"Ahem... Ahem.. Alright, you, no wonder Aya always says angry with you. Li Chengqian coughed a few times before saying.

"Hehe, big brother, if you are really short of money, why don't we conspire and kill him with a big vote and cheat out the money in Ayenne, what do you think?"

Li Shen said with a smile.

"Cheating money? I don't dare, I'm not as bold as you.

If your mother knows about it, you will be punished, and if you are known by Aya, you will not be beaten.

What do you think about all the time in your head? I still want to deceive Aye, I think you're crazy about money. ”

Li Shen's words startled Li Chengqian, this Li Shen really dares to do anything, this kind of thing is a mistake to think about.

"Hmph, don't do it, I know that big brother you don't do it, I'll do it myself, I've been thinking of a perfect way. I just haven't thought about it yet. Li Shen snorted.

He hadn't been thinking about his father's fortune for a day or two.

"You've cheated out a million yuan, and you're still not satisfied?"

"Huh? Ay? The eldest brother should be careful when he speaks, what is a lie, the younger brother is borrowed, is it good to borrow? In the future, when the younger brother has money, he will have to pay it back. Li Shen immediately corrected.

If it reached his father's ears, it would have been fine.

"Okay, what do you say. I'll eat here and then leave. Li Chengqian nodded perfunctorily.

Crown Princess Su immediately got up and said:

"That's right, tenth brother, let's go after dinner, I'll arrange it."

Li Shen immediately stood up and saluted:

"Then there is Sister-in-law Lao."

After Su left, Li Chengqian took Li Shen to the study.

Li Shen knew that Li Chengqian had something to say.

"Tenth brother, I heard Aya say, you want to give the merchant a naturalization? Why is that? Li Chengqian asked.

"Ah, this matter, it's actually nothing, big brother, leaving the country is just an excuse for them to pay taxes." Li Shen said indifferently.

"But if you leave the country, the merchant can join the army, and then there will be a lot of money transactions in the officialdom. This was very bad for the imperial court. Li Chengqian frowned.

"Hehe, big brother, the merchant Jinshi has a money transaction, then you tell me, who is now a Shishi has no property.

Don't say that the following state and county officials use their power to seek personal gain, and now which official above the fifth grade in Chang'an has no property at home, and he lives on his income.

As for the Duke of Wei, who was said to be upright, their family had an estate, and when he died, he refused to give me Aye's generous burial and said that it was the last wish of Duke Wei.

said that he was incorruptible all his life, and his burial was so shabby, that was to show himself, and the reward that Aya gave him every year was enough for him to be an official for a hundred years. And his family's inheritance.

So the merchant is just an extra wave of people to compete with them for positions.

For us, as long as we are talented and have real talents, it doesn't matter who is an official.

If you break the law and kill yourself, as long as there are more scholars in the world, you will not be afraid of no talent. ”

In this period, this was the case, the officials of the family and the princes and nobles of the court did not have any family business.

This is especially true of local officials.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian pondered for a moment and said:

"However, there are great drawbacks to the rise of merchants."

"Big brother, I didn't say that the businessman should rise, but he just got rid of the nationality, but the business should be suppressed.

It is impossible to let them develop and grow, and the imperial court must regulate the behavior of merchants and legislate.

Let them act within the rules set by the imperial court, and if they exceed the rules, they will be severely punished. ”

Li Shen said again that the businessmen at this time actually didn't have so many ideas.

Seeing Li Chengqian pondering, Li Shen continued:

"Big brother, there is no thousand-year-old dynasty and a hundred-year-old royal family.

The longest dynasty in history is only the Great Zhou, 790 years, 32 dynasties and 37 emperors.

How long did the rest of the dynasty survive even if it suppressed business?

From the beginning of the Shang Dynasty to the present, every dynasty and generation has deliberately suppressed businessmen, and the legalist Han Feizi even identified businessmen as one of the five major tumors of the country.

But since merchants have existed for thousands of years and have never become extinct, it means that they must have a meaning for their existence in the world.

In a sense, business is an indispensable part of a country's strength.

The focus is on how to constrain and manage the development of business.

The younger brother actually doesn't know much, but we can slowly explore and verify it in decades.

At least for a few decades of the younger brother's survival, it can be guaranteed that the merchant will not make any waves.

The younger brother hopes that my Datang can be passed down for generations, and I hope that my Li family will dominate the world. ”

Li Shen didn't know if his idea was right, because he was not an expert, and even if he was an expert, he couldn't analyze the laws of nature.

Li Shen believes that the replacement of the dynasty is actually the law of nature, the survival of the fittest, and the law of the jungle.

Li Chengqian was completely shocked by Li Shen's words, which completely subverted some of the ideas that had been held since ancient times.

Of course, it was only a small part of the thoughts, but what shocked him was that his younger brother actually had so many ideas.

No wonder he always said that Lao Shi had something in his head, and he had to find a way to get it out, otherwise he would just enjoy it by himself.

"Tenth brother, your idea really shocked the eldest brother, maybe what you said is right, but this matter is not something that can be achieved overnight,

Wait for the eldest brother to think about it, and you have to give the eldest brother more of your own thoughts. Don't be scared. Li Chengqian said.

Li Shen smiled, he just had such a little idea, if he said it, what would he do in the future.

How can I pretend to be a master in this world.

"Big brother, in fact, this is just a little humble opinion of the younger brother, Shinong Industry and Commerce plus a soldier are very important to my Datang, and they complement each other.

It is not beneficial for any one to dominate, and on the contrary, which one is not conducive to the development of Datang.

It's a matter of balance. After speaking, Li Shen picked up the teacup and drank the tea leisurely.

What he thought was that at this time, it was best to turn around and brush his sleeves away, his long clothes fluttering, and the fairy wind was boneless.

In the sentence 'A good night's sleep, no honor, no shame, no troubles.' That's even more of a show of his own freedom.

Alas~~~~ It's a pity!!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the meal has been prepared, and the Crown Princess invites King Ji to go to eat." At this time, a eunuch was outside to report.

"Okay, got it." Li Chengqian woke up from his contemplation and said a word outside.

Then he said to Li Shen, who was installing a fork there:

"Tenth brother, let's go, have a few more drinks with my eldest brother today. It's been a long time since our brothers have drunk together. ”

Li Shenyi frowned and said:

"Big brother, didn't you drink in the palace when you came back? How can you say that you haven't drunk in a long time? ”

"Hahahaha, I finally know why Aya beat you." Li Chengqian laughed.

"Why?" Li Shen's eyes widened and he asked.

"Because big brother wants to beat you too."
