Everyone looked strange, and looked at the young man in unison, and in the wide-open pupils, in addition to admiration, there was more fear!

"Why? Didn't you bring these to the palace just to sell them? Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was a little embarrassed, "What does it matter if I buy them all?" It's not like I won't give you money anyway! ”

"Your Majesty, what you said is not quite right!" Li Zhizhi smiled and shook his head, "If it's just for business, why should I get up so early?" And he went to the palace to do business, and just now it caused a misunderstanding! ”

"So, what other intentions do you have?" Li Shimin's expression was tense, and a cold breath appeared between his eyebrows, "Can you tell me about it?" ”

"Of course you can, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how dare I, as a small people, deceive you? Isn't this the crime of deceit? Li Ce's face was calm, "Your Majesty, the reason why I spared no effort to come to the palace is not for the dozen taels of silver, but to study and seek knowledge!" ”

"Learning? Knowledge? Li Shimin's tense brows turned into doubts, "Can you elaborate?" I don't understand, how can you come to the palace to sell things, how can you learn and learn? ”

"Your Majesty, you are right, now that the court is above the court, there are the world's top civil and military talents, and if you can communicate with them, isn't that just learning?" Li Ce smiled all over his face, "Their profound knowledge can not only give us a long insight, but also make us pause!" ”

"Oh? And this kind of thing? Li Shimin frowned slightly, "Then you came to the palace to sell things, in fact, to deal with the ministers?" ”

"No, that's not the case! The main thing is to make money! Li Ce had a bright smile on his face, "Your Majesty, you know, I'm not very interested in the affairs of the court, I just want to make more rich people and let them spend with me, only in this way can I make more money!" ”

Hearing Li Ce's words, Li Shimin's tight brows also showed a flat smile!

If someone else said this, Li Shimin would never believe it, but if this kind of words came out of Li Ce's mouth, Li Shimin believed it very much!

It's not that Li Shimin treats him differently, but Li Shimin is very familiar with the young man in front of him, and he also thinks of the words of the eldest grandson Wujian the day before yesterday!

Since Li Ce likes money, let's start from the aspect of money, control Li Ce little by little, so that he can use it for himself!

And this process is bound to be long, it cannot be achieved overnight, if you are in too much of a hurry, I am afraid it will only backfire!

"Oh? Let the ministers go to you to spend? Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled appreciatively, "Then your actions are actually to increase the influence of your Drunken Immortal Building?" ”

"How can the Drunken Immortal Building have any influence! Even if there is any influence, it is only obtained by the grace of Your Majesty! Although Li Ce had a bright smile on his face, he had been guarding against the man in front of him in his heart, "Your Majesty, it should be said that under the leadership of Your Majesty, your Majesty, our Drunken Immortal Mansion has slowly grown, all in order to force other merchants to move closer to Drunken Immortal Tower, only when everyone changes together can we truly improve the average economic level of Datang!" ”

"Average? Economic level? Li Shimin looked bitter, "The meaning of average is that everyone shares it equally, right?" If this is the case, in fact, the average level of Datang is not bad, but the rich are too rich and the poor are too poor! And there's no way I've got a solution to it! ”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, although Li Ce had some words in his heart, he knew that those words could only be hidden in his heart!

If you say it now, it will not only offend many people, but also cause an even bigger sensation!

However, from Li Shimin's words, Li Ce understood another meaning!

What ordinary people hear may just be the emperor standing in front of everyone, wanting to change the difference between the rich and the poor!

But in Li Ce's eyes, he has a different meaning!

Because Li Ce knows that the 'poor' in Li Shimin's eyes refers to all the people of the Tang Dynasty, while the 'rich' refers to the 'Shi clan', or the most powerful 'five surnames and seven hopes' in the 'Shi clan'!

Li Shimin may want to follow the old path of Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty!

Yang Guang just wanted to weaken the power of the Shi clan, but in the end he failed!

Cause chaos in the world, and a swarm of males rise!

The Sui Dynasty, which was in full swing, also quickly fell lonely!

Although Li Shimin also knows the harm of the Shi clan, the Shi clan will only make the country more unequal and widen the gap between the rich and the poor, but with the current situation in Datang, it cannot support Li Shimin to make any unfavorable measures to the Shi clan!

Even if Li Ce knew his true thoughts through Li Shimin's words just now, Li Ce also thought that it was necessary to weaken the strength of the Shi clan!

It's not that Li Ce hates the rich, but that the harm of the Shi clan to the country is too great!

Because not all nobles have a good opinion of the country!

Although not every ordinary person has a good impression of the country, what the scholars can do is even more terrifying than ordinary people!

If you have to draw a boundary in society, the common people are divided into the first layer, and the scholars are the second layer!

And although the emperor is above the scholars, what is the probability that the people can see the emperor?

The people are more likely to accept the baptism and edification of the scholars!

Most of the information that ordinary people have about the country comes from the scholars!

Because they are close to the people, the scholars control the people, and because they need a lot of assets to become a scholar, there are not only people in the hands of the scholars, but also money!

What's even more terrifying now is not that anyone in the Shi clan is rich, but that they hug each other for warmth!

A scholar may only be able to set off a small ripple, but what about thousands of scholars?

Even if every scholar clan is a ripple, how big can so many ripples have on the Tang royal family?

Under their impact, will the Tang Dynasty follow the old path of the Sui Dynasty?

Quite possibly!

Money is the best way to manage others, and it is also the best way to make others obey you!

There is a saying in later generations that the biggest mistake of this world is not to develop gunpowder, but to develop the currency in circulation!

Because of the existence of circulating money, countless unimaginable things have been generated!

Every battle is not caused by the development of gunpowder, but because of interests!

In the face of circulating currency, there is no absolute justice, and there is no absolute evil!

Because the currency in circulation is far higher than justice and far higher than human nature in the hearts of all people!

And those scholars who huddle together to keep warm have huge wealth in their hands, and if their wealth is gathered, I am afraid that it will be much more than the treasury of the Tang Dynasty!

Therefore, although Li Ce understood the implication of Li Shimin's words, Li Ce would not immediately point it out, let alone suggest that Li Shimin immediately start it and weaken the Shi clan!
