His Majesty Li Er didn't pay attention to Wei Yan's expression, but pondered directly, jumped off the horse, stood beside Wei Yan with his hands behind his back, raised his eyes, and looked at the small mountain village in the distance in contemplation. His Majesty Li Er dismounted, and it was impossible for anyone to continue to sit on the horse, so everyone dismounted and stood quietly behind His Majesty Li Er, waiting for him to come back to his senses.

"Wei Yan, the so-called capital accumulation, how to accumulate? What is accumulation? ”

Looking at it for a while, His Majesty Li Er asked. Wei Yan scratched his head, walked over, and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called capital, to put it bluntly, is money, capital accumulation is almost the accumulation of small money to big money, for such a small mountain village, these are too far away, and it is a big deal to solve the stomach problem first." ”

According to the learned Ma Zhe, the productivity and the mode of production, in the Tang Dynasty is not unbalanced, and it is far from the level of large-scale explosion of social contradictions, just after the war has only been a few years, talking about the so-called explosion is too far away, it is unrealistic, now is the time for everyone to engage in production and fill their stomachs.

His Majesty Li Er smiled, touched his beard and said: "These words are insightful, but I don't understand very well, come, even if it's to chat with me, let's talk about it." ”

Wei Yan organized the language and said, "Let me tell Your Majesty about what the ministers have seen and heard overseas." The people take food as the sky, first, what they must do is to fill their stomachs, and then they can talk about other things. Overseas, if you want to exhibit or something, the first thing you need to do is that the people can be fed, clothed, fed, sheltered, and clothed, as long as they can cover their shame, it is no problem to wear tattered clothes, live and travel, as long as there is a tile that can survive, they can deal with it. When you are full, there is a surplus, and then someone wants to sell, and if even feeding yourself is a problem, who will sell food? The stomach is full, there is no problem with survival, and then. People will think about other things. When there is not enough food to eat, I want to plant all the land with grain, for fear of starvation. Only when there is enough food to eat, will they want to grow something that can be sold for money, and then use it to add other things. That's probably the process. ”

His Majesty Li Er had a contemplative expression on his face, obviously trying to understand what Wei Yan meant, and motioned for Wei Yan to continue. Wei Yan continued: "In overseas countries, the problem of feeding the people has been basically solved, many cash crops can be planted, and there is a surplus labor force, but the problem of development is still the top priority. The place with good terrain and convenient transportation are easy for businessmen to reach. Commodities are also easy to transport, and the economic exhibition is better, and the economy is better, which drives the exhibition of other industries. When the local people have higher incomes, they will naturally become richer. In areas with poor transportation, it is difficult to exhibit, even if there are surplus materials. Either they are allowed to spoil in the field, or they are shipped out more than they gain, or the price of selling them cannot keep up with the cost of transporting them out. ”

This situation was very common in the modern remote mountainous areas of later generations. Although Wei Yan's hometown is also a small mountain village, with the reform and opening up, the transportation conditions have improved. Life is getting better. It was because of the exhibition in their village that they thought that all parts of the country must be connected to roads. In fact, not all places have roads, and there are still a large part of the remote mountainous areas, not to mention cars, not even bicycles and motorcycles can not get on, so they can only walk on foot. The transportation basically depends on the back of manpower, and the large ones rely on horses and other livestock to carry out the mountain.

When Wei Yan went to the countryside with the medical team, he met him once. There are about three or four small villages, all in the mountains, and the nearest one is a four-hour steep mountain road from the town, and there are basically no young people at home, and the young people have gone out to work, only the elderly, with an average age of more than 60. At that time, when entering the mountains, the medical team's ground supplies were carried by these old people, and even if they carried the goods, they walked the mountain road faster than Wei Yan and other young people, and at that time, the big girls and boys of the medical team were ashamed and speechless.

I remember that at that time, there was a big fat pig raised by a family in the mountain for a year finally slaughtered, and it could be sold for more than 1,000 yuan when it came down the mountain, which was a big income in the local area, after all, it was just a poor mountainous area with a per capita annual income of only a few hundred. There were no young people in the family, only two elderly people were left at home. In order to get the pigs down the mountain to sell, no one was willing to help transport them down the mountain with a bid of two hundred. You must know that two hundred is in the local area, which is more than enough for people in the mountains to live for three months. In the end, there was no way, the price was increased to three hundred, and it was still relying on the face of acquaintances to get the fat pig down the mountain.

There are even some places where the mountains are a little gentler, but because of the long distance, the pigs are driven down the mountain to sell, and the pigs are killed on the way. This is a common situation in remote areas. Wei Yan said: "In places with convenient transportation, people don't raise pigs one by one, they are all raised in groups, and it is convenient to sell some things, of course, it is easy to show up, and in places with inconvenient transportation, it is difficult to sell something." To exhibit, it is easier said than done, but it is more practical to feed your stomach. So, it's not that people are lazy, but they really don't have the conditions, and the manpower is sometimes poor. ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "These things can't be done only by the people, only by relying on the imperial court to preside over them, only relying on one township and one county, one, there is not so much money, and the other is not so much power and power." It seems that being an emperor not only has to expand the territory, but also the national economy and people's livelihood are the emperor's business. ”

Wei Yan saluted and smiled: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed: "Wise? If I am wise, then the world is like Chang'an, and it will not be like what you said. ”

Wei Yan thought very openly, and when the productive forces were not in place, and when the productive forces were only at the level of feudal society, it was obviously unrealistic to ask people to do things that the scientific and technological society had not done. There is a process of social exhibition, and Rome is not built in a day. So sometimes, it's very incomprehensible how the young people in YY can make the whole world progress directly from feudal society to capitalist society in just one or two decades!

Wei Yan said: "Your Majesty, the exhibition is not a matter of one generation, but the accumulation and efforts of many, many generations, Your Majesty has laid a great territory for future generations, the prestige of the world, and the reputation of the millennium. Perhaps not only Your Majesty, but countless generations of emperors in later generations are laying the foundation for future generations, but it is precisely because of these foundations that the prosperity of future generations can be established. ”

"Wei Ziyue. You've grown up in your sycophancy! ”

Although His Majesty Li Er's face was not obvious, his expression was pleasant. It's just with a hint of regret. Wei Yan smiled and didn't defend himself, because what he said was the truth. In later generations, when it comes to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, most people's hearts are full of yearning and admiration, the Tang Empire, that is a period in Chinese history that cannot be ignored, and Emperor Taizong is one of the brightest stars in that period of history.

His Majesty Li Er looked into the distance and said to Wei Yan: "Ziyue, you see that these great rivers and mountains are all in my palm. It's also on my shoulders. When I fight, I like to finish my work in one battle, and it would be great if I could do it in one battle in this world. ”

Wei Yan smiled: "Your Majesty, you are all done. So what should future generations do? Always leave something to show for others, otherwise, be careful that people will scold you behind you. Hey, this is too capable, one person has done everything, and let no one live! ”

His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, laughed, and patted Wei Yan's shoulder hard, grinning in pain. If it's not a matter of face. I'm afraid I'm going to sit down on the spot. This body is too strong. His Majesty Li Er smiled: "Ziyue is right. If I finish everything, I am afraid that history will say that I have a group of pus-filled descendants, and I will only enjoy the glory and blessings of my ancestors. I also hope that Lao Tzu will be a hero. ”

Wei Yan smirked, not knowing how to answer. His Majesty Li Er didn't care whether he answered or not, but he had a lot of fun talking to himself, his eyes shone for a while, and he suddenly sighed and muttered: "It's just that this world is so big, there are too many things to do." ”

Wei Yan said with a smile: "No matter how many things there are, we can also do it slowly one by one, accumulate one by one, and one day we can build a good foundation, and one day we can build a new house." It's a big deal, let's make an account, estimate how much income the family will have each year, and then make a plan. For example, if you have an income of 100 yuan, deduct the necessary family expenses, divide the surplus into different portions as needed, invest it in different places, accumulate little by little, and one day it will get better. ”

His Majesty Li Er listened thoughtfully, and muttered, "This...... It should also belong to the overall planning, right? ”

Wei Yan turned his head and thought about it, and said: "It should be, Your Majesty, the minister is not a professional, and neither is the minister's wife, but it just looks at overseas countries doing this, the annual national financial revenue, deducting the necessary military expenses and the maintenance of the imperial court, which money to allocate to local river construction, which money to allocate to where to build a highway and so on, it seems that there is a special plan, how to get it, the minister doesn't understand, the minister is just an ordinary little doctor." ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "This is a good method, wait for me to discuss it with the Zhongqing family, if it can be implemented, Wei Yan, you have made another contribution!" ”

Wei Yan was pleasantly surprised, hehe smirked, these days are too easy to mix, any talk can be regarded as a credit, I really want to announce it unrestrainedly----Your Majesty Li Er, I like you so much!" However, after saying this, will you be beheaded? In case the eldest grandson queen misunderstands and is jealous...... Yes, a woman's heart is a needle!

His Majesty Li Er and Wei Yan stood and talked for a long time, and after speaking, His Majesty Li Er turned his head and asked the three children who came with him: "Except for the son, the pheasant slave and Min'er, do you two understand what I and Zi Yue said?" ”

Li Zhi saluted and said: "Back to my father, I can understand the general meaning, but my son thinks that these words are not just as simple as they seem, but also have a deeper meaning, but my son is stupid and can't understand it thoroughly, so I ask my father to surrender." ”

His Majesty Li Er's expression could not show joy and anger, "Hmm", turned to Gao Yang, and asked Gao Yang: "What about you?" Min'er, do you understand? ”

Gao Yang's little face turned strange red, and he said with a little shame: "Back to my father, the master has already said these words to his son, but the way he said them is not the same as that of his master, but the general meaning is the same, so his son understands it." ”

His Majesty Li Er said curiously: "Oh? How did Mrs. Wei tell you, and why did she say this? ”

Gao Yang's face turned red when he was asked, and he whispered: "Because the master thinks that the ministers are extravagant and wasteful, the master said that there are too many senseless expenses, and there is really a suspicion that you don't know the hardships if you don't make money." The monthly money issued by the inner government, the sons and daughters never handle it, they only know how to spend it, and they never worry about the day when the money is not enough, they always think that everything has a father and the emperor, and the sons and daughters are princesses, so they don't have to worry about the day when the money is not enough to spend. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yang glanced at her father carefully, and her father just motioned for her to continue, Gao Yang is still a big child, this matter is a wrong thing for her, she was criticized by Xie Jiu, and now she is still a little apprehensive when she says it to her father, but thinking that she has been corrected, she is more courageous, and her master Xie Jiu once told her that as long as she corrects it, it will be fine.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang strengthened his courage, and continued: "The retainers spent in the past, all when they needed it, and they asked for it from the grandmothers, and the things they liked were bought again and again, and even when they were angry, they threw a lot of them. Many accounts, now it seems, do not know exactly what was spent and why it was spent. When Erchen first apprenticed, the master taught Erchen these things, and the master said that people should always know their own lives, even the daily expenses and the like are confused, and life is just a fool. Master also asked his retainers if they knew where the rice came from, if they knew who made the clothes they wore, if they knew how much food they needed to spend in a month, and if they knew how much ordinary people spent in a month. When the master asked these questions, the sons couldn't answer them! The master laughed and scolded Erchen for being a little fool, and Erchen thought about it himself. After that, I had learned this kind of thing with my master's heart, and I also had a clear number in my heart, so my son could understand what my father said to my master today. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded, glanced at Wei Yan meaningfully, and said, "Ziyue, you husband and wife are really good at educating children. ”

Wei Yan smiled with a smile of "I am an honest person" and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister's wife, she is serious by nature, she likes to do things and behave clearly and understandably, and she lacks harmony, and Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "There are a lot of benefits to being so disposable, you must have a lot of savings in the Wei Mansion now, right?" ”

How do you answer this question? Although Lord Taiza is a good housekeeper and a husband who follows Zhang Guang to enjoy happiness, it seems that he is a little lacking in heart to expose the family savings naked! We Chinese pay attention to the muffled wealth, so it is too inappropriate to show it so much.

His Majesty Li Er didn't care about Wei Yan's smirk, and he also knew that Yi Wei's slippery head probably didn't need to expect him to tell the truth, and His Majesty Li Er didn't want to listen to nonsense, so he simply continued: "Now that I think about it, when I go to the Zhuangzi of Weifu that day, the scene is better than others, and the life of the Zhuang family is also richer, it seems that I should send someone to learn the way of business from Mrs. Wei." Min'er, come, tell your father, how did you spend before? How much does it cost today? And how did Mrs. Wei teach you? ”

Gao Yang saw that her father did not criticize her, and there seemed to be signs of praise, so she honestly reported the expenses before and after carefully, and also said the things that Xie Jiu helped her settle the accounts and clear the accounts, reducing a lot of unnecessary expenses, the quality of life has not changed at all, it is even better than other princesses, but the cost is less than before, and at present, it is said that she has a small savings.
