"This child pays his respects to the Emperor and Empress!"
Under the lead of Li Chengqian, the group of princes and princesses came to the Legislative Hall to pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress.
Li Shimin was grinning from ear to ear. After exchanging a few pleasantries with his children, he focused his attention on Li Tai. Among the group of princes, Li Tai, who was wearing gold-rimmed spectacles, was particularly conspicuous and elegant.
"Qingque, are you used to wearing these spectacles?" Li Shimin asked with concern.
Li Tai pushed his spectacles up unnaturally and said, "Replying to Imperial Father, I'm still not used to wearing them for the first time. But compared to being able to recover my vision, this is nothing."
He was extremely satisfied with the spectacles that Meton had given him. Not only did it help him recover his vision, it also had a gold-rimmed spectacle. The design was very unique, beautiful and generous.
Li Shimin nodded. He also felt that after Li Tai wore the spectacles, he suddenly had the temperament of a scholar. There was no sense of disharmony.
"How about Changle? How is her vision recovering? "Li Shimin looked at Princess Changle.
Li Tai was the complete opposite. Princess Changle was wearing ugly and large spectacles. Her image as the eldest princess had plummeted. Li Zhi, this naughty child, looked at Princess Changle's unique appearance and covered his mouth to laugh.
Princess Changle glared hatefully at Li Zhi and said helplessly, "Replying to Imperial Father, according to Divine Doctor Hua's prescription, this child wore the spectacles to correct my vision. Coupled with the pressure on my acupuncture points, this child's vision has recovered a lot."
If it was in the past, Changle would definitely not wear such ugly spectacles. But after learning medicine, she naturally knew that she could not hide her illness for fear of treatment. Even if Li Zhi, this troublemaker, repeatedly ridiculed her, she still insisted on wearing the spectacles every day and recorded the changes in her vision.
Just as Meton said, the treatment of ophthalmology was a blank. If Changle could use herself as an example, she would definitely be able to fill this gap in the medical field of the Tang dynasty.
"This is this child's summary of the eye health exercises. Using this method to massage the acupuncture points will definitely greatly reduce the chances of myopia. I hope that Imperial Father can spread this throughout the world so that all students can protect their eyes well." Princess Changle solemnly said as she handed a piece of paper to Li Shimin....
Li Shimin took a look at it and saw that there were pairs of eyes drawn on the paper, clearly marked the acupuncture points, and the method to massage the eyes. He immediately felt happy and said, "Good, this is the best gift that Imperial Father has received this year. Our imperial family also has a female Bianque."
Li Shimin and his children had a small gathering for a while before he let them go to pay their respects to their Imperial Mother. Naturally, Li Chengqian and the others all stayed behind to accompany Empress Zhangsun.
Princess Changle, Princess Jinyang, and Li Zhi surrounded Empress Zhangsun to talk about personal matters. Li Chengqian and Li Tai followed Li Shimin to listen to their Imperial Father's teachings.
"This child has something that I do not understand. Imperial Father, please enlighten me." Li Tai said as he pushed up his spectacles.
"Oh!"
"In the past dynasties, the imperial court has piled up money like a mountain. The copper coins are stored in the treasury, rusty and broken. Since then, the imperial court has shown that the country is rich and the people are strong. Even ordinary rich families like to hoard their money. However, the Mo's Village is different. Meton seems to consciously spend the money he earned and even owe money." Li Tai was puzzled.
Everyone could see from Mo Jiazi's financial statements that if the Mo's Village wanted to save money, not to mention a lot, at least 100,000 strings of coins would be saved. What was more strange was that although the Mo's Village owed 40,000 strings of coins, no one denied that the Mo's Village was rich. This simply overturned their previous view of wealth.
Li Shimin laughed and said, "This is called breaking even …"
If it was before, Li Shimin would naturally not understand these economic principles. When the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued bonds, Meton once sorted out these theories and submitted them to Li Shimin. Li Shimin naturally remembered them clearly.
Li Chengqian was also puzzled and said, "I am also puzzled. Chancellor Kong once taught me that wealth has a fixed amount. If one party has excess, the other party will inevitably lose. However, the Mo's Village has gathered so much wealth, but none of it is for the sake of others."
"Wealth is created, and labor creates wealth. A piece of dirt is originally worthless, but when the people burn it into bricks, this piece of dirt has value. Bricks can be used to build houses, and its value will multiply again. The Mo's Village is not hoarding and profiting, nor is it buying high and selling low. On the contrary, it is constantly using labor to create wealth. However, the Mo's Village is different from others. The speed of creating wealth is really too fast. " Li Shimin unceremoniously took the contents of Meton's memorial as his own. Immediately, he received the admiring eyes of Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
Li Shimin's heart moved. He took out a document from the table and passed it to his two sons. He said, "This is Meton's strategy for governing the Mo's Village. What do you think?"
"Using law to control Mo!"
Li Chengqian and Li Tai both read the document at the same time and said in surprise.
They still remembered Meton's essay in the law examination. When they saw that Meton personally invited the former law professor to the Mo's Village and allowed the Legalists to independently decide the internal affairs of the Mo's Village, they realized that Meton was not just talking about it, but directly putting it into action.
"Meton actually gave up the right to directly control the Mo's Village." Li Tai said in disbelief.
Anyone could see that the Mo's Village was bound to have infinite potential in the future. Whoever controlled the Mo's Village was like holding an endless treasure bowl.
However, Meton directly said that the Mo's Village was not his private property. He unhesitatingly delegated the power to Han Zheng and Li Yi. He also said that he lived in Chang 'an City and would not directly control the Mo's Village. This was simply unimaginable for ordinary people.
"Mo Jiazi deserves to be Mo Jiazi. His breadth of mind is admirable!" Li Tai sighed in admiration. In all fairness, if it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it so cleanly.
"No! The Mo's Village is the hope of the revival of the Mo's Family. Meton will not give up the Mo's Village. "Li Chengqian shook his head and said," In my opinion, Meton just changed a way. "
Li Shimin smiled and encouraged him, "Brilliant, then how do you think Meton will manage the Mo's Village?"
Li Chengqian looked at the document in his hand and thought for a while. Then his eyes lit up and he said, "In the Mo's Village, there are only three people who really control the Mo's Village. One is Li Yi, the other is Dr. Han Zheng, and the third is …"
"No one!" Li Tai was puzzled at once.
Li Chengqian paused and said, "The third is not one person, but a group of people."
"A group of people?" Li Tai was puzzled.
"Yes, the third one is the general meeting of the Mo's Village. According to Meton's setting, as long as half of the people in the general meeting of the Mo's Village oppose, the village head Li Yi can be dismissed. Han Zheng's ruling of the affairs of the Mo's Village must conform to the wishes of the majority of the villagers. It can be seen that the general meeting of the Mo's Village cannot be ignored. In this way, the village head Li Yi, Dr. Han Zheng, and the general meeting of the Mo's Village are the three pillars of the Mo's Village." Li Chengqian suddenly understood.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. Li Chengqian did not let him down.
