Training Tai Sui

With a slap on Yang Guang's head, Qin Feng said unhappily: "You still dare to talk back, you say no, do those servants and maids have to get it for you? Or is it that your majesty and the empress think that there are few daughters and want to raise you up like a child?" woman?"

"A man should look like a man. Think about it. Could it be possible that the soldiers guarding northern Xinjiang did the same thing, forcing the Turks back by using incense? If the generals also do these things every day, the soldiers may be convinced , may think that such generals can lead them to win battles? If officials spend their minds on such things every day, can they still concentrate on helping the king and comforting the people?"

"Think about those celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, do you have to be a little more casual in the future, and then follow the example of the celebrities?"

It is not the first time for Yang Guang to experience Qin Feng's spraying skills, but he still feels dizzy. He really can't understand how Qin Feng regards incense and whether he can be a good general or a good official. And whether it will be connected with Wushisan, and there is no flaw in it.But he knew that if Qin Feng was allowed to continue spraying like this, he might not be the same until dinner.

"Brother Ziyu, is it okay for my younger brother to tell them not to buy these things?"

"Children can be taught." Qin Feng said with a look of relief: "If I smell your fragrance in the future... I have an allergic nose, and I want to hit someone when I smell that smell, you understand."

"Brother Ziyu, don't worry, I understand."

With a wry smile, Yang Guang reluctantly agreed.

Chapter 1: Yang Guang's Friend

The next day, when Yang Guang came to class again, Qin Feng found with satisfaction that he no longer had the smell of incense.

But Yang Guang could only smile wryly to himself. Last night he just told his clothes not to be incensed again. In the end, the servants and maids all pleaded guilty, and then Queen Dugu was alarmed. If Yang Jianjian was not too busy, the entire palace might be Such a small thing can make a mess.

Holding the pointer, Qin Feng lightly tapped on the table, and said loudly: "Class is over, today we are going to talk about scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen at the bottom, and the relationship between businessmen and Da Sui."

What is the relationship between merchants and Tai Sui?

Yang Guang and Wei Zheng looked at each other in blank dismay. From their point of view, a businessman, or rather a business, has no place at all, and there is no need to explain it.As for the relationship between merchants and Da Sui, how can a group of merchants influence Da Sui?

Qin Feng ignored the weird expressions of the two disciples, and said to himself: "A wealthy businessman has no country or nationality in his heart, and he puts profit first in everything."

Yang Guang and Wei Zheng deeply believed in this sentence. In this year, this view is also the mainstream, otherwise businessmen would not be ranked at the bottom of all classes.

But the two of them didn't understand why Qin Feng told them these things. Usually, what Qin Feng said was different from their cognition, and today they changed their sex?

"but..."

The simple two words made Yang Guang and Wei Zheng show such expressions.

"Businessmen are not useless. If Da Sui is compared to a person, then the businessman is Da Sui's blood, transporting all kinds of needed things to various places. Without them, Da Sui will get sick, and it will be a serious illness that can kill him!"

"Businessmen are very important. It is not without reason that the past dynasties have emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, but the effect is often not very good. In the foreseeable future, the wealthy merchants of the Sui Dynasty will have a profound impact on the government, and the so-called center, even some It may become the spokesperson of a wealthy businessman."

Yang Guang and Wei Zheng curled their lips. They felt that Qin Feng was too alarmist. What kind of people are there in the court? Is it possible for them to speak for wealthy merchants?

"Don't think it's impossible." Qin Feng seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, and said with an emphasis: "You must be thinking, what is the status of a businessman, how can those aristocratic families listen to their orders."

"That's true. Most people from aristocratic families look down on businessmen, but the question is, will anyone have trouble with money?"

"They look down on those businessmen, but they are businessmen themselves!"

"Ah Ying should know more about this." Qin Feng looked at Yang Guang and asked, "Even if there are aristocratic families, especially those with hundreds of years of history, even if someone is an official and has a reward from His Majesty, it may be too late." So extravagant?"

Yang Guang shook his head, Yang Jian was very generous to his courtiers, and gave him a lot of rewards during the New Year and festivals, but if he wanted to rely on these things to live the extravagant life of the aristocratic family, the rewards and salary were just a drop in the bucket.

"Where did they get the money?"

Yang Guang said thoughtfully: "Brother Ziyu, you mean, do business?"

"That's right!" Qin Feng said firmly: "Don't look at those officials' pious looks, but apart from corrupt officials, if you want to live a luxurious life, there is only one way to do business!"

"However, they cherish their feathers and often don't do it themselves. At this time, the offspring of the family are useful. They are born in offshoots and often have no chance to be officials, so they will take over these businesses and use them for the money of those aristocratic families. The family gives them asylum and exempts them from paying taxes by virtue of the official position of the head of the family, understand?"

"No taxation, and it is called not to compete with the people for profit. If you see someone who says such a thing in the court, no matter who it is, if that person is not stupid in reading, he is the spokesperson of a wealthy businessman. They care It's not the people at all, but themselves."

"Those wealthy merchants would even sell Da Sui for profit. They could trade with the Turkic people, and they could sell the ordnance, pig iron and even food that the Turkic people lacked in the grassland. After all, these are the easiest ways to get money."

"This is an aristocratic family, and the same is true for small families. It's just that they are incapable of betraying Da Sui, but the damage they caused to Da Sui is no less than that of these aristocratic families."

Qin Feng looked at Yang Guang and Wei Zheng with burning eyes, stretched out his hand to point out, and said with a smile: "Qinjiazhuang, you should all be familiar with it. There are countless Zhuangzi like that in the Sui Dynasty, but the question is, why are those farmers willing to become farmers?"

Yang Guang was a little dazed, so he needed a reason to become a farmer?

Wei Zheng said thoughtfully: "Men, but because you don't have to pay taxes?"

"That's right." Qin Feng nodded and said: "The law of the Sui Dynasty stipulates that the land of an official's family does not need to pay taxes. Although after becoming a farmer, the owner's family also has to extract some from the annual harvest, but it is more expensive than handing over the land. There are few people in the imperial court. This has led to countless people willing to take their own fields to the aristocratic family to be farmers."

"There will be more and more officials in the Sui Dynasty, and there will be more and more village households, but the people who pay taxes will be less and less. In addition to Ah Ying, you royal families will also increase. The fiefdoms of the Han Dynasty also do not pay taxes to the imperial court. If things go on like this, why do you think Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the order to extend grace?"

After a class, not only Yang Guang and Wei Zheng were restless and feverish, but even the two Ying Yang guards guarding the door were sweating profusely.

Now it's only the beginning of spring, and the weather is still a bit cold, but the backs of the two Yingyang guards are soaked.

This guy is not just giving eye drops to wealthy merchants, he is a powerful family member, court officials, royal family members, and even himself. To be honest, this is the first time they have seen such a ruthless person.

Yang Guang was a little out of his mind, and just after class, he dragged Qin Feng out.

"Brother Ziyu, I have a party today, and I want to meet two friends. Let's..."

In terms of strength, Qin Feng was really not the hand of Yang Guang who practiced martial arts on weekdays. While being pulled out by Yang Guang involuntarily, he confessed to Wei Zheng: "Xuan Cheng, go and tell your teacher's mother, just say that being a teacher is a good thing. The one who was taken away by this guy, and remember to tell your teacher's wife that you will definitely not go to any fireworks place as a teacher, don't let this sentence go..."

Wei Zheng looked at Yang Guang with a wry smile and Qin Feng, who was dragged away by Yang Guang with a reluctant face, quickly agreed, and obediently went to the backyard to tell Liu Wanting what Qin Feng had said.

"Husband is really too, will I still stop him and not allow him to go?"

The corners of Liu Wanting's mouth twitched, as if she was quite unconvinced after being considered a shrew, but the corners of her mouth turned up showed that her current mood was not as bad as her expression, and Wei Zheng even saw a smug look on her face.

Is it a hallucination?

Wei Zheng walked out of the backyard with question marks all over his face, he didn't understand what Liu Wanting was thinking at this time, he just felt that the women were really as the teacher said, you would never try to guess what they were thinking.

When Qin Feng followed Yang Guang to a restaurant, he saw two young men waiting in a private room.

"Brother Ziyu, this is Chen Guogong's second son, Dou Kang."

Dou Kang arched his hands in a gentle manner, with a faint smile on his face, which was not enthusiastic, but he did not reject people thousands of miles away.

"Who is this..."

Before Yang Guang could finish speaking, the other stood up and said, "Li Changya of a certain family is the son of the Li family in Liaodong, and my father is the Duke of Heyang County."

Yang Guang whispered in Qin Feng's ear: "This Li Changya has already made an engagement with my second sister, Princess Xiangcheng, and they will get married soon."

Consort?

Qin Feng glanced at Li Changya again, and saw that he was tall and resolute, and he looked like a typical warrior with a bright personality.

Yang Guang seemed to have known Li Changya's character for a long time, and he would soon become a relative, so he didn't say much, just pointed to Qin Feng, and said with a smile: "This is Qin Feng and Qin Ziyu. There are a lot of troubles in the house, so I rely on Brother Ziyu to take care of me."

Dou Kang looked at Qin Feng, a flash of disdain flashed in his heart, and he felt a little sour at the same time.You must know that his father is Yang Jian's brother-in-law and also the Duke of the state. If it wasn't because he was the second son and his father Chen Guogong's title was destined to have nothing to do with him, he would not have come to Yang Guang to bet on it.But Yang Guang's attitude just now clearly expressed closeness.
