Li Ke almost jumped up. Li Shimin said it was a real beating!
"No, no, no, I was wrong. Dad, our old Li family is the emperor and the royal family. It can be said that the world belongs to you. Therefore, just listen to this scholar, farmer, industrialist, and merchant. Why don't you take it seriously? You don't want to I think it’s understandable that agriculture, as the foundation of a country, should be placed second.”
"What is work? There are craftsmen all over the world. It is no exaggeration to say that the cost of food and clothing is related to craftsmen. And the improvement of agricultural tools can be done without craftsmen? Without craftsmen, how can we still cultivate slash and burn farming? For example, without craftsmen, the Tang Dynasty Can our army be invincible?"
"No water conservancy craftsman in the country could have so many bridges across rivers and so many ships traveling throughout the Tang Dynasty? The palace you live in, the carriages you travel on, and the bowls and chopsticks you eat with, it can be said that everything is related to craftsmen. The result is that such an important craftsman Is it right to put it in third place?”
"As for the businessmen at the bottom of the ranking, they all say that businessmen pursue profits, but look at it, among the so-called noble families in the world, which one has completely given up doing business? Which one of the princes and ministers does not have several trading houses and inns under its name?"
"And merchants are also responsible for the most important logistics in the country. There are only a few granaries in the Tang Dynasty. In a super city like Chang'an City, if there are no merchants, who will transport the grain? Who will transport the cloth? Only merchants can make the Tang Dynasty more prosperous. !Businessmen are also an indispensable part of the entire country’s society.”
"Finally, let's go back and take a look. There are countless noble families who are ranked first, eating and waiting to die, and lying on the people to suck blood. However, the biggest group of moths is ranked first. Think about it. What? It’s just a tool for these nobles to monopolize books and use them as an excuse to rule the people. Don’t you want to hear it? There is a saying that you haven’t heard before, a flowing dynasty is a strong family!”
Li Ke has completely let go of himself. There are some things he didn't dare to say before, but now he has let go. At worst, he will run away. With that thing in his mind, how can the world be so big?
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with a strange expression: "Have you forgotten that our Li family is also a wealthy family?"
"Isn't that a porcelain thing?" Li Ke said subconsciously.
"You!" Li Shimin was almost angered to death by Li Ke, this traitor! Where the hell did you hear that? !
"Ahem... misunderstanding, dad, isn't it the butt that determines the head! Our Li family is different now. We are the royal family, and the royal family represents this country. We naturally have to think about the people of the world, so naturally we cannot be confused with a wealthy family. ." Li Ke said quickly, "So, for the sake of the reputation of our royal family, I feel that I have an obligation to go to Yizhou and take up the post. I will supervise Yizhou on your behalf, develop the people's livelihood in Yizhou, and make the people of Yizhou live a better life. Every household Let me set up a tablet of immortality for you!"
"No!" Li Shimin said directly without thinking.
"Why?!" Li Ke was a little confused. He had never thought of asking Li Shimin to agree all at once, but Li Shimin's objection was so straightforward that he didn't even think about it. Didn't he just say that he would do the work himself?
"It's nothing, I'm not dead yet, you haven't fulfilled your filial piety yet, and you want to run away? You think so well, just stay with me in Chang'an!" Li Shimin said with wide eyes.
"Dad, don't you always think that I caused trouble for you in Chang'an? Did I make you angry? Now in Yizhou, you are out of sight and out of mind!" Li Ke was a little anxious.
"Out of sight and out of mind, wouldn't it mean that when I want to hit someone, I won't be able to find them?" Li Shimin glanced at him indifferently.
"No, look at Li Tai who is so fat and obviously lacks exercise. If it's okay, you can beat him up. Since you are determined to let him inherit the position of eldest brother, the so-called heaven will give a great responsibility to this person, so he must first work hard and work hard for him. Muscles and bones...you beat him to train him." Li Ke said quickly.
Li Shimin: "..."
Chang Lin: "..."
"Would you like to get out of here? I'm telling you it's not allowed. If you say one more word, it's a ten-army stick!" Li Shimin said, glaring.
Li Ke: "..."
Okay, you are noble, you are amazing, you are awesome! I can't afford to offend you, why can't I hide? !
Li Ke turned around and walked away in despair without saying a word, because more than eight years of experience told him that if he didn't leave, if he said one more word, Li Shimin would really mean what he said, and he didn't want to get slapped with a military stick for no reason.
Looking at Li Ke's leaving figure, Li Shimin didn't specifically tell him to keep anything secret, because he also knew Li Ke. This kid had trouble with him, but he never gossiped behind his back. He would definitely not tell such things.
But his mood was not calm at all.
This guy's personality hasn't changed, but what he said today... touched Li Shimin a lot.
"Chang Lin." Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty." Chang Lin took a deep breath and bowed quickly.
"Do you think you heard what Li Ke said today? Do you think what this kid said was what he thought?" Li Shimin asked.
Chang Lin paused for a moment. Li Shimin didn't seem to be really confused when he said this, but he obviously wanted to judge from the perspective of others.
"To answer your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the King of Shu has a somewhat muddled personality, he is not stupid. On the contrary, His Highness the King of Shu is very smart. Do you think Mr. Su is stupid?" Chang Lin said softly.
Li Shimin nodded. Indeed, Cheng Yaojin looked out of place, but he was not stupid at all.
But what Li Ke said today...a lot of content touched even Li Shimin a lot! He also knew that these words... other people really couldn't say them, including the ministers at the top.
Let him go to Yizhou to take office? Li Shimin quickly denied it in his heart, it was impossible! What should I do if I let him go after he succeeded? !
Of course, Li Shimin would not admit that among so many sons, Li Ke was actually the one he felt most comfortable with, despite the fact that he often caused trouble and spoke irritatingly.
After leaving Liangyi Hall, Li Ke was a little depressed. He didn't know what was wrong. According to his thoughts, after today's words, I must have some thoughts. Whether he is angry or thoughtful, he will definitely consider it. His idea is that if he does more things, Li Shimin can let him take office.
As a result, Li Shimin didn't even think about it and refused directly. This... the script was wrong. He had been taking advantage of me for eight years. In the past, he had guessed his reaction quite accurately. What happened today?
After thinking for a long time, Li Ke couldn't figure it out. He was angry! No, let's go see where Changsun Chong is and whether he steps with his left foot first today! I haven’t beaten him yet this month!
Li Ke did what he thought of and ran directly towards the city gate. However, before he could go far, he met several palace maids hurriedly walking over. The leading palace maid, Li Ke, knew him and was from Queen Changsun's side. One of the personal maids, and the one next to her seems to be Changle's maid.
