Chapter 178: Wonderful thinking

Wei Renshi took a leave of absence to Chongwenguan. When he returned home, Gou Er and Ma Weilong had already prepared things.

One night passed, and the three of them left the house early in the morning and prepared to set off.

Wei Renshi was unwilling to bring many followers, so he only brought them the two of them.

When I came out, the crazy Taoist man in the corner of the wall was gone, and I was much more pleasant outside the door.

The carriage drove out of the side door and reached outside the gate. Wei Renshi was about to go up, but suddenly he saw a horse rushing over from the street and in the blink of an eye, he approached.

He immediately jumped off a palace guard and immediately bowed his fists and said, "Your Majesty has an order to summon the man in Wei County to the palace for a lecture."

Wei Renshi was stunned. He was about to set off, but why was he suddenly summoned?

This is also helpless. At that moment, the two of them can wait for themselves first and then follow the guards toward the palace.

With the leadership of the imperial guards, when passing the Zhuque Gate, there was no need to be delayed by the prison guards. He went straight into the palace. Soon, he met Li Shi.

Unexpectedly, Li Chun was there too.

Wei Renshi knew that Li Chun would definitely come back to report what happened yesterday to Li Shi. The unexpected thing was that Li Shi asked Li Chun to report it but not leave, and asked him in front of him.

Except for these two people, there is no one else in the hall.

Wei Renzhen saw the courtesy, and Li Shi asked straight to the point: "Chun'er took 5,000 guan to become a member. Why don't you charge? You have to reduce it a lot? In this way, Chun'er's income will be much less. Although he nominally earns himself to become a member and earns some money, in the end he earns not his own, but keeps it for great use. Naturally, the more he earns, the better."

Wei Renshi then took out yesterday's remarks and told Li Shi. He just didn't mention Gongshi, and only said that this would allow some restrictions.

After saying that, Li Shi could understand the joints. After a pause, he suddenly asked again: "I heard that you mentioned Gongshi yesterday. Why, what do you think of Gongshi?"

Wei Renshi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Li Chun.

Unexpectedly, Li Chun was also shocked, obviously with a look of shock and surprise.

"You don't have to go see Chun'er, it's not what he told me." Li Shi smiled and said, "I said I will send someone to stare at you."

Wei Renshi felt a little nervous and wanted to give up the job on the spot.

Perhaps seeing the dissatisfaction in Wei Renshi's eyes, Li Shi smiled again and said, "Don't worry, the people I sent are responsible for and will not monitor you too much. Yesterday, I just heard you talk about the palace and market by chance. I felt that what I said made some sense, so I reported it to me."

Only if I believe in you can there be a ghost.

Wei Renshi's face was silent, but his heart began to quickly become alert.

When we mentioned the palace market yesterday, Fan Zhiyi and the others had already left. The only people present at that time were Li Chun, Li Chun's entourage, and a few of their own servants.

The servants in his family were from Huang's house before and had no connection with the court. Even if Li Shi bought them a few days later, it would have been too fast.

As for Li Chun, Wei Renshi did not think he would pass on this to Li Shi.

It is very likely that there were people who were placed by Li Shi in Li's entourage.

After all, Li Chun will have many contacts with him in the future. Li Shi has so much suspicion that it is also very likely to put people in Li Chun's side.

For a while, Wei Renshi really couldn't find out.

But he heard Li Shi ask, "Do you think the palace market is wrong?"

Wei Renshi had to calm down for the time being, nodded, and replied: "I don't think that Gongshi is wrong, but Gongshi's behavior of destroying rules is wrong."

"Tell me in detail." Li Shi stared at Wei Renshi and said.

"Selling, buying, buying, selling, since ancient times, it has always followed a value equivalent. I would not spend ten thousand cents to buy a thatched cottage, but I would spend ten thousand cents to buy a house. If I had used the money that could only buy a thatched cottage and bought a house worth ten thousand cents to buy a house worth ten thousand cents, could I buy it?"

Li Shi didn't say anything. Li Chun looked at Li Shi and then answered from the side: "Of course I can't buy it."

"But if I force myself to buy a house with some means and forcefully at the price of a thatched cottage, it will destroy its due rules." Wei Renshi looked at Li Chun with gratitude and continued: "This is how the behavior of the palace city is. This has caused public grievances. If the palace city can buy things for the palace through normal trading, it will be just a big customer. The merchants are rushing to do business with it, so why would they complain?"

"I naturally know that there are people in the palace city who are taking advantage of it." Li Shi said: "However, the palace city has saved me a lot of money."

God saves money!

It turns out that he is a foolish monarch who cannot be cleaned up.

Wei Renshi sighed.

I wanted to save money to deal with the feudal states, but I used the loss of the people's hearts as the price.

This operation is also amazing.

The idea is really stunning.

hehe!

"Your Majesty's thoughts know. In fact, you can achieve the same result by using some other means and methods, and it will not cause public grudges in the palace." Wei Renshi said.

"Let me tell me." Li Shi leaned back, found a comfortable position, and said.

"The reason why Gongshi caused public grievances is that it robs the people, and the value it paid is far lower than the value it took from the people and the merchants." Wei Renshi said: "If you want to solve it, you only need the value it paid by Gongshi is equivalent to the value it took from the merchants, and the merchants will not complain. If the value it paid is higher than the value it took from the merchants, then those merchants will rush to cooperate with Gongshi, so how can there be any resentment?"

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to pay value with money, it can be exchanged for something else." Wei Renshi continued: "For example, reputation."

"Reputation?" Li Shi and Li Chun looked at Wei Renshi in discomfort.

"Not bad." Wei Renshi said: "It's just a name of reputation and honor. For example, what needs to be purchased by the Palace Market, it will announce to the public that if there is a business that provides both cheap and easy to use, it will be awarded the title exclusively for the royal family, and in the future it will only buy this kind of thing from him."

"I think the news comes out that those businesses that operate such things will fight to cut down their own prices and strive to make themselves the ones that sell their things to the Miyagi."

Li Shi frowned and said, "I don't quite understand. Just a title, how can these merchants rush to lower their selling price?!"
