Chapter 36: Whimsical

Luo Tong pouted: "It's really whimsical! ”

"How could the emperor give such a holy decree? Unless you play chess and take the emperor! But...... You've won the emperor once before, I'm afraid it's not easy to succeed! ”

"We'll see!"

Li Zhi didn't think it was that difficult.

Because he already has a preliminary plan.

……

……

Inside the Imperial Study.

The crown prince Li Chengqian is reviewing the folds.

Next to him stood Li Shimin, carefully guiding.

"Father, there is something about the son, I don't know whether to say it or not!" Li Chengqian slowly raised his head.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Zhi wants to go to the palace to open a restaurant, he said...... Later, I will come to my father and get a holy decree. He also said that his father would definitely promise him. Father, will you agree? ”

"Humph!"

Li Shimin trembled angrily.

Said angrily: "I have told you many times, don't go out of the palace, there is danger outside the palace!" ”

"Father, my sons have never gone out casually......

"Hmm!"

On this point, Li Shimin is still very satisfied with Li Chengqian.

But!

When he thought of the naughty Li Zhi, he had a liver ache!

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin asks to see you!" The old eunuch came to report.

"Nope!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Let him go back and reflect well!" When it's time to reflect, I'll see you again! ”

"Yes!"

The old eunuch relayed the original words to Li Zhi.

Prepare to drive Li Zhi away!

"Wait......." Li Zhi's mind was a little confused: "What's the matter?" Why is Li Shimin angry? Did he already know that I wanted to leave the palace? Impossible! ”

"Your Highness...... You better go back to the main hall of Li to reflect, the emperor's will must not be violated! ”

"I don't!"

Li Zhi said: "I have something important, report it to my father, and I will bother my father-in-law to report it again......." ”

"Your Highness, the emperor is angry, why don't you bother to find it? Let's go back to the main hall! ”

"Why is the emperor angry?" Li Zhi asked rhetorically.

"This ...... The old slave doesn't know! ”

"What do you see is that?" Li Zhi's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly pointed into the distance.

The old eunuch subconsciously looked over.

Li Zhi took the opportunity to sneak into the imperial study.

"Ah......h The old eunuch's frightened face was bloodless: "Your Highness, don't disturb the emperor!" ”

It's too late.

Li Zhi ran into the imperial study and stood in front of Li Shimin: "Father, the son is reading the Spring and Autumn Period at night, and suddenly there is a question, I can't figure it out!" I want to ask my father for advice! ”

"If you have any questions, go ask Fang Xuanling!"

"Back to my father, my son's question is very difficult, and the teacher must not be able to give an answer, so I came to find my father!"

The implication is that Li Shimin is smarter than Fang Xuanling!

This sycophant shoots without leaking traces!

Li Shimin was very useful, and his tone suddenly slowed down: "What questions do you have, do you need to ask my father for advice?" You say! ”

"Erchen wants to talk to his father alone!"

Li Shimin glanced at the crown prince Li Chengqian next to him, frowned and said, "The prince is not an outsider, but it doesn't matter if you say it!" Just let him learn to learn! ”

"Yes!"

Leave Li Chengqian, it's no big deal!

Anyway, it's just a little kid......

With his IQ, he is not yet able to participate in these issues.

Li Zhi sorted out the thoughts in his head, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the ceiling at forty-five degrees, and said slowly: "Father, do you know the class division of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, and which dynasty they come from?" ”

"Spring and Autumn Warring States, the pipe proposed!"

"My father is really knowledgeable...... But did my father know why he proposed a class division of farmers and merchants? ”

"This!"

Li Shimin really didn't think about it carefully.

Erchen thinks that he wants to establish dignity and humility for everyone! And encourage people to study and serve the country in the future. Because the identity of the official family is the most noble, only by studying hard can you glorify your ancestors! ”

"Under this system of dignity and inferiority, people naturally think that the official family is incomparably noble, and the businessman is incomparably lowly! So they all studied hard and disdained business! ”

"The consequences of this have directly led to the country's economic decay!"

……

Li Zhi said a lot in one breath.

There is only one central idea, businessmen should not be so lowly!

"Zhi'er, what do you want to say?" Li Shimin listened to the first two big, and he was a little impatient.

Li Zhi's words changed: "Father, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world was not yet unified, and the competition was fierce, so it was really necessary to encourage the people to study, serve the country, encourage the people to farm, and provide enough food for the army." There's nothing wrong with that. However, as Qin Shi Huang unified the world and the country was stable and on the right track, the class division of Shinong, industry and commerce became less important. Especially now, Datang has a vast territory, a powerful world, and a ...... of national peace and security. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi paused for a moment, smiled and asked, "Father, which do you think is more important?" ”

"Ahem!!"

Li Shimin has been stunned by Li Zhi.

I don't dare to answer easily.

What if you are like Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda, and you are speechless when you are refuted?

"Gao Ming, you come and tell him, which is important!" Li Shimin's eyes fell on the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian, the words are smart.

"Returning to my father, my son thinks that the most important thing should be ......." Li Chengqian thought in his heart that Li Zhi talked so much, it was all nonsense, and his ultimate goal was to go out and run a restaurant.

Running a restaurant belongs to the businessman's business!

Is the businessman the most important?

No, no, no......

Even if Li Zhi is able to sophistry again, it is impossible to say that Shinong is a businessman and a farmer, which is too incredible. And Li Shimin is not so stupid. It's not good to get boarded.

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and finally said: "Erchen believes that the ancients have the wisdom of the ancients, and there must be his reason for the distinction between farmers and businessmen and merchants. Since it starts with 'taxi', of course 'taxi' is the most important! ”

"Really?"

Li Shimin asked Li Zhi.

Li Zhi said unhurriedly: "Erchen does not object to the class division of Shinong, industry and commerce, after all, the people are used to it, and it is difficult to change their thinking for a while. However, as the country grows stronger, the economy becomes more important! What is the economy? The economy is the flesh and blood of a country, and if there is no flesh and blood, isn't it an empty shell? ”

"To give you a very simple example, if my father wants to attack a certain country, what does he need besides an army? That's right, big military spending is needed! ”

……

"The amount of military spending determines how long a war can be fought!"

"Military spending is the economy, and the boom and fall of the economy needs businessmen to maintain it, and throughout the dynasties, there will be a situation where the country has no money. Why? Because they don't value businessmen, they think that businessmen are shameful and selfish to pursue profits! In this way, it is no wonder that the country can be rich! ”

After listening to these words.

Li Chengqian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and praised in his heart: "What a good tongue!" I almost think that businessmen are the most important thing! ”

Li Shimin's brows tightened, as if he had thought of something: "Zhi'er, these words...... Did you think about it yourself, or did you listen to someone else's? ”

Li Zhi replied: "No one can instigate the ministers. The reason why I asked my father to say these things was because I read the Spring and Autumn Festival at night and had some understanding. Father doesn't have to take it to heart! ”
