Chapter 218: Liaring People Is Puppy 4
But she naturally couldn't say such thoughts.
"No, I just think that this emperor is really confused, how can he encircle a country like this and live his own life? This big country is like a small family, speaking of a nature, closing one's own door and not communicating with outsiders, such a family will only get poorer and poorer. This is an ironclad fact of Chinese history.
"Sister-in-law, don't say such things in the future, if you are heard, you will be killed!" Xiao Tong only stared at him in fright, he really didn't expect Su Wanniang to say such a thing as the emperor being confused in front of people.
Fortunately, only he and Mrs. Su are there now, if they are heard by the people in the government, it will be worth it! If you don't die, you have to shed your skin.
"Got it." Su Wanniang covered her mouth, she really didn't get used to the customs here for a while, her speech was not free, and the emperor was not allowed to talk about anything.
With another sigh, Su Wanniang said, "But this ...... Nowadays, the people pay heavy taxes, if the development of commerce, the treasury is full, the taxes of the peasant people can be reduced, and the lives of ordinary people are naturally better, but now it is the tax of the people, the people are not happy, and there are many complaints, in case of a disaster year, the treasury will not be able to take out the silver for disaster relief, and there will be no silver to put into the treasury? What if someone takes the opportunity to rob and fight in chaos in a disaster year? ”
"This is not something we have to worry about~" The child is young, Su Wanniang may not be able to understand what he said, anyway, he only knows that nowadays, he has food and clothing.
"Therefore, the people have been pinning their trust on God not to have seizures all year round." Su Wanniang shook her head, she is not a person who does big things, so it is useless to think more, all she has to think about now is to find business opportunities and find an opportunity to develop her career, so how the country wants really has nothing to do with her.
Outside the door, Han Sheng and Kong Zhishu listened to all the conversations between Su Wanniang and Xiaotong, and their eyes were full of surprise, it was hard to imagine that Su Wanniang, an ordinary peasant woman, would say such an unbelievable thing.
Throughout the ages, businessmen have always been regarded as the lowest profession by people, so the emperor does not value businessmen at all, and even deliberately suppresses them.
As Su Wanniang said, the current situation in the palace is like this, the treasury is empty, and the taxes collected are only enough to maintain about a year's expenses.
But many times, everything has to be guarded against.
With the current situation of the national treasury, if there is a catastrophe year, if the people have to wait for the treasury to open a warehouse for disaster relief, it is estimated that a large number of people will starve to death.
The people are alive or the country is complete.
After all, the world is scattered, and everyone is staring at the surrounding countries and wants to unify the country as a hegemon, so everyone knows that it will die while it is sick.
Han Sheng suddenly hooked his lips and sighed lightly, "Brother Kong, you fat lady, it's not simple. ”
"Brother Han smiled, and in the woman's opinion, she is also capable of this." Kong Zhishu smiled faintly, although his words were a little modest, but his expression was as unfathomable as Han Sheng, and in fact, he also had some thoughts and opinions about Su Wanniang's words.
Han Sheng looked at Kong Zhishu deeply, seemed to be smiling, and then pushed the door and walked in.
"Brother and sister, what you said just now makes some sense, listening to your brother and sister, it seems that you have read some books? I don't know what my younger siblings have read before? Han Sheng walked towards Su Wanniang, bent over, and was courteous.
