Since several people supported him, Li Jiancheng naturally expressed his thoughts without reservation.

"Since businessmen are given land, they can be allowed to contribute to the construction of the Tang Dynasty. They can be allowed to contribute money, and then given corresponding honorary titles."

"Of course, the three titles of Lord, Baron and Viscount can be purchased with donated money. Those above Earl must make certain contributions to have them, and their titles are honorary titles and have no actual territory or power. Unless they contribute

Great, removing the honor and turning it into an actual title.”

"Your Highness, are you not selling your official position to get a title?" Pei Ji frowned, seeming a little confused. Not only him, but also Tang Jian and others had the same look.

Li Jiancheng smiled lightly and explained unhurriedly: "Mr. Pei, building the country can take many forms. Contribute effort, brains, and money. If a disaster occurs somewhere, let the people raise donations and contribute to the court.

Give commendation. But now we give honorary titles to those businessmen who funded the construction of Datang. Isn’t it the same reason?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right, but I am ignorant."

"In addition, some things controlled by the government should also be let go, such as salt and other things that are necessary for the people."

"Your Highness, salt is a rare item, and it is also a rare item for northern Turks, Tibet and other forces. If it is opened to the public, I am afraid that there will be merchants who will communicate with hostile forces."

Dou Wei said with a worried look on his face that smuggling was common in the past, present and future, so his worries were not unreasonable.

In ancient times, salt, steel, and grain were all managed by the government. The purpose was to prevent the people from circulating them into the hands of the northern forces. This would be a disaster for the people of the Central Plains.

Northerners are inherently tough, and if they are assisted by refined weapons, their combat effectiveness will rise several levels.

"Master Dou is very worried." Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement, and then changed the topic, "However, although the northern minorities are eyeing the Central Plains with covetous eyes, it is the behavior of a few people. For most people, they pursue

What we have is just food and clothing. How can we ignore the majority of people because of the reasons of a few people?"

After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Dou Wei looked a little embarrassed.

"Of course, Jiancheng also knows that Lord Dou may think Jiancheng is pedantic."

"Your Highness, I dare not."

"Haha." Li Jiancheng smiled faintly, "Master Dou dare not, not that he doesn't want to. Of course, Jiancheng is not being pedantic, but since he wants to pursue the world, he should have a benevolent heart and have the world in his heart.

All people are regarded as one's own subjects, and only then can one be a qualified person in power."

"I have learned a lesson."

Li Jiancheng looked at several people and said word by word: "The reason for this is that in the future, salt and grain will no longer be precious. Jiancheng has a way to increase the production of salt, and as for grain, it is not

Question. Brother Song returned from India and received new food crops. At the same time, [Champa Rice] also came to Champa. From now on, there is no need to worry about food issues."

"The prince is a great talent, I can't wait for you."

Seeing the actions of several people, Li Jiancheng felt helpless. Aren't they tired of saying such nice words in just a few words? "The adults don't have to be like this. In Jiancheng's eyes, the adults are like uncles. Why talk to the juniors like this?"

polite?"

"However, Your Highness, if you raise taxes on merchants, wouldn't it mean that those merchants would alienate us, the Tang Dynasty, and cooperate with other forces?"

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was so kind and polite, Pei Ji and the others were not pretentious. After analyzing the pros and cons, Tang Jian asked in confusion.

After listening to his words, Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed coldly and he said easily: "What Mr. Tang said is absolutely true, and Jiancheng has also considered it. However, these taxes are just a drop in the bucket for those businessmen, compared with what Jiancheng will give in the future."

The benefits are between a big witch and a small witch."

"Jian Jiancheng also knows that the families of many officials in the imperial court control many chambers of commerce, and there are many adults in their hands. Of course, Jiancheng said that he does not blame these adults."

Seeing the panic of several people, Li Jiancheng comforted them softly.

In ancient times, the officials of the imperial court seemed to be in a good position, but in fact, their salary was not enough to support their family. The food and clothing of the family, plus the servants and servants rewarded by the court, the meager salary was simply not enough.

Look. So, the subordinates of those officials will more or less have their own chambers of commerce, otherwise they would have starved to death on the streets.

Li Jiancheng's seemingly gentle words actually contained a hint of threat: "Jianjiancheng knows this, so he won't stop the adults from doing what they do. However, as for the chambers of commerce under other adults, Jiancheng doesn't think the adults will inform them."

Bar?"

Pei Ji and the others had cold sweat dripping from their foreheads and even claimed that they did not dare.

They were very surprised. Li Jiancheng's kind words earlier made them think that the prince was a good-tempered person; but later, Li Jiancheng's carrots and sticks suddenly let them know that the prince in front of them was not easy to control at all.

Role.

In this way, they were even more in awe of Li Jiancheng.

At the same time, they can only pray secretly in their hearts, hoping that after the new policy is released, those officials who are close to them will not do something that they will regret in the future.

While Pei Ji and others were thinking, Li Jiancheng was also thinking about things.

"Cheng'er, if you have any questions, please tell us and let's discuss it together." Li Yuan, who had been silent since Li Jiancheng spoke, asked softly when he saw Li Jiancheng frowning and thinking.

After Li Yuan spoke, Pei Ji and others were shocked.

When they were talking to Li Jiancheng just now, due to Li Jiancheng's momentum, they all forgot that Li Yuan was still sitting aside, as if he was not there. Thinking of this, they were shocked and glanced at him secretly, only to find that Li Yuan did not show any displeasure at all.

Colorful, but with a happy smile on his face.

Seeing Li Yuan's smile, several people felt relieved. At this time, they felt more and more that Li Jiancheng's status in Li Yuan's heart had probably reached a level that they could not even imagine.

Perhaps, Li Yuan had the idea of ​​abdicating his position directly in favor of someone worthy of his post.

Thinking of this, they were even more shocked.

But they didn't know that Li Yuan did have this idea, but it was a pity that a guy who just liked to live an ordinary life didn't have such an idea. If they were to know, their eyes would definitely pop out of their heads in shock.

Li Shimin on the side looked at the warm appearance of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan with some envy, while Li Xiuning looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, looking very happy.

Li Jiancheng was called out by Li Yuan, and then he remembered that he was no longer struggling alone. With the support of so many people, why should he be like this?

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng felt relieved, but Li Yuan didn't know that his words made an already lazy guy become even more lazy!

If he knew the consequences and time could come again, Li Yuan would definitely not say another word.

ps: I don’t know if the kid who read the previous chapter will read this chapter. You asked me why Xiami wants to write a protagonist who advocates gender equality and the military system.

I don’t know if this is the first time I’ve read a time-travel novel. If it doesn’t embody the ideas of the new era, then what’s the point of writing about time-travel? It’s better to write about the city. I won’t say more, just take your time and take a look! I said No more power.
Chapter completed!
