Chapter 78
Seeing Zhang Jianshan's reluctance, Su Lian pretended to be pitiful and said, "Does Brother Jianshan want Lian'er to sleep on the ground?"

Zhang Jianshan glanced at her, stuffed her with the pillow, and fell asleep by himself.

Su Lian looked at the pillow in her hand - what does this mean?He's playing charades with her?
He turned his back to her and fell asleep, ignoring her intentions, Su Lian said pitifully: "Then, Lian'er has to sleep on the floor."

He didn't respond at all.

Su Lian gritted her teeth, took out a lot of mattresses and quilts from the cabinet, and spread them on the floor to sleep.

She thought he would feel pity and cherish jade to some extent, but he didn't at all.Forget it, as long as he thinks badly about himself, that's fine.

Su Lian lay on the ground for a quarter of an hour, only feeling cold.Although it's February now, it's still winter in the mountains.The ground is covered with green bricks, which are new, and damp, not warm at all.

Look at the bed again, there is a fire under it, it must be warm at this time.The more Su Lian slept, the colder she became, thinking that if she really slept like this all night, she would definitely develop pneumonia the next day.But it would be too embarrassing to go back at this time.

Su Lian lay down for a while, feeling that she was about to become a snowman.In my heart, I began to find a way out for myself: Hey.Why did she bother to be so angry with Zhang Zhang? He had been in the same room for so long, but he didn't do anything to her.

Trembling, she got up, went to the bed and pushed Zhang Jianshan, and said angrily, "Let me go, I'll sleep in it."

Zhang Jianshan turned his head, glanced at her, and said lazily: "Isn't Lianer going to be alone?"

Su Lian glared at him, and said, "Naturally, you have to be alone!"

She carried her quilt onto the bed, and pulled down the silk rope that tied the bed curtain, and tied two of them into one long one.One end is tied to the head of the bed, and the other end is tied to the end of the bed, separating the inside and outside of the bed from the Chu River to the Han boundary.She found the ring pendant for decorating the bed curtain, hung it on a silk rope, and said to Zhang Jianshan, "You have half, and I have half. If this pendant is touched, I will..."

Zhang Jianshan watched the little lady's operation as fierce as a tiger, and was stunned to laugh angrily: "So what?"

Su Lian glared at him.Anyway, if he dares to mess around, she will call for help.

She ignored him, got into the quilt, and fell asleep on the inside, only pointing the back of her head at him.

Zhang Jianshan also lay down, he looked at the back of the little lady's head, and sighed inwardly.

As soon as Su Lian was next to the warm bed, she shivered with happiness—it was better to be on the bed.so warm.

She wanted to sleep, but for some reason, she couldn't sleep.Only then did I remember that she always copied until midnight on weekdays, but now that she stopped copying, it was too early for her to go to bed.

And he only slept on this side of his body, and he became numb after sleeping for a long time. He wanted to turn over, but he didn't want to face Zhang Jianshan, so he could only lie stiff.

Zhang Jianshan knew that the little lady was not asleep, so naturally he couldn't sleep either.

The smelly girl is puzzled, how could she treat her husband like this.

Didn't she praise him for his good looks that day, why didn't she look at him now?
He was sulking for a while, and then he calmed down.She is already his wife, the meat is in the pot, what's the hurry.

Remembering that there were some things I wanted to ask her on weekdays, but I never had a chance, so I asked the darkness: "Lian'er, are you asleep?"

She said nothing.

Zhang Jianshan pushed her: "Don't pretend to be asleep, you don't know what kind of virtue you fall asleep on weekdays, do you?"

What is he implying? !Su Lian was furious, turned over quickly, stared at him and said, "I'm about to fall asleep, why are you waking me up again?!"

When he turned around, he froze.He was wearing a new underwear, his hair was half loose, and he was propping it up with one hand, looking down at her with a smile, and there was a faint fragrance from the clothes.

What is this fellow smiling so beautifully in the middle of the night?Su Lian coughed twice.

He caught the slight reaction of the lady, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

In her eyes, he probably only has one good looks, right?Unexpectedly, he would have to rely on beauty one day.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Su Lian asked with a good temper.

Zhang Jianshan said: "There is something I've always wanted to ask Lian'er."

"what's up?"

"Didn't Lian'er write the account book silently before, did he remember everything with his photographic memory, or was it only the account book?" Zhang Jianshan asked.

Su Lian smiled, it turned out to be this matter.

"Only with numbers. Memorize the words and sentences in books. Although the memory is better than ordinary people, it is far from the ability to remember."

Zhang Jianshan thought to himself, but this complemented him.He has a photographic memory for characters and words in books, but numbers are hard to remember.This point may come in handy in the future.

"So Lianer likes to settle accounts since she was a child?"

"Well. Because I can't forget the numbers, I learned abacus when I was a child. The more I am good at something, the more proud I am. The more proud I am, the more interested I am."

When she was a child, she started with abacus calculation, and became fascinated by accounting, which was regarded as boring by others. Later, she studied business, and gradually, she learned almost everything in economics as she advanced her studies.

Usually, when you talk to her about other things, she always dismisses them in just a few sentences. If you ask more deeply, don't say that she has amnesia, but she can only talk about the economy.

He remembered that his father said that the economy is the foundation of the world.Since Gaozu, the Zhang family has been secretly co-existing with the Song family in Yangzhou.Even if the Zhang family is destroyed, the wealth managed by the Song family will not be damaged in the slightest.

Over the years, the imperial court has been afraid of the Jizhou Army and deducted food and salaries from time to time.Faced with frequent harassment from Beidi, the Jizhou army has strong enemies outside and the imperial court inside, and its strength has been greatly weakened compared with that of his father's generation.If it weren't for relying on the Song family's secret support, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to support himself now.

"In Lian'er's opinion, is there anything in common between managing a family's wealth and managing a country's wealth?" Zhang Jianshan asked calmly.

"Not only do they have something in common? It's almost the same thing." Su Lian smiled.

"Oh? Really?" He smiled lightly and encouraged her to continue.

"The purpose of governing the country is to hope that the country will be rich and strong. Only when you get rich first can you become strong, and a poor country will never become strong. War needs food, grass and soldiers. Which one is not supported by the economy? So the economy is the national strength. There is another one, Tai Shigong It is said that to get rich from poverty, agriculture is not as good as industry, and industry is not as good as business. Ordinary people rely on industry and business to get rich quickly, and the country is the same. Now the imperial court emphasizes agriculture, light industry, and suppresses business. If things go on like this, it will definitely damage the foundation of the country. It seems that if there is only food and grass in war and no iron, what will the soldiers use to fight against the enemy? If you want to thrive in industry, you must thrive in commerce. Because industry requires a lot of money to start, and only merchants have such strength.”

Zhang Jianshan was originally lying on his back, but he gradually sat up straight as he listened.Seeing him like this, Su Lian also sat up.

"Dong Zhongshu said that if merchants gather profits quickly, they will annex farmers' land and make farmers displaced. If there is no farmland in the world and farmers have no place to stand, it will shake the foundation of the imperial court."

Su Lian was slightly taken aback: "See Brother Shan has read Dong Zhongshu's article?"

Zhang Jianshan said with a smile: "Yuan Ri mentioned it when he listened to Mr. Li Zheng's lecture in the ancestral hall."

Su Lian said: "The annexation of land will indeed shake the foundation of the imperial court, but this is also because the profit from farming is much slower than doing business. The process of annexation by tyrants can only be slowed down, and it is difficult to stop."

Zhang Jianshan asked again: "Lian'er thinks, what should the imperial court do?"

Su Lian felt a little strange, why did he ask such a far-reaching and profound matter today.However, she couldn't sleep anyway, so she simply talked with him, from emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business to the imperial tax system, from treasury management to the strategy of rejuvenating the army, all the way to the middle of the night.

After talking about it, she could barely keep her eyelids open, and her husband still looked like he didn't want to sleep.

Su Lian yawned and said, "I have to get up and cook tomorrow morning! My mother is here, so I'm definitely not allowed to sleep in. I'll go to bed first."

After speaking, he fell down and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Zhang Jianshan didn't feel sleepy at all.

Listening to your words tonight is better than reading ten years of books.

From Yangzhou to Jizhou, there are huge stalls, too big to drag.

After listening to the lady's words, it seems that some eyebrows have been clarified.A strong army first enriches the country, a rich country first enriches the people, and a strong country can only be rich.

Zhang Jianshan looked at the little lady's peaceful sleeping face.If she hadn't been unable to hold on, he really wanted to talk to her by candlelight until dawn.

The chaotic clouds want to spend the snow on their cheeks.He reached out to brush her messy hair from the sideburns.

You don't know, you look pretty good - this sentence should be returned to her.

Zhang Jianshan smiled lightly, sitting on a beautiful woman tonight but talking about economics.

Fortunately, beauty is what he loves, and economics is also what he loves.
