Chapter 114: Wang Fu
"Your Highness, you have been working hard to develop industry and commerce, but have you thought about what kind of impact it will have on you when industry and commerce develop?" Wang An asked with a serious face.
The impact on yourself? Li Su was slightly stunned, this question reminded him that when he first came to Datang, because he was worried that the battle for the throne would affect him, in order to protect himself, he planned to use commercial interests to unite a group of powerful people around him. However, with the growth of strength, his ambition is getting bigger and bigger, and he is no longer satisfied with this kind of self-preservation, but wants to use his identity as a descendant to completely rewrite the history of the Tang Dynasty and find a new path for the entire nation, although he doesn't know if this path is always right? But at least for now, it's right.
Li Su knows very well what he wants, and industry and commerce are one of the important tools he wants to achieve his goals, so although Li Su has always strongly supported the development of industry and commerce, in fact, what he thinks about is only to regard it as a tool that can be used, and he never thought that this tool is not completely in his control, and sometimes it may even affect himself in turn.
Seeing the hesitation on Li Su's face, Wang An immediately understood, and reminded again: "Your Highness, with the development of industry and commerce, the emerging industrial and commercial owners will inevitably gain a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and their status will be improved accordingly, I know that this is also the result that Your Highness has been pursuing, but have you ever thought about it, Your Highness, with the improvement of the status of these industrial and commercial owners, what are they most worried about?" ”
When Li Su heard this, he probably guessed what Wang An wanted to say, but he smiled and said: "Hehe, Mr. Wang wants to say that those industrial and commercial owners are worried that their hard-won status will not be guaranteed, so they will take some measures to maintain their status and influence?" ”
"Your Highness is really smart, and when the industrial and commercial owners have a strong influence, they will inevitably be interested in the court. And the most powerful one above the court. Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor who is sitting on the throne, it just so happens that His Royal Highness is a strong contender for the throne, because these industrial and commercial owners will definitely try their best to push His Royal Highness to the throne, but for His Majesty's temperament, I think Your Highness knows better than the old man! Wang soothed his beard and said with a straight face.
Li Su nodded after hearing this, Li Shimin experienced the struggle for the throne, and in the end even killed his brother in order to sit on the throne. Therefore, the most disgusting thing is that his son competes for the throne, plus his personality is very domineering, you must take what you give you, and you can't reach out to grab what you don't want to give you, even if it is his favorite son. This is a good example of Li Tai in history, Li Shimin can be said to be extremely fond of him, but it is because Li Tai shows unusual enthusiasm for the throne. Do everything you can to get yourself a chance. aroused Li Shimin's disgust, and as a result, the throne fell into the hands of Li Zhi, who had always been the most obedient.
Li Su is very clear about this, but when industry and commerce develop, in order to seek sustainable development, the industrial and commercial class will definitely try their best to push themselves to the throne. In this way, Li Shimin's taboo was committed. Although Li Su had an agreement with Li Shimin at the beginning, in the battle for the throne, anything could happen, and it was likely to arouse Li Shimin's suspicion at that time.
It seems that his plan must be hurried, otherwise he will really be involved in the troubled waters of the battle for the throne, which will be really bad. Thinking of this, Li Su finally made up his mind. After taking care of the affairs of Chang'an, the foundation he has laid should be enough, and then he can implement the later plan he set at the beginning, and at the same time, with this plan, he can also temporarily get out of the big vortex of the battle for the throne.
Thinking of this, Li Su smiled at Wang An and said: "Thank you Mr. Wang for the reminder, but for the matter of the throne, I have other plans, and I will definitely not write all my ambitions on my face like my fourth brother, let alone be messed up by others.!" ”
Although Li Su did not answer positively, Wang An looked at him with confidence, and finally put his mind at ease, since he had decided to take refuge in Li Su, he naturally made a comprehensive analysis and understanding of Li Su's character, knowing that the other party was a person who knew the severity, and would never guarantee it indiscriminately in this kind of major event.
After saying this, while Wang Guo and they have not returned, the two turned the topic to the development of industry and commerce, although Wang An has been staying in Taiyuan, but he has heard some information on weekdays, as well as the information that Wang Guo often brings, the general trend of the world is analyzed very thoroughly.
For example, when it came to the suppression of industry and commerce, he pointed out to the point that this was a battle between the industrial and commercial owners who sucked the blood and sweat of the workers and the big landlords who squeezed the flesh and blood of the peasant households. In addition, he also pointed out that this struggle could not be resolved in a short period of time, and that the suppression of industry and commerce by the five surnames and seven hopes was only a prelude to the beginning of this battle, although he, like Li Su, believed that industry and commerce would definitely win in the end, but it was simply a fool's dream to uproot the deep-rooted landlord class with only one victory.
For Wang An's views, Li Su raised his hands and feet in agreement, and a person who has such attainments in industry and commerce is indeed very much in line with his appetite, and the novel business models he proposed have also made Wang An itch, the more the two chat, the more speculative they become, and they both have a feeling of hating each other.
When Mrs. Wang came back with Wang Guo and Cui Yu, seeing that the two were chatting so lively, they all looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't dare to disturb them, and the three of them all went into the kitchen to prepare, and when Li Su and Wang An were lured by the fragrance of the food, they felt unbearable hunger in their stomachs, and then they also found that the sky had completely darkened, the moon had risen to the treetops, and the big table next to it was already full of meals prepared by Mrs. Wang, and lanterns had been lit around, and the two of them only cared about chatting, I didn't even notice the changes around me.
Seeing this, the two laughed relatively loudly, and then Wang An said: "Your Highness, the knowledge of industry and commerce is as vast as the sea, and it is not something that can be discussed clearly in a while, let's fill our stomachs first!" ”
"Haha~, just what I want, I just want to taste Mrs. Wang's craftsmanship!" Li Su clutched his stomach and laughed, Zhongqian didn't eat well, and now he is really hungry.
As soon as Wang An heard this, he immediately beckoned Li Yu to sit down and eat, Wang Guo and Cui Yu accompanied each other, originally Mrs. Wang, as a female dependent, could not eat at the same table with them, but Li Su didn't care, and insisted that Mrs. Wang also sit and eat together, on the grounds that he and Wang Guo are usually brothers, and his mother is his elder.
Mrs. Wang also refuted Li Su's crooked reasoning, and Wang An usually respects his wife very much, and he is very happy to see Li Su respecting his wife so much, and he doesn't care about any reason at the moment, and then his wife sits beside him and personally serves her a bowl of rice. Looking at this long-suffering couple, Li Su also sighed in his heart, later generations often say that husband and wife are the same forest birds, and they fly separately when disaster comes, but the couple in front of them tells themselves with practical actions that there is still a feeling in this world, her name is Xiang Wei Yimo!
After eating, he officially expressed his intention to Wang An to solicit, and promised to take the position of Wang Fu, the so-called Wang Fu, as the name suggests, is the prince's teacher, originally as long as the prince opened the mansion, he would be appointed by Li Shimin A teacher, responsible for teaching the prince, pointing out the gains and losses, can be said to be a very important position, but Li Su was too stubborn back then, no one wanted to be his teacher, so the position of Wang Fu has been vacant, and later Li Su became famous, although many people were moved, But he was afraid that he would not be able to teach this wise prince, so until now, there has been no prince in Li Su's palace.
Wang Fu's grade is extremely high, he is a high-ranking official from the third grade, wearing a purple robe, it can be said that the entire palace except for Li Su and Wen Xin, Wang Fu's grade is the highest, although the power is not as big as the long history, but the management is extremely wide, as long as it is not pleasing to the eye, he has the right to intervene, it can be said that it is one of the most important positions in the entire palace. In addition, because he shoulders the heavy responsibility of teaching the prince, the position of Wang Fu is to be appointed by Li Shimin himself, and Li Su has no right to appoint it, but with the favor he is receiving now, as long as he does his best, it is very simple to let Wang An sit in the position of Wang Fu.
Hearing that Li Su actually let himself serve as the prince, Wang An, who has always been very indifferent, couldn't help but be a little excited, not because of the position of the prince, but from this incident, he saw that Li Su valued himself, and this kind of attention was actually an affirmation of what he had learned in his life.
Thinking that he Wang An has been stumbling for half his life, he has endured the white eyes and ridicule of others, and even his father has cut off relations with him, and his son does not dare to recognize him, if he hadn't had a good wife by his side all the time, it is estimated that he would have died a long time ago. But I didn't expect that I was about to reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but I met a master, not only appreciated his talent, but also promised him in a heavy position, which for him, not only means to change his fate, but also means that he Wang An will welcome a new life with a new attitude, so that everyone in the world knows that Taiyuan Wang An is a rare wise man in the world!
Thinking of this, Wang An's heart suddenly swelled with a sense of pride, and at the same time, he admired Li Su, but also had an inexpressible gratitude, after thanking Li Su, he had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what difficulties he encountered, he must also show what he has learned and help this young man complete the great cause in his heart!
At the same time that Li Su was recruiting Wang An, there was another group of people in Taiyuan City, who were also secretly discussing the matter, but unlike Li Su's happiness, when these people were talking, the whole audience was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.
