Zheng Bing asked a little puzzled, "Sister Lin, why are you so sure?" ”

"Simple, the height of the palace wall is about three zhang and five feet, and the gate of the palace is lower, and the lantern wheel made by the palace is at least ten zhang high, and it is built in the palace, even if it is built, it cannot be transported; Building a lantern wheel outside the palace, the goal is so obvious, we have seen it a long time ago, but we didn't see it, the emperor and a group of ministers on the city wall to enjoy the lantern festival, the palace lantern will be set up outside the Suzaku Gate, and the people will have fun, that is to say, there is a high chance that the palace will not build a lantern wheel this year. ”

Everyone thought about it, and it was also the truth, Lan Duo said with some pity: "It's indeed a pity, this lantern festival is so grand, the people have lantern wheels, and the palace lantern festival has no lantern wheels, it feels like something is missing." ”

Guo Ziqi said happily: "The lantern festival in Chang'an is already very lively, there is no need to be poor and extravagant, like the palace lantern festival in the second year of the first year, the cost is more than 10 million yuan, it is too luxurious, Your Majesty will open up the source and reduce the expenditure, that is the blessing of all the people." ”

"Yes, extravagance and waste, it is the people who suffer." Zheng Bing opened his mouth and agreed.

Zheng Peng and Lin Xun'er exchanged glances: These two people, the three views have begun to fit.

"Ziqi, my thoughts are different from yours, the Shangyuan Festival is lively and celebrating, and the lantern festival is wonderful, even spending more money is not a bad thing." Zheng Peng spoke out against it.

Guo Ziqi retorted: "Gongzi Zheng, the imperial court spent so much money, just three days and two nights of carnival, is it necessary?" Wouldn't it be good to put this money in other places, such as building roads and bridges, and dredging rivers? ”

Datang is rich, Chang'an is full of rich people, but Datang also has a lot of people in need of help, there are places that need help, the money from the treasury is used to eat, drink and have fun, and make a big show, in Guo Ziqi's view, it is simply a waste.

There is really a bit of the style of the brother of the eunuch family, dare to say and act, Zheng Peng heard Guo Ziqi refute himself, he was not angry, he just smiled indifferently, and explained: "Ziqi feels wasteful, that is the most superficial thing you only see." ”

"Childe" Li Bai said with some surprise: "Do you think it's a good thing to squander the treasury and celebrate lavishly?" ”

Lan Duo pouted and said: "The son in your eyes is actually a layman, not so great, just watch it if there is excitement, anyway, it doesn't cost his money." ”

Lin Xun'er and Zheng Bing both looked at Zheng Peng with some surprise, they didn't seem to have imagined that Zheng Peng would say such a thing of "not knowing the suffering of the people".

Well, they're questioning themselves.

Zheng Peng coughed dryly, and then said confidently: "Maybe you think I'm wrong, but when I say the reason, I promise that you will also agree with my point of view." ”

"Don't believe it, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth." Lando slapped him in the face on the spot.

"That's, Young Master Ben's mouth, not a dog's mouth, listen to the county lord's meaning, can you spit out ivory from your mouth?"

Zheng Peng is not used to her, as if he is uncomfortable if he doesn't sing against him about anything.

"You... What are you talking about, Zheng Peng, you are looking for death. Landuo was furious on the spot, like an enraged tigress, and wanted to teach Zheng Peng a lesson.

Lin Xun'er hurriedly pulled her back: "County Lord, the young master is poor-mouthed, don't be like him, it's better to listen to the reason first." ”

"Okay, let him say, if he doesn't say it well, hum."

Seeing that the eyes of the audience were focused on himself, Zheng Peng smiled indifferently and said: "Shangyuan Festival is the first full moon night of the year, and it is also a traditional festival, celebrate it, right." ”

"That's right, but the celebration can't be extravagant." Guo Ziqi retorted.

"Don't worry, Ziqi" Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "When I finish explaining the reasons one by one, then you can question again, now just say yes and no." ”

"Got it, Gongzi Zheng." Guo Ziqi apologized politely.

Zheng Peng nodded and continued to explain: "Just now is the first point, the second point is that spending money is not necessarily a mistake, depending on how to spend it, where to spend it, we all know that the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, the treasury is full, and it is not necessarily a good thing for money to lie in the treasury, holding a lantern festival requires the purchase of a large number of materials and the need to allocate a large amount of funds for labor, and these money flow into the hands of merchants and the people, these are real benefits, the people get money, the enthusiasm of labor is improved, they can purchase various items, promote commercial development, and commercial development can provide taxes for the imperial court, It's a virtuous cycle, right? ”

“..... Right. ”

Everyone sounded a little mysterious, but their intuition told them that Zheng Peng seemed to be right.

At least I can't fault it.

"The third point, during the Chinese New Year, the envoys from all over the world entered Chang'an to pay tribute and congratulate the New Year, these missions have not left now, holding a lantern festival, in addition to being the host to make a good show, but also let them see the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys see that the Tang Dynasty is so prosperous and powerful, and they will definitely not dare to rebel. The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, the good people are also good, this is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, you think about it, one less war, how many lantern festivals can be held with the saved military expenses. ”

"Fourth, what do you see is only expenses, what about income? Holding a grand lantern festival attracts not only the people of Chang'an and Datang, but also thousands of foreign tourists. Do you want to invest in the store? Do you want to spend all kinds of money, these are all income, but the money is not directly collected into the treasury, but flows into the people, which can be regarded as hiding the wealth from the people, maybe the income is more than the expenditure. ”

After saying so much, Zheng Peng stopped, took a break, and then concluded: "So, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the emperor to spend more money on the Shangyuan Festival, if it is too simple, why should others go for two months and travel thousands of miles here to enjoy the lanterns, right?" ”

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, and Guo Ziqi said with a look of shame: "Zheng Gongzi is too right, it is Ziqi who is not more important and shallow-sighted, and he is here to compensate Zheng Gongzi." ”

Li Bai also said convincingly: "Listening to your words, it is better to read for ten years, Zheng Gongzi is Zheng Gongzi, thinking is thoughtful, Taibai finally saw the gap between himself and Gongzi, and asked Gongzi for more advice in the future." ”

Lin Xun'er and Zheng Bing looked at Zheng Peng with admiration, and in their hearts, Zheng Peng's image was tall again.

Lan Duo was also a little stunned, this Zheng Peng is really a god, no matter what happens, it makes sense when it comes out of his mouth, he always thinks he is nonsense, but you can't find a thorn, and you can't convince him.

This Zheng Peng, what is in his head, Li Du let him take it.

"Young master, county lord, take a look" Xiao Yin pointed outside and said excitedly: "The gate of the imperial city is open, and the palace lantern parade is about to begin." ”
