Chapter 793 Bringing the Common People to Make Money

"After four or five breaths, it's almost done!"

Li Xuan said.

"Thank you, Master!"

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others quickly thanked them.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then started chattering again: "Nowadays, my Great Tang is stronger than any dynasty except that the people are small. The court's granary is full, and even if there is a natural disaster, the people will not suffer from famine.

As for the strength of the army, my Great Tang Master is invincible in the world!
Therefore, as Gao Ming said, encouraging people to have children is also the most important thing.

However, isn't it too monotonous to just encourage people to have children? "

"Recreation is not only for the people to give birth, the court also needs to bring these people to make money and restore people's livelihood. Only when the people have money in their hands can they marry wives and dare to have children. Only in this way can our Tang Dynasty be truly strong. "

"The master's intention is to let the imperial court bring the people of Datang to make money?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was startled, and then his face was full of disbelief.

"But master, isn't this the case that the imperial court takes the lead in doing business?"

On the side, Fang Yizhi, Li Chongyi and others were also full of astonishment.

"I didn't expect you to be so pedantic..."

Li Xuan couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Master, Chengqian is just..."

Li Chengqian quickly wanted to explain.

"You don't have to be so serious, today I'm just taking advantage of the meal to chat casually on a whim!" Li Xuan said with a faint smile.

"The meat is cooked, eat quickly, eat quickly!"

With that said, Li Xuan used chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the pot, put it into the bowl in front of him, dipped it in some sesame sauce, then put it directly into his mouth, and started to eat.

Seeing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others moved their throats, and quickly fished out a piece of meat from the pot, quickly put it into their own bowl, dipped it in the sesame sauce, and put it in their mouths.

"hiss……"

However, before taking a few bites, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others subconsciously opened their mouths wide and twisted their faces.

"Master, why is it so spicy?"

"call……"

As he spoke, he picked up the ale on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"There are so many peppers in the pot, you can't see them?"

Li Xuan cast a glance at Cheng Chusi, then picked up a piece of meat from the pot again, stirred it in the sesame sauce, put it in his mouth again, and started eating with relish.

Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others who watched had weird faces. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they might have suspected that what they and Li Xuan ate were not meat cooked in the same pot.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian didn't have so many thoughts, his mind was still full of Li Xuan's words just now.

After drinking a glass of ale, he felt more comfortable, so he hurriedly asked Li Xuan.

"Dare to ask Master, how does the imperial court lead the people of the Tang Dynasty to make money? Moreover, if the common people start to be merchants, who will plant the crops in the Tang Dynasty? Who will study?
In this way, wouldn't the court be in chaos, wouldn't the world be in chaos? "

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but glanced at Li Chengqian, but he still didn't stop eating.

"Gao Ming, who told you that making money from the common people is business?"

"This……"

Li Chengqian was stunned, and quickly cupped his hands and said: "Master, it has been said in ancient books that those who sell things to make money are all merchants, and they are not ashamed!"

"Tsk!"

Li Xuan chuckled, and continued to ask: "Then, those farm households in this Wangzhuang sell vegetables and meat to Chang'an City and the surrounding dignitaries every day. Everyone in Lijiazhuang is a merchant?"

"As for your Zhuangzi, there are Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi, Fang Yizhi... There are so many of you in the Zhuangzi who sell vegetables and crops to people every day. Are you all merchants?"

"Forgive me, master, this is definitely not!"

"Exactly, Master's Lijiazhuang and our Zhuangzi, how could it be the behavior of merchants?"

Li Chengqian also hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Master, it's Chengqian's photoshoot!"

"Gao Ming, there are thousands of ways to make money in the world. But there is only one way for merchants to make money.

Of course, I don't look down on merchants. You have been in Lijiazhuang for several years, and you should all know that this king doesn't look down on merchants like you do. On the contrary, he often encourages people to sell some goods to their homes in their spare time. make money. "

"Handlers grow food, which can be sold for money or used for food. They have also paid corresponding labor, which is worthy of respect. And merchants, who sell a few carts of goods from one city, go to another city to sell at a high price, and earn a lot of money. For money, they have also paid a certain amount of labor, which is also worthy of respect."

"Besides, how many caravans do you wait for?"

"Merchants are not all lowly business as Confucianism says!"

"You can think about it carefully. Today's Confucian civil servants are in power. In their eyes, except for bachelors who read Confucian books, any other school or profession is a lowly thing!..."

"Hey, Master is right. In the eyes of those sour scholars, except for them, everyone is a head lower than them!"

"That's right, if it weren't for those sour scholars who are hard to provoke, I would like to beat them up one by one!"

Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and the others all nodded their heads in agreement.

As for Fang Yizhi, Du Gou, Changsun Chong, and Wang Xuance, they were all embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to look like this. This king is just telling Gao Ming, don't always listen to those sour Confucian words in everything, and don't always believe in those Confucian books. You know, many times, those In order to improve their status, acid scholars even dare to distort the words of saints!"

Li Xuan smiled helplessly, and said, "Eat quickly, once the hot pot is opened, you can't stop!"

"Yes, Master!"

Cheng Chusi responded obediently, and quickly started to eat.

Li Chengqian also picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, couldn't help it, and asked again: "Master, how do you lead those common people to make money?"

"Gao Ming, you can think about it, how does the Li Family Village make money? How do the farmers in your Zhuangzi make money?" Li Xuan said slowly.

Li Chengqian looked enlightened, "Thank you, Master!"

"In addition, how does the farm next door make money? You should also know!" Li Xuan said again.

"Master, I'll find out later!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Chusi's eyes lit up again.

"I heard that now, the old soldiers in those farms can eat meat every ten days or so, and drink a lot of wine. In addition, those old soldiers can also save dozens of dollars. Spend money!"

"Most of them have no children, and they don't know what is the use of saving so much money?"

Li Xuan laughed lightly, and said again: "Also, Gao Ming, do you know what the housing construction department is doing now? How many houses can they build every day? And the road construction department, how many roads can each of them pave?
Now, how many rich and powerful families do not have concrete houses to live in? "
