The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

Since several people supported his words, Li Jiancheng naturally expressed his thoughts without reservation.

"Since the land is given to the merchants, then they can be allowed to contribute to the construction of Datang. They can be asked to contribute money, and then give them corresponding honorary titles."

"Of course, the three titles of Lord, Baron, and Viscount can be purchased with donations. Earls and above must make a certain contribution to own them, and their titles are honorary titles, and they have no actual territory and power. Unless they contribute Great, remove the honor and become the actual title."

"His Royal Highness, isn't it selling an official position?" Pei Ji frowned, seemingly puzzled.Not only him, but even Tang Jian and the others had the same expression.

Li Jiancheng smiled, and explained unhurriedly: "Master Pei, for the country's construction, there can be many forms of hatred. Contribute energy, brains, and money. If a disaster occurs in a certain place, let the people collect donations and make outstanding contributions to the court. Commendation. And now we give honorary titles to those businessmen who funded and supported the construction of Datang, isn’t the reason the same?” [

"His Royal Highness is right, but the ministers are foolish."

"In addition, some things controlled by the government should also be let go, such as salt and other necessities for the common people."

"His Royal Highness, salt is a rare item, and it is also a rare item for northern Turks, Tubo and other forces. If it is opened to the people, I am afraid that some businessmen will communicate with hostile forces."

Dou Wei said with a worried expression that such things as smuggling have happened in the past, now and in the future, so his worries are unreasonable.

In ancient times, salt, iron and steel, and grain were all managed by the government. The purpose was to prevent the people from circulating them to the northern forces, which would be a disaster for the people of the Central Plains.

The northerners were originally born tough, and if they were assisted by refined weapons, their combat effectiveness would rise several levels.

"Lord Dou is very worried." Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement, and then changed the topic, "However, although the northern minorities are eyeing our Central Plains, it is the behavior of a few people. For most people, they pursue All we need is food and clothing. How can we ignore the majority because of the minority?”

After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Dou Wei was a little embarrassed.

"Of course, Jiancheng also knows that Master Dou may think that Jiancheng is pedantic."

"His Royal Highness, I dare not."

"Hehe." Li Jiancheng smiled lightly, "Master Dou dare not, not because he doesn't want to. Of course, Jiancheng is not being pedantic, but since he wants to pursue the world, he should have a benevolent heart and cherish the world. All peoples are regarded as their own people, and only in this way is a qualified person in power."

"Your servant has been taught."

Li Jiancheng looked at several people and said word by word: "The reason for this is that in the future, things like salt and grain will no longer be precious. Jiancheng has a way to increase the production of salt, not to mention grain. Problem. Brother Song came back from India and got new food crops. At the same time, there was also [Champa rice] from Champa, and he has to worry about the food problem since then.”

"The prince is a great talent, I can't wait."

Seeing the actions of several people, Li Jiancheng was quite moved. Aren't they tired if they have such a good talk without a few words? "Several adults must be like this. In Jiancheng's eyes, several adults are like uncles. Why do you have to be so polite when talking to juniors?"

"However, His Royal Highness, if the merchants' taxes are raised, wouldn't that mean that those merchants will alienate us from Datang and cooperate with other forces?"

Seeing that Li Jiancheng is so kind and polite, Pei Ji and the others are not hypocritical.After Tang Jian analyzed the pros and cons, he asked in confusion.

After hearing his words, Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed coldly, and he said relaxedly: "What Mr. Tang said is very true, and Jiancheng has also considered it. However, these taxes are just a drop in the bucket for those businessmen. Compared with the benefits given by the completion in the future, it is between the big witch and the little witch."

"Chengcheng also knows that many official families in the imperial court control many chambers of commerce, and the masters also have a lot of hands. Of course, Jiancheng did not blame the masters for saying this." [

Seeing the terrified faces of several people, Li Jiancheng comforted them softly.

In ancient times, the high officials of the imperial court seemed to be beautiful, but in fact their salaries were not enough to cover the expenses of their family.The family's food and clothing expenses, plus the servants and servants rewarded by the court, are not enough with that meager salary.Therefore, the subordinates of those officials will more or less have their own chambers of commerce, otherwise they would have starved to death on the streets.

Li Jiancheng's seemingly gentle words were tinged with a hint of threat: "Chengcheng knows this, so he will not stop the adults from doing things. However, as for the chambers of commerce under other adults, I don't think the adults will notify them. Bar?"

Pei Ji and the others were sweating coldly on their foreheads, not even daring to claim it.

But in my heart I was surprised.Li Jiancheng's kind words earlier made them think that the prince was a good-tempered person; however, Li Jiancheng's carrots and sticks later let them know that the prince in front of him was not a good character at all.

In this way, their awe of Li Jiancheng is even greater.

At the same time, they can only pray secretly in their hearts, hoping that after the new policy is released, those officials who are friendly with them will not do something that they will regret in the future.

While Pei Ji and the others were thinking, Li Jiancheng was also thinking about something.

"Cheng'er, if you have any questions, feel free to speak up and let's discuss together." Li Yuan, who had been silent since Li Jiancheng's speech, saw Li Jiancheng frowning in thought, so he asked softly.

After Li Yuan spoke, Pei Ji and the others were shocked.

When they talked with Li Jiancheng just now, they all forgot that Li Yuan was still sitting beside him, as if he was not there.Thinking of this surprise, he sneaked a glance at him, only to find that Li Yuan did not show any displeasure, but instead had a gratified smile on his face.

Seeing Li Yuan's smile, the hearts of the few were relieved. At this moment, they felt more and more that Li Jiancheng's position in Li Yuan's heart might have reached a position that they could not even imagine.

Perhaps, Li Yuan has the idea of ​​abdicating directly to Xian.

Thinking of this, their hearts were even more shocked.

They didn't know that Li Yuan did have this idea, but it's a pity that a certain guy who only likes to live an ordinary life doesn't have such an idea.If you let them know, they will definitely make their eyeballs pop out.

Li Shimin on the side looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan's warm appearance with some envy, while Li Xiuning looked at the two with a smile on his face, his expression was very happy.

Li Jiancheng was called by Li Yuan, and then he remembered that he was no longer struggling alone, with so many people's support, why should he do this?

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng was relieved, but Li Yuan didn't know that his words made a guy who was already very lazy become even more lazy!

If he knew the consequences, and the time could come again, Li Yuan would definitely not say a word.

ps: I don't know if the children's shoes who read the previous chapter will read this chapter.You asked me to write a protagonist for Xiami to advocate equality between men and women, as well as the issue of the military system.

I don’t know if this is the first time I’ve read a time-traveling novel. If it doesn’t reflect the ideas of the new era, then why write about time-traveling?It's better to write about the city.Not much to say, just see it slowly!I even expressed my strength.
