Chapter 23 What is great wisdom!
Chapter 23 What is great wisdom!
"Do what you should do and have a clear conscience! Haha! The son-in-law said it well!"
"But, even if what you said is correct, what is the connection with your business of giving up the salt on your own initiative?
Do dynasties also need to iterate?”
"Or, you have never thought of developing into a noble family, son-in-law?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice, and his eyes looked at Xu Tian, and he changed to scrutiny again.
What is most lacking in this world is open-minded people. What they lack is only people with great ambitions. If Xu Tianzhen only wants to live a plain life, Li Shimin would not be able to force it.
"Father-in-law, in your eyes, only a salt business can make money?
Can we ensure that a family of aristocratic families will remain prosperous?”
"You are wrong. There are no eternal and unchanging dynasties in this world, and naturally there are no eternal and unchanging businesses!"
"This fine salt can make a lot of money and bring great disasters!"
Xu Tian said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Li Shimin immediately became interested and said, "Haha! Son-in-law, your words have made your father interested. What kind of disaster will the salt business bring?"
"Father-in-law, I sell fine salt at low prices. The people have benefited from it and live in peace and contentment. The court has been stable and prosperous. If this continues, the court will become stronger and stronger, and my descendants will become richer and richer!"
“But who can guarantee that my descendants will be like me?
What if some of them are so concerned about the interests of the salt, they will raise the price of fine salt?”
"If the prices of cloth, firewood, etc. are raised, it will have little impact on the people. Salt and food are closely related to the lives of the people!"
"If someone tampered with it, it would inevitably be extremely public anger, and it would also have an impact on the dynasty, which would inevitably arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction! There have been similar things in all dynasties. The final result is that the family is confiscated and the clan is exterminated!"
"And, as I just said, I cannot guarantee that my descendants have the same talents as me. The salt business is profitable and will be coveted by other nobles of aristocrats. They will be conspired and plotted against, and they will be unpredictable!"
"At that time, this salt business will become a death talisman for my descendants of the Xu family!"
"Instead of this, it is better to make a lot of money when I am alive and send out the salt business before I die, so that I can gain a good reputation. In this way, I can protect my descendants of the Xu family without worries."
"Take it away! Only with giving it away can you gain it! That's the reason."
Xu Tian said in a deep voice.
Be willing to give up!
Only with giving up can you gain!
Li Shimin's eyes changed when he looked at Xu Tian. This kid is really a wise man!
"My son-in-law is right. As the saying goes, every man is innocent and he is guilty of possessing a treasure. This fine salt business is like a beautiful treasure jade. If the descendants are incompetent, not only will they not be able to defend it, but they will cause trouble instead!"
Fang Xuanling nodded in praise.
"It's a pity that I don't know the current saint. Otherwise, I could help the current saint to plan a way that can pass on the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, or even eternal!"
Xu Tian suddenly sighed.
kindness!
Li Shimin was stunned. Didn’t this guy just say that there is no eternal dynasty in the world?
Why do you say that there is such a method now?
Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin also stared at Xu Tian. Did this kid do it on purpose just now just to curse His Majesty in person?
"Haha! Son-in-law, please tell me quickly. If it is practical, let me mention it to Your Majesty when I go back!"
Li Shimin said with a smile.
"Father-in-law, it's useless to say it. This method cannot be done overnight. It takes a long time to manage it. It requires loyal assistance from several emperors of the Tang Dynasty and the civil and military officials of the dynasty and work together to achieve it."
Xu Tian said in a deep voice.
He said this, Li Shimin became more interested, and he said, "A son-in-law, boldly say that as long as it is practical, the emperor may make the emperor issue an imperial edict and leave a legacy so that his descendants can do what you said!"
hehe!
Xu Tian looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you are too confident. What I said is not until the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion go together to advise Your Majesty, and your Majesty must agree happily, and resist the opposition and make all civil and military officials in the world surrender, so that they can do it."
hiss!
When Li Shimin heard what Xu Tian said, he took a breath. It was not difficult for him to agree. It was a bit difficult to get all the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion to agree!
Not to mention anything else, Wei Zheng alone is a thorny person, and he must have just had a fight with him.
In addition, it is even more difficult to convince all the officials of the Tang Dynasty!
However, the more Xu Tian said this, the more Li Shimin wanted to know.
"Son-in-law, no matter how difficult this matter is, you have to say it first. If you can't say it, will the emperor agree now?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Father-in-law, since you don't give up, then I'll say that first, that is, you must pay attention to education!"
"The current education system of our Tang Dynasty is not unified enough. As long as you are a scholar, you can open academies, academies, and teach and educate people!"
"Among these people, if there is a person with a rebellious mind on his head, he will convey the concept of rebellion to his children when he teaches. Will these children also want to rebel when they grow up?"
"People who read books are mostly stubborn and narrow-minded, and when thinking about things, they are self-centered!"
"In the prefecture where he is, officials were treacherous and robbed people of the people. He believed that all the people in power in the Tang Dynasty were like this. He scolded those in power all day long, and his disciples would also have prejudice against those in power!"
"The most important thing is that when these people are studying, they learn that they have their own golden houses and their own Yan Ruyu. Their purpose of reading is to one day become officials!"
"I ask, how can my Tang Dynasty court be filled with such scholars last for a long time?"
"Therefore, today's emperor should unify books and customize them specifically for the children of my Tang Dynasty. The content is mainly patriotic education, and cultivate children's patriotic concepts from an early age!"
"Secondly, the unified academies and academies are not allowed to be opened privately, but the court pays to establish schools, and allows children to enter school at a low price!"
"At the same time, changing the hierarchy system of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, as long as children of appropriate age can go to school to study, and after graduation, they can all participate in the imperial examination!"
Xu Tian said in a deep voice.
hiss!
What Xu Tian said made Li Shimin so shocked that he couldn't speak. Fang Xuanling was completely paralyzed. Not to mention the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion and His Majesty agreed, all the civil and military officials in the court agreed, and the five surnames, seven hopes, gentry, and scholars in the world would not agree!
Even if they all agreed, how many poor people in the world would send their children to school to learn knowledge?
