The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2138 Li Er's Comprehension

Another day later, Li Shimin still did not return to the palace.

At this time, Empress Changsun asked the eunuchs beside her.

"Where is His Majesty now?"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is still in the library and has not returned."

The eunuch said so.

Empress Changsun was very puzzled.

Because this has never happened before, Li Shimin will not always be outside.

This puzzled her a lot.

"What is His Majesty doing in the library?"

Empress Changsun asked so.

"I heard that it is to learn some knowledge. His Majesty sometimes forgets to eat in the library, and discusses with the administrators in the library from time to time."

The eunuch said again.

Empress Changsun murmured, "Is that so?"

"His Royal Highness, do you need me to talk to Your Majesty?"

"No, I'll go over and have a look."

Empress Changsun said immediately.

If you disturb Li Shimin in the past at this time, you may be scolded by Li Shimin.

So she might as well go to the library.Maybe you can know what Li Shimin is studying in the library.

Therefore, Empress Changsun set off immediately.

She is going to the Datang Library.She went out more low-key this time.Did not attract too many people's attention.Even Empress Changsun chose the subway to travel.

The distance between the library and Taiji Palace is only about five kilometers.For such a small distance, it takes at most 10 minutes to take the subway.

If you drive by yourself, it's about the same.

But she wants to keep things simple.

So get on the subway.

She also has several guards.

After getting on the subway and going to the library.Empress Changsun found that there were quite a lot of people on the subway today.

Maybe every day is like this.

The more people there are, the more it proves that Chang'an's economy is developing well.

Unemployment is extremely low.

So, it's bustling performance.

If it is a depression, people are reluctant to go out.

But when everyone waited on the subway.

No one was surprised by the arrival of Empress Changsun.Perhaps everyone has already regarded Empress Changsun as just an ordinary person.After all, in everyone's subconscious mind, they think that the queen will not appear on the subway.Even if someone probably recognizes the appearance of Empress Changsun, they dare not go forward to recognize her.

It would be embarrassing if you were wrong.And it's very busy with people coming and going.Nobody paid much attention to them either.

Not to mention guessing whether they are from the palace.

After Empress Changsun and the others boarded the subway, the subway opened for three stops.

Finally arrived at the library station.

The intersection of the library station and the exit of the subway are actually connected.

You can see it clearly under the subway.

So the group waited out of the subway station and took the elevator to the library.

After getting off the elevator, I saw the first floor of the library.

Empress Changsun knew in advance that Li Shimin's floor was on the seventh floor.After she entered the library, she saw a huge library interior.The library at this time is many times larger than the previous library.And the collection of books here is quite rich.There are also a lot of people who come to the library to read.

The arrival of Empress Changsun did not cause much sensation, because everyone did not know her.She also likes this kind of thing, so she waited up the stairs with you and climbed up to the seventh floor.

Li Shimin's position is easy to debate.Because there are very few people in one place, and the other places are full of people.Some people even took out their mobile phones to shoot at Li Shimin.After all, the appearance of the emperor is rarely seen among the people, but now in the library, everyone can take pictures of the emperor's every move at will.

Li Shimin also generously allowed everyone to shoot together.What he brings to people is positive energy.This has helped his reputation to a certain extent.

At this moment, Empress Changsun appeared.Many guards saw Empress Changsun and immediately saluted Empress.

Look at them like this.

The people on the entire seventh floor were shocked.They clamored and saw Empress Changsun one after another.At the same time, I was still very excited.Empress Changsun also nodded politely to everyone.

Everyone followed suit.

Empress Changsun also let everyone take pictures.

She went straight to where Li Shimin was.And found a place to sit down.And Li Shimin was still reading the book, and didn't realize the appearance of Empress Changsun.

At this time, Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, you have been in the library for almost three days."

Only then did Li Shimin raise his head.Looking at Empress Changsun, she was a little shocked.

"Queen, how did you come here?"

Obviously, he didn't know that Empress Changsun would come.

He probably didn't know how many days he hadn't come home.

Because the books here are fantastic.

And let him refuse to go back.

The purpose is to learn a lot of knowledge here.

"I have been unable to find His Majesty in the palace. I asked the eunuchs, and I realized that His Majesty is studying in the library. So I wanted to come and have a look. See what's going on, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be here. study."

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

Follow him and say: "Yes, queen! When I was governing the country recently, I found that I was a little powerless. The knowledge I had learned before and the experience of my ancestors were not enough to support the continued management of the economy of the Tang Dynasty. So I came here to learn economics-related knowledge, and I have gained a lot in the past few days."

Li Shimin was very happy when he said this.

Because this time it paid off.

Empress Changsun was a little puzzled.

"I don't know, what did His Majesty gain?"

Empress Changsun followed Li Shimin's words and asked.

"There are many gains! Especially in trade. If the trade is done well, Datang's economy will take off again."

Li Shimin said a key idea.

"Isn't trade what Shengtang Group has been doing?" Empress Changsun said instead.

"Yeah, now I finally know why the Shengtang Group did that. It turns out that they have long thought about how to use trade to improve the economy. That's why they created these books. Now I have only read these books less than ten thousand times. There are still a lot of books waiting for me to read. Come, come, queen, sit by the side and let me read the books again!"

Li Shimin obviously hasn't given up yet, and he will continue to read books here.

But Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, if you don't go back to Datang, the papers will pile up like a mountain again."

"There are six people here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Li Shimin said so.

Yes, there are six parts, so what is he afraid of.

But can Liubu help him too much?
Obviously not.

He still has to do some important things by himself.

"His Majesty!"

"Come on, queen, let me tell you about the changes that trade has brought to economic growth. I always feel uncomfortable if I don't say this!"

"Also, you can verify the knowledge I have learned in the past few days, and you can also listen to it, and see if I am right."

Li Shimin said again.

What can Empress Changsun say?

Since he wants to say it, let's say it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you said!"

Empress Changsun didn't know what Li Shimin wanted to say.

"First of all, trade can promote huge economic growth! Because trade can bring about a larger market and a wider allocation of resources, thereby promoting economic growth. Through trade, Datang's products can reach more consumers and expand sales market, increased production scale, and promoted economic efficiency and technological development."

"There are quite a few countries trading with our Tang Dynasty now, and Nanzhou seems to be trading more and more recently." Empress Changsun said again.

This involves Li Chengqian again.

Now that Li Shimin talked about trade, Empress Changsun would naturally mention Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin was a little unhappy.

But he still said: "Yes, it is not small, but it is all agricultural products, but because of the blessing of agricultural products, it has relieved a lot of pressure for the people of Datang."

The last time Li Yin came to help Li Shimin with disaster relief, and during the disaster relief process, Nanzhou also provided a lot of help to Datang.

"Yes, what His Majesty said is very true."

"Next, I will talk about another benefit."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"Through these few days of study, I know that there are other benefits brought by trade, such as it can provide a variety of product choices: trade enables goods and services to cross borders, providing consumers with rich and diverse choices. Imported goods and services can satisfy needs that cannot be supplied by the internal market and help to improve the living standards of consumers.

It can also improve people's living standards.

Because of trade, it can reduce commodity prices and expand consumer purchasing power.

When the domestic market is opened to the outside world, competition intensifies, so that businesses will continue to increase productivity and reduce costs in order to retain customers, thereby reducing product prices.This means that the same income can buy more goods and services, improving people's living standards. "

"Your Majesty, this has been happening all the time, but we don't have anyone to study it." Empress Changsun said again.

"Yeah, if I haven't read the book here, maybe I never knew."

Li Shimin said again.

"Yes, Your Majesty's library has gained so much."

"Because of the trade relationship, Datang can promote resource allocation and specialization within Datang.

In this way, optimal allocation of resources can be realized, and countries can carry out specialized production according to their own resource endowment and comparative advantages, form the best allocation in the world, and improve the efficiency of resource utilization.Through the division of labor among countries, each country can concentrate on producing and exporting competitive products, further promoting economic development. "

Empress Changsun never thought that Li Shimin's comprehension was so deep.

She also never thought that a trade would have so many benefits.

So, she said: "If that's the case, you have to deepen your cooperation with other countries."

"On this point, I am also thinking that we can let some countries allocate some things and let them specialize in some things, and our Datang will become the center of the world. As long as Datang has money, he can buy everything in the world, and We can also export a number of technological products, which must be liked by everyone."

"Yes, so trade should strengthen the relationship between countries?"

"Yes, trade can strengthen cooperation and friendly relations. According to what I have seen in the past few days, it can promote cooperation and exchanges between countries, deepen mutual ties and dependence, and help maintain and develop international friendship. Relationship. Through trade cooperation, under the leadership of Datang, we can jointly deal with common challenges and promote the stability and prosperity of the world.

All in all, trade has a positive impact on promoting economic growth, improving people's living standards, and promoting the optimal allocation of resources. "

"So, what will His Majesty do next?"

"Next, it is natural for everyone to learn this knowledge. When the time comes, I will let everyone learn together, and then let everyone think about what to do next!"

"Your Majesty this..."

"It is not up to me to govern the Tang Dynasty alone. Besides trade, there are many methods introduced here."

"for example?"

"If the gross domestic product is mentioned here, the higher the value, the better the economy. If there is a big improvement this year compared to previous years, it means that the development is rapid. If it is the other way around, it will be stagnant, which is dangerous! Yes, all walks of life have to make statistics, and if they retreat, they have to find out the reasons.”

Li Shimin said again.

Then, Li Shimin said: "There is also an explanation for the reduction of the labor market. Simply put, it is whether indicators such as the employment rate, unemployment rate, and labor force participation rate are normal."

"More than that, there is also the relationship between investment and savings. Encourage investment as much as possible. That is the possibility of economic development."

"There is also scientific and technological innovation, which is one of the important driving forces of economic development. By improving the level of science and technology, promoting research and development and innovation, countries or regions can improve productivity, enhance competitiveness, and achieve sustainable development."

Li Shimin said.

Empress Changsun said: "On this point, Shengtang Group will do a good job."

"Indeed, but our imperial court also needs to intervene in it, and we can't let his family dominate. In this case, we are too passive."

Li Shimin realized something was wrong again.

So, he's investing in technology again.

this is correct.

And now that he has money, he can invest it.

But there may not be enough talent.

But having said that, there are many people who cannot join Shengtang Group, and Li Shimin can absorb them.

"Your Majesty, your vision has improved a lot!" Empress Changsun praised.

"Our Tang Dynasty has such a good place, why haven't I paid attention to it all the time!"

"It doesn't seem too late to pay attention now." Empress Changsun said.

This is indeed the case, and it is not too late now, but it is also because Datang has experienced explosive growth that Li Shimin feels weak.

"Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong, but I have to stay here for a few more days to study hard. If there is anything in the palace, you can help me handle it, Queen." In the end Li Shimin actually asked so.

Empress Changsun was shocked.

"Your Majesty, is this really all right?"

She was a little unbelievable.

That's not something she can do.

"Why can't it work? You have been with me for many years." Li Shimin said instead.

"It's been a long time. But..."

"Some of your opinions are very good, so for a while, you will help manage the country, and after I finish my studies, I will carry out some reforms."

Li Shimin finally said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun had no choice but to agree.

"That's all right, I still have to study, you go back first."

Li Shimin finally asked Empress Changsun to go back.

"Yes! Your Majesty"
