"We don't need to mention this war again. You were ordered to retrieve the bones of those former Sui soldiers. It was a meritorious deed. I don't remember any war. As for the small conflict with the Koreans, I will forget it.
Come on, there are so many things in this world that we need to remember, but who can remember the smallest ripples?"
Yun Ye nodded in agreement. If the emperor said that this matter did not exist, then it definitely did not exist. He liked Li Er's decision to deal with it very much. He was also a gentleman in the academy after all. Carrying the name of a butcher was really not very nice, although
It is said that the eternal karma is all in killing people, so it is better to forget it and bear less notoriety.
"You don't have to go to the morning meeting tomorrow. I found that the cold wind is a good excuse. You can sell heads for forty guan each. It's really a good thing. Since everything that comes to you is clearly marked with a price
, You are innocent, you can think of something for me, Hou Junji and the others are about to attack Tuyuhun, if there are any extra heads then, you can help me sell them, forty guan, no matter the price."
Hearing that Li Er had exposed all his enemies, Yun Ye had no choice but to bow down and plead guilty. He knew that he could not hide it, but he was still surprised to hear Li Er's half-truth request for help.
"I'm really not joking with you. You still don't understand the value of forty guan. With this money, a family of five can live a prosperous life for ten years. If you continue to make a living, you will definitely have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.
Yes, I have never thought about why those merchants would pay such a high price for some empty titles without salary. If an enemy's head can be sold for forty dollars, I will sell it without hesitation. It's a pity.
I can only tell you brothers, not the court."
Li Er's emotion finally settled. Li Ke, who was most familiar with merchants, said respectfully: "Father, it's not difficult to understand. You are busy with documents all day long. Those merchants are a type of people you can't come into contact with. Children are different.
While dealing with internal government affairs, these merchants are the ones I deal with the most.
Father, I'm afraid you can't even imagine that merchants with a fortune of hundreds of thousands are no longer considered wealthy merchants in Chang'an. After the last restrictions and crackdowns on merchants, those merchants are gradually breaking away from the control of wealthy families, and some have already jumped out of this
The circle began to operate independently, and the wealthy and powerful families also began to take advantage of their superior conditions to do business. They would be ridiculed and criticized at home, so they went abroad, such as Goryeo, Silla, Baekje, Tuyuhun, Seoyantuo, and Zhaomujiu
The merchants of the Tang Dynasty appeared in all the countries with this surname. What’s more, from Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou, they went boating to the sea, as far as Shizi Country, and as far as the Black Country.
We purchase ivory, rhinoceros horn pearls, gems, corals, colored glaze, frankincense, ambergris and other spices at very low prices. We purchase tortoise shells and other items and then export them to the country. We also sell silk, paper, porcelain and other goods from the Tang Dynasty.
Crossing the ocean and going to farther places, father, please think about what a huge amount of money this is.
When a person is rich, he must seek identity and status. But in the world, the only one who can make people ascend to heaven or fall into the Nine Nether Hells is the Father. Among the rules you have established, military merit is the most important. Businessmen are not seeking benefits from the Father.
With their meager salary, what they need is an identity that can talk to high-ranking officials on an equal footing. Otherwise, with their status, meeting high-ranking officials is a luxury, let alone any communication between the two.
Therefore, the child was not surprised that Yun Ye sold a human head for forty guan. If the father needed to sell the human head for military merit, the child could easily do it. Those merchants are now like hungry wild dogs, giving them some meat.
You will move forward courageously."
Li Er looked at his third son in surprise and asked: "Isn't a hundred thousand dollars considered a wealthy businessman? How wealthy are these businessmen? I only see the increase in business taxes every year, but I don't think about the businessmen. Yun Ye, I'm afraid I'm going to die now."
We need to revise the business laws, and we can’t wait until two years later. After two years, maybe there will be wealthy businessmen with millions of dollars in our Tang Dynasty. This is not feasible and needs to be restricted.”
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Back to my father, after the new Kaiyuan money is released, your worries will be easily solved. The more wealthy people the better, and some new geographical development can only be achieved by such wealthy businessmen. As long as my father
The emperor held the coins firmly in his hands. No matter how big the wealthy businessmen were, they could not afford to make any trouble. Nowadays, money banks have become an indispensable gateway for long-distance transactions. All wealthy businessmen use them to conduct large transactions.
Zhang Zhang's money order, if we don't have this thing, my father, the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty are simply not enough, and can't even meet the 30% transaction requirement. Father, you see, such a piece of paper represents one hundred copper coins.
"
Li Er didn't say anything after taking the exquisite money order from Li Chengqian. He had seen a lot of this kind of thing and used it a lot, but he didn't associate it with controlling merchants.
"In the future, I will tell my father more about the secrets here. Now that we are in a period of change that has not happened in thousands of years, we will welcome these things with open arms, select the good ones to consolidate and improve, and eliminate the bad ones and flog them. If it is feasible, the great cause will be great."
Can be expected."
"Your Majesty, don't take these too seriously. Farming has been a means of making a living for our ancestors since ancient times. As the saying goes, if you have food at home, you will not panic. Although commerce will bring a lot of wealth to the country, farming is still the key to our country.
We dare not slack off on the first-class matters. In Weichen's opinion, the business in the Tang Dynasty was too prosperous, and the merchants traveled too far in order to seek novelty, novelty, and strangeness.
Don’t forget, the most basic thing that the currency issuance of the Tang Dynasty relies on is food, gold? Silver? Copper coins? These are all given value by us, and they have value. If we think there is too much gold tomorrow, we will not allow it.
When it becomes a symbol of wealth, it becomes nothing.
When there are more things, the price will drop. Of course, we can also throw the extra things into the sea and still maintain high prices. Does your Majesty still remember the past of glass? "
Li Er sat on an oxcart in the military camp and said thoughtfully: "I still remember the grand occasion of your glass auction that night. The money sold for a piece of glassware is thousands of dollars. But now, I am here."
When I see rich people buying the best porcelain in the market, they will buy glassware. It’s only been a few years.”
"So, Your Majesty, we all need to grope our way forward in the dark. These troubles have never been encountered by our predecessors. We can't see what will happen tomorrow. We can only guess that your courage is something that the previous emperors did not have."
Welcome the world with open arms, no suspicion, no suspicion, no self-isolation, I dare to say that the prosperous age of Zhenguan must be an unprecedented enlightened and glorious prosperous age. "
Li Er crossed his legs on the bullock cart, with a bright moon behind him. The bright moon happened to appear behind his head. The whole person looked like the Buddha in the mural. Yun Ye didn't know that Li Er
Whether it was intentional or unintentional to create such a grand scene, seeing Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke looking admiringly made me feel a little sick in my stomach.
"Boys, let me tell you a secret. I discovered that there is a great secret in this world. I will tell you tonight. I used myself as a model to summarize it. Do you know how a person can succeed? Don't tell me.
Diligence, intelligence, courage, etc., these can make you an excellent person, but they cannot make you a ruler.
When I was very young, I saw the former Sui emperor traveling in great force, with people shouting and cheering, and seeing those naked women dressed up and leading boats, minus the violent parts. You know what a spectacular scene it was, standing alone.
In the world, he pointed the country and regarded all the people in the world as stupid dogs. At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, in my opinion, he was really one of the world.
Xiang Yu said that he could replace him. Did you know that I also said this? Chai Shao was very envious, and Li Jiancheng felt very majestic. Only I! Li Shimin, thought that I could replace him!
From that time on, I was already a rebel. Even though I was still humble on the surface, I was already a rebel in my heart. Haha, from that time on, after that idea came up, there was an endless stream of followers around me.
Just like a snowball, it finally got to where it is now, and it cannot be moved by human power.
As long as you think, you can get it, as long as you think strongly, you can get it, hahaha, you can't believe it, my success is so simple.
Just take the first step and leave the rest to God. He will take you to the pinnacle of success. Therefore, I will always only take the first step. As long as the first step is correct, the rest will be taken care of.
Heaven will help you complete it. You are the closest children to me. Each of you has great ambitions, and each of you has the courage and wisdom to match it. Then do it. If one day your ideal and my wish become
Don’t be polite when there is conflict, boys, let’s try to see who is God’s favorite!”
Yun Ye's mouth was about to drop to the sky. He was coercing, motivating, intimidating, and then playing the emotional card. Only then did he realize that he couldn't control these people. Is it too late?
Seeing the three brothers kneeling down and claiming that they didn't dare, Yun Ye raised his hands high and said loudly: "It's none of my business. I plan to go back to Yushan to raise pigs tomorrow. My ideal is to be like a pig.
Live, I told myself this just now, and I plan to do this, don't count me in your grand ideal."
After saying this, Yun Ye ran away immediately. Li Tai, who was kneeling on the ground, also felt that he had been wronged. He jumped up from the ground and said loudly: "It's none of my business, I just want to be a wise emperor! Yun Ye
Ye, wait for me."
Li Ke, who was always slow in thinking, also thought clearly at this time, and said to the emperor: "Father, please discuss this matter with my elder brother. Your ideals are relatively close. I just want to find a lot of beauties.
There’s a lot of money, I’ll go find them both.” After that, he ran away.
The beads of sweat on Li Chengqian's forehead were dripping down, and even the gods could not help him at this time.
Looking at the embarrassed eldest son, Li Er helped him up and said with a smile: "Very good, the three of them can run, and they can run cleanly. The excuse may seem ridiculous, but in fact it is all from the heart, come on, come on,
We, father and son, had a good talk and said..."
ps: Li Er’s remarks in the first section are based on the book "Secret", which will be available on Baidu. It is an excellent book. I heard that there is a video now. Interested book friends can take a look. It is really
