we're sure." Qin Yu waved his hand, and his gaze never left the paper in his hand.

After Qin Yu saw it, he was a little surprised, this turned out to be Xiao He's one night.

Regarding the idea that Qin Yu said yesterday, Xiao He made some improvements.

After seeing this, Qin Yu once again realized that he was naïve, he was simply too idealistic.

Regarding Qin Yu's idea of completely exempting from taxes, Xiao He still insisted on opposing it, and explained the reason.

If taxes are completely exempted, the people will feel that they deserve it in the future.

Later, if there is a problem with the treasury of Cangxian County and wants to re-levy taxes, even if it is very low, the people will be suspicious and even resist.

This is the root of human inferiority! Qin Yu sighed secretly in his heart.

Xiao He's idea for this is that taxes can be lowered, and even tax exemption policies can be carried out for a year or half a year, which can also attract a large number of people.

As for the status of merchants, Xiao He directly made a detailed plan for the social status of Shinong industry and commerce.

Of course, Xiao He did not mention the word status, but there are clear regulations and annotations for the welfare of these four classes.

In this era, there was only a vague division about the social status of Shinong industry and commerce.

And Xiao He did directly make a clear division.

Seeing this division, Qin Yu frowned, and said directly: "Regarding Shinong Industry and Commerce, I have a somewhat different opinion. ”

"Although you didn't say it explicitly, you have made it clear that scholars have the highest status, farmers are second, workers are inferior, and merchants are the lowest."

Xiao He nodded, this was Xiao He's original concept, so he didn't feel anything wrong.

Qin Yu shook his head and said, "This academy has priority in admitting the children of scholars, and it must be canceled." The admission of the college depends on the assessment, so that everyone has an equal opportunity. ”

"In addition, except for businessmen and their families, who cannot be officials, Shinong and industrialists should be in a state of equality, and they should not engage in privileges or discrimination."

"Even, we must lower the status of officials and non-commissioned officers and suppress those who are officials."

Hearing Qin Yu's words, the three of them all frowned slightly.

Since ancient times, the status of scholars has been very high, mainly to retain these talents and serve themselves.

Therefore, the consequence of suppressing officials and non-commissioned officers is that it is difficult to attract talents, and they will even be hated by these people.

Xiao He frowned and said: "My lord, if you suppress the status of an official and a sergeant, then I'm afraid no one will dare to come here to serve your lord." ”

Qin Yu said coldly: "Those who are officials are already higher than ordinary people in terms of power, if they don't suppress them, the people will not be ordinary people in their eyes, but subordinates, subordinates who beat and scold at will." ”

"If the scholars are all officials for this purpose, then there is no need for them."

Qin Yu got up and said: "I only have one sentence, those who are officials should take serving the people of Li as the foundation, and if they can't do it, don't be an official." ”

Xiao He looked at Qin Yu stunned, and then frowned and pondered.

Li Yue also thought for a moment, and then said: "Everyone in the world is selfish, and what you said is too idealistic. ”

Qin Yu nodded, naturally knowing that this was indeed too idealistic.

"Of course, that's our goal, and it's okay to make the necessary compromises for the sake of development."

"At that time, we had to draw a bottom line, officials were not greedy, lazy, or self-sufficient, and there was no discrimination between officials and the people, and there was no superiority or inferiority."

"Gollum~"

At this time, Xiao He's stomach rang.

Zhao Ling'er, who had been listening to the side, hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't think about it yet, the dishes are going to be cold, eat first." ”

"Well, let's eat first." Qin Yu nodded and said.

In fact, Qin Yu also has a headache now, and he doesn't want to talk about it now.

The main reason is that in the doubts between Xiao He and Li Yue, Qin Yu felt that his knowledge was shallow.

As he spoke, he had a feeling that he couldn't answer and couldn't speak clearly, if it wasn't for the loud voice, he would be able to hear his heart empty.

If he continued to talk about it, Qin Yu felt that he should talk nonsense, and then he would be exposed.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu stopped the chopsticks in his hand.

"Xiao He, this is just a general idea of mine, after all, what you are writing now must not be perfect enough."

"If what I say can't be done, then use your ideas."

Hearing Qin Yu's compromise, Xiao He was a little surprised, but there was a hint of firmness in his eyes.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will think about it in the next few days, and I will definitely satisfy my lord!" After Xiao He finished speaking, he took a big bite of the rice.

For Xiao He, I haven't felt such passion for a long time, and I'm even a little excited!

Looking at Xiao He's somewhat crazy eyes, Zhao Ling'er frowned and said, "Xiao He, you have to pay attention to rest, you are still young, don't be tired of taking on such a big thing." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I know it myself." Xiao He said without raising his head.

Since the relationship between Qin Yu and Zhao Ling'er was confirmed, Xiao He has always called Zhao Ling'er sister-in-law.

After eating, Xiao He ran back to the room.

Zhao Ling'er glared at Qin Yu, "Such a big thing, you just leave it to Xiao He to do, he is still a child, what should I do if he is tired." ”

Qin Yu didn't care, others didn't know, but Qin Yu knew.

Xiao He looks like a little kid, but his soul is an old thing that has lived for decades.

When it comes to ability and knowledge, the three of them combined may not necessarily be comparable to him.

After Qin Yu finished eating, Qin Yu returned to the study, took a few pieces of paper, and then was about to go out.

"Where are you going?" Seeing this, Li Yue asked.

"Go do something, what's the matter?" Qin Yu asked.

"I'll go with you!" Li Yue walked quickly towards Qin Yu.

Zhao Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yueyue, didn't you say that you wanted to go to the Chamber of Commerce with me?" ”

"No, I'm going to see what this guy is going to do!" Li Yue said and ran out with Qin Yu.

Zhao Ling'er looked stunned, then stomped her foot angrily, and then ran out.

"Wait for me, I'm going to see it too!" Zhao Ling'er's voice faded away.
