Bai Xiangru nodded slightly, and in response to Li Le's words, he said: "The third prince is right, not to mention that Xuanyi has already made a name for himself in the entire rivers and lakes, in the words of the people in the rivers and lakes, it can be regarded as a mountain and a cabinet." ”

"Even the silver money obtained from the raid of those exterminated sects and green forest cottages this time is a huge amount of 22.8 million taels. This is not counting the 18,480,000 taels of silver obtained by the local investigation of corrupt officials and the handing over to the state treasury. Coupled with the annual bonus silver and this information system after taking over the Blue and White Club, these gains are simply immeasurable. ”

"So, as the third prince said, this harvest is very huge. But such a harvest must have a strong backlash in the court. Regarding the affairs of the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to bear it. ”

When the prince heard him say this, he nodded slightly, and his heart was both happy and sad. I am happy because of the excellent harvest of Xuanyi this time, but I am sad because of the disadvantages of the big businessmen.

sighed and said, "Hearing Mr. Xiangru say this, the lonely heart is really mixed with five flavors. Lone really couldn't imagine that it was just an inventory of Xuanyi, and the total harvest was enough to cover two years of the empire's taxes. ”

"Alas, how greedy are these people!? The martial arts sect, the local heroes, and the local government are colluding layer by layer! In the end, it is the cornerstone of my great business, the people who carry the water of the boat!"

"Now it's just a few ninth-rate gangs and some unpopular officials, and the biggest one is the deacon in Luoyang who participates in politics from Sanpin. If you investigate further, these top Jianghu forces of the seven factions and eight gangs, as well as the governors of the local shepherds, how much are they greedy?"

"For a war against the West, the father spent 50 million taels of silver accumulated in the national pants, so that the national pants are now empty, and he was accused by those imperial historians of being reckless and ruthless, and there is a style of Han martial arts. It seems like a joke now!"

"If they extort a penny from the people, it will be enough to cover the national currency spent in the last war against the West! And they still have the face to say that the father and emperor are reckless in military force? What a big joke! How much blood has this big businessman been sucked by their gang!"

Speaking of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little excited, as if he had noticed the gaffe at this moment, sighed, but said with a smile on his face: "Fortunately, Gu Youzhian and you, let Gu see their faces clearly! Otherwise, Gu will definitely be the king of this great business!"

Bai Xiangru heard this, sighed, arched his hand and said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, the old man was born in a family of cultivation and study, and all the tragedies he encountered were unbearable. With all due respect, if this goes on for a long time, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the king of the dead country, this great business is only a matter of three or two generations. ”

This is very polite, Bai Xiangru is such a personality. He can forbear, he can compromise, and he can do whatever it takes to his ends. However, he never gave up on his beliefs.

Mo Xichao continued: "Since the founding of the country two hundred years ago, the fortunes of the country have been extremely prosperous, and from the perspective of historical laws, it is only the beginning of the five virtues. But in the following view, Huaxia can die at the hands of the Chinese, but not under the iron hooves of foreign races. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Xichao tightened the trench coat on his body, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, please think about it, in the pre-Qin period, Han Fei once said: Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." This statement is not unfounded. In the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu set the outline of the monarch and the minister, the outline of the father and the son, which is the so-called three outlines and five constants. ”

So that Confucianism ran rampant all over the world. If it weren't for Emperor Taizu of this dynasty to turn the tide, my Han family would only be trampled on by foreign races, and the matter of chaos would not be far away. Mo said bluntly, the grandfather has merit, the merit is too great, there is too much, too deep. ”

"If it weren't for Taizu's proposal to be martial, there would not be the current situation where the martial arts are full of powerful people colluding with the local government, so that our big merchants and ordinary people are being exploited. ”

Li Le waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's too biased to say this, in my opinion, Taizu has seven points of merit and three points." ”

As soon as Li Le finished saying this, the prince hurriedly asked, "What's the explanation?"

Zhu Xiaoying has never encountered such a scruples-free discussion scene. The Tai teachers who taught him in the past would only sing praises of virtue, how great Taizu was, and how wise Taizong was. He obviously saw a lot of loopholes in combination with the current dynasty and the book, but he didn't dare to speak out. It made him feel bad.

At this moment, he listened to Bai Xiangru and Mo Xichao's arguments, and felt unprecedented freshness. He is not an ignorant prince who has lived in the hands of a woman in the deep palace for a long time, he has his own beliefs and ideals. The ten generations of kings of the Great Shang Dynasty have had tyrants and holy kings, but there has never been a faint king.

Before all kings ascended the throne, they had received special training from the previous emperor to participate in political affairs, which was the ancestral training. I understand what it means to listen partially and at the same time, so I never prohibit speech.

But Mo Xichao's previous words are a bit rebellious, "Huaxia can die in the hands of Chinese people", this is one, and the second is the remarks about the Great Shang Taizu, "The merit is too great, too deep." Although everything is true, the prince will always feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Now hearing his best friend say that he has seven points of merit and three points of merit, this makes the prince extremely happy, which means that his ancestors, for this Chinese Han people, merit is greater than fault.

Li Le said with a smile: "Let's talk about the seven points of the great grandfather first, this will start with the change of dynasty." Xia Youyu, one of the founding families, business has soup, and knows anti-tyranny ~ politics. Zhou has civil and military affairs, and has courtesy, righteousness and shame. This is the foundation of China. ”

"Since the Qin Dynasty, the ancestral dragon has dominated the world, and the six countries have been destroyed to unify China. Until the Han Dynasty, Huaxia never died at the hands of foreign people, some only fused, surrendered, intermarried with my Han family, and learned the etiquette of my Han family, which is the heir of my Han family. ”

"However, since the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, there have been five chaotic Hua, and the people of China have called it 'two-legged sheep'. How sad is this? But the people of China never gave up and conquered the Hu people with literature, so there were powerful Sui and Tang. ”

"However, have you ever thought that when the dynasty changes, if the culture is too good, you will die at the hands of a foreign race. If you are strong in martial arts, you will die in civil strife?"

"If the style of writing is too good, it will be like Jin, and it will be like the former Song Dynasty. (Fox language: Just like the Ming Dynasty, it was covered by the Qing Dynasty, it was easy to shave and obey, and the Han civilization was afraid of regressing by 500 years.) And the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties died in China, and the Jin and Song dynasties died in foreign races. It is better for the descendants of China to take over the country than for the alien race to insult my Chinese people. This is the great grandfather's seven-point work, do you think so?"

The others were a little surprised when they heard that Li Le was rarely serious, and what he said was reasonable, but they all nodded slightly and agreed with his statement.

And Mei Xiangzhu, a little woman, after hearing Li Le's remarks, her eyes were shining, she had never heard his poems and stories, and she had never heard him have such "lofty" remarks.

So I thought to myself, sure enough, this is not an ordinary man. The other men only care about how high their martial arts are, how powerful they are, and how rich they are. And in the eyes of this little wolf dog, he doesn't care about those things, because those things are available at his fingertips, and he cares more about his own ideals and ambitions.

So, poor Sister Mei was deeply infatuated, of course she couldn't have imagined that Li Le was just talking about it at the moment.

Then I listened to Li Le continue: "However, Wu Taisheng has the current situation, when Taizu raised troops in Shangqiu, there were many Jianghu martial arts people Jing Cong, among the seven major sects, now there are four or five families involved, such as, Zhang Zhenren of Wudang, such as Chen Jiexian of Huashan, such as Chongyangzi of Quanzhen, such as Zhang Daxia of Kongtong, and Xie Tian of Shenjian Villa. So, it became the situation we are today. This is, Taizu has three points. ”

The prince's face was a little unsightly, but he also understood that what Li Le said was the truth, so he didn't refute it, and sighed: "Zhi'an and Xichao are right, the victory of Wu is destroyed by himself, and if Wen is too strong, he will be destroyed by a foreign race." If you want to protect this big business, you must achieve a balance between civil and military. ”

Li Le looked at the prince's expression, nodded slightly, he was really satisfied with the prince's performance, and said: "Saying this is actually nonsense, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done step by step." In fact, no matter what the dynasty is doing now, it is always right this time, and it is beneficial to us. If Xuanyi is successful, when the world can be inspected, this big business maladministration can be solved. ”

The prince smiled: "That's right, Lone has the confidence to wait until the time when Xuanyi is completed." And with more than 20 million taels of silver, plus other dividends every year, it should be enough to pay Xuanyiwei's expenses for two and a half years. ”

Bai Xiangru sighed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, let the old man say a word." ”

The prince said, "Mr. Xiangru, please speak." ”

Bai Xiangru said: "If you spend money like the third son, it will only be a year's time." ”

The prince was a little panicked and asked, "Why is this so?"

Bai Xiangru sighed and didn't speak.

Mo Mingchao smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Instead, Li Le was surprised: "Didn't you read the financial statement I gave you?"

The prince was stunned and asked rhetorically, "What financial statement?"

Li Le had a headache and said, "Forget it, just because I didn't say it." ”

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Li Le would be more serious with him.

The tables that Li Le listed for him looked very organized, but it was very boring to read too much. pondered by himself, this form is estimated to be either in the hands of the small table or in the hands of Zhang Bao, anyway, I glanced at it at the time, and I didn't take it too seriously, because I was dazzled.

Never before has such an irresponsible heir to the empire been seen.

Li Le also has a headache, how to put up such a product, this guy has enough emotional intelligence, but he is very insensitive to numbers, in the words of the prince, as long as he sees one, two, three, four, five and six, he feels headache and dizziness.
