After listening to Qin Feng's story, Min Ruoxi widened her eyes and said, "Isn't this Ruan Fu just a fraud? The cost of printing such a so-called prize card is only a few cents. No matter how large the amount is, the cost is almost negligible, but he sold one tael of silver. Although there are indeed winners, 99% of the people will definitely get nothing, and pay without rewards. This is not right."

"That's not the case. If I also bought this prize card, then I would at least buy a hope, right? Even if the hope was lost in the end, it would be only a tael of silver. In reality, everyone has a lot of hope, but how many people can really realize them one by one?" Qin Feng explained.

Min Ruoxi thought for a while, "You are such a sophistry, I can't tell you, but I just think this is a bad thing."

"If this matter is done by an individual, it is indeed inappropriate. With this precedent, everyone wants to get a share of the pie. Everyone wants to take advantage of the situation without doing production, but it will be different for the court to do this."

"So Geng Jingming will threaten and seduce Ruan Fu?"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "This matter is indeed a profitable business. If it is done by the court, you can get a lot of wealth and take it from the people and use it for the people. The money will eventually be used for the people. Geng Mingming said that the money raised in this way will be invested in taking care of the widows, widows, orphans in the country, disaster relief and school management. In this way, you can not only do good things, but also save a lot of expenses. You should know that after we take down Chu State next year, with the current situation of Chu State, the money we need to fill in is probably not what we can imagine."

When talking about Chu State, Min Ruoxi was silent for a moment before she said, "Then what happened to Yue Yao you just mentioned?"

"The bosses of several industry associations under Yueyao put pressure on her, believing that Ruan Fu's behavior was just a fantastic business method, not a fraud, so Yueyao officially wrote to the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Justice Tang did not find the corresponding law from the law, which was a bit embarrassing."

"Since there is no corresponding law, I can only let people go." Min Ruoxi thought for a while, "After all, I cannot make a random crime, and I cannot convince the public. Did Yue Yao do anything wrong in this matter?"

"It's not that Yue Yao did something wrong, but the matter itself." Qin Feng looked at Min Ruoxi and said, "I think this is the beginning of the big businessman's political awareness."

"What does it mean?" Min Ruoxi looked at Qin Feng in confusion.

"We, the Ming Dynasty, have been desperately suppressing the powerful and vigorously cracking down on land annexation since the Taiping Army. When we solved the clan tyrants in the past, we consciously directed the excess funds in their hands to business. Over the years, the clan tyrants entrenched in the local area have indeed been destroyed, but another huge class, the big merchants. Our Ming Dynasty, we are afraid that the big merchants in Yuejing alone can compare with the number of big merchants in the entire country of Qi."

Min Ruoxi flattened her mouth, "Just a group of businessmen, what is there to worry about? No power, no power, no land, no soldiers, if you really want to deal with them, one or two prison guards will be enough."

"What you are talking about is like the Qi State, and our Ming Dynasty is not like this." Qin Feng shook his head: "After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I was exempted from labor service and lighted agricultural taxes. The purpose is to encourage farming and serenity so that most of the people who farmed can live a relaxed and richer life. However, in the country's taxes, they rely extremely on merchants. Nearly 70% of the taxes in the national treasury come from merchants. Do you understand? If we attack merchants, then the attack is the country's economy. Even if we find a reason to deal with one or two merchants, others will inevitably feel sad about the death of a rabbit and fox, and they will inevitably become entangled and have some demands. This time, Ruan Fu's affairs are just a reason. Those big merchants began to show their strength and want to make a difference in politics."

After pausing, he continued: "No farmers are stable, no business is rich, and now businessmen are beginning to realize their value."

"Now they can't make waves." Min Ruoxi said decisively.

"Now, we can't make waves." Qin Feng smiled and nodded in agreement with Min Ruoxi's point of view. "But what decades later, hundreds of years later? These businessmen have realized this. With their peeing nature, they will inevitably work hard in this direction. Think about it, they have enough money, their children can receive better education and have a broader vision. In the future Ming Dynasty political arena, these people had an absolute advantage over poor children at the beginning of their inception. There is no doubt that this kind of competition is unfair in the future political arena."

"Old Secretary Xiao opened a school widely, and all poor children can enter the school. They can grow and harvest. Can poor children achieve outstanding talents without outstanding talents?" Min Ruoxi asked back.

"This is just one of the ways to solve this problem, but it cannot completely solve this problem. Most of the peasant children, who study, probably only hold on to solving the problem of blindness at the beginning. How many of them have been determined to do something since childhood? They do not have that vision, nor do their parents do. Of course, outstanding talents will definitely appear, but compared to the children of rich people, the number will be much smaller. The birth of such an elite class will slowly control our Ming Dynasty in the years to come." Qin Feng said.

"I'm really a little creepy after hearing what you said. Since you have thought of it, have you ever thought of a solution?" Min Ruoxi frowned and asked.

Qin Feng shook his head: "No."

"Doesn't that mean to suppress the big business class from now on? Just destroy their fantasies?"

"If we do this, we will be like breaking our own wings." Qin Feng decisively rejected, "Without the merchants' goods from north to south and east to east, who will we collect taxes from the Ming Dynasty and increase taxes from farmers? The Ming Dynasty farmers who are used to low tax life will also be angry. Isn't this a pleasing place? And now we are at a critical moment, and we cannot lack these people."

"When you say this, won't there be no way? In this way, their power will become stronger and stronger, and they will be uncontrollable in the future. Think about it, by then, they will have countless wealth in their hands and can control the direction of the court's policy. One day, they will be uncontrollable."

Qin Feng looked at Min Ruoxi with his eyebrows raised, and couldn't help laughing: "You are thinking too much. If you want to complete this process, it will be impossible for them to do it without dozens or hundreds of years. How could we now realize this problem and we will naturally come up with a solution in the future. If there is no solution now, it does not mean that there will be no solution in the future. When the wheel of history rolls forward, different problems will be encountered at different stages, but no matter what the problem is, we will eventually find corresponding solutions."

"I heard you say this, it seems that I am not allowed to take care of it. Do you leave this trouble to our son?" Min Ruoxi said angrily, "I'm afraid that by then, the power of these people will be uncontrollable."

"Maybe in our son's generation, he can come up with a better way to resolve this problem." Qin Feng laughed. "Does you still want to solve all the problems for your son? If you solve this for him, there will naturally be new problems. In any era, there will be different contradictions. Our main contradiction now is the problem of unifying the world. Although these internal problems need to be paid attention to, they are far from rising at this stage you think."

Seeing that Qin Feng was a little dissatisfied, Min Ruoxi said angrily: "If you don't care, I still have to care."

"Don't use mantra." Qin Feng reminded.

"Don't worry!" Min Ruoxi said: "The left and right will not have an impact on the overall situation. Since it is inevitable for these people to enter the political arena in the future, I have to start making arrangements in advance. At that time, they will be internalized into various parts, and each has different demands. I want to see how they can be together. As long as they can't twist into a rope and often fall into a fight, it will not be a climate."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "If you have time and leisure, you can have fun. In fact, since I have noticed this problem now, I will naturally be prepared for the future political layout and try to extend the time of this contradiction. We have solved the problem of the annexation of the land of the clan and wealthy families, so that the imperial power will not go to the countryside. We have to bear the current problem. A country will always appear and dominate the country. In fact, it is a process of constantly solving problems. Once a certain problem cannot be solved, it will be time for a dynasty to change."

In fact, Qin Feng knew very well that if Min Ruoxi was determined to do something, the energy that could burst out was quite amazing. Just like Li Zhi, who planned to do Qin State, Min Ruoxi was amazed at the moment, joined forces with the Three Kingdoms, mobilized several great masters, and finally let Li Zhi die eventually. Now Min Ruoxi probably felt that this special class of the Ming Dynasty would threaten the rule of her son or grandson at a certain point in the future, and would definitely work hard to plan and prevent such things from happening. Without harming the Ming Dynasty's economy, Qin Feng didn't care at all.

The meat is rotten in the pot and it will not be cheaper for outsiders.

He looked up at the sky, clapped his hands and stood up, "It's getting late, I'm afraid that the kitten and Tian Kang have arrived now, so I have to see them. I'll come back for dinner tonight. Don't forget to call Xiao Wen and Xiaowu. I haven't seen them for several days."
