Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

In this way, the common people had cattle and sheep, the ministers had food, the family earned a lot of money, and the Western Regions got colored glaze.

It can be said that everyone is happy.

These methods can also be used on the Gaochang Kingdom. "

"It's really wonderful!!"

Li Shimin immediately said with approval.

The idea is actually to join in, to be a wholesaler, and the major families to be dealers, and sell to consumer groups.

In this way, the interests of himself and the dealer are tied together, and naturally he will not hinder himself.

It is very worthwhile to exchange colored glaze for the other party's cattle, sheep or minerals, because these things are not worth much at all.

Then feed back the profits you get to the people, and the entire national power of Datang will continue to grow stronger, while the opponent will become weaker and weaker.

Using technological advantages, you can quickly occupy the opponent's market.

After using their local resources for processing, sell them to them.

You can quickly own various resources of the opponent, such as minerals, population, and even land.

After they realize the problem, there is nothing they can do.

The technical advantage will not be able to catch up in a short while.

Chapter 71 Chamber of Commerce

"Since the emperor has already planned for the chamber of commerce, let's do it!

With me here, nothing can go wrong.

As for sending people to Gaochang to inquire.

For this matter, I will also send a team to sneak in.

If the acquisition of the caravan fails, I will help.

If it really doesn't work, I asked King Gaochang to pay a tribute to a batch of kapok seeds. "

For this new species of cotton, Li Shimin doesn't know much about its habits.

But in terms of comfort and warmth, cotton is much better than hemp.

Putting aside the cost of planting and relying on these points alone, Li Shimin felt that he should send someone to investigate.

Wait until the investigation is clear before discussing and deciding how to treat cotton.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Tai said with joy, "Father is wise."

With Li Shimin's guarantee, this matter is already a certainty.

Cotton can definitely conquer Li Shimin.

Before that, it will take some time.

Cotton production, planting techniques, picking techniques, planting conditions, and seed sources all need to be inquired by people.

As for the chamber of commerce, with Li Shimin's help, there will be no trouble.

Li Shimin has the military power in his hands, if he doesn't eat soft ones, he will come hard ones.

I believe that there will be no one who can't think about it.

"The minister there left all these Bodhisattvas and Silla maidservants to the father."

"Well, very good." Li Shimin nodded, then changed the subject and asked.

"The blast furnace is about to start, let me go and see when the iron will be smelted!"

"My son understands that when the time comes, I will let my father see the output of the blast furnace."

Li Tai was a little speechless, thinking about Tie all day long...

"There is also the matter of newspapers, and I think the time is ripe.

Riding Ten Thousand Kingdoms to North Korea, it can be released in the near future, to promote the prestige of our Tang Dynasty.

How does the emperor feel about this matter? "

The time is right?It's only been half a month... This is also called the time is ripe.

The corners of Li Tai's mouth twitched, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Li Shimin wanted to show off again.

For this matter, I want to establish a liberal arts academy and let the liberal arts academy handle the distribution.

"I wanted to build another academy under the Academy of Sciences, called the Academy of Arts, and let the teachers be responsible for this."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, shaking his head.

"This is not right...Wei Zheng is the prime minister!

Wouldn't it be wronging him to ask him to do this specifically?

And the Academy of Sciences is all Huang'er's disciples, and Wei Zheng is now Huang'er's teacher.

If Wei Zheng entered the Academy of Sciences again and became a teacher in the so-called Academy of Arts, wouldn't the relationship be messed up? "

"Eh..." Li Tai pondered for a while.

The relationship is messed up, who cares...

The most important thing is the identity of the prime minister, Wei Zheng is different from Li Chunfeng.

Without his Taoist background, Li Chunfeng is not of much use to Li Shimin now.

But his knowledge and talents are very useful for science.

Therefore, Li Shimin didn't care if Li Chunfeng became his disciple and the dean of the School of Chemistry.

But Wei Zheng is different, he is famous for his uprightness and is a prime minister, with some abilities stronger than Li Chunfeng.

The important thing is that newspapers are very sensitive things that control speech and thought.

Combining the two factors, Li Shimin probably didn't want to let himself control the newspaper, but wanted to hold it in his own hands.

Thinking of this, Li Tai immediately understood what Li Shimin was thinking.

Let’s not build the Faculty of Arts if it’s not built!

Anyway, I'm too busy, so it's okay to make concessions.

"What your father said is true.

However, I still feel that Wei Zheng can be responsible for this matter, and I can help. "

Li Shimin watched Li Tai give in, and nodded his head rarely.

"That's what I mean, Wei Zheng is upright, and what he says is fair without bias.

Then it's Huang'er's teacher, with Huang'er's help, there shouldn't be any major problems.

I thought that this newspaper could be hung in the Ministry of Rites and printed by the Ministry of Industry, with Wei Zheng as the leader.

How does the emperor feel? "

The newspaper was hung in the Ministry of Rites, and the printing and distribution was handed over to the Ministry of Industry, with Wei Zheng to cooperate with the content.Coupled with helping yourself, I feel that there should be no big problem.

It's just that the distribution is handed over to the Ministry of Industry. Doesn't this mean that Li Shimin has also started a business?Will the group agree?

"Father, if it is handed over to the Ministry of Industry, wouldn't it cause criticism from important court officials?"

"It's okay, I've already made up my mind, and I'll take advantage of the coming of all nations to the DPRK, and the Ministry of Rites will issue it in the name of promoting the Tang Dynasty's prestige, and the price will be fine as long as the capital is guaranteed."

It turns out that it is really yours to publish newspapers in the name of spreading the prestige of the Tang Dynasty through the coming of all nations to the court. "

The last problem was also solved, and Li Tai had no doubts.

"I think this is feasible!"

"Okay, pass on Wei Zheng, Duan Lun and Li Daozong"

Since there is no problem, then gather people to prepare to arrange things.

Wei Zheng, Duan Lun and Li Daozong were called into the imperial study and hurriedly saluted: "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

Li Shimin glanced over the three of them and said slowly.

"This time, let all the lovers come here, I have something important to discuss."

As he spoke, a serious and serious expression appeared on his face, and he spoke slowly.

Since the publication of "Datang Guodian" and "Commonly Used Dictionary", people's wisdom has been greatly expanded.

But all dynasties and dynasties have always ruled by fooling the people. "

The three looked at each other, not knowing what Li Shimin wanted to say.

"I thought it was inappropriate."

Everyone raised their eyebrows, startled, and looked at Li Shimin.

Guessing in my heart, does Li Shimin want to open up the wisdom of the people?

"This move has three evils.

One is that the people are ignorant, do not know right from wrong, and have difficulty distinguishing truth from falsehood.

They are easily seduced by those who have evil intentions and become mobs.

This is a great harm.

The second is that the common people are ignorant, ignorant of big characters, ignorant of kingly laws, and ignorant of emperors.

They were bullied by corrupt officials and gentry gentry, but they were powerless to resist, so they could only swallow their anger.

Over time, dissatisfaction grows in your heart, and when you are forced to have no way out, you will become anti-people.

And I~ know nothing about it.

Three, the common people are ignorant, it is difficult to raise the talents of the pillars, it is difficult to raise the pillars of the country, and it is difficult for the court to get new blood.

······"

After what Li Shimin said, the three of them were horrified.

They thought that Li Shimin's use of pinyin was just to make his name last forever.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to open up the wisdom of the people.

Opening up the wisdom of the people will benefit the lower class the most, and it will not benefit the gentry at all.

But for Li Shimin's rule, more talents are also good.

Li Shimin looked at the surprised two and expressed his final thoughts.

"The people's wisdom needs to be guided, and the people's hearts need to be gathered, so I decided to set up a newspaper and publish a newspaper."

After the three of them listened, they looked at each other, and they all saw the deception in each other's eyes.

What is a newspaper?They have only heard of rice paper, toilet paper... and this newspaper, how can it win the hearts of the people?

Thinking of this, the three of them finally looked at Li Tai.

Don't think about it, it must have been made by King Wei again.

Li Shimin looked at the puzzled expressions of the two, and explained slowly.

"Reporting the affairs of the world is all on one piece of paper, which is the newspaper..."

The two suddenly felt a sense of urgency, but the corners of Li Tai's mouth twitched again and again. Isn't this repeating his own words?

Li Shimin turned into a repeater at this moment, repeating what Li Tai said again.

Soon, the three of them quickly understood the content and purpose of this newspaper, and immediately saluted in unison and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

In his heart, he showed a little fear towards Li Tai, he is really an old fox who is good at manipulating people's hearts! !

Soon, things settled down.

The content edited by Wei Zheng was first reviewed by Li Tai, reviewed by Li Shimin, and finally handed over to Li Shimin for review.
