A moment later, at the camp on the bank of the Wei River, a gust of autumn wind swayed, blowing the fire crackling.

Li Shimin sat cross-legged next to the fire, still barefoot.

The emperor also stretched out his hand and touched it twice from time to time, and said with a smug expression: "No wonder the Baiqi Division reported that you picked your feet at the head of Luoyang City, this foot is indeed very comfortable, I have received the education of the scholar clan since I was a child, and I became an emperor after I became an adult, I have been strict and solemn all my life, and I have never tried to pick my feet and have such fun, ahahaha, Guanyin doesn't need to stare at me, you stare at me today, refreshing......"

Han Yue sat next to Li Shimin, father and son were almost shoulder to shoulder, Han Yue also sat barefoot and cross-legged, but he didn't pick his feet, but used his toes to pick up the loose dirt from time to time.

The thumb arched into the soil, not to mention the feeling of grinding and tickling.

A piece of dirt was suddenly thrown over from behind, but it was the eldest grandson Empress who was still angry, and the queen said in a hateful tone: "The two of you don't have a good thing, it's all big stinky feet that sweat in winter and summer, look at you one emperor and one King Zhao, can you still have a positive shape in front of the courtiers?" ”

The queen said and bent down to pick up a dirt skull, and smashed it at the grandfather and son with hatred, Li Shimin didn't move, Han Yue hehe, Li Chengqian and Li Tai next to him laughed evilly, and suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked the flying dirt away.

The eldest grandson almost fainted when he saw it, it turned out that these two boys had also taken off their shoes and were following Li Shimin and Han Yue, the queen only felt that her face was red and her ears were red, and she vaguely heard a group of noble ladies eating and laughing.

She suddenly grabbed Tian Doudou, who was busy by the pot, and said loudly to the three women who were helping on the side: "Doudou, Begonia, Yan Wan, you three listen to me, no one is allowed to climb into bed tonight, don't they want to learn from the people to show their big stinky feet, let them find a stinky woman to sleep." ”

The three women who were ordered by her were Han Yue's wife, Li Chengqian's wife, and the last Yan Wan was Li Tai's wife.

The queen gave a strict order to her three daughters-in-law, and she gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly: "This palace will also do it, don't let Your Majesty go to bed, let them be shameless, let them be shameless......"

The three daughters-in-law glanced at each other, Doudou smiled gently, Begonia ate and laughed, only Yan Wan was graceful and luxurious, and carefully reminded the queen: "The queen mother's trick is useless, the four of them don't care at all, we don't let them go to bed, they just happened to be picked up by the little ones, the little girl in my house doesn't know how smart, she has been staring at this kind of thing for a long time." ”

The queen was suddenly a little deflated, and said hatefully: "Wan'er, you say this, this palace finds out that it is the same in my palace, hateful, really hateful, I can't cure these four masters." ”

Doudou grinned, picked up a herring fish and scraped the scales to clean, and said softly: "Don't be angry, let them play, they have sex and fun, and the daughter-in-law doesn't want to embarrass him in this matter." ”

The eldest grandson snorted, spoiled Doudou's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "Among the several daughters-in-law, you are used to Yue'er's fault, and now you have even brought your father-in-law and two younger brothers to ruin, Doudou, you girl is really ......"

Doudou stuck out his tongue and began to cook neatly.

She was born in a poor peasant family, and her skills are very good, but Hou Haitang and Yan Wan next to her can only start a little, which is obviously worse than Doudou.

The female dependents are busy cooking, and the men are gathered around the fire, and there are many ministers of the court who came today, including the nobles of the country, the generals and ministers, and hundreds of people in the court who are above the fourth grade, chatting around several big fires.

Although it seems to be idle talk, in fact, everyone is careful, and it is clear that the attention of these ministers is all focused on the side of the royal fire.

Everyone is waiting to hear Han Yue's explanation!

Li Shimin touched his feet with one hand, looked at the fire with half-squinted eyes, suddenly exhaled a breath, and said lightly: "Let's start, it's not too early, finish talking about business early, and wait for the meeting to ......start dinner."

It's headless and brainless, but everyone knows who it's aimed at. Li Chengqian and Li Tai subconsciously moved their buttocks, away from the place where the emperor and Han Yue were sitting cross-legged.

Han Yue smiled, his eyes swept over a few fires, he suddenly coughed lightly and cleared his throat, and said loudly: "The poverty in the world, the poor are in the rich......"

"Huh?" Countless voices of surprise suddenly sounded around, and many ministers frowned instantly.

Han Yue only used four words in one sentence, which directly aroused everyone's infinite curiosity.

The poverty of the world should be in the poor people, how can it be poor in the rich families? I have never heard this in the past, could it be that His Royal Highness King Zhao is pretending to be a madman?

Han Yue smiled, he naturally knew that the ministers would question when he said this, and said directly: "From ancient times to the present, there are countless sages, there are those who pity the heavens and men, those who study hard, those who open up the territory, and those who educate the people, all the sages are busy all their lives, and what they do is for one thing, that is, they want to make the people rich and make the world no longer poor......

After a pause at this point, he continued: "The sages have worked hard all their lives, although they have done countless great things, but it is still difficult to change the world, the people are still poor, and poverty still occurs, so there is an ancient precept handed down, saying that the world is poor, and the poor are in the people. ”

These words are the orthodox remarks in the world, the ministers all nodded secretly, Fang Xuanling suddenly arched his hand, and asked with a smile: "However, Your Highness, you just said that the world is poor, and the poor are rich, this statement is completely opposite to the sages, and the old minister asks His Highness to solve his doubts......"

Han Yue smiled and nodded, "I don't have to ask, I have to say it too." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Li Shimin, pretending to be a slippery head and said: "Father, the son is about to start, if you don't listen to it, you will be treated as a son who has not said it." ”

Li Shimin scolded with a smile and said: "Let's talk about yours, my father is not mediocre, and I am the one who has received the most advice from emperors throughout the ages." Besides, you and my father and son should not be restrained, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. ”

Han Yue snorted, coughed lightly twice and began to organize the language.

His eyes obviously became deep, picked up a piece of wood and stirred the fire, and said in a deep voice: "The poverty of the world, the poor is rich, this is the realization of this king's trip to Luoyang, I went deep into the street people, talked with the pawn and traders, and suddenly had an epiphany, the reason why the people are poor is not because we have not made enough efforts, but because our efforts have been embezzled by the rich. ”

"Huh?" Sounds of surprise rang out all around again, but this time the surprise was accompanied by some thought. Those who can become the bigwigs of the court are elites, and many people will think deeply as long as they make a little adjustment.

Han Yue suddenly got up slowly, looked into the distance, and said: "This is Tianjiazhuang, I have started from here, since the ninth year of Wude, this king first made mosquito coils to make water wheels, made Huoxiang Zhengqi water, studied sweet potato seeds, brewed high-grade wine, and then led 100,000 people out of the customs, established a mutual market outside the customs to make a fortune, and went to the land of Baishan and Black Water, starting from scratch to cast a giant city, the world's top ten industries, each can enrich the people, but a full twelve years have passed, why are the people of the Tang Dynasty still poor, where is the wealth I created?" ”

"Where is the wealth?" These words caused many people to think deeply, and they couldn't help but start discussing them.

Han Yue didn't care about everyone, and directly came to the conclusion: "The answer is very simple, it was intercepted by the rich people. ”

He raised his feet and took two steps, and said in a non-hurried tone: "For example, the ten major industries are obviously for the sake of enriching the people, but the poor people can't take over directly, because they don't have the strength to do large-scale industries." This king takes an example as an example, let's talk about the iron industry of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Liu Hongji stood up in the crowd and hurriedly explained: "In this industry, when my old Liu participated in the shares, I have always remembered His Royal Highness's teachings since I started working, whether it is a loss or a gain, I will never increase the price to the people, and the same is true of the other eleven shareholding families in the iron industry, and none of us dare to disobey His Highness's orders......"

"You didn't add it, but someone did!"

Han Yue waved his hand slightly and motioned for Liu Hongji to sit down, and said with a smile: "Duke Kui Guo, sit down, this king is not accusing you of waiting." ”

Liu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little relieved in his heart.

Since Liu Hongji came out to explain, Han Yue just took him as an example, and continued: "All the ministers have also heard it, Kui Guogong said that they have not increased the price of their participation in the iron industry, and the mines and smelters of this king in the northeast are even cheaper, this is a deliberate act for the benefit of the people, why do you still not see the people rich after so many years?" ”

"We don't know, Your Highness, please speak." The ministers arched their hands, and everyone wanted to know the answer.

Han Yue suddenly sighed, and said helplessly: "Rich family, the reason is the rich family in Datang......"

He looked up at the sky with his hands in his hands, and said in a deep voice: "I do industry, originally to save the people, but where do the people have the strength to take over this, for example, the Northeast Iron Smelting Plant will cost hundreds of thousands of yuan for a shipment, and it will be distributed to the agents of the twelve provinces, and each family will take out more than 100,000 funds." And then they distribute and sell, and that's where the problem lies. ”

Someone among the ministers understood, only to see Fang Xuanling slowly stand up, frown and ponder: "Once the goods are sold, they will inevitably be rubbed layer by layer, because the people do not have the strength to accept more than 100,000 pieces of iron, only the rich have the money to buy large sums of money, and after they buy them, they will distribute them to smaller rich households again, so that after the cheap things of His Highness reach the hands of the people, they have lost the effectiveness of helping the people to get rich." ”

Han Yue nodded, and said with emotion: "That's why this king said, the world is poor, the poor are rich, and the profits of my iron mining industry that were intercepted by the rich have not achieved the purpose of opening as it should be." The same is true for other industries, no matter how much I try to benefit the people, the people will never be able to get the benefits. ”

The ministers present were thoughtful, and the field became silent for a while, only the autumn wind blew, and the fire crackled.

Li Shimin suddenly sighed and asked Han Yue: "This is the understanding of your Luoyang party?" ”

Han Yue nodded and said solemnly, "Yes!" ”
