What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Listening to the impassioned speeches of several censors, all kinds of accusations, and spittle, Li Yue only felt that she was back in the university class, and couldn't help but start to lose her mind until she heard Li Zhi, who was sitting on the throne above, coughed lightly. With a voice, he said: "In this case, King Ning will defend himself!"

Li Yue came back to his senses and went out with an ivory wat board. He was young and small, standing in front, holding a normal size wat board, he looked a little funny, like a child secretly wearing an adult The clothes are the same, but other people really dare not laugh at this one. After all, whoever has such a capable child is really smoked from the ancestral grave.Some people even thought a little rebelliously, if the former emperor lived 20 years longer, he might not be able to sit on the throne now.But they just thought about it occasionally. Right now, all their attention was on Li Yue.

Li Yue originally thought that he would be nervous, but when things came to an end, he realized that it was no big deal, his status was higher than theirs, and in fact, he may not be as knowledgeable as them in the classics, but in nature Scientifically, I can hang and beat everyone in the court. In addition, this is actually a group of bumpkins. Do they know what a modern society is?

With such a sense of superiority, Li Yue asked a question directly: "It's nothing else, this king will ask these censors, who is Min?"

A censor immediately said: "Of course it's the common people!"

Li Yue raised his tone and said, "It turns out that ordinary people live on wool. This king is really too ignorant, and he never knew about it!"

The censor was dumbfounded for a moment, but the other censor followed immediately and said, "Although they don't live on wool, the common people pick mulberry, raise silkworms, and weave silk. Now, Your Highness King Ning, you are selling wool fabrics in order As for the silk silk in the hands of the common people, it cannot be sold, which naturally affects their livelihood!"

Li Yue sneered, and asked again: "Have you ever seen wool fabric, have you worn it?"

The censor was a bit inexplicable, not only had he seen it, but he was also wearing a woolen sweater!Spring is still relatively cool in the morning and evening. In the past, jackets were worn under the official robes, which sometimes looked a bit bloated, and it was not very warm.However, the wool from Ningzhou is very useful. A few bamboo needles can be knitted into a whole sweater. It is light, warm and close-fitting, so people can move more freely.

Therefore, he is also seeking truth from facts: "I have seen and used this wool fabric before. This wool fabric is warm and soft, and the price is not high. Therefore, I feel that this has affected the livelihood of the people!" As he spoke, his tone was impassioned. stand up.

Li Yue really wanted to roll his eyes, but he still sneered and said, "Since you have seen it used before, you should know that the uses of silk and wool fabrics are completely different. You can use silk to make an inner garment, don't you?" Do you use woolen fabric for the lining? In summer, do you wear silk or woolen?"

The courtiers immediately understood, that's right, these two uses are actually completely different, but the censor said with a stiff neck: "His Royal Highness Ning Wang is right, but when there was no woolen fabric before, everyone In order to keep warm, it is natural to wear more layers of clothes, but now, you only need to wear a wool jacket, and the silk and silk of the common people will be sold less!"

Li Yue said directly: "Since you want to settle this account, let's settle it slowly! When there is no wool fabric, a piece of silk is 200 Wen, and it is a bucket of rice in Chang'an." Now, with the appearance of woolen fabrics, in Chang’an, a piece of silk silk has become 100 Wen. You think this is because the income of the people has decreased, but why don’t you think about it? In the past, because silk silk The price of silk is relatively expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. Therefore, they can't sell much. Now, the price of silk is directly discounted in half. People who couldn't afford silk and could only wear linen as inner , and now he is willing to spend money to buy silk for inner clothes! Therefore, he could only sell one at first, but now he can sell almost four or five. Do you think the common people are earning more or less?"

There are still some smart people, and someone immediately saw the loopholes in Li Yue's words, and said directly: "However, how much silk can ordinary people weave in a year?"

Li Yue sneered: "Then why don't you say that the vast majority of the people don't make a living by weaving silk by themselves? What the people weave at home is linen. Guanzhong is densely populated and there is not enough food to grow. Who would grow mulberry trees instead of grain to raise silkworms? If there is no silk, how can there be silk? The common people can’t afford silk or wool. They have nothing to do with what you said And Zheng’er Bajing relies on selling all kinds of silk brocades for business, or those merchants in Shandong and even in the south of the Yangtze River. Only there are conditions to plant a large number of mulberry trees for silkworm rearing! However, ordinary people will not do this Yes, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the tax required to pay for planting mulberry trees is much higher than that for growing grain. However, even if a few mulberry trees are planted in the corners of the field, the number of silkworms that can be raised will not be large, and the small batch of silkworm cocoons will not be sold at any price. Now that the price of silk has dropped, the sales volume will increase greatly. The merchants in the south of the Yangtze River will only encourage folks to grow mulberry and raise silkworms, so that they can have enough silk to expand the production of silk, and then earn more money. Who is at a disadvantage here?"

No one has ever talked about economic laws from this angle before. When Li Yue said this, many officials were thoughtful.The quality of the officials in the Tang Dynasty is actually relatively high at this moment. They are poor and rich in martial arts. Few people who can become officials these days are from poor families. Even if they are from poor families, they are also landlords. Apparently, even students from poor families have to learn other things, and after becoming officials, those from aristocratic families have aides trained since childhood, and students from poor families have to find ways to learn by themselves, so, in this era, even These officials have relatively poor practical skills, but they have some understanding of various aspects, and their comprehension skills are not bad.What Li Yue said was easy to understand, and they quickly understood what Li Yue meant.

In fact, people from several aristocratic families knew very well why they bothered Li Yue, one was to get involved in the wool business, and the other was to want the flying shuttle weaving made by Li Yue It's time.It's not that they didn't want to secretly learn the technology of the flying shuttle loom. However, this kind of thing can't be seen just by looking at it. When Li Yue made it, he considered the possibility of being imitated. Therefore, but All the parts that can be encapsulated are put in by Li Yue with a layer of iron sheet, and there are some self-destruct devices inside. If the outer iron sheet is not disassembled in a certain order, some key structures inside will be destroyed.Because of the money, the textile workshop can't wait to work three shifts. In order to make more money, some women would rather work the night shift with the night shift subsidy. Therefore, there are people even at night.There are not only guards in the workshop, but also several fine dogs, and even a flock of big white geese.Wang Xizhi raised many big white geese back then, which was an elegant thing, and many people have followed suit to this day.But those who raise white geese, the white geese are actually taken care of by domestic servants, and these geese are well trained, but the big white geese raised in the workshop are different, they are raised to watch the house, and if there are people they don’t know, Or someone who is not pleasing to the eye, just "quack" rushes over and is twisted.But they are actually more flexible than dogs. Few of them can escape when a group of them rush over.

Under such circumstances, the textile workshop caught a lot of people who tried to steal the loom, and some even wanted to set fire to steal the loom, but none of them succeeded. It is said that they don't know what it looks like inside the iron sheet, even if they know, if they do something they shouldn't do, according to the document they signed before working, they will not only have to leave, but also have to compensate for the loss of the workshop.That fee is far from enough to sell their whole family.What's more, they are ordinary people who don't know what aristocratic families are. They only think that the emperor is the biggest, and the princes and princesses are below. Now that they know that this workshop belongs to King Ning, how dare they have any wrong thoughts, don't turn around and miss the benefits. , The whole family went underground to reunite.

Those real big businessmen generally have people behind them, and a large part of them are the industries of these aristocratic families. They are aware of the progress of textile technology, and the current output can still guarantee their profits, but the profits will drop sharply. In the future, Li Yue used advanced technology to increase production and lower the price. Not only would they not be able to make money, but they would also lose money. Under such circumstances, it's no wonder they were not in a hurry!Originally, he wanted to use this impeachment to force Li Yue to hand over the new textile machine, but those censors were so useless, so Li Yue was speechless.What can they say? Could it be that those mud-legged people who plan food in the fields are untouchables, the head of Guizhou, where they deserve the title of people, and only scholar-bureaucrats like them are the real people.This kind of thing, even if they think so in their hearts, they dare not say it!Although the common people below seem to be submissive and honest in ordinary times, but when the juncture really comes, there may be many Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouting "Princes and generals, I'd rather have a kind" and rise up!

Li Yue's complete victory made the officials from several aristocratic families feel depressed and regretful. If they had known that this person was so difficult to deal with, they should have come to discuss it with a good voice, instead of bullying Li Yue because he was young and lacked knowledge. I just want to directly use the momentum to pressure each other. This is fine, even if the other party intends to share, they will have to pay a greater price afterwards.

After retiring from the court, some people seem to be walking a bit heavy. They have to go back and think about countermeasures. In the era when money can be spent, the new textile machine is just like a money printing machine, printing money all the time!

As for Li Yue, before he could figure out how to cheat those aristocratic families, the servants beside Li Zhi trotted over to find someone.
