Nangong Shouzhong felt that the Crown Princess in front of him was very unreasonable.

But he has no choice.

This is power.

The Crown Princess is obviously arrogant, so what can she do?

Nangong Shouzhong frowned, and he smiled bitterly: "Empress, the court is in trouble, so we are naturally obliged to help, but since it is aid, we cannot be so unreasonable?"

"presumptuous!"

A guard scolded: "Don't be rude to the Empress!"

“It’s okay.”

Su Jinpa said lightly: "I have said it before, everyone can speak freely."

Hearing this, the guard retreated.

But his eyes were still staring at Nangong Shouzhong, as if he would immediately draw his sword toward him as long as he had any disrespectful words.

Nangong Shouzhong frowned. He bravely looked up at Su Jinpa and said in a deep voice: "Please wait for me and give businessmen all over the world a way out."

These words tied all the merchants in the world to the people in the Taishan Pavilion to fight against Su Jinpa.

But Su Jinpa doesn't like his trick at all.

"The first thing a businessman needs to do a living is a stable social environment. If the country is not a country and the nation is bullied by foreign enemies, the people will inevitably suffer from misery."

"If people can't talk about life, how can you business people do business and make money?"

Su Jinpatanmo said: "So the stability and prosperity of the country is not only the affairs of the court, but also the affairs of all people in the world and everyone in all walks of life."

"The court has provided you with a stable and prosperous environment so that you can have business to do, trade to do, and money to make money."

Su Jinpa's eyes fell on Nangong Shouzhong and said calmly: "What's more, the court is selling national debts to you, borrowing and repaying them, and not asking you to spend a lot of money for nothing. This is all a big obstacle. If the court's knife can't cut you, you are a group of unkind businessmen?"

Su Jinpa's words were like a loud slap on the face of a rich man, making them angry and dare not speak out.

But that's not the end.

Su Jinpa's eyes were cold and his expression became colder. He spoke: "Now, no matter the industry, the level of the Qin Dynasty, the industry, the thickness of profits, will be levied uniformly with 30 taxes and one. With such a low tax rate, do you have the nerve to say that you have made contributions to the court?"

"If the court significantly increases the tax rate tomorrow, what do you all want?"

For the merchants in the current Qin Empire, it is simply a tax paradise.

The ratio of thirty taxes is much lower than that of any other profession.

Even farmers have reached the level of five taxes and one tax, or even four taxes and one tax, which is not considered to be those who have been forcibly deducted by landlords.

When farmers work in the fields for a year, they must pay at least one-fifth or even one-quarter of the harvest as tax.

But when merchants make thirty cents of copper coins, they only need to pay one cent as tax payment, and they try their best to evade taxes. In this way, the merchant group has indeed taken too much advantage.

Nangong Shouzhong and others frowned, but no one dared to refute Su Jinpa's words.
