After hearing what Li Zheng said, Li Shimin's expression suddenly became stiff.

This kid actually made tea as if nothing had happened.

"Li Zheng!" Li Shimin slapped the table and said, "Did I say so much just for your pertinent praise? Am I that kind of person?"

After taking a sip of tea, Li Zheng said, "Why is Your Majesty saying so much?"

Li Shimin said sternly again.

Li Lizhi sat in the bedroom, listening to the voices outside.

Li Zheng's tone could also be heard. Li Lizhi was anxious but didn't know how to smooth things over.

It should have been a good conversation between a father-in-law and son-in-law, and the father and emperor did not come to Jingyang often.

It's rare to come once, and Li Lizhi also hopes that Li Zheng and his father can get along well.

But the relationship between the father and Li Zheng has always been somewhat inconsistent.

Everyone can be respectful to his father and emperor, but Li Zheng often suffers losses.

But Li Zheng is quite capable. Every time the difficulties encountered by his father can be solved by Li Zheng in a few words.

Even the queen of the mother often said that the father had a very magical skill. Every time he came back to Jingyang, all the problems in the court could be solved easily.

Even the queen of mother was in a much better mood.

Li Lizhi quietly took a look at the situation outside the house, walked out of the bedroom, and walked to Li Zheng to pour tea.

After taking a look at the face of his father again, Li Lizhi walked to her father's side and poured a cup of tea.

Xu Hui received Li Lizhi's eyes and took a group of maids out of the house.

Li Zheng looked at the sunshine outside the house, "If Your Majesty thinks that I have made a lot of money for these five million yuan, then Your Majesty will really underestimate me."

Li Shimin wiped his mouth with cloth and said, "I want to hear it carefully."

"Actually, I always feel that the lives, blood and sweat of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can only be used to protect the Tang Dynasty and the thousands of unarmed people. There is no doubt that protecting the territory of the Tang Dynasty and protecting the people. I always feel uncomfortable with others' lives. As for protecting Tubo, it depends on who the Tubo is surnamed."

Li Shimin frowned and stared at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng continued: "For Your Majesty, I am just using the five million loans to make profits for myself, or I can make profits in the future. If Your Majesty really thinks so, and thinks that there is only so much money in his eyes, it seems that he is paying the wrong payment. It turns out that I am such a person in His Majesty's eyes."

Seeing this boy speaking with sadness and melancholy, Li Shimin really wants to scold you, isn’t Li Zheng like this?

The unhappiness in my heart is just unhappiness.

Li Shimin showed no expression in his expression, "Then tell me, what do you value in your eyes?"

Li Zheng sighed: "There is a saying that says: If there are any, you have to add it to him, so that he can have more than enough."

Li Lizhi stood aside and thought quietly, saying that if there were any, he would add it to him, and he would have more than enough? He didn't think much of this sentence at first, but when he thought about it carefully, it was a bit intriguing.

Li Zheng said again: "There is still the second half of this sentence. He doesn't have anything, and even everything he has to take over."

What he doesn't have, and even what he has, will he take over?

Li Shimin was also thinking about this sentence. He only looked at the first half of the sentence but was a bit intriguing. The second half echoed directly. He didn't, and even he had to take over everything he had.

"Everything he has, he will be added to him, so that he has more than he has, and even what he has not, he will take over."

The second half of this sentence that Li Shimin savored carefully seemed very sharp.

"As long as it is something you don't have, I will take away everything you have." Li Shimin said after pondering for a while.

Li Zheng nodded.

Li Shimin observed Li Zheng's expression and looked at his face with a confident and distressed look. For the first time, he felt that Li Zheng's state seemed different from before.

"Are these words your recent understanding?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's not my experience. This sentence comes from a conclusion. There is a saying called the Matthew effect. This sentence is a sentence in the Matthew effect."

"Matthew effect?" Li Shimin pondered, "Why is it called the Matthew effect? ​​What does it have to do with horses?"

Li Zheng said, "Your Majesty just think it was said by a man named Matthew."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "This is the first time I have heard such words. I have also seen many of the sages' remarks. Anything that the sages say is to govern the country, educate people, and establish virtue."

"This is the first time I have heard such sharp and uncovered words."

Li Zheng poured himself a cup of tea, "I'll tell His Majesty another story."

Li Shimin nodded, "Speak."

Li Zheng held up the teacup and said, "Once upon a time, a king was going to go out for a long journey. Before leaving, he handed over a silver cake to each of the three servants, and ordered, "You go to do business and come to see me again when I come back."

"When the king came back, the first servant said, "Dear King, I have earned 10 silver cakes for you to give me."

So the king rewarded him with 10 cities.

The second servant said, "Dear King, I have earned five of the silver cakes you have given me."

So the king rewarded him with five cities.

The third servant said, "Dear King, I have always wrapped a silver cake you gave me in a handkerchief, for fear of losing it, so I have never taken it out."

So the king ordered a silver cake from the third servant to the first servant."

After hearing this, Li Shimin asked curiously: "Why did this king reward the third servant's money to the first person?"

Li Zheng took another sip of tea and said again, "The king said, "Everything that is small, even what he has, must be taken over. Anything that is too much should be given to him, so that he can be more good."

"This is Matthew's story, reflecting a phenomenon that winners take all."

Li Zheng was still looking at the sunshine outside the house, thinking in his heart whether it was too outrageous to talk to Emperor Li Shimin about the Matthew effect.

After all, this is the conclusion of the postmodern.

Of course, it is impossible to tell Li Shimin another meaning of the Matthew effect, and of course it cannot be said, because today's Tang Dynasty's high and low powers are all based on this effect, which means that the poorer the poorer the richer the richer.

This phenomenon is very common and ironic in the Tang Dynasty today.

Even on a table where a big gamble is often the most likely to win, and the person who can win the most is the dealer.

And retail investors are often those who lose money.

Of course, this theory has not been well solved until later generations.

Because no matter which dynasty or era, this situation has always happened.

Li Shimin seemed to be in deep thought, as if he had figured out something but seemed to be unable to grasp it.
