Chapter 58 The son really expected things like God
Li Sheng sighed with emotion. Anyway, that's how it is with key affairs. It's just a bystander's opinion.
What's the use if the person involved can't hear it.
Li Er and others smiled and sighed that they were lucky enough not to be discovered, and then they felt happy in their hearts.
Your Majesty can't hear it?
Who said that.
Your Majesty heard everything clearly, okay?
"What a brilliant idea, what a brilliant idea!"
Li Er smiled from ear to ear, and Wei Zheng and others were even more delighted.
The pale and tired faces just now are now glowing red, as if they are about to celebrate the New Year!
With Young Master’s two-pronged plan, why not worry about not being able to solve the current dilemma!
In just three moves and two moves, His Majesty was surrounded and suppressed, and the extremely passive situation was completely reversed, turning into a situation in which he was encircling and suppressing various aristocratic families!
"Young Master is in the countryside, but you can come up with such a good plan for Your Majesty."
"If the young master gets a chance in the future, even the prime minister of the dynasty can do it!"
Fang Xuanling seemed to be jokingly complimenting her, but her eyes were very serious and she sighed!
The rest of Wei Zheng and others, and even Li Er, all nodded.
In the morning, he was a farmer, and in the evening, he ascended to the emperor's palace. On weekdays, he often said it just to encourage young people to make progress, but it should not be taken seriously.
But Li Sheng's...this situation...
Even if he is not Li Er's son, I'm afraid there won't be any problem in being granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister!
What's more, this guy is indeed a His Highness, the real deal...
But Li Sheng shook his head.
"You're just kidding me. I'm going to be the limelight for coming up with such a plan for the emperor. Isn't this getting boring?"
…
"In order to keep the wealth and power in their hands, these aristocratic families will not send assassins to deal with me every day once they know that it is my idea. I don't have any soldiers, so being in the limelight... isn't that asking for death?"
Li Sheng only thought that the other party was bragging and imagining the future, so he also denied what Fang Xuanling said from the perspective of imagining the future.
But what he didn't expect was that Fang Xuanling was serious.
Wei Zheng, Li Er and others nodded, also seriously.
Li Er was in an extremely good mood at the moment. When he nodded, he even thought about how much farmland and how big a mansion he would give Li Sheng.
When Li Sheng said this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat...
The rest of Wei Zheng and others also took a breath instantly.
Damn it!
Your Highness is still in a clear head!
They were just thinking about how to trick Li Sheng into going to Chang'an to become an official or something.
As a result, Li Sheng said this and they finally reacted.
It’s not the time yet!
Taking His Highness to Chang'an at this time is not an attempt to murder His Highness!
"Yes, that's right...Young Master is right. These aristocratic families will do anything to make profits. Don't let outsiders know about this!"
"Yes, this young man's safety is important!"
Li Er also patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Young master must have thought carefully, otherwise it would have been... tsk tsk, ugh!"
As he spoke, Li Shimin sighed, "If the young master could be born as an official, how happy the people would be... It's a pity that for the sake of peace and happiness for the people of the Tang Dynasty, the young master can't get fame and fortune now. We are really..."
Li Sheng immediately laughed when he heard what Li Er said.
"No, Lao Li, you guys are really crazy about that, aren't you? Do you really think of yourself as your majesty? It's impossible for him to hear these strategies in the first place, right? Besides, they are surrounded by people like Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.
Such a talented person at that time, how could they not come up with such a trivial trick?"
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui:…………(sweating soybeans)
Your Highness, you have really left all the ministers speechless!
Please stop talking, okay?
We are really not outstanding people in the world!
You can still brag about it in other places, but when these words come out of your mouth, do you want to make people laugh to death!
"Besides, I don't want to be a prime minister. It's good to be a rich man now. Isn't it quite comfortable to do some small business and earn some pocket money?"
Li Sheng leisurely closed his eyes and took a sip of fruit tea. Li Er and others took the opportunity to exchange glances immediately. It seems that His Highness really wants to be the free king, so why not first think about how to reward him in a roundabout way, and let His Highness first
Become the idle king outside the field of vision...
Fame and wealth are not what His Highness is after. So, good land, a big house, beautiful maids, etc. are totally something that can be considered... The aristocratic family would not even think of this as part of His Highness's plan.
At this moment, everyone has their own secrets, but they all admit it openly, which means that the young master still thinks carefully.
Li Sheng has already greeted Mian'er,
From welcoming everyone to sit down to chatting till now, Mian'er has already prepared lunch in the kitchen.
The lunch arranged for this day is still hot pot.
Li Er and others took a look,
Hoo ho ho, not only has the big problem in my mind been solved, but there is also delicious food!
For a moment, I was beaming and smiling, almost happier than during the Chinese New Year.
During the dinner, I felt in my heart that I was lucky to have His Highness this time.
Otherwise, given the conflict between His Majesty and these aristocratic families, I really don’t know how it will end this time, and I am afraid there will be another disaster.
Invisibly, how many people have been saved by His Highness?
With emotion, Wei Zheng picked up a piece of potato and put it in his mouth.
"It's really sweet, with so many spices, and spicy and delicious... The young master can find potatoes and sweet potatoes for the Tang Dynasty. He is really a saint for the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Sheng laughed and said, "You are a saint now? I will show you new agricultural technology another day..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Ruhui seemed to suddenly remember something.
"By the way, sir, there is one more thing. I think you might have something to do."
"Didn't the imperial court issue an imperial edict recently and hold the imperial examination? As a result, after the edict was issued, the price of book paper across the country rose rapidly... Young people everywhere today, as well as families who aspire to learn, have no way to buy books for their children.
I can’t afford to read anymore.”
"now……"
Du Ruhui said with some embarrassment, "Obviously the edict was meant to benefit the people, but now it has caused widespread resentment among the people. It's really..."
Li Er, Wei Zheng and others also frowned.
The situation Du Ruhui mentioned is also one of the things that Li Er and the others have been worried about recently.
Although it is not as disgusting as the hundreds of officials causing trouble, in the long run, I am afraid it will be more harmful...
Hearing this, Li Sheng smiled slightly.
"This matter is very simple..."
"Books in the Tang Dynasty are usually about three taels of silver, right? With a price like this, the cost should not be too low, so the papermaking and printing industries must be run by powerful owners, and most of them are from a certain aristocratic family.
Be an oligarch."
"With just one word from this family, the price of books and paper across the country will fluctuate significantly. Well, let me ask you first, is the price increase going up at the same time across the country?"
Du Ruhui nodded vigorously, "Exactly!"
"exactly!"
"Young Master is indeed very good at predicting things..." Wei Zheng sighed softly, "But I'm afraid that Young Master can't think of any solution for this kind of thing, right?"
When Wei Zheng said this, Fang Xuanling, Li Er, and Du Ruhui suddenly became depressed.
