"Continue!" His Majesty Li Er glared at Li Chengqian who was standing beside him. The latter rubbed his butt while lowering his head to admit his mistake.

"Yes, my son is a little ruthless."

Li Chengqian's words made the ministers below roll their eyes. Is it as simple as your behavior and words just now? You are simply lawless!

"Hmph!" His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Li Chengqian secretly took a look. Although His Majesty Li Er's face was serious, there was not much anger in his eyes, so he felt relieved.

Continue, "Just just said that this Tang Dynasty was not the Tang Dynasty with his father alone, nor the Tang Dynasty with the royal family, but belonged to everyone, including all uncles and uncles, as well as the Tang Dynasty with millions of ordinary people! Because the establishment of the Tang Dynasty was made by all uncles and uncles and fathers, and it was supported by the taxes that millions of people even if they were hungry! Yang Guang and Qin Shihuang confused the country and his family, subjectively believed that they were the emperor and the master of the world, and the people were his slaves, so they would do whatever they wanted. If I were Qin Shihuang and Yang Guang, even if I built a Great Wall and dug a canal, it would not only not destroy the country, but would make the country more prosperous!"

"If you don't speak astonishingly, you will never stop until you die." This guy Li Chengqian said that he dared to make a fool of himself and something he saw in his mind. He would be fooled by these ancient people who had never heard similar remarks. If it were anyone with a little culture in his later generations... forget it, give him some face!

"What would happen if Yang Guang didn't directly recruit labor service when he built the canal, but instead hired the people to work? Would he be unhappy if the people had money to work?"

"Hmph, although the former Sui Dynasty was strong, it did not have that much money to hire the people to build a canal!" His Majesty Li Er suddenly interrupted.

"Father, you still don't understand. Let me ask you a question. Where will the money go in the end when the court pays the people?"

"Of course, it's in the hands of the people, where else can I go?"

"Wrong, wrong! This money is not left in the hands of the people, but will eventually return to the court!" Li Chengqian shook his finger and said, "The court sends the wages to the people, and the people will definitely use money to consume... It is to buy rice, salt, clothes, etc. The money will flow to the merchants, and what will the merchants do with this money? They must buy raw materials to continue to produce, so where can they buy raw materials? Grain, hemp, silk, etc., all of them need to be bought from ordinary farmers, and the money will be returned to the farmers again! So, why do I say that the money will eventually return to the court? Whether it is a farmer or a merchant, they need to be taxed, and they have to be taxed every year. Isn't the money back to the court?"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian stopped and looked at His Majesty Li Er and his ministers who had gone from horror to surprise to thoughtfulness, and couldn't help but curl his lips proudly.

"Does your father understand? You have to keep holding money in your hands, and there will always be so much, but if you spend it, it will increase and more. Of course, you have to spend it too. For example, the 200,000 ounces you used to open a restaurant for me..."

"Cough cough!" Li Chengqian said this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly coughed twice, and kept winking at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian asked inexplicably: "What's wrong with Father? Have you forgotten? It's the 200,000 yuan I gave me from the inner mansion after I asked you to withdraw the funds before. Do you know how much it has become now?"

"How many?"

"Uncle Fang, you will definitely not believe it when you say it. Now there are at least one million coins!"

"hiss……"

Except for His Majesty Li Er, all the ministers present sucked air conditioning again, and then they saw everyone looking at His Majesty Li Er with resentment on their faces, while His Majesty Li Er looked down at the memorial on the "Dragon Case"...

Li Chengqian still looked completely unsure of what was going on and continued, "Would you like to hear this number and say that as the prince, I am engaged in business and the people to compete for profit? Do you know that in just a few months, my industries have paid no less than 300,000 yuan in taxes? Do you know that my industries have driven nearly tens of thousands of people in Chang'an to get rid of poverty and become rich? Not to mention other things, there are more than ten villages in Wannian County who are responsible for providing raw materials such as food and wood to my industries. Now every household in these ten villages has built new houses, and some have even bought houses in Chang'an City!"

"Is what the prince said true?" Fang Xuanling suddenly asked very seriously.

"Uncle Fang doesn't believe it, you can check it out. If I have any false statements, I will give you the seat of the prince!"

"Damn it!"

"I'm afraid!"

Well, Li Chengqian was wrong again, and all these words were said. His Majesty Li Er immediately shouted angrily, and Fang Xuanling hurriedly bowed to His Majesty Li Er.

"Get out, get out of here! A bastard, without any restraint, go back and copy the Book of Rites ten times!"

...

"Mom, do you think the old man has broken the bridge across the river? Oh, it was him who gave me the idea. If I had the idea, he turned against others. How could this happen? Don't expect me to give him any more ideas in the future, whom I like to go to? I also punished me to copy "The Book of Rites"? If you have the ability to change your tricks, you will ask me to copy "Thousand Characters"? He is amazing, I am still the prince, what's so great..."

In Lizheng Hall, Li Chengqian, who was driven out of Liangyi Hall by His Majesty Li Er, complained to Empress Changsun with dissatisfaction. Empress Changsun smiled and didn't speak, but she would shake her head from time to time.

Nearly two quarters of an hour later, Li Chengqian's mouth was dry and finally stopped talking.

"Are you finished?"

"Not finished! There are so many more people. I'm tired today, so I'll talk about it later!"

"You, give your father a good idea. Why do you say anything extra? You say the money your father gave you to open a restaurant in front of those ministers. How do you ask those ministers to think of your father? Why are you not smart enough in your daily life at this time?"

"Ah? This, this...I thought those people were the old man's confidants..."

"So what about the confidant? Things involving interests..." Before Queen Changsun finished speaking, a eunuch hurried in.

Li Chengqian recognized him at a glance as the eunuch who His Majesty Li Er often stayed by his side. He asked before whether he was standing or squatting in the toilet...

"I pay homage to the Queen!"

"Well, no gift, what's the matter?"

"The saint's decree: Li Chengqian, you bastard, go to your uncle's mansion tomorrow to get money, as these uncles invest in your industries! In addition, all the income of these industries, the East Palace and your personal share will be handed over to the queen in the future. If there is a slight deduction, be careful of your bad legs!"

Li Chengqian: “…”

Empress Changsun: "Geeh..."

The eunuch left, Li Chengqian cried...

"Woooo... Mom, this life is impossible. I object, I firmly object! Why?"

"Silly boy, with the mother here, what are you afraid of?"

"Hmm? Yes, mom, you are on my side! Mom, I love you the most!"

...

Li Chengqian, who was enlightened by my mother's words, hummed a little tune and went back to the East Palace. As for what His Majesty Li Er asked him to copy the "Book of Rites" he did not care about at all.

His Majesty Li Er had not been punished before. When did he actually copy it? If he didn't copy it, he would be taught a few lessons by His Majesty Li Er. If he copied it, he would let His Majesty Li Er see his "calligraphy"... he would still stop copying it. It would be more comfortable to be scolded than to be beaten?
