When the economy improved, the country would naturally become rich.
Since the entire country had become rich, how could there be a lack of soldiers and horses?
Lin Yuelan gave many suggestions regarding the business sector. One of them was to pay attention to the status of merchants. Secondly, merchants had to pay business taxes. Lastly, merchants could also take the imperial examination.
In the past, merchants would also pay taxes, but it was much lighter than the agricultural tax. It was like the difference between a thousand taels of silver and a tael of silver.
Therefore, although the status of merchants was lower than that of farmers, they were better off. Other than the fact that merchants could not pursue official careers, they could still enjoy glory and wealth.
