Chapter 37: Persuading Li Shimin

"Not to mention living. The East Market is expensive. The West Market is cheaper. So Ayer. That's the value. Supply and demand. Buy more and sell less. The price is expensive. Buy less and sell more, and the price is cheaper. Scarcity is expensive. Li Shen gave Li Shimin a brief overview of the primary business experience in the later generations

"You can be a prince. The lowly way of the merchant is a loss of royal face. Li Shimin said to Li Shen

"Ayer. Do you also think of Shinong business? Li Shen asked rhetorically

"This has been the case since ancient times. Shang is a lowly family," Li Shimin replied.

"Stone, go out and keep watch." Li Shen turned his head and said.

When Li Shimin saw Li Shen like this, he knew that Li Shen had something to say and didn't want to spread it. So he glanced up at Wang De, Wang De immediately understood, and asked the palace maids and eunuchs who came with him to go out, and Li An also walked to the door.

Li Shimin said to Li Shen: "Say it." No one will know."

"Ahh Shi Nong Shang Shang first referred to sergeants, peasants. Craftsman. Merchant. There are no scholars, and the first is to facilitate the management of the country.

There is no high or low. Later, Confucianism became dominant, and scholars changed their scholars to Confucian scholars in order to improve their status. My Li family is a royal family, and the whole world belongs to our Li family

。 All the Shinong businessmen are the subjects of my Li family. In the eyes of the emperor, there should be no distinction between high and low. Whoever contributes to my Li Tang Wanshi foundation will be a noble person of my Li family.

In order to elevate the status of Confucianism, scholars have mythologized it. The doctrine of Confucius is only a doctrine to educate the world to be human beings. But now the reader has become a tool of power and wealth.

Because the family occupies the court, they don't read much. Less is worth the money. Then we'll make him worthless. Let the people of the whole world read. Confucianism excludes other doctrines. It's the same as religion rejects other religions. ”

"Aya, we royals don't need to learn those advanced Confucianism. It is enough to know the truth of being a person and doing things. The people have not read books, don't the people know filial piety and etiquette? Li Shen said that he would not say anything. In fact, his knowledge is not very large. They were all contacted by later generations from online media, and he has been reading books for more than ten years. But no matter how advanced he is, he doesn't understand.

Li Shimin fell into deep thought. Li Shen basically understands what he said. It's just that he was also educated by Confucianism. And all dynasties have been like this, with inertial thinking. He didn't expect Li Shen to understand it so thoroughly. Oh, yes. We are royal. Datang is our family, and people are also our family. For the emperor, they are all people.

Wei Guifei looked at Li Shen worriedly. He couldn't understand why his son, who had always kept a low profile, would say such things today. This is offending the reader.

"Hey. If only your eldest brother could think the same way as you. Recently, Yanguan has been impeaching the crown prince. And your big brother has been messing around a bit lately. Dogs and horses, now I have arranged for important ministers in the court to teach.

But little has been gained. Messing around in the Prince's Mansion all day long. If he had your opinion, I wouldn't have to worry so much. Li Shimin thought of Li Chengqian again. History has not changed because Empress Changsun did not die.

Li Chengqian has changed. Li Shimin doted on King Wei, and now King Wei is surrounded by a group of family officials to support him. has gradually gained a bit of the meaning of fighting against Li Chengqian.

Although now the old ministers still support Li Chengqian. But he didn't get close to Li Chengqian, after all, he had to avoid suspicion. I am afraid that Li Shimin will be suspicious.

"Ayer. In fact, at this age, you are asking too much. This is the time to be young and vigorous. It is a period of rebellion. Don't push too hard," Li Shen explained, Li Chengqian was in the rebellious period. After all, he was only seventeen years old.

"Hmph. He is the crown prince. If the requirements are not high. How can I inherit my country in the future? Li Shimin snorted coldly

"Aya, I heard that the eldest brother used to have a master named Li Gang." Li Shen asked

"Li Gang is a great Confucian in the former dynasty. I asked him to teach the prince that he valued the prince," Li Shimin replied

"Aye, you are sure that you attach importance to the crown prince. Think about who he's taught. What will happen in the end? Li Shen asked Li Shimin playfully

Li Shimin was startled when he thought about it. Yang Yong, the former prince of Sui, was later deposed. Prince Li Jiancheng. Later, I also learned badly. Listen to slander. was killed by Li Shimin. Unlucky. This time it's the crown prince. Although Li Gang is dead. But now the prince has also learned badly.

"Aye, in fact, the eldest brother is really good. The eldest brother did this because you were too good to the fourth brother. You have been cultivating your eldest brother for more than ten years.

At the age of eight, he listened to politics, and at the age of fourteen, he could supervise the country. The political affairs were handled in an orderly manner, but Aya still felt that it was not enough. I also have to temper my eldest brother, and my eldest brother's confidence is so worn out.

After all, the eldest brother is only seventeen years old, and he is not like Aye, who has experienced life and death, battlefield battles. Aye, you are only middle-aged, and your eldest brother is only a teenager, don't be so anxious. ”

"Hmph, that's a light one. I arranged for so many important ministers of the Confucian court to teach the crown prince. Don't you just want him to be a wise man, don't I pay attention to him? Li Shimin said angrily

"Ayer. The eldest brother is going to be an emperor in the future, and Confucius is known as a sage, but he has never been an emperor. The important ministers of the court and the central government are all pregnant with ghosts, which one is not for themselves.

They taught the eldest brother, does the eldest brother want to be a great Confucian in the future, or to be an important minister? The way of the emperor is only understood by the emperor.

Throughout the ages, which Mingjun's father is not Mingjun. Always teach and imitate, Aye, which Ming Jun Nengjun you said was taught by a group of scholars.

The way of the emperor is to pass it on by word of mouth and teach it by example. "Li Shen actually felt that there was a problem with the prince's education when he watched TV in his previous life, and you let a group of people who have never been emperors teach others to be emperors, isn't that a joke?

Li Shimin also began to think about what Li Shen said, the prince is now surrounded by all kinds of capable people. But the prince is different, and he also knows that the prince's good voice now is protesting that he is too fond of Li Tai.

But how can the prince deal with this Manchu Dynasty civil and military without going through tribulations, everyone is an old fox.

"Hey. What you said has some truth, but Gao Ming will be the emperor in the future, if he doesn't have a tenacious mind, how can he resist the pressure, the emperor is not good. Li Shimin sighed

"Aya, the eldest brother, the second generation of the emperor, is the best, as long as you set the tone of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, the eldest brother can follow suit, the worst thing is the next few generations, as long as Aya builds the Tang Dynasty well, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the people have enough food and clothing. Even if someone wants to rebel, the people will not follow suit.

If we can learn and teach, earn from labor, get medical treatment for illness, provide for the elderly, live in a house, and our Tang Dynasty will be safe, then our Li dynasty will definitely be passed down for a hundred generations. "Li Shen's knowledge is really not much, so he was forced to tell all the policies of the country in his previous life

"Learning is taught, work is earned, sickness is treated, the elderly are supported, housing is lived, good, it is good. In this way, the people will never oppose me.

Li Shen, I didn't expect me to have such an opinion at a young age. Then in your opinion, how to put the prince on the right path. Li Shimin was very excited, he didn't expect Li Shen's ideas to be so good.
