"Hehe, it's better for you, you know me. I really have something to discuss with you today. I believe that you must have known that the fifth surname Qiwang is going to suppress industry and commerce, right?" Li Yan said with a smile. He learned from Li Shimin that the fifth surname Qiwang had already begun the test before the formal suppression. If the power of industry and commerce is not tied together, it would be too late.

"Haha, it turns out that this is true. In fact, the nobles of all the aristocrats in Chang'an City are ready. Just wait for you, the leader, to gather everyone together to discuss!" Li Ke was very familiar with the situation in Chang'an. When he heard Li Yan's words, he immediately laughed loudly. It happened that Li Yong had said almost at this time. When he heard Li Ke's laughter, most people turned their heads to look at Li Yan and Li Ke.

Seeing that most people's attention turned to this side, Li Yan simply stood up and said, "Brothers are not outsiders. I believe they all know that the traditional big family led by the Five Surnames and Qiwang wants to suppress industry and commerce. I have already thought of several countermeasures for this. Taking this opportunity, I want to discuss it with you!"

"Liulang, just wait for you to say this. We have finally started so many profitable industries. We must not easily destroy them!" Hearing Li Yan's words, Cheng Huailiang was the first to jump up and shout. Although the Cheng family was a noble family in the past, since they opened a coal mine to build a factory with Li Yan, 80% of the family's income has been in industry and commerce. It can be said that it has been transformed into a new type of capital family. Therefore, they are extremely disgusted with the practice of the five surnames and Qi Wangs cutting off their wealth.

Seeing Cheng Huailiang's statement, others such as Qin Huaiyu, Li Jingye and others responded one after another. The situation of these people is similar to Cheng Huailiang. Although there are elders in the family, the influence of the family is simply incomparable to those big families. However, when they followed Li Yan to open the path of industry and commerce, they suddenly realized that the human and financial resources brought by starting an industry and commerce can also quickly expand the influence of the big family. Moreover, this influence is more direct and reliable than the influence obtained by traditional aristocratic families through land and fame. It is precisely because of this that these emerging families at the top of industry and commerce will never allow anyone to make actions that are unfavorable to the development of industry and commerce.

Seeing the crowds surging below, Li Yan was also a little excited. In fact, he had thought about this situation in advance, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he felt happy, but he had a sense of pride, because the performance of these people below clearly showed that the interests of industry and commerce and these upstarts of the Tang Dynasty were completely bound together. As long as these people did not fall, no one would think of suppressing industry and commerce!

Cheng Huailiang and others received instructions from the family behind them. After being excited, they sat around Li Yan and discussed specific responses. The families behind these people were also full of talents. Although they did not get the exact news that the five surnames and Qi Wang would attack from? However, many people suggested that the other party was likely to start from the agricultural aspect. After all, the development of industry and commerce occupied a large amount of agricultural population, which reduced grain output. This was an indisputable fact. This also just confirmed the news that Li Yan got from Wang Kuang and Cui Yu.

After knowing that the five surnames and seven hopes would definitely use agriculture as a breakthrough point, Cheng Huailiang and others said one by one, and explained the way they thought of their family. As the saying goes, the heroes' views are similar, and the methods behind Cheng Huailiang and the others actually summed up, almost the same as the three strategies that Wang An offered. Taking this opportunity, Li Yan simply invited Wang An over and first introduced to everyone, Wang Fu, who has not yet officially taken office.

At first, when he heard the old man solemnly introduced by Li Yan, he was actually the King of the King of Qi's Mansion. This made many people feel a little unbelievable, because they really didn't expect that someone would dare to teach Li Yan. However, when Li Yan told the three strategies that Wang Anxian had been introduced, many people immediately looked at this old man with disabilities with his feet.

However, although Wang An's three strategies were good, some people had different opinions. Li Ke suddenly stood up and said, "Liu Lang, Mr. Wang's three strategies were good, but they were not without shortcomings. The first strategy was fine. It would be fine to expand the source of the arrest of slaves, and then send more people or increase the price of some slaves to acquire. However, the second promotion of crude seeds and the third land replacement is not so easy to achieve."

After hearing this, Wang An nodded in agreement and said, "What Your Highness of Wu said is good. Whether it is promoting crude seeds or land replacement, it is difficult for people to accept it in a short time. Therefore, before this, we must first do a good job of publicity so that everyone knows the benefits of these two methods. As for the publicity methods, in addition to the secret instigation of each company, we can also ask the court to issue an order to post the benefits of these two methods nationwide. Two-pronged approaches will definitely have good results."

The others nodded after hearing this. They understood that the benefits of coarse seeds and land replacement were useless. The key was to let those who needed to use these two methods understand. If they wanted to quickly pass the message, they could think of no other way except posting the list and starting rumors.

"Hehe, there is no need to be so troublesome. I happened to think of something interesting, which can not only be better promoted, but also has other deeper uses!" Li Yan said with a sinister smile after hearing this.

Seeing Li Yan showing a familiar and unfamiliar expression, Cheng Huailiang and the others were all shocked. Although Li Yan didn't show such a sinister smile, as long as he smiled like this every time, it meant that Li Yan had to start calculating people, and it was extremely vicious and vicious. For example, the last time the Wang family in Taiyuan snatched the coal mine with them, so they were deeply impressed by Li Yan's expression.

Just as Cheng Huailiang, Li Jingye and others were clamoring to let Li Yan say what he thought of, Gao Chong suddenly trotted in from outside the hall gate and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, Mr. Wang is back from the south!"

Mr. Wang? Li Yan was stunned after hearing this, turned his head and looked at Wang An, thinking to himself that Mr. Wang is not here?

However, he immediately realized that Mr. Wang who Gao Chong was talking about was Wang Zihao. After he returned to Chang'an, he did not see Wang Zihao. He heard from the person in charge left by the other party that Wang Zihao seemed to have something urgent to do and took his people to the south. He had been away for a long time and was about to come back. Unexpectedly, he happened to be today.

"Well, let Xijun go and receive her father first, and see him when I finish my work!" Li Yan ordered. Although Wang Zihao's identity is special, he is still his subordinate after all, so it is really not appropriate to welcome him at this time. At the same time, he was also a little surprised. Gao Chong knew that he was having a banquet here, so why would he choose to disturb him at this time?

"Your Highness, Mr. Wang knew that all the young masters were there, so he was anxious to ask for a meeting. He also said that there was a great event to report!" Gao Chong continued.

The happy event? And it was a big happy event? This made Li Yan a little curious, so he ordered Gao Chong to let Wang Zihao come in. Anyway, during the period when he was away, he had been dealing with people like Cheng Huailiang. Everyone was acquaintances, which saved a lot of trouble. Others also heard the conversation between Li Yan and Gao Chong, and were curious about what happy event could Wang Zihao, a rare person, bring?

After a while, Wang Zihao and his few people walked into the hall quickly. The people behind him were carrying a sack, and they were so bulging that they didn't know what they were carrying.

"Your Highness, please see your highness, please see all the young masters!" Wang Zihao asked someone to put down the sack, and then turned around and bowed to Li Yan and others.

"Zihao doesn't have to be too polite. This is what you said?" Li Yan pointed to the sack on the ground and asked strangely.

"Your Highness, this is exactly this thing!" Wang Zihao replied excitedly when he heard Li Yan's question, and at the same time he reached out and held the sack on the ground and stood up, then opened the hemp rope that tied the bag, revealing a pile of yellow things inside.

Everyone stretched their necks to watch curiously, but when they saw the things inside, many people showed disappointment because the things in the bag were very ordinary, just a bag of rice that had not been shedded. However, everyone did not notice that when Li Yan saw the bag of rice, he showed a very strange expression.

"Zihao, what the hell are you doing? I've been leaving Chang'an for so long, so I won't go to the south to bring a bag of rice, right?" Li Ke asked with a frown. Because Li Yan is not in Chang'an, if Wang Zihao has anything, he will usually say hello to Li Ke, so he knows the other party's going to the south.

"Report to His Highness the King of Wu, this is not an ordinary rice, to be precise, it should be a rice seed!" Wang Zihao had long expected everyone's reaction, so he was not surprised at all and still answered respectfully.

"Zihao, is your rice seed extremely high yield and extremely drought-resistant?" Li Yan still had a strange expression on his face, and even asked with a hint of amusement.

"Huh? Your Highness is right. This is a kind of rice that my subordinates heard from the merchants in the south. It not only has high yields, but also has drought tolerance. The most rare thing is that after planting this rice, it can mature in less than two months. It is really a rare good rice seed!" Wang Zihao was only excited and did not ponder the profound meaning of Li Yan's words at all.

When Wang Kuang and Cui Yu went to find Li Yan, they actually went to Chang'an to find Wang Zihao first, and then went to Dengzhou to visit Li Yan after being introduced by Wang Zihao. So Wang Zihao knew some of the internal information about the five surnames and Qiwangs trying to suppress industry and commerce, and also knew that the key was to solve the problem of agricultural employment. He also thought of a solution, which was to introduce high-yield good varieties. After he offered a heavy reward, he finally found this rice seed.

Others were all surprised to hear that this kind of rice was so magical. They came forward one by one and grabbed a handful of rice seeds and looked carefully, as if they wanted to see what the difference was. However, some careful people such as Wang Zihao and Li Ke found that the expression on Li Yan's face became more and more strange.!~!
