Hearing Li Shimin's order, Li Su smiled bitterly, while Li Zhi, Qinghe, and Gao Yang looked embarrassed, thinking that they were doing it very secretly, but they didn't expect to be discovered by their father, but Li Zhen didn't know what the wild boar meat was referring to because it was the first time she came, so she looked at Li Su and them with some curiosity.

"Yes, the retainer obeys!" Ren Li was full of scheming, but under Li Shimin's blazing gaze, he still had nothing to do, and finally could only agree in frustration.

With Li Su's instructions, after a while, the lunch that had been prepared by the kitchen was delivered, among which the dishes made of braised pork, Gu Lao meat, sweet and sour tenderloin and other pork dishes were the same, and even a few more dishes than when they ate them for the first time, of course, in addition to these pork dishes, there were also some new dishes made of materials from Chapter 97 of Agriculture and Industry, which were the favorite dishes of the children and Qinghe.

With these dishes with good color and aroma, Li Shimin couldn't help but sniff, he was really hungry, and these new dishes had a unique fragrance, which made people have a great appetite when they smelled it, so Li Shimin forgot about the wild boar for a while, lifted the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of ruddy braised pork, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and immediately found that the meat was fat but not greasy, and the entrance was soft and melting, which was indeed a rare delicacy.

Li Su didn't expect Li Shimin's actions to be so fast, and before he could stop it, he threw the pork in his mouth, and he also looked happy, and then he lamented in his heart, I don't know if the emperor's father knew that he was eating cheap pork, would he cure himself for the crime of bullying the king?

"Well, that's good!" Li Shimin kept his chopsticks, tasted the dishes in front of him in the blink of an eye, and then nodded and praised. But then he looked at Li Su with a somewhat playful gaze, and said lightly: "Liulang, you can make the pork that only ordinary people eat so delicious, the chef in your house is really not small!" ”

"Cough~cough~" When Li Zhen next to him heard this, the sweet and sour tenderloin that was chewing in his mouth immediately spit out, he was also hungry just now. Seeing Li Shimin's 97th chapter on agriculture and industry on chopsticks, he also took a few chopsticks and tasted them, but found that they were extremely delicious, and he didn't care about other people at the moment, he had already started eating, but when he ate it was fragrant, he didn't expect Li Shimin to say that it was pork, and he was immediately choked.

"Uh~, Father...... Father. How do you know ......" Li Su was stunned when he heard Li Shimin's words, and there was no indication that this dish was made of pork, but Li Shimin immediately knew that it was pork as soon as he tasted it, had he eaten it before?

"Humph! Isn't it pork? What's all the fuss? Li Shimin snorted coldly, and said with a look of nostalgia, "When I led the army to the east and west, and the supply of military food was not available, what did I not eat?" Not to mention this pork, if you are hungry, you can even catch a mouse to make pot soup! ”

"Father~" Listening to Li Shimin's disgust, Qinghe and Gao Yang couldn't help but sneer, with a dissatisfied look on their faces.

"Alas! You grew up in the deep palace since childhood. There is no chance to taste the suffering of the people, and it is necessary to eat pork so secretly, you know, even if it is pork, not everyone can eat it. Li Shimin ignored the coquettishness of his two daughters, but instead taught him a straight face.

Seeing Qinghe and Gao Yang were a little unhappy. Li Su, who was an elder brother, hurriedly said: "What my father said is that the sons and daughters also know that some people in the Tang Dynasty are living in hardship, which is mainly caused by the lack of social wealth, but it is not without a solution. ”

"Oh? What does Rokuro think? Li Shimin was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Li Su to dare to say such big things in front of him.

"Father. In fact, this is very simple, the so-called 'no farming, no stability, no work, no wealth.' "Now because of the implementation of the uniform land system, agriculture is very stable, and there will be no problems for at least a few decades, but this is only to solve the problem of eating." If you want to make the people rich, we must vigorously develop industry, industry and agriculture and commerce are different, although agriculture also creates social wealth, but because of the limitation of land, so the wealth created by agriculture is limited, and industry is different, maybe a person has an idea, can create a new product, and then feed the craftsmen and their families who rely on the production of this new product, and even drive a large number of related industries, it can be said that as long as people's wisdom is endless, the social wealth that industry can create is unlimited. ”

When Li Su said this, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly, at first he just wanted to relieve Qinghe and Gaoyang, but he didn't expect that the more he talked about himself, the more he became more involved, and finally even said what was deep in his heart.

Looking at Li Su's radiant appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little surprised, he only thought that his son was smart and literate, and even had some unique views on some things, but he didn't expect that he still had such a deep understanding of the three industries of agriculture, industry, and commerce.

"You're talking about agriculture and industry, but what about the rest of the business?" Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and then asked, he also knew a lot about the three industries of agriculture, industry, and commerce, but he had never thought about it from the perspective of social wealth.

"Father, business is a very special industry, it does not produce any wealth in itself, but only earns the difference by buying low and selling high, which is also the fundamental reason why the world despises businessmen."

Li Shimin nodded, and what Li Su said was also the consensus of the world on businessmen.

For example, taking the very common merchants in the Tang Dynasty as an example, these merchants sell goods, first of all, they have to investigate the price of a certain commodity in various places, analyze the risks and income of selling this commodity, and then sell a large number of goods at the cost of transporting them to the destination for sale. It will be superimposed on the original cost of this batch of goods, so people see that the difference in the price earned by the merchant is also earned by the merchant through his labor, but the original value of the commodity is artificially increased by a part. Moreover, merchants transported the products of industrial and agricultural production to various places for marketing, so that the wealth of the world could circulate, and only after this wealth was circulated, that wealth could exert its own value. ”

When Li Su talked about the profession of businessman, in addition to what he saw on the Internet or books in later generations, most of them were his own thoughts, and he used a lot of new terms, he was really afraid that Li Shimin would not understand.

"Well, Rokuro, you're right, although the world despises businessmen's unearned gains, but judging from your analysis, businessmen are actually labor." After all, Li Shimin is the king of a country, and his comprehension ability is very strong, so he understands Li Su's words after thinking about it for a while. At this time, Li Zhi and Li Zhen were also absorbed by Li Zhen's lofty talk, and sat on both sides of him very honestly and listened.

"Father, now we have understood the characteristics and differences between the three industries of agriculture, industry and commerce, then it is very simple to solve the poverty of the people, agriculture is not mentioned, unless you suddenly get a large piece of fertile land and enough population, it is difficult to increase in a short time, in this way, we can only solve this problem from industry and commerce, of which industry and agriculture are the basis of commerce, so if you want to quickly increase social wealth, the first step is to vigorously develop industry!" Li Su said categorically.

When Li Shimin heard Li Su's words, his heart suddenly moved, thinking of Li Su's various actions during this time, he suddenly had a feeling of blessing to his soul, and blurted out at the moment: "Liulang, did you have the idea of developing industry from the beginning of the new commodities such as roasted tea, Wuwang drunk, cement, and charcoal that you have made during this time?" ”

"Father is wise, in fact, when the sons began to make fried tea and the five kings drunk, they didn't think too much, but they were tight for a while, so they wanted to make some money, but with the accumulation of capital, I found that I could still do a lot of things, although I couldn't help my father in government affairs, but if I could develop the industry and benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty, it would be regarded as a side for my father to relieve your worries." Li Su said with a dignified face, if you can please the emperor's father, it is not too much.

"Sixth brother, I don't understand this, after the development of industry, aren't those factory owners and those businessmen who benefit the most, how can I benefit the people of Datang?" Li Zhi was young and said with some incomprehension.

"Hehe, ninth brother, think about it, if the industry develops, it is always necessary to hire people, of course, the rich people in the family disdain to work, but those poor families can find a new income from it, and the more developed the industry, the more people will be employed, and of course the more people will be benefited." Li Su explained with a smile.

"Well, that's good!" Li Shimin also nodded and said, "It's like Liulang, the cement factories and carboniferous mines you built, although no statistics have been made, but according to my estimates, at least hundreds of thousands of Datang people have benefited." ”

"So much?" Li Zhen was also very surprised, the total population of Datang is only more than 3 million, but the two industries created by Li Su have affected one-tenth of the population of Datang at once, which is admirable when you think about it.

"Father, in fact, you still underestimate this cement and coal!" As soon as Li Su heard Li Shimin's words, he immediately retorted.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Su with some surprise, is there anything in this that he can't see through?

"Father, you only saw cement and carboniferous products, but did not count the related industries, such as the production of cement, immediately led to the mining and transportation of raw materials such as carboniferous, gypsum, slag, etc., and with the application and promotion of cement, there must be more cement products invented. The same is true of carbon, although it is now mainly used as a fuel for refining cement and iron, but its other functions, our Coal Industry Association has also mastered, and when it is launched, it will definitely benefit more people in Datang! ”

Li Su said very heroically, in his original plan, cement and charcoal these two things, but occupy a very important position, and like another thing that is about to appear, they are the key props for Li Su to lay out the world. (To be continued)!!
