Zhu Youning fooled County Lord Anhe, and kept it in mind that the other party would take revenge on her family.

Who knew that after more than ten days, there was no movement. County Lord Anhe seemed to have never appeared in the Zhu family. If it weren't for the fact that Bai had a little awkward for accusing Zhu Youning last time, Zhu Youning almost doubted whether County Lord Anhe's affairs were her hallucinations.

The Zhu family's business of the Royal Cotton and Coarse Cotton cloth undertook the Royal Shopping Cotton cloth is in full swing. The cloth factory is busy with production. As the owner of the cloth factory, the second uncle Zhu Huazhang was in the Zhu family for a while.

On this day, at the summary meeting at the end of the month at the Zhujia cloth factory, Zhu Huazhang talked about one thing.

"I only learned the news. On the front day, some ministers in the court submitted a memorial to the emperor, hoping that the court could recognize the status of merchants. But as soon as it was proposed, it was refuted by the ministers."

"There is still such a thing?"

All the officials present whispered when they heard this.

"In the previous sentence of the Holy Ancestor, we can't stand up because of business. Even if we have more money, we dare not show off when walking outside? In fact, many of the wealthy families, including those in the court, have more or less business."

"That's right. Without merchants, who can guarantee that the food and use of those nobles at home are all produced by themselves? Do they buy nothing?"

"Shh! I dare not shout so loudly. You are disrespectful to the Holy Ancestors."

...

Zhu Youning couldn't help but look thoughtful when he listened to these people's comments.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had no business registration, and the existence of merchants was not recognized since the founding of the dynasty. Emperors of all dynasties followed the "Holy Ancestors" and never thought of recognizing the status of merchants.

However, once a country gets rid of the war era and the people live and work in peace, it will be impossible for a simple farming and living a meal to meet the needs of ordinary people. Therefore, businessmen will come into being.

The kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty were bound by the teachings of the Holy Ancestors, and they never verbally refused to recognize the status of merchants. In fact, the treasury of the emperor wanted to recruit imperial merchants to make money?

While despising merchants, they also want to use merchants. The whole country despises the existence of merchants from top to bottom, but everyone's lives cannot be separated from merchants. Now, merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty are in such an embarrassing position.

Zhu Youning felt that this situation should indeed be improved.

However, if an official in the court submitted a memorial to this matter, it would be a bit risky if it were not for the emperor's instructions. After all, this is a proposal to break the norm, and once the status of a merchant is improved, it may affect the interests of the scholars and officials.

Regardless of whether the Lord allows this matter or not.

Through this incident, Zhu Youning smelled some wind directions.

Because from the experience of later generations, once the Great Zhou recognized the status of merchants, the next step would be to use merchants to create taxes.

Merchants are rich, and there are countless merchants in the world. As long as the country is willing to recognize the status of merchants and give them some legal guarantees, then the amount of commercial tax is a huge income for the Dazhou, which is more beneficial than disadvantages to promoting the economic development of the Dazhou.

Zhu Youning pursed her lips. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wonder whether the minister who wrote a memorial was a naughty man or who had received some instructed him to be the one who dismantled the fish head.

After Zhu Youning returned home, he told Zhu Huating what he saw today.

Zhu Huating held his arms and pondered for a moment before saying, "This is inevitable. Although there were scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in history, ranks the status of merchants at the last level, at that time, they recognized the household registration of merchants and the state would also have a policy of protecting merchants.

"Existence is the truth. Since we had a merchant household registration at that time, then our Great Zhou will definitely go to that point if we continue to develop, because history is always rolling in a wheel-like manner."

"Heroes have similar views!" Zhu Youning looked up at Zhu Huating with a smile, "Dad and daughter think about going together, so I feel the same way!"

Her soft, obedient and cute daughter, said something like a little adult, "Heroes have similar views", which made Zhu Huating laugh so much that she patted Zhu Youning's shoulder with her big hand, and she couldn't stop laughing for a long time.

Bai was holding Xiaozhuang Brother, following Siliu, and came out of the main room. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile: "What are these two men laughing at? They actually laughed like this."

Zhu Huating smiled at Bai Shi and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, I just think Fu Ya'er is really cute, smart, and accurate in seeing things. Such a smart child is actually my Zhu Zichen's daughter, I'm so happy!"

Bai's family has been scolded by Zhu Huating every ten days, mainly because she scolded Zhu Youning that day, and she was still feeling uncomfortable.

But seeing that Zhu Huating and Zhu Youning had a great time talking, and that the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation were earned by Zhu Youning, her mother's food, accommodation and enjoyment were all from her daughter, but she could not protect her daughter. She felt guilty.

Moreover, Bai gradually found that the common topics between him and Zhu Youning were getting fewer and fewer.

For example, now, if Zhu Youning has any problems or analysis, both of them can discuss it in full swing, and she is just like a duck listening to thunder while she is on the side.

After all, Bai's family came back to the point and felt ashamed of their daughter, and they also felt a sense of distance.

If she still questioned Zhu Youning's decision because of a little selfishness, then she could only push her daughter further and further.

She was so outstanding that her daughter was happy and even proud. But she couldn't speak and many of her ideas couldn't keep up with the two of them.

Bai often reflects on herself. She wants to get along well with her daughter, but she doesn't want to have any misunderstandings or estrangements anymore.

"Fu Ya'er is following you, so she is so smart. I don't understand what you said."

Zhu Youning was a little surprised when he heard Bai Shi say this.

Seeing Bai's slightly shy and flattering smile, Zhu Youning understood in his heart.

It seems that Zhu Huating's persuasion to Bai Shi worked. Although Zhu Youning was closer to Zhu Huating between her parents, Bai Shi was indeed wholeheartedly devoted to her and was a loving mother.

This is enough for Zhu Youning.

"I did follow my father, but I also follow my mother, so I became better by combining the advantages of my parents. I have the wisdom of my father and mother, so I must be smarter than my father."

Zhu Youning was so serious that Zhu Huating was amused and laughed again.

Seeing that Zhu Youning was as usual, Bai also put down the big stone hanging under his heart.

She was a little excited for a moment, "It's too late today. I'll make more food for you at home tomorrow. After I leave at noon, I'll tell you to Mr. Luo Laoshan and go home to have a meal."

Zhu Youning tilted his head and thought, "I'll have an appointment with Mr. Yan at noon tomorrow to thank him for his help last time. In fact, I made an appointment with him for a long time. Because he has a lot of business in charge of the imperial merchants, he has to wait for the appointment. Will my mother make delicious food for me tomorrow night?"
