Chapter 189 I will give you time
Queen Changsun had great confidence in Wang Ning'an and couldn't help but be curious about his views on wealth.
Li Xiangcheng is also worried about Wang Ning'an. She is afraid that Wang Ning'an will offend Li Er and the two of them will not be able to be together in the end. She knows that her father will definitely do this.
Tao Qin sneered in his heart, he dared to say that the Tang Dynasty was poor, and he was simply impatient with life.
Wang Ning'an spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, true wealth is very simple, that is, everyone has work to do, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and every family has extra money and food."
Li Er said solemnly: "Are you talking about wealth or paradise? If the Tang Dynasty really becomes what you say, with everyone having food to eat and work to do, I will be willing to lose ten years of my life."
"Your Majesty, if you want to accomplish these two things, you don't have to lose ten years of your life," Wang Ning'an said.
"You have a way." Li Er said.
Wang Ning'an nodded and said: "Develop agriculture and develop commerce. Food is the foundation of agriculture. To develop agriculture, we must first develop food. However, we cannot just cultivate the land, but cultivate food and search for food. This requires us to spend time researching and searching, and also
If you have cattle, try to find a substitute for cattle.
As for business, the common people are already doing it and will do better in the future, and what the court has to do is to make it as convenient as possible for me."
"Convenience, how do you want it to be convenient?" Li Er asked.
He didn't understand the research and development of grains, but he still knew how to find new grains, but he didn't understand Wang Ning'an's business development. Businessmen were always looked down upon, and were a profession worse than farmers.
Now it is even more important for him to make things convenient, ridiculous, and make the world laughable.
Wang Ning'an heard the displeasure in Li Er's words and began to say cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you know why the common people are talking about commercial development?"
"Why?" Li Er asked.
Wang Ning'an took out a bag of golden melon seeds from his arms. This was the bag for Qiuyue, who had no subordinates.
He divided the golden melon seeds into three parts, giving one to Li Xiangcheng, one to his eldest grandson, and one to keep for himself. The eldest grandson had the most, and Li Xiangcheng also had many, but he only had three.
"Your Majesty, you currently represent the imperial court, the empress, the princess and the common people represent the business circle, representing three different business positions.
The empress represents the workshop, the princess represents the shop, and the common people represent the workers. Now the three of us are a small commercial district. The common people work for the workshop, so they have wages.
When you have money, you go to the shop to buy things. When the shop makes money, you go to buy goods from the workshop. The workshop also makes money.
Therefore, workshops, shops and workers must be paid to the imperial court for taxation."
As Wang Ning'an spoke, he took three golden melon seeds from Changsun's hand, then put one golden melon seed in Li Xiangcheng's hand, then took out five more golden melon seeds from Li Xiangcheng's hand and gave them to Changsun, and then
He took out one from his own hand, Changsun took out ten from his hand, and Li Xiangcheng took out five from his hand and gave them to Li Er.
"Your Majesty, now that the treasury has money, what does the court plan to do with the money?" Wang Ning'an asked.
Li Er looked at the golden melon seeds on the table and said: "Every money from the treasury is arranged."
Wang Ning'an then took all the golden melon seeds from Li Er's table, divided them into three parts and gave one to each of Changsun and Li Xiangcheng, and kept one for himself.
"Your Majesty, if the national treasury has taxes, it is nothing more than spending these taxes.
Building bridges and paving roads, buying food for disaster relief, paying military expenses, etc. will cause the money to fall into our hands again.
Then we consume again, pay taxes again, and the cycle starts over again. The court has endless taxes and the people have endless money to spend."
"Then why do you still have so much money on hand?"
"Being prepared for danger in times of peace, no matter who you are, you will keep some money with you. It is impossible for people to spend all the money they have, so they accumulate more and more," Wang Ning'an explained.
Li Er somewhat understood what Wang Ning'an meant and asked, "I understand somewhat."
Tao Qin was shocked. The emperor understood. Then she would be in trouble. No, absolutely not. She knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to his monstrous words to confuse the public. For thousands of years, who has such a disease in the hands of the people?"
How much money? This world is not yet the world of aristocratic families, and the poor people still don’t have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm.”
Li Er nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense, Wang Ning'an, what do you think of this?"
"This is caused by the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business. From ancient times to the present, businessmen have not been favored by others. They are obviously capable of doing business and expanding their industries several times, but they only stick to one-third of an acre. How can they become rich."
Wang Ningan cupped his fists and said.
"Your Majesty, this phenomenon will disappear completely in the Tang Dynasty. As long as the court focuses on the development of farming and does not inhibit the development of commercial land. The common people guarantee that within ten years, the court will be ten times richer than it is now."
"Anyone can say big words." Li Er said solemnly, "What I want to see is the result."
Wang Ning'an said directly: "The common people are willing to use the heads of their entire family as a guarantee. As long as the common people are given ten years of development, the Tang Dynasty will be ten times richer than it is now."
"Ning'an."
Li Xiangcheng nervously wanted to stand up and stop Wang Ning'an, but was stopped by his eldest grandson. She looked at her eldest grandson anxiously and said: "Mother, please don't pull me."
The eldest grandson patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, trust Wang Ning'an, he won't do anything random."
"But……"
"Okay. Trust him."
Under the persuasion of the eldest grandson, Li Xiangcheng sat next to the eldest grandson obediently.
Wang Ning'an smiled slightly at his eldest grandson, telling them that he had me.
Li Er also asked: "Okay, I promise you, I will give you ten years. If you can't do what you said today within ten years, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the grassroots people will definitely do it. However, the grassroots people hope that your majesty can promise the convenience of the grassroots people." Wang Ning'an began to make requests.
"How do you want it to be convenient?" Li Er asked with a slight frown.
Wang Ning'an thought for a while and said: "There are many things that the common people have not thought of for the time being, but currently they have thought of two things. One is to give the common people enough customs clearance documents, so that the common people want to do business with Turks and other countries.
The second is that the grassroots plan to open a bank, and the grassroots will cooperate with the imperial merchants. Everything will be taken care of by the grassroots, and the imperial court will not interfere."
"I can promise you. However, I want to inform all officials about the two things you have done. Therefore, after your wedding, I will inform everyone in the court. I want you to be more detailed this time."
"The common people obey the decree."
"Speaking of which, who allows you to make drastic changes to the Princess's Mansion?" Li Er brushed the matter aside and changed the topic to the Princess's Mansion.
Wang Ning'an clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the common people have full confidence in getting the status quo."
Yuan, married Princess Xiangcheng.
As long as the princess marries the Cao Min, the Cao Min will be the male owner of the Princess Mansion, so the Cao Min will familiarize himself with the Princess Mansion in advance and give some benefits to the servants of the Princess Mansion. This can also be regarded as the Cao Min giving some benefits to the servants of the Princess Mansion."
"Huh, you have a good plan." Li Er said coldly.
Wang Ning'an scratched his forehead, smiled sheepishly, and then said: "Your Majesty, the common people actually have another plan, which is to set up a kindergarten for children over three years old to start school and teach them to read, write, sing, dance and
Play etc.
Discover their interests when they are young and cultivate their interests. Only when they grow up can they become useful talents to the Tang Dynasty.
Just like when we were children, we drew lots. If we caught swords, we would train them to be generals. If we caught brushes, we would train them to be civil servants. But the training in kindergarten is more reliable than drawing lots."
"I accept this reason, but why do you treat Tao Qin like this? What's wrong with her? She took care of Xiangcheng in an orderly manner, and everything she did was in line with the rules." Li Er asked again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me. Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me." Tao Qin had a smile on her face and knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately to express gratitude.
Of course, the panic in her heart was gone. The emperor still thought of her, and that was enough. She wanted to tell Wang Ning'an loudly that the emperor still thought of her and made the decision for him.
She lay on the ground and turned her head slightly to look at Wang Ning'an, hoping to see his panicked look. However, the moment she saw him, she was disappointed. Wang Ning'an still looked confident.
Wang Ning'an clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter cannot be blamed on the common people, the monster is her own fault. I have been very polite to her, but she is not polite to me at all, and even dares to use the queen to keep threatening the princess.
Cao Min can't stand it anymore. Cao Min is a man, how can he see his woman being bullied and not stand up.
If Your Majesty sees that the Queen is being threatened and bullied by her own servants, aren’t you going to stand up?”
Li Er glanced at Tao Qin, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said solemnly: "I will chop her up alive."
Tao Qin trembled and immediately said: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life..."
Wang Ning'an said: "Your Majesty is wise, but the common people are still too soft-hearted. They just let Manager Tao do some things that the servants do. Hey, he is too soft-hearted."
"You." Tao Qin glared at Wang Ning'an angrily. She was so angry that she couldn't express her anger. She was the chief manager of the Princess Mansion and was responsible for all matters in the Princess Mansion. Apart from the princess, she was the oldest. Now she actually has to do things for servants.
, might as well kill her.
The eldest grandson stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, I am responsible for the affairs of the Princess Mansion. It is better for me to be responsible for this matter."
Li Er nodded: "Yes."
The eldest grandson walked up to Tanqin, his face darkened, and said: "Tao Qin, I appointed you to be the general manager of Princess Xiangcheng's Mansion, but you actually bullied me, which is really chilling to me."
"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, please spare my life..." Tao Qin desperately begged for mercy.
"Hmph." Changsun snorted with his nose and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the fact that you have hard work despite no merit, I would have beaten you to death with a stick long ago.
