Ga?
As Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Tai Chi Hall fell into an eerie silence again.
Fang Xuanling.
Li Shimin's chief butler is his absolute confidant!
To a certain extent, Fang Xuanling was more loyal to Li Shimin than Wei Zheng!
Wei Zhengzhong is the people of Li!
Fang Xuanling is loyal to Li Shimin!
Li Shimin supported the pro-business policy, and Fang Xuanling opposed it, which was against Li Shimin's will.
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
Even Li Shimin was in a daze for a moment.
"What does Fang Aiqing have to say?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Shimin also trusted Fang Xuanling 100%.
So he is willing to listen to the other party's opinion.
"Your Majesty, if the Quyuan plow can really replace the oxen, then we should focus on agriculture..."
Fang Xuanling said loudly: "The main thing is to open up wasteland and hoard food!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin also fell into deep thought.
As long as there is food, the imperial power can be completely consolidated.
It seems that it really doesn’t matter whether you value business or not...
"Shuyu, what do you think?" Li Shimin still asked.
We have reached this point in the debate. If we object at all, it will chill the hearts of the Wei family.
"His Majesty."
Wei Shuyu gave a solemn salute: "I believe that there is no conflict between the policy of valuing business and opening up wasteland for farming!"
Wei Shuyu also reacted.
If you want to implement the mercantile policy at this moment, you must not only convince Fang Xuanling, but also Li Shimin!
"I still hold objections."
Fang Xuanling stood up and looked at Wei Shuyu: "Shuyu, Uncle Fang knows that you have worked hard for this mercantile business, but you are still young and do not understand the situation of the court."
"The more you argue, the clearer the principles become; the more you discuss the truth, the clearer it becomes."
Wei Shuyu responded with a confident smile: "Shouldn't everyone in the court express their opinions and make suggestions for the Tang Dynasty? What does Uncle Fang think?"
"Well said."
Fang Xuanling nodded: "Then I will discuss it with you..."
Wei Shuyu was the same age as Fang Yiai, and he had always treated him as a junior. However, Wei Shuyu's words were intended to argue with Fang Xuanling as a courtier.
"The Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous, but in fact there are still many people who don't have enough to eat..."
"Besides, the national treasury is empty, so we must guard against sudden changes!"
"Once another accident occurs, it will damage the foundation of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The top priority is to focus on agricultural development and quickly accumulate food..."
Fang Xuanling talked eloquently.
Unlike the rest of the rebuttals.
Fang Xuanling always considered things from the court's perspective, and was more confident and calm than some people who were mixed with selfish motives.
It will be extremely difficult to refute this aspect.
"Uncle Fang is right."
Wei Shuyu nodded: "But there doesn't seem to be any conflict between the two, right?"
"The policy of land reclamation is for people to reclaim their own land."
"The policy of mercantile, merchants do their own trade..."
"Those merchants who have some money will not lower their worth to cultivate land."
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but frowned again.
Wei Shuyu's reaction was really sensitive.
No matter how you argue, you can always find a flaw in it.
"There is no conflict in policy, but your rhetoric conflicts with your previous remarks."
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "If a businessman wants to make a lot of money, he has to recruit people..."
"We are recruiting ordinary people."
"The common people have gone to work for the merchants, how many people are still going to open up wasteland?"
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Li Shimin also nodded, feeling that it was quite reasonable.
Wei Shuyu frowned...
After looking at the Wat board, I saw that the records on it had pretty much said it all, and there was nothing to argue with.
"Shu Yu, what do you say?"
Seeing Wei Shuyu also lost in thought, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.
The pro-business policy failed, but there was an extra Quyuanli artifact.
He was already satisfied.
Moreover, Wei Shuyu's performance today was really outstanding, and he was very satisfied.
What made him most satisfied was that Xiao Wei was speechless...
I don’t know why?
My heart felt very comfortable.
Li Shimin had already made up his mind to visit Wei Zheng after going to court.
Then he patted Wei Zheng on the shoulder and expressed his cordial condolences: Xiao Wei is quite capable, but he is still not as good as the courtiers. Aiqing needs to teach Xiao Wei more...
Damn it, this scene makes me feel happy just thinking about it.
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace."
At this moment, Wei Shuyu murmured.
Fang Xuanling, as Zuopushe of Shangshu Province, knew everything about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. If he continued to argue according to the other party's ideas, he would definitely lose!
If you want to win the argument, you have to find another way!
The ministers did not hear clearly, but what Wei Shuyu said next shocked the ministers...
"The Tang Dynasty seems to be peaceful now, but throughout history, there are other dynasties that have reached this peak."
"But why did they perish in the end?"
"If we blindly follow the rules and the future generations of the Tang Dynasty encounter a foolish emperor, what will happen to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?"
Damn it.
I'm coming……
That familiar feeling came again.
In order to pass the bill, Wei Zheng felt like he was going crazy again!
Wei Shuyu also started to speak indiscriminately!
Li Shimin's cheeks darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Isn't this a curse on him?
"Shu Yu, watch your words!" Fang Xuanling scolded sternly.
Wei Shuyu is not Wei Zheng.
If he speaks nonsense in the court and attracts attacks from civil and military officials, Li Shimin will not be able to protect him!
However, Wei Shuyu ignored it. His purpose was to pass the bill!
If the proposal was rejected for the first time, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Wei family?
Looking at Fang Xuanling with burning eyes...
"According to what Uncle Fang said, the Tang Dynasty has gone through a temporary crisis, but once future emperors reform the land, or corrupt officials run rampant and extort excessive taxes, how will the people deal with it?"
"When the people are cornered, they have only one way to go..."
"rebel!"
really……
The father and son of the Wei family are more daring to say that they are really not afraid of death.
“Can mercantile business change this situation?”
This time, it was Li Shimin who spoke.
Li Shimin was more concerned about this issue than Fang Xuanling.
"It can add another level of protection!"
Wei Shuyu nodded: "The people's rebellion was largely due to the fact that they had reached a dead end."
"If there is a way to survive..."
"Who is willing to risk the death of the Nine Clans to rebel?"
"Even if someone does rebel, who would be willing to follow them?"
Huh?
Wei Shuyu's words really made Li Shimin think deeply.
“How to increase protection?”
Li Shimin not only did not stop Wei Shuyu, but started to get to the bottom of it.
Dynasties change too frequently.
This is something that every emperor knows very well, but is unwilling to mention or face.
"Business world!"
Wei Shuyu's eyes were firm and he said decisively: "When there are merchants everywhere in the Tang Dynasty..."
"Even if the policies of later generations go wrong."
“Even if something goes wrong with the land.”
"People can still support their families by working."
"This is equivalent to having one more way to survive!"
Everyone was shocked by these remarks, which simply subverted their cognition.
From ancient times to the present, I have only heard of businessmen harming the country, but never heard of businessmen stabilizing the country.
The ministers began to whisper.
"There are problems with policies and land. Even if people make money with merchants, where can they get food?"
Li Chengqian came out.
The ministers, His Majesty, and the Prince all came up.
How could a prince like him lag behind others?
"What I mean is that there is a problem with the policy, not that we cannot get food!"
"If it comes to the point where even if you have money you can't buy food..."
Wei Shuyu raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian, then said something in an understatement...
"It means that the king is foolish and his ministers are incompetent!"
"Then there is no need for this dynasty to exist!"
