Capital Datang

"Sixth Brother, you should try this dish quickly. Although it doesn't look good, it tastes good. (Baidu search: Aoye Novels.com, the novel will be updated soonest)" Li Zhi chewed the so-called whale meat, Said vaguely.It can be seen that this dish should be very suitable for his appetite. Not only did he eat it by himself, but he also tried his best to ask Li Yin to taste it too.

"No, you can eat it by yourself. I still like fish." Li Yin lowered his head and picked up the carp, pretending to like it.

"Hey, Brother Six, haven't you always disliked eating fish? Besides, aren't whales and carps both fish?" Li Zhi asked casually while eating. He was usually tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas. The home-cooked food I made naturally felt very fresh and delicious, so I ate it by myself, but I didn't notice anything unusual about Li Yin.

"Whales are not fish, they are..." Li Yin just wanted to explain whales and mammals, but when he thought about the complexity of the issue, he simply changed his words: "Whales are in the sea, and they have a fishy smell. I don't like it very much, but this carp does The ones are very fresh and tender, Mrs. Zhang is really good at cooking!"

Hearing Li Yin's praise, Mrs. Zhang and Liu were also very happy. After greeting their brothers and sisters to have a good meal, she and her mother-in-law took their children into the kitchen, but the two children kept staring at the food on Li Yin's table and devoured it. Drooling, it was hard to pull them into the kitchen, and then the family of four set up a small table to eat.Capital Datang 134

While they were not paying attention, Li Yin took a look and found that the two adults were eating a kind of black steamed bread, and the two children were eating a white steamed bun. They also drank millet porridge, but it was obviously much thinner than theirs, and the shining bowl It can be used as a mirror, and on the table, there is a plate of green vegetables, but there is no oily smell in the dishes, which makes people feel a little sad when they look at them.

He squeezed Li Zhi who was eating vigorously with his shoulder, and let him have a look at the situation in the kitchen.As a result, Li Zhi felt that the Zhengxiang food he ate just now lost its taste.Looking at the half-eaten steamed bun in his hand, he couldn't eat it, and it felt a bit inappropriate to put it down.Looking at Li Yin for a moment, he was a little overwhelmed.

"Eat as much as you want, it's his wish. The more you eat, the happier he will be!" Li Yin knew the psychology of low-level people like Zhang and Liu very well, so he said to Li Zhi like this .

But despite what he said, Li Zhi lowered his head and managed to finish the steamed bun in his hand, but he couldn't eat any more.Li Yin did not feel like Li Zhi, but lowered his head and ate most of the dishes on the table. Although the ingredients of these dishes were ordinary, the taste was not bad, making him feel like eating home-cooked food, and millet porridge Even drank two bowls.

After eating and saying goodbye.Li Yin and Li Zhi still walked back slowly.The days are long now, the sun is still hanging in the western sky, and the pedestrians on the street are not in a hurry to go home.Groups of three or four call for friends.Get into the nearby wine shop to drink and have fun.

"Ninth brother, after today's interview. How do you feel?" Li Yin looked at the passers-by and asked with a smile.

"Sixth brother, seeing the situation in Zhang Liu's family, you can still laugh now?" Li Zhibai glanced at him, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Ninth Brother, don't just look at things on the surface. The life of Zhang Liu's family is indeed very poor in your eyes, but you have to think about it the other way around. There is only Zhang Liu's weak woman in their family. With her monthly wages, she can still support a family of four, which is much better than her previous days of starvation. This is enough to show that with the development of industry and commerce, these poor people have brought a lot of pain. The benefits of being less." Li Yin put on a brotherly look, and taught with earnestness and earnestness.

Although Li Zhi is smart, he is a child after all, and it is relatively simple to see the problem. After hearing the explanation of the sixth brother, he thought about it carefully, and said with great admiration: "The sixth brother's words really make sense. , There are countless workers in the factory. Although not every worker can get the same wages as Zhang Liu's, the difference must be limited. In this way, industry and commerce almost support tens of millions of people. No work, no wealth, no business, no life.”

"Well, yes, industry and commerce can not only allow a few people to gather a lot of wealth, but it will also have an extremely important impact on the poor people. The most direct change is that they have an additional way to survive. You can get paid to support yourself and your family by working, and even this kind of reward is more generous than the most traditional farming, and it is precisely because of this that the number of farmers in my Tang Dynasty is gradually decreasing, while the population of industry and commerce is rapidly increasing.” Li Yin nodded and said, the topic unknowingly turned to the population dispute between industry, commerce and agriculture.

"Sixth brother, I heard that the method of land replacement and the promotion of rough planting is to deal with the problem of the reduction of grain production in the Tang Dynasty. It seems that some people are already dissatisfied with the development of industry and commerce?" Li Zhi is young, but he is Prince, there will be someone in the government to explain these court policies to him, but he didn't pay attention to it before, but now after his personal experience and conversation with Li Yin, he finally remembered it.

Li Yin also hoped that Li Zhi could see the importance of industry and commerce. When he heard him ask this question, he patiently explained the suppression of industry and commerce by the five surnames and Qiwang, and also analyzed in detail the relationship between industry, commerce and agriculture. Opposite and complementary.

At such a young age, Li Zhi never imagined that behind the superficial land replacement and the promotion of coarse planting methods, there is such a complicated hidden story.At the same time, he didn't even expect that the jovial sixth brother in his impression had the power to control the general situation of the world.

"Sixth Brother, is the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs really that terrible? As the emperor, the father can decide life and death with a single word. Why don't you use strong means to eliminate the disobedient families of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs?" Li Zhi After hearing this, he said angrily, through today's interview with Zhang Liu's family, Li Zhi saw the changes that industry and commerce brought to the poor, so he was full of good feelings for industry and commerce. The villain in his mind.

"Hehe, Ninth Brother, it would be great if things were really as you said." Li Yin touched Li Zhi's head, and said with a wry smile, "The big families with five surnames and seven wangs are entrenched in the land of the Central Plains. For hundreds of years or even thousands of years, their relationship and favor are intertwined in the whole society, and their influence is almost unimaginable. Take all the officials in the Tang Dynasty as an example, two or three percent of them were directly born in these aristocratic families , of the remaining [-] to [-] percent, at least half of them have deep ties and origins with these great families. Therefore, the emperor can use military force externally, but he has to be cautious when dealing with domestic affairs. As for being tough Means are even more impossible, unless father dares to shake the foundation of Datang!"

After listening to Li Yin's explanation, Li Zhi fell silent thoughtfully. Although he still didn't quite understand some joints, he finally realized the horror of the aristocratic families with five surnames and seven wangs from the words of the sixth brother, and at the same time he understood. Why did the father spare no effort to attack these aristocratic families.

Seeing that Li Zhi was meditating like a little adult, Li Yin also sighed softly. It might be cruel to let a ten-year-old child understand these things, but as a prince, he will have to face these things sooner or later, no matter who he is Whether to be an emperor or not, dealing with aristocratic families will be indispensable in the future, and because of their birth, they are naturally on the opposite side. It is not a bad thing to learn more about the strength of the opponent.

"By the way, Jiudi, is the whale meat you ate today delicious?" Li Yin knew that it was impossible for Li Zhi to fully understand what he said in a short time, so let's wait for him to go back and think about it slowly. So start changing the subject.

"Eh? Whale meat?" Li Zhi didn't realize it for a while, and after a moment he thought of the dish made by Mrs. Zhang Liu, and replied with some puzzlement and aftertaste: "It's delicious!" Capital Datang 134

"Really delicious?" A playful smile flashed across Li Yin's face.Li Zhi ate up the big bowl of whale meat just now, saving the two children who harmed Mrs. Zhang and Liu.

After all, Li Zhi is a child at heart, his attention was easily diverted by Li Yin, and he said with a sure face: "Of course it is delicious! By the way, Brother Six, I still want to ask you, how about Zhang Liu's whale meat?" It’s different from the one you brought last time, isn’t it? Although it doesn’t look good, it tastes good, and the fishy smell is much less, is it the new canned whale meat from Dengzhou, where can I buy it?”

Seeing the greedy look on Li Zhi's face, Li Yin shook his head sympathetically, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ninth brother, do you still remember what I said to you when I showed you how to make ice with saltpeter?" ?"

"Saltpeter to make ice?" Li Zhi showed a look of reminiscence, but he soon realized that because he didn't know that ice was made from saltpeter, he ate it in his stomach, and it ended up dragging him for several days.At that time, the sixth brother said sarcastic words and told himself not to eat things indiscriminately, otherwise there would be big problems.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi's face turned pale, and he immediately had a bad feeling, and stammered, "Six...Sixth brother, you don't mean to tell me that there is something wrong with Zhang Liu's whale meat, right?"

"Ahem~, what..., it's not Zhang Liu's fault, she also has good intentions, but she doesn't know, it can't be regarded as real whale meat." Li Yin also said a little embarrassed.He is also responsible for this matter, because the whale meat made by Zhang Liu is actually a kind of canned food from Dengzhou. Of course, although this canned food is marked as whale meat, in essence, it is at most It can only be regarded as a mixed meat.

"Sixth brother, what do you mean by that, what do you mean it's not real whale meat?" Seeing Li Yin's face, Li Zhi felt even worse.
