The meal was delicious, and Ding Yi was happy and depressed, and Li Er, who was happy and depressed, approved Ding Yi's request and ate it with the four courtiers.

Cold spinach, cold lotus root, roasted broad beans, called flower chicken, dry fried eggplant, shallots mixed with tofu, salt and pepper mushrooms, shredded cabbage, lettuce and pork rib soup. These materials are all available in Datang, the chili pepper is replaced with dogwood, and the taste is okay Eight dishes and one soup, just because the table is divided, it is a little unpleasant. During the banquet, Du Ruhui nodded to Ding with appreciation, and the eldest grandson Wuji Fang Xuanling was also eating. It's just that Li Er glared at Ding Yi fiercely, if he really didn't do his job, alas, this lotus leaf chicken is good

Full of wine and food, Li Er touched his stomach and said, "Now let's talk about your city building."

Ding listened to it one by one, and the highlight came, and it depends on whether he can get the land grant today

"Your Majesty, in fact, you don't need much space, you can just grant me Shiping County for transformation"

A few people in the hall couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, how much heart did a county grant him to build a city, Li Er was choked and didn't catch his breath, and hurriedly took a sip of tea soup and suppressed his anger: "Ding Yi, what will you do with this country and a county for you."

After Du Ruhui was surprised, he asked: "Ding Yi, I don't know why you want to build a city" Du Ruhui's question is also what Li Er wants to ask, I don't know why he is obsessed with building a city. Even if you have self-respect, you shouldn't choose in Shiping

Ding Yi had thought about this a long time ago, and he mentioned it again and again, Li Er would definitely have doubts. Immediately, he said: "The minister has arrived in Chang'an for four or five months, and the structural design of Chang'an City can be said to be the most prosperous, the most functional, and the most populous city in the world today.

The minister can say that this Chang'an city is unprecedented, but the minister who has no future does not dare to agree with the minister wants to build the city with work as the backbone, business as blood, and agriculture as the tendon. Ding Yi paused at this point.

He asked again: "Your Majesty, the minister has a question, and I would like to ask Your Majesty and all the adults to give advice."

When a few people heard him say this about Chang'an City, they were also extremely proud and heard a remark that work is the bone, business is blood, and agriculture is the tendon. Just as he was waiting to continue, Ding Yi asked another question

Li Er really wanted to hear what Ding Yi had to say, and said, "Say"

Ding Yi was approved and said: "What the minister has heard the most recently is that "heavy agriculture and suppress business" and agriculture is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, so it is not inappropriate to take this as the most important. The minister dared to ask His Majesty and the three adults what they thought of the work and why they wanted to suppress business."

When Ding Yi said this, he frightened Du Ruhui and the others. This kid really dared to ask anything Li Er looked at Ding Yi curiously, he didn't expect Ding Yi to ask such a question.

Fang Xuanling spoke first, "Shiping Hou, this suppression of business has existed since ancient times, and businessmen put profit first, and there is no trust. It is not even a production, which makes Datang lose a lot of labor. If it is not suppressed, then where will the land grow food and come from"

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Er, turned his head and asked: "Ding Yi, you said that work is the bone, I don't know what you think about this" He said this, and he also had the meaning of taking the school examination, and he also tried him for Li Er

Ding Yi saw him ask himself, thought for a while, and said: "The kid has read a book, which mentions that the ancients have different industries and the same way, and they are all the same. Scholars are cultivated and governed, agriculture is maintained, workers are sharpened, and merchants are used for currency, each according to the proximity of its resources and the reach of its strength, in order to do its best. It comes down to the way that is beneficial to the living, and that's it. Shinong is dedicated to cultivating the cultivators, and the sharp weapons are like the peasants and farmers. Industry and commerce are dedicated to sharp weapons and currency, and repair tools are like their workers and merchants. Therefore, it is said: The four people have different industries and the same way. This sentence comes from the fourth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty Wang Yangming wrote the Jie'an Fang Cemetery Table for Fang Lin, who abandoned Confucianism and did business, in this tomb table Wang Yangming not only said that Shinong Industry and Commerce "its attribution lies in the way that is beneficial to the living, then it is one", and further put forward the view that "the ancients and the four people have different industries and the same way, and they are dedicated to the same". The traditional concept of industry and commerce, which has always been regarded as a cheap industry, is placed at the height of the same "Tao" as the scholars. This is also the book that Ding Yi has been reading in recent days, and this book is a biography of Wang Yangming that took 50 points to find a system to change.

"Of course, the boy is not here to persuade His Majesty to reform this ancient precept. I just want to say that if you want to improve the national strength of Datang, you can't do without any of the Shinong industry and commerce. Artisans can create tools that are quick and easy to use to make farming easier. And the farmers have more convenient production, more land to cultivate, and naturally more grain. If there is more grain, in addition to paying taxes, there is still food rations, and it is inevitable to sell the surplus grain and buy some cloth, meat, and so on. At this time, the merchants played a big role, they were able to buy rice from the south of the Yangtze River and bring it to the north to sell. They can also pull the wheat from the north to the south, and they are indispensable wherever goods circulate. And if the craftsman improves the car and ship, it will be faster and carry more goods. The merchant would buy a large amount, and the craftsman would have to exchange it with the merchant for food and goods when he had the money. It is also possible to improve agricultural tools, vehicles, boats, etc., but today's craftsmen rely on experience to do things, and there is rarely a systematic method of teaching. At this time, you need a taxi to do it, of course, the taxi here is not the current taxi but a taxi like a minister." Don't forget to put a hat on yourself to show that you are not a Confucian student.

And Ding Yi's words are completely rebellious at the moment. As the emperor, Li Er's vision naturally cannot be so shallow. But for his remarks, he was shocked, and I have to say that there is some truth, and I think highly of Ding Yi in my heart.

Ding Yi also said earlier that he wanted to build a city dominated by industry, and these words were his explanation for his insistence on building a city. Several people in the hall were thinking about Ding Yi's words in their hearts, "work" is really so important

Li Er's face changed, he knew from the beginning that Ding Yi would not be a Confucian disciple. The words he said at this moment proved this even more. After half a ring, he asked, "Who said what you said earlier?"

"This person's name is Wang Shouren, the word Bo'an, and the number Yang Mingzi"

Yang Mingzi had never heard of this person, and it was his damn hometown, and I really wanted to break this Ding's mind and see where his hometown was

"Since you said that the construction of the city should focus on industry, you also thought about how to build it and where to put Confucianism"

Li Er was relieved and wanted to listen to Ding Yi's thoughts. It is also said that the relationship is powerful, focusing on work, and it is not in line with secular etiquette. Ding Yi said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has written an excerpt on this matter, and I ask Your Majesty to take a look" After speaking, he took out the plan that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it over

Hmph, sure enough, I was prepared
