Datang: Encouraging Li Er to rebel, being overheard

Chapter 39 The Significance of Existence of Vendors

Li Chengqian fell and ate shit, yelled, and looked at Li Shimin pitifully after getting up, covering his buttocks.

It's a pity that Li Shimin has turned his head to change his clothes now, and Li Chengqian can only curse in his heart.

It had been half an hour since Li Shimin came back after changing his clothes, and Li Chengqian was very suspicious that Li Shimin was deliberately punishing him.

"Let's go."

The father and son arrived on Chang'an Street very quickly, and Li Shimin only brought a eunuch behind him, who was responsible for collecting money and things.

Li Chengqian looked at the bustling Chang'an Street, his eyes were full of pride.

[During the Zhenguan period, under the rule of Li Shimin, the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a prosperous life. They really deserved to be called the eternal emperor. 】

[In the "New Book of Tang", it is really not a cover to get the evaluation of "the ruler of the supreme ruler will not come out of the world!". 】

Even if it was only the first year of Zhenguan, every policy Li Shimin implemented was extremely beneficial to the common people.

It can already be seen that it is thriving.

Li Shimin followed behind, listening to Li Chengqian's evaluation of himself in his heart, he suddenly felt very comfortable and ecstatic.

These evaluations should be what the immortal said.

"Father, do you think these vendors are an important part of the prosperous world?"

A sudden question made Li Shimin stunned for a moment, and then carefully watched these vendors.

It has to be said that without these vendors, the prosperous age would lose a lot of beauty.

Aren't these ordinary people who are busy in order to live the best scenery?
Looking at Li Shimin who was meditating, Li Chengqian put his hands behind his back and walked slowly in front of him.

"Father, without these vendors, what do you think Chang'an Street would be like?"

"There is no shouting, no anger, only some passers-by in a hurry, and there is no transaction, so what can be used to prove that they live a prosperous life?"

"Do you want to write the word rich on their faces?"

Li Shimin was silent for a long time after hearing these words, and even the eunuchs who followed him were also silent. They didn't know what to say.

Maybe Li Chengqian's words were too advanced, and they couldn't understand them for a while.

"Old man, how do you sell sugar paintings?" Li Shimin, who was silent, suddenly heard Li Chengqian's question, and when he looked up, he saw Li Chengqian chatting with a vendor.

The vendor was an old man, with a hunched body, but with a soft and sincere smile on his old face, he looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"Son, what do you want to buy?"

Li Chengqian smiled: "I want that sugar sword."

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly. He always felt that Li Chengqian's words really meant something.

Was it about the status of the merchant again?

But at that time, he had already given Li Chengqian authority, and he could use other people's hands to manipulate and make money in business.

"Kid, go on."

Li Chengqian smiled and took the sugar sword down, held it in his hand and looked at it again and again, with joy in his eyes, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

"father."

After all, there are so many people listening, so they can't shout like fathers and fathers like before.

"Father, if you can improve the status of merchants, I believe that more people will become merchants, and Datang will become richer."

Li Shimin frowned, did not agree with Li Chengqian's words, shook his head, looked at these vendors and the people coming and going, and said in a low voice.

"If they all go to buy and sell things, what about food? No one wants to farm the land anymore, what should I do?"

The Tang Dynasty was based on agriculture, and only when the common people had enough to eat would they live comfortably, and if they lived comfortably, the country would be stable and peaceful.

If all go to sell things, do business.

No one is farming anymore, and it is difficult to even have a full stomach. Under such circumstances, how can we expect the country to be stable?

"Father, you don't have to worry about this, the market will adjust it by itself."

[The market has a self-regulating function. If no one grows food, food will gradually become scarce, and someone will always realize that they will go back to grow food. 】

[Won't it slowly return to normal? 】

[Why can't you even figure this out? 】

He whispered in his heart that Li Chengqian had suppressed his temper as much as possible and was speaking nicely.

The most important thing Li Shimin listened to was Li Chengqian's heart. As for what Li Chengqian said, he didn't want to hear a word.

It's all a lie.

He did a good job on the surface, who knows what kind of mess he is thinking in his heart.

Along the way, Li Chengqian also bought a lot of things, and not long after, Li Chengqian came to the brothel he had visited before.

Looking back at Li Shimin, Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak, but saw Li Shimin raised his hand, directly interrupting what he was about to say.

"You rebellious son, you actually want to bring me...you want to bring me to this kind of place!"

The old eunuch who followed behind trembled slightly, looking at Li Chengqian with a hint of horror in his eyes.

Dare to bring Li Shimin to such a ghostly place, I have to say that Li Chengqian is very courageous.

Facing the anger in Li Shimin's eyes, Li Chengqian looked extremely indifferent, with his hands behind his back, walking slowly in front of him.

"Father, it's actually better to get news in this kind of place. All kinds of people gather here, and news from all over the world gathers here. Send more people here, maybe you can get some surprises."

Saying that he had come inside, the previous procuress immediately stood up with bright eyes, and stood beside Li Chengqian, showing off his hands. The pungent smell of perfume and the heavy makeup on his face made people feel nauseous.

But facing such an old bustard, Li Chengqian pinched her face with a smile, put his hands behind his back and flicked the white powder a few times, and said with a smile.

"Take us to a private room first. Remember that the sound insulation effect should be better. This time, the matter I want to discuss with you is more serious, and I must not let others know."

Even though Li Chengqian was smiling, seeing the extra hostility in his eyes, the old bustard trembled slightly, forcing out a smile and nodding repeatedly.

"Of course, you come with me."

As he spoke, the bustard wriggled his bloated figure and led the way ahead.

Li Shimin and the eunuch looked at each other. The eunuch wanted to say something, but under Li Shimin's gaze, he didn't say anything and could only choose to shut up.

After a moment of silence, Li Shimin spoke lightly.

"You don't know anything about today's incident. We've been walking outside since we came out. Do you understand?"

"clear"

The eunuch trembled slightly, he naturally understood what Li Shimin meant.

Following Li Shimin and Li Chengqian to the room brought by the bustard, Li Chengqian took a deep breath, sat down, and tapped the table with one hand, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"I told you before that I asked you to sell the wine. How did you sell it?"

"It's sold out, and I got a total of 300 taels of silver. I'll ask someone to bring the money here."

The madam didn't dare to be careless at all, and immediately ordered someone to bring the box containing the money.

Sitting next to Li Chengqian, Li Shimin was horrified.

"How much wine did you give them?"

"One pot is sold in a fixed amount every day, and it should be almost sold by now."

Li Chengqian responded, listening to what Li Chengqian said, the old bustard suddenly showed a bit of bitterness.
