On this day, Li Shimin suddenly asked Dai Zhou to enter the palace again.
Dai Zhou was puzzled by Li Shimin's behavior.
Until Li Shimin said: "Dai Zhou."
As soon as Dai Zhou heard what Li Shimin said, he knew that there must be something very important.
So, he stepped forward: "Your Majesty! Please speak!"
At this time Li Shimin said: "Dai Zhou, I have made some discoveries!"
"Your Majesty, what did you find?"
"I found that the recent economic governance issues have made me a little tired. Now Datang is updating every moment, and there are no lessons learned from the economic problems encountered by the Tang Dynasty. So I let you enter the palace and I need to ask you about the economy.
some problems."
What Li Shimin said actually had his reasons.
Why do you say that? Because of the intervention of Shengtang Group, Datang's economy has been experiencing a qualitative leap.
If we use the experience of our ancestors to manage.
The economy of the entire Tang Dynasty was probably poorly managed.
That's why Li Shimin wanted Dai Zhou to come over and discuss together how the Tang Dynasty's economy should develop next?
Regarding this issue, Dai Zhou put forward his opinion.
"Your Majesty, I saw a book about economics when I passed by the library a few days ago. It was very good. Maybe Your Majesty can take a look at the content written in it!"
Regarding Dai Zhou's question, Li Shimin said directly: "What kind of book is it? Can you give a general introduction?"
He didn't read all books. Li Shi had also read some economic books before, but it was already a long time ago.
Recently, new books have appeared in the Shengtang Group's library, but he has never seen them.
Dai Zhou immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty! That book divided economics into seven types."
"What kind of existence are the seven economics?"
Obviously Li Shimin also knows little about economics.
The economy he knows is the accumulation and consumption of wealth.
His understanding is too narrow. If he wants to manage the economy of the Tang Dynasty well, he must have a very deep understanding of the economy.
But for now, Li Shimin seems to have not reached this level.
So he eagerly wanted to know which seven kinds of economics they were.
Dai Zhou just said this.
"First of all, the first type of books sublimates economics. They call this economics macroeconomics."
When Li Shimin heard this, he thought, good guy, Li Min is really good at talking nonsense.
But how did he know that these books were not ripped out, but future knowledge.
The knowledge of the future is all in the library, but Li Shimin has rarely gone there in recent years.
His knowledge has never been able to keep up.
So, when Dai Zhou mentioned this, he didn't understand it at all.
Therefore, he asked: "What kind of macroeconomics does it exist?"
"According to their book, macroeconomics is the study of the operating mechanism of the overall economic system, the relationship between macroeconomic variables, and the formulation and implementation of macroeconomic policies."
Li Shimin felt that Dai Zhou's words were too false. He wanted to know if there was a deeper explanation.
So, he asked again: "For example? Are there any examples or something like that? Is there any specific explanation?"
Yes, how can anyone believe it just by listening to the words above without examples?
Dai Zhou immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, they gave many examples. For example, the overall size of the national economy, economic growth, inflation, unemployment rate and other issues."
“What does inflation mean?”
Li Shimin asked again.
Dai Zhou immediately explained: "Inflation means that if the price level of Datang's economy continues to rise, that is inflation!
Generally, inflation is caused by excessive expansion of the money supply, or by demand exceeding supply.
When inflation occurs, the number of goods and services that money can buy decreases, causing prices to rise.
Like wealth redistribution, it can reduce the purchasing power of people on fixed incomes because their incomes cannot keep up with rising prices. On the contrary, for those who own assets or investments, inflation may increase their wealth.
"
Dai Zhou explained it very clearly, but Li Shimin still seemed to have only a half-understanding.
In the end, he didn't go into details.
Instead, he asked: “What about the second option?”
"The second type, they call it microeconomics, is the study of the behavior of individual economic entities, such as families and enterprises, and the impact of their decisions on resource allocation and market operation. Specifically, such as supply and demand relations, price elasticity, consumers
Behavior, producer behavior and other issues.”
"That means microeconomics is more close to the definition of people's livelihood?" Li Shimin asked.
It can be said that his understanding is not wrong, but it is not comprehensive.
Dai Zhou didn't want to talk too much, so he continued: "Yes, your Majesty is wise."
Li Shimin was very happy when he heard this.
It seems that he still has a certain understanding of the economy.
"What about the third type?" Li Shimin asked again.
Dai Zhou immediately said: "The third type is called development economics. According to the book, it studies the country's economic growth, poverty reduction, inequality issues and related policies. Such as economic development model, wealth gap, human resources
Capital accumulation and other issues.”
"This is the first time I have heard such a term about the gap between rich and poor. Can you tell me about it?"
"The gap between rich and poor is also called inequality of wealth, income inequality, etc. The rich control 90% of the wealth, while the poor only get 10% of the wealth. All we can do is to be as fair as possible."
"Indeed, what about the next one?"
"The next one is called industrial economics. It mainly studies issues such as the structure, competition, cooperation and innovation of various industries. Such as market structure, industrial policy, corporate competition strategy and other issues."
This point is about Shengtang Group.
Therefore, Li Shimin had no special feelings.
"What about the next one?"
"The next one has a deeper relationship with our court. It is called financial economics. It mainly studies financial markets, financial institutions and financial systems, and analyzes their impact on economic operations. Such as monetary policy, capital market, and other issues."

Compared with the rational decision-making assumption of traditional economics, it studies the influence of individual psychological, cognitive and emotional factors on economic decision-making.
Impact.
…
What Dai Zhou said made Li Shimin look blank. Obviously, this knowledge was beyond his cognitive scope.
But what can I say, he also wants to know this knowledge.
"According to what you said, the knowledge here is indeed very good." Li Shimin said.
Obviously, he has been attracted by the knowledge inside.
Dai Zhou said: "Your Majesty, what I can only say is some superficial things. There are deeper things that I cannot understand. You may need to go to the library to see this in person."
Dai Zhou is still very good at talking. In this case, Li Shimin would not let him teach.
In this case, Li Shimin might go to the library himself to have a look.
After all, it is only true if you see it with your own eyes.
Sure enough, everything was as Dai Zhou thought.
"Dai Zhou, I want to go to the library. You and I can go and see it together!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! When shall we go?"
"Now, go now!" Li Shimin decided to go to the library and take a look.
"Yes, Your Majesty, how about we disguise ourselves?"
"No, go directly!"
Li Shimin said.
This made Dai Zhou a little confused. Normally, Li Shimin would disguise himself before going, but today he went directly as the emperor.
What medicine is he selling in his gourd?
Dai Zhou didn't understand Li Shimin's approach, so he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, if you go now, it may be difficult to protect your personal safety. How about we disguise ourselves and then go?"
But Li Shimin thought that going to the library this time was a kind of propaganda. He encouraged the people to read more, study more, and support the culture of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that Li Shimin at this time had reached a high level. Let Dai Zhou
A height that is difficult for anyone to reach.
"I'm going to the library. In order to let the people know the importance of knowledge, I also want the TV station to broadcast my schedule today. Do you understand?"
Li Shimin said this.
His approach made Dai Zhou understand a little bit.
"If this is the case, Your Majesty, I will support you."
"Okay, let's set off now."
Li Shimin said.
So, he took Dai Zhou and some guards to the library in Chang'an.
His trip was very grand, and because of the huge momentum he created, many people stopped to watch on his way to the library.
People spread the word from one to ten and from one to another.
Everyone is very curious, what is the emperor doing today?
But soon, when Li Shimin's motorcade stopped in front of the library, the entire library fell into chaos.
Everyone walked out of the library one after another. Everyone looked at Li Shimin.
At the same time, everyone was a little panicked.
What was Li Shimin doing? He wasn't here to arrest someone, was he? But the next second they were wrong.
At this time, Li Shimin, led by Dai Zhou, had already walked to the library.
The people also spontaneously gave up a way. This time Li Shimin did not bring many troops. More of them were just a few guards to protect his safety.
At this time, there was a lot of hype in the whole library. A large number of people poured into the library.
Seeing that there were more and more people, the situation became a little out of control.
At this time, Li Shimin saw that these libraries were much larger than those he had visited before.
Over the years, Li Min has not fallen behind at all in the construction of libraries.
And in Li Shimin's opinion, the number of books inside seems to have made a qualitative leap again.
It is really hard to imagine that in just a few years, the library has grown to such an extent.
Then Li Shimin stopped under a high platform.
The people quickly saluted him.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
"You don't need to pay attention to me. I came here today to study just like everyone else. The library provides a wide range of books and other information resources to meet the support needs of the general public. It can help ordinary people and scholars carry out their studies.
Learning, researching and writing can improve reading skills. As well as provide a space for socialization and interaction, and build friendships and interpersonal relationships. With its existence, libraries can provide people with learning opportunities and resources, whether they are children, teenagers or adults.
. Promote the concept of lifelong learning. With the library, everyone can learn a lot of knowledge from here and arm themselves. You can improve yourself through the knowledge learned in the library. The library is the treasure of my Datang Dynasty. I will work hard
support."
This is Li Shimin's evaluation of the library. Many people applauded it.
At the same time, everyone was also surprised that the emperor was so aware.
Li Shimin continued.
"In ancient times, when three people walked together, there must be my teacher. In ancient times, there was no shame in asking questions.
When I am short of knowledge, I will also think about learning. I hope everyone can study hard and contribute to the Tang Dynasty. Okay! That’s all I have to say. Can everyone leave? What are you doing?"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, he asked Dai Zhou to take him up to the seventh floor.
There are a lot of economics-related books out there.
Li Shimin will spend time in this library today and will not go back.
Because here is his experience in governing the country and improving the economy. There is a large theoretical knowledge base here. He doesn't care who edited these books.
Anyway, what he said makes sense, that's enough. And Li Shimin himself is not stupid. Can he distinguish between true and false knowledge?
So everyone dispersed and looked at their books.
Li Shimin is learning the knowledge together with everyone.
As for Li Shimin, he was soaked in the library until late at night.
Still refused to go back. Dai Zhou had no choice but to have food delivered to the library.
As for the people in the library who saw Li Shimin like this, they all gave a thumbs up and applauded. The Tang Dynasty needed such an emperor.
This continued until the next day, and Li Shimin still had no intention of leaving.
Dai Zhou finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He also stayed here for a day. If he didn't go back, he would cry.
Finally, I had to say to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I still have many things to deal with in the palace, so I will go back and deal with them first."
Li Shimin said directly: "Okay, then you can go back. I'm still here to read a few more books. The books here are so wonderful."
He loves the books here very much. And there are quite a few books.
There are a lot of books that he can't put down.
He also gained a lot of knowledge from these books, and his understanding of economics has also reached a certain level.
This knowledge allowed him to manage Datang well and bring Datang's economy to a higher level.
This is what he wants.
Why didn't he think of coming to the library before?
But now it seems that everything is not too late.
When Dai Zhou heard this, he was very happy.
I thought, I can finally leave.
Li Shimin sometimes becomes inexplicably persistent when pursuing one thing.
"Yes, Your Majesty! That minister is resigning!"
Dai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how long Li Shimin will stay here.
After he left, the people also saw Li Shimin's determination and expressed that Li Shimin was a good emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin didn't know about this. He only knew that he should read more books.
