Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li You quickly helped him up, and said solemnly: "Hongzhi, all I can do is express my opinion, and give you a chance. How much you can do depends on you."

"I've set up the stage for you. How you want to sing this play depends on you."

Then Li You told Nanshi's plan this time.

"Nanshi will be the most lively and important market in Chang'an in the future, and it will also be an opportunity for the Langya Wang family to integrate resources in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Right now, although the land and manpower in the south are divided among the major families, there is still a great opportunity to stand up again in business by relying on the foundation and connections of the Langya Wang family."

"As long as you can continuously sell Jiangnan's products to all parts of the country through Nanshi, and establish a business cluster with the Langya Wang family as the core, then this is the capital you will use to fight against the coercion of the Taiyuan Wang family."

"At that time, as long as a few of you can enter the imperial court, you can easily fight against Taiyuan Wang."

"You can also see that now the Wang family in Taiyuan is actually the only one who can speak up in the court."

"Besides, Wang Gui is already old!"

Every time Li You said a word, Wang Hongzhi nodded, and after Li You finished speaking, Wang Hongzhi had already seen the picture Li You had drawn for him.

"King Yan, you are right. After I go back today, I will meet the elders of the clan."

"We have missed it in the past, but we will not give up this opportunity."

"Besides, isn't it just for business? The Wang family used to be in business. They were too happy to be able to lock down the important port of Nanshi in advance!"

Hearing this, Li You also laughed.

"It turns out that Hong Zhi had already made plans, and let me persuade you so earnestly!"

Wang Hongzhi also laughed and said: "If it wasn't for shaking his head just now, how could Hongzhi have heard the kind words of the prince!"

"I also hope that the prince will make amends, and Hong Zhi will accept the punishment!"

Li You nodded heavily: "Okay, let's go to the food court to have a big meal later, and the king will punish you to pay the bill tonight."

Wang Hongzhi touched his wallet, and the smiling face just now turned into a wry smile.

"My lord, please forgive me, I haven't even warmed up this month's salary!"

In the next three days, Li You quietly visited Duan Lun, Dou Dan and Chai Shao again, and prepared sufficient supplies for his Nanshi.

He planned to use Nanshi as a new fulcrum to reintegrate Datang's business layout.

After everything was done, Li You entered the palace again.

In this big game of chess, there is still a very important step. Only after taking this step well, can Li You be absolutely sure.

On this trip, the purpose of Li You's coming to Li Shimin was to allow Li Shimin to allow the merchant's children to take the imperial examination.

For this reason, Li You also solemnly explained the businessman's role in promoting Datang's economy and his plan to reduce the influence of the aristocratic family through commercial circulation.

In Li You's view, the reason why the aristocratic family can have power comparable to the imperial power in the local area depends largely on three points.

The first is the ownership of land, the second is the monopoly of knowledge, and the third is because of the isolation of these territories.

As for land, the Tang Dynasty owned a lot of land throughout the country through wars. As long as the Ministry of Households did not slack off, the imperial court did not need to look at the face of the aristocratic family on the land.

In terms of education, under the promotion of Kong Yingda, the monopoly of the aristocratic family is also being broken.

However, if the area is blocked, it will be difficult to completely rely on external forces to break through.

On the contrary, as long as business is vigorously developed, those profit-seeking businessmen will spontaneously break through the geographical barriers.

And to stimulate the enthusiasm of merchants, the best way is to improve the status of merchants.

After Li You finished speaking his thoughts, he looked at Li Shimin seriously.

However, Li Shimin's expected expression of frowning and deep thought did not appear. On the contrary, Li Shimin had an extremely weird smile on his face.

Finally, after the two looked at each other for a long time, Li Shimin couldn't hold back anymore.

"Haha, Yu'er, it turns out that you are not omniscient."

"The Tang Dynasty did not stipulate that the sons of merchants cannot take the imperial examination!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Li You was instantly stunned.

[What, didn’t the Sui and Tang Dynasties prohibit merchants and those whose relatives were businessmen within three generations from participating in the imperial examinations! 】

[Isn't Li Taibai very depressed because he couldn't take the imperial examination for this reason! 】

[Now Li Er told me that there is no such regulation, isn't that lying to me! 】

Seeing Li You's suspicious eyes, Li Shimin laughed again and said, "Don't be suspicious, remember the "Law of Zhenguan" that I gave you a few days ago?"

"Prior to this, the Tang Dynasty did not promulgate any laws on the imperial examinations, and what is implemented now is just the old system of the former Sui Dynasty."

"And in the opening chapter of this new "Zhenguan Law", it is stated that all the people of my Tang Dynasty have equal rights, including the imperial examination!"

"By the way, this one was proposed by Professor Zhang Youyu!"

"Why, he didn't tell you?"

Hearing this, Li You came to a sudden realization, and then said with a guilty face: "Please forgive me, Father, I have been dizzy these days, and I haven't read "The Law of Zhenguan" carefully."

"After I go back, my son must read it carefully!"

Thinking of the integration of many Zhang Youyu's viewpoints into this law, Li You couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, and thought of another question.

[I don’t know if Professor Zhang Youyu has put forward the idea of ​​equal rights between men and women? 】

[If this law really contains this article, then my strategy can be completely changed. 】

[Starting with daughters and children, wouldn't the problem be much simpler. 】

However, when Li You looked at Li Shimin expectantly, before he could speak, Li Shimin shook his head repeatedly and said, "I know what you're thinking, although what Professor Zhang Youyu said has his reasons, it's still too shocking." .I didn’t ask them to point it out!”

"However, I remember that the Law of Zhenguan said that the people of the Tang Dynasty have equal rights, the people of the Tang Dynasty, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Li You chewed it carefully, and suddenly came to his senses.

[Li Er is really an old fox. He said that the people of the Tang Dynasty have already talked about equal rights for men and women. 】

[No matter what happens in the future, as long as there are women who grasp this point, they can stand on the commanding heights of the Basic Law to solve the problem. 】

[Anyway, for the imperial court, if there is no written statement that can be done, it cannot be done. 】

[But for the common people, there are things that are not clearly stated that cannot be done, but they can be done! 】

[Although this is not specifically stated, it is actually enough. 】

At the moment, Li You looked at Li Shimin with more admiration.

In this feudal era, it is really rare to accept not only equality and equal rights for everyone, but also equal rights for men and women.

However, Li You was lamenting about this incident when he suddenly heard the report from the eunuch, saying that it was Fang and Du who brought Dai Zhou, Minister of the Household Department, and Wang Xiaotong, the head of the Securities Department, to seek an audience.

Immediately, Li You was shocked again.

[These people come together, could it be that there is an accident with the national debt! 】
