"This..." Everyone was taken aback.
"Why, you don't want to thank the eldest son?" Li Yang frowned and asked.
Everyone nodded in fright: "Yes, I want to thank you later."
"Let's go!" Li Yang nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and led a group of businessmen towards Xianyang Palace...
Chapter 365 Contribution
Xianyang Palace, Prince's Mansion.
"On behalf of the [-] merchants in Xianyang, we are here to express our gratitude to His Royal Highness, and wish His Highness ten thousand years and Great Qin ten thousand years."
Headed by Ba Shi, a dozen wealthy merchants from the Great Qin Dynasty bowed deeply to Fusu in unison.
Looking at the large number of Daqin merchants gathered in front of the Prince's Mansion, Fusu couldn't react for a while to the 1000 million Qin Dao check from the Xianyang Branch of Daqin Industrial and Commercial Bank that was handed over from the tray.
"Teacher, why...why did they come to Xie Gu?" At this time, Fu Su was a little confused.
Li Yang said with a smile: "These businessmen are grateful to me, Daqin, and to you, Your Highness, for the reform of Daqin's tax law this time, so they begged to enter the palace to express their gratitude."
"That's how it is!" Fu Su heard it, and it turned out that a small reform of the tax law made these businessmen so grateful, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
It was the first time he was thanked by the people, and this feeling gave him a special sense of accomplishment and a sense of mission.
For a long time, the people have been full of resentment and disrespect towards the imperial court.Behind the scenes, I don't know how many people are cursing the court.But today, all this has changed...
Today, there are merchants, representing one hundred thousand merchants in Xianyang, who came to express their gratitude to the imperial court. This is absolutely unprecedented.
Fusu was extremely excited, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little bit of regret in his heart.
It is a pity that the father should not be in Xianyang, otherwise the father must be very pleased to see the merchants of Daqin so grateful to the court!
The emperor's father devoted all his life to the state of Qin, but all he got was infamy.
Tyrant, tyranny...these infamy are endless.
For the sake of the people in the world, all are stable, the six countries are pacified, and the people of the six countries all hate him.
For the people of the world, to protect them from foreign invasions and build the Great Wall, all the people in the world hate it.
In order to prevent the remnants of the six countries from separatist regimes, 12 households of rich people and nobles from the six countries were moved to Xianyang, which was hated by all businessmen in the world.
But today, the hundred thousand merchants who hated the imperial court the most are full of gratitude. This kind of situation is simply something that the emperor dare not even dream of.
But this time, I did it for my father...
Thinking of this, Fusu couldn't hide the excitement and joy in his heart.
Looking at the fiery eyes in front of him, Fusu knew that their gratitude to Da Qin was sincere and not half false.
All of a sudden, Fusu's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he said impassionedly: "The Grand Tutor once said that a person with lofty ideals should establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living people, inherit the sage's knowledge for the past, and create peace for all generations. As the eldest son of Daqin alone, He also bears the responsibility of supervising the country, so he should take it as his own duty to benefit the people of the world! The reform of the tax law in the Great Qin Dynasty is a responsibility born alone, so why should you say thank you!"
All the businessmen were moved when they heard this, and they bowed again and shouted together: "Your Majesty's virtue, we are lucky, and the world is lucky!"
Hearing the praises of all the businessmen, Fusu was naturally extremely happy in his heart.At the same time, he is also full of hope and enthusiasm for Daqin's New Deal.
…………
When the businessman left, Fusu turned around and bowed deeply to Li Yang.
"Your Highness, why is this?" Li Yang quickly stretched out his hand to do a lift.
Fu Su said with a sincere face: "Yang Zi is right. Da Qin can have no Gu, but he can't live without the New Deal, and he can't live without the Grand Tutor. Da Qin can achieve what he is today, all because of the Grand Tutor's merits. The Tai Tuo should be worshiped by the Gu!" "
Li Yang was startled, he never dreamed that Fusu would say such words, and he was extremely moved and gratified in his heart.
"Your Highness, I'm honored. Daqin's achievements today are actually all because of the trust between His Majesty and His Highness. The monarch and his ministers are united to make things possible. How dare I take the credit alone." Li Yang became humble for the first time.
Fu Su held Li Yang's hand, and said with a sincere face: "No matter what happens in the future, even in the future, I will be the king alone, and my trust in the Tai Tuo will be the same as it is today, and it will never change."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Yang bowed deeply, his heart moved.
Fu Su smiled, and then suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, the merchants of the Great Qin Dynasty are so grateful for this reform of the tax law. Are the common people also the same?"
Li Yang nodded: "That's natural. The tax reform has exempted the oral tax. How can the people be grateful to Daqin?"
Fusu nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "How about... let's go to the street to have a look?"
Obviously, this guy didn't enjoy listening to the businessman's praise, and wanted to go outside the palace to listen to the views of the common people.
"can."
Since Fusu had this intention, Li Yang naturally couldn't interrupt his elegant mood, so he agreed directly.
Moreover, for Li Yang, it is actually a good thing for a future prince to care about the evaluation of the people.Because a monarch who cares about the evaluation of the people, he will never be worse.
And if a monarch doesn't care about the evaluation of the people in the world, that's terrible.
Because he can ignore the evaluation of the world, ignore the records of history books, and act willfully without any worries.This kind of monarch will not be a blessing to the people, whether he governs the country intentionally or unintentionally.
Because this kind of monarch has the heart to govern the country, he will do anything for the sake of merit and the effect he wants to see.
For example, if he wants to renovate an old city, he dares to forcibly demolish a city, ignoring the life and death of the people.
It will be even more tragic if this kind of monarch does not have the heart to govern the country.In order to be greedy for pleasure, he used all means to squeeze money from the people. Isn't Qin II in history an example?
All in all, a monarch may not have much ability to govern the country, but as long as he cares about the opinions of the people, the evaluation of the world, and the records in the history books, then he will not dare to do anything wrong. Can you accept your behavior?
This...in fact, it can be summed up in one word: virtue.
Virtue, from straightness, to show the meaning of following the right way.The meaning of this righteous way is the requirement of oneself to oneself, and the requirement of the people of the world to follow.
Fusu cares about the opinions of the people, which also shows that Fusu is indeed a person with "virtue" in his heart.
…………
Fu Su and Li Yang, the two of them left Xianyang Palace very quickly, brought only a team of personal guards, and came to the streets of Xianyang City.
Today's Xianyang City is definitely the most beautiful capital city in the world.
Under the transformation of Fusu, the entire city of Xianyang is thriving with clusters of green plants.
Walk out of the main gate of Xianyang Palace, and outside the square is Xianyang Central Park.
At this time, the Xianyang Central Park was not yet completed, but the square of the Central Park had already been planted with turf and green flowers.
Countless Xianyang people, with their children, are playing on the grass in the Central Park. There are kites in the sky, and laughter is everywhere, and they seem to be full of happiness.
