Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"That's all right, all right, Your Highness King Qin, hurry up, you're going to provoke His Majesty the Emperor again in a while, I won't intercede with you." Empress Changsun also waved her hand with a smile.

"Yes, the minister is gone." Li Ke first saluted the Empress Changsun, then saluted his mother and concubines, and other concubines, and some concubines also returned the salute, and Li Ke left.

After Li Ke left the Lizheng Hall and the sound of footsteps went away, the kind smile on Empress Changsun's face disappeared, and it turned into a kind smile with no obvious mood: "You also I heard it all. After a while, Your Majesty and the others finish talking, you can go back separately. You don’t feel comfortable staying here with me. You don’t need to accompany us. If someone asks you to come here, pass on what King Qin said. Just do it."

"Yes." Except for Concubine Yang, everyone else said.

Of course, Concubine Wei and the others just made up the numbers, otherwise these Jieyu and talented people would not dare to answer casually.

"Hey, Dad, I'll help you comfort me." After Li Ke came out from inside, Li Ke ran to Li Shimin to ask for credit.

Li Shimin glanced at him sideways, "Isn't it because of you?"

"What does that have to do with me? Who told you to beat me?" Li Ke refused to accept it. I had to help you after I was beaten. How could I be blamed.

"Okay, okay, this matter is over, Chang Lin put this away." Li Shimin pointed to the things on the table.

Chang Lin had already asked the eunuch to bring over a wooden box, silently put away all the contents, and put them into the wooden box.

"I already know about the affairs of the clan, you..." Li Shimin didn't know what to say for a while, Li Ke could be said to have solved all the original problems.

"Are you so sure that Night City's profits are so high?" Li Shimin couldn't help asking.

Li Ke smiled. From ancient times to the present, the poor cannot imagine the life of the rich. At most, they can imagine an emperor working with a golden pole and eating with golden bowls and chopsticks.

Aristocratic families enjoy much more than Li Shimin and the others in some aspects.

And what Li Ke has to do is to let them know that what they enjoyed before is nothing at all. In Datang Everbright City, this is called enjoyment!

Even though this is ancient times, what is certain is that Datang Everbright City will soon gather all the wealthy people in the entire Tang Dynasty to come here for consumption. Can the profit not be high?

"Whether it's high or not, it's not a loss for us. Even if it's not high, I have plenty of ways to help them get enough profits." Li Ke said lightly.

"Okay, you have a lot to say, you definitely haven't told these clans, you can talk about it." Li Shimin thought for a while.

"I feel like me, Li Tai, Li Zhi, these princes' positions, you can just withdraw them, it's not necessary, and you won't let us take up the position, it's meaningless to fill up these positions. After the positions are released, there will be a large number of vacancies, and these positions can be handed over to people who can really handle things." Li Ke said.

Compared with the imperial family, the princes like Li Shimin have more and more outrageous positions.

But not everyone has the right place.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment. Some positions in Datang are not just positions, but also represent status.

"Before adulthood, it is enough to have the titles of prince and prince, and you don't need anything else. What's the point of taking these positions in vain? We have made so many reforms in Datang, and we have to start with ourselves." Li Ke said with a smile.

"These are actually nothing, but the vacancies are not filled by officials from powerful families?" Li Shimin sighed and asked, "This is not in line with your original plan."

"In fact, these are all simple, but it takes a long time in the end. Datang Everbright City is actually just a bait." Li Ke said with a smile.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, the Everbright City of Tang Dynasty is all bait?How big is this fish?

"What on earth do you want to do?" To be honest... Li Shimin is now a little overwhelmed by Li Ke's handwriting.

"I want data." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Data?" Li Shimin was completely confused, how should this data be explained?He is a little unclear.

"Yes, I want the data of all the merchants in the world, and who are these merchants related to." Li Ke said with a smile. There are so many merchants in the world, and without a large enough business, it is impossible to catch all the merchants Come out, there is not enough interest, enough attraction, how could these businessmen appear.

Moreover, what Li Ke also wanted to see was how many businessmen dared to cut off with these aristocratic families secretly.

The aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty represented the gentry, and in the case of the recommendation system for officials, the gentry represented the officials, the aristocratic families represented the officials, and the merchants represented the merchants. After 1000 years, even thousands of years later, this cannot be changed.

After the data can be obtained, there are too many ways to operate it.

Li Shimin thought about it for a while. He probably knew what Li Ke was going to do. The aristocratic family did have its own business, and they were all side branches, or the son-in-law who married into the family. But the mainstream is to cooperate with the merchant family to take part The way.

When a family of merchants operates a certain industry, the influential family gives him the influence, and the family of merchants gives him a third part and a second part, but the specific business family doesn't care.Is this pattern familiar?

So many things are actually handed down from the ancestors.

And what Li Ke wants to do is to dig out the foundations of these aristocratic families?

"Father, what do you think the imperial power comes from?" Li Ke asked suddenly.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, looked at it and said immediately: "What do you want to say?"

"Father, I said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Is that right?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

This sentence is very common. The ancient spear is also the main weapon of the army. Li Shimin naturally understands it. He nodded: "Although it is a little common, it goes to the core of the problem."

"Father, if, I mean if, all the generals of the Tang army, from low to high, were gradually trained from the common people and educated by the military academy funded by the royal family. They accepted the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since childhood, Moreover, the configuration of the army is more reasonable, adopting the recruitment system, the generals of the army are replaced regularly, and the military is almost completely separated from the imperial court. In this way, not to mention the top, but all the grassroots, middle-level, and a small number of senior generals come from the common people."

"Under such circumstances, do you think our royal family doesn't want all other rights, but only military power, can this country still be stable?" Li Ke asked with a smile, making Chang Lin and Qi Zilang tremble uncontrollably A bit of a problem.
