"Brainstorming," Emperor Mingzong said lightly, "You used to be a cold window for ten years, you have outstanding knowledge, and you have abandoned literature and business, so you have some ability." Lin Qian specially brought you back and entrusted you with an important task, so I want to hear your opinion. ”

Li Yan glanced at Lin Ruo, saw her nodded, and then saluted Emperor Mingzong: "The grass people obey the order." ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Yan quickly sorted out what Emperor Mingzong, the crown prince and Zhang Xu said in his heart, and quickly thought about the purpose of entering the palace today, and then spoke: "Emperor Qi, the grass people have just listened to Lord Zhang's detailed explanation, if it is from the perspective of a 'businessman', it is really a great move. However, from the perspective of the imperial court, the pros and cons are mixed, depending on how it is implemented. success, then the country and the people benefit; If you lose, you will hurt both the country and the people. The inheritance of 'Shang' in it is very important. The grass people dared to guess that the emperor was worried about how to choose the right candidate. ”

Emperor Mingzong raised his eyelids and asked calmly, "Do you have a good plan?" ”

"Brother Li......"

Li Yan was about to speak, but was intercepted by Lin Ruo's worried soft call.

"Minhui," Emperor Mingzong's majestic voice followed, "You just promised me, and you forgot it so quickly?" ”

Lin Ruo bit his lip and looked at the emperor in embarrassment.

The crown prince, Zhang Xu, and Li Yan were all slightly surprised, and they didn't know what promise Lin Ruo had promised.

"Li Yan, although you have no merit or fame, Master Chen has always appreciated you and often mentioned it in front of me. Reasoning, you shouldn't be talking about the government in vain, but Zhang Aiqing is reasonable about the Qingmiao Law, so I want to hear what advice you have about it based on what you have seen and felt in business for several years. If there is something to say, I will be rewarded; If you talk too much, I will absolve you of your innocence. Minhui, you should be relieved now, right? ”

Anyway, he watched her grow up, Emperor Mingzong could naturally guess what Lin Ruo was worried about, Lin Qian was riddled with illness, and brought Li Yan back, Lin Ruo, who knew about it, would subconsciously regard Li Yan's brother as a reliance, Emperor Mingzong understood this; But in the same way, he was also worried about whether Li Yan, who had no blood relationship or in-law relationship with the Lin family, would take advantage of this to take the Lin family into possession.

On the one hand, it was because of the guilt for Lin Yuan'er and Gu Manxi that made him want to take care of Lin Ruo; On the other hand, it was also a temptation to ask if Li Yan took over to assist the Lin family, whether he would leave such a great favor to his most trusted imperial merchant family.

Lin Ruo lowered his head and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, Li Yan, you can say it."

"The grass people thank the emperor for his grace." Li Yan saluted respectfully, and then said, "If you want to return to the emperor, if you want to make Qingmiao Fali benefit the country and the people, it is indeed very important to choose people, one is to choose officials, and the other is to choose businessmen. In the method of 'choosing officials', the grass people dare not say more, and they are unable to say more. But in the 'selection of business', the grass people have a little clumsy plan, and they have the courage to show themselves in front of the emperor and ask the emperor to judge. ”

"What's the plan?"

Mr. Zhang just mentioned that the merchants who lead the allocation of seedlings are, first, they can afford the total amount of seedlings in a state, a state or a county, that is, they have financial resources; Second, it is necessary to convince the government and the people that they should not take the opportunity to seek personal gains, that is, they must be honest. It is really difficult to select those who are of the highest quality in wealth and trust from many merchants in Donglu, but it is much easier if they have to abide by their integrity and serve the court under the premise of only considering 'wealth'. ”

Emperor Mingzong frowned slightly, and while thinking, he looked at Li Yan: "Go on." ”

"Yes." Li Yan bowed his head and continued, "Selecting wealthy businessmen with strong financial resources from among the thousands of merchants only needs to check the books of the household department that have registered the tax payment of each merchant over the years, and then they can be screened. Among them, the notorious ones are the first to be eliminated, which can eliminate the visible risks. As for how to select the right ones among the remaining wealthy merchants, and let them do things according to the rules and serve the court, in short, it is two words - 'profit-seeking'. ”

"Profit-seeking?"

"Exactly." Li Yan bowed his head and replied in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. The allocation of green seedlings, if you want to be as clear as water, grass people are brave, it is a fool's dream. However, it is feasible to make the merchants who dominate the BIBS model seek as little selfish as possible. "Li Yankou is like a river, and the scholarly atmosphere on his face makes people can't take their eyes off, "First, the imperial court first chooses a few states and counties to implement, as an example, local states and counties for their own political achievements, reputation, and in order to win the blue eyes of the imperial court, under the attention of the whole country, the officials who implement the Qingmiao Law and the merchants who allocate the Qingmiao funds will definitely seize the opportunity to make achievements, so as to prove that the Qingmiao Law does have the effect of 'the people do not add endowment and the country uses enough'. Second, it is difficult to ensure that the merchants who allocate the green seedlings are profitable and recognized by the imperial court - although it is also a loan, it has the recognition and protection of the imperial court, and there is a huge source of customers and stable huge profits, and it is difficult not to be tempted. Third, the selection of merchants needs to be high-profile and open, and the more powerful, gentry, and ordinary people to witness the better, so as to show the fairness of the selection, so that the unsuccessful merchants will keep an eye on the selected ones, forcing them to be cautious, fulfill their duties, and dare not make mistakes, so as to achieve multi-level supervision of officials, people, and business, and control the disadvantages of corruption to a minimum. The grass people are talking and talking, and they are not thinking about it for a while, and if there is anything wrong with it, they will ask the emperor to forgive their sins. ”

"Exemplary, profit-seeking, competitive ......"

Emperor Mingzong came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at Li Yan, chuckled, and did not comment, and then turned his gaze to the prince and Zhang Xu: "Prince, what do you think?" ”

Suddenly being named, the prince was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and even though he gritted his teeth in his heart, he still pretended to be cautious and replied in an ambiguous tone: "Father, the son thinks ...... Li Yan's proposal is too reckless and bold, and it needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Although Li Yan's proposal is good, if he really does this, the oil and water he can fish out will be insignificant!

"What does Zhang Aiqing think?"

Zhang Xu bowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen feels that Li Gongzi's proposal is bold, but it is effective. However, there are some details that still need to be considered. ”

"It's quite bold indeed," Emperor Mingzong sneered, "However, I think that Li Yan has a sentence that gets to the point: the supervision of officials, people, and businessmen. Prince......"

"Erchen is here!"

"Shangyu's disaster relief, you have done a really good job. I should reward you, but—" Emperor Mingzong put a meaningful end in his words, "I also plan to reward King Ye, do you know why?" ”

The prince "chuckled" in his heart, his legs were weak for a while, and he almost knelt on the ground.

There are some words that don't have to be said too clearly, but those who should know the reason, as long as they mention it a little, they will know it - Shangyu disaster relief, the reason why the prince performed well was because there were countless pairs of eyes staring inside and outside the court, and King Ye was the one who stared the most.

"Father is wise and discerning! Erchen ...... Erchen ......"
