My subjects are too rebellious!

Just as the two were arguing, Lu Su had quietly appeared beside them.

With a smile on his face, he asked softly, "You two gentlemen are in a good mood late at night. I wonder what you are arguing about? Can I listen to it?"

Li Si and Fan Li were both stunned when they heard this. Then Li Si spoke first, "Merchants don't pay taxes, so they are hard to control. It's hard to manage their profits and losses. Moreover, merchants don't care about the country and are not kind even though they are rich."

Fan Li said: "Only when the treasury is full can the benevolent government be better implemented, and the business world can also be checked and balanced by laws."

After listening to what the two said, Lu Su first expressed his understanding of their respective viewpoints, and then slowly spoke.

"You two lords, it is really admirable that you can discuss national affairs so enthusiastically in the middle of the night. As Lord Li said, if merchants do not pay taxes, it is indeed difficult to control them, and their profits and losses are not easy to grasp. I am even more worried that they have no country in their hearts and are rich but unkind. These concerns are all out of deep concern for the country and the people."

After that, Lu Su turned to Fan Li and continued, "And Mr. Fan believes that a full treasury is the basis for implementing benevolent governance, and the way of merchants can also bring prosperity to the country under the appropriate checks and balances of laws. This theory also makes sense. After all, the economy is the foundation of the country, and merchants, as important participants in economic activities, cannot be ignored. "

Lu Su paused, as if thinking about how to combine the two people's views.

"In fact, the two adults' views are not completely contradictory, but they each have their own emphasis."

"Mr. Li emphasizes the necessity of laws and the responsibility of businessmen, while Mr. Fan values ​​the positive impact of economic prosperity on the country and the people. In my opinion, we may be able to find a balance that ensures the stability of national tax revenue and the standardized management of businessmen, while encouraging business development and promoting economic prosperity."

Lu Su made a suggestion: "We can formulate more complete tax laws to clarify the tax obligations of merchants, and at the same time strengthen market supervision to ensure that merchants' business activities are legal and compliant. In addition, we can set up special institutions to manage merchants' surpluses and losses, so as to better grasp economic dynamics and provide strong support for national decision-making. As for whether merchants have the country in their hearts and whether they are unkind because of their wealth, it depends more on how we guide them."

Lu Su's words suddenly enlightened Li Si and Fan Li, as if they had been enlightened.

Inspired by Lu Su, Li Si took the lead and said: "First, we must clarify the tax obligations of merchants and establish a complete tax law system to ensure that merchants pay taxes reasonably according to their business scale and profitability. At the same time, those merchants who evade taxes and commit fraud should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

Fan Li then added: "I agree with Mr. Li's point of view, but I also think that while we should impose constraints, we should also give merchants certain incentives. For example, for merchants who operate with integrity and actively pay taxes, we can give them tax exemptions or other forms of preferential policies to encourage them to make more contributions to the national economy."

Lu Su nodded in agreement and made more specific suggestions: "We can set up a special tax agency to be responsible for the collection and management of commercial taxes. At the same time, in order to ensure the fair implementation of tax laws, we can establish a fair complaint mechanism so that merchants can have a place to appeal when they encounter injustice."

As the discussion deepened, the three gradually formed a complete plan.

Not only should strict laws be formulated to constrain the behavior of merchants, but a series of policy measures should also be adopted to guide merchants to actively pay taxes and operate with integrity.

........

The night is deep and everything is silent.

However, inside Yunnan Prefecture, there was a house that was brightly lit.

The secret agents of the Imperial Guard recorded every conversation that took place in the different courtyards tonight, word for word, and quickly presented them to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was sitting behind a large desk at this moment, gently stroking an exquisite jade pendant in his hand with a complicated look in his eyes.

He felt that perhaps he was a little too eager.

If what Lu Su and the other two said was true, would this be considered accelerating the progress of history?

If that's the case...

Will the world be in chaos then?

The key to governing a country lies in balance and harmony, not simply black and white.

There is nothing wrong with strict laws, and there is nothing wrong with encouraging merchants.

But they underestimated the human heart and nature.

Qin Chuan gently put away the secret report, as if everything was under control.

In his mind, he had already begun to plan and plot more far-reaching plans.

..........

On the second day, Qin Chuan specially selected an escort team composed of the elite Jinyiwei. They were dressed in Feiyu uniforms and had embroidered spring swords on their waists. They were all agile and had sharp eyes.

They escorted Li Si, Fan Li, Lu Su, Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei and Li Jing back to Beijing.

Qin Chuan himself was dressed in casual clothes, and he took Long San, Long Si and Zhang Rang with him, and headed straight for Guilin Prefecture.

It’s a rare opportunity to get out, wouldn’t it be a pity if you don’t enjoy the trip?

I haven’t been there in my previous life, because my pocket is cleaner than my face.

You are the emperor in this life, how can you not go and have a look?

.......

In early spring, all things come back to life.

Outside the city of Guilin is a beautiful scenery with mountains surrounding it and clear waters flowing around the city.

Once you enter Guilin, it feels like you have stepped into a fairyland isolated from the world.

In the distance, the mountains are rolling and one after another, with clouds and mist lingering between them, appearing and disappearing from time to time, like a flowing scroll of mountains and rivers.

The peaks are either as steep as swords, or pointing straight to the sky, while others are round and gentle, like a fairy dancing.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the clouds and shines on the mountain tops, shining with golden light, adding a touch of sacredness and solemnity.

Qin Chuan stood on the top of the city wall, looking at this magnificent scene, and couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy, with great pride in his heart.

As the group slowly walked into the mountains and forests, they saw the gurgling stream, the clear water revealing the bottom. Fish swam freely in the water, occasionally jumping out of the water, drawing silver arcs.

Green bamboos sway on both sides of the river and wild flowers bloom.

Walking along the Li River is a unique experience.

The water of the Li River is as green as jade. It meanders through mountains and across ridges, connecting the strange peaks and rocks on both sides one by one, forming a beautiful landscape of "the river is like a green silk belt, and the mountains are like jade bamboo baskets".

Qinchuan takes a small boat down the river and has a panoramic view of the picturesque scenery on both sides of the river.

Sometimes you can see fishermen singing in the evening, and sometimes you can hear the cries of monkeys. This scene makes people forget the troubles of the world and want to indulge in the boundless mountains and rivers.

Mountains are the soul of Guilin.

Water is the soul of Guilin.

While boating on the river, you will see changing scenery with every step. Every place is a superb view that will make you dazzled and refreshed.

The beauty of Guilin's mountains and rivers lies in the perfect fusion of mountains and water.

Mountains come alive because of water, and water becomes beautiful because of mountains. The two complement each other and together constitute Guilin's unique natural landscape.

Here, you can see the tenderness and sweetness of the mountains and waters, and you can also feel the tenacity and persistence of the mountains and waters.

This natural beauty is not only pleasing to the eyes, but also purifies and sublimates the soul.

In short, the beauty of Guilin's mountains and rivers is a beauty that cannot be fully expressed in words.

It requires you to experience, feel and taste it yourself.

Only in this way can you truly appreciate the unique charm and appeal of Guilin's landscape.
