The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 261 Where Do You Live, Old Li
Tang Sufan sneered: "Except for the law, it's much better than other books and poems..."

Li Shimin frowned slowly, this kid would definitely not be aimless, so he said: "How do you say that?"

Looking at the kid's words, what should I read if I don't read poetry, books and classics?Why is it useless?Self-cultivation and morality all depend on reading!

Tang Sufan immediately turned on the mastery mode: "Old Li, let me ask you, you are also literate, and your ability to make money comes from books?"

Li Shimin secretly replaced the ability to make money with the ability to govern the country in his heart, then thought about it, and then shook his head.

Then, Tang Sufan continued.

"Although there are sayings, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book~"

"But if you don't learn, you can't use it. If what you learn can only be used to sing poems, romantic, what's the point?"

"Parents and elders are well-educated and do not know a single word. They can be well-known as good people and filial sons, but if no one talks about it, even if they are full of knowledge, they are just a moth."

"Besides, maybe these people who have studied, but are not well-educated, will harm more people! Among the treacherous officials in history, which one is not familiar with poetry and books? Isn't it right to harm them as much as they want!"

Li Shimin was taken aback after hearing this, as if from the perspective of self-cultivation and morality, this is probably true!
"Lao Li, let's not talk about the exams. Let's look at it from the perspective of common people and businessmen, and then we will know what kind of officials the common people need."

For a while, Li Shimin recognized it, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt the same.

"Let's talk about county magistrates. As the most basic officials of the imperial court, as long as all county magistrates in the world are qualified, Datang will not be able to be strong."

"And as long as there is a problem with the county magistrate, it is a big problem, because the common people have no access to the emperor and high-ranking officials. In their eyes, the county magistrate is the big man who controls their life and death."

Li Shimin nodded accordingly. No matter what he said, he was also a person who traveled all over the world and fought all over the world. He naturally knew what it was like in the local area.

After all, whether it is the implementation of the court's government orders or the payment of taxes, it is all implemented by the lower-level counties. This is the foundation of the country's dynasty!

"So, for a county magistrate, knowing the law is especially important!"

"Second, you must understand agriculture, right?"

"At present, our dynasty is still based on agriculture. A supreme officer in charge of a county, who doesn't understand farming and farming time, is a mud bodhisattva. It's useless!"

"I don't know when to prepare for drought resistance in advance, I don't know when to prepare for breeding in advance, and I don't know how to maintain soil fertility... Just the kind of county magistrate who doesn't farm for three years. What's the use of such a county magistrate?"

"But think about it, most of those high-ranking and wealthy people who are able to read and examine are not able to tell the difference between food and grain. If the people below fool him, he probably won't be able to tell!"

Li Shimin started to frown when he heard this. Indeed, he also knows how many poor families are able to write scriptures these days?

Those children from high-ranking and wealthy families, who grew up with rich clothes and fine food, and their ten fingers did not touch the spring water, really did not work hard in their limbs and did not distinguish between grains and grains.

reasonable!

"Old Li, this third ability is not only needed by the county magistrate, but also needed by all officials in the entire Tang Dynasty, and that is the ability to count..."

"Does the whole Tang Dynasty need it?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and immediately smiled and said: "Su Fan, you must be exaggerating. Although it is indeed important to calculate, it is not necessary for all officials~"

He can understand the previous farming and laws. After all, these are the daily needs of the county magistrate, but when it comes to calculations, how come it is not only needed by the county magistrate, but also by the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty?

Do all officials have to settle accounts?

"Old Li, it is a subject that can truly reflect the essence of things. I told you before. By the way, where did you memorize the nine-nine multiplication table that I taught you?"

Li Shimin was stunned by Tang Sufan's sudden question, and said with a blushing face.

"Ahem, no, I have no time to recite it~"

Then Tang Sufan continued to cross his legs, looked at Li Shimin slightly, his eyes dimmed.

"Hey, Lao Li, Lao Li, tell me about you, what are you busy with all day? I'm busy here and there, and I don't see what kind of guy you are busy with?"

"Hmph, you're being superficial. You have more things to do on a certain day than you, a lazy boy. If you don't help me, what are you talking about!"

Li Shimin directly turned back.

Tang Sufan smiled thoughtfully, and then said in a sharp turn: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, why is it so important to continue with what you said just now?"

If you fight each other, you can't get down to business.

"Such as the two of us, don't we have to keep accounts, and we have to check the money through the accounts every month, every quarter and at the end of the year?"

"A good businessman can see the problems of his own business at a glance from the ledger, and a good official should see the local problems at a glance from the figures."

"E.g…………"

At this time, Cheng Yaojin simply fell asleep.

Lying on Tang Sufan's reclining chair, he actually began to snore slowly.

It caused Li Shimin to walk over and kick him with a grim expression, before he came back and sat down to continue chatting.

After a while, Li Shimin reacted in a daze, and looked at the eloquent young man in front of him.

Didn't expect this kid to be my teacher?

It wasn't until he finished chatting with Tang Sufan that Li Shimin nodded with understanding.

But at the same time, how come the more you look at this kid, the more angry you become?

This is obviously no longer an ordinary pillar of talent, this is the cornerstone of the country, the ability only possessed by the prime minister!
He is simply the best Wang Zuozhi!
The so-called "know the whole leopard at a glance" means that through the figures and descriptions on the report, one can know the specific local problems and propose solutions without leaving home.

An absolute genius of the country!

But this kid is just interested in officialdom, and has no idea about serving the court.

snort!
However, Li Shimin decided to relearn economics and arithmetic when he returned home, even if he had the audacity to ask this kid to teach him.

"You boy, what you said is very reasonable~"

Li Shimin held a teacup, moistened his throat, and started to draft in his heart.

I'm afraid that after going back today, there will be a lot of busy work.

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Tang Sufan pondered slightly: "Old Li, what do you think of Li Er today?"

How about listening to Tang Sufan ask Li Er in front of him?

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, then the corner of his mouth twitched.

How does it feel weird?

However, he still said: "The current sage, it is naturally Wenzhiwugong, with great talents and general plans, work hard!"

"Yo, this little word, it's quite awkward?"

"Ahem, that's how it is!"

This self-praise, no matter how thick-skinned, is a little uncomfortable.

"By the way, Lao Li, where do you live? Tell me quickly?"

Li Shimin frowned, this kid kicked his hammer here and there today, it's really troublesome.

"certain……"

"Don't talk nonsense, are you busy? I don't know how to find my sister when you're not at home in the future? Tell me, I don't even know where you live now? You can't justify it?"

Tang Sufan cut off a sentence directly, and looked at Li Shimin with 'dangerous' eyes.
