A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.

For them, a change of dynasty is just the rise of another dynasty.

In their eyes, there is no loyalty and patriotism at all, let alone the common people.

Through marriage and other means, they bundle and link up a fairly large network of interests.

What's more, in the local area, like a feudal king, he collected money and trained his troops.

But these people are not training to protect the people.

What they protect is always their own interests.

This point has been vividly realized as early as the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty.

In order to reap more benefits in the Eight Kings Rebellion, many northern families even colluded with foreign clans to lead the Hu people to join the civil war in the Central Plains.

This also directly led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the era of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

But when the Han people in the north either rose up like Ran Min and attacked, or were devastated.

What are these families doing?

Most of the families in the north have migrated their families to the south of the Yangtze River and continue to enjoy themselves.

As posterity.

How could Li Chengqian not know what they were thinking?

They are nothing more than waiting for the rise of the next great unified dynasty.

Then continue the bloodsucking of the dynasty and prosper their own family.

After all, in ancient times, if you wanted to be an official, you had to be literate at the very least.

And culture and knowledge are monopolized by the family.

If you want to study, you must be inextricably linked to the family.

Even in today's Tang Dynasty, there are many scholars who are recommended by or from the family.

These people come from a family, so they have to give back to the family.

Especially since most of these people are in the middle level, even Li Shimin does not dare to attack them easily.

And this has slowly triggered a vicious circle.

The family brings the children of the poor family, and the children of the poor family will give back to the family after they become officials.

……

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian and Li Shimin sighed together with a tacit understanding.

Li Shimin looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "This time, you can be regarded as helping me solve a problem." ”

"Actually, monopolizing book knowledge is not the biggest thing."

"This matter, as long as my father is determined to be political, it can be solved."

Li Chengqian shook his head and said.

Seeing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"Tell me, then, what's the biggest thing?"

"The biggest thing is that our land is controlled by the family."

"When I went to Jiangnan before, I inquired, and most of the land in Jiangnan is controlled by the family."

"After the family controls the land, it will give the farmers a low rent to plant and live on rent."

"And their lowest rent is 50 percent."

Li Chengqian sighed.

"Father, you should know what this means, right?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

He certainly knows what that means.

It means that most of the people's harvest will be taken out as rent every year.

If the year is good, the people can eat enough.

But if it is in time for the disaster year, the common people will have to sell their children and daughters to pay off the tenant rent.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin sighed and said: "The family has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years. ”

"If you want to solve the trouble caused by the family, you have to come step by step......"

"Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty is the best example."

He glanced at Li Chengqian: "I can only do as much as possible in my lifetime." ”

When you are in power, there are not so many difficulties and obstacles.

He silently added in his heart.

Li Chengqian didn't hear the meaning of his words.

But he didn't want to say anything more on the subject.

After all, there are some things that he doesn't want to intervene in.

All he could do was what was in front of him.

Although papermaking has achieved initial success, it is said that it has achieved initial success.

But there's one more thing to accomplish in order to move on.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a wicked smile.

"Father, look, can you open a paper bureau for me next?"

"Paper Bureau?"

Li Shimin glanced at him, and immediately saw through his careful thoughts.

"I think you want to do business again......"

"Father, this time it's for our Tang Dynasty, and it's not a competition for the people."

Li Chengqian rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "And the fertilizer water doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders......

Li Shimin's attitude was tough: "Don't be delusional, I will never let you do this." ”

Seeing this, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and simply made a big move.

"Father, don't you want to engage in book printing to break the family's monopoly on knowledge?"

"yes."

Li Shimin nodded, and then raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Could it be that your kid also has research in this area?"

"You don't care if I research it or not."

Li Chengqian said with an arrogant face: "As long as you build a paper bureau for me, I promise to help you solve this matter." ”

Yo he......

Is this kid talking to himself about conditions?

Li Shimin smiled coldly and said, "You kid are negotiating terms with me?" ”

As long as Li Shimin replaces 'I' with 'I', it means that he is going to be angry.

Seeing this bit of vision, Li Chengqian still has it.

Li Chengqian hurriedly restrained his smugness, revealing a bitter face.

"Father, you don't let me do business, and you say that you don't want to compete with the people for profit, I admit it."

"But this is not a matter of competing with the people, and it is also the son of the minister who sincerely wants to help you."

"Can't you say yes......

After speaking, Li Chengqian also winked at Li Shimin.

In this way, even if Li Shimin saw it, he would inevitably be a little soft-hearted.

Hidden beneath the appearance of a bear child, there are these benefits.

If you do bad things, you are naughty and mischievous, and you are young and ignorant.

can do good things, that is, young and promising, young and precocious.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Okay, okay, don't follow me to die with me, I just promise you." ”

I heard that Li Shimin agreed.

Li Chengqian suddenly jumped high: "Father, you agreed." ”

"A gentleman's words are hard to chase, you can't regret it."

Seeing that this thing was about to start chattering again, Li Shimin immediately glared at him.

"If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll beat you?"

Li Chengqian scratched his head, and then hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The ministers there thank you to your father." ”

"Don't be too busy thanking you yet, you have to say ugly things first."

"If you do this well, I will be rewarded."

"If you don't do well, don't blame me for punishing you once."

Li Shimin warned: "I didn't joke with you this time. ”

"Yes, yes."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely do this for you beautifully." ”

After sending Li Shimin away.

Li Chengqian still didn't lose his excitement, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut with joy.

Seeing this, Cheng Huailiang on the side couldn't help but speak.

"If Your Majesty had asked you to do something, you would have complained a long time ago."

"Why are you so happy this time? That's not your style. ”

"You know what?"

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Don't underestimate this small page, the doorway here is too big." ”

"In the future, if we print these papers into books and sell them, we can count the money until we can count it."

He even saw his own affluent life in the future.

What does it mean to be a prince?

Isn't it fragrant to do business......
