Chapter 9 Approved and ready to work

When Li Shimin heard that he really asked about leaving the palace in the afternoon, Li Chengqian took advantage of the situation and said what he wanted to say.

"I think the edict that my father said before the New Year, 'All the fifth rank or above is not allowed to enter the market' is up to date. Although it is very necessary to prohibit officials from doing business, it is really impossible to completely ban this thing. Isn't it useless at all!"

This is the modern society that has been unsolvable in more than a thousand years later. If you don’t do business, the rest of your family can do it. That’s not the same? You can only be prevented. If you want to completely ban it, it would be too ideal.

"What do you know? This decree has no effect. It also needs such a decree. It is also a deterrent that can be taken out and liquidated when necessary. If not, a large amount of power and wealth transactions will inevitably be generated, and the economic development of our Tang Dynasty will be restricted. Once officials blatantly do business, it will definitely have an impact on the prosperous market and disrupt the order of the market economy. While power is in charge and doing business, they will almost certainly use power to serve their own interests. Ban is not the purpose, it just adds a constraint to the rightful person, telling them that someone is watching, so that they can restrain themselves. Let ordinary businesses have the opportunity to compete and develop normally." Li Shimin pointed out.

Although the Tang Dynasty generally implemented the policy of "focusing agriculture and suppressing commerce" and looked down on businessmen, it looked down on businessmen. However, the business atmosphere in the previous dynasty has been much relaxed and is no longer all of them are official stores.

"But the child believes that the state ban should be prohibited, and officials have to stop it. Pay attention to and master the methods of ban, and the government agencies with power and responsibility can study and design, supervise, and hold accountable, so as to completely eliminate the intersection of power and money." Li Chengqian said.

"It's not possible now!" Li Shimin said.

Things in the world are always easy to remember but difficult to do. Many things are known to do, but there will always be resistances when they are done. Even if you are the emperor with great power, you cannot do whatever you want. Just like the current nobles and aristocratic families, you can call the emperor's power a ban. How did the Sui Dynasty perish? Is it really a peasant uprising destroyed? Then why was the last warlord regime formed by the powerful?

If the officials who are strictly investigated, including their family members and their families, basically few officials will be spared. They can't be arrested. In that case, the situation that has just stabilized will be turbulent again. Li Chengqian's statement is obviously that he has never been exposed to politics and is too idealistic.

"This matter needs to be done slowly. Now we are going to talk about the issue of your taking the lead in violating the government orders as the prince." After a little talk, Li Shimin shifted the topic to the main topic this time.

"Don't I think the money is not enough to spend, so I just find something to make money." Li Chengqian said the truth.

"What do you need to spend money? Those in the Eastern Palace are not enough?" Changsun frowned. As the lord of the harem, she thought she had never lacked the cost of the Eastern Palace. She couldn't think of it as the prince, everything was allocated from the inner treasury of the palace, and he still needed to spend money on his own.

"There are many places to be needed. The ten thousand guan in the East Palace is not enough, and it will be useless in the blink of an eye." Li Chengqian said naturally.

"Come on, tell me what you plan to cause trouble for the money?" Li Shimin took the conversation and said. He was really curious. Ten thousand coins were really a lot. If you just buy something, you would never spend it.

"I'm doing inventions, such as cleaning problems after changing clothes every time I go to the toilet. Now the toilet is too uncomfortable to use and has no quality of life. The first place I have to spend money is to make things for cleaning after toilets. I decided to start preparing tomorrow." Li Chengqian knew that even if he didn't say it, there was nothing in this palace that could hide from his parents. Instead of asking them to inquire, it would be better to tell it honestly.

Hearing this, Changsun spoke, "This has been happening since ancient times. Is there anything else to replace Chengqian? Do you have to use silk cloth? That's a waste. It's not easy to produce a piece of cloth from scratch."

Changsun also cared about the cleanliness issue. But what she cared more was that her son had been frugal since childhood, and did not know the sufferings of the people, so he accidentally wasted extravagance.

"How can I use cloth? If I throw it away once every time, it would be really luxurious. If I reuse it, it would be too disgusting. But did my mother forget that my child had lived in a dream for more than 30 years? There, ordinary people usually wiped it with paper after going to the cottage." Li Chengqian explained.

"Use paper?" Li Shimin raised his voice and said, "It's a disgrace to be a gentleman!"

"What's the matter? It's very common there. It's just ordinary daily necessities. The child has been using them in his dreams for thirty years." Li Chengqian said as a matter of course.

To be honest, it is inappropriate to bring the thinking of later generations to the Tang Dynasty. It is difficult for people to understand. It is better to have an intuitive impression after the finished product is made.

"That kind of paper is not the rice paper we use to write now. It is a kind of soft toilet paper. It is convenient and quick to use and the cost is much lower. The raw materials are trees, bamboo, branches, grass clippings, etc. It is not a waste at all. It is to make equipment and raw materials in the early stage, plus labor costs, which requires some investment of funds." Li Chengqian explained. He should not let his father think this is a bad thing, so he was forced to stop before it even started.

"It takes so much money to wipe your butt? I think it's better to build some roads for the people." One thing is to say, although the emperor Li Shimin has such and such bad things, he has indeed achieved the level of being both military and political, and he is also very concerned about the people of Pingming.

When Li Chengqian heard that his first step to improve his quality of life was about to fail, he quickly said, "How can it be the same? This thing is made and sold at a cheap time, which can improve the lives of the people and improve the happiness index of the people. We can also make a small amount of money by the way. This money will be used to develop the Tang Dynasty. In other words, this money will be used to the people in the end."

"It's really that way?" Li Shimin said suspiciously. He already knew that his eldest son had a connection with immortality, his thoughts had matured, and he became much smarter than others, so he had to think about what he said.

"Of course, can I still cheat you from my father? And the restaurant I bought today is indeed for making money. Only after making money can we make more things that benefit the people. Then the people will enjoy convenience and live a good life, and naturally they will not follow people with ulterior motives. Then our Li family's country is very stable." Li Chengqian really tried his best to make toilet paper.

He really couldn't stand the stick rubbing around his butt. Every time he used it, he couldn't help but feel nervous. There was really a mental obstacle.

Regarding Li Chengqian's statement, Li Shimin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out, so he could only put it aside. Ask something else first.

"You have learned how to eat and excrete for so many years in your dream? Haven't you learned something useful to the country and the people?" Li Shimin asked.

"Well, there must be some, but the child learned a little bit of a mess. I suddenly couldn't remember which ones were useful and which ones were useless. In other words, it was time to get to the point where things were right. I might even remember them. Now that I'm talking so hard, I'm really a little clueless." There must be things that benefit the country and the people, but just like what Li Chengqian just said, I just don't know where to start.

The most important thing is that Li Chengqian originally didn't know these things, so he didn't know which one he needed without comparison.

"What a pity! Just say that the fate of immortality came to this kid was a waste. If you have such a good opportunity, you only know how to waste time on small things like eating and going to the toilet. If I have this opportunity, I will definitely learn how to govern the country and support the people!" Li Shimin sighed after hearing what Li Chengqian said.

This was not only a lament of his son's good luck, but also a lament of the casualness of immortal fate. However, the matter was over, and no matter how much he sighed, it was useless.

Li Chengqian sighed no matter where his father was. He just wanted to know if he could continue to produce toilet paper as planned: "Then did my father approve the toilet paper business?"

"It's up to you! But don't delay the serious business!" Li Shimin finally let go. He made some things first to see if the world in his dream is reliable.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked in confusion.

"Get up early tomorrow and attend the morning court on time! Go back!" Li Shimin waved. Since Li Chengqian has no real information about governing the country at the moment, he is not interested in the issue after going to the toilet. As for buying a restaurant, it is a trivial matter, and the queen will deal with it later.

"Ah, I really have to go to court! Can you stop going?" Li Chengqian said with a final struggle.

"no!"

"no!"

The first voice was from Li Shimin, and the second voice was from Changsun. On this matter, the two agreed.

"Oh!" What else can Li Chengqian say in this situation? Since he can't resist, just follow it.

It's getting late, so take a shower and go to bed!
