"What does Your Highness mean by this?" Wei Ting asked.

Li Zhidao: "The roads built by the imperial court at a cost of countless money are to facilitate the travel of the people.

And as long as the people were able to move around, they could commit crimes, so that the roads would not have to be built.

The imperial court encouraged business in order to speed up the circulation of goods, and for this purpose also opened up maritime trade.

If the original order is continued according to Wei Shilang's ideas, who will the extra goods be sold to?

Since no one buys it, there is no need to encourage business, and everyone just keeps the previous order. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Wei Ting immediately retorted: "What the lower official said does not contain this meaning, how can His Highness guess at will?" ”

Li Zhidao: "Business development is such a law.

Wei Shilang only wanted to maintain the old order in order to save effort, but he didn't know that the circulation of goods had accelerated now.

If there is not enough consumption, it will soon cause unsalable.

At that time, the merchant's goods will not be able to be sold, and there will be no one to do business again.

If no one does business, it will soon lead to a shortage of materials, and when prices rise, won't the people even more trouble? ”

Wei Ting was dumbfounded by Li Zhi's words.

He just saw that Li Zhi proposed the idea of Yanchang Fang City to Li Shimin, so he made up his mind to stop it.

He didn't understand what Li Zhi said at all, so he couldn't find a reason to continue to refute it.

At this time, Liu Xun on the side spoke: "What His Highness said is a bit exaggerated.

Nowadays, the roads around Chang'an have been unimpeded, and people can travel freely and naturally at any time to and from Chang'an.

In this way, whether the market will be extended and what impact will it have on consumption? ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Lord Liu seems to be completely ignorant of the suffering of the people!

The market starts at almost noon, and there is only half a day of the day.

Many people spend an entire day visiting the market.

This king wants to ask Lord Liu, can you know how much value can be created by the people in half a day? ”

Liu Xun was stunned by Li Zhi's words, what does he do as a historian who worries about the people's income for a day?

Li Zhi saw that Liu Xun couldn't answer, so he spoke: "Now a woman can weave a silk horse every four days in her home.

The price of each piece of silk is about 100 yuan.

This king does not calculate anything else with you, just say how much can this person buy with the money that is delayed in half a day? ”

After Li Zhi's words were finished, a gasping sound suddenly sounded above the court.

Many of them also don't know how much money the people earn in a day, but they know the prices of many things.

According to Li Zhi's calculations, a common person can earn nearly two buckets of rice in half a day.

These two buckets of rice are enough for a family to eat for a day.

Liu Xun was not affected by everyone's reaction.

After listening to Li Zhi's words, he retorted: "Your Highness's words are too exaggerated, and the looms in the people's homes can be operated by only one person.

Could it be that the people have to go to the city and all the families go together? ”

Li Zhi said: "It seems that Lord Liu really doesn't understand the people!"

When the people were busy with farming, they had to go out early and return late every day to take care of the fields, so they could barely cope.

Who doesn't want to find a job and make more money when it's time for farming? ”

Liu Xun finally stopped talking when he heard this, he knew that he couldn't talk about Li Zhi in this regard.

When the others saw that Liu Xun no longer spoke, naturally no one stood up and continued to express their opinions.

I saw Li Zhi bow down and say to Li Shimin: "Father, the system of Fang City has been running for many years and has long been mature.

The adverse effects of extending the opening hours of the market will inevitably be short-term.

As the pastor of Yongzhou, Erchen is not afraid to take this risk, but I don't know why others are so resistant to this. ”

Liu Xun and Wei Ting stopped talking, but Li Zhi didn't plan to expose the matter easily.

Originally, the extension of the time of the city was only related to the responsibility of a limited number of people, and the other ministers of the court were also very interested.

It's just that the two of them obviously have nothing to do with this matter, but they still have to stand up against it.

Li Zhi didn't have to think about it to know that they just wanted to go against him.

His words seemed to be asking Li Shimin, but in fact, he was reminding those officials of his faction:

These two people are here to find fault and spray me hard.

After his words fell, Li Zhe was the first to comprehend the meaning.

I only heard him speak: "Your Majesty, Wei Shilang and Liu Yushi have been with Your Majesty all the year round, but they don't understand the people's feelings at all.

It seems that Weichen needs to make up for this deficiency as soon as possible so that he can better assist His Majesty in the future. ”

As soon as Li Zhe's words were finished, Zhang Ru, who was Si Nong Siqing on the side, stood up.

I only heard him speak: "Your Majesty, now all the princes have to learn farming.

The two adults were always with His Majesty but did not pay any attention to this point, and it seemed that Wei Chen really shouldn't have been. ”

Yan Lide opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, if Lord Wei, as a waiter of the Yellow Gate, can't understand the changes in the outside world, how can he share your worries?"

Liu Yushi records His Majesty's daily life every day, and does he do his best? ”

The words of the three people are interlocking, although they are not explicitly stated, but the meaning is clearly expressed:

Your Majesty, these two are incompetent!

The words of the three of them were subtle, but Cheng Xiao Yi did not have the slightest concern in the imperial history.

I saw him take a step forward and speak: "Your Majesty, Weichen impeached Wei Ting, the squire of the Yellow Gate, and Liu Xun, the imperial historian of the Zhishu, are slow to treat their own duties and do not want to be motivated.

Please ask Your Majesty to transfer the two to make up for the homework they owe. ”

After he finished speaking, Liu Xun and Wei Ting immediately changed their faces.

Xiao Yi's intention was obviously to kick the two out of the court.

If they are allowed to succeed, the two of them may not be able to return to the center for the rest of their lives.

It's just that the two of them exposed their shortcomings in the debate before.

At this time, the two of them couldn't think of a suitable reason to refute it at all.

The two looked at Li Tai almost at the same time, and at this time they could only hope that he could stand up and say something for the two.

This time, Li Tai's performance did not disappoint the two.

I only heard him speak: "Father, the duty of Liu Yi and Wei Ting is loyalty.

The fact that the two of them were willing to express their views on the matter was proof of this.

Erchen seems that although the two of them have shortcomings, they are not flawed after all, so there is no need to make such a fuss. ”

After Li Tai's words were finished, Li Chengqian immediately said: "Father, the speeches of the two adults are also kind.

Although there are some mistakes in my own understanding, I don't have to take it seriously. ”

After Li Tai and Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Zhe and the others did not speak again, but looked at Li Zhi.

I only heard Li Zhi speak: "Although the two adults are not very wrong, they also need to make up for their shortcomings as soon as possible."

My father was busy with state affairs, and sometimes it was inevitable that there would be some omissions.

The two adults stayed by their father's side all day, if they couldn't remind them in time, wouldn't they have to trouble Fang Xiang and the others? ”

After Li Zhi's words were finished, Li Zhe and the others immediately returned to the position where they were standing before.

Since Li Zhi didn't mean to hold on, then this matter is basically over.
