Li Mao's words came out again, and Gao Lishi instantly fell on the ground in a panic and kowtowed, while Xiao Chong and Yu Wenrong also bowed their heads to the ground with red faces, trembling and not daring to say a word. Because at this time, out of the corner of their eyes, they had already seen the Black Guard soldiers who appeared on the eaves of the dormitories in various parts of the Daming Palace, not only did these people not only use bows and crossbows, but more than a dozen of them were also running straight to the location of Xingqing Palace.

And all of this seems to be Li Mao's hint that as long as there are still people who insist on going to Xingqing Palace to disturb them for a while, then it is entirely possible that what they will see after they go over is just a cold corpse of Li Longji. "Get up, Lin Fu just made all the concerns in his heart clear to me one by one, some of you have studied hard for ten years, and once you slowly climbed to today's status in high school, and some of you have inherited the business of Zuyin for several generations to have today's situation, I also understand that you hope that future generations of family relatives can continue to be rich and noble as always, and some of my actions have indeed moved the interests of the noble clan behind you, but this does not mean that I am the unreasonable person......"

After Li Mao finished speaking, he personally pulled Gao Lishi up from the ground, and after the old man sorted out his emotions and no longer looked at Xingqing Palace, he patted the old man's shoulder and continued to speak, "Don't worry, my father is unkind to me, but I can't be unjust to him!" As long as you don't bother him, then he will definitely live to the end of his life, and in addition, the affairs of the clan and the wealthy family should also be rectified, is this country within a country what is going on? Do the emperors of a country have to discuss things with them in the future, and besides, now you can open your eyes and see what the Qinghe Cui clan and the Fan Yang Lu clan have become arrogant, and they are all now blatantly supporting Li Heng to sing against me...... In the long run, you should also think about it, not that once the reform will not give you a way to live, but just change the way of life for the rich, why not force those poor people to a dead end? Did you plant so much land in your hands? ”

Li Mao looked at one of the next senior members for a while every time he said a word, until he finished looking at each other one by one, he shook his head and smiled, "You must be thinking about how to change a rich and noble method at the moment, right?" All of you are members of the imperial court, and the information you have come into contact with is much more comprehensive than the people below, and now the Tibetans, Turks, and the Silla Peninsula are all included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the territories drawn on the world map are endless! Why don't your eyes keep staring at the one-third of an acre of land in our Datang? Isn't it fragrant for him to have a lot of things? Is there not tens of millions of acres of fertile land there? Then there are the small countries of Persia in the past, Siam, and Dongying, which is across the sea from us...... And in the farther Tuao Island, can you clans be removed and developed? Is it fun to be a stereotype? Think about it, who doesn't want to do business with our Datang now, as soon as this silver ticket comes out, a small piece of paper can go to Persia to buy spices, go to Tianzhu to buy slaves, and go to Dongying to sell iron...... How can you just look out for a little profit in front of you and turn a blind eye to the great wealth? ”

Li Mao sat on the jade steps with his legs crossed, with a root in his mouth, and then said the idea in his heart, those who knew knew that he was planning the future with the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, and those who didn't know would definitely think that a robber leader was depicting a road map for robbery to the people with his hands low.

In fact, these dozens of ministers who sat on the ground and read poetry and books were also shocked and stunned by Li Mao's unbelievable thoughts, and several of them even opened their mouths wide for a long time. In the end, it was Li Linfu who squinted his little eyes and asked Li Mao first like a good student: "Sage! You...... Did you just mean that the land in our Datang country will be cultivated for the people first, and then the people's livelihood in the country will be appeased, and then the local merchants or clans will personally come forward to go overseas, or neighboring countries to seize the ...... Oh no! Did they buy their land with silver tickets, or did they own their own cities without the court interfering? ”

"Look at it, is our Li Xianggong's brain still spinning fast? Isn't that how those alien races in the steppe have robbed us for thousands of years? If it weren't for the strong victory of our Datang now, I don't know how many years of war the people on the border will be subjected to? Therefore, we must not fight in the backyard of our own house, and if we want to fight, we will go to other people's places to fight? Our state of Chinese etiquette naturally does not bully the weak with the strong, but the non-governmental business exchanges are just ordinary tight, and in order to protect the safety of the merchants, it is our duty to protect the Tang Dynasty soldiers with it? After I said this, did you understand......"

Li Mao asked with a smile on his face, not feeling shameless at all, but in addition to the embarrassed smiles of these ministers, they may also be really unable to pull down their faces to respond to what Li Mao said, although they appreciate Li Mao's idea very much in their hearts, but out of the self-esteem of Confucian students who read sage books, they are very afraid to disagree with Li Mao's approach, at least in their opinion, such a thing cannot be put on the table like today.

"Sage, you ...... What you said is reasonable, but the old minister thinks that it is necessary to be cautious about rashly entering the hinterland of another country to buy land for business, after all, this road is far away, and the customs and customs are different...... Lao Chen felt that it was better to have a collegial discussion with the Central Province before he could be more thoughtful...... "Okay! This matter will be left to you to discuss, just go back and get a charter out, remember that now their clans who move faster, that is to take the lead, although the world is very big, but there are only a few good places, you should pass the word, the contact should be contacted, this battle is really harmful to the country and the people if it has been fought for too long! Li Mao let out this last exclamation, and immediately got up and walked back to the imperial study without looking back.

So he left a cadre and the others stared at each other in a daze for a long time. "Li Xiang, what you said the sage just said, is it really feasible? The meaning of the sage seems to be that he hopes that after the clans hand over their own land, they will go outside and loot it on their own! But how can we, the people who go to the kingdom and read the books of the sages, do what we have done? And what is there to seize in the land of the barbarians! ”

"Old man Xiao, say that you are pedantic, you are really pedantic, then even if your Xiao family does the things of the sages, no matter how sages they are, they must have land to grow food and eat, besides, the whole world is not the king's land, we went to the barbarian land to educate them, where is there such a thing as you say......" "Yes, yes, the words of the sage do have some truth, if we only care about the small profits in front of us, then the land of the Tang Dynasty will have an end even though it is vast!" Your Xiao family occupies 1,000 acres today, he urges the family to occupy 10,000 acres tomorrow, in the long run, how can tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty come to the fields to cultivate, human nature, generations of poverty and hardship are not allowed to rise up one day like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, how can we deal with ourselves, people have no long-term worries, and the eyes of the saints are really beyond our reach......

The old men exchanged their heads and whispered a few words of dissenting people from time to time, if they had not been determined before, they might not have eaten what Li Mao said, after all, your Tang Empire has not even dealt with the small Tubo and Turkic, how can you talk about going on expeditions to other countries, but now that the four seas have been decided, the Tang Dynasty lion has heard the wind and knelt down wherever he went, so no matter how barbaric the land is, it seems that it is better than nothing!

So at this time, Li Mao sat on the jade steps and talked freely, almost opening the closed door to the new world in the minds of the ministers, since they saw the world map, they had already planted a seed of greed in their hearts, but no one had realized it before. -->
