Break day.

In the Shangshu Mansion, Xu Wenshu was at his desk at home, holding the newspaper and reading it attentively.

There are also several newspapers next to the table, from other newspapers.

Although the court runs its own newspaper, Xu Wenshu personally is more concerned about Banshan Daily.

The content of Banshan Daily is complicated, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the daily price list of various urban areas in the capital.

This price change is extremely accurate and comprehensive, far exceeding the investigation by the Ministry of Revenue. People even use it to arrange shopping plans, so Xu Wenshu paid special attention.

Another point is that the news titles of Banshan Daily are always written very popular.

[Shocking! The story of this man, all the people in the capital cried after watching it!]

[Shocked! A woman actually did this in broad daylight!]

[Shocking scam! You can't eat these things, are you still eating them?]

【It's so scary! The latest discovery by scientists from Dongjiao University...】

News titles like this are tossed and turned every day, although every time I read Xu Wenshu, I feel like I've been fed a lot of shit.

Everyone in the city cried, but the result was that men cut onions and garlic and shed tears to teach everyone the tips for life.

Women read in broad daylight and encourage women to learn to read and write.

Bird's nest is not nutritious for eggs, and bird's nest is stained with shit, which makes it sick after eating.

Dongjiao University found that alcoholism can lead to impotence...

Although he was disgusted, he couldn't help but want to pick it up and take a look.

However, news appeared in the two-day newspapers that made him feel refreshed.

Part of the sections that were originally full of shocking news were replaced by food merchants' learning.

What are the division of labor and cooperation, the increase in private wealth stock, the supply and demand relationship, etc.

Although it is easy to understand, the content has completely different perspectives, and there are also a few simple cases.

Xu Wenshu read it with relish, but whenever he saw it, he couldn't help but feel curious.

The authors of these articles have no signatures. I don’t know if it was an omission from the newspaper or other reasons. What a strange thing...

Just as he was watching, Xu Hongcai suddenly came to report with anxiety on his face: "Dad, Fang Zhengyi has come and brought a gift."

Xu Wenshuteng stood up and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough... there is indeed something wrong. This guy actually visited him today.

"Hongcai, go and invite him in...forget, go with me."

After saying that, Xu Wenshu rushed out and explained as he walked: "When you talk to him for your father, listen carefully, remember carefully, and never interrupt."

"I understand dad."

Outside the gate, Fang Zhengyi was waiting with a gift, and a cloth bag was also put in between the creaking nests.

Seeing Xu Wenshu walking out, he bowed with a smile: "Sir Xu, the official is here to disturb you again."

"Rare guest! Rare guest! I can't ask for it, Lord Fang."

Xu Wenshu was extremely enthusiastic and pulled Fang Zhengyi and walked in.

He also introduced: "This is my youngest son, named Xu Hongcai. Hongcai, why don't you say hello to Lord Fang?"

Xu Hongcai quietly looked at Fang Zheng and said, "I have met Lord Fang."

When Fang Zheng saw that he was just a 16 or 17-year-old boy, he didn't care too much and nodded in response.

After the two of them sat down, Xu Hongcai went to prepare tea. Xu Wenshu said, "What are you doing today by Lord Fang?"

"Oh...it's okay, I'm just passing by Mr. Xu's house. I remembered that we had talked to each other before..."

Before Fang Zheng finished speaking, Xu Wenshu raised his hand and said, "Mr. Fang, forget it, I am not the first time I entered the court. I have to visit many times, and there must be something important."

"You might as well make the words clearer."

Fang Zhengyi was stunned and smiled and took out the memorial book from his sleeve and handed it over: "Since you are quick to speak, I won't hide it anymore. This is the memorial book I am going to hand over. Please read it by Lord Xu."

Xu Wenshu took the memorial and read it carefully. As he looked, his face changed.

Everything here points directly to one thing, lenient business.

The city tariffs were abolished, merchants were allowed to take buses, and business restrictions were relaxed... There were ten rules.

Xu Wenshu was silent, glanced at Fang Zheng suspiciously, and asked, "I don't understand, what does these things have to do with you, Lord Fang? Why do you have to speak for the merchant?"

Could it be that this kid is addicted to snatching jobs? He just had a quarrel with the Ministry of Works, and now his hand is reaching the Ministry of Revenue again?

"Hey, Lord Xu said this. You and I are both officials of the court. What's wrong with asking for the people? I heard you say that the income from commercial tax has increased, but isn't it for the treasury to have more income? Lord Xu, what do you think I wrote?"

"Dad, Lord Fang, please use tea." Xu Hongcai had already prepared the tea and brought it up.

Xu Wenshu gave him a look, and then Xu Hong put down the tea and stood beside him and listened honestly.

Then Xu Wenshu silently pushed the memorial back and said, "Mr. Fang is naturally excellent, but it is not realistic."

"Indulging merchants has many troubles, and merchants do not work in production and can only serve as intermediaries to win huge profits among the people. This is tantamount to competing for profit with the people. This matter is absolutely impossible."

The current situation is expected, and Fang Zhengyi is not in a hurry to take back the memorial.

Then he said, "I don't agree with this. If there is no intermediary in the world, it would have been a mess. This merchant is like a gear in a water truck connecting the producer and the buyer. If there is no other mediating resources in it, it will be extremely difficult for both the buyer and the seller to establish it, and the profit is just the reward he deserves."

"The more business the merchants promote, the more wealth in the world will grow. If the merchants seek convenience and harm the interests of others, how can my great view be better every year and the treasury income be higher every year? Mr. Xu, are you right?"

After Fang Zheng finished speaking, Xu Wenshu's mind was filled with a devil and jumped out of the contents of the newspaper he had read a few days ago.

He couldn't help but nodded: "Something is true, but why did Lord Fang tell me this? If I just want to ask my opinion, I would rather not hand it over. If you hand it over, it will be a good idea to keep it unsent."

"Besides, it's not nice to say that this should be my duty in the Ministry of Revenue, not by Lord Fang."

Fang Zheng nodded and defaulted.

"Yes, this is indeed a matter of the Ministry of Revenue. But if I don't mention it, I'm afraid no one will mention it."

After saying that, Fang Zhengyi lowered his head and searched for the cloth bag he carried with him.

A stack of letter paper was taken out of the bag and handed it to Xu Wenshu.

Xu Wenshu took the letter, glanced at it, and his face immediately changed!

There was a trace of unhidden fear in my eyes.

"Sir Fang...you are..."
