Zhang Wenyi didn't expect to send Li Zhi away in the morning, and was summoned by Li Shimin before he finished lunch.

After Zhang Wenyi walked into the imperial study, Li Shimin asked straightforwardly: "How did Princess Jin suddenly think about business?" ”

Regarding Li Shimin's intention to summon him, Zhang Wenyi made several assumptions, and business was one of them. It's just that Li Shimin's opening remarks were really unexpected by Zhang Wenyi.

Since he asked very directly, Zhang Wenyi naturally had to answer truthfully: "I was very happy to see my father and mother yesterday, but I thought of my own family when I saw their sons." Now in winter, in order to give his son and sister some charcoal, he can only warm the house before going to bed. Erchen's father is just a businessman in Chuzhou, and if his mother's property is put in front of the Tang Dynasty, it is just a drop in the penny, and even so, the family will not need to privately allocate it for this mere charcoal fire. Erchen doesn't want much, and he doesn't want much luxury life, as long as the palace is no longer entangled in the charcoal fire. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Your requirements are not high, but the gold and silver I gave you alone can't be used up in this lifetime, why do you have to do business by yourself?" ”

Zhang Wenyi said: "The father's gift is indeed enough for the sons and daughters to be used for a lifetime, but the sons will still have children, and the Tang Dynasty will not be only in the life of the sons." As the saying goes: sit and eat empty, no matter how much your father gives, it will always be used up one day. If the sons and daughters take it for business, they can continue to bless their descendants. ”

Li Shimin said again: "If the wealth of the Tang Dynasty is the only one, it can be afforded, but do you know the phrase 'Yin Jian is not far away, in the world after Xia'?" ”

Zhang Wenyi pursed her lips secretly, and secretly complained in her heart: "Isn't it the law of ivory chopsticks, and it's not some advanced knowledge." ”

After not seeing Zhang Wenyi answer for a long time, Li Shimin thought: "Sure enough, he was instigated by his family!" He sneered at the moment: "How do you not know the sentence 'Yin Jian is not far away, in the world after Xia'?" Do I want to explain it to you? ”

Zhang Wenyi whispered softly and said, "Erchen is afraid that his inconsiderate words will anger His Majesty, so he hesitated for a long time and did not dare to answer. ”

How could Li Shimin, who intrigued with the ministers every day and quoted scriptures, not hear the meaning of Zhang Wenyi's words-I'm afraid that you won't be able to say it when the time comes, and I will be annoyed and angry.

Li Shimin laughed instead of anger when he heard it, he felt that this daughter-in-law was getting more and more interesting, wasn't she instigated by the family?

"Well, in that case, I will forgive you for being innocent!"

Zhang Wenyi said first: "Thank you, Father." Then he said: "Erchen thinks that some of the allusions and warnings can be passed down through the ages, and some are limited to the time. Therefore, there is 'learning without thinking is reckless, thinking without learning is doomed', which is that in many cases, specific problems still have to be analyzed in detail. ”

Aha, the little girl actually dropped her bookbag in front of him and bullied him for being the emperor immediately?! However, her sentence seems to be meaningful, and it is difficult to refute between vagueness, and it is also easy to quibble. Let her finish her sentence first.

Thinking so, Li Shimin asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Zhang Wenyi replied unhurriedly: "Maybe a pair of ivory chopsticks in the Yin Shang period would mislead the country, but now it will definitely not." ”

Li Shimin smiled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Wenyi said: "Take the current wealthy families as an example, why don't they use ivory chopsticks, they are arrogant and lascivious, I am afraid that they will not be worse than what Jizi described, why have they continued for so many years without decay?" If even they had not decayed, then the present country would certainly not have decayed because of it. Or that the decay of the state is not caused by frugality. ”

Now Li Shimin can be sure that doing business is Zhang Wenyi's own idea, because he will never have such a profound idea at the instigation of others.

But Li Shimin still wanted to see the thoughts of this Jin princess, and he smiled: "You are a woman who knows how much money a country needs to maintain, if you don't know how to be thrifty, you are afraid that it will be too late to regret it." ”

Zhang Wenyi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty really doesn't know what the ministers said, but the ministers know that the ministers are also puzzled, why does the royal family have to be thrifty and trembling, while those court officials and wealthy families don't need to scruples?" ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You don't know where the country's taxes come from, let alone where these taxes are used. How can you experience the difficulty of governing the country! ”

Zhang Wenyi said: "Erchen wants to ask Your Majesty, is this army of the Tang Dynasty or the army of the royal family?" Erchen also wants to ask, is this Tang land our royal or someone else's? ”

Li Shimin smiled and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Zhang Wenyi said: "If you interpret it according to 'the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king': the royal is the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is the royal family." Then the land in this world is our royal land, and what others have is not the ownership of the land but the right to use. I don't know if Erchen understands it? ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly gasped, and he suddenly felt that Zhang Wenyi's statement seemed to clear the fog in front of him.

"Since ancient times, land has been privately owned, how can it be all royal land!" Li Shimin told the truth, it was not that he was unwilling to defend, but since Zhang Wenyi said this, did she have a new and strange view to solve this dilemma?

The main reason for the change of dynasties in ancient feudal society from the perspective of later generations was that there was a large amount of land, which caused a sharp decline in national fiscal revenue and led to national financial difficulties.

When encountering natural disasters or foreign invasions, heavy taxes often provoke civil revolts, which eventually lead to the collapse of the old dynasty and the birth of a new dynasty.

The most direct cause of the ultimate evil consequences of land annexation is private ownership of land.

Now that Li Shimin has brought it up, Zhang Wenyi is not surprised, she has her own opinion on this: "In this case, the royal family is just the biggest wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty is just the biggest bureaucrat in the Tang Dynasty."

If Datang's army is a royal army, then this army only needs to defend the royal land population, and we can't control other people's land and population, otherwise they will spend their own money to raise the army, or everyone will pay for it together.

If the army is the army of the Tang Dynasty and the land is the land of the Tang Dynasty, then His Majesty is nothing but the biggest bureaucrat in the Tang Dynasty, and the royal family is nothing but the biggest wealthy family. Then let's also take the money, and handle the general affairs like those bureaucratic families.

Don't leave us alone with an empty phrase like now, everything is royal. But how much land do we have royalty? How could those officials be the masters of the royal buying and selling of land privately?

Make so many rules, say that there is no trivial matter in heaven, and in the end, it is not the wool that comes out of the sheep? Either the entire Tang Dynasty is royal, and the land cannot be privately owned. Either the land is privately owned, and there is nothing to say that the entire Tang Dynasty is royal. Like them, we provide for our own families and live our own lives. If you have money, you can marry a few more little wives, and if you don't have money, you can marry a few little wives. Don't spend your own money and ask others to set the rules! ”

Zhang Wenyi's long remarks are really rough. The last sentence "If you have money, you can marry a few more little wives, and if you don't have money, you can marry a few little wives." "Li Shimin was amused.

I thought: This little girl has a lot of thoughts, and she speaks in a high-sounding manner, but she is afraid that she is the same vinegar jar as the wife of the Fang Xiangjia.

Having said that, it's so easy to run a country! It is impossible to raise the army at your own expense. If that's the case, how different is it from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!

However, as the little girl said, if the land is privately owned, then the royal family is just a big wrongdoer. However, once the land is declared nationalized, private individuals only have the right to use it. This must have touched the interests of the civil and military officials and the family of the gate lords, and it was also expected that the turbulence of the dynasty would lead to the collapse of the dynasty in the end.

It's hard to find a way to do this right now. It's just that this child's heart is biased towards the royal family, and his heart can be used.

Zhang Wenyi saw that Li Shimin was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, as the saying goes, "too much is wrong". I don't know if I will anger the emperor, she can't help herself.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Wenyi's legs were numb from kneeling, and Li Shimin said: "What do you know about a child!" Well, then, since I have given you my possessions, they are your own. You can use it however you want, and I will not interfere. ”

With Li Shimin's consent, Zhang Wenyi almost jumped up happily. She said, "Thank you, Father." ”

Li Shimin said: "There is only one thing, how you Zhuangzi and shop operators should be reported to me at any time. ”

This requirement is not too high, Zhang Wenyi thought: If it is necessary, it is not impossible to do the accounting. It suddenly occurred to me that if there was one thing that was not solved, it would be difficult for her to realize the plan of the trader.

Zhang Wenyi just stood up at Li Shimin's signal, and then knelt down and said, "Father, the son has another request, I hope my father will agree." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and immediately thought of Zhang Wenyi's request, he said: "But what about going out of the palace and walking around?" ”

Zhang Wenyi admires Li Shimin's IQ very much, and he can be regarded as a god.

She replied, "Yes." ”

Li Shimin felt a headache about this question, and then thought about it and had an idea, he said: "You are the identity of the princess, whether you are doing business or going out of the palace at will, it is beyond the rules, it is no longer appropriate to let you do business, I can't promise you this matter of leaving the palace." However, I can let the King of Jin do business with you, so that you can receive it from afar in the palace and rest assured. ”

Li Shimin's move has another profound meaning. The former crown prince Li Chengqian and the second son Li Tai have become members of the Guanlong aristocracy, although the two of them belong to two different factions of the Guanlong aristocracy, but no matter who is in power, it is bound to make the Guanlong nobles rise again.

The Yang clan of the Sui Dynasty and their Li clan were both born in the Guanlong aristocracy, but this group was very powerful and posed a great threat to the imperial power, and the fall of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was inseparable from his suppression of the Guanlong nobles.

After the war in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, Guanlong's power was much worse than before. But they are certainly not willing to be suppressed, and now they are trying to regain the glory of the past through the ascension of Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

Li Tai was purely deliberately favored by Li Shimin, and his purpose was to induce Li Chengqian to make mistakes, so as to make a good excuse to replace the crown prince, so that Li Zhi, who had not yet been taken by the Guanlong forces, would be in power.
