Chapter 381 The purpose of printing the "Wealth List"

"Of course it's not good. I need money to train the navy. Will you pay half of the military expenses and military rations?" Li Er said.

Li Feng suddenly said with dissatisfaction: "Of course not. Such a big battleship needs at least one million guan. This time I will build three ships, that is 3 million guan, and then a merchant ship. This cargo ship is no smaller than a battleship. Then my

The money can only build three warships and seven merchant ships?"

Li Er said solemnly: "Isn't such a large merchant ship enough?"

"How is it possible? Forget it, I will suffer a small loss if I suffer a little loss, but I will account for 90% of the profits from the sea in the future."

"No problem, remember to pay taxes, and you have to talk to Tang Jian about this matter."

"No, I am the Minister of Household Affairs. I have the right to decide."

"Okay, once you get it, you get it. You should be responsible for this. I hope you can make a lot of money."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I will hand over the design drawings of this warship to the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works will send people to discuss shipbuilding with you. You can ask the people from the Ministry of Works for any manpower you want."

"Don't worry, with your words, I will definitely make the Ministry of Industry bleed."

"As long as you have the ability."

"Just wait and see."

Li Er rolled his eyes at Li Feng and said, "He Jin, you can also join in. In addition, it is decided that He Yong will become Li Feng's apprentice. You can just take He Yong to find Li Feng to become his apprentice tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You should step back first." Li Er said.

"I excuse myself." He Jin slowly left Feixiang Hall.

After Li Er waited for He Jin to leave, he took the "Wealth List" and said, "Li Feng, what is your purpose in printing this "Wealth List"?"

"I just want to let everyone know that it's easy to be famous. You don't have to rely on a family. You can make money, start a business, or learn a skill.

Haven't you noticed that there are many celebrities profiled in the magazine, many of whom are ordinary people?

At the same time, and the most important point, I want the people to slowly attract wealth from aristocratic families.

In the past, everyone was afraid of aristocratic families and took refuge in aristocratic families, because aristocratic families have big families and big businesses, but I want to tell others that there are many people with big families and big businesses.

The Five Surnames and Seven Sects may still be in the rankings this year, but they may be replaced by the Zhang family and the Qian family next year. In a few years, people will no longer talk about them.

The people of the Bolingcui clan can no longer be arrogant. But Lao Li, this matter requires the court's cooperation."

Li Er thought for a while and said, "How do you want the court to cooperate?"

"It's very simple. The children of businessmen can also take the scientific examination. Currently, those who can take the scientific examination are all people from aristocratic families, and the rest are students from poor families.

Businessmen do not have this qualification. I don’t know what the court’s concerns are, but I know that many officials are doing business whether overtly or covertly.”

Li Erdao: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance, and Wei Zheng may be the first to jump out and oppose it."

Wei Zheng is a difficult guy, and most people are no match for him.

Li Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll do everything for you. Even if it's Wei Zheng, I'll be speechless."

"I'm afraid that if Wei Zheng threatens me with death, my reputation will be ruined." Li Er said worriedly.

Li Feng smiled again and said: "It's easy to deal with Wei Zheng. Why don't you issue a decree to commend Wei Zheng today?"

"Praise Wei Zheng? Why, I don't agree." Li Er said with a reluctant expression.

"Second brother." Changsun glanced at Li Er complainingly.

Officials would be chilled if they heard this.

Li Er quickly smiled awkwardly at his eldest grandson, then glared at Li Feng and said, "You tell me, there is nothing to praise Wei Zheng?"

Li Feng sighed and said: "Old Li, do you know that there are three mirrors in life?"

"Which three sides?" Li Er became interested.

Li Feng said: "The three mirrors are bronze mirror, ancient mirror and human mirror."

Li Er frowned and asked: "I know about bronze mirrors and ancient mirrors, but what is a human mirror? What are the meanings of these three mirrors?"

Li Feng immediately replied: "Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; using ancient times as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; using people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses."

Lao Li, as an emperor, you not only have to dress appropriately, but you also have to know the ups and downs, and more importantly, know the gains and losses.

And Wei Zheng is your best mirror, he can let you know what you should do and what shouldn't be done. If you don't cherish such a person by your side, forget it. If you still dislike him so much, you will be despised by others. "

"Let's see who dares." Li Erlong stared, his fierce face made him feel like he was not allowed to approach strangers.

"Ahem..." Changsun coughed a few times.

Li Er burst into tears and smiled, saying: "It deserves commendation, it deserves commendation."

Li Feng pursed his lips and snickered.

Li Er glared at him and asked unhappily: "What should we do next?"

"Tell me about your use of Wei Zheng as a mirror, and leave the rest to me."

"Okay, you can go to court tomorrow. Just yesterday, Li Jing and Qin Qiong signed a joint statement. The Firearms Bureau has successfully developed red cannons, as well as muskets and grenades.

You have to participate in this matter. I don’t trust other people." Li Er said.

Li Feng nodded solemnly. Regarding firearms, Li Feng also attached great importance to it.

"Okay, you go back first, and don't forget to go to court tomorrow."

"yes."

When Li Feng left the palace, he saw He Jin at the door, seemingly waiting for him.

As soon as he took two steps, He Jin came over and saluted, saying: "See the Marquis of Lantian."

"Master He, there is no need to be polite, are you waiting for me?" Li Feng said somewhat narcissistically.

He Jin immediately nodded and said, "Exactly, my Yong'er."

Li Feng stretched out a hand and said: "Your Majesty has given the order, and I will accept him as my disciple, and I will treat everyone equally without any favoritism."

"Thank you so much, Lord Marquis. Why don't you go sit in the house so that you two, master and disciple, can meet each other?" He Jin said.

Li Feng thought for a while and said: "That's fine, I have nothing to do now anyway."

So the two went to He Mansion. He Mansion's mansion was close to the West Market, and Li Feng knew that this way he could better manage the three major listed companies.

"Boom."

As soon as I arrived at He Mansion, I heard an explosion.

Li Feng immediately frowned and said, "Why do you have gunpowder in your house?"

He Jin immediately explained: "I'm sorry, I don't know about the gunpowder. Yong'er is refining the elixir. The furnace must have exploded again. This is the third furnace this month."

"He Yong likes to make alchemy?" Li Feng was a little surprised. The sound just now sounded too much like the sound of gunpowder exploding.

"Cough cough cough..."

At this time, a man with shaggy hair, a dark face, and torn clothes ran out. The man coughed as he ran, and finally started coughing violently outside the lobby.

"Bastard, look at what you look like now, why don't you go get organized and meet your mentor." He Jin shouted angrily.

"Mentor?" He Yong showed his white teeth, "Dad, who is he? My mentor can only be the current Marquis of Lantian, Li Feng."
