Xu Zizhen protested loudly: "Nonsense, do you think the carloads of gold and silver treasures are fake?"

Li Qianshun exposed him mercilessly: "It was Luo'er who proposed marriage to Xiao Meng. After all, I paid for it! How much did you pay for marrying Princess Zhuoya?"

"I..." Xu Zizhen suddenly lost his temper, and said after holding back for a long time, "I haven't married her yet, so of course I don't need to give it to her. Besides, am I so stingy? I will naturally prepare a bride price if I marry Luo'er."

"Oh? How much do you give? I'll just wait and see."

"It's not that you marry me, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Zizhen was so questioned that his head was as big as a bucket, and suddenly he realized with a flash of inspiration that the old man was not asking for a gift for his daughter, but wanted to take this opportunity to get some new things from himself. To put it bluntly, he had the same idea as Zha Lang Yes, thinking of this, he suddenly became enlightened, and he had an idea as soon as he thought about it.

"My father-in-law, let's do it. I'm such a poor ghost right now, but I can exchange ideas. Don't talk too much about it. I can help you improve your national strength by a large margin."

"Oh? How to improve?" Li Qianshun's eyes lit up. He was waiting for this sentence. He knew that Xu Zizhen was definitely not a demigod, but he couldn't figure out how many novelties Xu Zizhen had in his belly. Yes, it is said that the gunpowder that drove away his [-] troops was his masterpiece.

Xu Zizhen rolled his eyes at him: "I'm hungry."

"You... brat!"

Li Qianshungui is a generation of emperors, but he has no choice but to grit his teeth and ask Xu Zizhen to be taken out. Before he leaves, he will take care of him and come back when he is full. Otherwise, Li Luoyan will not want to marry , Don’t come to Xixia in the future.

Xu Zizhen went back out giggling, and got together with Li Luoyan Zhuoya and the others again, had a full meal, and it was almost late at night when they stopped eating.

Zhuo Ya and others didn't ask him where he went, and Xu Zizhen didn't say anything, but his mind was spinning throughout the meal.

Helping Xixia is not a problem. Anyway, the second prince Li Renxiao is in charge now. Li Luoyan's elder brother has experienced a lot. He has a clear mind and a calm mind. .

Xu Zizhen finally came to a conclusion: this brother-in-law can become a great weapon!Cooperating with him will be of great benefit to me, and there is no harm to me. I usually borrow people and land to make money, and when it is difficult, I borrow soldiers and horses to pretend to be aggressive. How good is it?

After the meal, he greeted Zhuo Ya and the others and slipped back to Li Qianshun's residence. By the way, he had someone invite Li Renxiao over.

There were three people in the house, Li Qianshun, Li Renxiao, and Xu Zizhen, and no one else. Even the outside of the house was strictly guarded, and not even a fly could fly in within hundreds of steps around.

The two of the Li family looked at Xu Zizhen quietly, waiting for him to speak. Xu Zizhen held a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip and said: "My father-in-law, the second prince, Daxia is still a slavery country right now." ?”

The two looked at each other, Li Renxiao nodded hesitantly and said, "Uh... yeah."

Xu Zizhen nodded, and said casually: "Oh, then let me give you a suggestion, release all the slaves."

"what?"

The two of you almost didn't jump up, how many slaves in the whole Daxia, let them go as soon as they say?Can't this cause a big mess?

Xu Zizhen pressed his hands: "Don't worry, listen to me."

After both Li Qianshun and Li Renxiao sat back in their chairs, he coughed lightly, organized his thoughts and began to talk, what did he say?It was the set of things that he learned in his political class in middle school. He has almost forgotten what he learned at that time, so he can only talk about the mainstream meaning.

"Not only should the slaves be freed, but also the land should be given to them, to farm, to graze, and to do business."

Li Qianshun couldn't help but want to say a few words, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, his eyes lit up, he closed his mouth and fell silent again, Li Renxiao remained calm, but frowned slightly and listened attentively to Xu Zizhen's words.

"There is an old saying in our place that it is better to work for yourself than to work for others. Oh, to work means to work..."

Before finishing speaking, Li Renxiao frowned suddenly: "I understand!"

Li Qianshun also said almost at the same time: "I also understand!"

Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "How about the exploiting class? My brain turns so fast."

For more than half an hour just now, Xu Zizhen has been instilling a new thought in the father and son, that is, the concept of class. Slaves themselves have no rights, and there is no other way to go except to work for slave owners, but it is different after switching to freedom. Now, the money they earn is no longer the slave owner's, but their own. Under such circumstances, everyone will work countless times harder than before.

But both Li Qianshun and Li Renxiao know that no matter how they switch, they are still in the same class, and their status has not changed. The slaves have been released, but the land they farm, the sheep they herd, and the shop they open are still theirs. In this class, in the end, the big profits will still go into their pockets.

Xu Zizhen spoke eloquently for a long story, and his mouth was dry, but he didn't know that because of his words, he successfully stimulated Li Renxiao's thinking, and finally transformed Xixia from a slavery country into a feudal system in his hands The country and national power have also improved countlessly in the past few decades, and Li Renxiao has also become a generation of Mingjun respected and loved by the Xixia people-Xia Renzong.

Li Renxiao actually had these ideas long ago. He admired the culture of the Central Plains since he was a child. He had long wanted to try out the land ownership system and the imperial examination system in China, but Li Qianshun was still alive and it was not his turn to succeed him. I'm afraid it will offend my father, so it would be best for Xu Zizhen to propose it now, not to mention that he also listened to Li Qianshun with gusto, and he seemed to have been moved.

Xu Zizhen sipped his cup of tea and said, "These are just my personal opinions. Don't worry about what I say is wrong. But to be honest, history has proved that the feudal system is more advanced than the slave system, and the national power will be stronger."

Li Qianshun and Li Renxiao looked at each other, even though they already had thoughts in their hearts, their faces remained calm.

It is not so easy for a country to reform its system. It needs to be done slowly. Besides, Li Qianshun cares about more than that.

Xu Zizhen is a ghost, and he knew what the old man was thinking at a glance. He smiled secretly, and said solemnly on his face: "Since such things as firecrackers have come out, sooner or later the world will use firearms as the main battlefield. Great Xia's smelting technology No one can compare, and then you two will just sit and wait to make money."

The Li family father and son were puzzled, Xu Zizhen laughed and continued: "In the future, there will still be wars to be fought, whether it is the battle of Song and Jin Dynasties or the opening of the Western Liao Dynasty, and the forging method of this thing is only in my hands. If the muskets are all made in Xixia in the future... ..."

The words stopped here, and Xu Zizhen got up and walked away. The Li family and his son should understand what happened next, so there is no need to say more.
