"Are you serious?" Li Tai asked calmly at Hirota Narakawa.

"I dare not deceive Your Highness." Nagawa Hakata had a very respectful attitude.

"In this case, I want to ask you, do you think Hakata Port is better or Yamato?" Li Tai asked another question with a smile. If someone who doesn't know thinks he is chatting with Hakata Narakawa, but Hakata Narakawa is sweating coldly at this moment.

Isn't this... too straightforward? And Li Tai always asked this with a smile. Isn't the people in the Tang Dynasty used to talking and hiding half of the words? Now even most people in Yamato are like this. In their opinion, wise men should be like this. If they say it too straightforward, what's the point?

The problem is that he doesn't know how to answer this straightforward words now.

If Li Tai knew what he was thinking, I'm afraid Li Tai would tell him that he was not like this before. He was actually not much different from what Nagawa Hakata thought, but he only understood something after he arrived at Huo Gang's side.

A true wise man does not mean that you can show your wisdom by using the method of saying it. A truly wise man must be clear in his heart. As for how to speak, it depends on the situation. In the face of absolute power and advantage, isn’t it tired to speak with half-covered eyes? How troublesome it will be to guess.

Of course, Li Tai will definitely not admit that he was influenced by his master. Now the Tang Dynasty is a naked crush on Yamato. Li Tai has sufficient confidence to win the entire Yamato. Of course, it was a few years later. At present, he actually has enough confidence.

He had already found out the situation in Japan that this country is actually at the junction of a slave society and a centralized society. You say it is a slave society, but its ordinary people are stronger than the simple slaves of a slave society. You say it is a centralized society similar to the Tang Dynasty. Ordinary people have almost no rights, and they are almost the same as the status of the singers in the Tang Dynasty's Jiaofangsi.

The so-called untouchables.

Of course, these two descriptions come from his teacher's description, a centralized society, and his teacher is also called a feudal society. However, because this feudalism seems a bit unpleasant, when Li Shimin wanted similar books, his teacher changed it.

However, these are not important, and the name is not important. However, he has studied the contents of this book called "Selected Works of Huo Gang". Their three brothers, his father and even some ministers have read them. Their comments are very simple. This is a book that requires repeated research and certain experience to be able to study and understand.

It is impossible for ordinary scholars to understand.

There are analysis of the entire social structure, analysis of the subject contradictions of the social structure, analysis of the division of the entire society into different classes, as well as the ideas of these classes, possible reactions, and different characteristics they represent, etc.

The more I read these analyses, and then combined with the big and small things that happened in the previous dynasty and even in history, I can see that this book has already analyzed the entire social structure! Li Tai, who read this book for the first time, was covered in cold sweat, but the more he read it later, the more he felt that although it was not the so-called emperor's mind technique, it was better than emperor's mind technique.

Because after reading these books and reading some things happening in the court, Li Tai felt that he even had a... Well, his teacher called it the perspective of the Emperor of Heaven, which means that he transcends the entire situation and then looks at the same sense of separation as if he was separated from the whole situation.

It was like two people were playing in secret, not knowing each other's secret cards, but a third party had already fully known all the trump cards of the two people as they were confronting each other.

This is the feeling, which is what the teacher said, study the essence thoroughly and then look at the phenomenon.

Similarly, when his father read it for the first time, he was shocked, because this book can even say that the essence of the royal family is revealed, the essence of a country, and it can even predict how some countries perish.

And what if you want a country to last?

If such books were written in the Tang Dynasty, they would definitely be forbidden books. However, in the Han Dynasty, many people have read and spent it, and even many officials have read it and read it.

This is a unique idea, an unprecedented idea.

Similarly, Li Tai had communicated with his father and his two brothers many times, and he had asked his teacher several times. Now that he has come here, he has the confidence to deal with such things.

In his opinion, as long as Japan is given enough food, it can turn its ruling area into a railway. It is not too easy to educate these so-called Japanese people! This book is simply a powerful tool.

Anyway, his father definitely did not dare to let this book be circulated casually throughout the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the Han Dynasty did not circulate casually, but only some senior officials read it.

However, the Han Dynasty is different from the Tang Dynasty. The Han Dynasty currently does not have those noble classes, but the Tang Dynasty has it.

However, after seeing the royal family, the benefits were too great. His father now paid more attention to the affairs of ordinary people than before. Or they had reached a consensus within the Li family that the royal family belongs to the same class as the people.

Well, that's right, Li Shimin thought so. He is of the same class as the people, because the world belongs to his Li family, but the world belongs to all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Then the Li family is of the same class as the people, and there is nothing wrong with it.

What their Li family wants to unite is the people of the Tang Dynasty and find ways to unite the people of the Tang Dynasty. Those merchants are also the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the real attacks are those aristocratic families!

The reason is very simple. These aristocratic families have controlled everything in the Tang Dynasty society to a certain extent, including the so-called upward channels for the lower-class people, and those with power have their own relationships with these people.

Merchants are different. No matter how powerful or rich the merchant family is, they are now living under the legal rules set by Li Shimin. If they dare to break the law, Li Shimin would dare to teach them to be human beings, but these aristocratic families are not good.

Even now, Li Shimin cannot do some of their behaviors just like that.

So this takes time. According to the current situation, Li Shimin only needs to let the people of the Tang Dynasty live another ten years of good life, so that they can live a better life and a better life. At that time, any aristocratic family dares to violate the law, so Li Shimin will not lead the army to take action.

As long as he says something and issues an imperial edict, the people will be able to tear these aristocratic families into pieces.

Li Shimin has now experienced a lot of this, and Li Tai naturally has to implement similar policies here.

The situation in Japan is worse than that in the Tang Dynasty. The largest number of people in the lower class live like beasts, without any dignity. They are almost unable to eat enough and have no clothes to wear. They always wear the most ragged linen clothes and live in the worst houses.

But they obviously planted a large amount of food for the nobles, and they could not eat it at all.

The overall situation in Japan is not even as good as that in the Tang Dynasty during the disaster. As for the current situation, Li Tai naturally had enough ways to deal with these, and the Tang Dynasty did not lack food.

When Li Tai was about to take action, a large amount of grain had already begun to be stockpiled at several ports near the mouth of the Yangtze River. These grains were transported directly from the Han Dynasty and then transferred here. For a country with a population of less than 2 million, the grain stored in the port was enough for the entire Japan to eat for several months.

Even these foods are still being transported continuously.

With sufficient trump cards and absolute strength, Li Tai naturally doesn’t have to cover up anything, but asks him directly if he wants to ask.

"I am willing to help Your Highness solve his problems." Nagawa Hakata took a deep breath before speaking decisively.

"Very good, since you said that, let me ask you, how much idle food is there in Hakata City now?" Li Tai asked with a smile, "How long can the people in Hakata City eat?"

"It's probably enough to eat in the entire Hakata City for two months." Nagawa Hakata gritted his teeth, "If we count the grain of some grain merchants in the city, we can eat it for about three months."

"Well, it's good, it's enough. Now it's summer is coming soon, and the surrounding grain has been sown. How many people rely on fishing or work in Bota City to eat?" Huo Gang asked.

"There are about 30,000 people." Nagawa Hakata gave a rough number, "because this is the largest port in Japan."

"I understand, you go back first. I have remembered what you said. After you go back, my people will cooperate with you in the past few days to maintain the normal operation of the entire city. I will not make any changes to the entire city for the time being, but you have to count some data for me, such as how many workers in the city, people working in the docks, shops, etc., and people who maintain their lives such as fishing."

"Give me a rough number, and count all the nobles in this city." Li Tai said with a smile, "because I may need these people in the city to work for me later."

"I understand, don't worry, your highness, please leave it to me." Hearing this, Hakata Narakawa immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After Nagawa Hakata left, a middle-aged man standing next to Li Tai whispered: "Your Highness, do you believe him?"

"Mr. Leshan, it doesn't matter whether he believes or not, because it's very simple. He has no ability to resist, so what's the point of believing or not? And we are not afraid that he will report our situation to Namba Kyo, that is, their emperor. You know our goal, so he can use it, it's best. As for who he is aimed at, it doesn't matter. After a few months, it's useless for him to oppose me." Li Tai smiled faintly.
