You must know that Confucianism has always mentioned one thing since ancient times.
A gentleman talks about what is right but not what is beneficial.
But this was originally just about morality and ethics.
However, the powerful feudal lords and wealthy gentry families all over the world have taken advantage of this righteous status, treating the common people as nothing more than trivial matters, and reaping the benefits of the world.
turn out to be……
Is there such a deep level in interpreting Confucian classics?
Li Sheng did not continue on this point, but returned to the matter of shipbuilding.
"Sea trade is indeed profitable and harmless, but... I want to remind everyone."
"In the future, once the benefits of sea trade are known to the world, there will definitely be people who dare to fight hard and are not afraid of dangers to participate, just like you. But at the same time..."
"Although the benefits of sea trade are great, they all rely on land rent income, plus the wealthy gentry families who buy great scholars to give themselves gold. Will they give up the comfortable land rent and go to the sea to earn profits like you?"
"They won't!"
Li Sheng's face was cold and extremely serious.
"This group of people will be jealous of the benefits of sea trade, but they dare not participate in it themselves."
"But the benefits are always real, and they will appear in the end. Those who participate in sea trade can get rich quickly. And...have the capital to compete with them."
"What will they face by then? The land deeds in their hands are no longer the most valuable thing, and even those fields may be swallowed up by the emerging sea trade upstarts!"
"In order to preserve the shameful and stable income from field rent, Lao Li... do you think these people are good at personnel matters? Sooner or later, Haitrade will be completely destroyed by them!"
"Compared to this kind of outcome, what kind of loss is a mere shipyard being stolen? Running a shipyard requires energy and IQ that are no less than going to sea trade. If you are willing to run a factory..."
Li Sheng chuckled, "That's already a thank you!"
Li Sheng's words were not empty words.
How awesome was the navy of the Ming Dynasty back then? Artillery technology even led Europe for a time.
The result... haha, it was banned from the sea for no reason.
It is simply conceivable that there are some people who are causing trouble among them.
The same thing also happened in the Song Dynasty.
Obviously the Song army was so strong, Yue Wumu, and the Wu brothers could pierce through the barbarians in the north with just a few soldiers, but what was the result?
hehe!
Even though North America was so awesome, it gradually became unbearable...
The Republican Party is the one who controls the country, and the Republican Party is the one who is engaged in construction. As a result, the Democratic Party is a group of people who are awesome...
Li Er, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling...
Before Li Sheng finished speaking, they were already stunned.
By the time Li Sheng finished speaking, his entire back was already soaked with cold sweat!
Good guy...
If this is true, then our Tang Dynasty would have lived for nearly a thousand years, not to mention following the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Whether he can live for two hundred years is unknown!
Think about the years of Wei and Jin. It was Boss Cao’s family who clearly accomplished the great cause of unification, but as a result, the Sima family...
Among the Sima family, Sima Yi was somewhat meritorious at first.
But in the Western Jin Dynasty, those princes of the Sima family...fitted His Highness's description perfectly!
And these princes are not just buying great scholars to give themselves gold.
In the beginning, it was true that he bought great Confucian scholars to give him money and took this opportunity to go to Beijing and usurp power.
But later...
Later, it became the Eight Kings Rebellion...
When I think about it, the situation is not only terrible, it is simply extremely terrible!
Although...at first glance, it seems a bit too creepy.
but……
I don’t know why, be it Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui or Li Er...
Obviously they all know that Li Sheng is just a young man, but...
This sounds like Li Sheng has really seen such a thing.
It's extremely real, even a little weird...
But compared to this strange and weird feeling, the matter itself is much more serious.
After all, they were the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they would not dare to treat such things as jokes.
Besides, history is really not short of such things...
Li Er and others are getting more and more nervous and scared at this moment.
If this shit is true, then the Tang Dynasty will really not be able to survive.
"Sir... how should we resolve this matter?"
"We, the Tang Dynasty, have finally made it this far. If...if it really happens, our Datang Dynasty will be doomed!"
Fang Xuanling was the first to lose control and asked anxiously.
And the sentence hasn’t been finished yet…
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Li Er couldn't help but want to speak, but seeing that Fang Xuanling had already spoken, everyone looked at Li Sheng.
Looking at Li Sheng blankly!
Fang Xuanling jumped to her feet anxiously, "Your Majesty... Young Master, you taught us this, and you also helped us figure out the destiny of the country. You sent Buddha to the West, you can't stop talking half-way through it!"
Everyone stared at Li Sheng in a daze. After being stunned for a second, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Is this the attitude of asking the boss for advice?
Is this a reasonable attitude?
This is unreasonable!
So they rushed forward, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Li Er all rushed to Li Sheng's side.
Those who beat their backs beat their backs, those who beat their legs beat their legs, and those who pinch their shoulders...
Everyone is smiling!
Now it was Li Sheng's turn to be confused.
What are these guys doing? The human trafficker mode has started again, right...
However, Li Sheng had seen enough of this group of middle-aged and middle-aged teenagers from the Tang Dynasty to pretend to be worried about the country and the people, so he was no longer surprised.
So I took a sip of tea...and continued.
"It's actually easy to solve this matter. It's nothing more than a fiefdom!"
"manor?"
As soon as these two words came out of Li Sheng's mouth, Li Er was stunned.
Fiefdom is...how does it work?
By the way, hasn’t this thing... been eliminated a long time ago?
It's not good for a place to be powerful. Besides...
etc……
"But Young Master, didn't you say that you are against land rent? Can't there be people in the country who make a career out of collecting land rent?"
"If this is the case... then why... still enfeoff?"
Li Er directly made Monk Zhang Er confused...
Isn't this strange?
Li Sheng chuckled, "Of course enfeoffment does not mean enfeoffing the land in China. China is the fundamental land!"
"Under the whole world, is it the king's soil? The king's soil is given by heaven and is kept by the emperor. Who is heaven? It is the common people in the world. Can this thing be given to private individuals to collect land rent? Just reward meritorious ministers, but it has no merit.
Where do you get the qualifications to enfeoff?"
"Oh...in that case..."
The new words Li Er heard today were too complicated and profound, and his brain was a little tired at the moment.
However, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling... these three ministers were immediately stunned and looked at Li Sheng with wide eyes.
"Master, what this means is..."
"That's right, everyone. Of course, the land in China cannot be divided into enfeoffments, but who says that overseas lands cannot be enfeoffed?"
"Whether it's the Southeast Bay or the Americas... these are basically some savages living there. They are not divided into feudal states and are reserved for the New Year?"
