Ran Fang turned his head and glanced at him, thinking that the man in front of him would also become an emperor, but now that he was under his command, he no longer had the chance to be an emperor.
But it has to be said that Liu Bang still has some abilities in some aspects, especially in managing his subordinates and managing factories.
Therefore, he was also willing to analyze some affairs between the DPRK and China with Liu Bang.
Especially this morning, the air was very fresh, which made Ran Fang feel a lot better and he was willing to talk more.
"Your Majesty has always wanted to unify the world, not only through force, but more importantly, through ideological unification. Only in this way can Da Qin be able to develop in the same direction."
"If you want to achieve this, then everyone from your majesty to the ministers must have the belief that those heads of Guizhou in the old country are not the people of the Six Kingdoms, but the people of the Qin Dynasty."
"If the imperial court cannot treat everyone equally, something will happen to Da Qin sooner or later."
"Your Majesty may not have thought about it before, but after I said so much yesterday, Your Majesty should have some consideration."
"Furthermore, corvee service is not something that benefits the people. If there are prisoners in prison who are destined to do no good, there is no problem in letting them do corvee service. But if you let the people do it, it is also punishment."
Liu Bang nodded and understood what Ran Fang wanted to do.
While the two were talking, Fusu came in from outside. Judging from his excited expression, he might have thought that Ran Fang had something good to do with him.
He walked up to Ran Fang excitedly and said eagerly: "Sir, you are here to see me, but what's the important thing?"
"Sir, just tell me, as long as I can do it, I won't refuse!"
Seeing that he looked ignorant of the world, Ran Fang turned his head and looked at Liu Bang, signaling him to explain clearly to Fusu.
All the principles Ran Fang said must also be repeated to Fusu so that he could firmly state his theory when faced with doubts from the officials.
Finally, after Fusu's incomprehension and shock, he listened to Liu Bang's explanation and Ran Fang's explanation later, and then he left the commander's residence in a majestic manner and walked towards the palace.
By the time they arrived at the Qilin Hall, many ministers were already here.
Looking at the looks in the eyes of leaders Li Si, Wang Wan, Feng Quji and others, it can be seen that Ying Zheng has spoken out the matter, and they seem to strongly disagree with it.
Fusu didn't look at them. He stepped forward and saluted Ying Zheng and said, "My son, I'm here to see my father."
"Get up."
Fusu stood up, looked at Ying Zheng respectfully, and said directly: "My son just came out of the commander's palace. He heard about the corvee incident and wanted to come and advise my father that this matter is feasible."
Li Si, who was standing behind Fusu, did not expect that Fusu would directly hold up a sign of approval as soon as he arrived.
He couldn't hold it back for a moment and said directly: "Nonsense!"
"Is corvee a trivial matter?"
"As the prince of Great Qin, you have to think about how to think about Great Qin!"
"If corvee work is abolished, so many people will be needed to build canals, imperial mausoleums, and the Great Wall, and how much expenditure will be incurred. Has Mr. Fu Su ever considered it?"
Fusu, who was named, showed no trace of worry on his face, and even had a hint of pride.
He imitated Ran Fang's tone and said:
"Collect taxes."
"Ran Fang has already mentioned the collection of commercial taxes before. If the imperial court starts to collect commercial taxes, then naturally the treasury will not be empty."
"There is also grain and grass. You can collect some from the people, or you can buy it directly from the people."
"The development of the world depends not only on the policies promulgated by His Majesty, but also on the joint efforts of people all over the world. This is the most important one in Guizhou."
"Only when life in Guizhou is better and their sense of happiness improves, then all people in the old country can truly have a sense of belonging."
Everyone looked at the tone of his words and knew that this was Ran Fang's opinion.
Thinking of being rejected by Ran Fang, the expression on Li Si's face became even more ugly.
He directly reprimanded: "Do those businessmen take out their money so easily?"
"It's simply fantastic!"
"Are we going to target those merchants for the sake of the common people?"
"If that's really the case, what's the point of it?"
Fusu still looked like he was imitating Ran Fang. He glanced at Ying Zheng and had no objection. Then he turned around and started to confront Li Si.
"Scholar farmers, industry and commerce, the status of businessmen has always been at the bottom, not even as good as those poor farmers, which makes them feel a little unfair."
"If it can improve the status of businessmen, then you won't have any objections to asking them to spend some money, right?"
"Although Great Qin has a precedent of not allowing the descendants of merchants to enter the court as officials, if it can provide them with some business convenience, or if the court can provide help when they need help, those merchants will not be in trouble with the court. "
"It has improved their status in Great Qin. Even if they are not allowed to serve as officials in the court, it is still a good thing."
"It is even a good thing that some businessmen's sons who have been tested and have good conduct can enter the court and hold official positions."
There was obvious disdain in Li Si's eyes, and he clearly had an unacceptable attitude towards Fusu's remarks.
"Mr. Fusu's words, aren't you complaining about the businessmen?"
"If it is true as Mr. Fu Su said, then if the capital of Guizhou is going to do business, who will cultivate the land in these fields?"
"At that time, I am afraid that Da Qin's food will become a problem. How should we solve it?"
While speaking, he also glanced at the other officials behind him, obviously trying to gain their approval.
As expected, those officials also spoke one after another and agreed with Li Si's words.
"What the Prime Minister said is true."
"Indeed, businessmen already have money. If we really let them go, how can we do that?"
"No!"
Seeing this, Fusu was not angry at all. There was a proud look in his eyes, as if he had already thought that they would have this problem.
He slowly said: "Prime Minister, have you ever thought that anyone can become a businessman?"
"Ordinary people only know how to work hard, so how can they have any business plans?"
"Even if farmers do become businessmen, then the imperial court can issue an order to take back their fields and make them the property of the imperial court, and then distribute them to other farmers, isn't that okay?"
"You may not know that a good businessman can help a county or a country become rich."
"So, if you want Great Qin to truly become rich, you must open up trade!"
"Moreover, trade must be regulated, and those merchants must not be allowed to develop at will. They must give full play to their strengths within the laws of Qin, so that a win-win situation can be achieved."
