Baili Yan waved his hand and said, "It's not their place to be dissatisfied. The book merely suggests relaxing merchant policies and elevating the status of merchants. It won't harm the lives of ordinary people."
"Think about it, elevating the status of merchants would encourage many to engage in commerce. More trades and shops mean that when people have idle time from farming, they can find short-term work. Of course, everything has its pros and cons, as the book says, those in power must control it appropriately, so that not everyone rushes into commerce, lest it be putting the cart before the horse."
Prince Qing nodded, "Marquis Changning has thought this through thoroughly."
He pondered for a moment and wanted to ask Marquis Changning how he came up with it, only to realize that Marquis Changning wasn't present.
Baili Yan naturally noticed Prince Qing's movements and said, "Marquis Changning wants to resign, but I stopped him."
