Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

This poem by Li Shen, which reveals a sense of desolation, is "Bee" by Luo Yin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

The bees worked diligently and worked hard to collect the honey, but what was the result? Honey is not enjoyed by the bees themselves, but by the dignitaries.

It tells the story of how the fruits of the poor people's hard work were eventually taken away by others.

Seeing Li Shen leaving like that, Brother San also followed. Li Tai and Li Zhi quickened their pace to catch up with Li Shen.

"Old Shi, I heard that you want to do business with the Japanese country. I wonder if you can bring fourth brother with you. Fourth brother is now living in poverty." Li Tai didn't know where he got the new information.

Li Zhi also followed closely and said:

"Yes, Lao Shi, we are all brothers. You can't favor one over the other. Take Brother Ninth with you too."

Ah~~~So that’s what happened. Li Shen thought to himself, I wonder why these two people were crying and complaining just now. It turns out they wanted to buy shares.

Knowing the reason, Li Shen said to his two brothers with a smile.

"So that's what happened. It's no problem to take one of you with me, but you may not know that I have a very big plan in Japan, so it will cost a lot of money, so you plan to pay more to buy shares."

The two were even more delighted to hear that Li Shen's plan was huge. The bigger the plan, the more money they would make.

As we all know, Li Shen is the God of Wealth, and his income is always several times his investment.

"Then I don't know how much your plan, Old Ten, will cost per share."

"Since we are all brothers, we will receive a 200% bonus of 500 million yuan, and no dividends for the first three years. How about, if this is at least [-] million yuan and [-]% shares for outsiders." Li Shen said calmly.

"Two million yuan???" The two brothers opened their mouths in surprise. Even Li Chengqian next to them was extremely shocked.

"Old Shi, are you lying to us? 200 million guan is only a 2000% bonus, so your plan requires [-] million guan?" Li Tai said dissatisfied.

"That's right, if you don't pay dividends for three years, then tell me what you plan to do in Japan." Li Zhi was also quite dissatisfied.

Li Shen said without any change in expression;

"This is actually not a secret. I plan to buy a piece of land in the Japanese country and build a city called Datang City. After it is completed, I will rent out the facade and collect taxes.

And we will also open the largest Datang specialty store in the center there. Dozens of times profit. "

After Li Shen finished speaking, he looked like he didn't understand the life of a rich man, which made Li Chengqian speechless.

And Li Tai and Li Zhi were even more stupid. They thought they were just shipping some things from the Tang Dynasty for sale. They didn't expect that Li Shen was so ambitious and wanted to build a city in the Japanese country.

They also rent out stores and collect taxes.

Seeing the two brothers looking silly, Li Shen said playfully;

"How about big brother, do you want to play with your brother too?"

Li Chengqian shook his head vigorously.

"No, I can't get 200 million yuan even by selling the East Palace."

Li Shen asked Li Tai and Li Zhi again,

"Where are your two brothers? Are you interested? This is dozens of times the profit."

In fact, these two brothers really wanted to join, but they had nothing in their hands. They could barely raise 200 guan. Even Li Shimin's father wouldn't lend it to them [-] million guan.

"Old Shi, you are playing too big a game. Fourth brother can't afford it." Li Tai said helplessly.

Li Zhi also nodded.

They were somewhat depressed. Once upon a time when Li Shen was still a little kid, they were the most dazzling focus among the princes.

But now Li Shen is the most handsome among the princes.

There was a time when none of them were willing to play with a concubine prince like Li Shen.

But now they can't even play with Li Shen if they want to, they can't afford it.

It’s really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

They were shocked by Li Shen today. For the first time, they felt that money was more important than power.

"Since my brothers don't play, forget it. In fact, millions of dollars don't make much money. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. It's just for fun."

Li Shen pretended, then turned and walked out of the palace. He needs to go back and take a nap. Getting up too early today is not good for his health.

Only the three silly brothers were left messy in the wind.

"This old man's tone is too loud. He still has millions but not much money. Is he deliberately making us angry?" Li Zhi was the youngest and young and energetic. He was a little angry when he saw Li Shen like this.

"Oh, he really has a lot of money. If I had known, I would have taken him to play more when he was a child." Li Tai sighed.

"Okay, Lao Shi was just joking. He is what he is today because of himself. You two should work harder." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he returned to the East Palace.

"Fourth brother, it seems we have no chance." Looking at Li Chengqian's back, Li Zhi said gloomily.

"Huh, he hasn't succeeded yet. Who can tell what will happen in the end? Nothing in this world is guaranteed."

After Li Tai finished speaking, he left alone.

"God will give you a glimmer of hope. Things in the world are ever-changing, and who can say for sure what will happen in the future." Li Zhi looked at the direction in which his two brothers were walking and said to himself.

-----The dividing line that I haven’t seen for a long time is back-----

"Regardless of the flat ground or the top of the mountain, the infinite scenery is all occupied. After harvesting a hundred flowers into honey, who will work hard for who will be sweet?"

After Wang De came back, he read Li Shen's poem to Li Shimin. Li Shimin repeated it twice. Li Shimin got up and came to the desk.

He picked up the pen and wrote this poem without a name on the paper. Li Shimin recalled the artistic conception and desolation of this poem,

"Are you sure this was written by Lao Shi?" Li Shimin still couldn't believe it.

The meaning and artistic conception revealed in this poem, although it does not mention anyone, compares bees to people.

"Everyone, it should be true. I feel a little desolate when I look at His Highness Prince Ji's back."

Wang De actually wanted to say that this poem was very suitable for the occasion, but he did not dare to say it because he was afraid that Li Shimin would be angry.

"Hmph, you old thief, what do you know about desolation? Lao Shi is reflecting that I have picked his fruit." Li Shimin snorted coldly, disdainful of Li Shen's little trick.

But he sighed again:

"Alas~~How many people's hardships and sorrows are written in this poem."

This has been the case in all dynasties since ancient times, with two adults holding [-]% of the country's wealth. This is the famous [-]/[-] rule.

Even though Li Shimin loved the people as his own son, he still couldn't escape the problems of feudal ideology. In order to show his status, he must have a privileged class.

Nowadays, Datang's biggest capital is the aristocratic noble families, and now Li Shen.

Li Shimin took out another large piece of paper, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then wrote Li Shen's poem again, and then stamped it with his personal seal.

"Go and frame it and hang it in the study room of Liangyi Palace."
