Chapter 175: The Pedantic Man

Because Li Chengqian has been saving Empress Changsun these days, making horseshoes, and finally making Tang knives, Li Shimin is very important.

  Li Chengqian is often made aware of some major national events. also asked him to listen to the Taiji Palace.

  However, this caused Li Chengqian's troubles.

  You pester me so much every day, how can I do business?

  At the same time, the Hero Building has not been to for a long time.

  But fortunately, Zou Fengchi is still very understanding.

  Coupled with the cooperation of Cheng Chumo and others, their progress has not stagnated, on the contrary, they have become extraordinarily energetic.

  Red wine also attracted Li Shimin's attention in one fell swoop.

  Li Shimin also said that let this red wine replace the thousand days drunk as the only wine used in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting.

  If nothing else, it's delicious and not easy to intoxicate. There will be no accidents.

  Even drinking red wine, in addition to admiring the moon, you can also compose poems, but white wine is not good, you are drunk after drinking, what kind of poems do you compose?

  As soon as the news came out, the entire Chang'an, and even the nearby provinces, frantically flocked to the hero building to buy wine.

  As a result, Zou Fengchi had to vigorously buy grapes. Chang'an grapes are out of stock, and this is the first time in history that such a thing has happened, and they have to increase their trade to buy from the West, which is somewhat relieved.

  This is a good thing, on this day, Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to go to the Taiji Palace, saying that he would be an observer and help the future government.

  From this point of view, Li Shimin intends to train Li Chengqian to become the successor of the new generation.

  As a result, Li Chengqian's status has risen several times, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

  But in the eyes of some people, like the eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Guifei and Xu Jingzong, this matter is not good.

  They wish that Li Chengqian would step down directly, directly impeach him, and help the person they want to become the crown prince.

  However, Li Chengqian could not do what they wanted.

  He should be the crown prince.

  He's going to be the emperor!

  On the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin frowned.

  "Li Jing, what did you say? Not enough iron raw materials? What about buying? ”

  "The emperor is very expensive at this time, and it's not impossible to buy it, but the price you need to pay is too high!"

  Li Jing said again.

  This iron is in the hands of the family, and they will raise the price, so that Li Shimin has no choice.

  "What! The price of iron is high!? ”

  Li Shimin was quite shocked.

  At this time, Du Ruhui said: "Perhaps, we can speed up mining." ”

  Fang Xuanling objected: "No, in recent years, the famine in Shandong has just passed, and people do not have enough grain at this time, if we speed up the mining speed, we will inevitably recruit migrant workers, in that case, let the Tang Dynasty, which has few people farming, make it even worse!" ”

  "The minister agrees with Xing Guogong's statement!"

  "The minister thinks that Lai Guogong's statement is feasible, without the protection of a strong army, what is the people's livelihood?"

  Lai Guogong is Du Ruhui.

  There are other people who even say that all the iron parts of the treasury are taken out and used, this practice is undoubtedly death, and it will definitely directly affect the national strength, and the combat power of the Tang Dao has increased significantly, but it does not mean that it can quickly create a huge amount of money, and everyone has a hand. According to Li Chengqian's assumption, the main arms of the armed forces will be equipped first, and the others will follow.

  At this time, Li Chengqian on the side was thinking.

  He was a man of great statecraft.

  Naturally, it is necessary to understand how to do it and how to do it.

  In the past few days, he was dragged by Li Shimin to study in this Tai Chi Palace, and he was almost annoyed to death.

  It's all trivial.

  Where is his statecraft needed?

  Today, however, is different.

  Because of iron, he had to take the initiative.

  He found that there were two things in the entire Tang Dynasty that were not in the hands of the imperial court.

  One is iron and the other is salt, and if you don't master these two points, it is very dangerous.

  Because the first is a sharp weapon for war, and the second is the people's livelihood, which must exist at any time.

  That's the lifeblood of the nation.

  I really don't understand, why not take it back.

  And more importantly, these iron and salt are in the hands of the royal family.

  If Datang wants to be strong, it must deal with the five surnames and seven hopes, because they occupy seven or eight out of ten resources in the entire Datang, which is a very dangerous thing.

  If you can't figure them out, everything is false.

  If you don't get rid of them, becoming stronger can only be an empty word.

  Moreover, this Wang family is against himself everywhere, so he can only attack them first.

  Next, there are the other families.

  So, he stepped up.

  "Father, the son thinks that instead of re-mining, it is better to directly order that the common people should not participate in iron casting and iron mining! In other words, nationalize iron! Take back all the iron of the people, of course, this is not for free, we can compensate them! ”

  When Li Shimin heard this, he also felt novel.

  However, Li Chengqian's words aroused opposition from a group of people.

  "Casting iron and mining are not something that ordinary people can achieve! No one here has this strength except for the family, and if it is nationalized, isn't it cutting off the back road of the family? You must know that the tax revenue contributed by the family every year accounts for seven or eight out of ten, what if they are unhappy and do not cooperate directly? ”

  Li Chengqian smiled.

  He looked at the person who spoke, it was Wang Qi, one of the representatives of the Wang family, who had only him last time.

  This time, he must also be on the side of the Wang family.

  His words made him a little unhappy.

  directly said: "You are a king, you have a bit of backbone!" I am a dignified Tang court, will I be afraid of a small family? ”

  Li Chengqian's speech was very domineering, which shocked some people's spirits.

  Others are dismissive.

  It's like the eldest grandson Mowgli.

  He came forward and said: "Wang Qi is also anxious about the overall situation, if he rashly takes back the iron and nationalizes the iron, it is indeed unfair to some people!" ”

  What Li Chengqian approves, they oppose.

  If Li Chengqian opposes it, they must agree with it.

  That's the urine nature of these people.

  Li Chengqian had already calculated it.

  Originally, he didn't speak, and these people didn't speak, but when he spoke, they also came.

  It's really urinating that doesn't change.

  And Li Chengqian wanted to scare, but if he was all scared, he would scatter his strength.

  Therefore, he also wants to be honest and refreshing.

  "You just can't see far enough! It's really pedantic! We only look at the immediate benefits, but do not look at the future in the future, the future is what we want. Do we cling to the present and give up on the future? Now we should put the country first, not take into account the thoughts of those families. If the kingdom is gone, will these families still survive? Tell me about it, can you or can't? Here the king is listening, listening to what you have to say! ”

  As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone was speechless.

  Especially Wang Jue and the eldest grandson Wuji.

  As for the others, they haven't spoken yet.
