Chapter 1710: Selfishness and serving the country and the people

On the way back to the East Palace.

Su Qingling and Lu Wanjie followed Li Chengqian on the left and right.

And since they came out of Kunning Palace, the eye contact between the two people has never stopped.

Li Chengqian has abilities that others don't have.

At this moment, there was no need to look back, as he knew the little movements of the two people behind his back.

"If you two have anything to say, just say it."

"Do you still need to tuck yourself in with me?"

Li Chengqian said in disbelief.

Hearing this, the two women were stunned.

Then, the two looked at each other again, and Su Qingling spoke first.

"As women, we should not be involved in government affairs."

"But after hearing what His Highness said today, we both have our own opinions."

Su Qingling bit her red lips and said, "We all feel that you shouldn't treat the nobles like this."

"Why?"

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, stopped, and turned to look at the two of them.

Since the first day of their marriage, the two girls have almost never disobeyed his wishes, and they have never contradicted him.

But this time the two of them were really out of character.

He directly unified the tone and said that Li Chengqian should not treat the nobles in this way.

But seeing Li Chengqian's eyes.

Su Qingling was also a little hesitant, and said directly: "Some nobles are indeed a bit hateful. Things like robbing people's daughters, extorting people's wealth, seizing people's fields, etc. have often happened."

"But His Highness has to admit that the Tang Dynasty is as stable as it is today, all thanks to these nobles keeping things in check."

"Let those below and the enemy invaders outside not dare to cause trouble."

"It can be said that the nobility is the sharpest sword in the hands of the royal family."

"But if His Highness offends all these people to death today, who else will serve His Highness in the future?"

"Or, after there is no more profit, who will serve the court wholeheartedly?"

Su Qingling's words can be considered well-founded.

People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.

If you want someone to risk their lives, you have to promise huge profits, otherwise who will risk their lives for you?

Is it just for the country and the court?

This may be useful to some people, but to most people, it is empty talk.

What people want is tangible and visible benefits.

But after hearing Su Qingling's words, Li Chengqian laughed out loud and turned to look at Lu Wanjie: "Where is Wanjie? What do you think?"

Lu Wanjie didn't speak, just lowered her head.

See this scene.

Li Chengqian finally understood.

They both had the same idea.

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly and said, "You two only know one, but not the other."

"If you want people to work hard, you need to be promised huge profits."

“But heavy profits can only be afforded in the early stages of starting a business.”

"For eight hundred years in the Zhou Dynasty, the world perished due to disputes among the princes. Where did these princes come from? Wasn't it because the Zhou Dynasty successively gave us huge profits?"

"The great Han Dynasty was so powerful, but in the end, didn't he end up in a strange place because there were too many princes in the world?"

Li Chengqian looked at the two of them and said, "Giving benefits depends on the time and situation."

"In the current situation of our Datang Dynasty, it is no longer suitable to allow others to benefit."

"What we have to do is to unite all the people and let everyone speak out in unison."

"It may be difficult to implement it at the beginning. As you said, there are still many selfish people in this world."

"However, as long as there are 30% of people in the world who believe in the country and the imperial court, they will regard the country and the people as their own responsibility."

"Then our country will never perish and will always be the most powerful dynasty and country!"

When saying this.

A halo seemed to appear on Li Chengqian's body.

It is so dazzling, so glorious, and so majestic.

Su Qingling and Lu Wanjie were stunned unconsciously, and it took them a while to come back to their senses...
