Chapter 235: We Are Family
Inside the palace of King Qin.
Li Chengqian also carried out a small-scale moon viewing activity.
And many people were also invited.
And if you can come, the moon viewing activities he holds are naturally on good terms with him.
For example, Hou Junji, Li Tingxue, Li Chongyi, etc.,
Of course, there is also an unexpected character, Lu Qing.
As Lu Wanjie's father and Li Chengqian's quasi-father-in-law, Lu Qing's status has always been a relatively embarrassing existence.
First of all, Lu Wanjie only received Li Shimin's marriage will, but did not marry Li Chengqian.
Secondly, Lu Wanjie didn't even settle down on the main concubine and the side concubine, so she went to live in the palace.
This also attracted a lot of gossip from others, which made the reputation of the Lu family plummet.
And this is also the reason why Lu Qing will participate in Li Chengqian as long as he finds an opportunity.
After all, if you make me lose face, then I will definitely make you lose my heart.
It's human nature.
However, later through getting along with Li Chengqian, Lu Qing also deeply understood the essence of Li Chengqian.
If it weren't for that, with Lu Qing's nature, even if Li Chengqian kidnapped him, he wouldn't have come.
And Li Chengqian also gave Lu Qing enough respect.
After Lu Qing came, he was treated as a guest by Li Chengqian, and he served him completely according to the specifications of serving his father-in-law.
Serving tea and handing water comes with kneading shoulders and pinching legs.
This really flattered Lu Qing.
Looking at Li Chengqian, who was busy before and after, Lu Qing said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, don't go around me, there are guests outside." ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqian just chuckled and said, "That's not good, you can be different from them." ”
"They are all my friends and my peers, and you are my elder."
"Naturally, I'm going to take care of you first, and then I'll take care of them."
The sound of elders really warmed Lu Qing's heart.
He smiled slightly, "I can't imagine that you can still send me a message of worship." ”
"Of course, I want to send it to you."
Li Chengqian sent the boiled tea to Lu Qing: "In the future, we will become a family." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qing raised his eyebrows, and his expression changed slightly.
After a long time, he sighed and shook his head and said, "If you say it before, I only thought that you were the same as the rumors outside, flying high-flying, unlearned, and unskilled......"
"I would never have thought that you would be such a person......"
Rumors outside have always been mixed against Li Chengqian.
Some people say that he is a genius of heaven, and it is a gift from God to the Tang Dynasty.
Some people say that he doesn't learn and has no skills, and he is ashamed of his identity as the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Anyway, there are all kinds of things to say, all kinds of things, it's up to you to believe that.
And Li Chengqian is not interested in these at all, and he has already seen through this matter.
If it's too serious, I'm afraid there will be nothing else to do in this life.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "The days to come will be long, and you will be able to get to know me slowly." ”
"As I once said, others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it."
"Although you think it's ridiculous for me to do things now, when you come to see these things in the future, you will feel different."
He was telling the truth.
From the time he began to put forward the Ten Ways of Cutting Officials and Removing Counties, the world did not know how many voices of opposition there were.
Some people say that he wants to bring chaos to the world and force all the ministers who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty to a dead end.
Some people also say that he is relying on his own identity to do wrong, and he will be punished one day.
Even Lu Qing scolded a few words.
After all, in anyone's opinion, it is not a wise move to cut officials and dismiss the county.
But what about now, two years later?
When I went to see the ten provinces, I had long since lost the confusion of the counties and counties in the country.
And the number of officials has also been greatly reduced, and the treasury has been enriched as a result, and the pressure on the people has been greatly reduced.
If you want to say that this is a dizzy nonsense, then I am afraid that there is no wise move in this world.
Besides, Li Chengqian later targeted the family or the Buddhism.
Aren't they all good for the world?
For Buddhism, the temple was returned to the field, the people got benefits, and the children had books to read.
The same is true for the family, which controls the grain routes, monopolizes knowledge, and manipulates local officials to prey on the common people.
However, under the aim of several of his major policy guidelines, this phenomenon has been greatly reduced.
Not to mention the cross-era move of advocating the first people's congress and allowing the emperor to talk face-to-face with the people.
As the saying goes, when you look at me like a joke, but when you look at me again, I'm already a god.
Lu Qing pursed his lips, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Come to think of it, you also told me that the family has come to an end. ”
"Then I might as well ask you today, what do you think the Lu family should do in the future?"
Li Chengqian said without thinking: "Do business." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qing was a little stunned, and then said: "Keshi farmers and businessmen, businessmen are the lowest level." ”
"That's just for now."
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "My country has always paid attention to agricultural production since ancient times, because businessmen are not engaged in agriculture and do not produce, so they will be ranked at the bottom. ”
"But uncle, have you forgotten the eldest grandson's family?"
"A few years ago, the status of the eldest grandson family was not as good as your Lu family."
"But now, do you still dare to compare the Lu family with the eldest grandson's family?"
In fact, the transformation of the eldest grandson's family began long ago.
After Li Shimin became the emperor, Empress Changsun entered the court as an official in order to avoid suspicion.
And the eldest grandson Wuji, naturally, it is impossible to go against the queen's sister.
He simply threw his energy into business.
It can be said that the eldest grandson family is the first family to jump out of the family system.
And when the eldest grandson Wuji met Li Chengqian, the eldest grandson's family can be said to have achieved unprecedented development.
From the fireworks at the beginning, to the later furniture desserts, the eldest grandson's family made a lot of money.
And the eldest grandson's family also took advantage of this stone to gain a firm foothold in the Datang business world.
Later, with the approval of Li Shimin, after opening study schools all over the country, the eldest grandson's family was squeezed into the ranks of the top richest people in the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Moreover, the wealth accumulation of the eldest grandson family is still rising at a very rapid momentum.
If this momentum continues, within four or five years, the eldest grandson family will inevitably become the richest family in the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Qing naturally saw all of this.
Lu Qing looked at Li Chengqian with some embarrassment and said, "Then the Lu family is going to do business now, is it a little too late?" ”
"How is that possible?"
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "As long as I am here, you can rest assured." ”
"When the time comes, I will find some ways to let the Lu family also make a lot of money."
"Not to mention surpassing the eldest grandson's family, at least it can be on par with the eldest grandson's family, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Lu Qing was a little moved.
He looked at Li Chengqian, a little incredulous.
"Are you really willing to help me?"
Judging from what he did, Li Chengqian really shouldn't help him.
But who called, he had a good daughter?
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Helping you is helping myself, after all, we are a family......"
Family......
These three words hit Lu Qing's heart like a hammer.
Lu Qing gritted his teeth tightly, and his mind couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a long time, he slowly got up and said with a wry smile: "Compared to you, I am more like a child......
