Tang Sufan sneered: "Except for the law, there are many things that are better than those poetry books and classics..."
Li Shimin lowered his brows. This kid would definitely not be wrong, so he said, "How do you say this?"
If you look at the kid, what should you read if you don’t read poetry, books and classics? Why is it useless? Self-cultivation and morality all depend on reading!
Tang Sufan immediately started the leverage mode: "Old Li, let me ask you, you are also literate. Did your ability to make money come from books?"
Li Shimin secretly replaced his ability to make money with his ability to govern the country, then thought about it and shook his head.
Then, Tang Sufan continued.
"Although there are words, the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade~"
"But if you don't learn something, you can't put it to use. If what you learn can only be used to sing poems and chants, what's the use of it?"
"If your parents and elders educate you well, but you don't know a word, you can be a good person and a filial son who is famous far and wide. But if there is no one to guide you, even if you are full of knowledge, you are just a worm."
"Moreover, maybe these people who have read books but are not well educated will harm more people! Which of those traitorous ministers in history is not familiar with poetry and books? Why not harm them as much as they want!"
Li Shimin was stunned after hearing this, as if from a moral perspective, this was probably true!
"Old Li, let's not talk about what to take the exam for now. Let's look at it from the perspective of common people and businessmen, and we will know what kind of officials the common people need."
For a moment, Li Shimin recognized it, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood.
"Let's talk about county magistrates. As the most basic officials of the imperial court, as long as all the county magistrates in the world are qualified, the Tang Dynasty will not be strong or powerful."
"As long as there is a problem with the county magistrate, it will be a big problem, because the people have no access to the emperor and senior officials. In their eyes, the county magistrate is the big shot who controls their life and death."
Li Shimin nodded. After all, he was a man who traveled all over the world and conquered the world. He naturally knew what he was like in the local area.
After all, whether it is the implementation of the court's decrees or the payment of taxes, they all rely on the lower-level counties to implement them. This is the foundation of the dynasty!
"So, for a county magistrate, it is especially important to understand the law!"
"Second, you know a lot about agriculture, right?"
"Now our government is still based on agriculture. The highest official in charge of a county, if he doesn't understand farming and the farming season, he is just a clay Buddha. He is useless!"
“I don’t know when to prepare for drought relief, I don’t know when to prepare for breeding, and I don’t know how to maintain soil fertility... What’s the use of a county magistrate who doesn’t go to the fields for three years?”
"But think about it, most of those who are able to read and examine in high-ranking families are not diligent in their limbs and cannot distinguish between grains and grains. If the people below are trying to fool them, they probably won't be able to tell!"
Li Shimin began to frown when he heard this. Indeed, he also knew how many poor families could write books these days?
Those children from high-ranking families, who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and never touched the spring water with their fingers, are really just indifferent to the grains and grains.
reasonable!
"Old Li, this third ability is not only needed by county magistrates, but also by all officials in the entire Tang Dynasty. That is the ability to count..."
"Does the entire Tang Dynasty need it?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said: "Su Fan, you must be exaggerating. Although economic calculation is indeed important, it is not necessary for all officials~"
He could understand the previous farming tasks and laws. After all, these were needed for the daily work of the county magistrate. But when it came to arithmetic, why did it become necessary not only for the county magistrate, but also for the entire Tang Dynasty officials?
Do all officials have to settle accounts?
"Old Li, it is a subject that can most truly reflect the essence of things. I told you before. By the way, where did you memorize the multiplication table that I taught you?"
Li Shimin was stunned by Tang Sufan's sudden question and said with a blush.
"Ahem, no, I don't have time, it's too late to memorize it~"
Then Tang Sufan continued to cross his legs and looked at Li Shimin slightly with a faint look in his eyes.
"Hey, Lao Li, Lao Li, tell me, what are you busy with all day? You are busy here and there, and I don't see what kind of guy you are doing when you are busy?"
"Hmph, you are so shallow. You will naturally have more things to do on a given day than a lazy boy like you. You don't help me, so what are you talking about?"
Li Shimin responded directly.
Tang Sufan smiled solemnly, and then said sharply: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, why is the calculation you just said so important?"
If we fight against each other, we can't get down to business.
"For example, we both have to keep accounts and 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 numbers."
"For example…………"
At this time, Cheng Yaojin simply fell asleep.
Lying on Tang Sufan's armchair, he snored slowly.
This provoked Li Shimin to walk over and kick him without a good expression, before he came back and sat down to continue chatting.
After a moment, Li Shimin came to his senses and looked at the talkative young man in front of him.
I didn’t expect this kid to become my teacher?
It wasn't until he finished chatting with Tang Sufan that Li Shimin nodded with understanding.
But at the same time, why do I get angrier and angrier the more I look at this kid?
This is obviously no longer an ordinary pillar of talent, this is the ability only possessed by the cornerstone of the country and the prime minister!
He is simply the most outstanding Wang Zuo talent!
The so-called "seeing the whole thing at a glance" means that through the numbers and descriptions in the report, you can know the specific local problems and propose solutions without leaving home.
Absolutely a great talent in the country!
But this kid just didn't have the slightest idea about officialdom or serving the imperial court.
snort!
However, Li Shimin decided to re-learn economics and calculations when he returned home, even if he was too shameless to ask this kid to teach him.
"You kid, what you said makes sense~"
Li Shimin was holding the tea cup and moistening his throat while thinking in his mind.
I'm afraid I'll be very busy after I go back today.
Listening to Li Shimin's words, Tang Sufan pondered slightly: "Old Li, what do you think of Li Er today?"
Listening to Tang Sufan ask Li Er in front of him, what do you think?
Li Shimin was stunned at first, and then his mouth twitched.
Why do you feel so weird?
But he still said: "Today's Holy Emperor, of course, is a civil servant and a martial artist. He has great talent and great strategy, and works hard to govern!"
"Hey, this little word is so smooth, isn't it?"
"Ahem, that's how it is!"
This is a compliment to myself, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, Lao Li, where do you live? Tell me quickly?"
Li Shimin raised his brows, this kid was really troublesome today with his hammer and kick here and there.
"certain……"
"Don't talk nonsense. Are you busy? I don't know how to look for my sister when you are not at home in the future? Tell me, I don't even know where you live now? You can't explain this, can you?"
Tang Sufan cut off his words and looked at Li Shimin with a dangerous look.
