After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 388 Conflict of Ideas

Obviously, Li Chenan couldn't convince Li Wenhou, and Li Wenhou had nothing to do with Li Chenan.

This is the difference in their ideologies.

From Li Chenan's point of view, he certainly knows the importance of boosting the handicraft industry and business.

But after all, this is a society with farming culture as the main body, educated by feudal ideology, Li Wenhou's persistence is understandable.

So Li Chen'an gave up persuading Li Wenhou, because even if he persuaded one Li Wenhou at this moment, there would be countless ministers like Li Wenhou who would stand up and stop him later.

That doesn't mean he's giving up.

Instead, he needs to call together many important ministers to solve this problem at once.

Instead of using force or power to force it, he needs to present facts and reason to convince them and let them understand the profound significance of this move.

After all, the final execution is those ministers.

If they resist in their hearts, this matter cannot be carried out at all.

But to cure Ningguo's poor disease, it must start with industry and commerce.

Li Chenan waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore."

Li Wenhou refused to budge: "If you are wrong, you are wrong!"

Li Chenan's neck slumped: "It's too early to say something wrong now!"

Li Wenhou: "The child is stubborn and cannot be taught!"

Li Chenan: "Old and decayed, not sculptable!"

Li Wenhou blushed and the guy with a thick neck stood up: "I quit!"

Li Chenan also stood up alone, with a fierce look in his eyes: "If you dare to lay down the burden, I will dare to throw fireworks into your yard!"

Li Wenhou was taken aback, his eyes widened, "Dou, I'm not Ji Tai! You think I'm afraid of you!"

Eunuch Chang at the side took a look, yo, both of them are stubborn, but they are stuck, no way, I have to persuade them.

So, the old eunuch Chang walked over and smiled.

"Lord Li, it's all for Ningguo!"

"Whether it's Lord Li or the regent, everyone's starting point is good."

"If you lay down the burden because of disagreement with your political views... this is not the style of the old Li family!"

"The miscellaneous family would also take the liberty to say something more. Although the regent is young and kind-hearted, he is serious in his work!"

"If you really quit, the Prince Regent may dare to throw fireworks into your yard... If word of this spreads, it may become Mr. Li's reputation as an admonisher, but Mr. Li should also think about how the people will think of the Prince Regent. !"

This is said lightly.

The implication is that if Li Wenhou really resigned because of this matter, wouldn't the common people think that the regent is a brutal tyrant.

Not a good name.

Li Wenhou glared at Li Chenan fiercely, and sat down angrily.

Wang Zheng Jinzhong, who was standing in the corner watching the excitement, also walked over at this time: "Prince Regent, what's the matter with calling your subordinates down?"

"sit!"

"Thank you Regent!"

Li Chenan also sat down, didn't talk to Li Wenhou again, he looked at Wang Zheng Jinzhong:

"There are a few things that the Imperial City Secretary has to deal with."

"Please order the Regent!"

"First, all the food in Shuangjiao Mountain will be transported back to the capital, and handed over to Mr. Li!"

"Secondly, the main work of the Imperial City Division will be on the collection of national information!"

"I want the opinions of officials from all over the place, the situation of the people everywhere, especially the places where there are disasters and bandits, the information must be sent as soon as possible!"

"Third... I want information on all the countries around Ningguo!"

"Whether it's military, agricultural, commercial or major changes in their court and so on!"

"From now on, the Imperial City Secretary only has the right to supervise, not to execute!"

"That is to say, the Imperial City Secretary, can no longer kill people at will like before!"

"Any officials with bad deeds, the Imperial City Secretary can collect criminal evidence and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation and execution."

"No more things that go beyond the rules and above the law, otherwise... I'm asking you Wang Zheng Jinzhong!"

Wang Zheng Jinzhong listened carefully, he knew that the power of the Imperial City Secretary was restricted by the regent at this moment.

He didn't raise any objections, because the eldest Sun Jinghong once said a word.

He says……

"This big-leaf banyan grows crookedly, maybe Huang Chengsi's buttocks are crooked."

Now the regent wants to straighten the ass of the Imperial City Division and separate the powers. It is a good thing for the Imperial City Division to control the power of supervision and the Ministry of Punishment to control the power of law enforcement.

"Subordinates obey!"

"Go."

Wang Zheng Jinzhong bid farewell with fists in his hands.

Li Wenhou's anger seemed to have subsided a lot because of Li Chenan's decision, and he even looked at Li Chenan twice more.

Because he understands the benefits of this decision.

"There's nothing wrong with the next officer, let's say goodbye!"

"and many more!"

"Still arguing about that?"

"no!"

Li Chen'an poured a cup of tea for Li Wenhou, "I have invited the Dukes of the four major kingdoms here today, isn't our household department short of money?"

Li Wenhou was taken aback, "You want them to donate money?"

"It's not a donation."

Li Chenan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "When I put them all back to their respective homes, I told them a word."

Li Wenhou leaned over: "What are you talking about?"

"I told them that since the emperor has passed away, the title of duke bestowed upon them by the late emperor... will go with the late emperor!"

"Since everyone thinks highly of me, Li Chen'an, then I, Li Chen'an, will protect the lives of your entire family, on the condition that I make up for 20 years of taxes on the properties they own!"

"In addition, from now on, those industries that originally belonged to Ningguo, whether it is pastures, mines, salt fields, water transportation, weaving, etc., will all be nationalized!"

"These industries are all classified into the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will set up a commercial department to deal with the production, operation, sales and other matters of these state-owned industries."

"This requires a group of business-minded officials. Of course, the original leaders of those industries can also be hired, given official positions, and let them serve Ningguo."

Li Wenhou was taken aback.

Because that is a huge fortune!

Those fortunes have always been occupied by the high-ranking lords of Ningguo, and none of the emperors of the past dynasties would act as the villain and take back those fortunes.

Because that was the reward given by the founding emperor of Ningguo to Conglong's heroes!
The ancestral system cannot be violated!

But now, Li Chen'an actually wants to openly violate this ancestral system...

This is of course very good for Ningguo, but it is a huge blow to the government of the four major kingdoms!

Especially Cheng Guogong's mansion and Qi Guogong's mansion once helped Li Chen'an with all their strength.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is not a good thing!"

Li Chenan waved his hand: "There must be someone to be this villain."

"Wouldn't it be better for the eldest son of the emperor to do it when he returns to the throne?"

Li Chenan pondered for a moment: "It will take some time to find the eldest son of the emperor, but now Ningguo has no time to wait."

"Will they agree?"

"They're all old foxes, and they can tell which is more important. Besides, although these industries are under the management of the household department, there are still many things that need to be relied on by them."

Li Chen'an also leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Second Uncle can use this matter to make some fuss with them!"

Li Wenhou was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Associate!"

"You won't be able to find the people who run those properties for a while. I think you can give them [-]% of the profits. The Ministry of Households will control the ownership of those properties and sell them the management rights!"

"But it needs a limited time, such as five years!"

"In the future, if I cure Ruoshui's illness and come back, I'll teach you how to auction off the management rights!"

"Open private capital to come in, divide those industries, bid separately, operate separately, and form a competitive situation, then all the initiative is in your hands!"

"how?"

Li Wenhou was taken aback. He still didn't understand how much impact Li Chenan's words would have. He only knew that by doing so, the national treasury would increase at least half of its income!

The most painful thing for him now is that there is not a few taels of silver in the account of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but once Li Chen'an is a villain, this problem seems to be solved easily.

However, would the Dukes of the Four Kingdoms really hand over those gold and silver mountains so easily?
This is cutting their flesh!
"This is business!"

"Will you still object to my claim?"

"They will come later, be smart and cooperate with me to fool around!"

Li Wenhou was speechless.

Looking up, I saw the four old princes walking in with dark faces.
