The prime ministers of the various guilds below looked at it, and they all looked at Xia Hongsheng again.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and asked, "Are you willing to be exploited by the countries of the Western Regions?" ”

"I don't know if Childe has a way?" Someone asked at the bottom.

"It's a very simple solution, but you have to work together." Xia Hongsheng paused and said, "The solution is two words, increase the price!" Not only does it have to go up, but it has to go crazy, not only does it have to go crazy, but it has to go crazy with all industries! It's so big that no one can afford it! ”

Everyone below looked at each other.

"Childe, what kind of way is this? At present, although the caravan has been exploited in the Western Regions, it can still earn some back. This price increase is so high that no one can afford it, and that's not a trap for their own family. "There is no shortage of people who speak directly at the bottom, even if they ask out.

Xia Hongsheng naturally expected them to ask this question, so he smiled again: "In recent years, although Datang has not said it explicitly, the restrictions on business have been looser than ever. His Majesty attaches equal importance to agriculture and commerce, and encourages business on the premise of ensuring farming. In the future, even if it is a large business limit, it is very likely. And the influence of the Tang Dynasty among the countries of the world is getting bigger and bigger, and in the future, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty will only have more and not less foreign trade. On land to the west, there is only one way. The countries of the Western Regions, each country is a card. Do you want to be elbowed by the countries of the Western Regions in the future, or do you want to solve this problem once and for all, and don't have to worry about it again in the future? ”

"Once and for all?" Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and said: "Although the countries of the Western Regions are weak, they are also more than a dozen countries in the end, and every country they go to, they have to exploit the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, how can Gongzi completely solve these things?" ”

Xia Hongsheng raised his head, smiled coldly, and slowly spit out two words: "Destroy the country." ”

"What?!" Everyone below was extremely shocked and looked at Xia Hongsheng in a daze. Then, some people were expressionless, and some people laughed loudly.

"This boy is a little ...... when he speaks," a leader at the bottom spoke, but before he finished speaking, he was suddenly pulled and interrupted.

The man was stunned for a moment, but saw the other leader beside him arched his hand and smiled: "Old boy is bold, dare to ask this son's surname?" ”

Hearing the old man's question, the person who had just been pulled by him seemed to suddenly remember something, his face changed slightly, and there was a touch of gratitude in his eyes when he looked at the old man.

When everyone heard the old man's question, they also figured it out. Although they don't know the identity of this person, he is young, and he is the owner of the winery, glass workshop and Mingxiangju, so it must not be simple. Looking at those noble sons and daughters, who are willing to sit under them, it can be seen that their status must not be low. If it was just an ordinary young man who claimed to want the small country in the Western Regions to destroy the country, they would naturally think that he was arrogant. In fact, that's exactly what they were thinking.

But the old man's question made them consider the previous ones, and now they had doubts about the identity of this person, so they felt that he was arrogant in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it for the time being.

The man who spoke just now also thought of this stubble after being reminded of this. If a person who has the ability to be the proprietor of these industries such as wine workshops, glass workshops, and Mingxiangju, and speaks the words of destroying the country, then his identity is debatable. He was about to say arrogant just when he opened his mouth, if he hadn't been pulled back, in case he said it, and this son was a person of great status, he would have offended people. Therefore, after figuring it out, he gave a grateful look to the old man who pulled him and blocked his words.

"Rude, rude. It's not clear in the next sentence. Xia Hongsheng, who was on the first seat, listened to the old man's words, smiled, and said: "However, it is not arrogant to say that the country will be destroyed below." There are not many kingdoms that have been destroyed under it, but there are a few. ”

"Hehe, everyone, a certain mouth, the person in front of you has destroyed the Turks, destroyed the Japanese state, recovered Liaodong, destroyed Linyi, destroyed Tuyuhun, and also destroyed Tubo." Liu Renshi smiled and said.

"What?!" Everyone below was shocked and stunned.

"Your Excellency, could it be that the young master of the crown prince of the dynasty, the prince of Jingyang County, and the grandfather of Xia?!" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then guessed Xia Hongsheng's identity, and he didn't know whether he was excited or shocked, his body trembled, his voice trembled, and he hurriedly asked.

"No, it's just down there." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Do you still think that I am arrogant with those two words?" ”

"Sure enough, it's Grandpa Xia!" The old man actually stood up excitedly.

Xia Hongsheng is a legendary figure, and his name is unknown to everyone in Changchang. But these people didn't usually get a chance to meet him. But although they didn't have the opportunity to see it, it didn't delay their admiration for Xia Hongsheng in their hearts. Not to mention that Xia Hongsheng has made so many real achievements, just advocating equal emphasis on agriculture and commerce and promoting commerce is enough to make them grateful to Xia Hongsheng - that is the great savior of businessmen!

"Isn't Grandpa going to use troops against the countries of the Western Regions?" Below, even if someone shouted: "My porcelain guild is willing to call on merchants to donate money to the war!" ”

"My grain bank is willing to donate money and grain!"

"We are also willing to donate money!"

Everyone below thought that Xia Hongsheng had summoned them to donate money to the army that had conquered the Western Regions, so they all began to shout. The businessman's mind was full of energy, and he knew that if it was true that the countries of the Western Regions returned to the Tang Dynasty, then the convenience they would receive in the future would far exceed what they donated today. In addition, it is not uncommon for Xia Hongsheng to ask businessmen to donate. Weihe Park, as well as those public schools in Jingyang, were all donated by businessmen, and who could not see the benefits obtained by those merchants who participated in the donation? Therefore, I know that donating money to Xia Hongsheng is not a waste, so I am very willing.

Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

When it was quiet below, Xia Hongsheng smiled again: "The Tang Dynasty performed the expedition, first there were Turks, then there were Wa Kingdoms, then Linyi, then Liaodong, and Tuyuhun and Tubo. Your Majesty now only hopes that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and live in peace, and cannot bear to start another expedition. Therefore, today I am not asking you to donate, let alone sending troops to conquer the countries of the Western Regions. ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng's words, everyone below was stunned again.

Ouch, I can't figure it out!

"That grandfather just said that he wanted to destroy the country...... just now the old man was puzzled and saluted again, and asked: "If you don't send troops, how can you destroy the country?" ”

Xia Hongsheng raised his eyebrows and glanced around with a smile, paused, and said in a very demagogic voice: "Everyone, are you willing to make the next effort to expand the territory and open up the country?" ”
