"Huh?" The queen's expression paused for a moment, and then she looked at Li Chengqian with interest.

"It's just selling flower water, don't I want to make a flower water party, is the queen mother interested in joining in?" Li Chengqian said.

The queen chuckled, and then ignored Li Chengqian.

"Uh, what does that mean, Queen Mother?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.

The queen wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said to Li Chengqian: "You kid, if you want to play by yourself, then go play by yourself." Now I want to pull the queen mother, what a fool! ”

Looking at the queen's disdainful attitude towards commercial things, Li Chengqian asked strangely: "Why is this nonsense, this is to make money." Are you not happy about making money? ”

"Your father has always advocated people-oriented, how can your mother take the lead in business? It's a business that even those little nobles don't bother to do, let alone the queen mother. The queen smiled and said, "You want to mess around, I let you go, you think I support business?" ”

Li Chengqian scratched his chin and said, "Queen Mother, why do I think things are very wrong?" ”

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Well, look, is my father short of money?" Li Chengqian snapped his fingers and said to her: "The money in our harem is maintained by my father's inner treasury. The money of the state is completely separate from our own money. So we don't have any money except the money that the state pulls out. And the country's money is very small, and the father and emperor will shrink when they use the money, and even have no money to use. Just like the previous times, you still need to follow me and do everything with the country's money to do your own business! ”

When the queen heard these words, a look of contemplation appeared on her face.

Li Chengqian continued: "It's all about money. ”

He spread his hands and said: "As an emperor, but you can't even do something and spend some money, it's a lot of things!" ”

As soon as the queen heard that Li Chengqian's big mouth was not covered, she reached out and patted his head.

Li Chengqian screamed, hurriedly stopped his emotion, raised his hand, and begged the queen for mercy.

Seeing that the queen didn't kill again, he continued: "To put it simply, our family has no money, but the queen mother didn't think about making money, so you only lived a life without money. Isn't that a contradiction? ”

The queen thought quietly for a while, then raised her head and asked, "What you said is that if you have no money, you will find a way to get money, but how can you make this unkind and unjust money?" ”

"When did money become unkind?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.

The queen showed an educational attitude and said: "Merchants do not produce, but also sell other people's things to earn the difference, and collect ill-gotten wealth for their own use, this is where everyone hates merchants." There are even more evildoers, and business also tempts others to put down their hoes, not to produce, and then to sell things, if everyone goes to be a merchant, who will plant the fields under the world? If there is no one to farm, won't the people in the world have nothing to eat? ”

Li Chengqian thought about it, and then counter-educated: "There is a story of money, what is the use of money?" Money can't be eaten as food, can't be eaten as meat, can't be used as a house to live in, is that money useless and meaningless? No. ”

He picked up a cup on the table and said, "For example, this cup is consistent money, and this consistent money is in the hands of a peasant, and he needs a hoe, so he finds a blacksmith and gives him consistent money, and asks him to help him make a hoe." The blacksmith needed iron ore to make iron, so he found an iron ore merchant and bought iron to make hoes, which has always been in the hands of iron ore merchants again. The iron ore merchant needed someone to help him transport the iron ore out of the mountains, so he hired workers, and the money went to the workers. The workers wanted to buy clothes for their wives, so they gave the money they earned to the owner of the garment shop, and the owner of the garment shop needed to eat, so he bought rice from the peasants, and the money went back to the family. ”

Li Chengqian said as he moved the cup on the table, and at this time the cup was placed in his original position.

He said: "It is still the same money, and a lot of this money has returned to the farmers. But in the process, how much fruit, the peasants got hoes, the blacksmiths got a hoe to beat the iron, the iron ore merchants transported out the iron ore that was placed in the mountains and had no effect, and the workers bought clothes for their families, the owners of the garment shops bought rice to eat without starvation, and the peasants sold their own rice that they could not finish eating and might become moldy if they put it a little more! That's where money comes in! ”

The queen blinked, looked at Li Chengqian, thoughtful.

Li Chengqian said: "Queen Mother, you have thought of it, this money is like a thread, tying up the needs of all kinds of people. The peasants have endless rice for farming, the iron beaten by the blacksmith cannot be used by themselves, the iron ore of the iron ore of the iron ore of the iron of the iron of the blacksmith and the iron of the iron of the iron ore If there is no money, then the world is not in chaos, is it? ”

He continued: "Queen Mother, you said that these merchants are profiteers, but everyone in this is not traded through money, every one of them is a businessman, right, but do you think they are doing something wrong? ”

"You're right, but there are still a lot of businessmen who do those things that hurt the heavens and reason!" The queen retorted.

"Businessmen are mercenary, this is true, otherwise where would they get the motivation to do business?" Li Chengqian said, "But you can't beat everyone to death with a stick, people who do too much can be restrained and punished by issuing laws, and then make business more standardized, so that businessmen can do business honestly and make their share of money." ”

The queen's phoenix eyes glanced behind Li Chengqian, then quickly retracted them, and said to Li Chengqian: "Listening to you like this, it seems to make sense." ”

"It's not that it seems to make sense, but that's what it is. This business should be intervened by the state, managed by law, and let it develop more and more after standardization. When business develops, the country can become rich and strong! Speaking of this, Li Chengqian looked at the queen's eyes a little angrily, and said, "Actually, this matter is wrong from the queen mother, you will only be full of disgust for those businessmen, and then because of disgust, you will only condemn them morally, and because of disgust, you will ignore them, so those businessmen who hurt nature and reason are even more lawless, anyway, they have done bad things, and there is no law to treat them!" ”

"Then you mean that if the country is rich and strong, you must let the people of the world do business, and if you want the people of the world to do business, you must let your mother follow you to sell flower water?" Lao Li's voice sounded from behind Li Chengqian.
