When Shang Yan'er came to the palace in a hurry, she saw Zhao Lang sitting on the top seat of the palace making tea,

The mist is lingering, but it is somewhat relaxed and freehand.

This kind of clear tea is created by the other party, and the original oil and spices in the tea are removed,

Only use processed tea leaves, add a pot of boiled water, add the two together, but it has a different flavor.

This kind of tea is popular in the whole of Daqin nowadays.

It's just that she has no intention of tasting tea at all right now, so she took a deep breath, then quickly walked up to Zhao Lang, and directly saluted and said,

"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty."

Seeing this scene, the slave at the side quickly turned his head aside, pretending he didn't see what would happen next.

Because he knew that the imperial concubine Shang Yan'er had angered her master this time.

As for his master's means, he has been following the other party all these years, but he is too clear.

To put it simply, death is already an extremely benevolent method.

My master is good at killing the heart!

Soon, there was a soft sigh in the palace, and then Zhao Lang walked directly in front of Shang Yan'er, helped her up,

He seemed to say with some distress,

"You and I are married, what are you doing?"

"I made a pot of tea, you should taste it first and relax."

After speaking, he helped the other party to the seat next to him, and poured him a cup of tea on his own initiative.

It's just that Shang Yan'er, who is in the mood to drink tea at this time, looked at Zhao Lang with a calm face,

She couldn't help thinking of the other party, when he rescued her and killed the descendant of the Zongheng family, he always had such a calm and indifferent appearance.

But in fact, everything has already been arranged, and when it is activated, the opponent's enemy has already fallen into a mortal situation!

So he bit his lip and said directly,

"Your Majesty, Shang'er was arranged by his concubine and has nothing to do with him. He doesn't know the details."

"He only thought that the merchants would help him in order to make money."

Soon Shang Yan'er explained all the arrangements for the past few years without any concealment.

Finally said,

"All of this is the fault of my concubine, please punish me, Your Majesty."

After she finished speaking, Zhao Lang just said lightly at this time,

"Drink the tea first, it won't taste good when it gets cold later."

Only then did Shang Yan'er pick up the tea cup nervously, and drank it down in one gulp.

Just because I am too nervous, I have some tea. fell on him,

Before she could react, Zhao Lang stretched out his hand to clean it up for her.

Feeling the tenderness of the other party, Shang Yaner reluctantly calmed down a bit, and said,

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, Zhao Lang smiled wryly and said,

"Do you know why I never promised to be with you back then?"

At the beginning, he never agreed to the other party, but later, the other party used the entire business and spent a huge amount of money to support and help the people at the bottom.

He reluctantly let the other party get him.

Shang Yan'er showed a trace of disappointment on her face, she forced a smile and said,

"The concubine's appearance is average, so naturally she is not worthy of His Majesty."

Zhao Lang shook his head, although Shang Yaner's beauty was indeed inferior to that of Ji Wushuang, Mei, and Shaoyao.

But definitely above average.

"The reason why I didn't agree is because you are a pure businessman."

"If you don't enter the royal family, I'm sure I'll depend on you too."

"But now, what you have done has affected the succession of the royal family."

Back then when he was on the grassland, Zhao Lang had already seen it.

A woman who dared to take people to the grassland to make deals with the Huns, and used her body as a bargaining chip after encountering danger, was the only one in Daqin at that time!

Whether it's courage or ambition, ordinary men can't match it!

But such a person, in the royal family, is not a good thing.

If the other party is really allowed to use businessmen to influence the selection of succession within the royal family.

Then, it will be a disaster for the whole Daqin!

Hearing this, Shang Yaner explained with a trembling voice,

"Your Majesty, the merchants and I have absolutely no rebellious intentions! But now, the merchants and concubines below say,"

"The businessman bears the entire tax, more than half of Daqin, but the rights are not even comparable to a scholar."

"Everyone has some...doubts."

In fact, Shang Yan'er didn't think there was any problem with this. Now Daqin's business is extremely developed, and countless taxes are contributed by them.

But today's Great Qin has many restrictions on them.

This time they want to help Zhao Shang, if the other party can win the position of heir,

Then after the other party takes the position, the status of the businessman can rise significantly!

Otherwise, why do they work hard, but they don't have much say in Daqin!

Hearing Shang Yaner's words, Zhao Lang showed a trace of pity in his eyes, and said,

"You merchants really only see money, right?"

"Do you know what money is?"

Hearing this question, Shang Yan'er was stunned. What's the problem? ?

Finally, a somewhat confused answer,

"Money is naturally money, isn't it wealth?"

Zhao Lang shook his head firmly at this time and said,

"You businessmen always think that you have created wealth, but that's not the case!"

"The clothes made by the common people are wealth, but money is not!"

"The food grown by the common people is wealth, but money is not!"

"The weapons and armor made by craftsmen are wealth, but money is not!"

"Money is just a bunch of useless dead things!"

Zhao Lang said a few words in succession before finally asking,

"Do you understand it?"

At this time, Shang Yaner's heart was in a state of confusion, and she murmured back,

"The concubine doesn't understand."

Zhao Lang gave a wry smile. What he said was actually very superficial, but the other party is now restless and hard to understand.

So he said very simply,

"The only role of businessmen is to let the wealth created by the common people flow."

"Making everyone able to get what they need."

"Other than that, there is no other use!"

Hearing this, Shang Yaner lowered her head deeply, and said,

"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Lang sighed slightly,

"As the leader of the business, you are responsible for this matter."

"No matter how big your business is today, before next spring, half of all assets will be handed over to the state treasury."

It's not that he doesn't want all of them, but it's unrealistic, and it's not easy to force all these people to their death.

He still understands the principle of exhausting water to catch fish.

It just so happened that with this money, my own railway can be longer.

There is one thing to say, building the railway in Daqin now is more terrifying than burning money!

And the conditions are extremely harsh, so we can only give priority to the flat area in the north.

Just enough to connect the grassland firmly.

Of course, once the construction is successful, the demand will also be huge!

Shang Yaner trembled slightly at this moment, and said,

"Your Majesty, confiscating half of the property is too harsh!"

"The merchants may find it difficult to accept it! If it causes turmoil at that time, it will not benefit Daqin or the people at all!"

Now all the famous merchants are basically affiliated with the merchants,

Taking away half of these people's property would be an extremely terrifying figure!

But at the same time, for businessmen who value money the most, such punishment is simply unacceptable!

At this time, Zhao Lang showed a smile and said,

"I also feel a little harsh."

"If you find it unacceptable, you can resist!"

Listening to the trace of anticipation in Zhao Lang's tone, Shang Yaner only felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet and go straight to the sky!

What does it mean to be able to resist?

In today's Daqin, only rebellious would use this word!

And Daqin's method of rebellion...

Shang Yaner didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly said,

"The concubine will arrange it now!"

After speaking, he stood up, saluted and left.

She was afraid that if she took a step too late, the entire business would be doomed!

This kind of thing, the other party can definitely do it!

Looking at the back of Shang Yan'er leaving, Zhao Lang couldn't help but sigh slightly,

This good relationship between husband and wife has turned into a business. He doesn't like this feeling.

At this time, the slave at the side came over very thoughtfully, poured a cup of tea for his master,

After Zhao Lang's face stretched a little, he said,

"Master, you don't have to worry, those businessmen can't make trouble."

"Just in this way, next year's tax may be less."

Although the merchants in Daqin are rich, they have been restricted for so many years.

The opponent has no way to gather the manpower and weapons of resistance.

I also have to sigh here, the foresight of the owner.

It seems that a long time ago, the owner of the house knew that these merchants would do something that they shouldn't have.

It's just that after suffering this blow, businesses must shrink, so that the taxes collected will definitely be less.

It will also affect the stability of the market.

Zhao Lang returned indifferently,

"It's okay, a merchant is not the same as a merchant, there will always be someone to replace it."

"Their income is worth two years' taxes."

He is not worried about the turmoil caused by these businessmen at all now,

No one knows better than him the weakness of these businessmen!

And no one knows better than him that if these businessmen really want to grasp the lifeblood of Daqin,

That is the disaster of the whole Great Qin!

So he even had some expectations that these businessmen would be tougher,

Take up arms and fight him!

Only in this way can he eliminate hidden dangers more thoroughly.

Of course he knew it was impossible.

I also know that there is no way to do it once and for all now, even in the previous life.

Perhaps only by realizing the rumored Great Harmony of the World can the hidden dangers be eliminated.

Seeing how confident his master was, the slave naturally stopped talking about it, and instead said,

"Master, please rest for a while."

My master is still quite tired because of the selection of the prince.

Zhao Lang shook his head and said quickly,

"Go to Hao'er and have a look."

It's just that he didn't say, recently he started dreaming again,

In the dream, his father told him not to dawdle if he was fine, but hurry up to meet him.

What to say, it is very tight to fight with a ghost beast clan.

What the **** is this called?

Just when Zhao Lang was about to get up, an attendant hurried over and delivered a document.

Zhao Lang could not help asking,

"What is it?"

After taking a look, the slave quickly smiled and said,

"Master, there is a letter from Rome. I told them before that the news from there must be delivered immediately."

Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, and took the document directly.

On the other side of Rome, the distance is still too far from them, and he is still interested in reporting every two to three months.

Soon, after reading the documents, Zhao Lang couldn't help but smile and said,

"This guy named Zhang Hanlin is quite talented, and he is good at confusing people."

The other party integrated into Rome with singing and dancing, and then deliberately clashed with the Chinese over there to gain the trust of the Romans.

Then slowly blend in.

In this way, when the other party can influence Rome and the high-ranking nobles,

The key point can even play a decisive role!

It is a good seedling!

At this moment, Nu hurriedly smiled and said,

"It's all master, you arranged it well."

He is telling the truth, his master's arrangements are often years, or even decades, and the foreshadowing is laid!

Unless you take the initiative to expose yourself, otherwise, there will be no trace of the other party!

With such thoughts and methods, he felt sad for the Romans.

The plans of the two sides are not on the same level at all.

At this time, the Romans were still thinking about how to make these weapons of Daqin, but their master had already arranged everything and was ready to break their foundation!

Zhao Lang smiled, and was about to put down the information in his hand, but suddenly thought of something,

He stood up directly, walked to the map of the world in the palace, and after looking at it for a while,

quickly said,

"Is there now a list of the chief executives of various regions in Rome?" "

Of course he knew that the original place of the Romans was not big, just like Daqin, they were all beaten down later.

Slave will be back soon,

"This information has already been sent back, but I don't know if it has changed in the past two years."

Zhao Lang nodded, and then said,

"Let our people pay attention to contacting these people separately, and then guide the mutual attacks between these different areas."

"For example, if you live along the coast, say they eat stinky fish; if you live near the grassland, say they herd sheep!"

"Anyway, put a negative mark on people in all regions! They must not be allowed to live in harmony~lightnovelpub.net~ He just wants these Romans to not be able to truly integrate together and make them attack each other Internal friction,

Turn the attention of these Romans to the inside, let these internal contradictions that are not originally contradictory, zoom in and zoom in!

Let them hate their own people more than the real enemy outside!

Of course, the most important thing is to try an idea in your heart,

If it can be realized, he will be able to get a divided Rome without a single soldier!

At that time, use a little more means,

Occupying all of Rome will be a piece of cake!

Of course, no one would believe such a plan, but who told him to have a living example in his previous life.
