When Shang Yaner came to the palace in a hurry, she saw Zhao Lang sitting at the top of the palace drinking tea.

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

This kind of clear tea is the original creation of the other party, which removes the original oil and spices in the tea, etc.

Only use the processed tea leaves, add a pot of boiled water, the two add up, but they have a different flavor.

Nowadays, this kind of tea is popular in Daqin.

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

"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty."

Seeing this scene, the slave on the side hurriedly turned his head to the side, and he didn't see what would happen next.

Because he knew that the imperial concubine Shang Yaner had angered her master this time.

And the means of his own master, he has been following the other party all these years, but it is too clear.

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

What the owner is good at is killing hearts!

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

With a bit of distress, he said,

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

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

As he said that, he helped the other party to the seat next to him, and also took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the other party.

It's just Shang Yan'er, who has no intention of drinking tea at this time, looked at Zhao Lang with an indifferent face,

She couldn't help thinking of the other party. When she rescued her, when she killed the heirs of Zongheng's family, she always looked so calm and indifferent.

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

So he bit his lip and said directly,

"Your Majesty, Shang'er's side was arranged by the concubine. It 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 Yaner made all the arrangements in the past few years, without any concealment, and made it clear.

Finally said,

"All this is the fault of the concubine, and I ask Your Majesty to punish you."

After she finished speaking, Zhao Lang just said lightly,

"Drink tea first, it won't be good when it gets cold."

Shang Yan'er then picked up the teacup a little nervously and drank it all at once.

Just because I was too nervous, there was some tea. fell on him,

Before she could react, Zhao Lang, who was beside him, stretched out his hand to clean up for her.

Feeling the tenderness of the other party, Shang Yaner reluctantly settled down a little, and said,

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Lang said with a wry smile at this time,

"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 was reluctant to let the other party get him.

There was a hint of disappointment on Shang Yan'er's face, and she said with a reluctant smile,

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

Zhao Lang shook his head, although Shang Yaner's beauty was indeed not comparable 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 rely on you too."

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

When he was on the grassland, Zhao Lang had already seen it.

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

Whether it is courage or ambition, ordinary men can't compare!

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

If you really let the other party use businessmen to influence the succession selection within the royal family.

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

Hearing this, Shang Yan'er explained with a slightly trembling voice,

"Your Majesty, I and other merchants have absolutely no rebellious intentions! It's just that now, the merchants below say to their concubines,"

"Businessmen bear the entire burden, and Daqin's taxes are more than half, but the rights are not comparable to that of a scholar."

"Everyone has some... doubts in their hearts."

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

But today's Daqin has many restrictions on them.

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

Then after the other party ascends, the status of the businessman can be greatly increased!

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

Hearing Shang Yan'er's words, Zhao Lang's eyes showed a trace of pity, saying,

"You businessmen really only see money, right?"

"Do you know what money is?"

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

Finally, some confused answers,

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

At this time, Zhao Lang shook his head very firmly and said,

"You businessmen, you 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 that the people grow 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 a row, and finally asked,

"Do you understand it?"

At this time, Shang Yan'er was in chaos in her heart, and murmured back,

"My concubine doesn't understand."

Zhao Lang smiled bitterly. In fact, what he said was very superficial, but the other party was restless and difficult to understand.

So he said very simply,

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

"To give everyone access to what they need."

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

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

"Please have mercy on your majesty!"

Zhao Lang sighed slightly,

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

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

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

He still understands the truth of exhausting the pond and fishing.

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

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

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

Just enough to connect the grasslands firmly.

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

Shang Yan'er trembled slightly at this time, and said,

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

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the businessmen to accept it! If there is turmoil at that time, it will not benefit Da Qin or the people in the slightest!"

Now all the merchants who can be ranked are basically affiliated with the merchants.

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

But again, 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 feel unacceptable, you can resist!"

Listening to the trace of anticipation in Zhao Lang's tone, Shang Yan'er only felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet, reaching the sky!

What does it mean to resist?

Today's Daqin, only rebellious will be used this word!

And Da Qin's means of rebellion...

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

"Chen and concubine will arrange it now!"

After saying that, he got up and saluted and left.

She is afraid that if she takes a step forward, the entire business will usher in a catastrophe!

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 sighed slightly.

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

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

After Zhao Lang stretched his face a little, he said,

"Master, you don't have to worry, that group of businessmen will never be able to make any waves."

"It's just that, next year's taxes may be lower."

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

The opponent could not gather the hands and weapons to resist.

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

It seems that a long time ago, the owner of the house already knew that these businessmen would have some actions that should not be done.

It's just that after suffering this blow, the business will definitely shrink, and as a result, the tax collected will definitely be less.

It will also affect the stability of the market.

Zhao Lang returned without caring,

"It doesn't matter, merchants are not the same as merchants, there will always be someone to replace them."

"Their household can be worth two years of taxation."

He is now completely unconcerned about the turmoil caused by these merchants,

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

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

That is the disaster of the whole Daqin!

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

Take up arms and fight him!

Only in this way can he remove the 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 if it is a previous life.

Perhaps only by realizing the rumored Great Harmony in the world can we eliminate hidden dangers.

Seeing that the owner of the house looked so confident, the slave naturally stopped talking about this matter, and instead said,

"Master, please rest for a while."

The owner of the house is still very 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 it, recently he started dreaming again,

In the dream, Dad told him to stop dawdling when he was all right, and hurried up to meet him.

What to say, the battle with a ghost orc race is tight.

What's this thing called?

Just as Zhao Lang was about to get up, a servant hurried over and handed over a letter.

Zhao Lang couldn't help but ask,

"What is it?"

After taking a look at the slave, he quickly said with a smile,

"Master, the letter came from Rome. I told them before that the news from there must be sent immediately."

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

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

Soon, after reading the document, Zhao Lang couldn't help showing a smile and said,

"This guy named Zhang Hanlin has some talent, and the means of confusing people are good."

The other party used song and dance to integrate into Rome, and then deliberately clashed with the Chinese people there to gain the trust of the Romans.

Then slowly integrate.

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

In key places, it can even play the role of finalizing the sound!

It's a good seedling!

At this time, the slave hurriedly smiled and said,

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

He is sincere. The arrangement of the owner of the house often takes years, or even decades, to lay the groundwork!

Unless you take the initiative to expose yourself, otherwise, the other party has no trace at all!

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.

The Romans were still thinking about how to make these weapons of Da Qin at this time, and their masters had already arranged everything, 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 and walked to the map of the world in the palace. After looking at it for a while,

said quickly,

"Is there now, the list of the regional governors of Rome". "

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

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 contact these people separately, and then guide them as usual, to attack each other between these different areas."

"For example, in the coastal areas, UU reading www.uukanshu.com says they eat stinky fish, and those close to the grasslands say they are sheep herding!"

"Anyway, put a negative mark on people in all areas!. They must not be allowed to live in harmony."

He just wants these Romans to not be able to really integrate together, and let them attack each other and internal friction,

Shift the attention of these Romans to the interior, and let these internal contradictions that are not originally contradictory, enlarge and enlarge!

Let them hate their own people and hate the real enemy outside!

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

If it does come true, he will be able to get a Rome torn apart without a single soldier!

Time to use a little more tricks,

Taking all of Rome will be a breeze!

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