In this half an hour, Zhang Xianmin was the most powerful, and he ate a full forty percent of the dishes completely regardless of his image as a national prince, causing other ministers to blow their beards and stare at them.

In the face of everyone's praise, Yun Yi smiled and said: "Several adults, this king is going to open a restaurant in Chang'an, and at that time, please enjoy your face!" ”

"Open a restaurant?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, wasn't they praising their craftsmanship, how did they get to the restaurant.

Even Emperor Shang was stunned, and his face suddenly sank: "Nonsense, as a royal person, how can you do business?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, this is a competition with the people, and I can't help it!"

Yu Deshou shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, Your Highness, I can't help it!"

"Hehe, I think it's okay, Your Highness's craft, if you don't promote it, let everyone know, it's really a waste!"

Zhang Xianmin smiled, but when he saw the gathered eyes of others, he immediately shrank back.

Yun Yi saw that the Shang Emperor refused, and he was immediately unhappy.

Cannibalism and short mouths, and these ministers, how did you stop me while wiping your mouth? Spit out all my food!

He arched his hand and said righteously: "This king has the courage to ask the godfather emperor and all the lords!" Dare to ask my father, how to make a country prosperous! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Shang was angry, how could opening a restaurant be related to the prosperity of a country?

However, he was also slightly shocked in his heart, could it be that this kid intends to be supreme?

Seeing Emperor Shang staring at Yun Yi and falling into deep thought, Yu Deshou secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly said:

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that the king is diligent in government, all officials are responsible, and all the people are healthy, which means that the country is prosperous!"

Emperor Shang raised his head and looked at Yun Yi, wanting to see what he had to say.

Yun Yi shook his head: "Uncle, what you said is too general, and besides, this is simply impossible!" ”

"Why?"

Emperor Shang frowned, the king is diligent, the officials are responsible, and the people are naturally healthy, the relationship between them is interlocking, why is it impossible?

Yun Yi got up with a smile, put his hands behind his back, and paced in the hall.

"The king is diligent and the officials are responsible, which is good for the people, but it has little to do!"

"The people are well fed and clothed, can live in good houses, and can live and work in peace and contentment, this is the wealth of the country and the people!"

"Only when the country has money can it support a strong army and increase infrastructure!"

"Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can they create wealth, and when the people have money, the country will have money."

"With money, they won't starve, they won't starve, they won't have famine, and they can create greater value if they have enough to eat!"

Emperor Shang thought about Yun Yi's words, but there was some truth.

However, if you want the people to be rich, how can it be so easy, the direction of the efforts of the emperors of all dynasties is this, but there is not often a famine?

It's so hard to want everyone to be rich!

At this time, Yun Yi continued.

"For a country, the foundation of a country is the people!"

"The people are the foundation of a country, if the court is compared to a boat, then the people are water!"

As he spoke, Yun Yi's face suddenly condensed: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked.

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!" Emperor Shang muttered to himself, thoughtful.

The ministers were also thoughtful: "Well said! ”

Shang Huang sighed lightly: "It's very appropriate, and the metaphor is very vivid!" ”

Yu Deshou glanced at his nephew deeply and said, "Your Majesty, what Your Highness said is extremely true! ”

"The sages of the ancients must be benevolent, and only when the people live and work in peace and contentment, can the country have the hope of being strong!"

Yun Yi said at this time: "The so-called people take food as the sky, as long as everyone can meet the problem of food and clothing, they will have the spare power to do more things!" ”

"At the end of the day, we're just short of money!"

For this, the Shang Emperor is sympathetic, some time ago he was worried about the military expenditure of only 700,000 yuan, if the country has money, then the army can definitely expand rapidly.

By that time, with the iron in hand, what other country would dare to provoke?

"Since the founding of the country, our big business has always been heavy on agriculture and suppressed business, so that the development of commerce has been restricted, and it is only blindly squeezed on the peasants, so how can the people get rich, how can the country be rich?"

Yun Yi took a deep breath and said: "Therefore, not only can we not always develop commercially, but we must vigorously support it, only when business is prosperous, can the economy prosper!" ”

At this point, the monarchs and ministers had entered a blind spot, and Emperor Shang frowned and said: "In this case, how can we obtain financial revenue?" ”

"Of course, it is a light agricultural tax and a heavy commercial tax!" Yun Yi said with a smile.

Farmers are all farming, how much money is there a year, you just squeeze people dry and have no money, you still have to pay heavy business taxes!

Yun Yi's words made Emperor Shang fall into deep thought.

Not long after, he directly led several ministers to leave in a hurry, and it seemed that he had figured out something.

As for Yun Yi's opening of the restaurant, Emperor Shang didn't mention it again, if he wants to toss, let him toss!

Yun Yi saw that the ministers were gone, he smiled, and took a few dishes from the kitchen, looking at people like Qin Qiong, Li Ru, and others.

"To be a man, you still have to learn to keep a hand, these guys are too good to eat, let's come to the second half!"

……

After lunch, several people rested for a while and came to the forbidden army barracks.

Xu Zhen looked in a trance when he saw the military camp in front of him.

Back then, he was the commander of this barracks, but unfortunately......

"Huh? Look, it seems to be Commander Xu! ”

A veteran standing guard recognized Xu Zhen and said excitedly.

"It seems to be true!"

"Who is Commander Xu?"

There are also recruits who don't know Xu Zhen, after all, Xu Zhen has been demoted for several years, and during this period, the old and the new have been replaced, and it is good to have veterans know them.

Before coming to the camp, Lu Hongfeng was already waiting here.

"The last general, Lu Hongfeng, see His Highness!"

Lu Hongfeng and several generals knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Get up, this king is here today as a captain of Zhaowu, not the king of Zhongling! So, it's me who salutes the Commander! ”

Yun Yi waved his hand and saluted Lu Hongfeng solemnly.

Lu Hongfeng suddenly had a good impression, before that, he was worried that Yun Yi, the second ancestor, would bring trouble to him, but he didn't expect Yun Yi to salute him so formally.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has named you the captain of Zhaowu, and according to the rules, you can command three thousand people!" Lu Hongfeng said politely.

"Well, my father ordered me to recruit troops by myself, but there is no ration of money and food, so there are only 700 people for the time being, so you can transfer 700 weapons and armor for me first!" Yun Yi said.

Lu Hongfeng was slightly: "Actually, Your Majesty has thought of these things a long time ago, so Ling Mo will allocate a full battalion of 3,000 people for His Royal Highness!" ”

Yun Yi's face was surprised, he originally thought that he was really going to recruit new soldiers, but he didn't expect that the cheap dad had already arranged it!

"Then take me to see it!"

Lu Hongfeng nodded, and walked towards the inside of the barracks with Yun Yi and a few people.

Along the way, you can hear the shouts of training in the barracks, and the momentum is high, and after about ten minutes, several people came to an open field.

Yun Yi looked inside, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
