Datang: I am a restaurant owner and a general who governs the country.

And his father also called himself a businessman.

In this way, isn't this scolding himself?

Chu He smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to deny it.

"Since ancient times, the status of a farmer, a businessman, and a merchant is indeed the lowest. "

This is not Chu He's nonsense.

Since the Tang Dynasty, businessmen have been lowly professions.

Inferior to craftsmen and farmers.

Heavy agriculture over business.

This is a tradition that has been passed down from previous generations.

Moreover, in the dynasties between the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

Merchants are not allowed to serve as officials and take the imperial examination.

It can be seen how much businessmen are looked down upon.

When he came to Li Shimin, he was a lot more enlightened.

But because of the rules, nothing has changed.

Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai.

The poems he wrote were also popular in later generations.

Very famous.

But he is such a great talent, but he himself has no record of fame.

It's because of his origin.

He was born into a merchant family and was the son of a merchant.

Because of this, there is no record of his fame.

It can be seen how unvalued businessmen are.

Li Chengqian would think so, and he was not surprised.

"You don't have to explain anything.

Chu He waved his hand and said, "The reason why I asked you this is to tell you a truth.

"Shinong industry and commerce are indispensable.

"Everyone has something they are good at.

"However, if Datang wants to develop, it needs businessmen. I

took a sip of water and moistened my throat.

Chu He continued: "What is the most important thing for a country's development?

"Whether it's military training or anything else, it's inseparable from the economy.

"And the economy, naturally, is inseparable from businessmen.

"Therefore, if you want to be strong, you must first change your contempt for businessmen.

Li Chengqian nodded secretly when he heard this.

I think it makes a lot of sense.

Chu He asked again: "Have you ever heard a saying that the people are rich and the country is strong?"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and he was so incisive.

Chu Hedao: "When the people are rich, the country will naturally be strong." The

voice changed.

Chu Hedao: "But if the people want to be rich, it is not enough to give them agriculture.

"Let's not talk about food and clothing, just all kinds of taxes are enough for them to have a headache. Although

Li Shimin has reduced taxes, since he took office, disasters have continued.

Li Shimin was also worried.

Even if you want to help the people, you can't do anything.

Although Li Shimin later created a prosperous era, he has not yet achieved that level.

Li Chengqian nodded secretly.

I can't help but ask, "What should I do?"

"Encourage business!"

"Businessmen are not lowly.

"Of course, agriculture can't be put down.

Chu He said slowly: "Usually, the people cultivate crops, and they generally grow twice a year.

"They don't have much to do except for the time they need to take care of the crops.

"At this time, you can start some small businesses to improve your life.

"Over time, the people will naturally become rich. "

One more sentence.

"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

"That's a good job at the moment. "

This displacements came just in time.

Because Chu He proposed to work for relief, it can be regarded as having labor.

As long as the road is repaired, the commercial route is also established.

At that time, merchants from other places will also flock to Chang'an.

Li Chengqian nodded.

I have to admire Chu He's long-term vision.

Let my father build the road in advance, I'm afraid he already had this idea!

It is worthy of being the pillar of his father's attention.

"Anything else?" Li Chengqian continued to ask.

Chu He gave him a blank look.

Said: "It's not early, I'm tired today, go wash and sleep!"

"Also, wash the dishes." After

saying that, Chu He left.

Li Chengqian's face was resentful.

Halfway through the talk, it's really annoying.

......

Palace.

Mingde Palace.

"Lizhen, why are you here?" Empress

Eldest Sun looked at her daughter in front of her and wondered.

"The son is here to talk to the queen mother about business.

Li Lizhi said seriously.

The

eldest grandson queen is interested.

asked, "Tell me, what do you want to talk about with this palace?"

Li Li's eyes rolled.

Said: "Isn't the queen mother going to cooperate with Brother Chu?"

"Erchen thought, this must need an intermediary.

Therefore, Erchen intends to introduce himself and act as an intermediary. "

I'm afraid that the eldest grandson queen is unwilling.

She said again: "Although Brother Chu's personality will definitely not fool the queen mother.

"But since it's a cooperation with the queen mother, it's natural to do it yourself." "

Oh,

the eldest grandson looked at her boastful daughter with interest.

Laughing: "Look, you're a drunkard, not in the bar?"

It's fake to want to supervise, but it's true to want to find that kid in Chu He.

"Queen Mother?" Li

Lizhi began to be coquettish.

"Okay, okay!"

"This is what the palace promises you." In

the end, Empress Eldest Sun agreed.

She knew that even if she didn't agree, Li Lizhen would find other excuses to leave the palace.

In that case, why not agree to her?

The other side.

Li Shimin has just received a letter from Li Chengqian.

"Okay, that's a good point!" Li

Shimin couldn't help but be amazed after reading the letter

.

Although there is not much content, every sentence is a golden and jade good word.

Encourage business and drive economic development.

Because of the problem of tradition, this is something Li Shimin did not expect.

He naturally has the intention to make Datang a prosperous world.

Later, it did.

Chu He's move is nothing more than speeding up the progress.

As long as Li Shimin issues a decree to encourage business, the progress of the prosperous era will be accelerated.

But soon Li Shimin frowned.

Merchants have been a lowly profession since ancient times.

If you want to encourage business, you face many problems.

Moreover, this is not in a hurry, so I can only figure it out slowly.

But Chu He's words can be regarded as speaking to his heart.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

I have to say that Chu He's sentence is very reasonable.

Other cities or small countries.

A lot of the specialties are very good, but a lot of things are buried because of the route.

But if the roads are built, a decree to encourage business will be issued.

It will definitely drive the economy.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was in a surging mood.

He can already foresee the prosperity of Datang under his leadership.

At that moment, I was excited and wanted to go to Chu He to talk to Chu He in detail.

But after looking at the sky, I had to plan to go again tomorrow.

At the same time, I am also very pleased.

When Fang Xuanling came back to recover his life.

He praised Li Chengqian's performance this time.

Say he's doing a great job.

Li Shimin was very complacent.

It was right to let Gao Ming follow Chu He.

The kid probably learned a lot.

It's just a little bit of what makes him unhappy.

is the dignified prince, and he was actually called by that kid from Chu He.

But for the sake of Datang's future, he can only endure it.

He even had a thought.

That is to let his other sons also be sent to Chu He to study.

Just for the future of Datang.
