Li Renjie had a panoramic view of the changes in the Western Region caravan, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, His Majesty is so resourceful that nothing can escape his eyes.
"My master often teaches me that if you are sincere, you will achieve success, so I have come to see Mr. Qilin many times to ask him to come out and help with suggestions."
Li Renjie introduced Zhu Youde as he spoke, disguising his identity as a wealthy businessman in the capital.
Zhu Youde nodded and smiled lightly as a greeting.
The middle-aged scribe was stunned, as his identity was obviously beyond his expectation. He originally thought that these two people were warriors, but he did not expect that they were also wealthy businessmen.
"If you are sincere, you will succeed...be taught."
Zhu Youde waved his hand and told the story of Liu Bei visiting the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang to come out.
"In ancient times, Liu Xuande invited Mr. Zhuge to come out of the mountain. Today, I have asked Mr. Qilin to come out. This is an allusion."
Several people in the Western Regions Caravan were fascinated by what they heard. Is there really such an allusion in Daliang?
The leading scribe asked slightly confusedly: "Sir, did you read it in a history book? May I ask what book it is? I would like to pay homage to it."
Zhu Youde was stunned by this sentence. I learned it from the nine-year compulsory education textbook. How can I tell you?
After thinking for a while, he lowered his voice and said: "This is the immortal who told me in a dream that the secret of heaven must not be leaked."
The eyes of the leading scribe immediately changed when he looked at the two of them, from respect to sanctity, and even the young nobles behind him also cast a look of respect.
In this era where the emperor is the lord, anyone who has a relationship with an immortal will be respected, which is also the root of religious belief.
After saying goodbye to several people, Zhu Youde was sure that these people came to invite Lu Shengzhi to go to the Western Regions, possibly on behalf of the royal family...
The leading scribe stared at the retreating figure, sighed slightly, and lectured the young man behind him: "He is a strong martial artist and a rich man. Even this person can humbly climb up to see Mr. Qilin. Why do you have any grievances?"
"They are doing it for their own selfish desires. We are doing things for the prince and national affairs. How can we relax!"
Although several young people disdained to listen to the lecture, they still obediently bowed and accepted the instruction.
…………………………
On the top of Wolong Mountain, Zhu Youde met the book boy for the third time.
"Sir, you are still bathing. Please wait a moment. If you have nothing to do this morning, you should be able to see him."
The little book boy respects Zhu Youde very much and is able to climb Wolong Mountain with perseverance. This spirit alone is worth learning.
Li Renjie was no longer angry, and stood aside obediently, quietly thinking about what he had gained in the past few days.
I thought His Majesty brought him out to protect his safety, but visiting him for three consecutive days made him understand that this was a teaching.
Your Majesty wants him to step out of the darkness, think more, read more, learn more, and become a man of both civil and military abilities.
Previously, the Jin Yiwei hid in secret because the government was in chaos and had to work secretly. Now that the culprits have been eliminated, the Jin Yiwei should also come to the forefront.
Zhu Youde glanced at Li Renjie and nodded calmly...
Just as I was thinking about it, another person climbed to the top of the mountain, and it turned out to be a caravan from the Western Regions.
The first scribe saw someone waiting outside Mr. Qilin's Zen room, so he took them to the main hall to offer incense first.
About half an hour later, the meditation room opened wide, and a young old man in white plain clothes, with a ruddy complexion and excellent spirits walked out.
Lu Shengzhi approached quickly, bowed his head and was about to salute, but Zhu Youde stopped him: "Come to Wolong Mountain, how can I let you salute sir?"
The book boy also came out and said softly: "Sir, this person has come three times and has been waiting for a long time each time."
After hearing this, Lu Shengzhi pretended to be angry, hit the book boy on the forehead, and reprimanded: "If that's the case, why didn't you report it?"
The book boy covered his head and pouted, his eyes widened. Didn't you ask me to refuse? Why are you blaming me again?
Zhu Youde saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He couldn't help but feel happy, and he admired Lu Shengzhi's strategy even more.
I originally thought it was a coincidence that I didn't see him every time, but now it seems that it was all his arrangement.
The purpose should be a test.
I think Mr. Zhuge's visit to the thatched cottage three times also has the meaning of a test.
Zhu Youde thought in his heart, bowed slightly, and saluted Lu Shengzhi: "Zhu Youde has come to pay homage to Mr. Qilin."
Lu Shengzhi hurriedly returned the invitation and invited him into the room, invited him to take a seat, brought him tea himself, and sat down at the second table respectfully.
"Your Majesty has gone to the mountain many times, but to resolve the gap between rich and poor?"
Zhu Youde glanced at Li Renjie and asked him to take out Lu Shengzhi's memorial, which reflected the words: winemaking, minerals, gunpowder and other words.
"The gap between the rich and the poor in Daliang was not caused in one moment, but accumulated over the years. If we want to solve it from the root, we must not suppress the rich, but support the poor."
"There are three reasons. One is that the people are the foundation of the country; the other is that wealth leads to wealth, the country needs the leadership of the rich, and a few people get rich first and then lead the majority to get rich; the third is because the industrial chain of Daliang is incomplete."
"Your Majesty can check that most of the richest people in the capital are business families. The family has been a businessman for hundreds of years. This is an accumulated industry that occupies a large share of the market and is difficult to leverage. If there is a sudden rise in industries other than commerce, after
The scale of development is no less than that of commerce, wouldn’t it be able to drive another group of ‘businessmen’?”
Li Renjie was puzzled by Lu Shengzhi's words, but Zhu Youde's eyes really shone, as if he had seen a treasure.
He wanted to invite Lu Shengzhi to come out, firstly because of his excellent strategy, and secondly because he had deep knowledge in thinking about the current situation in the country.
It is proposed to develop industries such as brewing, gunpowder, and minerals, and at the same time support poor people to participate in it, and provide technical and financial help. This will not only improve the Daliang industrial chain, but also make the participating poor people rich.
Referring to history, the reason why wealthy businessmen are rich is precisely because they seize the opportunity of rapid business growth.
Therefore, creating new and favorable outlets is currently the simplest and most effective way to solve the gap between the rich and the poor.
Make good preparations in advance, wait for time to settle, and look back ten or twenty years later, and it may be correct to look at it from the perspective of results.
Zhu Youde said what was on his mind and started a heated discussion with Lu Shengzhi. The voices of the two became louder and louder, and their emotions became more intense. There was a sense of regret that they had met so late.
"Mr. Lu is really a talented man. The late emperor was so stupid and so stupid that he allowed you to live among the people and waste your talents..."
Zhu Youde sighed from the bottom of his heart, his eyes full of surprise and longing. With such talents helping him, it would be easy for him to take off.
"Your Majesty is serious. I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such wisdom. It seems that the rumors spread by the world are not true..."
Lu Shengzhi laughed ecstatically, and his view of the little emperor completely changed in his heart. People in the world said that His Majesty is a foolish king and a tyrant, but when I saw him today, he was a holy and wise king!
The two of them seemed to have met a close friend and regretted meeting each other so late.
"Qilin's talent is worth waiting for for three days! Please help me sir, Daliang needs him!" Zhu Youde said.
"The common people are willing to serve Your Majesty. Just by Your Majesty's three visits to Wolong Mountain, we know that Your Majesty is not what the people say!"
There were bursts of smiles in the Zen room, and the scholar quietly entered, saluting respectfully: "Sir, there is someone outside the house asking to see you..."
