    "I wonder what Mr. Futu thinks?"

    A man's voice interrupted Murphy's contemplation. She raised her head slightly, only to see everyone looking at her, and a short man standing in the center was obviously the one who spoke just now.

    Oops, what did they say? But after a while, the topic of discussion seems to have changed.

    Taking a light breath, Mo Fei said calmly, "Fu Tu's knowledge is superficial, and I deeply feel that you gentlemen have unique insights, I might as well."

    The dwarf man laughed a few times: "Fu Tu is too modest. Although I didn't say a word just now, none of us dare to underestimate you. In my humble opinion, the country is based on people, and people are based on food and clothing. The trees are prosperous, and the interest in farming is sometimes sufficient for food and clothing. Therefore, if the agriculture is prosperous, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. The big merchants will accumulate double interest, and the small ones will sell in rows. Because of their wealth, they communicate with princes and lords. It is the bitterness of the peasants who perish. This is why the merchants annexed the peasants, and the peasants were exiled. Therefore, today’s law should humble the merchants and respect the peasants. I wonder if Mr. Futu approves?”

    It turns out that the topic of "agricultural business" has already been discussed. It's just that this person's point of view is not typical of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce? Although she disagreed, Fu Tu did not intend to refute it. Just when she was about to perfunctory, another man had already refuted: "A virtuous and holy family is not a treasure, and a rich country is not a part. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, but it cannot be Farming and suppressing commerce. Looking at all countries, commerce is all over the world, and all the wealthy and wealthy capitals are nothing but the streets and the five links. The merchants pursue profits and envy, which can accumulate thousands of gold and make the country prosperous and strong. Therefore, suppressing commerce is completely inadvisable."

    "Who is your Excellency?" the short man asked, staring at the man.

    "Gu Xilian's family is Anci, brother Zhao Han is polite."

    The short man known as "Zhao Han" hummed: "It turned out to be a member of the Lian family, no wonder he admires the merchants so much? The prosperity of the merchants actually came from the people's greed. Back then, when the people were more expensive and less demanding, those strangely lewd There is nowhere to play the skills. People are not ancient, so that merchants have the convenience of seeking profit. The merchants are not engaged in production, but they are rich, living extravagantly, buying at a low price and selling at a high price, low moral character, hurting farmers and benefiting themselves. If things go on like this, the country will It may not be rich, but it will certainly damage its national capital.”

    The man named "Anci" was speechless for a while.

    Murphy also admitted that in this era, the merchants were very powerful. Many aristocratic families started their business in business. They made friends with powerful people and made money everywhere. They were rich and could even influence the government. Big businessman.

    It has to be said that Zhao Han dared to put forward the viewpoint of "focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce" in this environment.

    At this time, Lu Yan, who was beside Murphy, said, "Brother Zhao Han's words are too biased. Looking at the Yunding of Yu, Qing's Dipper, and Fuguan Hainei are all famous capitals in the world. Those who live in the land, live in the rush of the five, and cross the street and the road. Therefore, those who are rich in things are prosperous, and those who live close to the market are rich. The wealth is in the skills, not in the labor; the benefits are in the power, not in the labor.”

    Lu Yan's meaning is that the country's prosperity is not in farming but in commerce.

    "The Cloud Cauldron of Yu?" Zhao Han laughed, "I don't need to say more about what the country of Yu looks like today. You all know it. The country of Yu is rich in the world, and there are many merchants, but it is precisely because of this that the country is luxurious and noble. Enjoying daily pleasures, lack of shrewd soldiers, and lack of access to government are the reasons for today’s disaster. Brother Lu Yan, taking this as an example, is there any intention to let the state of Sao follow in its footsteps?”

    Lu Yan's complexion changed, and he quickly glanced at Wu Yue beside him.

    "Hahaha." Second Prince Li Xiao said, "Wudi should take a good look at the diners in the house. If he raises some unscrupulous people, Wudi may be burdened by them!"

    Wu Yue didn't even look at Lu Yan, who was a little nervous beside him. He just said lightly, "Thank you, Second Highness, for your suggestion. The more you have your own measure."

    At this time, Lu Yan's face turned pale again and said, "Brother Zhao Han is serious, how can Lu be loyal to the state of Sang, and how can he have an unruly heart?"

    "Humph." Zhao Han continued persistently, "Yu country is prosperous in commerce, but the atmosphere is corrupt and lustful, the women are extremely slender, the craftsman is extremely skilled, the carving is simple but still rare, and the diamonds seek gold and silver. There is no abyss to ask for pearls, Zhang net to ask for jade, to pay thousands of miles of wealth, it takes a long time to work, it is useless, and it even leads to the destruction of the country. In view of this, shouldn’t our country take this as a warning?”

    I have to say that this Zhao Han is a strong man who can speak well, and he can talk people into desire/immortal/desire/death.

    His several successful refutations made the eldest prince, who was still somewhat disapproving, begin to accept this point of view. The state of Soo prospered and promoted martial arts and culture. Although the development of commerce was not as good as that of Yu and Qing, the life of clan merchants was equally luxurious, and there were many things that used power for personal gain. Everyone took it for granted before, but after Zhao Han said this, Li Chen immediately became cautious, and at the same time decided to recruit this person into his mansion.

    Unlike everyone's thoughts, Murphy listened with relish. This is a real live broadcast of ancient debates. Although she felt that Lu Yan was a little pitiful, she had no plans to stand out for him. After all, it was meaningless to be in the limelight here.

    Although Murphy thought so, there were people who would not let her live in peace. Everyone present looked contemplative, but Mo Fei was at peace, and it was difficult not to be noticed. Moreover, Zhao Han himself is also very interested in him, so after noticing his indifference to the world, Zhao Han asked him again: "Mr. "

    Mo Fei glanced at him blankly, and said, "Your Excellency, I have nothing to teach you about Futu."

    "Fu Tu is too clumsy." Zhao Han smiled, "Does Mr. Fu Tu also agree with what Lu Yan said just now?"

    This question is asking, isn't it a trap for her to drill? Just now, Lu Yan didn't check for a while and was caught by him. He just refuted Yishang, but he was raised to the level of misunderstanding the country. If she agrees at this time, isn't she waiting to be ridiculed? But if she does not agree, then it will conflict with Lu Yan and affect the harmony, and secondly, it will increase his arrogance and make the people of Rong Zhen's house inferior.

    Although she doesn't want to make a comeback, she doesn't want people to be bullied.

    So she nodded: "Mr. Lu Yan just said nothing wrong."

    When this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

    Zhao Han was even more smiling: "Mr. Futu actually agrees? Could it be that our country should learn from Yuguo, vigorously develop commerce, and encourage extravagance?"

    Murphy said, "Why can't you develop your own country's commerce, but encourage the extravagance of other countries?"

    Zhao Han was taken aback: "Why?"

    "Have Mr. Zhao Han noticed what kind of items are most traded by merchants from the state of Suo with other countries?"

    Zhao Han thought for a while and replied: "There are too many items to be traded, and it is difficult to count them."

    "It's food." This is what Wei Xuan and Xu Zhang said when they were chatting, and it should not be too different from the actual situation.

    "food?"

    Murphy nodded: "The merchants of the Su country exchanged a lot of luxurious but not practical valuables for the food, civilian products and various tools of the Yu country. The Yu country's clans are popular in comparison, and they like beautiful clothes and beautiful accessories, so the businessmen of the Su country invest in them. Well, to change its roots with the last, and to deceive the truth, while promoting its extravagance, it increases the strength of the country and reserves abundant resources. From this point of view, the turmoil in the Yu Kingdom is not like the businessmen of the state of Suo. credit?"

    Murphy didn't dwell on the issue of the importance of farming and business, but just refuted Zhao Han's statement that he used the turmoil in Yu to attack Lu Yan, but this alone made Zhao Han speechless. Didn't it say that Yu Guo was extravagant because of its business development? Yes, Yu country is a luxury, but that is because the businessmen of the state of Suo use luxury goods to induce them. But the extravagance of others is the enemy country, who dares to say that this is not merit? Who dares to say that such merchants are not beneficial to the country?

    Zhao Han's complexion changed slightly and his mind changed rapidly, but he didn't think of any reason to refute him.

    After a while, he rekindled his fighting spirit and asked, "Then Mr. Futu thinks that the country should develop business without sacrificing the foundation of the country?" He planned to have a good verbal battle with this jade-like man.

    As soon as this question came up, everyone present concentrated their minds, ready to hear their opinions again.

    Unexpectedly, Murphy only said one sentence: "This question is too advanced, and Futu's knowledge is superficial, so I won't talk about it here."

    The corners of Zhao Han's mouth seemed to be twitching a little. It turned out that he was just "spreading nonsense" by saying so much. Floating map child, can you do more damage?

    The rest of the people who are waiting for more exciting speeches are also disappointed. Isn't this the time to stop eating when they arrive, and to become constipated when they squat in the hut...

    "So, Zhao Han has been taught." The words gritted his teeth, and Zhao Han walked back to his seat with heavy steps. Although he was hit by Murphy, he still did not hide his style, and his eloquence was indeed unmatched. Murphy also knew this, so she just accepted it as soon as she saw it. If she really messed with him again, she estimated that she would be able to bring out some theories of later generations, so she wasn't asking for trouble.

    The eldest prince, Li Chen, looked at Murphy with bright eyes and said, "I just listened to the wonderful debates of a few talented people. This king has benefited a lot. I hope I will have the opportunity to listen to their opinions next time."

    There are Zhao Han and others who are specializing in beauty, and the others do not dare to continue to speak on this topic, so the discussion will continue to the next topic: ritual and music.

    This is really Murphy's weakness. She doesn't even know any musical instruments in this era, so naturally there can be no "high theory".

    Fortunately, Zhao Han is not very interested in this, so this discussion process only acts as an audience.

    "Good job." Wu Yue's cold voice suddenly sounded.

    Mo Fei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this man to praise her at all. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only be silent.

    She doesn't think she has anything to brag about, she prefers to bury her head in research rather than talk aloud.

    Yu Guang inadvertently glanced at Lu Yan next to him. At this moment, this man looked restless and restless. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wu Yue. When Wu Yue attended the meeting in person, his performance was extremely poor. Thinking of Wu Yue's behavior, he was afraid that he would be kicked out of the Rong Zhen Mansion, and even more afraid of being directly hacked to death.

    Naturally, Mo Fei didn't know his fear of Wu Yue. From her point of view, it was normal for him to perform abnormally occasionally, and it would make the master unhappy for a few days at most. But with Wu Yue's character, would he care about this?

    Therefore, she thought that Lu Yan's courage should be practiced again.

    This talent discussion meeting lasted until the evening, the process was ups and downs, all kinds of talents emerged, and the wonderful answers were all unfinished.

    Murphy didn't think such a discussion would be boring either. If it was just to listen in, it would be really interesting.

    When she was about to leave, many talented people took the initiative to greet her and said more words of admiration and admiration.

    After this time, the name "Rong Zhen Guest Qing Futu" will soon spread to the upper layers of the entire moat. Although he only made two speeches, the first time he used a story to save the eldest prince from kneeling at the meeting of scholars in the future; the second time it was just a few short conversations, which made Zhao Han, who is famous for his eloquence, mute. .

    How could she not make her famous with such a demeanor?

    Those who have participated in this discussion have remembered that man who was handsome in appearance, pure in temperament, and had extraordinary demeanor in his speech and demeanor.

    Fu Tu, the word Mozi, the minister of Rong Zhen's house, beautiful in appearance, good at articulation, witty, and restrained.
