Liu Sheng suddenly remembered the topic of the policy just now, looked at Wang An and said, "I have different opinions about Guofu."

"I want to hear about it". Wang An said solemnly, and several people gradually looked solemn after hearing this, and hurriedly listened carefully.

Liu Sheng looked at the solemn gazes of the four people, summed up the ideas he had talked about with Zhou Bo and Ming Yi in the past, and said slowly: "Merchants are like the blood of the country, and business prosperity is like the blood of people, and vice versa. If there is no agriculture, the country will be unstable, and if there is no business, it will not be rich."

When several people heard this, they looked a little puzzled. The way of businessmen has been despised by all dynasties throughout the ages. Although this dynasty does not explicitly state it, there are not a few people who maintain this view. If agriculture is fundamental, there is nothing to argue about, but if we talk about the way of businessmen......

Liu Sheng looked at the puzzled looks of several people, and was not in a hurry to explain anything immediately, but continued to say: "In the past, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous because of the Silk Road. Business and travel exchanges, how many countries are prosperous because of this. After five dynasties and ten kingdoms, countless people wanted to open up the Silk Road. But among the difficulties and obstacles, how can it be said in a few words? In addition to the land, there are rivers and oceans. What if the imperial court sent a sailor to the vast sea to reopen the Silk Road? “。

"Maritime Silk Road ......" several people murmured, Yang Yong, Wang An, and Sima Zhao suddenly laughed as if they were confused. Wang appeased his palms and laughed at Liu Sheng: "This statement is really a policy to rejuvenate the country, and there are countless countries along the sea route. If the Maritime Silk Road can be opened in this way, the country will surely be rich. If this matter is successful, it can be reproduced, and the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty in the past years."

"Liu Sheng, you really hit the nail on the head when you see the problem, your mind is like a wild idea, why didn't I think of it before the sea route" Sima Zhao also said with admiration, and he was a little annoyed with himself after speaking. Such a simple thing, why didn't I think of it before.

After listening to this, Yang Yong seemed to have something to ask, and asked Liu Sheng: "How to distinguish the direction of the vast sea." What if you can't tell the direction and get lost at sea?"

"Yes, the sea is unpredictable. If the wind is high and the waves are urgent, the slightest carelessness will destroy the ship and kill people" Jia Fu also thought of the fundamental question, and then Yang Yong's words continued to ask.

Liu Sheng looked at the questions they talked about and smiled slightly: "What if I had something that was easy to carry and could be used to identify the direction anytime and anywhere?"

"Then it will be done, the sea is difficult, and the most difficult thing is to lose your way. If you have a direction, you can send a ship to draw a nautical chart and order a shipping course." Wang An heard Liu Sheng say that there were items that could be discerned, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said affirmatively.

Several people nodded in agreement when they heard Wang An's words. Liu Sheng looked at the nodding of a few people, and said to a few people: "We have known each other for so long, and we have never given you anything." Why don't you take that item in a few days. Make it as a gift for your fun. It's just that when the time comes, don't dislike it."

"This thing is good for the country and the people, even if it is simple, it is extremely valuable, how can it be said that it is simple" Sima Zhao heard Liu Sheng say, and he wanted to make that item to discern the direction. Give them a gift, said with great joy.

Wang An and Yang Yong glanced at each other, and the two solemnly saluted Liu Sheng, Yang Yong said: "If there is really such a thing, this is the luck of the world, and I will be ashamed to accept it."

"Isn't it just a gadget if you guys are endless? Is it necessary for you to be so solemn? When I was in Jiajia Village before, Brother Sheng had already made it, and our children there liked to play. I don't feel like much of that little object, is it necessary for you to toss and turn around like this about this? Jafu looked at them, puzzled. Why this thing, let them be so solemn.

After hearing this, several people also felt that they were too polite just now, and they all laughed. Sima Zhao patted Jia Fu on the shoulder and said to him: "Believe it or not, that little thing can change the whole world."

"Alas, you people, it's so tiring to live" Jia Fu shook his head very exaggeratedly after hearing this.

Yang Yong looked at the sky and found that the sun was sinking in the west, and it was not early at this time. So he looked at a few people and said, "It is not early, everyone, we must return as soon as possible, so that the city gate will not be locked."

Several people also looked at the sky and found that it was getting dark, so they hurriedly walked back. Just said and laughed, I don't think. At this time, I hurried back and found that I had walked far away unconsciously.

The five of them ran out of breath and finally ran out of the city. I saw that the gates of the city were closed, and there were many soldiers in the city. Sima Zhao smiled bitterly and said to a few people: "We ran hard, but we were still slow. Shall we sleep outside this city today? “。

"I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore, you let me rest first." After Jia Fu finished speaking, he sat on the ground.

Wang An looked at Jia Fu, panted and pointed at him and smiled: "Say that you are fat and you are still panting, this weight loss effect is good."

Jia Fu listened to Wang An's joke, but he didn't have the strength to reply at all, but just gave him a big roll of the eyes. Yang Yong was amused, and deliberately said to everyone in a female voice: "People are not fat, they are fashionable."

Jia Fu vomited, and several people laughed wildly. After laughing, Liu Sheng said to the four of them: "It's not a way to go on like this." This gate cannot be entered, where shall we sleep in the open tonight? “。

"Don't worry, there's a temple about an hour walk from here. It is convenient for monks and people, and compassion is cherished. Where we stayed overnight, there should be no problem". Wang An looked at a few people and quickly explained.

Jia Fu finally had the strength at this time, and asked Wang An and Yang Yong exaggeratedly: "More than an hour?" How do you know, no, let me rest more."

Wang An looked at Jia Fu's exaggerated appearance, hurriedly helped him vent, and said as if breaking the news: "When we were children, we used to sneak out of the city together at the instigation of Yang Yong. At the beginning, me, Yang Yong, and the prince, the three of us ran out together. It was also a time to forget the time, and as a result, the city gate was closed. There was no way, so the three of us ran around and found the temple by accident. It wasn't until later that we slowly became sensible that our whereabouts had always been under the noses of the guards. It was he, consciously or unconsciously, who led us to this temple, almost isolated from the rest of the world."

"Is there a temple in the middle of nowhere?" Liu Sheng asked puzzledly, he had seen many temples that were extremely prosperous, and countless people burned incense to worship the Buddha, and it was impossible for no one to know about it.

Li Yong nodded very seriously, and said to Liu Sheng and the others in an admiring tone: "There are more than 3,000 monks in that temple, and the host once said when the temple was built, why should I care about the money, I wait for the monks." It is important to know that if the temple is poor, all living beings will be rich. If all living beings are rich, then I am a Buddha."

"They have always been obscure, they have never disturbed the people, and they have never been married. If there is a disaster in the sky, he will be born to travel and save the people and water and fire. When the matter is over, silently withdraw and leave. It does not proclaim the name of the temple, nor does it seek to retribution. Grateful for their compassion, the imperial courts of successive dynasties wanted to grant the fields around the temple and provide for the monks, but they refused. The host at that time once said that the Buddha said that all beings are equal, so why should we let others make offerings. The monks cultivated the fields on their own and paid their taxes as usual," Wang An said with admiration after taking Yang Yong's words.
