Changan.

Fang Xuanling has been a little anxious recently.

As the Zaifu of Datang, the recent events have made him a little confused.

Li Er wanted to change, and he saw it.

But what if you see it?

He couldn't stop it, and he didn't know whether this change was a good thing or a bad thing for Datang.

Sometimes, he even feels old, and some can't keep up.

On this day, the snow was falling, and the entire Chang'an City was covered in silver.

Fang Xuanling, who had just walked out of the public hall, looked at the busy people on the street, and was in a trance.

In the past, in this situation, the big guys preferred cats to spend the winter in their own homes, but in the past two years, with the emergence of gloves, some scarves have been born, and there are obviously a lot more people on the street.

"I think that a few years ago, gloves were only used by the noble family, but who knows that now, ordinary people can afford to use them." Just when Fang Xuanling was stunned, Xiao Yu came out of nowhere, stood next to Fang Xuanling, and sighed.

"It's just a glove, but it's just a trail." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Your Highness didn't plan to make money from this thing at the beginning, after all, the craftsmanship of this thing is too simple, and there are a few women in the family, and you can do it yourself." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, indeed, the glove business was the hottest, that is, the year Li Chengqian left Chang'an, and the glove business that year was indeed very hot.

But in the next few years, it was not like that, even if Li Chengqian laid out and controlled a large amount of fur in advance, but who said that fur must be used to make gloves?

Besides, can the common people afford to use their fur?

Nowadays, almost everyone on the street has a pair of gloves, and they are basically made of coarse cloth.

It's not pretty, but it's practical.

"That's not what you're trying to say, is it?" Fang Xuanling saw that Xiao Yu didn't speak, and immediately smiled.

Xiao Yu didn't hide it, and said casually: "This is the benefit of industrial reform, a real benefit." ”

He is such a square person, good is good, he will not and does not want to tell lies.

"yes, the benefits are many." Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "These benefits are almost visible to the naked eye, but the rules of thousands of years have gradually changed under the temptation of interests. ”

"Rules?" Xiao Yu shook his head, "If the rules curb the lives of ordinary people, then it should also change."

In the final analysis, if we are on the official side, don't we also hope to benefit the party?

The so-called rules should serve the people to live a better life, and they are by no means for the interests of some people. ”

After saying this, Xiao Yu sighed, a little excited.

It is estimated that there are few people in the entire Datang who can say this confidently, and he Xiao Yu is one of them.

That is, Xiao Yu's reputation in later generations is not obvious, if you really want to talk about it, he has done more ruthlessly than Wei Zheng in some aspects!

"But don't forget, all this is just your Highness's push." Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Although His Highness is far away in the northwest now, haven't you noticed that his influence on Datang is getting bigger and bigger?" ”

"What does it affect or not?" Xiao Yu said with an indifferent face, "Choose the best and learn it, and choose the evil and change it, then it can be done."

Moreover, do you think Your Majesty can't see the bends in this clearly?

Now that Your Majesty has seen it all and insists on implementing industrial reform, what are you worried about?

This is the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty fighting, comparing, and at the same time......

Forget it, no matter who is competing with whom, it's a good thing.

Perhaps, in this kind of healthy competition, it is not known whether it can compete for an eternal prosperous era. ”

"You know?" Fang Xuanling continued, "Just a few days ago, Sun Simiao and Sun Daochang sent an invitation letter to all the famous doctors in the world, inviting famous doctors from all over the world to go to Sun Moon Mountain to set up hospitals, teach students, and develop medicine!"

Is this also healthy competition?

Song Guogong, you can imagine that if these famous doctors all go to Sun Moon Mountain, then who should the people of the Tang Dynasty go to to ask for medicine?

Moreover, His Highness was a craftsman first, and now he is a doctor, what will the future be?

In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty is just a product of His Royal Highness to prove himself, he can lose, but Datang can't lose......"

Fang Xuanling is actually not an old-fashioned person, the reason why he has such and such confusion is actually that he doesn't understand Li Chengqian.

In other words, he, Murong Fuyun and others all made the same mistake, thinking that the Ming court tossed by Li Chengqian was just a means for him to establish his status as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

They all wrongly overestimated the importance of the identity of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Only Li Er, who is also a king, knows that after coming to this point, Li Chengqian will not treat the Ming Dynasty as an experiment.

"Then you'll have to think about it." Xiao Yu smiled, "What kind of person is Sun Simiao, in fact, you and I both know that His Majesty didn't leave him at the beginning, why is he willing to stay with His Highness?" ”

"That's a medical idiot." For Sun Simiao, Fang Xuanling still knows a thing or two.

Being able to study medicine in the Qinling Mountains alone is a person who deserves respect.

"Then you haven't thought about it, what is the reason why a medical idiot can stay in Sun Moon Mountain?" Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Moreover, why can an invitation letter from Daochang Sun cause such a big uproar?"

At the end of the day, they want to revitalize medicine, just as you want to revitalize culture and education.

There's nothing wrong with that. ”

"Won't Datang let them revitalize medicine?" Fang Xuanling said angrily, "How many excellent doctors have the Imperial Doctor cultivated for my Datang every year, isn't it revitalization medicine?" ”

"The doctor who is cultivated by the Imperial Doctor?" Xiao Yu smiled and said nothing......

"Your Highness is creating pressure on Datang, in the old man's opinion, this is a good thing." After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Yu still said, "Perhaps, only under pressure, we can be motivated." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yu sighed and left.

He is like this, and any power and wealth are like clouds and smoke in his eyes, and he really doesn't take it to heart.

It also has to do with his birth.

There are some things that are extremely desired only when they don't have them, but some people are born with them and look down on them......

Fang Xuanling shook his head, but finally turned around and returned to the palace again.

"Your Majesty, the servant of the house asks to see you." In the Liangyi Palace, Li Er was actually looking at Sun Simiao's invitation, and nodded when he heard the words.

"Your Majesty."

Waving his hand, Li Er said, "Come on, give a seat." ”

"Your Majesty, now Sun Simiao has an invitation letter, inviting famous doctors from all over the world to go to Sun Moon Mountain, which has made countless famous doctors excited."

"That's what you're talking about, right?" Li Er took the invitation letter in his hand and said, "I also just heard that this kid Gao Ming is really idle." ”

After speaking, Li Er also smiled.

Fang Xuanling said eagerly: "Your Majesty, these doctors are all talents of my Datang, if they are lost to the Ming Dynasty for nothing, who should the people of my Datang seek medical advice for?"

It's time to make a move! ”

"Shot?" Li Er's face was puzzled, "How can you make a move, tie them up in Datang?"

I know what you're worried about, but there are some things that we can't decide, even if I'm the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I can't do many things.

Moreover, Sun Simiao's invitation letter caused Xinglin to bend his waist, have you thought about why?

That's because the Ming Dynasty has enough things to attract them in medicine!

If not, how many people are willing to go to the northwest?

Also, that Sun Simiao still has the impression that when I was added to the official and entered the knighthood, this Sun Simiao refused, preferring to study medicine alone in the Qinling Mountains.

Now, since he is willing to stay in Sun Moon Mountain, what do you think is the reason?

Isn't it still that Sun Moon Mountain has enough reasons for him to stay!

Then I want to ask, why did Sun Moon Mountain have a reason to let him stay, so that countless famous doctors in the Tang Dynasty flocked to him, why? ”

Faced with Li Eryi's series of questions, Fang Xuanling was bitter.

There is no answer to this question.

Although Li Er asked harshly, he was quite satisfied in his heart.

He really didn't have any opinion of the doctors who were willing to go to Sun Moon Mountain.

According to him, it is going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so I can't stop it.

Moreover, the person who wants Datang to change the most now is precisely him!

He saw hope in Li Chengqian's various deeds.

"Then we'll let it go?" Fang Xuanling finally said, "What are the doctors, craftsmen, and scholars who are lost today, and what about tomorrow?" What about the day after tomorrow? Your Majesty, my Datang talents are draining! ”

"Then we'll find a way to keep these talents in my Datang!" Li Er said, "What Da Ming uses to attract them, we also use to attract them!"

Under the same conditions, would they rather go to the northwest than stay in Datang? ”

This is Li Er's purpose.

Since his accession to the throne, although strong, he has been restricted by all sides.

He also needs such an opportunity to break these limitations.

As soon as Fang Xuanling heard him say this, he knew that he had come in vain today.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Xuanling bowed down and said goodbye.

Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling, who turned around, and shook his head.

"From the perspective of Datang, he is a good courtier, but he is only a good courtier."

This is Li Er's evaluation of Fang Xuanling.

And Fang Xuanling, who left the palace, went back to his mansion directly and locked himself in the study.

He gradually discovered that he was out of tune with Li Er.

As the current dynasty Zaisuke, this is a very dangerous signal.

"Lang Jun, Kong Yingda, Wen Yanbo ask to see, they are in the front hall." Just when Fang Xuanling was deep in thought, the old servant in the house pushed the door and walked in.

Nodding, Fang Xuanling immediately walked out of the study.

In the front hall, Kong Yingda and Wen Yanbo were drinking tea.

Speaking of Wen Yanbo, many people may be a little unfamiliar, but in the early years of Zhenguan, he was also a unique figure.

This person is probably the most commendable thing to the world because of his opposition to the internal migration of the Hu people and his years-long rivalry with Wei Zheng.

The key is that in the end, Wen Yanbo won by a small margin.

It can be said that he is Wei Zheng's lifelong enemy!

"The arrival of the two of them really makes the house shine." As soon as Fang Xuanling came in, he laughed and said.

Wen Yanbo waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, don't you know what happened to the old man and the two?" ”

Several of them are already familiar with each other, so they don't talk about that on weekdays.

Shaking his head, Fang Xuanling said, "The old man has already met His Majesty just now......"

These two people tend to be conservative in their thinking, so as soon as they heard that the two of them were coming, Fang Xuanling guessed the reason, and immediately told him about the previous incident.

After listening to him, Wen Yanbo also shook his head, and said with a worried face: "It seems that it is not only His Highness who wants to push the reform of the Tang Dynasty, but His Majesty also intends to use His Highness to let the Tang Dynasty carry out reforms."

But how can this reform be so easy......"

"Yes, this industrial reform has just begun, is it possible that Your Majesty will also carry out medical reform?" Kong Yingda also said with a tangled face, "The steps are too big, and it's easy to get ......."

"But the words of His Majesty and Song Guogong made the old man think deeply." Fang Xuanling said, "If reform can make people's lives better, why don't we do it?"

Can conformism really cure the world? ”

Don't look at Fang Xuanling's appearance in front of Li Er, Xiao Yu and others, but it is different in front of Wen Yanbo and others.

"But is Datang really ready?" Wen Yanbo said, "How many years has it been in the world? is so aggressive, are you really not afraid of something happening? ”

They're not actually against change.

To be honest, when it comes to their position, it is very difficult for anyone to threaten them and their family's position.

"This is also what the old man is worried about." When Fang Xuanling heard this, he sighed and said, "The old man also knows that reform is actually not a bad thing for Datang.

But reform means that interests have to be redivided, and those with vested interests are ever willing?

Throughout the ages, which reform has not been a skin on the body of vested interests? ”

"That's it, if the vested interests are damaged, will they give up?" Wen Yanbo also shook his head.

When they say vested interests, they don't mean their group.

Although they are also vested interests, they are the top layer of vested interests, not to mention that it is difficult to try to touch their interests.

Even if they were active, they no longer valued monetary gains.

The vested interests they speak of are the lower middle classes of the group, and these two classes are the most easily touched.

But the problem is that there are a lot of them......

In particular, the lowest group of vested interests is almost several times larger than the total number of all classes combined.

Now it's them who have to worry about it.

"Isn't it good to stop the so-called reforms and maintain the status quo?" Kong Yingda also shook his head.

"In this way, the old man will go back and organize people to start playing the chapter now, it's not that he can't reform, but he can't be so drastic." Wen Yanbo said, "You don't know, just these days, the people who read are crazy.

If this continues, these scholars will probably have no heart to go to school. ”

"It's all the big families doing ghosts." Fang Xuanling had also heard about this, but he was not worried, and said casually, "Those who use the topic to play, to put it bluntly, haven't read the book yet."

The most important question now is which side are we going to be on! ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Wen Yanbo and Kong Yingda were stunned.

"What do you mean?" Wen Yanbo suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He and Fang Xuanling have known each other for so many years, and there is something wrong with Fang Xuanling today.

Fang Xuanling said: "It's time to make a choice!" As always. ”

Back then, they had made countless choices.

Several people present were old people who had gone through several dynasties.

This number of dynasties is not the two dynasties of Li Yuan and Li Er, but the real dynasties.
