"Brother Six, please try this dish quickly. Although it doesn't look good, it tastes very good." Li Zhi chewed the so-called whale meat and said vaguely. It can be seen that this dish should be

It was very to his liking. Not only did he eat it, but he also tried his best to ask Li Min to taste it too.

"No, you can eat it yourself. I still like to eat fish." Li Min lowered his head and picked up the carp, pretending to like it very much and said.

"Hey, brother Liu, don't you always like to eat fish? And aren't whales and carps both fish?" Li Zhi asked casually while eating. He was usually tired of eating delicacies from all over the world, but now he suddenly ate Zhang Liu's

The home-cooked food naturally felt very fresh and delicious, so I ate it alone and didn't notice anything unusual about Li Min.

"Whales are not fish, they are..." Li Min just wanted to explain whales and mammals, but when he thought that the problem was a bit complicated, he simply changed his mind and said: "Whales are from the sea, and they have a fishy smell. I don't like it very much, but this carp does

The ones are very fresh and tender, Sister-in-law Zhang is really good at her craftsmanship!"

Hearing Li Min's praise, Mrs. Zhang Liu was also very happy. After telling the two brothers to eat well, she and her mother-in-law took their children into the kitchen, but the two children kept staring at the food on Li Min's table and swallowing it.

Drooling, he finally pulled them into the kitchen, and then the family of four set up a small table to eat.

Li Min took a look at them when they weren't paying attention, and found that the two adults were nibbling a kind of black steamed bun, while the two children ate a white steamed bun each, and drank millet porridge, but it was obviously much thinner than theirs, with bright bowls.

It can be used as a mirror, and there is also a plate of green vegetables on the table, but there is no oily smell in the vegetables, which makes people feel a little sad just looking at it.

He squeezed Li Zhi, who was eating enthusiastically, with his shoulder and asked him to take a look at the situation in the kitchen. As a result, Li Zhi felt that the delicious food he had just eaten suddenly lost its taste. He looked at the half-eaten meal in his hand.

I couldn't eat the steamed buns, but I felt a little uncomfortable when I put them down. I looked at Li Min a little at a loss.

"You can eat whatever you want. It's up to others. The more you eat, the happier they will feel!" Li Min knew the psychology of lower-class people like Zhang and Liu very well, so he said this to Li Zhi.

.

But even though he said that, Li Zhi lowered his head and ate the steamed buns in his hands, but he couldn't eat any more. Li Min didn't feel like Li Zhi did, so he lowered his head and ate most of the dishes on the table.

Although the ingredients of several dishes were ordinary, they tasted pretty good, making him feel like eating home-cooked food. He also drank two bowls of millet porridge.

After eating and saying goodbye, Li Min and Li Zhi still walked back slowly. The day was long now, the sunset was still hanging in the western sky and the pedestrians on the street were not in a hurry to go home. They were in groups.

Invite friends and get into the nearby wine shop to drink and have fun.

"Ninth brother, what do you think after today's interview?" Li Min looked at the passers-by and asked with a smile.

"Brother Six, after seeing the situation in Zhang Liu's family, you can still laugh now?" Li Zhi rolled his eyes at him and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Ninth brother, don't just look at things on the surface. In your eyes and mine, the life in Zhang Liu's family is indeed very poor, but you have to think about it in reverse. They only have a weak woman, Zhang Liu, to support them.

With my monthly salary, I can still

Feeding a family of four is much better than her previous days of not having enough to eat. This is enough to show that with the development of industry and commerce, it has brought a lot of benefits to these poor people." Li Min pretended to be like an elder brother.

Look, he gave a serious lesson.

Although Li Zhi is smart, he is still a child after all, and it is relatively simple to see things. After hearing Brother Six's explanation, he thought about it carefully and said with great admiration: "Brother Six's words really make sense. I miss my Datang Factory a lot."

, there are countless workers in the factory. Although not every worker can get wages like Zhang and Liu, the difference must be limited. Based on this calculation, industry and commerce can support almost tens of millions of people. It is indeed worthy of being said.

You can’t be rich without work, and you can’t live without business.”

"Well, yes, industry and commerce can not only allow a few people to gather a lot of wealth, but also have an extremely important impact on the vast number of poor people. The most direct change is that it gives them one more way to survive.

Work to earn enough money to support yourself and your family

The remuneration is even more generous than the most traditional farming. It is precisely because of this that the number of farmers in Datang is gradually decreasing, while the number of industrial and commercial people is increasing rapidly." Li Min nodded and said, the topic unknown.

The consciousness turned to the population struggle between industry, commerce and agriculture.

"Brother Six, I heard that the method of land replacement and the promotion of coarse seeds was to deal with the problem of reduced grain production in the Tang Dynasty. It seems that some people are already dissatisfied with the development of industry and commerce?" Although Li Zhi is young, he is

Prince, there will be someone in the palace to explain to him the policies of the imperial court, but he didn't pay attention to it before. Now after personal experience and conversation with Li Min, he finally remembered it.

Li Min also hoped that Li Zhi could see the importance of industry and commerce. When he heard him ask this question, he patiently told the story of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes suppressing industry and commerce, and also analyzed in detail the relationship between industry, commerce and agriculture.

Opposition and complementarity.

At a young age, Li Zhi never thought that behind the surface land replacement and the promotion of rough seeding methods, there was such a complicated hidden secret. At the same time, he also never thought that the jovial Sixth Brother in his impression had actually already

With the power to influence the general trend of the world.

"Sixth Brother, is the Five Surnames and Qi Wang really that scary? As the emperor, my father can decide life or death with just one word. Why not use force to destroy these disobedient families like the Five Surnames and Qi Wangs?" Li Zhi

After hearing this, he said angrily that through today's interview with Zhang Liu's family, Li Zhi saw the changes that industry and commerce have brought to poor families, so he was full of good impressions of industry and commerce. As for the opposing Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, they naturally became

He became the villain in his mind.

"Haha, Ninth Brother, it would be great if things were really as you said." Li Min touched Li Zhi's head, showing a wry smile and said, "Five surnames and seven look at these big aristocratic families, entrenched in the Central Plains.

For hundreds or even thousands of years, their relationships and favors have been intertwined in the entire society, and their influence is almost unimaginable. Taking all the officials in the Tang Dynasty as an example, some

Two to three percent are directly from these aristocratic families, and of the remaining seventy to eighty percent, at least half have deep relationships and origins with these aristocratic families. Therefore, the father can use troops aggressively externally, but when dealing with domestic affairs,

But we have to be cautious, as for tough measures, it is even more impossible, unless my father dares to shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty!"

After listening to Li Min's explanation, Li Zhi fell silent thoughtfully. Although there were some joints that he still couldn't quite understand, he finally understood from Sixth Brother's words how terrifying the powerful families of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes were, and at the same time he understood.

Why would my father spare no effort to attack these wealthy families?

Seeing Li Zhi meditating like a little adult, Li Min also sighed softly, letting a ten-year-old child understand that these may be a bit cruel, but as a prince, these things he will have to face sooner or later, no matter he

Whether you want to be emperor or not, you will inevitably have to deal with aristocratic families in the future, and because of their origins, they are naturally on opposite sides. It is not a bad thing to know more about the strength of your opponent.

"By the way, Ninth Brother, was the whale meat you ate today delicious?" Li Min knew that Li Zhi would not be able to fully understand the meaning of his words in a short period of time, so he might as well wait for him to go back and think about it slowly.

So he started to change the topic.

"Eh? Whale meat?" Li Zhi didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before thinking of the dish made by Zhang Liu. He was a little puzzled and replied with some aftertaste: "It's quite delicious!"

"Is it really delicious?" A playful smile flashed across Li Min's face. Li Zhi had eaten all the large bowl of whale meat just now, which saved the two children of the Zhang Liu family.

After all, Li Zhi was a child at heart, so his attention was easily diverted by Li Min, and he said with certainty: "Of course it's delicious! By the way, Sixth Brother, I also want to ask you, what do you think of Zhang Liu's whale meat?"

Is it different from what you brought last time? Although it looks a little different, it tastes pretty good and the fishy smell is much less. Is it the new canned whale meat in Dengzhou? Where can I buy it? "

Seeing the greedy look on Li Zhi's face, Li Min shook his head sympathetically, patted his shoulder and said: "Ninth brother, do you still remember what I said to you when I showed you how to make ice with saltpeter?

?”

"Ice made from saltpeter?" Li Zhi looked reminiscing, but he soon thought that because he didn't know that ice was made from saltpeter, he ate it and ended up having diarrhea for several days. At that time, the sixth brother made sarcastic remarks.

, tell yourself not to eat randomly, otherwise big problems will definitely occur.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi's face turned pale, and he immediately had a bad premonition, and stammered: "Liu...Brother Liu, don't you want to tell me that there is something wrong with Zhang Liu's whale meat?"

"Ahem~, so what... It's not Zhang Liu's fault. She also means well, but she doesn't know that it can't be considered real whale meat." Li Min also said a little embarrassed. After all, this

He is also responsible for this matter, because the whale meat made by Zhang Liu is actually a kind of canned food produced in Dengzhou. Of course, although this kind of canned food is marked as whale meat, in essence, it can only be regarded as...

A mixed meat dish.

"Brother Six, what do you mean, what is not real whale meat?" Seeing Li Min's face, Li Zhi felt even worse.
