What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

There is no idiot who can give Li Zhiwu a smarter couple as children, even Li Xian, who seems to be stupid in history books, is not really stupid. Put someone else in his place In terms of performance, it may not be able to do better than him.Not to mention, after being deposed as King of Luling for so many years, it is estimated that even drinking water and sleeping will be monitored by others. When he is forced to go home, he can still save the lives of his family, so we know that this person is still capable. .

The same is true for Li Hong. Li Hong was a prince since he was a child, and he was taught by elites. He learned from Li Chengqian's lessons. To be honest, Li Zhi actually didn't understand Li Shimin's choice back then.That's right, Li Gang, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu and the like are indeed all famous ministers, but what are their backgrounds? Most of them are speech officials and censors. What kind of talents can they really cultivate by picking on the thorns?What's more, what they want to teach is the crown prince. Does the crown prince follow them as a censor?The prince should learn the principles of governing the country. As for personal morality, is it that important?Like Guan Zhong back then, he was very good. Duke Huan of Qi said that he liked to have fun. He didn’t understand this, and that didn’t understand. Let Qi be the overlord!Therefore, to be an emperor, the most important thing is to know people and be good at their duties. Of course, the premise is not to be fooled by others, and you must also understand some principles of checks and balances. What is required of the prince and even the emperor to be a perfect person?

Therefore, although Li Zhi said that he chose a few gentlemen with good reputations for Li Hong, but those few were just for name. They were old and didn't have the energy to take care of too many things, and the others were relatively pragmatic.Of course, these people can't tell Li Hong too much about many things with Li Hong. As for the courtiers, although they have a so-called heart for the king, Yao and Shun when they are young, they will know when they reach a certain age. , ideals are ideals, and reality is reality. Therefore, it is better for the emperor to be more benevolent. Don’t rub the sand in your eyes. If you see any mistakes made by the officials below, you will shout and kill them. Hello, hello, everyone!For example, in the Song Dynasty, Song Renzong was taught in this way. At that time, the most comfortable time for civil servants ushered in.But now, although Li Hong has not reached this level, he has been taught to be very successful. He is indeed lenient, and he doesn't want to see others suffer.Even if it was just a suggestion, he did something, and his reputation in the court and the public has always been very good. This is one of the reasons why he wanted to give up the crown prince, but Li Zhi refused.

Li Hong has high expectations for Li Xian. He is not in good health, and he knows it well. If he already has a child, he may still think about it for the child, but he has no child, so it will naturally be more serious. Think more about the affairs of the country and the court.He felt that his body was not suitable for the position of prince, so Li Xian was a good entrustment object.Therefore, when he heard what Li Xian said that he wanted to go to Yunnan to be a vassal king, but was rejected by the emperor and empress, he secretly gave his parents a thumbs up. That's right, it's not good to just stay and wait to be the prince. ?What do you do?

Therefore, even though Li Xian was frustrated in various ways, Li Hong pretended not to hear. He just said a few casual words of comfort, but he was thinking in his heart when Li Xian would be able to take over the position of the crown prince.He was even thinking of a suitable excuse, for example, as the crown prince, he couldn't devote himself to recuperating from his illness, so the crown prince should not do it himself, second brother, you can work harder!

It's a pity that before Li Hong could say anything, Li Xian passed out drunk!It's Li Yue's fault. Originally, the alcohol content of Tang Dynasty was very low. Otherwise, those poets would not have to drink three hundred cups at a time. After using those fruits and those starchy yams and kudzu root in the mountains to make wine, in order to make the wine look better, they came up with distillation and filtration technology. In this way, the green ant wine is only drunk by ordinary people Yes, the middle and upper class will choose clearer and more transparent wine, which directly leads to a lot of alcohol content. Li Xian is not too old, and the frequency of drinking is not high. After a few drinks, he will naturally become drunk up.

On Li Hong's side, someone arranged for Li Xian to rest, and on the other side, he began to think about Li Yue again.

Li Hong looks like a bright man, but it doesn't mean that he is really careless, he actually sees everything very clearly.However, it was always difficult for him to understand what happened to Li Yue.With the temperament of her parents, no matter how capable Li Yue is, she will not have such a status.After all, since the two Jin Dynasties, there hasn't been a vassal king with real power for so many years. Even if Li Yue has his special features, he won't make his parents pay such a price.Therefore, there must be something about Li Yue that I don't know about.However, Li Hong wanted to think about it, but he didn't really have any unfavorable thoughts for Li Yue.What Li Yue has done over the years, if you really want to talk about it, even if he really committed the crime of treason, he can only be exiled or raped directly, it is impossible to really kill him, lest he will lose his heart when he turns around .Li Hong is not a person who doesn't know good and bad, among other things, if it weren't for the things Li Yue made, the imperial court is now full of treasury and internal funds, how can the imperial court have much money to do so many things.In the past, apart from providing some sugarcane, Minyue could not pay much tax, but now, even if most of the tax goes to Li Yue, the rest is much more than before.Therefore, it is not a bad thing for Minyue to fall into Li Yue's hands. If you arrange a few provincial governors to go there, not only will you not be able to do anything, you will not be able to collect any taxes, and you will have a few ignorant and unruly people at the booth. After forcing Shanyue back, the imperial court had to send troops to suppress them, and then had to pay a lot of money to appease them.Anyway, in the past, except for the chief officer, it was no different from allowing the Yue people to govern themselves. After Li Yue passed, at least the speed of Sinicization there has accelerated, and governance will become easier in the future.

Everyone has their own thoughts this year, but on the surface they still look happy.This side of Luoyang is the traditional Central Plains area. Although there have been several wars, there are quite a lot of gentry and even aristocratic families on the Central Plains side.Today's aristocratic families are actually relatively enlightened, and if they are really that old-fashioned, they will not be passed down to today.Therefore, they have also been actively investing in industry and commerce these years, but the headache is that even if they are not so profitable in farming now, they still like to buy land when they have money. Land mergers here are becoming more and more serious, because growing food is no longer profitable, they have started to grow cotton and mulberry trees, so that on the one hand they can make more money, and the price of food will rise a wave, so they won't be hungry anyway. They don't bother to care if they have grown enough food!Fortunately, now that industry and commerce are developed, farmers who have lost their land can also make money by working in workshops. However, the technical level of these workshops is not as good as that of Minyue. In order to make more money for themselves, they can only squeeze the workers below. , It is nothing more than the same old way, prolonging the working hours and lowering the wages of working.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu probably didn't realize this for the time being, but Li Yue found these problems after walking around during this time. The real bourgeoisie, these people still can't change their shit.Thinking of those remarks on the Internet in her previous life, Li Yue felt a headache. If this continues, maybe someone will really riot and hang these inhumane and inhumane guys on the lampposts.Industry is actually more serious about the exploitation of surplus value than agriculture. In agriculture, after all, there are still farming seasons. It depends on the weather. When there is not so much farm work, even if you are forced to work in the field, there are not so many things to do. But the industry is different. As long as the factory does not stop working, then, whether it is 996 or 007, it can be realized. Anyway, as long as people are not treated as people.In particular, although there are no electric lamps yet, lamp oil is really cheap. The cheapest is the lamp oil extracted from petroleum, and then there are cottonseed oil, rapeseed oil, and there are more expensive ones, but they are used for lighting by dignitaries. Yes, for example, the princes and nobles now use candles made of whale oil for lighting in their homes. On the one hand, they are bright, and on the other hand, there is no smoke.In short, if you add a few more lights in the workshop, at the current cost, it really doesn’t cost much to make people continue to work for a long time after dark. They don't care about vision problems caused by working under insufficiently bright lights and affecting future work and life.It's just like recruiting embroiderers in the embroidery room before. In short, it is to squeeze as much as possible. If the embroiderer's eyesight is bad, she can get out and change. Anyway, it is not a job with high technical content. A little training is enough. As for the life and death of those workers, who will care more? What about?

After Li Yue found out about the situation, she simply wrote a letter to Li Zhi and Empress Wu, expressing that if things go on like this, the people who turn around will be full of grievances. Restrict this accordingly.

The problem is that the imperial court can't do anything about it. Li Yue in Minyue can use more efficient new technologies to hang them, but in Guanzhong and the Central Plains, the imperial court does not have such confidence.To put it bluntly, if the imperial court also engages in industrial production, the cost of the officials and petty officials they support will be much higher than that of the private sector, and it will naturally be difficult to compete with them.If you get a new technology from Li Yue, believe it or not, it won't be long before this new technology becomes popular?There is no such thing as intellectual property rights these days, and officials are also made by people. Whether it is coercion or temptation, those aristocratic families will always have a way to get what they want.

The reason why they suffered in Minyue was nothing more than that Minyue was not their traditional territory, and Li Yue used almost all Yue people, and they didn't have much affection for these outsiders. At that time, the gentry in the north could do a lot of harm to the south, and the Yue people were also affected a lot. For example, some Yue people now, like most Yue people, did not migrate here after the Yue country was destroyed. It was because the gentry from the north went to the south and encircled the land wantonly, captured the local people as slaves, and forced the people to flee into the mountains.Although many years have passed, many people still remember the things that have been passed down by word of mouth.Therefore, they were instinctively wary of those aristocratic families. Besides, they could live such a good life with Li Yue around. What benefits would they gain if they betrayed Li Yue?

Now Li Yue really hoped that Empress Wu would hurry up and kill a group of those nobles from the family. However, for the sake of profit, these people would kill a group and there would be another group. It is still necessary to lock capital in a cage.

Li Yue never expected that Li Zhi and Empress Wu's movements would be so rough.First, a workshop was burned by the Luoshui River, and the people who died in it were actually death row prisoners, but who would recognize who was inside after they were burned to death?Then, Li Zhi was furious in the court, saying that this matter can never be done again!

The emperors are all film kings, and they are all good at showing off. Li Zhi deeply mourned those dead "artisans", and then sternly reprimanded them. It is obviously curfew time, and everyone should sleep at home , Why are these craftsmen still working in the workshop, and even, after discovering the fire, they are awake but can't escape?Because in order to prevent them from being lazy, these craftsmen were locked in their workstations, so they were burned alive while they were awake.

"The imperial court's service of criminals has never been so harsh. As a result, those merchants just spend money to recruit workers, but treat the craftsmen as slaves!" Li Zhi looked around at the courtiers below, sneering, and he did not name them. He only said that those workshop owners were merchants, "I don't know where these people have the courage, they are all just humble people, and they want to keep slaves in delusion?"

Even though those sweatshops are inextricably linked with many civil and military officials in the court, but at this time, no one will jump out to claim them.Today's mainstream thought of governing the country is naturally Confucianism. The core of Confucianism is benevolence and propriety, and the existence of workshops undoubtedly violates these two principles. If anyone jumps out to defend these workshops, then they have violated this core order.

Therefore, they had no choice but to allow Li Zhi to issue a new edict. After dark, unless the court allowed it, the workshop was prohibited from lighting lamps and starting work.No matter who it is, if you discover and report it, you can get half of the other party's property reward.

As soon as the edict came out, even though many people were so distressed that they almost bleed, they still had to shout sages and saints on their faces, and Li Yue secretly marveled in his heart, learning is useless, study is useless!
