Chapter 303
Paba's face immediately became serious: "Why?"
Fang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It is a national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce! The status of merchants has always been low. Will opening up a large-scale business path shake the national policy?"
"What's more, I have a lot of resources and all of them. Is there any need for business?"
"Although the two countries are good to make a brotherly country, the business matter will never be able to achieve results overnight, unless Your Majesty disagrees with all his opinions!"
Paba frowned: "Although Jingguo is strong, as far as I know, horses and sheepskin supplies are in short supply. Can court officials ignore them?"
"Of course, it's not possible, but in their opinion, this is a small profit, and no one will lose a big fortune because of small profits!"
"The war lasted for less than three years, and the foundation of emphasis on agriculture was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is the time to prosper agriculture and consolidate the foundation of the country!"
"The caravans go to the border and transport them alone are very expensive, and the court is unwilling to bear this part of the loss."
"Besides, master, you should know that the south of Dajing is the real wealthy place. If the materials are to be transferred to the Beirong border for at least a few months!"
"The businessman has a low status, and this concept is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of tariff officials."
"Those people think that increasing their classes is a good job, and strictness is a strong trend. They plan to the bottom of their minds, and they will never leave any extra money!"
"Every time you pass a level, the merchant will be stripped of a layer of skin. How many levels are there in the middle to pass have you calculated?"
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng was filled with tears in his heart.
It is not easy for the county to go out for business. It costs a lot of money to open one of these levels.
Coercion and temptation, use all the best.
Not to mention the many, it took the boss's effort to induce mass fraud...
"Although I thought that this trip might not be smooth, it was not as detailed as you thought." Paba nodded from time to time. Fang Zhengichi said it was indeed reasonable, and he already understood it, but he did not expect that the obstacle would be so severe.
"But... Lord Fang, why do you think this is a good thing?"
"Oh! I grew up in a merchant's family since I was a child, so I naturally know more about merchant's affairs."
As he said that, Fang Zheng showed grief and anger: "I'm not hiding it! My thoughts have always been incompatible with the court officials!"
"In addition, I can't hold my words in my heart and I've been disliked. I'll know after waiting for you for a long time."
"Many people pour dirty water on me every day, saying that I flattered and spoke frankly, and didn't know that they were the ones they were!"
"If my emperor hadn't been wise, I would have been demoted to a certain mountain valley."
"It's really dark in the officialdom! I feel like I'm right at first sight, and I can't speak up some words without uttering them!"
Paba just smiled and didn't say anything.
When I saw Chen Hong in the morning, I could feel that Fang Zhengyi was disliked by others.
Moreover, his performance has been quite direct since he came into contact with him. The most important thing is that when he said the emperor's wise words, he felt particularly sincere!
It seems that what Fang Zhengyi said is the truth, and that should be the case.
This person is available!
"Mr. Fang, I'll do it for you..."
"Don't call Lord Fang, Brother Fang! You and I have met naked now, are you still so disgusting?" Fang Zheng started to beat the snake and follow the stick.
Paba coughed twice in embarrassment: "Brother Fang, what should you do according to your opinion?"
Fang Zheng's face was a bit polite: "Master, our conversations before can be said to be well known in the court. If we continue to talk more carefully, it may be a bit inappropriate, let alone the Prince's Highness is still there?"
Paba looked at Li Yuanzhao sideways, and saw that he and Lufa were still looking at Chi Lie from time to time, pointing at him and pointing at him, whispering: "Brother Fang isn't treating me as a friend? The Fa Bu Chuan Liu Er, the conversation between you and me will not be revealed!"
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Since you said that, it's okay for me to tell you! But you must keep it confidential!"
Paba was overjoyed: "It must!"
"If you talk to your Majesty about this matter in a few days, the biggest obstacle will be the court officials, but the final decision will definitely be your Majesty."
"So, you just need to convince Your Majesty!"
"It is not enough to just raise trade. At least we have to talk a few more times, and the conditions are increased layer by layer."
"My suggestion is that you finally say that you will trade with Your Majesty on the border with the two countries, and each will send officials to guard it."
"The two countries have agreed that border town transactions need to jointly stamp and distribute special commercial invoices to avoid merchants being blocked at the checkpoint."
"In the end, you need to show enough sincerity by master. The amount of tax is the key."
Paba looked at Fang Zhengyi suspiciously: "It's that simple?"
"Of course not!"
"The influence of court officials on Your Majesty's will is the top priority. Then what you have to do is to climb up to the popular people around Your Majesty first to have a chance to succeed!"
"Who is this person?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled mysteriously: "This person is Your Majesty's personal eunuch, Guo Tianyang! He has been with Your Majesty since childhood, and has seen people, and his words are very important."
"There is another person, who is the chief minister of the current dynasty, the prince's tutor and the Grand Secretary of the Jinshen Pavilion."
Papa was immediately happy and was really in vain today!
"So how to get in touch with these two people? Brother Fang has a solution?"
Fang Zhengyi coughed lightly: "Cough! I'm not afraid of you making jokes. Although I have a bad relationship with my colleagues, I have a good relationship with Eunuch Guo. I can find a way to tell you."
"What about Lord Li?"
"He is my uncle! They are all real relatives. Keep a low profile and don't spread it to me!"
Hiss ~! Paba took a breath.
So that's the point! No wonder such an honest person can survive in the officialdom. No one can afford to offend this background as long as he doesn't commit suicide!
"Then... can you ask Brother Fang to help me..." Paba stared at Li Yuanzhao while winking at Fang Zhengyi.
"Of course I can help you, but... there are many difficulties!" Fang Zheng showed his confusion.
"If you have any place to do my best, Brother Fang just speak!"
Fang Zheng thought about it and hesitated: "I'm fine if I'm alone, the problem is... I need money!"
"Eunuch Guo loves money, my uncle loves tea, especially big fairy tea!"
"Eunuch Guo is extremely powerful and has countless godsons, so he naturally doesn't like ordinary little altruism."
"You know how expensive that big-quality fairy tea is... It's really hard to move without silver. I'm sorry I can't help you!"
Paba smiled slightly and whispered: "How much money does Brother Fang need? I'll pay it! In addition... there is a small gift!"
Fang Zhengyi immediately glared at Paba: "What did you say! I need your little gift!"
"I think this matter is because the two countries are willing to help you with win-win cooperation. You actually bribed me? Then I don't have to think about it! Fang Zheng misjudged the person!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Paba was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Fang Zhengyi's arm and comforted him: "Brother Fang! Brother Fang, it's me that I'm wronged. Don't be angry, please calm down!"
"I apologize to you for my brother!"
Paba stared at Fang Zhengyi nervously.
He saw his chest undulating and he spoke seriously after a long time, "You can help you, but you must not mention it if you are not polite. I am not that kind of person."
"Yes...it's my fault. Brother Fang, how much money do you need to operate?" Paba smiled apologized.
Why didn’t I expect that such a honest and honest person is the most important thing! It’s a mistake!
"I think...it's going to cost 50,000 taels."
Fifty thousand? Paba only felt the pain in his flesh. It was worthwhile to get things done. Fifty thousand taels were worth it.
He didn't doubt Fang Zhengyi. No one in the world is so brave that he lies on such things!
If you dare to use the people around the emperor as a guise, wouldn’t that seek death?
Paba gritted his teeth: "Brother Fang, if 50,000 taels are not enough, I will add 10,000 taels!"
