"Oh!" Lu Chen, who was studying those carved beams and paintings, heard Chang Bao's words, and turned around and walked directly to the warm pavilion.

"Oops! My Lu County Father! Chang Bao hurriedly stopped in front of Lu Chen.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chen looked at Chang Bao strangely, this Li Yuan let himself in, why did this Chang Bao stop him?

"My Lu County Father! You'll have to play your crown to get in! Chang Bao looked at Lu Chen helplessly.

"What a hassle!" Although Lu Chen muttered a sentence with some impatience, he still played the crown and shook his clothes according to Chang Bao's words.

For Lu Chen's words, Chang Bao is already a little immune just this way, because Chang Bao doesn't know how to evaluate this Lu County Duke, this Lu County Gong has a bit of an unstoppable posture, Chang Bao really doesn't know what else can come out of this guy's mouth if he answers.

After Lu Chen did so, Chang Bao led Lu Chen into the warm pavilion.

"Such a big house, so empty!" Lu Chen's journey can be regarded as seeing what the destroyed Chang'an Palace looks like in later generations, although it cannot be compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing, but it is also magnificent, carved beams and paintings, but the first few times Lu Chen went to the Taiji Palace, there were so many civil and military officials, and it did not seem that the Taiji Palace had a feeling of emptiness, but now that Lu Chen came to this warm pavilion alone, he suddenly felt that this house was a little empty.

"Be careful! Be careful! Chang Bao reminded Lu Chen very helplessly, good guy, he actually began to evaluate the emperor's residence.

"Minister, Lu Chen, I've seen Your Majesty!" Lu Chen said to Li Yuan.

"Lu Aiqing, no courtesy, I heard that Lu Aiqing brought me two baskets of green vegetables?" Li Yuan asked a little impatiently.

"Yes!" Lu Chen responded very dryly.

"Quick! Move in and let me see! Li Yuan commanded at Chang Bao.

Chang Bao took the order and turned around and walked out of the warm pavilion, there was not much time, and the four little eunuchs directly carried two baskets of green vegetables into the warm pavilion.

When the two baskets of green vegetables were placed on the ground of the warm pavilion, Li Yuan directly greeted Chang Bao, helped himself to stand up, and came to the two baskets of green vegetables, at this time, the oil paper covered by the green vegetables had been removed.

"It's been a long time since I've seen so much greenery!" Li Yuan reached out and grabbed a few woad leaves and put them under his nose to smell them, with an intoxicated expression, "I, the emperor, are not as comfortable as you, the county prince!" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen with a wry smile and shook his head.

As soon as the surrounding palace eunuchs heard Li Yuan say this, they hurriedly lowered their heads, pretending that they hadn't heard what the emperor had just said.

"Your Majesty, the minister has just tried to plant successfully!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile, "Isn't this a successful trial, so I will send it to Your Majesty to try it!" ”

Chang Bao, who was on the side, heard Lu Chen's words, and directly lowered his head and pouted.

"Very good! Very good! Li Yuan looked at the green vegetables in the two baskets, his face was full of satisfaction, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied with the green vegetables in the basket or satisfied with Lu Chen's words.

"Presumably, it's not easy to grow green vegetables at this time, right? The green vegetables grown on the side of the Shanglin Department in the imperial court are not as many as those of Lu County! Li Yuan said with some emotion, "Chang Bao, send these green vegetables to Guanglu Temple, and pick some more for the prince and the king of Qin!" Li Yuan directly ordered Chang Bao.

Chang Bao was just about to turn around to do this, but at this time, he didn't expect Lu Chen to say something to stop Li Yuan from doing this: "Your Majesty, for the minister, I think that these green vegetables are all offered to Your Majesty by the minister, and Your Majesty can enjoy them alone!" Lu Chen said to Li Yuan.

Although Lu Chen's words were not too clear, Li Yuan still understood the meaning of Lu Chen's words, if he only rewarded Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin with these green vegetables, then Li Xiuning should give some, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that those heroes who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty will not say anything on the surface, and they will definitely feel uncomfortable.

And when they heard that Lu Chen actually stopped Li Yuan's words, those palace eunuchs buried their heads even lower, and as for Chang Bao, he also looked at Lu Chen with a surprised expression, how did the emperor arrange these things, this Lu County Duke actually dared to oppose and question it in person!

"Of course, the minister is popularizing this kind of green vegetable cultivation in Lujiazhuang recently, if it is successful, you can let them buy it in the minister's Lujiazhuang!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and continued.

"You kid don't want to say that if I want to eat green vegetables at that time, I will also go to your Lujiazhuang to buy them, right?" Li Yuan raised two eyebrows slightly, looked at Lu Chen and asked, "You are also a person with a title, how can you do this businessman's business?" Li Yuan counted Lu Chen's words with a calm face.

"The minister doesn't have a businessman's business, and when the time comes, if they want to buy green vegetables, they will buy it from the minister's Lujiazhuang households, so how can they say that the minister is a businessman?" Lu Chen smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Of course, how dare Your Majesty's Green Vegetable Minister collect money?" Naturally, it is ordered to send people to Guanglu Temple every day! ”

"You still have a little conscience!" Li Yuan glared at Lu Chen directly and scolded Lu Chen with a smile.

And Chang Bao had already waved his hand at this time to let all those palace eunuchs leave the warm pavilion, it was really a bit too eye-catching to talk to the monarch and the ministers now, how could Li Yuan still have a little emperor at this time, it was completely a scene of elders talking to juniors.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister thinks that this businessman is not a bad thing!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and said.

"Huh?" Hearing Lu Chen say this, Li Yuan frowned, "Shangjia is mostly a person who forgets his righteousness, buying low and selling high, how can he still say that Shangjia is not a bad thing?" Li Yuan said a little disagreeing with Lu Chen's opinion.

"Your Majesty, although this businessman buys low and sells high, has Your Majesty thought about the reason?" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and asked, after all, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, the status of businessmen has always been the lowest and the most unpopular, but in fact, a country's economy really needs the existence of these merchants, so Lu Chen is ready to brainwash Li Yuan.

"What could be the reason? It's nothing more than profit! Li Yuan said with disdain, obviously Li Yuan had no good impression of businessmen.

"Your Majesty, if something from Jiangsu and Zhejiang is transported to our Chang'an, is there any entangled loss along the way?" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and asked.

"This..."Lu Chen's words directly made Li Yuan fall into deep thought.

"Your Majesty only sees the merchants making profits, but if there are no merchants, how can goods be allowed to circulate? Without merchants, how would the things of the North be transported to the South? Not to mention, there are many unproductive things in Chang'an alone, but there are people selling them in Chang'an, isn't this all the credit of businessmen? Lu Chen continued, "Merchants transport goods, people eat horses and feed them, isn't this all money?" Naturally, the businessman wants to make this money! ”

"Lu Aiqing, you have some truth in what you said, but can the whole people abandon agriculture and engage in business?" Li Yuan continued to express his doubts.

"How could Your Majesty have such an idea?" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and said in surprise, "The land is the foundation of the country, and the most important thing in a country is the land, so why do the Turks always go south, isn't it because they don't produce?" Coveting the prosperity of my Datang? And my people of the Tang Dynasty are ancestral farming people, if they have land to plant, they will naturally not abandon agriculture and business! Moreover, businessmen can create tax revenue for us! Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Of course, it's too early to talk about the commercial tax, but I believe that it won't be long before Your Majesty will find out that this commercial tax is much more than the salt and iron tax!" Lu Chen smiled and sold a pass, and Lu Chen's first step was to sell glass, followed by iron stoves, anthracite, and green vegetables, Lu Chen didn't believe that he couldn't afford the family's silver.

"Then I'll see!" Although Li Yuan was still a little skeptical about Lu Chen's words, after a short conversation with Lu Chen, he also had a little understanding of businessmen, and at this time, his concept of businessmen was also a little loose.

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Lu Chen knew that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty in front of him had a slight change in his views on businessmen, but it would take time to completely reverse it, after all, Confucianism was now somewhat deep-rooted, and it was still difficult to reverse his thoughts all at once, so he could only take the method of boiling frogs in warm water to reverse these ideas.

"Then the minister will retire!" Lu Chen said to Li Yuan.

"Hmmm! Go ahead! Li Yuan stroked his beard and nodded, obviously still thinking about Lu Chen's remarks about the businessman.

"That's right! Your Majesty, the minister has one more thing to ask for! Lu Chen was just about to step out, when suddenly he seemed to remember something, and turned back directly.

"What?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked in surprise.

"That..."Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "The minister wants to ask the master of the two clean rooms to go to Lujiazhuang!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and said.

"Who are you going to cleanse?" As soon as he heard that Lu Chen was looking for two clean rooms, the first thought was who Lu Chen was going to cleanse.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister wants these two masters not to cleanse people!" As soon as he heard Li Yuan's question, Lu Chen said with some tears and laughter, why do you want two clean people, why do you want to castrate anyone? Li Yuan's brain circuit is no one!

"And what do you want them to do?" Li Yuan still asked curiously.

"Pigs!" Lu Chen replied very simply.

"Ahem! Ahem! As soon as he heard these two words that Lu Chen said, Li Yuan directly seemed to be stimulated by Lu Chen, and coughed twice directly, Chang Bao hurriedly went over and gave Li Yuan a light slap on the back.

"What do you say?" Li Yuan still looked at Lu Chen in disbelief and asked.

"Fanning pigs!" Lu Chen replied very simply, and with a serious attitude, it showed that he was not joking at this time.

"You..." Li Yuan suddenly had a feeling of being defeated.
