Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

In fact, what Xiao Yu said was not so right. At least in the history that Li Xin knows, there is no clear statement about who the inventor of the abacus is. In other words, most people don't really care about the trivial question of who is the inventor of something. For the simplest example, who is the inventor of the steam engine? There may be many people answering "Watt".

Although the name is indeed well-known because of the steam engine, in fact, his feat is not to "invent" the steam engine, but to "improve" the steam engine. The real inventor of the steam engine should be traced back to the mathematician Silo in the ancient Greek period. Watt actually improved the pumping steam engine into a steam engine that could be widely used in many other fields on the basis of many predecessors, which promoted the rise of the industrial revolution. It is not so much that he is remembered because of the steam engine, it is better to say that he is remembered because he kicked the door of the industrial age.

For another example, everyone in future generations cannot do without a computer, but who knows the name of a computer in the world? It's called Eniac. As for who was its inventor, hehe, to be honest, Li Xin can't remember... I said that most people don't care about this kind of detail... ..

However, even though Xiao Yu was wrong, his attitude towards Li Xin was very clear. Otherwise, he didn't need to explain the origin of the abacus in his hand, let alone say so much praise to Li Xin.

Li Xin, who was still a little nervous, finally settled down and said to the elder in front of him sincerely: "Xiao Gong is absurdly praised."

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "I heard what you said in the court that day, and the old man has a deep understanding. To tell you the truth, the old man has studied historical documents before and found that commerce is often linked to the prosperity of the dynasty. The more the country prospered, the more prosperous the country, The more prosperous business is. The old man is very puzzled about this. If it weren't for your words, it would be hard for the old man to understand the truth."

Li Xin smiled slightly and did not answer. The phenomenon mentioned by Xiao Yu is actually a good explanation: in a peaceful and stable domestic environment, the characteristic of the small-scale peasant economy is that it can accumulate steadily. According to the Marxist view, the number of surplus commodities gradually increases, and the demand for transactions is born. The prosperity of the commodity economy.

To put it simply, in times of war or chaos, the people cannot cultivate well, and the harvested grain cannot even feed themselves, so naturally there will be no other needs. When the world is stable and everyone has land to grow, as long as they don’t encounter natural and man-made disasters, every household will have some surplus food. When the surplus grain is more, people naturally have the capital of exchange. Trade food for cloth and farm tools, these are normal needs and ideas...This is the origin of the commodity economy.

Of course, this is only a superficial explanation, and there are many omissions. After all, Li Xin is an engineering student through and through. Humanities and social sciences are just his hobbies. It's okay to gossiping. If you really want to talk about it in detail, he can only catch the blind. Moreover, these historical materialisms are a bit cumbersome to talk about. Therefore, since Xiao Yuan already has his ideas, Li Xin does not intend to say more.

Xiao Yu continued: "Your Majesty's idea is right. The long-term stability of the world depends on the cooperation of the various ministries of the court, and the household department is also related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Other departments can know nothing about business, but the household department is absolutely not. His Royal Highness can rest assured. You serve as a consultant for the household department, and the old man will definitely support you."

As the saying goes, to shoot a man first to shoot a horse, to capture a thief first to capture a king, although this poem is not so subtly suitable for use here, it is still sufficient to express its meaning. When Li Xin first came to the Ministry of Households, he was worried that someone would cause trouble. Now that the highest official of the Ministry of Households appreciates him and expresses his willingness to support his work, things are going smoothly.

Li Xinyi was overjoyed and quickly said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Xiao."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Chu has learned people, and the old man will be like this."

Li Xin laughed and began to reflect in his heart silently.

He is not the only wise person in the world, and there are not a few people who have feelings. He had a certain prejudice against Manchu civil and military affairs because of some things, which is too superficial. Chaotang is certainly a place full of struggles, but it is also a place where people with dreams, emotions and capabilities chase their ideals. The Lord Xiao in front of him is an example. Although he is a pure Confucian student, his thoughts are not solidified, and his speech and demeanor show his demeanor, which makes Li Jinsheng admire.

To put it bluntly, if Li Xin hadn't stood on the shoulders of so many giants in later generations, he really didn't have the right to talk about "talent learning" in front of such a character. Bah, if he is only a native of the Tang Confucian, if he is only a native of the Tang Confucian, he will be a second fool of the rank of angry youth.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the great Emperor Li Er under the hands of the great Tang Dynasty, there are such a group of sentimental and capable governors like Xiao Yu, that the future of the Tang Dynasty will truly come.

Li Xin always respects such people.
