Hua Manting looked at Li Chen'an.

Li Chenan sighed three times, "It's called "The Charcoal Seller"

"Okay," Nian Chengfeng took the brush and dropped the three words "charcoal seller" on it.

"Old man Hua, those poems can cultivate sentiment, but they are not as good as the thinking of the people in the world brought by this song "The Charcoal Seller"!"

"The old man thinks that it should be listed as a lesson plan for students to study, so that they can think about why there are charcoal sellers in the world and how to change this unbearable status quo!"

Hua Manting's old eyes suddenly lit up, and Nian Chengfeng's move was of great significance-

"The Charcoal Seller" was made by Li Chenan!

This poem exhausts the hardships of the people at the bottom, which means that Li Chenan knows the hardships of the people, once it spreads, Li Chenan makes poems for the people, which is close to the people, which will make him popular with the people all over the world!

And the students in the academy are the future pillars of the country.

They understand the origin and significance of this poem, and they should know Li Chen'an's ideas of governing the country, and they should firmly become Li Chen'an's followers.

"Good idea, the old man will do this tomorrow!"

Of course, Li Chenan did not object, he got up, carried the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Nian Chengfeng and Hua Manting, and said with a smile:

"I came a little busier, and I didn't go home to get two jars of painting screens."

He sat down and looked at Nian Chengfeng, "Since the old man is my grandfather's best friend, the younger generation is not polite to the old man." ”

"Although wine is not the best wine, the intention of the younger generation is absolutely true!"

"The temperature of the wine is just right, this first glass of wine for the three of us to drink together, for this year's first encounter in the snow!"

Two old men and a young man who was dancing like an elephant raised their glasses and drank the wine together.

Nian Chengfeng seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness of not painting Pingchun, he put down his wine glass, looked at Li Chen'an again, and asked:

"The current situation of Ningguo today is full of holes, in your opinion, where should you start first?"

Li Chenan got up with the flask and poured the second glass of wine, he smiled:

"It all boils down to one word: poor!"

"The country is poor, and the people are poor!"

He poured a second glass of wine for Nian Chengfeng and Hua Manting, sat down at the table, and said very seriously:

"The economic base determines the superstructure, and if the rulers want to improve the people's livelihood, they must find ways to make the people rich, and when the people's lives are prosperous, they can live and work in peace and contentment, and they will do their best to maintain their homes!"

"There are no bandits in the world, and the door is not closed at night, this is the simplest sign of a country's prosperity!"

Nian Chengfeng frowned, and then asked:

"How to make the people rich?"

“…… The simplest way of primitive accumulation of capital is by plunder! But now we are weak and do not have this condition. ”

"You have to start somewhere else, and that involves a series of reforms."

Li Chenan said to Nian Chengfeng and Hua Manting about the idea in his heart again, this time in more detail than what he said to Li Wenhou in the imperial study.

He hoped that the old man would understand what he meant, and that he would be able to accept his ideas that were too far ahead of his time.

Even after saying this, he gave an example to explain:

"Changing from agriculture to industry and commerce is a hurdle that is not easy to overcome in the hearts of many officials!"

"But the fact is that Ningguo's agricultural output is always limited, unless the seeds can be improved as soon as possible to increase the yield per mu, otherwise, it will ...... It's rare for this thing to change in a hundred years. ”

"Crafts and commerce are not the same."

"For example, the Ruilu we drink now, its price is three hundred and fifty wen a catty, but the painting screen spring I brew can be sold for more than ten times its price, and it is still in short supply!"

"This is a living example of how I improved the method of sake brewing from the perspective of a craftsman, and I have made a huge difference in sake over thousands of years!"

"From a business point of view, this wine is unique in the market! The consumer group it is aimed at is the wealthy...... Although Ningguo is poor, there are still some rich people in Kyoto. ”

"But that's not what I'm trying to do!"

"If I want to maximize the benefits of this wine, then I must increase its production capacity and open up a larger market."

"If you want to increase its production capacity, you will inevitably expand the scale of its operation, and you will need more brewing workers...... I pay them a tael of silver a month...... I'll admit it, but it's a lot higher than their farming! ”

"In addition, I now plan to continue to expand the scale and sell the picture screen spring to other countries, the market will become bigger, and the profits will of course snowball, and I will get richer and richer!"

"Just to give you an example, in fact every industry has its tricks. This requires the government to deregulate and fully mobilize the invention and creativity of handicraftsmen, and to completely open the market, so that Ningguo's commerce can sell well in the whole Ningguo and even the whole world! ”

"This involves another problem, officials from all over the world, they need to have this new understanding, they need to break down the commercial barriers set up between cities and states, and they need to restrain the officials in their hands, not only can they no longer have to eat and take cards, but they must also vigorously welcome merchants from all over the world!"

"The development of handicrafts and commerce meant that the size of the merchants' workshops expanded, they needed workers, and there were not so many people who farmed, and many people were able to go ashore and go to the merchants' workshops to make money."

"In this way, the people have money in their pockets, which in turn can consume goods, and promote the faster circulation of commerce."

"The state will be able to collect commercial taxes from it, and then strengthen the army, protect the country, and protect the interests of Ningguo merchants from being infringed upon by other countries."

Li Chenan raised his glass, "I know that you still have many questions in your hearts, drink this second glass of wine, ask your questions, and I will explain the pros and cons to you tonight!" ”

Nian Chengfeng and Hua Manting also raised their glasses, they did have many questions in their hearts, but the two of them and Li Chenan did not ask after drinking this glass.

"It's ......"

Nian Chengfeng and Hua Manting glanced at each other, and said, "The old man is really old!" ”

"It's easy to say, but it's a series of unprecedented and complex changes."

Nian Chengfeng looked at Li Chen'an again: "The old man roughly understands what you mean, and you don't need to explain it to our two bad old men." ”

Li Chenan was stunned: "Old age, but if I don't explain this matter to you clearly, how can you implement it?" I'm really leaving! ”

Nian Chengfeng stroked his long beard and laughed: "It's a pity that the old man is old, if he is dozens of years younger...... The old man really wants to do this big thing with you. ”

Li Chenan immediately looked at Hua Manting with a puzzled expression: "Didn't the old brother mean to invite the old man out of the mountain?" ”

Hua Manting smiled slightly:

"No, this old guy has fallen all these years!"

"What does that mean, ...... brother?"

"Through this old fellow, help you hire a talented person!"

"Who?"

"Warm Cooking Rain!"

Li Chenan was stunned for a moment, "Warm boiling rain...... I heard that he has been looking for Xi Wei. ”

"He couldn't find it, because Xi Wei was dead."

"I always felt like he was alive."

"There are people who are alive and dead."

“…… Does the old brother know anything about Xi Wei? ”

Hua Manting groaned, "A bad old man, very bad!" ”

“…… And then what? ”

"No more," Hua Manting spread his hands, "get in the car and wait for Lu Zhanxiao to be destroyed because of his schemes, the emperor left the country and ran to cultivate because of his slander, and Ji Tai, an old thing, has also controlled the government for nearly twenty years because of his support, making Ning Guo this crumbling appearance......"

"Is he bad?"

"But how did Brother Shang know him?"

"With Brother Shang's knowledge and opinions, he will follow him without hesitation, and the general Wu Mian actually listens to him, there should be a lot of people gathered around him, and they are all capable people...... I always felt like there was some secret in this. ”

Hua Manting raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, "Don't think about it so much, the lights go out when people die." ”

"Since Xi Wei is dead, it means that all this has become history, and it will eventually turn into dust."

"Now this mess is in your hands, what the old brother and the old man want, that is, I hope that in the rest of my life, I will watch you clean up this mess and make Ningguo more beautiful."

The dish was served.

It's hearty.

Li Chenan took the wine jug and poured a third glass of wine for the two old men, and asked:

"That warm boiled rain...... What kind of person is he? ”
