On the way back to the manager's house, Su Dan buried his head in thought and Li Po didn't bother him.
Regardless of whether Su Daming understood it or not, Li Po knew that the problem faced by Yanmen was actually very simple.
It was not as populous as it was later, and its currency circulation was astronomical, so economic problems were often caused by the mixture of influences from many aspects to form a big question mark.
Nowadays, let alone Yanmen, the population of the merged two prefectures is not larger than the population of a small or medium-sized city later, so the economic problems are not that complicated.
Generally speaking, it should be a certain impact caused by the very single coin shortage problem.
Just like the original reason for the rise in prices was very simple, it was just a result of insufficient food.
Moreover, the impact of the coin shortage has not yet been fully reflected at this time.
In Li Po's opinion, it is not difficult to solve.
There is no doubt about Yu Wenxin's talent. No matter what kind of person he is, he is a very useful guy.
He was sensitive to the shortage of coins, and when he reported it, he said it was justified, which was not easy. He later proposed coining, although it was mixed with the intention of letting Li Po become king as soon as possible, but it was also the most direct and effective solution.
In short, Yu Wenxin, the governor of Yanmen, has been in office for a short time, but he can be said to be very competent in his role.
The dilemma for Li Po is that although many people have vaguely mentioned it, his desire to become king is not strong.
Li Yuan was called the King of the Tang Dynasty only after he entered Chang'an City, and then ascended the throne as the Emperor. He climbed up the steps one by one, and looked very stable.
How can the heaviness be compared to those who occupy a small space and dominate the world?
Therefore, after he occupied Jinyang, if he proclaimed himself king, he felt that it would be hasty, not orthodox enough, not solemn enough, and would not be recognized by people.
This was the main reason why he did not want to take advantage of his military victory to become king.
He wasn't quite sure about the reason behind this, but mostly it was just his feeling.
In fact, it was this feeling that suddenly made his steps become more solid, and also intentionally or unintentionally suppressed the ambitions and desires of all kinds of people.
It forced them to follow his footsteps and slowed down their rapid progress.
The consequences of this cannot be seen now, but they will become apparent in the near future. This is undoubtedly a rare foresight, and it will also allow the military and political groups and political groups that have gradually formed in the two states to merge.
Those anti-kings in the world have opened a wider distance.
But for Su Tan at this time, what he saw was different from what Li Po saw. What he saw was that this was another opportunity that fell from the sky since he went north.
In a few days, well, maybe in the near future, he will give advice that will affect his future.
Just like when his grandfather Su Wei stayed away from Yu Wen and hid in the forest, and was later recommended by Gao Xi, it would have an immeasurable impact on his future.
In fact, just as he thought, he was indeed facing a very important opportunity in his life.
At this time, no one who could control the wealth and wealth of the two states had yet appeared. Wang Qing and Wen Yanbo, the two general managers of the government, respectively controlled grain and grass, salaries, rewards, etc., and were strong contenders for this position.
.
But Wen Yanbo's ambition was not here, Wang Qing's talents were somewhat lacking, and at this time, the taxation of the two states was not much, and they were still entering an early stage of light corvee and low taxation.
In addition, there is still a shortage of talents in the two states, so what Su Tan faces is actually the Duzhi position that his family has hoped to master for generations.
What is an opportunity? This is an opportunity.
Just like when Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin returned to Shandong, they lost a rare opportunity. Later, when Luo Shixin returned to Yunnei, it was at the beginning of the rise of the Heng'an Town Army, so he seized a rare opportunity and quickly established himself in Li
He stood firm under his command.
So, pie in the sky often happens, and the person who might get it in his mouth must have opened his mouth for a long time.
……………………
Back at the General Manager's Mansion, Su Dan bid farewell to Li Po in a state of confusion and went back to his place to stay up late. People who are dedicated to working hard for their future have a tenacity that is not afraid of hard work.
Li Po threw the two bags out and felt much lighter.
Apart from simply asking Xue Wanche to pay attention to Wang's movements, there was nothing more.
When he returned to his residence and saw his mother-in-law, he felt a little guilty. After all, he had gone to a brothel for a walk. Obviously, he had not fully integrated into this era.
But Li Bi welcomed him in and greeted him with such tenderness that Li Po felt a little frightened. Isn't this woman holding back some bad feelings?
Li Chun and Hongyan Zhuer also popped up at the right time.
The two of them were relatively normal. One of them came over with a happy face, regardless of whether the others were there or not, they just wanted to stay by Li Po's side for a while.
One of them pouted and brought a large pot of beef stew to Li Po, and then began to wave it back and forth in front of Li Po. Li Po looked dizzy and suppressed it with a slap.
Sitting on the couch, looking at his family, listening to their conversation, and smelling the aroma of beef stew, Li Po sighed comfortably, it was better to be at home.
After eating some more and drinking a few sips of tea, Li Po patted his belly with satisfaction.
Finally, he started to ask about Li Chun's studies. The expectation of playing with swords and sticks has been fulfilled. He now hopes that this girl will learn some articles.
I don't ask for advice to create a versatile person in both civil and military affairs. I just ask for her to be more thoughtful and not to stab her with a sword all day long.
Li Chun began to express her bitterness. Fortunately, she now knew how to respect teachers and did not describe the new teacher as a devil.
In Li Po's eyes, she was like a student who was tired of studying. No matter how hard she was whipped with the cane, it was natural.
After hearing this, he was quite satisfied. He only told the girl that she was not allowed to bring a sword into the teacher's house in the future.
Well, okay, he was afraid that the girl would be angered, so he killed the teacher with one sword.
"I know that my elder brother is partial, and you don't care about Xiaochun's suffering..." As he spoke, Li Chun covered his eyes and looked like he was about to cry.
But the Taoism was so shallow that the male and female simply turned a blind eye, and the red-eyed child burst into laughter.
Li Chun put down his sleeves helplessly, thinking to himself that he had suffered too much back then, but now he couldn't even shed a tear. Did he really follow the teacher's words, everything in this world must be gained and lost?
She rolled her eyes red, then rolled her eyes and came up with other ideas. It had to be said that she and Li Po looked more and more alike.
He is thick-skinned and has more and more evil ideas.
"Brother, Master Wang is quite talented and learned. Some time ago, Confucius once said, "It's true that when you learn, you practice." Brother, I haven't studied hard in the past two years. How much do you remember what you have learned in these years? Is that what I wrote? Not as good as before?"
Ah, this little girl’s knowledge has really improved, hasn’t she?
Li Po was quite pleased, and then glanced at Li Bi in surprise. On normal days, she would have praised him a few words, or she should have had some trouble with Li Chun, but today it was too quiet.
Just sitting there with a smile on his face, watching the brother and sister talk, it was very different from the past, a little too gentle.
Did he take the wrong medicine? Li Po was a little worried, but he still followed Li Chun's words, nodded and said: "Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Your heart is like a horse running on the plains. It is easy to let go but hard to take back."
"I have had too many things in the past two years, and I have indeed made some progress. My writing is worse than before, but my knowledge may not mean that I have not improved. The ancients wrote books and established theories in order to bring peace to the world. What I am doing now , it will be compiled into a book in the future, and it will be a kind of knowledge. So, you must remember that just reading is not enough, you must also learn to do things and be a person, and apply what is said in the book into practice. That is true reading."
"Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles."
Once these words are spoken, they are no longer just a conversation among family members or a joke. They belong to the category of teaching one's own family members, which is completely different.
After Li Chun listened, she stood up, bowed her head and tied her hands, as if listening. Not to mention, she had not officially entered school for a long time, but she had indeed made a lot of progress.
Li Bi finally spoke out, stroking her hands and smiling.
"How has my husband's knowledge regressed? They say that after three days of separation, people will look upon each other with admiration. My husband has only been away for one day, and already people are afraid to recognize each other. The place where the brothel is located can really inspire people's thoughts, isn't it?"
She began to shake her head, "Tsk tsk, learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Your heart is like a horse running on the plains. It is easy to let go but hard to take back. Such a beautiful sentence... My husband is really different from the past."
It's normal now. Li Po felt relieved. You tigress is pretending to be a little sheep. It's scary to look at.
Hong Yanzhu'er didn't quite understand what he heard, but he clapped his hands over there.
Li Po laughed and cupped his hands, "Miscellaneous praise."
Li Bi rolled her eyelids, and the happiness that filled her body had completely surrounded her. Now let alone fight with Li Po, she was unwilling to say even harsh words.
For her, everything must be put behind now, and the heirs are the most important thing. Even if Li Pozhen brought a brothel girl tonight, she would probably be able to tolerate it with a smile.
Li Chun sat down again happily, but he was thinking in his heart, you really went to those dirty places, humph, you will definitely go to those dirty places with red eyes in a few days and smash them up.
He was cruel in his heart, but he was complimenting, "What the eldest brother teaches is... Master Wang also said that what he teaches is the science of governing the world, but Xiaochun is just a girl, and he doesn't want to talk to Xiaochun. If this continues, how can he What real skills did you learn?”
"Xiaochun thinks, it's better to invite Master Wang to join the government. He doesn't want to teach Xiaochun, but he can't refuse to teach the elder brother, right? As long as the elder brother spares some time to listen, not to mention learning, he can also learn to write. , Xiaochun can also benefit from big brother and learn some real knowledge, right?"
