As for the situation of Queen Changsun, Li Er asked around the imperial doctors, but they all said there was nothing wrong, but Li Er still understood...
The doctor said there was no problem but the queen felt uncomfortable. This probably had something to do with the fact that the queen had been asking him to take Li Sheng back to the palace some time ago, but she had never nodded...
Isn’t this Jade Syndrome...
After all, as a mother, how can I not want to be reunited with my children? This is human nature.
But Li Er also had troubles that he couldn't express.
Because so far, Li Sheng has made many achievements, such as defeating powerful Turks, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes...
But these feats seemed a bit uninteresting and not heavy enough... In fact, in Li Er's opinion, this horse riding was simply too heavyweight to be considered heavyweight.
But having said that, powerful generals since ancient times generally cannot be given too much political power. This is the experience accumulated by the ancients over many years.
Defeating the Turks cannot be used as a basis for certain things...
What about potatoes and sweet potatoes? These two items are also of great value.
But this thing is not easy to reflect Li Sheng's achievements. After all, looking for this kind of thing, Li Er, as a father, certainly knows that it is hard-won.
But most people don’t know that food requires the same effort as tasting a hundred herbs? It’s impossible...
And Li Er is quite clear about the thoughts of ordinary people, so this thing doesn't count.
So what counts...
After thinking about it, Li Er also felt that it should bring a large wave of visible benefits to Datang, so that counts!
A huge wave of benefits is visible to the naked eye, and two points are indispensable.
For example, if we directly find a large piece of land for Datang, it is all fertile farmland, which is definitely enough.
Or, other similar tangible benefits that are visible to the naked eye are also acceptable.
But this is not easy. Li Er can only secretly tell himself to hold back.
After all, super elites like Li Sheng are too rare to make political mistakes.
Have to wait!
However, it is difficult for Li Er to answer this question...
But after all, Li Sheng is doing well. It's good to be able to meet and chat for a few words when there is nothing to do. Anyway, he is fine.
Li Er casually changed the subject of Queen Changsun, and Li Sheng frowned, but he thought that the conditions in Lao Li's home were good, so there shouldn't be any big problems. At this time, Lao Du, Lao Fang, and Lao Wei also came.
, everyone started chatting.
This conversation has been long gone...
Li Sheng told Li Er and others about various news about Hangzhou and the surrounding area.
especially!
The new bases opened by the Forbidden Army in the Zhongzuo Institute and the military town of the Zhongzuo Institute are all open to merchants.
What do you mean? The Tang Dynasty, like the Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty, both emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. If they were caught criticizing things like hoarding goods and speculating on prices, they would be punished with an iron fist and a heavy hammer.
but!
If you are engaged in maritime trade, then there is no problem, as long as you follow the categories of goods specified by Datang.
Resources come in and manufactured products come out...
If you do business like this, Datang will not only not hammer you, but will also support you!
Of course, this era certainly does not have the brutal support of direct subsidies like modern times. It is definitely impossible for Li Er to directly spend money to encourage business.
But it is already very good. You must know the Zhongzuo Institute and the countless bases established on various islands along the way to the Southeast Bay. The general direction is of course for the expansion of China's resource territory.
But from another perspective, this is not convenient for business travel.
After all, according to the ordinary businessman's own path, it would take years of the monkey to open up so many footholds?
Not to mention these big ships, they are beyond the reach of ordinary businessmen.
And these infrastructure supports have moved countless businessmen in China. How can there be such a good thing since ancient times?
Of course, according to Li Sheng, these supports are "low-key announcements."
It was announced publicly but in a low-key way. Li Sheng reasonably blindly guessed that these guys probably didn't know that the current business environment was very good.
But after that, this time...it was Li Sheng's turn to feel strange...
After saying this, these guys all showed smiles, very satisfied.
He stroked his beard and smiled, clasping his hands together, praising this hard-won luck, but...
But it doesn’t seem like it’s very surprising…
In other words, this expression does not look like a surprise, but rather a smile similar to coping with the situation...
Not even very happy.
Neither surprised nor happy, Li Sheng was a little confused...
After hesitating for a moment, he had to say, "No, Lao Li, you guys...don't you understand what I mean? I mean this..."
Li Sheng went on to explain to Lao Li and others the two commercial plans of the South China Sea and the Northern Silk Road, as well as the related infrastructure.
A little explanation without going into details, but it's clear enough.
Anyone who is a businessman will be excited, because the farther the distance, the greater the profits. This was the case in ancient times.
Because the cost of goods exchange is usually very high, and the cost of information is even more valuable.
In ancient times, it was impossible to find out the prices of cloth, food, copper and iron in the two places without certain skills, unlike now where everything can be done quickly.
And this means profits, huge profits!
It's just that it was not easy to do business in ancient times. Those who could do business were either salesmen who had no other livelihood and could only do business, or they were wealthy families with great hands and eyes, and a group of dead soldiers in their hands. No one dared to offend the master, such as the five surnames.
This is the case for some branches of the Qiwang family.
In short, without certain skills... it is actually force. Without mastery of force, running a business is nonsense, and at the same time, you have to understand the price, so the cost is even more unknown.
But if infrastructure is built, the necessary condition that "you must be a bandit bully" to do business will be cancelled.
What is this equivalent to? It is equivalent to a large piece of hardware being directly optimized, and the cost immediately drops significantly, and this means...
Wouldn’t the potential profits increase significantly?
When Li Sheng explained this, Li Er and others laughed from ear to ear, with faces full of satisfaction.
Um……
Although they were all talking riddles to their own people as riddlers, when Li Sheng said this, Li Er and others felt that their busy work in the past two years was really valuable, and they felt a sense of accomplishment...
Delightful!
But while they were thinking this, Li Sheng on the other side was even more surprised...
Now these guys are all smiling with satisfaction, but there is still no sense of surprise...
Weird, so weird... Li Sheng couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Could these guys be crazy...
