After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Luo Ye kowtowed.

Thank you.

He got up and left Hanyuan Hall with the body of Duke Luo.

Standing outside the door of Hanyuan Hall, he looked up at the sky.

The winter sun was not dazzling, nor was it very warm. At this moment, he felt the chill of winter.

The little emperor only gave him a salt farm in the most remote Yanzhou, which actually didn't mean anything. What he never expected was that the little emperor actually wanted him to live in Dingyou for three years!

This means that he cannot leave Kyoto for three years!

This is a signal!
A signal that made him extremely uneasy!

How much does he know about selling salt to the deserted country?
How much does he know about transporting the silver to Dongli Island?
No matter what happens, it is a crime of beheading or even confiscating the family and genocide!
If he does get a handle on those things... bad!
Luo Ye was shocked, he was careless!
After all, I still underestimated the little emperor, so I had to send the Luo family disciples scattered everywhere to Dongli Island!
Especially his three sons.

Luo Lie was well versed in military books and martial arts.

Luo Fang is good at business, especially accounting.

The youngest son Luo Yuan... This is a worthless thing. He has no use except looking for flowers and asking for help.

But after all, it was his son, so he couldn't just watch his head be chopped off.

This matter must be done now!
Luo Ye left in a hurry.

The Hanyuan Hall was extremely quiet at the moment.

Standing aside to preside over the enthronement ceremony, Qintian Supervisor Zheng Yuan Qidou didn’t know what to do——

The auspicious time has passed, and it would be inappropriate to read out the documents that should have been read out at this time!

Tian probably couldn't hear it.

But if it is proposed to hold the enthronement ceremony at another date, he has already called me and sat on the dragon chair.

Let's just say he has become the de facto emperor... He is not wearing the dragon robe that represents the emperor!

What was originally a simple but solemn enthronement ceremony turned into what it is now because of his lateness.

How to clean up?
How to proceed?

Yuan Qidou, who is very knowledgeable, was stumped by this unprecedented question.

He looked at Li Chenan, hoping that this unreliable emperor would bring it up himself.

Li Chenan spoke at this time, but he didn't look like an emperor at all.

He scratched his head and first looked at Huang Xiumu, Minister of Industry:

"Master Huang,"

Huang Xiumu never expected that the emperor would be the first to call his name!

He should start with Wen Shoufu!

This is a compliment to the veterans, affirming their contributions, and urging them to help us create a prosperous era in the future!
He quickly stepped forward and bowed:
"Chen is here!"

"Two things for you!"

In the eyes of all the ministers, Li Chenan went straight to the point without a word of nonsense.

Many ministers seemed to have woken up at this time, and they deeply felt that the newly enthroned emperor was indeed different.

The first person he ordered was the Minister of Industry...

He sent people from the Ministry of Industry to build a huge Academy of Sciences at the foot of Qishan Mountain!
He also brought in so many craftsmen from all walks of life from all over the country!

This is enough to show that there has been a huge change in the direction of Ningguo——

This is a supplement to the national policy of boosting industry and commerce that he proposed two years ago, but this supplement is extremely powerful, and the word "I" is particularly highlighted!

It seems that the status of the Ministry of Industry among the six ministries will be greatly improved, and this old guy Huang Xiumu will definitely be reused by the emperor!
But what Li Chenan said next shocked everyone:

"The first thing is to replace this chair and make a sofa here."

The ministers were suddenly shocked!
That is the dragon throne that represents the supreme status!

He actually wanted to replace the dragon chair!

Change to another one...

What is a sofa?
Huang Xiumu also stared at Li Chenan in stunned silence, his mind quickly recalling the knowledge recorded in various books, wanting to know what a sofa was.

Li Chenan seemed to realize that he had let slip. He gestured towards Huang Xiumu, "Come on, come on, I will draw this thing for you to see. It is very simple, but it will be very comfortable to sit on."

"There is only one dragon chair in a country, and only one person can sit on it."

"This thing cannot be promoted or sold, and it cannot produce any value at all." "But the sofa is different!"

"It's cheap, high-quality, and easy to make. It can go into the homes of ordinary people!"

"The so-called work is the tool!"

"The efficiency and quality of business are all changed by tools."

"The ultimate purpose of business is to make money, and it is also to let people all over the world enjoy a better life!"

"How can we let people enjoy a better life?"

“Letting people earn money is one, and letting people use the money they earn to buy goods that improve their lives is another.”

"When the product is sold, people like it, businesses can make money, and the country can get tax revenue. This is a win-win-win situation!"

"Master Huang, I asked you to come up, why are you standing there in a daze?"

All the officials below were looking at Li Chenan at this moment, with shock and confusion in their eyes.

They still didn't know what a sofa was, but they heard something different from Li Chenan's words.

After more than two years, the direction of the country has actually turned.

From being heavy on literature, it has become heavy on business.

Originally, they thought that this was the best that could be done, because an excessive commercial atmosphere would lead to the pursuit of profit by all the people, and the consequence would be the collapse of the moral etiquette that had sustained this society for thousands of years.

But now I hear Li Chenan say this...

The business atmosphere in the future will definitely be more intense!

Is this good or bad?

The advantage seems to be a win-win situation as he said, but the disadvantage is what the officials are worried about.

When an official was about to refute Li Chenan's words, Li Chenan said again:
"I know you won't understand for a while."

"It doesn't matter. Sooner or later you will understand."

“What I want to tell you is that only the economic base determines the superstructure!”

"What do you mean?"

"You can simply understand that when the country has money, it can do many things!"

"For example, universal education allows all children in the country to study, building roads and building more public facilities to facilitate people's travel, improving people's livelihood and solving problems such as providing for the elderly."

"Of course, we can also strengthen the army. In addition to defending our Ning country... we can also invade other countries."

"This is the meaning of silver!"

"That's why I want to vigorously promote the foundation of industry and commerce!"

Li Chenan stood up, his face gradually becoming serious.

"I believe you all know that the national treasury is empty these years, and even your monthly salary is often unable to be paid."

"Then please ask yourselves, is such poverty really worth remembering? Is it worth cherishing and cherishing?"

"I don't like living in poverty!"

"I just like the money to fill the treasury!"

"Whoever told me to only drink porridge and not eat meat, I will chop off his head so that you can't even drink porridge!"

"I don't like those vain things!"

Li Chenan waved his hand and said loudly:

"Make money!"

"My purpose in becoming this emperor is to make money!"

"It's not for myself, it's for you, your descendants, and the people of Ning Kingdom!"

"My ultimate goal is to enjoy it."

"For example, basking in the sun carefree under the warm winter sun."

"We are still far away from this goal. From this moment on, I will take you on the road."

Li Chen settled for a moment, glanced at the ministers with his hands behind his back,
"This is my policy as emperor!"

"After I have finished speaking, who agrees and who opposes?" (End of this chapter)
