When Shen An first met Zhao Zhongzhen, he was still a naughty half-grown child, and he ran around the world with Yang Mo.

As the situation outside the palace changes, this half-aged child is gradually becoming sensible and mature.

Zhao Yunrang was old and Zhao Zongshi was mentally disintegrated. In the huge county prince’s mansion, Zhao Zhongzhen had to stand up to share the worries of his grandfather who loved him.

Zhao Zhen was looking at him and nodded slightly.

In many cases, things like emperors do not depend on how capable you are, but more on your attitude.

Attitude determines everything!

Zhao Zhongzhen's attitude was very serious. He spoke his opinion seriously. He did not have gorgeous rhetoric, but just used the simplest living to describe the lives of the lower class people.

It is not gorgeous, but it shocks the emperor and the prime minister.

They were looking at the young royal family and talking about their discoveries seriously.

"you……"

Zhao Zhen felt that he had seen some of his own shadow back then.

However, he was not so free back then, and could leave the palace and wander around at any time.

He even felt a little envious, "Why are the people suffering?"

If it was an appetizer before, then now it is a big meal.

The prime ministers immediately cheered up.

Zhao Zhongzhen did not hesitate and said, "The people's hardship lies in taxes."

Taxation is a sensitive topic, so Zhao Zongjiang avoided this topic, but Zhao Zhongzhen chose to face it directly.

Fu Bi's eyes were full of curiosity. He wanted to know whether Zhao Zhongzhen was ignorant and fearless, or... confident.

Zhao Zhen was also very curious, so he asked: "May be solved? How to solve it?"

This question is too big. Not to mention Zhao Zhongzhen, even the prime ministers can only be helpless.

Fu Bi smiled slightly, feeling that the issue of the official family was a bit too much. But he also wanted to see Zhao Zhongzhen's response.

Can't answer, still in a panic...

This is the time to test your demeanor.

But the emperor does not need to have anything else, but his demeanor is indispensable.

Zhao Zhongzhen thought for a while, "Taxes are based on the standard. The standard of taxes in the Song Dynasty. I think it is better to be based on the people's ability... to be able to live."

These words seemed to be understanding of these kings and ministers, but they seemed to have a slap, which made them feel ache in their faces.

The people are just alive.

Are you okay?

Fu Bi was looking at Zhao Zhongzhen, trying to see if he was intentionally sarcastic.

As long as you are alive!

Is this a high requirement?

Zhao Zhen felt a little hot on his face, "What about taxes?"

The expenses of the Song Dynasty were too great, so great that Zhao Zhen dared not reduce taxes. Every time he was in the suburban sacrifice, he said he wanted to reduce taxes, but after he came down, the prime ministers only needed to tell him that once the tax was reduced, the Song Dynasty would not survive, and all his kindness could only dissipate helplessly.

So he said countless times that he wanted to reduce taxes, but in the end he could only stay verbally. The Song Dynasty was still the same.

Zhao Zhongzhen was a little disappointed, and he remembered Chen An's words.

Take your time, we are young and don’t worry. Innovation is never a simple matter. If you try to work in one go, it is either naive or have other intentions.

He suppressed the regret in his heart and said, "There are also local officials. I only realized this time when I went down. It turns out that in addition to taxes, the greed of local officials has added fuel to the fire..."

"What else?"

Zhao Zhen gradually became more happy.

Does this young man have such insight?

But he was worried that this was Chen An or the teachings of others, so he couldn't help but ask.

Fu Bi felt that it was almost done, and it was rare for Zhao Zhongzhen to say this.

But he was also looking at Chen An.

You manipulated this matter behind the scenes, right?

"And... the people are very miserable, the officials are very slippery, the officials are... the officials are wise."

puff!

While everyone was serious, this laughter broke the atmosphere like a fart.

Chen Zhongheng covered his mouth and looked at those gazes, and couldn't help feeling another pain in the hemorrhoids.

Zhao Zhen's eyes were not good, so he slowly moved away from Chen Zhongheng.

Although this guy is a little flattering, he knows how to behave, and...and I am nostalgic!

Zhao Zhen decided to let him go, but when he turned around, he saw the prime ministers who were holding back their laughter.

It was only heavy that everyone thought that Zhao Zhongzhen was a good boy who was worried about the country and the people, but he suddenly flattered and said that the government was wise.

This turn is too fast and makes people laugh.

Zhao Zhen also smiled and said, "For thousands of years, the people in power have suffered. Those who rule the country just want to make their hard life better. If everyone lives a good life, how much money and food will they get?"

Fu Bi praised: "There are many wealth in the world and there are only a certain number of people. If there are more people, there will be fewer courts, so we need to reduce expenses..."

He began to elaborate on his economic theory, and Zhao Zhongzhen couldn't help but look confused: "Fu Xiang, how can the wealth in the world be fixed?"

Fu Bi frowned and said, "There are only so many things in the world, why aren't there a fixed number?"

Zhao Zhongzhen shook his head and said, "No, this is not right. I dare to ask the rich, where does wealth come from?"

Yoho!

Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing, and Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang also laughed.

How experienced Fu Bi is, you actually want to argue with him...

Zhao Zhen gave Chen An a wink and signaled him to stop Zhao Zhongzhen.

This boy is still good, at least he didn't do anything perfunctory, but completed the task of experiencing the people's sentiments by himself.

The people from the Imperial City Department have been reporting on Zhao Zhongzhen's every move outside the city, very detailed.

The boy was very serious.

Zhao Zhen likes serious teenagers, which will make him forget the situation of getting along with a group of old foxes every day.

That's why he tolerated Zhao Zhongzhen's travelogue descriptions before.

It is because of the tolerance in the previous world that the joy we are now brought about.

This boy is good, he is a little aggressive, and he doesn't know who he looks like.

He looked at Chen An again, remembering the guy's "war record" in the court, and couldn't help but complain.

If I learn from Chen An's hatred of evil, Zhao Zhongzhen will probably not have a good life in the future!

Fu Bi also found it funny and said, "Wealth comes from the fields and from the mines. There are roughly a few things, and there are so many changes. Can you still create wealth?"

This is the most popular wealth theory at this moment. Sima Guang admires it the most, and uses it as a basis to implement his theory that "the world's wealth has a certain amount".

This is a philosophical economic problem!

Chen An covered his forehead, but as a result, he moved a little harder and made a sound, attracting the attention of the king and his ministers.

Zhao Zhen coughed dryly and said, "Do you have something to say?"

The question is too big, and Zhao Zhen felt that Zhao Zhongzhen could not answer it, and the young man would inevitably feel embarrassed, so he prepared to sneak Chen Anti out as a shield.

This is an honor, and I can only let you come out to block the gun if I can trust you.

Chen An thought of itchy and sprayed it, but in the end he just stopped his thoughts with regret.

Zhao Zhongzhen can deal with this.

If he didn't come out, Zhao Zhen and the prime ministers thought that they could not argue with Fu Bi, so they just pretended to be stupid.

This person's character is not good!

Didn’t you wear a pair of pants with Zhao Zhongzhen? Why are you shrunk now?

This person... is such a scum!

The prime ministers shook their heads slightly, but Xiao Qing was a little excited and whispered: "Where is your loyalty?"

Chen An smiled. In Xiao Qing's eyes, this smile seemed to be guilty, so he became proud.

"Your Majesty, the wealth of the world has never been a fixed number."

Zhao Zhongzhen's expression was serious. He knew that every word he said at this moment would determine the future fate of the Prince's Mansion.
