    "Huh?" The queen's expression paused, and then she looked at Li Chengqian with interest.

    "It's selling toilet water. Aren't I going to have a toilet water party? Are you interested in joining us?" Li Chengqian.

    The queen chuckled and then ignored Li Chengqian.

    "Uh, mother, what does this mean?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.

    The queen wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said to Li Chengqian: "You child, if you want to have fun, go ahead and play by yourself. Now Jingran wants to drag the queen, what a nonsense!"

    Looking at the queen¡¯s disdainful attitude towards business matters, Li Chengqian asked strangely: ¡°Why is this nonsense? This is just to make money. Aren¡¯t you happy to make money?¡±

    "Your father has always advocated putting the people first, how can the queen take the lead in doing business? This is a business that even the nobles don't bother to do, let alone the queen." The queen smiled, "You want to mess around, I will let you  Looking at you, do you think I am supporting the business?"

    Li Chengqian scratched his chin and said, "Mother, why do I feel that something is wrong?"

    "Oh, what's wrong?"

    "Well, look, is my father short of money?" Li Chengqian clapped his fingers and said to her: "The money in our harem is maintained by my father's inner treasury. The country's money and our own  The money is completely separate. So we have no money except the money drawn by the state. And the money drawn by the state is very little, so my father is timid about using money, or even has no money to use. Like the previous times, we still need  Do whatever you want with me, only then can you do your own thing with the country's money!"

    When the queen heard these words, she looked thoughtful.

    Li Chengqian continued: "This is all about money."

    He spread his hands and said, "As an emperor, you can't even spend some money to do something you want to do. This is such a coward!"

    When the queen heard that Li Chengqian was talking loudly, she reached out and patted him on the head.

    Li Chengqian screamed, quickly stopped his emotion, raised his hands, and begged the queen for mercy.

    Seeing that the Queen did not kill again, he continued: "Simple, our family has no money, but you, Queen Mother, don't think about making money, you just live a life without money. Isn't this very contradictory?"

    The queen thought quietly for a while, then raised her head and asked: "You said you have no money and you have to find a way to make money, but how can you make such unkind and unjust money?"

    "When did money become unkind and unjust?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.

    The Queen showed an educational attitude and said: "Businessmen do not engage in production, but also move and sell other people's things to earn the price difference and collect ill-gotten gains for themselves. This is what everyone hates about merchants. More  There are evil people, and business still tempts others to put down their hoes, stop producing, and just sell things. If everyone becomes a businessman, then who will plant the fields in the future? If there is no farming, then the fields in the future will be cultivated.  Don¡¯t you have nothing to eat?¡±

    Li Chengqian thought about it and then counter-educated: "There is a story about money. What is the use of money? Money cannot be used as food, meat, or house to live in. Does that mean that money is useless and meaningless?  Yes? No."

    He picked up a cup on the table and said: "For example, this cup is a piece of money. This piece of money is in the hands of a farmer. He needs a hoe, so he goes to the blacksmith, gives the piece of money to the blacksmith, and asks him to help him make a hoe.  A hoe. The blacksmith needs iron ore to make iron. He goes to the iron ore merchant and buys iron so that he can make a hoe. This has always been in the hands of the iron ore merchant. The iron ore merchant needs someone to help him pick up the iron.  The mines were transported from the mountains, so workers were hired, and the money went into their hands. The workers wanted to buy clothes for their wives at home, so they gave the money they earned to the owners of the clothing stores. The owners of the clothing stores needed to eat.  So I bought rice from the farmers, and the money returned to the people."

    Li Chengqian moved the cup on the table, and then placed the cup in its original position.

    He said: "It's still the same money. This money has returned to the hands of the farmers in large amounts. But in this process, how many results have been achieved? The farmers have obtained hoes, and the blacksmiths have obtained more iron than can be beaten with a hoe. The iron ore  The merchants transported out the useless iron ore stored in the mountains, while the workers bought clothes for their families, the owners of the clothing stores bought rice so that they would not starve to death, and the farmers couldn't finish the food for their own families.  The rice that may have become moldy if left longer will be sold! This is the function of money!"

    The queen blinked and looked at Li Chengqian, thoughtfully.

    Li Chengqian: "Think about it, Queen Mother. This money is like a thread, tying up all kinds of income needs. Farmers have endless rice from farming, blacksmiths can't use the iron they make, and iron ore merchants can't use it.  They can¡¯t use the iron ore they imported, and neither can the owners of ready-made clothing stores. It¡¯s money that makes them redundant.?Things, sell them, and buy them what they need.  If there was no money, wouldn¡¯t the world be in chaos?  "

    He continued: "Queen mother, you are all businessmen, but everyone here does not trade through money. Each of them is a businessman, right? But do you think it is wrong for them to do this?"

    "You are right, but there are still many businessmen doing things that are harmful and unreasonable!" the queen retorted.

    "It's true that businessmen are only interested in profit, otherwise where would they get the motivation to do business?" Li Chengqian said, "But we can't kill everyone with one stick. Those who have gone too far can be released through  The law is there to restrain and punish them, and then to make business more standardized, so that businessmen can do business honestly and make their own money."

    The queen glanced behind Li Chengqian with her phoenix eyes, then quickly looked back and said to Li Chengqian: "It seems reasonable to listen to you like this."

    "It's not that it seems reasonable, but that's how it is. The state should be involved in this business and managed by law, so that it can develop and grow after being regulated. Only when business develops can the country become rich and strong!" Here, Li Chengqian  She looked at the Queen with a somewhat angry look, "Actually, this matter is from your fault, Queen Mother. You will only be full of disgust for those businessmen, and then because of disgust, you will only condemn them morally, and because of disgust, you will also criticize them.  They ignore it, so those businessmen who do harm to others are even more helpless. Anyway, they have done bad things, and there is no law to punish them!"

    "Then you want Yao Xia to go into business, let Yao Xia go into business, and let your mother follow you to sell toilet water?" Old Li's voice sounded from behind Li Chengqian when the country was rich and powerful.
