Chapter 388: A Clash of Ideas
Obviously, Li Chenan couldn't convince Li Wenhou, and Li Wenhou had no way to take Li Chenan.
This is the difference in their ideologies.
From Li Chen'an's point of view, he certainly knows the importance of boosting the handicraft industry and revitalizing commerce.
However, after all, this is a society with agrarian culture as the mainstay, and Li Wenhou's persistence is understandable because of the education of feudal ideology.
So Li Chenan gave up persuading Li Wenhou, because even if he persuaded a Li Wenhou at this moment, he would face countless ministers like Li Wenhou who would stand up and stop him.
That doesn't mean he gives up.
Instead, he needs to gather many important ministers together to solve this problem at once.
Instead of using force or power to force the push, he needs to present facts and reason to convince them and make them understand the profound meaning of this move.
After all, the final execution is the ministers.
If they resist in their hearts, they will not be able to carry it out.
However, in order to cure the poverty of the country, we must start with industry and commerce.
Li Chenan waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this." ”
Li Wenhou didn't give an inch: "If you're wrong, you're wrong!" ”
Li Chen'an's neck was horizontal: "It's too early to make a mistake at this moment!" ”
Li Wenhou: "The son is stubborn and cannot be taught!" ”
Li Chen'an: "Old and decaying, not carving!" ”
Li Wenhou blushed and the thick-necked guy stood up: "Lao Tzu is gone!" ”
Li Chenan also stood up, with a fierce glint in his eyes: "If you dare to carry the burden, I will dare to throw fireworks into your yard!" ”
Li Wenhou was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, "Lose it, Lao Tzu is not Ji Tai!" You think Lao Tzu is afraid of you! ”
Chang Gonggong on the side took a look, yo, both of them are stubborn, but if they are on it, no, they have to be persuaded.
So, the old eunuch walked over and smiled.
"Lord Li, it's all for Ning Guo!"
"Whether it's Lord Li or the Regent, everyone's intentions are good."
"If you don't agree with politics, you can put your burden on it...... This is not the style of the old Li family! ”
"The miscellaneous family also took the liberty of saying more, although the regent is young and kind-hearted, he is more serious!"
"If you really don't do it, I'm afraid the regent will dare to throw fireworks into your yard...... This may be able to achieve the reputation of your retainer, but Lord Li should also think about how the people will think of the regent! ”
This is said lightly.
The implication is that if Li Wenhou really quits doing this thing, won't the people think that the regent is an arrogant tyrant.
That's not a good name.
Li Wenhou glared at Li Chenan fiercely, and sat down with a puffed ass.
Wang Zhengjinzhong, who was standing in the corner and watching the excitement, also came over at this time: "Regent, what's the matter with calling your subordinates?" ”
"Sit!"
"Thank you, Regent!"
Li Chenan also sat down, didn't talk to Li Wenhou again, he looked at Wang Zhengjinzhong:
"There are a few things that the Imperial City Division will deal with."
"Please command, Lord Regent!"
"First, all the grain in Shuangjiao Mountain will be transported back to Kyoto and handed over to Lord Li!"
"Second, the next main work of the Imperial City Division is to focus on the collection of national information!"
"I want the comments of officials in various places, the situation of the people in various places, especially in the places where disasters and bandits occur, and the information must be sent as soon as possible!"
"Third...... I want information from all the countries around Ningguo! ”
"Whether it's military, agriculture, commerce, or major changes in their court, etc.!"
"From now on, the Imperial City Division only has the right to supervise, not the right to execute!"
"That is, the Imperial City Division, you can't kill people at will like in the past!"
"For any official with bad deeds, the Imperial City Division can collect criminal evidence and hand it over to the Criminal Department for interrogation and execution."
"Let no more transgression of the law and override the law, or else ...... I'll take you Wang Zheng Jinzhong is to ask! ”
Wang Zhengjinzhong listened carefully, he knew that the power of the Imperial City Division was limited by this regent at this moment.
He didn't raise any objections, because the eldest grandson Jinghong had said a word.
He said......
"This big-leaf banyan is crooked, and the ass of the Imperial City Division is sitting crooked."
Now the regent wants to straighten the ass of the Imperial City Division, let the power be separated, and the Imperial City Division will have the power of supervision, and the Criminal Department will have the power of law enforcement, which is a good thing.
"Subordinates obey!"
"Go ahead."
Wang Zhengjinzhong hugged his fists and retreated.
Li Wenhou's anger seemed to have disappeared a lot because of Li Chenan's decision, and he even looked at Li Chenan twice.
Because he understands the benefits of this decision.
"There's nothing to do with the lower officials, farewell!"
"Wait!"
"Still arguing about that?"
"It's not!"
Li Chenan poured a cup of tea for Li Wenhou, "Today, I invited the princes of the four major princes to come, isn't our household department out of money?" ”
Li Wenhou was stunned, "Do you want them to donate silver?" ”
"It's not a donation."
Li Chenan took a sip of the teacup, "When I put them all back in their respective homes, I told them a word. ”
Li Wenhou leaned over: "What words?" ”
"I told them that since the emperor has died, then the first emperor gave them the name of the prince...... Just go with the emperor! ”
"Since everyone can afford to look up to me Li Chen'an, then I, Li Chen'an, will protect the lives of your whole family, on the condition that I make up for the taxes on those industries in their hands for twenty years!"
"In addition, from now on, those industries that originally belonged to Ningguo, whether it is pastures, mines, salt pans, transportation, weaving, etc., will all be nationalized!"
"These industries are all under the household department, and the household department will set up a commercial department to deal with the production, operation, sales and other matters of these state-owned industries on a full-time basis."
"This requires a group of business-minded officials, and of course, the original heads of those industries can also be hired, and they can be given official positions so that they can serve Ningguo."
Li Wenhou was taken aback.
Because that's a great asset!
Those riches have always been occupied by the high-ranking lords of Ningguo, and no one in the emperors of the past dynasties will be the villain to take back those wealth.
Because that was the reward of the founding emperor of Ningguo to the heroes of Conglong!
Ancestral system, inviolable!
But now, Li Chenan, this kid, is going to openly violate this ancestral system......
This is of course excellent for Ning Guo, but for the Four Great Princes, it is a huge blow!
Especially the Cheng Guo Mansion and the Qi Guo Mansion once helped Li Chen'an vigorously.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "It's not a good thing to cross the river and tear down the bridge!" ”
Li Chenan waved his hand: "Someone has to be this wicked person." ”
"When the eldest son of the emperor returns to the throne, wouldn't it be better for the eldest son of the emperor to do it?"
Li Chen'an pondered for a moment: "It will take some time to find the eldest son of the emperor, but now Ning Guo has no time to wait." ”
"Will they agree?"
"It's all old foxes, and they can tell which is more important. Besides, although these industries are under the management of the household department, there are still many things that need to be done with the help of them. ”
Li Chenan also leaned over and said in a low voice: "Second Uncle can use this matter to make some fuss with them!" ”
Li Wenhou was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”
"Joint venture!"
"You won't be able to find someone to run those industries for a while, I think you can give them 20% of the profits, and the household department will hold the ownership of those industries and sell them the management rights!"
"But it needs to be time-limited, say five years!"
"In the future, if I cure Ruoshui's illness and come back, I will teach you how to auction the management rights!"
"Open private capital in, divide those industries, bid separately, operate separately, and form a competitive situation, then all the initiative is in your hands!"
"How?"
Li Wenhou was taken aback, he didn't understand how much impact Li Chen'an's words would have, he only knew that in this way, the treasury would increase its revenue by at least half!
The most painful thing for him now is that there are not a few taels of silver in the account of the household department, but Li Chen'an, a wicked man, seems to be able to solve this problem.
It's just that the four great princes will really hand over those gold and silver mountains so easily?
This is cutting their flesh!
"That's business!"
"Will you still oppose my claims?"
"Wait for them to come, you are clever, cooperate with me to flicker!"
Li Wenhou was speechless.
When I raised my eyes, I saw the four old princes walking in with black faces.
