"Okay, okay, Your Highness King Qin, please go quickly. You will offend our Emperor again soon, and I won't intercede for you." Empress Changsun also smiled and waved her hand.
"Yes, I'm leaving." Li Ke bowed to Empress Changsun first, then bowed to his mother and concubines, and other concubines. Some of the concubines also returned the salute, and then Li Ke left.
After Li Ke left the Zhengdian Hall and the footsteps went away, the kind smile on Queen Changsun's face disappeared, and turned into a warm smile with no hint of emotion: "You guys also I have all heard it. After your majesty and the others have finished talking, you can go back on your own. You are not comfortable being here with me. You don’t need to accompany us. If someone asks you to come here, please convey the words of King Qin intact. That’s it.”
"Yes." Everyone except Yang Fei said.
Of course, the likes of Concubine Wei and the others had to make up the numbers, otherwise these Jieyu and talented people would not dare to answer casually.
"Hey, dad, let me comfort you." After Li Ke came out, Li Ke ran to Li Shimin to ask for credit.
Li Shimin glanced at him sideways, "Isn't it you who caused this?"
"What does that have to do with me? Who asked you to beat me?" Li Ke refused. I had to help you when I was beaten. How can you blame me?
"Okay, okay, this is over. Chang Lin, put this away." Li Shimin pointed to the things on the table.
Chang Lin had already asked the eunuch to bring over a wooden box, and silently collected the contents and put them into the wooden box.
"I already know about the clan affairs, you..." Li Shimin didn't know what to say for a moment. Li Ke could be said to have solved all the original problems.
"Are you so sure that Sleepless City's profits are that high?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
Li Ke smiled. From ancient times to the present, poor people cannot imagine the life of rich people. At most, they can imagine an emperor working with gold poles and eating with gold bowls and chopsticks.
In some aspects, the aristocratic family enjoys it much more than Li Shimin and others.
What Li Ke has to do is to let them know that what they enjoyed before is nothing at all. In the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty, this is called enjoyment!
Even though this is ancient times, it is certain that the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty will soon gather all the rich people in the entire Tang Dynasty to spend money here. Can the profits not be high?
"Whether it's high or not, it's not a loss for us. Even if it's not high, I have plenty of ways to help them get enough profits." Li Ke said lightly.
"Okay, you must have a lot of things that you haven't said to these clan members. You can tell them." Li Shimin thought for a while and said.
"I think it's like me, Li Tai, and Li Zhi. You can just withdraw the positions of the princes like me, Li Tai, and Li Zhi. It's not necessary. You won't let us take up the posts. There's no point in getting empty positions. Put these After the positions are released, there will be a large number of vacancies, and these positions can be handed over to people who can really do things." Li Ke said.
Compared to the clan, princes like Li Shimin had more and more outrageous positions.
But not everyone has a niche.
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment. Some positions in Datang were not just positions, but also represented status.
"Before adulthood, it is enough to have the titles of prince and prince, and nothing else is needed. What's the point of holding these positions in vain? We have made so many reforms in the Tang Dynasty, and we must start with ourselves." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Actually, these are nothing, but wouldn't the vacant positions be filled by officials from powerful families?" Li Shimin sighed and asked, "This doesn't match your original plan, right?"
"Actually, these are all simple. It's just that the results take a long time. The Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty is actually just a bait." Li Ke said with a smile.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. The city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty is all fish bait? How big is this fish?
"What on earth do you want to do?" To be honest... Li Shimin is also a little confused by Li Ke's handiwork.
"I want data." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Data?" Li Shimin was completely confused. How should he explain this data? He didn't quite understand.
"Yes, I want the data of all the merchants in the world, and who these merchants are related to." Li Ke said with a smile. There are so many merchants in the world, and without something large enough, it is impossible to catch all the merchants. How could these businessmen appear without enough benefits and attraction?
And what Li Ke also wants to see is how many businessmen dare to secretly play cutting with these wealthy families.
The aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty represent the gentry, and in the case of the recommendation system, the gentry represents the officials, the aristocratic families represent the officials, and the businessmen represent the merchants. Officials and merchants are entangled with each other. This is an eternal truth. A thousand years from now, even thousands of years from now, this will not change.
Once this data is available, there are so many ways it can be manipulated.
Li Shimin thought for a moment, and he probably knew what Li Ke was going to do. The aristocratic families did have their own businesses, and they were all side branches, or the sons-in-law who had married into the family, but the mainstream still cooperated with the merchant families to take share. The way.
When a businessman's family operates a certain industry, the businessman's family gives him three parts of the influence, and the businessman's family gives him two parts, but the specific business family does not care. Does this pattern sound familiar?
So many things are actually passed down from our ancestors.
And what Li Ke wants to do is to dig up the foundations of these wealthy families?
"Dad, what do you think the imperial power comes from?" Li Ke suddenly asked.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, looked at it and said immediately: "What do you want to say?"
"Dad, I said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Is that true or false?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
This sentence is very popular. The ancient spear was also the main weapon of the army. Li Shimin naturally understood it. He nodded: "Although it is a bit popular, it gets to the core of the problem."
"Dad, if, I mean if, all the generals of the army of the Tang Dynasty, from low-level to high-level, were gradually trained from the common people and educated by the military schools funded by the royal family. They accepted the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism from an early age. Moreover, the military is more rationally deployed, with a recruitment system, regular replacement of military generals, and almost complete separation between the military and the court. In this way, not to mention the top, all the grassroots, middle-level, and a small number of senior generals are from the common people."
"In this case, do you think our royal family doesn't want all other rights, but only the military power, can this country be stable?" Li Ke asked with a smile that made Chang Lin and Qi Lang couldn't help but tremble. Question.
