At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

Qin Shou couldn't stand it any longer. Doesn't drinking on an empty stomach cause heartburn?

"As the saying goes, there is dragon meat in the sky, and donkey meat on the ground."

Donkey meat?

Li Erzai had been looking forward to it for a long time since he had a meal of meat here last time, so he immediately grabbed it.

So hungry?

Changsun Wuji couldn't help being taken aback.

Since His Majesty took the throne, I have never seen His Majesty act like this.

This made him take a high look at the meat, but soon he realized that he still took a few low looks.

After just one mouthful, he lost all image, threw off his arms completely, and gnawed on a large piece of donkey's butt.

He has no hobbies, except eating and drinking!

piece

Another piece!

Really fragrant!

After a few came back, the three of them exchanged cups.

At this time, Changsun Wuji also completely resigned to his fate. He has a short mouth for eating people and short hands for taking people.

I'm sorry Lao Fang, the situation is stronger than people!

He wished he could open his mouth again, and just when he wanted to get up and eat another piece, he suddenly felt that his body seemed a little heavy, so he pushed harder.

"Stab!"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help being taken aback.

Look down

His face flushed instantly, and he quickly clamped his legs and squeezed his buttocks.

I wipe it, the clothes are torn!

The old face couldn't stand it anymore, and the clothes were eaten after a meal. Doesn't this matter make people laugh out loud?

At this time, Changsun Wuji finally understood what Li Shimin meant by asking him to wear loose clothes!

"Old man, it's really cool for you to be like this. Sit down and block the light first, Ling'er... just take a set of my clothes for my uncle, and make up for it first..."

......

The food is almost enough, and the wine is also in place

Qin Shou spoke, his purpose was to make money, and to share risks.

"Uncle, what does our family do? If you have some spare money, I'll let you join in and earn some money to spend together."

Changsun Wuji couldn't help being taken aback. To be honest, he was born in a noble family and he really looked down on the way of merchants.

"How much money can you make?"

"That depends on how much money you have!"

At this time, although Changsun Wuji was blushing from drinking, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked about his business, "Don't panic about making money, I want to ask you a question first, do you remember the note you wrote earlier. "

"What note?"

"It's...that note that collapsed the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs." Changsun Wuji said in a low voice.

"Oh, that's the one my father-in-law took away!" Qin Shou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that his father-in-law would take away a piece of paper about a major historical event, and once it was revealed, it would be the end of his life.

Good luck!

This note was just written by myself after recording those events, considering that if I was an official or a businessman, I would not be able to get around these rich and nobles.

"Why did you write such a note?" Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Shou with piercing eyes and asked, "Or is there a bitter hatred between Wu Xing and Qi Wang?"

Li Shimin had already stopped what he was doing, and immediately sat upright.

Staring at Qin Shou's eyes with burning eyes...

Chapter No.17: Do you have enmity with the five surnames and Qiwang?

"Is there any enmity between you and Wuxing Qiwang? Why do you want to dig out the foundation of the 'Five Surnames and Qiwang'?"

"There's a lot of enmity and resentment here!" Qin Shou replied.

"What hatred can you have?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but hesitate, a little confused.

just you?

And five surnames and seven hopes?

Deep hatred?

What is the level of people with five surnames and seven expectations, and what is your level?

Don't make trouble!

But Qin Shou said seriously: "Because they are blocking us from living a good life!"

"Life?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji came with black lines all over their faces.

Where did this shit go?

Could it be that the five surnames and seven Wangs can still blame your family and prevent you from living?

Looking at their puzzled eyes, Qin Shou explained directly: "If we want to live a good life, we need to earn more wealth, but they are blocking our way of making money."

"Take me and my father-in-law's business this time as an example. The success is due to too many accidents, and it doesn't last long!"

"What if we still want to make money? We can't open our mouths and expect Datang to make a disaster, right?"

"So, we still have to start with clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., but only after we really understand that the "five surnames and seven wangs" control almost all these industries, and we can't even get in."

"You said, if we don't trip up these mountains, can we have a chance?"

"Isn't it good for everyone to keep their own place?" Changsun Wuji nodded.

Qin Shou put down the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Changsun Wuji with contempt: "Old uncle, do you think that people always say you are honest, but you still think that is a compliment?"

"If this person has no ideals, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"..." Changsun Wuji couldn't hold back when he was told.

Qin Shou smiled and said: "Don't be unconvinced, old uncle, I will give you a good stroke."

"Ling'er told me that although we are also a big family, compared with Wu Xing Qi Wang, it is nothing. Let's first talk about how powerful Wu Xing Qi Wang is.

Take the Taiyuan Wang family as an example, they regard Taiyuan as the county of Zhaoxing and the county of Wangchu, they control a large amount of land, and at the same time have a large number of dependent population..."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji and his ministers only nodded when they heard the words, and they really didn't think so.

In terms of understanding of the Taiyuan Wang family, no one is more familiar with them than those who started from Guanlong.

But immediately, the eyes of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji changed, and they frowned.

The more he listened, the more solemn his face became.

The eyes are constantly changing, thinking from time to time.

"Let's go on to say that these dependent populations are roughly composed of two parts. One part belongs to the exploited class and is often used in military activities or production activities. Constant wealth."

"The other part of the disciples are relatively wealthy landlords of the common clan. In order to improve their social and political status and seek official positions, they often seek refuge in the Gaomen clan by giving gifts and bribes."

"Among the aristocrats, there are not a few people who enshrine the princes and worship the ministers. There are many disciples who turn to the nobles, and the number is increasing day by day, and the development of the great clans is getting stronger. These disciples not only want to make money and give gifts, but also work for them. Do illegal things, so that the clan will have a steady stream of rights...."

"It's like the big fish eating the small fish. Nothing is safe, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves."

"If you want to survive, there are only two choices. Either become their disciples or dogs, and wag your tail at them? Or be exploited by them?"

At this time, the monarch and his ministers had completely put down the wine and meat in their hands, and their expressions became serious.

Especially Li Shimin, after listening to Qin Shou's analysis of the aristocrats from the perspectives of land and personnel, he felt as if a heavy stone was weighing on his heart, making it difficult to breathe!

In the face of the economic and political power of the aristocrats, why didn't he, the emperor, succumb to their reversal of the verdict?

If it was said that he only felt the constraints of these powerful people in the past, but now, he felt an extra humiliation and embarrassment.

Worse than skin pain!

At this time, Li Shimin's heart was burning with fire.

"So, for those of us, the stronger they are, the more uncomfortable our lives will be!"

"Conversely, if we want to live a life, it will inevitably affect their interests!"

"You say that blocking someone's way of making money is like killing one's parents. Isn't that a deep hatred?" Qin Shou said bitterly.

The reason why Qin Shou wrote this note at the beginning was because he felt that if he wanted to live a better life and earn more money, the gentry group headed by the "Five Surnames and Seven Wangs" was an obstacle he could not avoid. .

That's why I thought more about it.

"..."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji didn't speak, they were stunned.

hiss!

Changsun Wuji gasped.

Looking at Qin Shou, his eyes were as hot as fire.

Nima, whip it into the inside!

Although some of the words he said were lame, they hit the nail on the head.

You taste, fine taste...

Isn't there a big enmity among them!

......

Changsun Wuji suppressed the shock and fantasies in his heart, and asked, "Then you said that the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are so powerful, do we have a chance?"

"There is a chance, why is there no chance..."

Qin Shou dipped his chopsticks into the tea and drew the outline of the Tang Dynasty, and then used a few thin bones on the table to form a river shape, and then said: "Since the Sui Dynasty, the canal has been opened, connecting the north and the south, and the two sides of the canal The commodity economy is developing rapidly, and a unified market has gradually begun to form, and the canal is our opportunity..."

"With the development, the land system is gradually dominated by renting, and the agricultural economy of the big manor is bound to decline. However, these aristocratic families are still based on the self-sufficiency of the big manor, and the wealth of their most precious land resource will inevitably increase significantly. Shrunk, this is our chance."

"Also, the aristocrats and aristocrats are very regional. This is their advantage, but it is also their disadvantage. Where their control is not strong, this is also our opportunity..."

"..."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji look at me and I look at you.

The shock in the eyes cannot be added!

The blood in the heart is compressed and squeezed out...

It's astonishing!

"You calculated all of these?" Changsun Wuji asked with trembling fingers.

"No, this is the law of economic development, and how do you..."

Qin Shou scratched his head, wondering how to explain to his uncle?

"Gudu!"

Changsun Wuji swallowed dryly, what kind of person is this!

Yoshihisa

Only then did Changsun Wuji realize that he hadn't finished asking about his business.

"That... big nephew, what do you mean by the emperor's disciple who reformed the imperial examination?"

Qin Shou didn't answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question: "Old uncle, what do you think your majesty is conducting the imperial examination for?
