"Teacher, Liulang, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Anyway, Cui Yu, who was confused by the ears, seized the opportunity and immediately asked.

"Brother Cui, Wang Fu and I are discussing the possibility of reconciliation with the five surnames Qi Wang!" Li Yan smiled and said something that made Cui Yu stunned.

"Reconciliation? Is this... possible?" Cui Yu's mind was really hard to turn around for a moment. Some time ago, the industrial and commercial masters represented by Li Yan and the big families represented by the five surnames and Qi Wang were fighting hard.

Now it is difficult for industrial and commercial owners to gain some advantage, but now Li Yan has proposed a reconciliation, which is really unacceptable.

"Yu'er, Liu Lang's word for reconciliation is not appropriate. To be precise, it should be to assimilate the great families of the Five Clans and Qi Wang!" Wang An corrected next to him.

"Assimilation!" Cui Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this. It would be easier for him to understand it if it was changed to this word, and he also vaguely understood why Liulang said that he was a good example?

"It's still Wang Fu's words are accurate, and it's indeed assimilation!" Li Yan also laughed after hearing this, "Although the five surnames and seven hopes are based on the land, they have actually been participating in industrial and commercial activities in the Central Plains for hundreds of years.

However, under the influence of Confucianism, they do not pay attention to it. However, in addition to the development of industry and commerce, I believe that those great clans have seen the power of industry and commerce. If they are willing to let go of something and participate in industrial and commercial activities,

I believe that it will definitely become an important force in the business community, but if so, they will lose something extremely important!"

"Liulang, you said it was a control over the court!" Cui Yu was not stupid either. He immediately thought of what the big family was about to lose from Li Yan's words.

"Not bad! The development of industry and commerce will inevitably drive social changes. The inherent social system of scholars, migrant workers and commerce will definitely be broken. In this way, the dominance of the scholar class will definitely be strongly challenged by the emerging business class.

I can even assert that scholars will definitely lose their rule that they have been controlled for thousands of years!" Li Yan said firmly. All what he said has been verified by history, so naturally there will be no mistakes.

After hearing Li Yan's inference, Wang An nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with his point of view. In fact, sometimes Wang An is also very curious about Li Yan. After this time-breaking contact, he found that Li Yan was not like the legendary one.

So magical, it is true that people are smarter, but there are also people who are smarter than him. However, Li Yan is one of the most amazing things, that is, he is very accurate in grasping the direction of the world's general trend. Sometimes even he is willing to lose his advantage, even Wang

An Du doubted whether Li Yan had the ability to predict the future?

"It is difficult to be able to pass the power in your hands by scholars!" Cui Yu also said with a wry smile.

"Brother Cui was wrong. In fact, this matter is not difficult. It depends on whether we have patience." Li Yan seemed very relaxed.

"Liu Lang said it right. The development of industry and commerce is gradually eroding the foundation of the rule of scholars, and the process of eroding will become faster and faster. When this foundation is destroyed and full of holes, it will be the day when the rule of scholars ends.

, but I can't even explain what kind of situation it will be at that time." When Wang An said this, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

Although Wang An possesses great wisdom, he is a man and not a god after all. And he is bound by the thinking of this era, so he naturally cannot see the series of consequences caused by the rise of the bourgeoisie. However, as a later generation, Li Yan is better than anyone else.

It is clear that if industry and commerce are allowed to develop, capital will inevitably expand to an astonishing level, and the next one is likely to be a bourgeois revolution. Of course, as long as Li Yan is present, he will definitely not allow such a thing to happen to the Tang Dynasty.

of.

Since its birth, the monster capital has been greedy and predatory. Anything that dares to block its development will inevitably be overthrown by it with brute force. The scholar class, led by the five surnames and seven hopes, is the leader of the scholarly families.

, is the first opponent it encounters after birth. Only by turning this against each other can we create an environment that is more suitable for its development and expansion.

In addition, Li Yan was also very clear-headed that when capital expansion reaches a certain level, it is likely to have conflicts with the imperial power. This has been verified countless times in Western history. Both Britain and France are bourgeoisie.

The revolution has paid a heavy price. Although the imperial power of the Central Plains dynasty was much stronger than that of later Western countries, it was difficult to subdue the monster of capital.

As a member of the royal family, Li Yan naturally did not want the capital monster he released to devour the rule of the Tang Dynasty royal family. In addition, capital is not only a monster, but also a double-edged sword. If it is used well,

Not only can it strengthen the country and the people, but it can also pull the Chinese dynasty out of the vicious circle of separation and reunion, fundamentally avoiding the tragedy of later generations. This is also the fundamental reason why Li Yan resolutely released the capital monster.

As for how to control the monster of capital and ensure that it can provide nutrients to itself and the Tang Dynasty while hurting the enemy? Li Yan had already had a preliminary idea for this, but this idea must increase industry and commerce to a certain extent.

At the same time, capital has begun to show its greed and bloody side, and can it truly begin to realize it. After these two years of development, coupled with the original foundation of the Tang Dynasty, although the development of capital has not met Li Yan's requirements,

The difference was limited. When Datang's textile industry began to get on track, it was the time when he began to realize his vision.

The master and apprentice were drinking and chatting. Wang An probably saw that both disciples were there, so he drank a few drinks. As a result, he was blown by the cold wind on the lake. He immediately felt so drunk that he came to the painting boat.

The boat warehouse was resting, leaving only Li Yan and Cui Yu. They used to be close friends, but now because of Cui Mengxue's affairs, some other things have been added to each other's friendship. So after Wang An left, the two of them were both friends.

I didn't know what to say, but the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

"Liulang, I heard that you have attacked the Lu family in Fanyang, and have also mobilized many Chang'an New Age families to help you?" In the end, Cui Yu took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and began to ask about forcing the Lu family to break the engagement.

"Haha, I know that this matter cannot be hidden from Brother Cui. Lu's family only has land and linen industry support. Just as the development of the textile industry requires population and market, so I made some plans for Lu's family, first using a textile factory

Plunder the farmers on the other side's land, and then wait for the cotton from the textile factory to produce it, and then grab the linen market. However, because cotton requires a growth cycle, I also made some tricks on the linen production raw materials. I must

Lu is also worried about these things!" Li Yan said with a smile. He was still very confident about forcing Lu to break off the engagement.

However, Cui Yu was obviously a little worried and said again: "Liulang, although your approach has pushed Lu into a state of life and death, what if the other party would rather die than surrender than break off the engagement? And in a few months, it will be

The time for the marriage between my younger sister and Lu Hong is very tight!"

Li Yan also knew that time was tight, but he still said with a smile: "Brother Cui, Lu absolutely does not have the courage to give up his family for a woman. Even if Lu Hong disagrees, Lu will definitely force him.

He broke the engagement and took a step back, saying that if they really would rather die than surrender, then I would let Lu know that assassinating a person without leaving any clues, they were not the only ones who could play!"

When Li Yan said the last sentence, his voice was very light, but when he heard Cui Yu's ears, he was shocked and moved. He blurted out and said, "Liu Lang, you have to think clearly."

If Lu Hong is really assassinated, then everyone in the world will know that you did it. Even if there is no clue, it will be a huge blow to your fame, and it will even..."

Speaking of this, Cui Yu suddenly hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "It will even affect your competitiveness against the throne. After all, neither Your Majesty nor the civil and military officials would want to see anyone using assassination.

A prince who has a means to take power!”

Cui Yu's words are heartbreaking. After all, the crown prince is still Li Chengqian. But he is here to openly discuss the inheritance of the throne with Li Yan. If it is passed into the ears of those who are interested, even if he is of outstanding background, he will definitely not be able to eat it.

Walk in a siege.

When Li Yan heard Cui Yu's words, he was speechless. Because Li Shimin praised him last time, the city was full of storms. Everyone thought that he was most likely to replace Li Chengqian and become the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, only Li Yan and

Li Shimin and the others knew that he would never inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Cui, let it go with the flow!" Li Yan was really lazy to discuss the throne with others, so he immediately stopped and changed the topic, "By the way, Brother Cui, I don't know what Mengxue has done these days

Like, are you still angry with me?”

Speaking of the little sister, Cui Yu said with some emotion: "Liulang, I was a little worried before, thinking that you felt that you owe your little sister, so I agreed to marry her. But now I see you who are willing to destroy yourself for her.

Fame, I will finally feel relieved if I marry my younger sister to you in the future.”

Cui Yu's heartfelt words made Li Yan a little embarrassed, but before he could be modest, he heard the other party say: "Liulang, although I feel at ease with you, I still have a few words to explain, because don't look at the dreams.

Xue is my real sister, but in fact she is a miserable woman. She has suffered so much grievances since she was a child!"

When Li Yan heard Cui Yu's words, his eyes narrowed, and his face also showed a look of confusion. With Mengxue's identity, who else dared to let her be wronged?
