Li Su glanced at Hu Ji and said to her, "You go out first!" ”
After all, what I discussed with Shangguan Yi and others just now is the people's livelihood issues in Yizhou, these problems are all open to the people, and there is no confidentiality at all, but you have to be careful when discussing the matter of the caravan guard, after all, this era is very sensitive to the affairs of the army, and if you are not careful, you will be falsely accused of rebellion.
Several people also felt the importance of this matter, and Kim Daqian got up and followed, letting the two guards at the door close the door.
"There are many places that the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has gone to now, and there will be more places to go in the future, but the more places you go, the more dangers you will face, so we have to form an escort team in the name of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce!" Li Su said slowly.
Tong Nian nodded in agreement, "The latest Western Regions are very chaotic, it is said that the Western Turks have civil strife, and some Turks often attack caravans, although the team of our Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has not been attacked, but it is time to take precautions."
Qin Huaiyu said: "Then does Your Highness want me to recruit some other people for training in addition to the government soldiers?" ”
"That's right, there aren't many things to do in Zhechong Mansion here, you just have to worry about the caravan guards, as for recruiting people, you don't have to worry about recruiting people, Tong Nian is in charge of this matter, and recruiting people with your identity is too sensitive."
Shangguan Yi frowned: "Your Highness, it's not appropriate to do this, after all, you are now wearing the hat of rebellion, so you recruit troops like this......" Shangguan Yi didn't dare to continue.
"We are not afraid of shadows, we are not recruiting troops to rebel, we are just caravan guards, and we have to recruit guards with great fanfare, and we have to advertise in the Tang Dynasty Business Daily so that the courtiers can see it, and understand what else they have to say about the affairs of the world!" Li said.
Wang Yinlong said: "His Royal Highness's words are reasonable, His Majesty is most afraid of what he doesn't know, he won't speculate if he knows everything, if His Majesty doesn't agree, he will naturally inform His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" ”
Everyone nodded, and Li Su said again: "Father and Emperor should agree, Tong Nian, you tell them how much business tax the Tang Chamber of Commerce has paid to the imperial court now!" ”
Tong Nian said with a smile: "So far, it's more than 300,000 yuan!" ”
"The total tax of Datang a year is only millions of yuan, with the shrewdness of the father, the more money the Tang Dynasty makes, the more beneficial it is for him, and when the time comes, I will write a book about the importance of business to a country, and this matter will not be far from ten!" Li Su said with a deep groan.
Qin Huaiyu said excitedly: "Ten soldiers are also belts, and a thousand soldiers are also belts, of course, the more the better!" ”
Several things were all discussed, and several people began to eat and drink openly, until the willows on the moon, several people returned separately, and when leaving, Li Su and Wei shopkeepers said a few words, Wei shopkeepers kept nodding, and then called Hu Ji and asked her to send Qin Huaiyu back, and later, the two will have a very fragrant story.
got the assigned task, several people had their heads and went to their own jobs, and Li Su also began to look for information to prepare to write an article stating business, in which, he wrote the concept of colonization into it, and explained what colonization is, what kind of benefits colonization will bring to Datang, and he showed that he is willing to be the vanguard of Datang, overseas colonization for Datang, without spending a penny on the treasury, but also to bring huge wealth to Datang, in order to write this article, Li Su spent a week to consult the information, extremely tempting. Confused, the words also vaguely revealed that he had no intention of taking the throne, and was only interested in enriching the Tang Dynasty, anyway, it didn't cost money to brag.
After completing this article, which was called a masterpiece by later generations, Li Su sent someone to send it to Chang'an urgently, after all, time is money.
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin was carefully looking at Li Suyang's 10,000-character article, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "This sixth man really doesn't change his true colors, and his mind is full of business things!" ”
Putting down the article, Li Shimin thought quietly, many of the new concepts in this article were something he had never heard of, but he understood that the benefits of these things to Datang were obvious.
"Overseas colonization, the sun never sets on the empire." Li Shimin read these two words, and suddenly his heart was full of pride, he was an ambitious emperor, Li Su's words really hit a place in his heart, he slapped the table and stood up, and said to Wang Zheng who was standing aside, "Put this article on the Shengtang Business Daily, and this advertisement for recruiting guards is also with you!" ”
After Li Su left, the affairs of the Tang Dynasty Business Daily were handed over to Wang Zheng, and he was responsible for taking the first draft to Li Shimin every few days.
Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that Li Shimin agreed with Li Su's idea, and he was happy as a member of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce.
Back to the newspaper office, Wang Zheng handed over the newspaper to the printing press, let the printing house print overnight, early the next morning, the families of various officials in Chang'an received the newspaper, now these officials have read the newspaper as a habit, early in the morning let the family take the newspaper, read the newspaper before breakfast.
However, when they opened the newspaper today, it was a little different from the past, and after a closer look, they found that an article signed by Li Su under the article occupied two whole pages, and the title of the article was "Business Theory."
Seeing this article, the ministers knew in their hearts that there would probably be one more thing to discuss in the early court today.
Taiji Palace, Li Shimin arrived more than ten minutes earlier than usual, his expression was a little excited, the courtiers below were all good at observing words and feelings, and they understood that Li Su's article must be deeply Li Shimin's heart, and they were thinking about how to answer later.
When the time of the early dynasty came, all the ministers arrived, and Li Ke stood up first: "Father, the sons and daughters read Liulang's "Business Theory" this morning, and were deeply impressed by the ideas in the article. ”
"The minister also thinks that the six princes are reasonable, each commodity is levied different taxes according to its profits, the amount of taxes is uniformly formulated, and the taxes levied on farmers are reduced, but the six princes also pointed out that reducing the taxes on farmers cannot be implemented yet, because the Tang Dynasty is now mainly collecting taxes on farmers, so now we should encourage commercial exhibitions, and when the commercial tax passes the agricultural tax, then reduce the taxes on farmers!" Xiao Yu said.
“……”
Several ministers came out in a row, and they all agreed with Li Su's article, after all, this matter is not harmful to Datang Baili, and at this time it is said that if you stand up and accuse, it is intentional.
Li Tai stood below and looked at these ministers who spoke, there were Li Ke's people, and there were also neutral ministers, I have to say that he also very much agreed with Li Ke's thoughts, but the advertising in the back made him a little suspicious.
"Father! Erchen also agreed with Liulang's idea that agriculture is the foundation of the country, and if business is reasonably carried out without shaking the country's foundation, it will also be extremely beneficial to the restoration of the people's livelihood in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian also stood up and echoed at this time.
Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian, these days Li Chengqian has been working hard to improve relations with Li Ke, and he is also kind to him, but the more Li Chengqian is like this, the more uneasy Li Tai is in his heart.
Li Shimin nodded, everyone saw the changes in Li Chengqian, filial piety and respect for elders, love for brothers, and study diligently, as if he had changed a person, and really had the appearance of a prince, Li Shimin didn't say it, but he was more and more satisfied in his heart.
Almost everyone in the early dynasty praised Li Su's article, and was about to order the study of commercial taxation according to the method in Li Su's article, at this time, Li Tai walked out: "Father, the son has no opinion on Liulang's commercial law, but my father can see the advertisement behind!" ”
"I saw it, Li Su recruited caravan guards to protect the caravan's safety, is there a problem with this?" Li Shimin said.
Li Tai continued: "Father, it has not yet been clarified whether Li Su is involved in rebellion, but now he is openly recruiting troops, I am afraid that it will make the world criticize. ”
"Shiro's words are not right, this caravan guard and recruiting troops and horses can not be compared, which merchant in Chang'an City does not have a private guard, now the business of the Tang Chamber of Commerce is west to Persia, south to Lingnan Road, in the future, according to Liulang, you will have to cross the ocean to a country thousands of miles away, there is no guard, how to ensure the safety of the caravan, how to do business without security, please father Mingjian!" Li Ke said.
"Ke'er is reasonable, Su'er has been wronged in vain, and was belittled in Yizhou, and now he is thinking about the Tang Dynasty, if this court still makes things difficult for him in every way, then how chilling he should be, needless to say, there is no fuss about this caravan guard, if he really dares to rebel, I personally raise troops to destroy him, this will be fine!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, he already felt guilty about Li Su, and in this matter, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation for him.
"Your Majesty ......" Li Shimin said everything to this extent, what else can the ministers say.
Li Tai also retreated when he heard this, and did not mention the matter again, he knew that it was time to stop, and Li Tai's article also showed a kind of disinterest in the court, and only wanted to carry out the so-called colonial cause.
