Li Shimin was very surprised to hear that Li Yuanjing had another wicked idea to raise food.
Could it be that all the civil and military officials in the court were inferior to the King of Zhao?
Li Shi Min said casually, but his ears perked up, afraid that he would miss a word.
"Tell me your idea."
Li Yuanjing could hear the contempt in the other party's voice and muttered,""What kind of idea is this? This is a wonderful plan.”
"It's rare to see someone as poor as my royal brother in every dynasty. It's too embarrassing to borrow food from an eight-year-old child like me when there's a famine.”
Was Li Shi Min poor?
Poor!
This was especially true between the first and second years of Zhenguan.
In other dynasties, once there was a famine, the emperor would wave his hand and send hundreds of grain carts to the disaster area. Everything would be resolved.
Li Shi Min wanted to borrow food instead.
You despise me for being poor?
Li Shi Min coldly harrumphed, clearly unhappy. He had clearly recorded King Zhao's name in his little notebook. This little notebook had a long list of enemies who had offended Li Shi Min, such as Li Yuan, Pei Ji, Wei Zheng, Xue Wan Che.
"However, even though Imperial Brother is poor, he has made the people rich.”
"Although Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, expanded his territory, these military expenses were all plundered from the commoners, overdrawing the lifespan of the Han Dynasty. In general, his brother's frugality and light taxes were admirable. Although the court was short of money, it would definitely be well prepared.”
Although Li Yuanjing was an eight-year-old child with an iron head who dared to impeach Li Er in court and scold him in private, he still had eyes.
Comparing Li Er and Liu Che, and then praising the former, Li Shimin instantly felt his heart skip a beat. He said angrily,
"Speak! How do we raise food?"
Li Yuanjing held the cup of tea and handed it to the other party. He smiled and said,"Isn't that simple?"
"Let the aristocratic families donate food and money!"
Swoosh!
The teacup in Li Shiming's hand was not even warmed up when he threw it on the table, spilling water. He said angrily,"Making fun of me? King Zhao."
What are you thinking about? Aristocratic families will donate food, and sows will climb trees.
Li Shi Min had been in the royal court for so many years, so he was very familiar with the style of the aristocratic families, because the Li family itself was a top-notch aristocratic family.
Aristocratic families searched and searched. If there were benefits, they would come. If there were no benefits, they would be the first to escape.
"The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility." This time, the drought in the east of the river, if the court did not pay, the rich families would have to pay.”
"Since ancient times, the poor have been suffering from hunger and cold, while the rich have been singing and dancing.”
That's right, he was going to rob the rich to help the poor and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor!
Before he transmigrated, he was a mortgage slave, a high-class social animal, and a member of the working class. He was envious of the rich second-generation heir who lived in a Tomson and drove a sports car.
It wasn't a matter of effort, it was a matter of reincarnation techniques.
Now that he had become the king of the Tang Empire, he had to speak up for the millions of poor people.
Seeing the hope in his eyes, Li Shiming laughed.
My younger brother is too cute, but unfortunately, he has never been beaten up by society.
The world of the Great Tang was not the world of the world's people, but the world of the world's influential families.
"If the imperial court forces the aristocratic families to pay for food, they will definitely lose the hearts of the people. Yuanjing, you are still young and don't know how to learn from me.”
Li Shi Min finally found the feeling of an elder brother, and he began to teach him.
He thought about how King Zhao would have to follow him obediently in the future.
Li Yuanjing's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was still not as smart as the people of the 21st century. I've also read countless television dramas and novels. I can come up with any scheme at will.
"Second brother, what do aristocratic families care about the most?”
This title made Li Shiming feel warm in his heart." Money, power!”
"Wrong!"
What? Li Shi Min was surprised.
According to Maslow's theory, once a person's basic needs were met, what they needed the most was a sense of existence. In ancient times, it was called face.
"Face."
Li Yuanjing patted his own face. It felt tender and soft. No wonder so many royal nieces liked to touch him. There was nothing he could do about the princess.
Li Shi Min nodded.
Buddhas fought for the time it took to burn an incense stick, while humans fought for their breath.
Face was something that people of higher status needed more.
Why did everyone dissuade him from taking Consort Qi as his concubine? Wasn't it because they were afraid that the royal family would lose face?
"This time, in the name of our family, we can donate food for disaster relief. Then, we will rank the amount of food donated.”
"The first place will be a first-rank aristocratic family, the second and third place will be a second-rank aristocratic family, and the fourth to tenth place will be a third-rank aristocratic family."
"Then, I will carve these rankings onto a huge stone tablet. This stone tablet will be passed down to future generations and will be named the Merit Obelisk.”
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you looking at me like that, Second Brother? Didn't you say it was a wonderful plan?”
The evaluation and Merit Obelisk were extremely tempting.
To put it bluntly, this was the list of the rich.
In the past, Shi Chong competed with others in terms of wealth, how many maids his family had, how big the coral stones were, and who was the richest.
The rule that Li Yuanjing had Li Shimin set was that whoever donated more food would be the most powerful.
"What if the aristocratic families join hands and don't donate food?" Li Shi Min said with a smile. Or perhaps they had deliberately agreed to donate food at a low price. What should they do then?”
"If you don't want to donate, then don't donate. There will always be people who want to donate. For example, hasn't Lord Zhangsun always wanted to revive the Zhangsun family? There's also Hooligan Cheng. Now that the new aristocrats have risen, they want to surpass the ancient five surnames and seven gazes.”
Li Shi Min understood.
If the Five Families and Seven Wangs didn't donate, then Zhangsun Wuji and the other military dignitaries would donate. At that time, the Five Families and Seven Wangs would be suppressed, and the structure of the aristocratic families and their influence among the people would change.
For example, if the Cui family of Boling didn't donate money this time, who would believe that he was a first-class family?
You don't even have the money to donate food and disaster relief. What prestige do you have to be a first-class aristocratic family?
"As for the matter of donating food at a low price, it's even more impossible. We can ask our own people to raise the price first. When the time comes, we can set up a hall and set up an auction hall to invite all the aristocratic families.”
Li Yuanjing was well versed in this.
"The entire aristocratic family has been schemed against by you.”
"How could the Li family have such a cunning man?”
Li Shi Min cursed in his heart,'Shameless!' He even secretly raised the price. He was even more sinister than me.
"This isn't to share Second Brother's worries, racking my brains.”Li Yuanjing pretended to be miserable.
Li Shimin said with a dark face,"You don't want to donate food, right? As for your dirty trick, I will think about it again."”
F * ck!
Li Yuanjing watched Li Shiming leave. He felt that Li Shiming would run away after this plan, and he wouldn't admit it.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Shi Min quickly left the Martial Virtue Hall and immediately put on a smile. He was in a good mood.
If I say I will adopt your plan, then I will adopt your plan. This is too embarrassing.
That's right, he was just that tsundere.
Coincidentally, they met Fang Xuanling and the others who were walking over.
Their faces were filled with worry. Zhangsun Wuji was the first to speak,"Your Majesty, is the King of Zhao willing to donate food?”
"King Zhao did not donate." Li Shi Min felt regretful.
Fang Xuanling and the others were having a headache. If the King of Zhao, the King of Chang 'an, did not donate, where would the imperial court get the food?
Seeing that everyone's heads were about to explode, Li Shi Min's words drifted into the ears of the ministers.
"Zhen has already thought of a wonderful plan.”
The ministers were shocked, and they bowed and shouted,"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shi Min smiled. It was a good decision to come to the Martial Virtue Hall today.
Immediately, he pulled the ministers to the royal study, ready to make a move.
