Following the carriage transporting the coins, Li Er led people all the way into the treasury in the depths of the East Palace, which naturally caused one riot after another on the way.

But fortunately, this is in the imperial city, and the people who came to send money were all stewards or members of the noble families of the major families, so they finally had some determination and did not cause any stampede accidents or anything like that.

And after arriving at the East Palace Treasury, Comrade Lao Li was once again shocked by the mountains of silver coins inside, watching those Zhijin Wu on duty in the East Palace constantly carry the money into the treasury with baskets, and fell to the ground, Li Er felt that his life was really in vain.

"Son-in-law, see father." Li Chengqian, who was watching the money manager count the money in front of the treasury, faced the old man who suddenly arrived, and stepped forward to salute with some embarrassment.

"These are all the silver coins handed over by the major families and nobles?" His Majesty Li Er waved his hand casually and motioned for Li Chengqian to calm down.

"Back to my father, yes!" Li Chengqian looked back at the carriage that was constantly transporting money in, and said with a wry smile: "Now Erchen knows why they are silent in the early court, and dare to love that these guys are in a hurry to send the money over." ”

His Majesty Li Er didn't pay attention to Li Chengqian, and said with a long sigh: "I didn't expect that these guys would be so rich, and 300,000 yuan can really be collected overnight." ”

"Father, it's a good thing that they have money, at least they won't abuse the people because of a little money, right?" Li Chengqian's explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it is not unreasonable.

His Majesty Li Er snorted, and accepted this statement, but there was still a trace of anger on his face, as if he was dissatisfied with the nobles being so rich.

But who is to blame for this? It is not a day or two that the nobles have money, if it is in the modern era of later generations, there may be a judicial body to supervise these high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but there is no such institution in Datang.

Moreover, there is no law in Datang prohibiting officials' relatives and friends from doing business, so those nobles naturally want to arrange for the children of Jiazhong to do some business or something after taking power, and they must have the right not to expire and invalidate.

Another point is the rewards given by Lao Li Yuan and His Majesty Li Er after the Tang Dynasty was settled, these rewards sometimes seem not much, but they can't stand the number of times.

Therefore, the money of the nobles who came and went slowly was saved, and now it is not a strange thing to take it out when it is time to use it.

But Li Chengqian didn't dare to say this in front of the old man, if he said it, it was really like overturning a boatload of people with one shot, and even the family and the nobles were offended, so he could only talk about things with more money and consciousness, as for whether he was really conscious after he became rich...... Hey.

"Father, there are a lot of people here, and it's very messy, it's better to go to Erchen's study and sit down, it just so happens that Erchen also has something to ask his father for advice." Li Chengqian waited for a long time, and when he saw that the old man didn't say anything more, he just looked at the money in the treasury in a daze, and couldn't help but invite him to his study.

After hearing his son's suggestion, Lao Li nodded homeopathically: "Then let's go, just save me from worrying about watching here." ”

Troublesome, indeed troublesome. Watching the money of the whole vehicle being sent into the warehouse, but he couldn't move a cent, it would be strange if he didn't make trouble.

Li Chengqian smiled with a smiling face: "Father, they can also be regarded as contributing to the construction of the Tang Dynasty, and it is better to take out the money to build the railway than to bury it in the livestock shed." ”

"I know that your understanding of money is different from others, and I also know your theory that money makes money, but what I can't figure out is that there are still many people in my Datang who are struggling on the verge of life and death, and there are still many people who can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, but why can these people earn their money with peace of mind." His Majesty Li Er walked on the road to his former study, clenching his fists tightly.

"This is determined by ideology, the rich will always be rich, and the poor will always be poor." Li Chengqian stayed by the old man's side and said with a sigh.

"I don't believe it, I must change this, I want to make all the people of the Tang Dynasty rich, so that everyone can eat meat and have clothes to wear." Lao Li turned his head and glanced at Li Chengqian, with something indescribable in his eyes.

When the time comes, we will fight the local tyrants, divide the land, overthrow the two mountains of feudalism and imperialism, and realize equality for all, Li Chengqian added a sentence to the old man in his heart.

However, these things are only a flash in Comrade Xiao Li's mind, as far as his heart is concerned, he is now accustomed to the current life, if he really plays a revolution or something, I am afraid that the first person to vote against it is himself.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with enlightenment or anything like that, it's mainly about the ideology he just mentioned.

The current people of Datang do not have such a good political consciousness, if they are really made equal, it will make them feel at a loss and do not know what to do.

In this era when the literacy rate is less than 1 in 1,000, you can't expect an illiterate person to run the country well, and after everyone is equal, it will only be chaos in the world.

Because there are too few scholars, or some scholars are too idealistic and have no experience in governing the locality, the sudden equality will only make them angry and finally tear the country apart.

One of the most direct examples of this is Wang Mang, who promoted something ahead of his time when the time was not ripe, and while infringing on the interests of vested interests, he had no way to form another set of efficient and authoritative leadership groups.

All literate people had vested interests in the past, and the beneficiaries of the New Deal, the common people, were incapable of running the country.

As a result, he had to run the country with some opponents of the New Deal, and the final result was self-evident.

Li Chengqian saw this clearly, so he did not promote equality for all in the Tang Dynasty, and the state-owned system only stopped after some tentative work. Although there are some selfish motives here, in general, it is because this era is not suitable for equality.

But the old man's sudden emotion made Li Chengqian feel a dangerous signal, he was very afraid that the old man would be impulsive and come to everyone as an equal person to play a revolution in Datang.

"Why don't you speak? Aren't you usually quite able to talk? In Lao Li's former study, His Majesty Li Er sat on the main throne and looked at Li Chengqian, who had been silent.

"Father, are you planning to rectify the rule of officials?" Regarding the old man's complaint just now, Li Chengqian asked.

"The rule of officials must be rectified, but now is not the time, I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, those nobles and families will not touch them for the time being."
