It was almost dark when he got home. Su Kang's face was covered with sweat and there were a few mud marks, which looked particularly embarrassing. He grabbed the teapot from his father's hand and drank it in one go. Liu Gao had already arranged for people to prepare it.
Food and bath water, Su Ren just smiled and continued to read the book in his hand.
"Next time, let me go! This job is too tiring! I've been wandering around Chang'an City all day, look at how sweaty I am."
Su Ren smiled and said: "What? Are you angry?"
Su Kang sat down and said, "I'm so angry. The emperor is too stupid. He doesn't understand anything and likes to think wildly. And that Huo Guang didn't say a word. If I hadn't explained it when we were at the bank, I think the emperor would have wanted to destroy the bank."
All the money in it will go into the palace."
Su Ren touched Su Kang's head with a loving look on his face: "Although you are not the eldest son, you are the legitimate son in the eyes of others. You are the only one who is most suitable for this job. The reason why Huo Guang didn't say anything is because he thinks you can handle it well in the future.
Go to the Prince's Mansion often when you have nothing to do, and take the Emperor out more often when you have the opportunity. He must be very lonely staying alone in the palace. You are a junior and this is what you should do."
"Oh!" Su Kang agreed reluctantly: "Father, do you want to make the emperor look bad?"
Su Ren shook his head: "Are the emperor's jokes that funny? I want the emperor to see more of the outside world and not to ruin the country of Han Dynasty carelessly."
"The country belongs to their Liu family, what good will it do them if they mess it up?"
"That's not certain. Remember, this country does not belong to the Liu family, but to the entire Han people. It is ours now, it will be yours in the future, and it will still be your children's in the future. If it continues to be prosperous like this, maybe we can
If we change the situation of killing each other within a few hundred years, that will be a truly peaceful and prosperous age."
"Then we have to oust the emperor! The emperor's uncle is a smart emperor, and Liu Zhi is okay. If something strange comes from the Liu family in the future, who knows what will happen!"
Su Ren hit Su Kang with the book in his hand: "You still don't understand, go take a shower, look at you covered in mud."
Ever since he hurried back to Louguan from the court that day, Su Ren had never been to Chang'an again, not even attending the fifteenth day of the great court meeting. The general of the Hussars is a military position and has neither an affiliated army nor an army.
There is no corresponding real power. In theory, he is the second deputy of Da Sima, but Su Ren believes that with Wei Qing at the front, he will not have much power. Unless the emperor wants to use troops again, he may not think of him. Of course, he will stay in Louguan.
The emperor means that the emperor does not want such a powerful figure like Su Ren to stand in the court hall all day gesticulating, which might also reveal his emperor's incompetence.
You can't stay idle in Louguan. At Dong Zhongshu's strong request, Su Ren, a nominal doctor of the academy, had to go to the academy to take classes, because there were several courses that no one else except Su Ren could teach, such as mathematics, physics and chemistry.
In the past, when Su Ren was leading troops abroad, he had no choice but to find some people who knew a little bit about it. Now that Su Ren is back, he can't be too lazy.
Early every morning, Su Ren lazily walked out of his home with his hands behind his back, walked through the back door of the academy, entered the doctor's building, and got into his office. The house was not big, and there were no books or books in the room.
There are no calligraphy and paintings everywhere. There is only a table and a chair by the window, with the Four Treasures of the Study and a few books on it. At the base of the back wall is a small bed, only two feet wide, just enough for one person to lie down on. The strangest thing is
There is a cabinet in Su Ren's office. It is made of bronze and is said to weigh three hundred kilograms. The lock is made by Gong Shuji. Gong Shurail pats his chest and guarantees that even the most powerful thief in the world will not be able to open the lock he designed. No one knows.
What was in this cabinet? Someone once asked insinuatingly what was in this cabinet. Su Ren just smiled and said nothing.
Huo Guang has tidied up the office, and put the academy's breakfast on the table. The fragrance of Suzhou Yunwu tea brewed by himself is lingering in the air. It can be said that Huo Guang is Su Ren Zheng'er's first disciple in the Eight Classics, and I'm afraid he is also.
The last apprentice. In the past, Huo Qubing, Huo Jin and Su Ren always regarded them as their little brothers. Although they were considered Su Ren's land, their playful intentions were much greater than their actual teaching. Several children in the family, Su Ren, never
He is willing to teach them knowledge such as governing the country, and he has only a limited understanding of many of them. Only Huo Guang is the one who cares most about Su Ren, because he believes that Huo Guang is the person who can best inherit his ideas and legacy, both in terms of future expectations and historical trends.
That's true.
"Teacher, this political economy is difficult to understand, and there are even some contradictions in it. The student would like to ask for advice." Huo Guang took the opportunity to ask while watching Su Ren eating.
Su Ren nodded. Huo Guang said quickly: "Without exchange, production can occur; without production, exchange cannot occur. There is no problem with this statement. However, if there is too much production, there will be an economic crisis as the teacher said. The same is true for insufficient production.
, how can we master this balance?”
Su Ren scratched his head. In fact, he spent a lot of effort when writing this book. It took him almost two years of scratching his head and scratching his head to figure it out. As for what political economics is, he didn't even figure it out.
He vaguely spliced together some different things such as production, exchange, management, etc. according to his own associations. He never expected anyone to be interested in this book, but he didn't expect Huo Guang to be so obsessed with it.
"Well... you have to practice it yourself!" Su Ren laughed: "With insufficient production and no exchange of goods, prices will inevitably rise. If it is a special item, it is fine. But once it touches basic goods, such as food, it will definitely rise.
Yes, there will be big problems; in the same way, there will be overproduction, unfavorable exchanges and unsmooth exchange, and prices will definitely fall. Let’s take grain as an example. If grain prices are low and hurt farmers, big problems will still occur. The most appropriate way is to always close the warehouse. When production is sufficient,
Stock up at the original price to avoid a serious price drop, and sell at a lower price when production is insufficient."
Huo Guang nodded repeatedly: "This is indeed a good idea. The country must reserve materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Only in this way can bad situations be effectively avoided. At the same time, military supplies should be stockpiled in large quantities so that they will not be stretched if a crisis occurs."
Su Ren smiled slightly and quickly changed the subject: "How did you feel when you were observing politics in Sinong Temple?"
Huo Guangxiao sighed like an adult: "You are so old-fashioned that you don't cultivate fine seeds or study agricultural tools. You just wait for supplies from Lingnan. If there is a big disaster in Lingnan, our Han Dynasty Sinong Temple will accomplish nothing, and maybe even Chang'an will starve to death."
people."
"Isn't this the old thief Er Kuan?"
"Da Sinong is good, but I don't dare to say anything about the rest. The Prime Minister of Taicang doesn't know anything about it. The Prime Minister Jun Shu doesn't even know the products of various places. The Prime Minister Ping Zhun doesn't even know what the price of things is. How can the Prime Minister of Du Nei and Ji Tian Cheng be good?
One thing, I have been having good weather these past few years and have had good harvests every year without any problems. I was worried about what might happen... I also told Da Sinongti about these things, but they all thought I was just a child and didn't take it to heart.
."
Su Ren smiled: "That's inevitable. You are here to observe the politics. Secondly, you are indeed not very old. I think when I was your age, I was still selling private salt in Wenshui. Don't worry, you still have a chance.
"
Huo Guang nodded obediently: "I understand, I will watch it carefully! In the past few months, I have basically seen the problem of Da Si Nong clearly. Can I go to Sima Mansion to observe the government next year?"
Su Ren laughed: "Okay, I'll go find Wei Qing in a few days. In fact, you can go by yourself."
Huo Guang shook his head: "Brother and I are different!" After saying this, Huo Guang said nothing, packed up the dishes and chopsticks used by the teacher, and carried them out the door.
There was a math class in the morning. After Su Ren happily tortured all the students with two bathhouse administrators and scratched their heads, he happily walked out of the classroom holding his teaching tools. The mathematics he taught was in Louguan Academy.
In the eyes of the students, it is the most terrifying subject. Guan Qiang once complained that Xiao Ming, Xiao Wang, and Aunt Zhang in the mathematics class were all overfed, and if he met them, they would all
Crushed to death.
Dong Zhongshu glared at Su Ren with a dark face, and Su Ren quickly lowered his head and saluted: "Good wine!" Naturally, Su Ren couldn't call his father-in-law in the academy. He understood the old man's temper very well, that is, he paid special attention to his status.
"Why are we using such an obscure topic today? Aren't we still learning the equations from the past few days?"
Su Ren said quickly: "The year-end exam is coming soon. I came back a little late, so I am a little anxious because of the classes. Please forgive me."
"Huh!" Dong Zhongshu didn't say anything, and continued to visit another classroom with his hands behind his back. Su Ren wiped the sweat from his forehead. It seemed that the old man believed this reason. It's okay to lie once, but you have to pay attention to it in the future.
Because Su Ren had to teach three courses, and they belonged to different colleges, he was busy all day long. Behind him, there was Huo Guang, a monster who kept creating new problems for him. He suddenly felt that he was not good at teaching.
It was already dark when I got home, but fortunately it was not far away. Because Su Ren would have all three meals at the academy whenever he went to the academy, so there was no food left at home. According to Su Ren, since he was working for the government, he naturally couldn't eat a little.
Fortunately, I first went to the children's bedrooms and looked at them one by one, and then returned to my own bedroom. Dong Qian had already gone to bed, and Su Ren quietly left without disturbing her.
Leng Jun appeared behind Su Ren at some unknown time and startled Su Ren: "After Jian'er and Mei Yatou get married next year, I will go back to Laojunguan."
Su Ren walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down: "Well! You go back first, and when things here are settled, I will go back too. Since I came back, I have always dreamed about that place. I really want to
Go and have a look.”
"Have you ever seen it before? There was nothing there."
"Perhaps we overlooked something. That's where I came from. I thought I could go back soon, but I didn't expect that it's been almost thirty years. I have a wife and children. Even if I want to leave, I won't be able to leave. I won't be able to leave."
"What kind of place is it?"
Su Ren smiled helplessly: "Maybe it's from the past life!" (To be continued)
