Chapter 46: Debate on Policy Theory

Lu Nianwei's pretty face turned slightly red. She thought she would give Zhao Yan an unparalleled gift, but she never thought that the business strategies in the book were all from Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "This gift is the first gift I received today, and I can feel very attentive."

"That's it!" Lu Nianwei picked up the wine glass, touched Zhao Yan for a while, and then drank it all in one go.

At this moment, boats were shuttled through Butterfly Lake, and the lake shore was filled with people, which was very lively.

At this moment, a big ship not far away suddenly collided towards the flower-sailed ship.

The big ship was not fast, it seemed to be intentionally trying to hit the flower-sailed boat.

With a "bang", the big ship hit a corner of the flower-sailed ship.

The flower-stove boat suddenly tilted, and at that moment, Lu Nianwei subconsciously hugged Zhao Yan's arm.

Fortunately, the flower-sailed boat just tilted a little and returned to normal, and Lu Nianwei instantly let go of Zhao Yan's arm.

Shen Tuyi on the shore left the fifth mutton pancake he was eating, picked up the bamboo pole and rushed towards Butterfly Lake.

After just taking two steps, I found that the flower-sailed boat was stable.

He immediately walked back, picked up the half of the mutton pancake, and started gnawing again.

On the bow of the big ship were several young men in brocade clothes, as well as several young and beautiful girls.

A young man wearing a white robe and dressed in a greasy and pink face shouted to Lu Nianwei: "Girl, we are a tea merchant tourist group from Hangzhou, and are conducting a debate on the argument. There is a good Longjing here. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel happy.

In a simple sentence, there are two flaunting messages. This person's ability to flirt with girls is absolutely extraordinary.

The tea merchant tour group from Hangzhou implies that this group of people is very rich.

The policy argument is to discuss major affairs of the court and imply that one is concerned about major affairs of the court.

Most girls like such men who are rich and concerned about major affairs in the court.

Lu Nianwei looked at Zhao Yan and solicited his opinions.

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "It's better to go up and find fun. I'm still interested in the strategy theory."

"Okay!" Lu Nianwei nodded with a smile.

Immediately, the two boarded the big ship.

The interior decoration of the large ship is even more luxurious than the exterior. There is a giant tea table on the deck, which can accommodate more than 20 people.

There are various fruits, snacks, book sieves on the tea table, and five beautiful maids are specially responsible for making tea.

As soon as Lu Nianwei got on the boat, she attracted the attention of all the men present.

"Beautiful, she is worthy of being a woman from the capital, she is so elegant!" Someone couldn't help but praise.

Many people turned a blind eye to Zhao Yan on the side.

In a man's heart, no matter how handsome another man is, he can't see it.

And when he saw Zhao Yan wearing plain clothes, he subconsciously thought that Zhao Yan should be a woman's servant.

The young man in white robe walked up to Lu Nianwei and bowed, "I dare to ask the girl's name, I'm going to Hangzhou Sun Yuhang."

"Lu Nianwei." Lu Nianwei said with a smile, and glanced at Zhao Yan with a squint. She wanted to see if Zhao Yan would be jealous.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan looked around and had no reaction at all.

At this time, a young man not far away said, "Mr. Sun, our argument should begin. With such a beautiful woman, today's debate will definitely be very exciting."

Sun Yuhang gentlemanly invited Lu Nianwei to the main seat, and Zhao Yan pulled a small stool and sat directly behind Lu Nianwei.

It looks more like a servant.

But Zhao Yan didn't care about these things, and he looked forward to what these businessmen's children would debate.

"Ahem..."

After everyone sat down, Sun Yuhang coughed dryly and said, "The theme of our debate today is that the court will turn salt, iron, wine and tea from the government to private businessmen to join forces. I wonder what you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the young men around them couldn't help but become interested.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but raise his head. Regarding this matter, he also attaches great importance to public opinion.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty allowed freedom of speech, ordinary people still dared not discuss such government affairs.

Sun Yuhang continued: "You are all guests of Sun. The words on this ship will never be passed outside. Everyone can speak freely."

At this time, a young man with a slightly fat body stood up and said, "My father happened to pick up a tea garden at the beginning of the year, so I'll talk about it first."

"Since ancient times, the court has always been competing for profit with merchants and the people, but our new emperor has taken a unique approach and actually remembered the policy of cooperation between officials and the people. As a monopoly industry, salt, iron, wine and tea is naturally more profitable than ordinary commodities. Although my father paid a sum of money to the court at the beginning of the year, it is expected that the next batch of new tea can be earned back by selling it. This decree is to give benefits to our businessmen, which I think is good!"

Zhao Yan, who was standing beside him, felt very comfortable and the feeling of being praised was really wonderful.

"Not nor none!" At this time, a tall and thin young man stood up.

"Brother Qi, no wonder you can't leave Qiantang County with Qi's business. It's really short-sighted. I don't think this government order is to give benefits to our merchants!"

"I hope to hear the details." Sun Yuhang said excitedly.

"The court asked the government to cooperate with the people this time because the national treasury was tight, and it was very likely to fight with the Northern and Mongolian soon, so it was necessary to temporarily give in to the merchants. According to the usual style of the court, the literati class was always regarded as pillars of the Zhou Dynasty, and there was no merchant like us at all. This time, the court gave concessions to the merchants, but it destroyed many officials' money bags. Do you think that once the court recovered its vitality and the national treasury had some food reserves, would he not change his policies?"

"If the court suddenly increases the commercial tax on salt, iron, wine and tea, and we have signed a contract with the court for three years or even longer, then wait for the bad luck!"

At this time, someone murmured: "It makes sense. If the court suddenly increases the commercial tax, it will be the hardship of us merchants!"

"No way, isn't the court doing this, aren't it afraid of losing the people's support? Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has executed two civil officials one after another, which shows that in his eyes, scholars and officials are not that important!" said the slightly fat young man surnamed Qi in confusion.

At this moment, Sun Yuhang spoke.

"Brother Qi, I have a completely opposite idea. The new emperor's move was not to suppress the scholars and officials, but to hold his own throne. As far as I know, our emperor does not have the potential of a saint as folk legends. On the contrary, I think he is just a person who likes to make trouble. In addition, I would like to tell you a message that we will definitely lose the battle with the Northern and Mongolian battles. I advise you not to buy too many businesses in the north to avoid losing all your money."

"Bang!"
