Although the Nation of Lintian was peaceful and peaceful now, there had been many conspiracies and tricks in it.
"They dare not do anything openly, but if they prove that I'm not the real Princess Anle, I'm afraid Zuo Qiuchen and Zuo Qiuyu will suffer."
With Long Tianhao around, no matter how much those people hated her, they would not dare to touch her easily.
Moreover, the Lin Family's reputation for being protective of their children was known throughout the country.
It was said that her great-grandfather had rushed over to tear apart the palanquin of a scoundrel prince because his soldiers were beaten up by him.
The prince was so scared that he wet his pants and claimed that he would report it to the emperor.
However, when her great-grandfather returned to the military camp, he immediately ordered his men to punish him with 50 strokes of the stick.
Immediately, his skin and flesh were torn and he lost half of his life.
At that time, the emperor, who knew the character of the Lin Family well, did not reprimand them at all. Instead, he praised the ancestors of the Lin Family.
From then on, the Lin Family's army became more united. And the reputation of the Lin Family for being protective of their children also spread.
Although some people criticized that the ancestors of the Lin Family despised the imperial power.
But Lin Mengya did not think that there was anything wrong with what the ancestors had done.
On the battlefield, the soldiers gave their lives to their generals, so the generals had to treat them as their own family.
Therefore, based on the character of the Lin Family, if the people of the Nation of Lintian dared to harm Lin Mengya.
Her father and brother would probably teach these people a lesson at all costs.
Each of them was more powerful than the other in the dark, but if the calamity of war really broke out, these people would probably escape faster than anyone else.
But this group of people might maliciously slander her two cousins and accuse them of treason. If they were accused of treason, they would not have a good time.
"That's good. I'm relieved as long as Master is not in danger. By the way, Master, I've been wandering around Wangtian City these days. I have something to discuss with you. "
In Baishao's mind, Lin Mengya's words were more effective than an imperial edict.
Therefore, since her master said that there was no danger, she could rest assured.
"Oh? What's the matter? "
Lin Mengya knew that Baishao had been wandering around Wangtian City these days. He thought that she just wanted to see the scenery of another country, but he didn't expect that there was a deeper meaning behind it.
"Over the past few days, I've seen many things in Wangtian City that the State of Jin doesn't have or are extremely expensive. But here, it was just a very common object. For example, herbs, vegetables, fresh fruits, and so on. The difference between them and Dajin was more than ten times that of Dajin. In the State of Jin, it was still hard to find. So I thought, why not transport some from the Nation of Lintian and sell them in Dajin? "
Baishao's idea was too idealistic. If it was so easy to establish trade relations, the merchants of the two countries would have done it long ago.
However, Lin Mengya did not say anything to discourage Baishao. Instead, she gestured for her to continue.
At first, Baishao felt a little shy of showing off in front of an expert. But when she saw her master's interested eyes, she seemed to be encouraged and her thoughts gradually became smoother.
"I've asked the caravans that came to trade. Actually, they also want to sell these things back. However, the taxes paid by the two countries are different. In short, after paying the taxes for both countries, the cost has increased by at least 40%. Take the fragrant rice, a specialty of the Nation of Lintian. If you want to buy this kind of rice in the Nation of Lintian, you have to pay local taxes. However, it is not sold locally, so the cost has increased by 10%. If you want to transport it out, you have to pay two kinds of taxes in the Nation of Lintian. Then, when you enter Dajin, you have to pay at least three kinds of taxes. In this way, before the fragrant rice is sold, the cost has increased by 60%. Including the labor, it has increased by 100% to break even. "
Baishao's words also made Lin Mengya understand why these goods could not be freely circulated in large quantities.
Perhaps it was because of the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce in the past, the tax system of the various countries was not clear.
Some tax officials even used various excuses to exploit the merchants.
Therefore, the cost of some goods had increased by a lot.
However, this wasn't something that could be changed in a short period of time. If it was someone else, it might not be possible.
But if it was Lin Mengya, she might really be able to do it.
"The tax system is related to the foundation of the two countries. If you want to change it, I'm afraid it can't be done in a short period of time. "
Lin Mengya said softly. Baishao nodded, so she knew that she was just daydreaming.
But unexpectedly, his master's next words changed the topic and he said, "I'm sorry, but I didn't expect him to change the topic.
"However, if the two countries can change their tax system, what you said will be possible."
Baishao looked at Lin Mengya, not understanding what she meant.
"Cousin Chen promised me that if I can help him settle the matter of the Pavilion of Herbs, he will give me the monopoly of the business in the Nation of Lintian. I think he wants me to help him develop the economy. In this case, I can ask Cousin Chen to change the tax system, and then provide convenience for us. "
Lin Mengya thought for a while and understood Zuo Qiuchen's intention.
To put it bluntly, the operation of the country, from top to bottom, needed real money.
Money was needed to expand the territory, and money was needed to stabilize the country.
Given Cousin Chen's shrewdness, if he gave the business power to any of his subordinates, he would be in danger of nurturing a tiger.
But if it was Lin Mengya, it would be much safer.
Moreover, she believed that when the business was developed, her generation would be old.
Her control would be weakened, and the next generation of Cousin Chen would reap the benefits without doing anything.
Of course, this was only her idea. Cousin Chen might not have such a sinister idea.
But no matter what, it was the people of the two countries who would benefit.
"Then, what about Dajin?"
Baishao widened her eyes and looked at her master in disbelief. She had to admit that this idea was … too crazy!
"It's even easier to deal with Dajin. Don't we have the prince?"
Lin Mengya already had a rough idea in her mind. However, this matter was too big, and she would need to spend a lot of energy to deal with it.
Moreover, she was not the only one who had the wisdom.
She had to admit that she was smart, but her ability was limited when it came to the wisdom of two countries.
"But this is something that only the emperor can deal with. No matter how powerful the prince is, he can't be more powerful than the emperor! "
Baishao was just saying it casually, but her words fell into Lin Mengya's heart.
The emperor? The emperor of Dajin?
If the Crown Prince really ascended the throne, the first people he would deal with would be Long Tianhao and the Lin family.
In this case …
"Since only the emperor can deal with this matter, let's appoint an emperor who can do it for us."
Lin Mengya's words shocked Baishao.
Did she hear it wrong? What did her master just say?
Appoint an emperor? Oh my god, this was more important than the sky!
Baishao widened her eyes and looked at her master.
"I was just joking. Look at you, you took it seriously."
She laughed to cover it up.
But Lin Mengya knew that although she didn't want to get involved in the battle of inheritance, she had to. For the sake of her future, she had to get involved.
If Long Tianhao could become the emperor …
She suddenly froze. Since ancient times, no matter if the emperor was a wise or incompetent one, it was inevitable for him to have three palaces and six courtyards.
If Long Tianhao really became the emperor, could she really accept it?
Lin Mengya shook her head and felt that it was too early for her to think about it.
She would leave the matters in the future to her future self to worry about.
The horse carriage left Wangtian City and soon they were out of the territory that Zuo Qiuchen had complete control over.
It would take at least a month to reach the old capital.
This was also the reason why the old officials refused to move the capital no matter what.
Who would arrange for the capital to be so close to the enemy's country?
After a day of riding in the horse carriage, they finally arrived at another city in the evening.
Sitting in the horse carriage, Lin Mengya and Baishao couldn't help looking out of the window curiously to see how this place was different from Dajin.
"Master, I used to think that the girls in the Capital City were all outstanding, but I didn't expect that the girls in the Nation of Lintian were even more beautiful."
The climate in the Nation of Lintian was much more humid than Dajin because it was surrounded by the sea on three sides.
The girls and boys here were much fairer and more delicate.
Compared to the dignified and dignified style popular among the ladies in Dajin, they were more romantic and unrestrained.
Lin Mengya also felt that her eyes were not enough to take in everything. Those little things that she had never seen before aroused her maiden heart that she had not seen for a long time.
"Well, if we have time next time, we must come here to have a good meal and play."
Lin Mengya said with some regret. Come to think of it, she used to be a homebody.
Apart from attending classes, she worked part-time and stayed at home alone.
Now that she had become a rich young lady, she was even busier.
As a woman, it was natural for her to like to go shopping, but it only happened a few times.
Sigh, it was not easy to live such a life of not being able to spend money!
"Well! When you've recovered, we'll buy some gifts for the country bumpkins at home. I'm really indebted to you, Master. I'm so envious of them after coming out of Wangtian City! "
Baishao and Lin Mengya must have chatted and laughed on the way out of Wangtian City, and Baishao became much more lively.
At this moment, she was counting with her fingers, calculating the gifts for her family.
Lin Mengya let Baishao calculate, and leaned against the window, looking at the passing crowds and peddlers.
Were these the scenery that her mother had seen before?
Apart from the kinship left in her heart in the past.
She was very interested in this woman, who was known as the most outstanding woman in Dajin and the Nation of Lintian.
According to her father, they met in the chaos.
