Fusu smiled faintly.

The reaction of the courtiers did not surprise him.

The reason is actually very simple. The business pie is growing so fast that many people are jealous.

The reason why they united and put pressure on the court was simply to hope that Fusu would give in and allow them to participate in the distribution of the business pie.

But they were simply overthinking it.

Fu Su and Ying Zheng, father and son, have one thing in common.

That is the domineering spirit that comes from the core.

It is absolutely impossible for Ying Zheng or Fu Su to give in.

In history, the only one who could compare with the Qin Dynasty in its domineering spirit was the Ming Dynasty, which was known for its staunchness.

As for the Han and Tang Dynasties, although they were glorious for a while, half of their spines were broken directly by a marriage.

Of course, not all courtiers are jealous.

For example, Li Si is relatively pure.

He still has a typical Legalist concept. He feels that businessmen are too frivolous. Once it becomes the climate, it will easily cause impetuousness and shake the country's foundation.

Although this man is a bit power-minded, what he really wants to do is to do a good job in Da Qin so that he can gain a name in history and slap the faces of those who once looked down on him.

Overall, he is a pretty good prime minister.

Therefore, Fusu ignored the clamoring officials and looked directly at Li Sidao:"Li Xiangke has read"Tian Law" and"Shang Jun Law"》?"

"Why does Your Highness ask this question?"

Li Sileng said after a moment.

As a representative of Legalism and Prime Minister Zuo, he could recite all the laws of the Qin Dynasty by heart.

Many laws were simply additions, deletions and modifications made by Li Si. How could he not know about them?

"So I would like to ask Li Xiang, why does the"Tian Law" stipulate the time for hunting and fishing? Fusu asked

"Naturally, this is to avoid depleting the lake for fishing and burning the common people for farming. There will be no animals next year."

Li Si blurted out unintentionally.

"Since Prime Minister Li knew this, why did he still increase business taxes?"

"Although business development is gradually growing nowadays, it is still far from reaching the fastest speed. The reason is that many wealthy families are still waiting and watching for fear of changes."

"At this time, it is time to give this group of people a reassurance so that they can muster the courage to invest in business so as to make the entire pool bigger."

"However, Prime Minister Li openly proposed to increase commercial taxes by three to five times!"

"Don't say it is so exaggerated. Even if it is increased by one cent, businessmen who are very sensitive to interests will notice that something is wrong. The people watching will give up their thoughts. Many people who originally invested will also find ways to withdraw."

"At that time, the business pool will not only not increase, but will gradually shrink, gradually returning to an even smaller level than before, or even drying up!"

"Please do some calculations, Mr. Li. Is it more than 10% of 100,000 yuan, or more than 30% of 20,000 yuan?"

Fusu looked at Li Sidao with a smile.

"this?"

Li Si opened his mouth, but for a long time, he couldn't say anything else.

Fusu's argument could not have been explained more thoroughly, and he quoted arguments from Da Qin's current laws, which Li Si could not refute at all.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

This son was indeed a master of the art of war. He was very proficient in using his spear to counterattack his shield.

Li Si was immediately dumbfounded when he pressed him.

You know, Li Si is a famous eloquent talent in the entire Qin Dynasty. Even Ying Zheng sometimes cannot speak to Li Si.

Now that he sees his son so outstanding, Ying Zheng is very happy and satisfied.

"Does Li Qing have any other opinions?"

Ying Zheng said with a smile on his face.

"Sir, I have no objection!"

Li Si glanced at Fusu depressedly and nodded helplessly.

"Where are the other lovers?"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and looked at the rest of the people.

The courtiers were stunned.

What Ying Zheng meant was obvious. If they continue to oppose at this time, aren't they looking for trouble?

Moreover, Fusu has continuously pushed Gu The officials from the Liang faction and Li Si were speechless. Who dared to confront Fusu?

They all looked at each other and couldn't say anything.

However, when they were asked to express their agreement, they were reluctant.

They could only choose to acquiesce.

"Your Majesty, what His Highness the Crown Prince said is very reasonable, but the treasury is still not sufficient, which is a real problem. How about asking His Highness to give us some advice?"

Right Minister Feng Quji took a step forward and said.

Fusu cursed secretly in his heart.

This old fox can stand in the court for many years and he really has two brushes.

These few words not only show his kindness to Fusu, but also show his kindness to Fusu. It gave those officials a step to worry about the increase in treasury revenue, and there were people inside and outside.

Ying Zheng immediately looked at Fusu again.

Although he was very satisfied with Fusu's performance, the Great Qin treasury was still not sufficient. This was also The truth.

Although potatoes and cement are both powerful tools for filling the national treasury, it will take time to promote them.

Especially for potatoes, it will take at least a year to promote them to the entire Daqin.

In the past, it would only take a year to get through it. It has passed.

But now Ying Zheng is thinking about how to conquer the world every day. He is really a little anxious.

"Isn't this method already being implemented now? Fusu looked at Ying Zheng with a smile and said:"

This time, I am targeting businessmen from all over the world and letting them participate in the major workshops controlled by the imperial court. In addition to promoting business development, it is also to solve the treasury problem.""

"You know, many of these businessmen have accumulated wealth for generations. Once they are all withdrawn and invested in the construction of workshops, the amount will definitely exceed the imagination of everyone here!"

"And once the major workshops are successfully put into production, it will be a steady source of wealth. By then, do we still need to worry about the national treasury not being abundant?"

"If the father wants to speed up the development of business again, he can choose the outstanding contributors based on the amount of taxes paid by the merchants and give certain rewards!"

"For example, in the"Shang Jun Law", farmers can obtain the title of Duke by paying thousands of stones of grain! Fusu said with a faint smile.

"Public servant?"

"The lowest military title?"

"merchant?"

"Does this policy go against precedent?"

"How could a merchant become an official?"

"It’s just a title, why not?"

There were whispers in the court again, but this time, the opposition was much smaller.

Who said they couldn't argue with Fusu at all?

At this time, after Fusu glanced at the courtiers, he threw out again Killer!
