Chapter 293: Loser, Empire!
It's the first time he's heard someone say that he, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, is short-sighted?
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to say much, so they stood under the court and listened to the dialogue between the Eighth Prince and Li Shimin.
Because they dare not interject, and they have no right to interject.
Li Chengfeng swore and said: "Father, only by solving the problem of people's livelihood and people's state, our Datang treasury will be able to harvest more next year!" The grain released now is to protect the people of Datang from starvation, and to preserve the labor force of Datang is still abundant, so when we deal with national affairs, we must be willing to invest assets like an investment, so as to have a greater harvest! ”
"Wait a minute, wait a minute......"
Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for Li Chengfeng to wait later.
And the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were also confused, because they couldn't understand what Li Chengfeng was saying at all.
Li Shimin asked curiously: "Feng'er, dare to ask, what is investment?" ”
Li Chengfeng said: "Investment is to use the money we have in our hands to invest in things with more objective profits in the future!" For example: I will use 10,000 gold to invest in cotton this year! In the coming year, cotton made a lot of money, and I Li Chengfeng earned 50,000 gold, in addition to the capital of 10,000 gold, I also earned an extra 40,000 gold, which is called investment! ”
"A small investment like ours is not much money, if my father wants the Tang Dynasty to be more prosperous in the coming year, then he will make a big investment!" Li Chengfeng raised his little index finger and said seriously: "We make a big investment, and what we invest in is our entire Datang!" This year's drought is not beautiful, the investment has failed, and the stock price has plummeted, but why can't we kill the chicken and take the eggs, why do we have to maintain our labor force! If there is a shortage of labor, then it will be difficult for them to return to their original costs tomorrow! ”
"In the same way, if we invest a lot of money and materials this year and retain the labor force of Datang, then the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year, everyone in Datang will live and work in peace and contentment, and the labor force will be abundant, and I am afraid that Datang will not prosper?"
"So, father, be bold! Buckle swish, starve to death and lose labor, if you want to do it, you will invest in us! Open the treasury, put the granary, keep the people and labor force of the Tang Dynasty, and get the love of the people! Right? In the coming year, the wind and rain will be smooth, and you will directly earn back all the losses you have lost this year! Then how can we continue to increase the labor force of the Tang Dynasty, and when the labor force is transformed into combat effectiveness, we will defeat the Tibetan Turks and Goguryeo in the frontier! ”
"By the way, the small island nation can't let it go, and it has to take them down! Then they are making investments, expanding the territory of Datang, and then building navigation technology, all the way to the west to release the world, dominating the world, hahaha...... Hahaha! ”
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly on the stage.
On the other hand, Li Shimin looked confused, and the ministers in the audience were also staring at each other, you look at me, I look at you.
Because they couldn't understand what Li Chengfeng was talking about.
But they felt that what Li Chengfeng said was so reasonable, and for a while, none of them stood up to refute it!
"Father, what do you think?" Li Chengfeng asked with a grin.
Li Shimin doesn't understand what investment is, and he also thinks that Li Chengfeng thinks things too beautifully.
So Li Shimin looked at the ministers in the audience and said, "What do you think, Aiqing, what is the opinion of the Eighth Prince?" ”
"Uh, this, this ......"
"Prime Minister Wei Zheng, can you comment on what the Eighth Prince said!"
Li Shimin threw the question to Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng nodded, took a step, and said, "Your Majesty, although the old minister doesn't understand the so-called investment of the Eighth Prince, what does it mean!" But Lao Chen felt that the method of the Eighth Prince was feasible! ”
"Feasible? What about Du Ruhui, the prince of Laiguo, you can also talk about it! ”
Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, became Fang Xuanling and became Fang Mou Du Xuan, and his fame has shocked the ages.
But in the face of Li Chengfeng's topic, Du Ruhui still listened in the clouds.
Du Ruhui took a step forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and said, "Return to the emperor!" Lao Chen thinks that the idea of the eighth prince is very good! But there is also a problem with the existence of contradictions! ”
"Oh? Lai Guogong, please speak! Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
"Good!" Du Ruhui nodded, "Just now, the old minister also understood what the Eighth Prince's so-called investment meant!" That is, to consume the treasury funds to save the labor force of the people of Datang! ”
"Well, Lai Guogong is reasonable!" Li Shimin agreed.
"However, this one has advantages and disadvantages, pros and cons!" Du Ruhui said.
"Oh? Then please Lai Guogong, come and hear it! Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui with interest.
After all, Du Ruhui's IQ and comprehension ability are not a joke.
Before Li Chengfeng came, Du Ruhui had always been known as the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, and many incurable problems were given advice to Li Shimin by Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.
But after Li Chengfeng came, Du Ruhui only felt that his brain was not enough in front of Li Chengfeng.
Because Li Chengfeng can always come up with some advanced ideas, Du Ruhui can't understand what Li Chengfeng wants to do.
For example: In the last literary fight between Li Chengfeng and Du Ruhui, Li Chengfeng invented electricity and directly stunned Du Ruhui to the ground.
No matter how smart Du Ruhui is, he can't know where the electricity comes from?
How can this kind of unwanted, alien object, be manipulated artificially?
This has always become an unsolved mystery in Du Ruhui's heart, he actually wanted to ask the Eighth Prince, but because he was too busy coming in and didn't have time, he kept delaying.
……
Li Shimin asked Du Ruhui to put forward the pros and cons of Li Chengfeng's so-called 'investment'.
Du Ruhui thought for a while, and then blurted out.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty! The so-called 'investment' of the Eight Princes is as the Eight Princes said, as long as the emperor uses the resources of the treasury to retain the labor force of the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty will have a smooth weather in the coming year, and the national funds will rise sharply! This is the good end! ”
"But the drawbacks are just as serious! First, what if Datang still suffers from drought or floods in the coming year? Then, if the emperor wants to retain the labor force of the Tang Dynasty again, he must release the surplus grain from the treasury again! Until the sky is beautiful! ”
"Therefore, if you are not sure enough, this so-called 'investment' is very risky! Once the investment fails, it means that Datang's treasury will suffer serious losses, but if the investment is successful! Then, the Tang Dynasty in the coming year will definitely be more prosperous! Of course, all of this depends on the emperor's choice!"
Du Ruhui is really smart.
Do you still know that investment is risky?
If it is placed in the 21st century, Du Ruhui must be an investment tycoon.
