"Teacher, Rokuro, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" Anyway, there were no outsiders, and Cui Yu, who was confused when he listened, seized the opportunity and immediately asked.

"Brother Cui, Wang Fu and I are discussing the possibility of reconciliation with the five surnames and Qiwang!" Li Yu smiled and said something that made Cui Yu stunned.

"Reconciliation? This...... Is this possible? Cui Yu's mind really couldn't turn for a while, some time ago, the industrial and commercial owners represented by Li Su, and the big family represented by the five surnames and Qiwang were intractable, and now the industrial and commercial owners finally had the upper hand, but now Li Su actually proposed reconciliation, which is really unacceptable.

"Yu'er, Liulang's use of the word reconciliation is not appropriate, to be precise, it should be the assimilation of the five surnames and seven wangs!" Wang An corrected beside him.

"Assimilation!" Cui Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this, it was much easier for him to understand this word, and he also vaguely understood, why did Rokuro say that he was a good example?

"It's still Wang Fu's accurate words, and it's indeed assimilation!" Li Su also stroked his palms and laughed after hearing this, "Although the five surnames and seven hopes are based on the land, in fact, for hundreds of years, they have also been involved in the industrial and commercial activities of the Central Plains, but under the influence of Confucianism, they do not attach importance to it, but now in addition to the development of industry and commerce, I believe that those great families have seen the power of industry and commerce, and if they are willing to put down one thing and participate in industrial and commercial activities, I believe that they can definitely become a decisive force in the industrial and commercial circles, but if so." But they are going to lose something very important! ”

"Liulang, you said that you are in control of the court!" Cui Yu is not stupid, and immediately thought of what the Great Family was about to lose from Li Yu's words.

"Not bad! Development of industry and commerce. It will inevitably lead to social change, and it is inherent in the social system of the people and the industry. It will definitely be broken, and in this way, the dominance of the scholar class will definitely be vigorously challenged by the new industrial and commercial class, and I can even assert that the scholar will definitely lose the dominance that they have controlled for thousands of years! Li Su said categorically. What he said has been verified by history, so naturally he will not be wrong.

After listening to Li Su's inference, Wang An also nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with his point of view. In fact, sometimes Wang An is also very curious about Li Su. After this intermittent contact, he found that Li Su was not as magical as the legend, it is true that he is smart, but there are not no people who are smarter than him. However, Li Su has one thing that is extremely magical, that is, he has a very accurate grasp of the general trend of the world, and sometimes even he is willing to lose, and even Wang An doubts whether Li Su has the ability to predict the future?

"If you want a scholar to hand over the power in his hands, this is a difficult thing to do!" Cui Yu also said with a wry smile.

"Brother Cui is wrong, in fact, this matter is not difficult to say. It's up to us to be patient. Li Su looked very relaxed.

"Rokuro is right, the development of industry and commerce has been gradually encroaching on the foundation of the rule of the scholars, and the process of this encroachment will be faster and faster, and when this foundation is destroyed, it will be the end of the rule of the scholars, but what kind of situation it will be at that time, even I can't say." When Wang An said this, his face also showed a trace of confusion.

Although Wang An has great wisdom. But after all, man is not a god, and he is bound by the thinking of this era, so he naturally cannot see the series of consequences caused by the rise of the bourgeoisie. However, as a later generation, Li Su knows better than anyone that if industry and commerce are allowed to develop, capital will inevitably swell to an alarming extent, and what is likely to be followed is a bourgeois revolution. …,

From the moment of its birth, the monster of capital has been greedy and predatory, and anything that dares to block its development path will inevitably be overthrown by its brute force. And the scholar class, headed by the big families of the five surnames and seven wangs, is the first opponent it encounters after it is born, and only after defeating this opponent can it create an environment more suitable for its development and expansion.

In addition, Li Su is also very soberly aware that when the capital swells to a certain extent, it is likely to contradict the imperial power, which has been verified countless times in Western history, whether it is Britain or France, they have paid a heavy price for the bourgeois revolution. Although the imperial power of the Central Plains Dynasty was much stronger than that of Western countries in later generations, it was also difficult to subdue the monster of capital.

As a member of the royal family, Li Su naturally didn't want the capital monster he released to devour the rule of the Tang royal family in turn. In addition, capital is not only a monster, but also a double-edged sword, if used well, not only can strengthen the country and enrich the people, but also can pull the Chinese dynasty out of the strange circle of division and integration, and fundamentally avoid the occurrence of those tragedies in later generations, and this is the fundamental reason why Li Yu released the monster of capital without hesitation.

As for how to control the monster of capital, to ensure that it can deliver nutrients to itself and Datang while hurting the enemy? Li Su already had a preliminary idea for this, but this idea could only be realized when industry and commerce were raised to a certain level, and capital began to show its greedy and bloody side. After two years of development, coupled with the original foundation of Datang, although the development of capital has not yet met Li Su's requirements, but the difference is limited, and when Datang's textile industry begins to get on the right track, it is the time when he begins to realize his vision.

The three of them chatted while drinking, Wang An probably saw that the two disciples were there, so he drank a few glasses, but was blown by the cold wind on the lake, and immediately felt overwhelmed, so he went to the cabin of the painting boat to rest, leaving only Li Su and Cui Yu. The two of them used to be close friends, but now because of Cui Mengxue's matter, some other things have been added to each other's friendship, so after Wang An left, they didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Liulang, I heard that you have already attacked the Fanyang Lu clan, and you have also mobilized a lot of Chang'an new families to help you?" In the end, it was Cui Yu who took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and began to ask about forcing the Lu family to withdraw from the marriage.

"Hehe, I know that this matter can't be hidden from Brother Cui, the Lu family only has land and linen industry support, and it just so happens that the development of the textile industry needs population and market, so I made a plan for the Lu family, first plundered the farmers on the other party's land with the textile factory, and then waited for the cotton cloth of the textile factory to be produced, and then grabbed the sales market of linen, but because cotton needs a growth cycle, I also did some tricks and feet on the raw materials for the production of linen, presumably the Lu family is also worried about these things!" Li Su said with a smile that he was still very confident in forcing the Lu family to withdraw from the marriage.

However, Cui Yu was obviously a little worried, and spoke again: "Liulang, although your approach has squeezed the Lu family into a situation of life and death, what if the other party would rather die than give in, or refuse to withdraw from the marriage?" And in a few months, it will be the marriage period of Xiaomei and that Lu Hong, and the time is very urgent! ”

Li Su also knew that time was pressing, but he still said with a smile: "Brother Cui, rest assured, the Lu family definitely does not have the courage to give up his family for the sake of a woman, even if that Lu Hong does not agree, but the Lu family will definitely force him to withdraw from the marriage, take 10,000 steps back and say, if they are really willing to die and not give in, then I will also let the Lu family know that assassinating a person without leaving any clues is not the only one who can play!" ”…,

When Li Yu said the last sentence, his voice was very soft, but hearing Cui Yu's ears, it made him feel shocked at the same time, and he couldn't help but be moved, and blurted out at the moment: "Liulang, you have to think clearly, if Lu Hong is really assassinated, then everyone in the world will know that you did it, even if there are no clues, but for your fame, it is a huge blow, and it will even ......"

Speaking of this, Cui Yu suddenly hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "It will even affect your competitiveness for the throne, after all, neither Your Majesty nor any civil and military officials would want to see a prince who uses assassination as a means to ascend to the throne!" ”

Cui Yu's words can be described as heart-wrenching, after all, the crown prince is still Li Chengqian, but he is here openly discussing the matter of discussing the succession to the throne with Li Yu, if it reaches the ears of people with a heart, even if he is from a prominent background, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Hearing Cui Yu's words, Li Su was a little speechless, because last time Li Shimin praised himself, the result was full of storms, and everyone thought that he was most likely to replace Li Chengqian and become the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately only Li Su and Li Shimin knew that he would never inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Cui, about the throne, let's let it be!" Li Su was really lazy to discuss the throne with others, so he immediately stopped and changed the topic, "By the way, Brother Cui, I don't know how Mengxue has been these days, are you still angry with me?" ”

When it comes to the little sister, Cui Yu said with some emotion: "Liulang, I was still a little worried before, thinking that you felt indebted to the little sister, so I agreed to marry her, but now I see that you did not hesitate to destroy your reputation for her, and marry the little sister to you in the future, I, as the eldest brother, am finally relieved." ”

Cui Yu's heartfelt words made Li Yu a little embarrassed, but before he could be modest, he heard the other party say: "Liulang, although I am at ease with you, I still have a few words to explain, because don't look at Mengxue as my own sister, but in fact, she is a hard-working woman, and she doesn't know how many grievances she has suffered since she was a child!" ”

When Li Su heard Cui Yu's words, her eyes were condensed, and her face was also filled with a look of doubt, with Mengxue's identity, who else would dare to let her be wronged? (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
