Chapter 1707: What will they do if they are dissatisfied?
I heard what Li Chengqian said.
Li Shimin also fell into silence.
If it had been anything else, Li Shimin would have agreed without even thinking about it.
But regarding this matter, Li Shimin felt that Li Chengqian's proposal was not appropriate.
One generation works hard, and several generations enjoy happiness.
This has been the default rule for everyone since ancient times.
Otherwise, who would be willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for you?
Li Shimin pursed his lips and said, "If it's true as you said, I'm afraid no one will be willing to serve the imperial court in the future..."
"If serving the imperial court is just for personal gain."
"I would rather not have these so-called people who serve the imperial court."
Li Chengqian raised his head and met Li Shimin's eyes, saying: "Perhaps in everyone's opinion, it is normal to serve as a minor official in the imperial court and let your descendants enjoy happiness."
"But Father, have you ever thought about it?"
"It's precisely because everyone thinks it's okay, that's the biggest problem."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you say that?"
"Let's put it this way."
"If my father were an ordinary citizen."
"And next to your house, this nobleman lives."
"If you work hard and work hard for a year, you will be able to support your family."
"Whether a son marries a wife or a daughter marries a man, you have to sell everything to make money."
Li Chengqian said: "But what about the man next door to you? He doesn't have to do anything. He just drinks and listens to music every day. The woman in the house can just wave at him. What do you think?"
"Of course I tried hard."
Li Shimin raised his head and said, "Whether I join the army or go into business, I have to find a way to survive for my descendants."
"That's right."
"You can do business or join the army if you want."
Li Chengqian said: "But if you are suppressed by the nobles when doing business, and if you join the army and cannot achieve military merit because it is a peaceful era, what should you do?"
"this……"
Li Shimin was speechless for a moment.
Li Chengqian is the successor He continued: "If at this time, in the county next to you, there is a new force that is ready to overthrow the current court, and promises that in the future, as long as it conquers the world, it will divide the princes, will you survive for the sake of future generations?
To participate?”
I heard these words from Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
Then I saw a change in Li Shimin's eyes.
Li Chengqian also struck while the iron was hot and continued: "From the current point of view, there is no conflict between the nobles and the common people of Li."
"But this is because these nobles are the founding nobles in the true sense."
"No matter how they enjoy it, it is all brought about by their reputation and merit."
"But what about their descendants?"
“Where are their descendants’ descendants?”
"If it were like Huailiang, Brother Chong, and Zhixing, these people would be fine."
"At least they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and everyone in the world has seen it."
"But what if the future is full of people like Yin Yuan, who has not made any meritorious service to the court, but still enjoys it with peace of mind and oppresses the people with peace of mind?"
"If my father were a commoner, would my father obey such a distinguished person?"
What Li Chengqian said was extremely easy to understand.
Even people who don't understand politics can feel the anger of the people.
"The people are water, and the king is the boat. The water can carry the boat but also capsize it."
"Father will probably not forget this truth, right?"
"If Minzhi wasn't on, everyone wouldn't think anything was wrong."
"But now, our Datang is in an era of rapid development."
"In the future, more people will be able to read and write, and understand the principles of the world."
"And when that time comes, will this privilege cause dissatisfaction among them?"
"And what will they do if they are dissatisfied? Will they overthrow the Tang Dynasty that we have worked so hard to build?"
The words fell.
Everyone at the scene looked at each other in shock.
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Li Shimin's face. After hearing what Li Chengqian said.
Li Shimin also fell into silence.
If it had been anything else, Li Shimin would have agreed without even thinking about it.
But regarding this matter, Li Shimin felt that Li Chengqian's proposal was not appropriate.
One generation works hard, and several generations enjoy happiness.
This has been the default rule for everyone since ancient times. .??.
Otherwise, who would be willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for you?
Li Shimin pursed his lips and said, "If it's true as you said, I'm afraid no one will be willing to serve the imperial court in the future..."
"If serving the imperial court is just for personal gain."
