The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

"Whether it is marching and fighting, or the development of people's livelihood, the economy is the key. Therefore, in order to make the economy develop steadily, some institutional changes must be made."

Compared with the previous life, in today's era, many economic policies are very backward, so Li Jiancheng can speak fluently without thinking at all.

The few people present are not stupid, so they naturally know the importance of economic development to a force.However, they don't have the experience of previous lives like Li Jiancheng did. Although they know that the economy is important, they don't have any strategies to speed up the economic development.

"I wonder if any of you have heard of Song Shidao's voyage?" Li Jiancheng asked unhurriedly, raising his finger.

Pei Ji frowned slightly, and said in a concentrated voice: "Your Majesty, I have heard something about it. [Heaven Sword] Song Que's son found a place called Indian during his voyage. The people on the island spoke the same words as us It is different, and the island also has crops that are different from our Central Plains. There are even rumors that the island is full of gold and silver, and there are many mineral deposits.” [

"Oh, this place really exists?" Li Yuan said excitedly with his eyes shining.

"Hehe, this place does exist." Li Jiancheng said with certainty.

"Why is Cheng'er so sure?" Li Yuan asked suspiciously, Pei Ji only said that he had heard it, but Li Jiancheng said so with certainty, which is really surprising.

"Hey!" Li Jiancheng smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, Brother Song's voyage this time, was asked by Boyer to go, and Boyer told him the location."

"..." Everyone present widened their eyes, staring at Li Jiancheng, as if they were looking at a sinner through the ages.

After a while, Li Yuan said angrily: "You brat, if you don't tell your father about such a good thing, you will be making it easier for outsiders."

Li Jiancheng knew he was in the wrong, so he could only smile and say nothing.

"How did His Royal Highness know about this?" Tang Jian asked suspiciously.

Li Jiancheng had a straight face, and said solemnly: "Of course, I learned from the book that the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty sent Xu Fu to cross to the east, and found that the island was called 'Penglai', and it was later known that it was actually 'Fusang'. Island country; during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he conquered the west to expand the territory, which is today's Tianzhu. Numerous examples tell us that there are many unknown regions in this world, waiting for us to explore. And the book I read is also a certain navigator written."

"His Royal Highness is right, but I don't know how these have anything to do with my economic reform in the Tang Dynasty?" Dou Wei frowned and asked in confusion.

"If we want to develop the economy, we need new markets and new products to enter the market. Then, those new regions are the direction of our development. Therefore, we have to introduce some new policies. Only in this way can we make businessmen full of Motivation, go to those unfamiliar areas to open up, and drive the economic development of Datang."

"Princess Pingyang is here."

Following the eunuch's shout, Li Xiuning in a pink dress came in from the outside.

"Father, elder brother, second elder brother, several adults."

Li Xiuning bowed to everyone, then consciously found a seat and sat down.

"Xiu Ning, you are here, listen to your elder brother's suggestion, if you have any opinions, please bring them up." Li Yuan said to Li Xiu Ning with a smile.

Li Yuan and Dou Xian had four sons, and the only daughter was Li Xiuning, so naturally they were loved very much.Besides, Li Jiancheng, the eldest brother, and Li Shimin, the second brother, treated her very well.Although she sometimes quarrels with Li Yuanji, their relationship is not bad.As for the seldom-spoken Li Yuanba, he also listened to this fourth sister very much.

After everyone sat down again, Li Jiancheng continued to express his thoughts.

"Whether it is the former Sui Dynasty or the previous dynasties, they all paid attention to agricultural tax. Therefore, when the dynasty reached the later stage and the emperor was fatuous, the agricultural tax was even more heavy, and this was often the root cause of the collapse. However, they did not find that there was a real It is not these farmers who turn their backs to the loess, but those businessmen who travel north and south.”[

"So, what I mean is to lower the agricultural tax as much as possible, implement a new tax law, and focus on starting with the commercial tax."

"But, this..."

Li Jiancheng's voice fell, but Dou Wei, Tang Jian, and Pei Ji frowned. Tang Jian was about to speak, but Li Jiancheng stopped Tang Jian's next words with a wave of his hand.

"Master Tang, I know you want to say that businessmen are of low status and should not deal with them too much." Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Pei Ji and the others nodded in agreement. "However, dare to ask a few adults. Could it be that the clothes you wear and the utensils you use in your home are all made by yourself? No, if you want to come, some adults will know that these things come from the low-status businessmen you said, yes No? They are all well-read poets and books, do they have the same ideas as those vulgar people?"

"This..." When Pei Ji and the others heard this, they faltered and couldn't answer.

Seeing the embarrassment of several people, Li Jiancheng did not continue to make things difficult. Instead, he showed a dignified expression and said slowly: "Before I say the following, let me tell you a story."

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, everyone showed a look of listening.Especially Li Xiuning and Li Shimin pricked up their ears.

"Once upon a time (cough), there was a businessman. He had a younger brother who was talented and intelligent, and his neighbors said he was rich and honorable. Therefore, this businessman got up early every day in the dark, even if it was windy and rainy, severe cold and hot summer. He traveled all over the world to make money without interruption, and it was his wealthy younger brother who was supporting him. He also knew that his status was low, and he just hoped that his younger brother would become famous and honor his ancestors.

Of course, his younger brother did not live up to his expectations. After studying hard for ten years, Han was finally named on the gold list and entered the capital as an official.However, when his younger brother became an official, he began to draw a close relationship with his elder brother. In his eyes, it was a shame to have such a businessman's younger brother.

Later, his younger brother was implicated in a major case and stepped down. The businessman was not dissatisfied with his younger brother's previous actions.Instead, he settled the members of his younger brother's family well.Even so, the younger brother of the businessman is still ashamed of the businessman, unwilling to abandon the airs of a scholar and start a business with his elder brother to support the family?Dare to ask a few adults, what do you think? "

Li Jiancheng's last utterance can be said to be a shout. How many such things have happened in China's thousands of years of history, and why?

First of all, it is because Confucianism imprisoned their thoughts, making them think that scholars are superior; secondly, scientific research also killed their wings to fly.

After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, everyone present said silently, and they were not ignorant of these things.

"I, Li Jiancheng, have three wishes in this life. The first wish is equality between men and women; the second wish is the distinction between high and low; the third wish is the distinction between rich and poor. As long as you work hard, you can get the status and wealth you want."

Li Jiancheng's words were so loud that everyone present were stunned.

Among them, Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes were shocked by the sentence of equality between men and women, and there was a strange light in her eyes.

"Hey, Dad, my son is not encouraging the people to rebel. The position of the Son of Heaven is not just a matter of hard work, but of God's favor."

At the beginning, he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and then he was in a smug manner, which pulled everyone back from the shock.As for Li Jiancheng's last sentence, everyone automatically ignored it.This sentence is okay to deceive the common people, but they are all intellectuals who have read poetry and books, so they naturally take this kind of words of God's blessings seriously.

"Haha!" Li Yuan laughed loudly, "I deeply agree with my son's idea, and I will fully support it as a father."

"The ministers are willing to follow in the footsteps of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, and persevere!" Pei Ji and the others bowed and bowed, expressing their determination to follow.

"Father, brother, I want to work hard with you too." Li Shimin and Li Xiuning also waved their fists, expressing their determination.

Seeing Li Shimin's performance, Li Yuan was amazed in his heart. He prefers Li Shimin to call him father now, rather than the slightly alienated "Father Emperor" before! [
