The willow wind rises, the apricot blossoms rain fall, and the fine rain finally begins to dye Chang'an.

On the Suzaku Square outside the Weiyang Palace, I don't know when it began, hundreds of people gathered. They prostrated themselves in front of the steps, letting the rain wet their clothes, but no one cared.

The man named Bu Shi wore a simple dress and followed the crowd quietly, although his face was flat, his heart was like many people, and his blood was boiling.

Several of the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty deeply learned the lessons of the fall of the Qin Dynasty and regarded listening to the voices of the people as an important policy of governance. There is a "Dengwen Drum" on the Suzaku Street Square, no matter what kind of person it is, if there is indeed a good suggestion or opinion for the country, you can beat the drum to smell, and the imperial court has a special relevant official, after reviewing and screening, the emperor will be played according to the truth.

In the spring rain of Chang'an, the "Book of Words and Commerce" held by the representatives of the big businessmen at the front sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, which was written by Bu style. Today, they collectively petition here, just to spread the voice in the hearts of all private businessmen to the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace and to the ears of today's son.

At this moment, on the Hanyuan Palace, a heart-warming remark is coming to an end. Many people have never closed their mouths that have been opened in shock.

“…… This is the way things in the world, there is no way out of the old ways, the so-called not broken, only by breaking those rigid rules and regulations, can we find a new way out, and can we always maintain innovation and undefeated...... If we don't understand the truth that time shifts and things change, and we hold on to the remnants of the temple and do not adapt to the development of the general situation in the world, then even if our Han army is powerful, conquer all directions to expand the territory, and achieve more victories, not only will it not help to enhance the national strength, but will drag down the family foundation that has been accumulated with great difficulty, and bring immeasurable serious consequences. By that time, it will be too late to regret ......! ”

"You, you're alarmist! Your Majesty, don't listen to this kid's demagoguery, he doesn't think about his own interests when he pulls out these big truths...... Besides, our Great Han Treasury Mansion is sufficient, and it can fully afford the needs of the army. Even if there is something lacking in the future, as long as Your Majesty adopts the few measures I have offered to restrict the behavior of merchants, and returns the authority of wealth management under the authority of the Central Treasury to the Central Treasury, it will be absolutely foolproof. ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang mustered up the last fighting spirit and severely criticized Yuan Zhao a few words. Whether it is for public or private purposes, he very much hopes that the emperor can adopt his own proposal, and still follow the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business during the period of Emperor Wenjing, and a round of high-pressure crackdown on the business practices that have flourished in recent years is the right way.

Yuan Zhao bared his teeth at Zhang Tang, this old guy was very persistent. The ministers who had fought against him had already lost their heads, and he launched a new attack. In that case, let him down completely today! Therefore, when he saw the emperor's eyes looking at him with some hesitation, Yuan Zhao looked up to the sky and laughed.

"When I came to the court this morning, I heard a joke on the road. Your Majesty, Ministers, do you know what it is?"

Naturally, everyone was confused, and they didn't understand what he was going to say.

"Yuanqing, don't talk about topics that have nothing to do with what we are discussing today. What do you think of what Dr. Yu Shi just said? ”

Emperor Liu Che was afraid that he would say something unbelievable, so he hurriedly intercepted his words. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhao was unmoved, arched his hand upward, and continued to talk about himself.

"Your Majesty, if you continue to listen to it, you will immediately understand that what the minister said has a lot to do with what the Imperial Doctor said! Because, the minister heard that Lord Zhang Tang's mansion has been out of food for several days. When he came to the court this morning, he didn't even have breakfast, and he still has an empty stomach. Hehe! ”

Hearing him say this, many people's eyes turned to Zhang Tang in surprise, and sure enough, they heard a few hungry sounds of "grunt, grunt" in the air. I couldn't help but look at each other and feel puzzled.

Zhang Tang was dizzy with hunger, but his stomach rang at this time, everyone in the Hanyuan Hall had heard it, his old face was flushed, if there was a crack in the ground at this time, it was estimated that he would immediately drill down.

"Doctor Yushi, what's going on?"

The emperor felt even more strange, Zhang Tang, as the third prince of the imperial court, was rich, when did his family become so poor? I can't even eat!

"The old minister, the old minister is ashamed! Your Majesty...... These are all those hateful merchants in Chang'an City, who heard about the minister's proposal, and did not know who instigated them, so they united and stopped the supply of grain, rice and vegetables to the old minister's mansion. It's hateful! Please ask Your Majesty to make the decision and make a decree to punish these businessmen, otherwise you may not be emboldened in the future! ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Tang is completely to blame! Why didn't this happen in other adults' houses? No matter how big or small, things in the world are like this, if someone wants to cut off someone else's way of life, others will naturally not let him have a way to live, which is very fair! ”

Yuan Zhao immediately stood up and spoke righteously. This was originally a small punishment and a big commandment, so that everyone in the court realized the power of the people, but they couldn't let Zhang Tang pretend to be pitiful and win sympathy. It is not allowed to arouse some other suspicions in the emperor's heart.

Sure enough, the emperor's brow, which had just been furrowed, relaxed again, nodded, and motioned for the two of them to have any opinions to continue the debate, he was eager to hear what the pros and cons of strengthening commercial control were.

After such a long period of verbal warfare, Zhang Tang, who was left alone to fight against Yuan Zhao, was simply exhausted! He wanted to shout, Lao Tzu was very hungry, he was so hungry that he had no strength!

Yuan Zhao didn't care about his life or death. Looking at the dying Da Zongzheng, as well as those dejected ministers, I couldn't help but be in high spirits and high morale. Straighten your chest and continue to speak, and continue to follow the big truths one by one!

After a long time, after he explained that the Han Dynasty had reached the best time to "focus on agriculture and transform into agriculture and commerce", some people began to praise and give light applause in the silent Hanyuan Palace.

"Yuanqing, what you said seems to have some truth...... Is it true that the proportion of business activities will become more and more important? ”

Emperor Liu Che actually realized in his heart how important the circulation of commodities brought great wealth to the inner treasury was, but the national policy based on agriculture had become a fixed understanding for a hundred years, and it was always a little hesitant to change it overnight.

Before Yuan Zhao could answer, General Yulin, who hurriedly walked in to report the news, finally entered the palace gate. A large number of Chang'an businessmen braved the rain and beat the drum, wanting to enter the book of ten thousand words. His Majesty the Emperor, please, preview.

"Huh! Your Majesty, they have come just in time. These people will be able to give the most complete and accurate answers to the questions you ask. Your Majesty, please take a look. ”

Yuan Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time applauded the courage of the businessmen in this era. After all, it is a great danger to petition and go directly to the Holy Hearing. Looking at the past 5,000 years, not to mention that the dynasties of the past dynasties could have such freedom, even in the era in which he once lived, it was not easy to fight for the rights and interests of his group in front of those in power. They were able to get this step today, and no matter what, they have to do their best to help them achieve what they want.

The book of 10,000 words is copied on a long brocade silk, and the writer's penmanship is rigorous, and the choice of words and sentences is obviously carefully considered. Emperor Liu Che only glanced at it, and then ordered the attendants around him to read it out to all the officials in the palace, and everyone came to listen together.

Generally speaking, the meaning of the whole book of ten thousand words is to discuss in detail the great role of commercial development in the circulation of goods in the world and the state's fiscal revenue. According to the personal experience of the merchants, the various data are written in detail. The contributions they have made to their respective counties and counties, as well as the role they have played in addressing the livelihood of local people, are all well-founded and convincing.

And not only that, but after consultation, the merchants took the initiative to ask the imperial court to formulate reasonable taxes. Yuan Zhao peeked at it, and when the emperor heard this, his eyes were shining, and sure enough, this was what he wanted to see the most.

At the end of the Book of Ten Thousand Words, the signatures include the Handan Guo family, the Yanbei Nie family, the Qi Lu Cheng family, the Xu Zhu family, as well as the Shuzhong Zhuo family, the Nanjun Zheng family and other world-famous tycoons. It can be said that what these people represent is already where the interests of more than half of the world's businessmen lie.

"Wonderful! I never imagined that the merchants, as the end of the four people, would have such patriotic feelings. How can I not allow such a thing to benefit the country and the people! Quickly spread my message, so that these patriotic businessmen should go back and wait as soon as possible, so as not to get sick in the rain. I will soon have a clear message to the world, so that they can relax. ”

Chrysostom Yuyan, the final word! The chamberlain was immediately ordered to go out and convey it. His Majesty the Emperor, who has always had an ambiguous attitude from the beginning of the entire court meeting to the present, was unusually crisp at the moment when he finished reading the Book of Ten Thousand Words in the palace.

Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang finally lost his fighting spirit completely. Hunger combined with the pain of defeat made him bow his head deeply, like a defeated rooster, like the ministers who secretly calculated the loss of property.

"Your Majesty! If you are so virtuous, you will definitely be able to cover the three kings, Debi Yao Shun, and become the king of the ages! This is the blessing of the community, and the blessing of all the people! ”

Since you are going to stand in this court from today onwards, you still have to learn the necessary sycophants. Especially in the face of Liu Che, an emperor who likes to tout his great achievements, it is even more necessary.

Sure enough, hearing the first heartfelt praise from this young courtier who had repeatedly done miraculous things in his eyes, Emperor Liu Che was overjoyed, he laughed and stood up.

"That's the end of today's pilgrimage. Yuanqing, from the next court meeting, you are not allowed to be absent without reason! That Shang Shuling's seat has been empty for a long time....... ”
