Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Cough cough... cough cough... Okay, you, no wonder Aye always said he was angry with you." Li Chengqian coughed a few times before saying.

"Hehe, brother, if you are really short of money, why don't we two conspire to do his best and defraud Aye out of his money? What do you think?"

Li Shen said with a smile.

"Swindling money out of your own money? I wouldn't dare, I'm not as bold as you.

If your mother finds out, you will be punished. If Aye finds out, you will be beaten.

You said what are you thinking about all day long? You still want to deceive Aye, I think you are crazy about money. "

Li Shen's words shocked Li Chengqian. This Li Shen really dared to do anything. Even thinking about such a thing would be a mistake.

"Humph, forget it if you don't want to do it. I already knew that if you don't want to do it, brother, I'll do it myself. I've been thinking of a perfect way. It's just that I haven't thought of it yet." Li Shen snorted.

He has been thinking about his father's little fortune for more than a day or two.

"You've already cheated a million dollars, and you're still not satisfied?"

"Hey? Hey? Brother, please be careful what you say. What is cheating? I borrowed it, okay? When I have money in the future, I will pay it back." Li Shen immediately corrected him.

It would be great if this reached his father's ears.

"Okay, what do you mean? Eat at my place later and then leave." Li Chengqian nodded perfunctorily.

Crown Princess Su immediately stood up and said:

"Yes, tenth brother, please leave after you finish your meal. I will make arrangements right away."

Li Shen immediately stood up and saluted:

"Then there's Sister Lao."

After Su left, Li Chengqian took Li Shen to the study.

Li Shen knew that Li Chengqian had something to say.

"Tenth brother, I heard Aye say that you want to deregister as a businessman? Why?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Ah, this matter is actually nothing. Brother, deportation is just an excuse for them to pay taxes." Li Shen said nonchalantly.

"But if you deregister, businessmen can become scholars, and then there will be a lot of money transactions in the officialdom. This is very unfavorable to the court." Li Chengqian frowned.

"Haha, brother, merchants and scholars have money transactions, so tell me which of these people who are scholars now has no property.

Don't talk about the petty officials in the prefectures and counties below taking advantage of their power for personal gain. Now there is no official of the fifth rank or above in Chang'an who has no property in his family and lives on his salary.

As for the Duke of Wei, who was said to be upright, his family had property. When he died, he refused to give me a generous burial, saying it was the last wish of Duke Wei.

It is said that he lived an honest life and was buried in such a shabby way to show off himself. The reward Aye gave him every year was enough for him to be an official for a hundred years. And his family's property.

Therefore, merchants becoming scholars just added a wave of people to compete with them for positions.

To us, it doesn't matter who is an official as long as he has talent and real knowledge.

Anyone who violates the law will be killed. As long as there are more scholars in the world, there will be no need for talent. "

This was the case during this period. Officials from aristocratic families and nobles in the imperial court had no family fortune.

This is especially true for local officials.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian pondered for a moment and said:

"However, there are indeed big drawbacks to allowing businessmen to rise."

“Brother, I didn’t say let businessmen rise, I just deregistered them, but businessmen should still be restrained.

It was impossible for them to develop and grow. The court needed to regulate the behavior of businessmen and legislate it.

They must be allowed to act within the rules set by the court. If they exceed the rules, they will be severely punished. "

Li Shen added that businessmen at this time actually didn’t have that many ideas.

Seeing Li Chengqian thinking deeply, Li Shen continued:

“Brother, there is no thousand-year dynasty or the royal family of EMI.

The longest dynasty in history is the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted for [-] years, with thirty-two generations and thirty-seven emperors.

How long did the remaining dynasties survive even if they suppressed business?

From the beginning of Shang Yang's reform to the present, every dynasty and every generation has deliberately suppressed businessmen. Legalist Han Feizi even identified businessmen as one of the five major cancers in the country.

But since merchants have existed for thousands of years and have never been extinct, it means that their existence must have significance to the world.

In a sense, business is an integral part of a country's strength.

The focus is on how to constrain and manage business development.

I actually don’t know much, but we can explore slowly and verify it over decades.

At least for the few decades that my little brother survives, it can be guaranteed that the businessman will not make any waves.

My little brother hopes that the Tang Dynasty will last forever, and that the Li family will rule the world. "

Li Shen didn't know if his idea was right, because he was not an expert. Even if he was an expert, he couldn't analyze the laws of nature.

Li Shen believes that the change of dynasties is actually the law of nature, survival of the fittest, and the law of the jungle.

Li Chengqian was completely shocked by Li Shen's words, which completely subverted some of the thoughts from ancient times.

Of course it was just a small part of his thoughts, but what shocked him was that his younger brother actually had so many thoughts.

No wonder he, Aye, always said that Lao Shi had something in his head and had to find ways to get it out, otherwise he would just keep silent and enjoy it for himself.

"Tenth brother, your idea really shocks me. Maybe you are right, but this matter cannot be realized overnight.

Wait for the elder brother to think about it carefully, and you should give him some more ideas of your own. Don't be jealous. "Li Chengqian said.

Li Shen smiled. He just had this idea. If he said it out, what would he do in the future?

How can I pretend to be an expert from this world?

"Brother, this is actually just my humble opinion. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, plus a soldier, are very important to me in the Tang Dynasty and they complement each other.

It would not be beneficial for any one to become dominant, and conversely, the decline of any one would not be conducive to the development of the Tang Dynasty.

This is about balance. "After speaking, Li Shen picked up the tea cup and drank the tea leisurely.

What he thought was that it was best to turn around and walk away at this time, with his long clothes fluttering and his immortal demeanor.

Add the following sentence: "Sleep peacefully, no glory, no shame, no worries." ’ That shows even more how free and easy you are.

Alas~~~~What a pity! !

"Your Majesty, the meal has been prepared. The Crown Princess invites King Ji to come and have a meal." At this time, a eunuch reported outside.

"Okay, I understand." Li Chengqian woke up from his deep thoughts and said outside.

Then he said to Li Shen who was holding the fork:

"Tenth brother, let's go and have a few more drinks with my eldest brother today. We brothers haven't drank together for a long time."

Li Shenyi frowned and said:

"Brother, didn't you drink in the palace when you came back? How can you say you haven't drank in a long time?"

"Hahahaha, I finally know why Aye beat you." Li Chengqian laughed.

"Why?" Li Shen asked with his eyes widened.

"Because big brother also wants to beat you."
