"Your Majesty, the production of cattle has been sluggish recently, and many of them have died for no reason."
"If we focus on business, I suggest increasing cattle production!"
Um? ha?
Three question marks appeared above the heads of the ministers.
How to improve?
Are you having a calf with an old cow?
Let’s get down to business here, what are you talking about?
"Stop talking nonsense and just stand there!" Li Shimin was also speechless.
This gangster is not stingy and will commit gangbusters at any time.
"Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. There are too few old cattle and the land cannot be plowed. This will extremely affect the development of agriculture." Cheng Yaojin argued again.
"Get back!"
Li Shimin finally couldn't control the anger in his heart and cursed loudly.
Cheng Yaojin curled his lips.
It is also a national matter for old cows to give birth to many calves...
"Re-business is a good thing, but it is not that easy to implement..."
Cheng Yaojing retreated, and another old man stood up.
Gao Shilian!
Gao Shilian bowed to Li Shimin and pointed to the point of the topic...
"People don't have money to do business. This policy doesn't seem to bring any benefits to the people, right?"
"On the other hand, those big businessmen are making more and more money..."
"As you said before, when the people have saved enough money, it will be a peaceful and prosperous time, why do they need to do business?
All the ministers' eyes lit up.
yes.
How can people become rich if they don’t have money to do business?
"I think you understand what mercantile means."
Wei Shuyu still responded unhurriedly: "As the saying goes, first make a group of people rich, and then drive a group of people!"
"As we said before, in the Tang Dynasty, besides farming, there were many people doing nothing."
"And this group of people who have become rich will recruit workers, thereby driving a group of people!"
"Let me give you an analogy..."
"A merchant produces and sells his own silk, and makes a living by selling silk."
"First, he purchased silk and led a group of people to breed sericulture."
"Secondly, silk was made into clothes, which led to a group of clothes makers."
"Thirdly, selling clothes has led to a group of boys selling clothes."
"It is inevitable that some miscellaneous personnel such as accountants and guards will be needed."
"If you break it down, one small businessman can lead hundreds of people."
"Ten, a hundred, a thousand..."
"And what about those big businessmen?"
Uh-huh...
All the officials were almost numb.
Wei Shuyuyuan passed him by again.
They couldn't find any words to refute.
"That's not right either!"
Gao Shilian shook his head again and retorted: "Silk is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it. People mainly rely on food, clothing, and housing. Where can there be so many things to sell?"
Wei Shuyu thought for a while.
"As for this issue..."
Suddenly, Wei Shuyu raised his head and looked at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I have mentioned innovative strategies to your Majesty before. I wonder what the results are now?"
Wei Shuyu didn't mention it, and Li Shimin almost forgot about it.
Immediately shouted: "Where is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"I'm here!"
Duan Lun went out to salute.
"It's been nearly a month since the innovative strategy was proposed. How has the effect been?" Li Shimin spoke solemnly.
"Your Majesty, since the Ministry of Industry issued the reward, a total of nearly a thousand innovative items have been received."
"The Ministry of Industry is verifying it, among which..."
When he said this, Duan Lun couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yaojin: "There are many artifacts that benefit the country and many merchants' things that benefit the people!"
Um?
Li Shimin suddenly became interested: "A magical weapon that benefits the country? Are you sure?"
"Your Majesty, the most attractive thing among them is an invention called the Quyuan Plow."
"It replaces the straight-shaft plow. It does not require an ox and only needs an adult to pull it!"
(Quyuanli was born in the Tang Dynasty)
What?
Li Shimin stood up in shock.
If there is no need for cattle, it means that Datang can develop more land.
You can have more food!
Under the Equal Land System, one adult man was given one hundred acres of land. Wasn't it because the Tang Dynasty didn't have enough land?
no.
It’s because Datang didn’t have that many great people!
"Duan Lun, talking nonsense in the court is a crime of deceiving the emperor. You must think clearly before speaking!"
"If such an artifact is real, the food production of our Datang Dynasty can increase dramatically..."
"The artifact comes to the world, God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
The ministers were extremely shocked and spoke out one after another.
This Quyuanli is really too important.
"Duan Lun, has it been verified?"
Sitting back on the dragon throne, Li Shimin returned to the majestic emperor again.
"I hope your majesty will forgive me."
"The Ministry of Industry has tested it and there is no problem for the time being."
"But this song Yuanli is of great importance. In order to avoid having an empty joy, I would like to do a few more tests before presenting it."
Duan Lun bowed and responded.
Such an item of great merit must be repeatedly tested and verified before being released.
Once he was in a hurry to receive the credit, something went wrong with Qu Yuuli, which made Li Shimin furious.
Being scolded a few times is a small matter, but it would be a big loss if you were demoted because of it.
"What Ai Qing said is true. Such a magical weapon that benefits the country should be cautious and cautious."
Li Shimin nodded cooperatively.
As long as Qu Yuuli is true, everything you say is right!
As he spoke, Li Shimin seemed to remember something and began to ask: "Did you just say that the people also provided thousands of items?"
"Your Majesty, we have underestimated the wisdom of the people. If innovative policies had been proposed earlier, perhaps the Tang Dynasty would have undergone earth-shaking changes." Duan Lun sighed.
"oh?"
Li Shimin suddenly became interested: "Is there any more surprises?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Duan Lun began to tell them one by one.
Those who hunt, fish, make furniture, cook...
There was also a blacksmith who not only developed a long-range crossbow, but also invented horseshoes.
Listening to Duan Lun's words, Li Shimin was confused and all the officials were confused...
Are there really so many talents in the world?
"His Majesty!"
At this moment, Wei Shuyu came out and said: "As the saying goes, three hundred and sixty lines, every line is outstanding!"
"I beg your Majesty to reward these innovators generously!"
Li Shimin suddenly woke up.
Then he burst into laughter...
The hearty laughter resounded throughout the Tai Chi Hall!
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."
"Under your Majesty's leadership, the Tang Dynasty is destined to last forever..."
With the flattery of the ministers, Li Shimin's smile became even stronger.
Suddenly, Li Shimin shouted: "Duan Aiqing!"
"I'm here!"
"I order you to draw up a list and submit it. I want to see with my own eyes who invented these magical objects!"
"promise."
Li Shimin looked at Wei Shuyu again.
"Shu Yu, you are very good."
Li Shimin smiled from ear to ear: "I remember that this innovative move was the first idea you proposed."
"Now that I have achieved such great achievements, I cannot favor one thing over another!"
"In passing on the edict, Wei Shuyu has made great contributions to his advice. He will be granted the title of Wannian County Male, with a residence of 300 households, and a reward of 500 pieces of silk!"
Title?
baron?
You old man...
Not only was Wei Shuyu not happy, but he looked like he had just woken up from a dream.
You said at first that you would ennoble me if you found the jade seal passed down from the country, but why are you delaying this?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wei Shuyu bowed to thank him.
And just when Li Shimin was in joy, an unexpected person suddenly stood up...
Fang Xuanling!
He took a step forward and bowed to Li Shimin...
"Your Majesty, does the emergence of various innovative strategies mean that businessmen are no longer important?"
