After Wang Furen thought it through, he was not in a hurry to express any opinions, anyway, it was still early in this matter, and it was still too late to prepare slowly in the future, and it was not suitable to talk about business at the moment, so he talked about Wang Qihong: "Hong'er should stay at home for a while longer, and when your mother is better, you still have to go back to Gaochang." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Gaochang's affairs are very important, and the credit in the future is not small, and now the development over there is good, and you can't give up halfway, and give the great credit to others. You don't have to worry about family affairs, our Wang family is not a small family, so how can you take care of it. Besides, your mother is simply obsessed with charity, and when she is idle, she will play with some soldiers and tease her grandson, and she will not be bored. ”

Wang Furen said this, Wang Haoran still thought of it, he let Wang Qihong stay in the capital to control Gaochang, in addition to making it convenient for Wang Qihong to take care of his family, he would not lose his dominant position in Gaochang, but in this way, although the final credit can be counted on his head, there is always a feeling of sitting still.

"Brother Seven, what do you think?" Wang Haoran asked.

"My thoughts are the same as my father's, although I want to come back early, but I have to finish Gaochang's business."

"Okay then." Wang Haoran thought for a while and continued, "Seventh brother, let's do it, when you return to Gaochang, you will increase the price of cotton, add ten buckets of rice to the original price of each cart of cotton, and the price of those rice that is transported to Gaochang for sale will be increased by one dollar." In this way, we will definitely be able to set off a cotton planting boom in Gaochang, and our plan will be realized sooner. ”

Wang Qihong knows these things well, as soon as Wang Haoran said the price added, he could quickly calculate how much profit was left, and worried: "The selling price of cotton clothes is not high, and the profit is not much, if the price of cotton rises so much, I am afraid there will not be much profit." Besides, the demand for rice in Gaochang is not high, and the people who grow cotton definitely don't need to buy rice anymore, even if the price of rice is raised, they won't make much more money! ”

"It's okay, anyway, I don't want to make much money in Gaochang, besides, the price of rice has begun to fall now, and next year, it will fall even more, so we will make less money this year."

After Wang Yuning's funeral was completed, a eunuch came to Wang's house and said that His Majesty had something to find Wang Haoran, but did not say the specific summoning time, but just asked Wang Haoran to enter the palace when he was free in the past few days. Wang Haoran thought that there was nothing to do, so he simply followed the eunuch directly into the palace.

After Li Shimin comforted Wang Haoran, he got down to business: "Haoran, I want to allocate some silver taels from the treasury for business, what do you think?" ”

Wang Haoran hadn't heard of this before, but when he heard it, he was immediately interested, the thinking of the Tang Dynasty people is really not to be underestimated, and the business invested by the imperial court is a state-owned enterprise! If we follow the original historical process, the emergence of state-owned enterprises is still hundreds or thousands of years later!

"I wonder why Your Majesty did this?" Wang Haoran asked.

"What do you think is the benefit of that?" Li Shimin noticed Wang Haoran's surprise and interest, so this kid must have some insight into this matter, so he wanted to test Wang Haoran.

"The imperial court invests in business, which is very useful. First of all, it is easy to make money, because the imperial court has strong financial resources and various relevant policies can give it preferential treatment. If the imperial court has such an additional revenue channel, then various taxes for the common people can be reduced or reduced. However, this is not the most important one, the most important thing is that the so-called businessmen pursue profits, and businessmen often have many businessmen who will hoard, raise prices or vicious competition between merchants in order to maximize their interests, which are difficult to restrain by the imperial court legal system, after all, one is willing to buy and one is willing to sell. However, if there are transactions funded by the imperial court, the imperial court can influence the decision-making of other merchants by adjusting these transactions. For example, if the imperial court feels that the current grain price is too high or too low, if the imperial court has the largest grain producing area, it can affect the price of grain in the market by adjusting the selling price of grain, which is more effective than enforcing it through government decrees, and this can be the case in all walks of life. Another use is that with the development of people's living water, the needs of the people will become diversified, and no longer just seek food and clothing as in the past, although there is a demand where there is a business to do, but there are many aspects because of the difficulties, investment and no one cares, and only the imperial court has the strength to be this pioneer. For example, shipbuilding technology, not only has a large investment and many problems, but also the immediate interests are not clear, and there are many uncertainties. But the imperial court does not have to worry too much about these, if the imperial court develops a large ship that can sail far, it can find some routes to other states, so that the two countries can communicate with each other, and the imperial court can also monopolize the operation of the route, and it is not difficult to recover the cost, and then after that, the income from the route is simply the income of the imperial court. ”

Wang Haoran raised his hands in favor of the court's business, so he knew everything about answering this question, and he saw that Li Shimin was listening with relish, so he continued: "There are still some projects that are beneficial to the people, but the benefits are minimal, and they will even lose money, so no one is willing to do it." For example, the school, due to the sparsely populated land of Datang and the scattered distribution of the people, even if the common people are rich in the future and have spare money for their children to study, I am afraid that there are not many people who are willing to go to the poor mountains and remote places to build schools for the children of the common people to study. His Majesty has always taken the benefit of the people as his own responsibility, and if the treasury is full in the future, he can run more schools, although he cannot make money, but in the future, after these children have achieved success, they will not forget the cultivation of the imperial court. At that time, everyone in Datang will have books to read and talents, so will Datang still need to worry about not having the talent to govern the country? ”

Li Shimin nodded frequently in agreement, Wang Haoran's last sentence pierced his heart, above the current court, there are mostly military generals, and if you fight the country, it can be said that no one can match, but if you want to govern the country, where can these generals come in handy! There are only a handful of good ministers under Li Shimin, otherwise, how could Wei Yan, who had instigated Li Jiancheng to assassinate him, still sit in the position of prime minister? How could Ma Zhou, who was originally a courtier, also sit in the position of prime minister in just a few years? It's all because talent is hard to come by. Li Shimin's thirst for talents is extremely urgent, this time after listening to Wang Haoran's tirade, I felt a little emotional, but unfortunately this kid has no intention of being an official, otherwise, with this kid's talent in governing the country, he is also a good seedling to be a prime minister!
