Chapter 262: Li Er's praise
Chang'an, the palace of government.
Li Er and Empress Changsun were still talking about Li Yi.
"In my opinion, it is already very remarkable, at least I see the signs of business taking off, and under the influence of the business alliance, business is becoming cleaner and more formal. However, the charitable foundation run by this kid is also remarkable! ”
Li Er stroked his beard, his expression was very leisurely, this period of time, due to the continuous development of the business alliance and charity, it has also brought substantial progress to the imperial court, at least not worried about money, Li Er used to tighten his belt to live, but now, not only does he not need to be deliberately thrifty, but also has a surplus of money, which is not the money of the imperial court, but completely from the dividends distributed by the business alliance to the royal family. Li Er no longer wants the imperial court to give his inner treasury another copper plate, relying on the dividends of the Shang Alliance is completely more than enough. And Li Yi has a lot more money to give to the prince, and now the waist is straight, and the shot is also generous, he recently plans to renovate the Daxing Palace from the inside out, and even rebuild it directly, anyway, it's not bad money now, well, just do it, let them design it tomorrow, and start construction next year!
About the Charity Foundation, Empress Changsun knows that she made Changle the president of the Charity Foundation at the beginning, and Changle often asks her about some charity issues, although she doesn't know how to do charity, but the management of Empress Changsun is absolutely good at it, and the royal harem has always been open and secretly fighting, and the waves are turbulent. But under her management, the harem during the Zhenguan period was unusually harmonious, at least there were not so many messy things, and Li Er had never worried about the affairs of the harem, so to speak, the eldest grandson queen was definitely a virtuous queen, and the name of the top ten virtuous queens through the ages was definitely not blown out.
"I still know about the matter of the charitable foundation, I have to say. This is definitely a great idea, not only for the benefit of the country and the people, but also to reduce the burden on the imperial court. And for concubines, the biggest benefit of this charitable foundation is that we women can find a livelihood, and at worst, let us women can support themselves; To put it mildly, she made us women find the meaning of existence! ”
When Empress Changsun said this, her eyes leaked with deep gratitude, and a woman who had not lived in ancient times would never know what it was like to be inferior and have no human rights. It is a kind of despair of life, and it is a kind of face that can only face firewood, rice, oil, salt, laundry and cooking. And the sadness of not being able to show your head and be independent. Although the charity foundation may seem simple, it is absolutely significant for women.
Now the charitable foundation has not yet developed, so for the sake of development, so that no one dares to find trouble, Li Yi let the nobles hold all the power. But when the charitable foundation grows and spreads all over the country, that is when women really come out, and at that time, there will inevitably be thousands of women who will become members of the charitable foundation, and at that time, commoner women can also participate in charity, because there are not so many aristocratic women to run such a huge charity. Therefore, it is necessary to involve poor women. And at that time, you can be admitted on the basis of merit, and the first iron law of entering the charitable foundation must ensure that the character passes, which is an iron law, and I believe that there is this iron law. Charitable foundations can not only have a good environment for development, but also have greater opportunities for civilian women. Finally, because of the charitable foundation, they can not only improve their social status, but also broaden their horizons, after all, doing charity is originally a matter of running everywhere. With this foundation, women can be truly emancipated, and at that time, the shackles that block women's freedom will be broken, and no one can stop it.
Of course, Empress Changsun can't see it this far, but now the benefits of the charitable foundation to women are just the tip of the iceberg, which is enough to make Empress Changsun excited.
"Yes! Yi Xiaozi has always said that women are not worse than men in some aspects, and even stronger, but the ancestral system for thousands of years is not so easy to break. Now it's okay, the charity foundation not only allowed Changle to find a job, but also this charity did help the court to do a lot of things, because of charity, Chang'an and Luoyang basically have no widows and lonely people, the people praise the court, and because Changle is my royal princess, the people also because of this matter, the support for my royal family has reached an unprecedented height, Xuan Ling said, now the people of Chang'an and Luoyang are strong support for all the policies of the court, and there is no more vexatious obstruction, Even if there were a few who objected, they were immediately dissuaded by others. Now the imperial court's handling of the government affairs of Chang'an and Luoyang is very smooth, and the officials in the two places are almost idle! ”
Li Er said with a smile, I have to say that Li Er is definitely an enlightened monarch, for the liberation of women, although he still has some scruples, but it is not unacceptable, at least he does not support or oppose it. As for how far he can go, it's up to Li Yi to do it. What Li Er values more is the prestige that the charitable foundation brings to him. His throne was not right in the first place, and he was still an ambitious emperor, so Li Er wanted to do a big job. And the charity foundation is his golden body, with him, his prestige among the people will reach an unprecedented height, now just Chang'an and Luoyang, has already made him taste the great sweetness, as for the spillover brought by the development of philanthropy to the world, Li Er can tremble with excitement when he thinks about it, so he will never allow any mistakes in charity.
It is also for this reason that the eldest grandson Wuji has secretly proposed to him many times to take back the management of the charitable foundation. Now there are many people who can see the benefits of charitable foundations, and it can be said that with charitable foundations, it is equivalent to having Danshu iron coupons and gold medals for avoiding death. This is equivalent to having a golden body as thick as a city wall, and there are restrictions on the number of times the Danshu iron coupon and the death-free gold medal, and the final interpretation right belongs to the imperial court. But this golden body is really invincible, it can be said that with this level of prestige, even if Li Er wants to kill them, he must think about it, after all, Li Er also has to consider public opinion! Therefore, there is definitely not only one person who is greedy for Changsun Wuji, there are already many people who have made a move, but Changsun Wuji has the greatest chance because of the special relationship between Empress Changsun and Changle.
However, Li Er refused all of them, Li Yi's special request was on the one hand, and more importantly, Li Er himself didn't want to give this golden body to any minister, and only to his daughter or a woman Li Er could rest assured, for Li Er, as long as this golden body was not for the official itself, he had a way to make him unable to borrow a little bit of the golden body, even if it was his own wife.
Empress Eldest Sun didn't know that so many thoughts had flashed between Li Er's breaths, and she didn't want to know, she had never cared much about these intrigues.
After sighing for a moment, Empress Eldest Sun said, "By the way, Your Majesty, didn't Boy Yi also help you set up a money bank?" How's it going now? ”
"Money? Well, this money village is a good thing, with him, the court has at least thirty percent more taxes available every year, it can be said that the wealth of the world is used by the court, which is definitely a good thing. It's just that I heard Xuan Ling say that the current money village is a little busy because of more and more customers, and it has fallen into a bottleneck, because the people need the guarantee of the imperial court to deposit and withdraw money in the money bank, so it needs a lot of manpower, but now it is powerless, if this problem is not solved, the money village will never be able to develop, and it will even cause a catastrophe. ”
Speaking of Qianzhuang, Li Er is also a little worried, the benefits of Qianzhuang to the imperial court are also unprecedentedly huge, but now there is no trouble to operate, and it does not quench thirst, because the people are still suspicious of Qianzhuang, so the people deposit and withdraw money very frequently, so the money that Qianzhuang can spare to give to the court is less than one percent. Li Er is now like seeing a piece of fatty meat, but he can only lick the oil around him, he can only look at it and can't eat it, the most important thing is that this piece of meat may spoil at any time now, how can Li Er not be in a hurry?
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be too anxious, Yi boy always takes one step and three steps to do things, so it is impossible for him not to know about such a situation, and besides, the concubine estimates, he is also thinking of a solution now, so Your Majesty might as well ask him!"
"Alas! I also know that this kid is really very relieved to do things, but this kid is estimated to be anxious now, I didn't expect that according to the plan, just let him prepare for the development of Jiangnan, which can be regarded as an experience for him, and this thing, for that kid, is equivalent to a vacation. But who knew that the family would intervene at this time. The current power of the family is still very strong, if they really want to be true to Li Yi, then the kid may not be able to withstand it. Alas! Five surnames and seven hopes, it is really getting more and more arrogant! ”
When Li Er said this, his killing intent burst out, and it could be seen that Li Er's tolerance for the five surnames and seven hopes had reached the limit, and if it wasn't the time, Li Er would probably have taken action against them a long time ago.
Empress Changsun's face is also not good-looking, and he has no good impression of the family, but as a wife, Li Er should be dissuaded at this time, so that he can't lose his mind.
"Your Majesty, you can think about it differently, perhaps, if the family clan meets Li Yi, I'm afraid it should be them who are in a hurry!"
Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "Hahaha, Guanyin, what you said is right, with Yi Boy's temper, he will definitely not make them feel good, I just need to watch the excitement!"
Li Er's smiling eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, he had already buried the killing intent of the family in his heart, and when the time was ripe, it was a thunderous blow.
At this time, suddenly a eunuch came to report.
"Your Majesty, Lord Fang is out asking to see you!"
"Xuan Ling?" Li Er thought for a moment and showed a smile. "Guanyin, I have an intuition, Xuan Ling's visit this time is definitely about Yi Boy!"
Empress Eldest Sun leaked a trace of surprise, and was about to get up and leave, but when she heard Li Er say this, she stayed with interest. "Oh? Why is Your Majesty so sure? ”
"Intuition, haha, absolute intuition!"
"Let Xuan Ling come in!"
