Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"What? Am I wrong?" Li Shimin asked.

"Father, I just said that the original source of the value of all items is manpower. Can you understand?" Li Ke thought for a while, and explained it so that Lao Li could fully understand it, so as not to give him frequent lectures in the future.

"Explain, explain." Li Shimin glanced at him.

"In fact, food needs people to plant and produce. This process also consumes manpower. Iron ore needs people to mine and it also needs manpower. So I say that the original source of the value of all items is manpower. But our ancestors farmed, maybe It is slash-and-burn farming, and one person can only plant one mu. Now we have invented the plow and the cart, so that we can plant 50 mu alone. Although the source is still manpower consumption, because we invented machines and invented the use of animal power, the actual It can be understood that we have improved our human value." Li Ke explained.

"Of course, this is the most traceable statement. If the country counts these, the cost will be divided into several types. For example, iron ore is a production resource."

"As for what you said about the corvee, it's not entirely true. You must know that the corvee itself still consumes productivity, because these people in the corvee could have worked in their own homes, but they have no value when they come out to work. .”

"However, there are two types of corvee. I'm sorry to say it bluntly." Li Ke thought for a while and opened his mouth. In fact, Li Shimin is quite easy to communicate with sometimes, and of course it is easier to communicate with his son.

"Huh? You are still afraid of your father when His Royal Highness Qin speaks?" Li Shimin couldn't help being a little amused.

"Hey, that's still scary, after all, it hurts to beat someone with a guard's stick." Li Ke hurriedly apologized with a smile.

"Say it, I won't hit you."

"Well, there are two types of corvee projects. One is national projects. This kind of project is valuable. If the value generated by this kind of project is greater than the value generated by these people in themselves, it is beneficial! For example Speaking of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal dug by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, in fact, his operation was problematic. He was too eager for quick success. If it was operated by his ministers, there would be nothing wrong with the Tang Dynasty. Dad, you don’t even have the position of Tang Guogong now. It can't be hereditary." Li Ke said.

Li Shimin: "..." His hand could no longer be suppressed.

Concubine Yang was taken aback, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only give Li Ke a hard look, while Empress Changsun was a little dumbfounded, she stretched out her hand and patted Li Ke's head, "Speak well! "

Seeing Empress Changsun's action, Li Shimin glared at Li Ke and didn't beat him up.

"Yes, Queen Mother. Hehe." Li Ke chuckled twice, of course he knew that Empress Changsun was helping him.

"Secondly, it is a useless project that does not generate any positive benefits at all, and is of useless value." Li Ke said.

"For example?" Li Shimin asked with a sideways look at him.

"Cough, like Efang Palace." Li Ke's eyes rolled sharply, and he hurriedly turned a corner. Daming Palace almost blurted out. Seeing Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, Li Ke became anxious, and hurriedly said loudly, "Six kings complete, four seas one; Shushan Wu, A Fang came out. Covered and pressed for more than three hundred miles, separated from the sky. Lishan Mountain was built in the north and turned west, and went straight to Xianyang. The two rivers melted and flowed into the palace wall..."

……

"The people of Qin have no time to mourn for themselves, but later generations mourn for them; what later generations mourn for but ignore it, also makes future generations mourn for future generations." Li Ke finished reciting "A Fang Gong Fu" in a passionate tone. Oh my god, fortunately I didn't slip through the net of the nine-year compulsory education.

Li Shimin: "..."

Empress Changsun: "..."

Concubine Yang: "..."

Empress Changsun looked at Li Ke speechlessly, Ke'er, even if the queen mother wanted to help you out this time, she couldn't.

After reciting it, Li Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong, Nima, this "A Fang Gong Fu" seems to be wrong, it is no different from pointing at Lao Li's nose and scolding.

"Okay, you haven't learned Wei Zheng's strengths, you have learned [-]% of Wei Zheng's bad mouth, right?" Li Shimin laughed angrily.

Ever since he was beaten up since he was young, Li Shimin knew what he was going to do as soon as Li Ke pouted his ass. Just now this kid definitely wanted to say "Daming Palace", but it was hard for him. ", although Li Shimin doesn't know if he wrote it before, but...it probably won't, this kid has no profit, so you say that Wei Zheng wrote his letter for this kind of article, Li Ke?

"Ode to Beef" Li Shimin believed it.

Therefore, this kid's talent... Li Shimin also admires it a little. This article...is so neat and very reasonable. Although Li Shimin is angry, he finds it funny now, and his desire to survive is too strong.

"Ah, that's right, dad, I didn't write this, it was written by Zheng Guogong." Li Ke said quickly, Zheng Guogong is very good at taking the blame, anyway, it is impossible for Aye to ask Wei Zheng for proof at this moment, wait for him It was probably a long time ago when I asked for proof, and I was not so angry at that time.

"Have you written it down?" Li Shimin turned to the side, and asked a scribe sitting in the corner of the carriage. It was Li Shimin's living man.

"Remember it." Qi Jilang said directly.

"Copy a copy and give it to Zheng Guogong in a while, and say that His Royal Highness Qin Wang said that he wrote it." Li Shimin said with a faint smile.

Li Ke: "..." Oops, I forgot about Qi Julang, I can't help it, the other party's sense of existence is too low, I've been used to it for a long time, and I completely ignore him.

While talking, Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with a half-smile, still pretending?

"Hey, so father, in fact, buildings like Efang Palace are useless buildings for corvee workers. Of course, it doesn't mean that the buildings themselves are useless, but that they can't help the operation of the country and the court. That's why I said It's a useless building."

"But as the palace where the emperor of a country lives, it must be grand, because it represents the face of the country. Although the country must be pragmatic, propaganda is also very important. The palace and the palace are used for propaganda. As the emperor of a country, Working tirelessly for the country, working from dawn to dusk, being diligent and thrifty, living in a better palace is what it should be!"

"It's just that it's better for such a palace to distribute monthly money to craftsmen. In this way, it can also win the emperor's reputation. Hey, the people in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites are too poor. They have no awareness of this aspect at all. It's all their fault. .” Li Ke said quickly.

Li Shimin: "..."

Concubine Yang, Empress Changsun: "..."

Even the living man next to him was speechless, he didn't care, his task was to record all these and use them as a reference when compiling the history, as for how to write the history, that was the matter of the officials who compiled the history, thanks to the invention of His Royal Highness King Qin paper, it doesn’t cost much to write a lot now.

"Hey, let's not talk about that. Anyway, since you came out, father, you can take a good rest for a while. Isn't someone in charge of the government?" Li Ke quickly changed the subject.

Li Shimin glanced at him helplessly: "Okay, you've said all the good things, right? You're a courtier in other dynasties!"

"Hey, Dad, I see what you said. There is so much relationship between my son and my father. I am your son. Aye..." Li Ke held his voice and elongated his tone.

Li Shimin's life was covered with goosebumps when Li Ke called "Aye".
