Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Since Li Xin had already anticipated such a thing, there was no need for Li Xin to get angry at this moment.

He actually has a way of dealing with these sabotage guys. Whether it is to record the name and hand it over to Xiao Yu or Li Shimin, these old fritters from the household department can be warned or even punished. But this is only a palliative, not a permanent solution, and it seems a bit naive.

Not coming to class is just the most direct means of resistance. If Li Xin used the method of inviting superiors to oppress these people to attend, then these people would naturally learn the methods of indirect sabotage such as desertion in class, talking, and sleeping without a teacher. This is the necessity of human nature. Unless Li Xin can make Li Shimin or Xiao Yu come to be "disciplinary committee members" every time, it will not help at all.

Of course, Li Xin himself didn't want to bother his elders because of such a trivial matter. Since he had already guessed that this was a small test given by Xiao Yu, then naturally he had to rely on himself to solve the problem.

So, he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone is almost here, so let's start."

As soon as the words fell, there were some titters below.

There are less than ten people in the big office that should have been full. Is this also called "almost come"? It doesn't have to be so obvious to force yourself to save face, right? It seems that there is nothing special about this king of Chu. He is not angry when the seniors so clearly do not give him face. He is really a soft persimmon.

Such thoughts spread through everyone present in silent eye contact.

Li Xin didn't take it seriously, and started the lecture on his own.

"Master Xiao asked me to talk about my experience in business. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should make some corrections. What I'm talking about is not just about business. To be precise, it should be called economics." Li Dao said.

At this time, the young man with a Chinese face stood up and asked, "May I ask His Highness the King of Chu, what kind of knowledge is this so-called economics? Where did you find it?" A few years older, but he actually wants to listen to Li Xin's lectures instead, so he is naturally not convinced, and he will contradict him when he finds an opportunity to show his ability.

Li Xin shook his head, and said without changing his face: "I didn't find it from the scriptures of the predecessors, but I created my own knowledge, which is a knowledge about money."

Tsk tsk, no wonder the old saying goes that if you are born once, you are familiar the second time.

Hearing the words, Guozilian had a slight smile on his face, but he held back in the end.

You, Li Xin, are only seventeen years old this year. The ancients said, self-cultivation, family governance, country and world peace. This is a Confucian scholar's upgrade path. Not to mention how well you cultivate yourself, at least it is irrefutable that you haven't married a wife yet? So where can you have a home? How can you talk about governing the country if you can't even do self-cultivation and family harmony? Not to mention creating a new science. That's what saints are qualified to do! Moreover, it even said that this is a study of money! What a joke!

"I think that knowledge should not be put together with money." Guo Zilian said seriously. Although his wording was quite polite, his tone clearly had the taste of an elder accusing an ignorant junior.

"I know, you think I'm joking. You also think it's vulgar for a scholar to talk about money in an open manner." Li Xin was not angry, but said with a smile, "But I ask you, what do you think?" Based on what you have seen and heard as officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, can the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty be achieved without money?"

After finishing speaking, he casually pointed to a young man with a mustache beside him, and asked, "What do you think?"

Mustache was waiting to see a joke, but when he was suddenly clicked, he froze for a moment, hesitating and saying nothing.

Li Xin spread his hands, and said: "From taxes to your salaries, to raising soldiers and horses, and even to the imperial examinations, which one can be done without money? I ask you to think about it, every aspect of our daily life, whether it is Whether it is a country or an individual, which thing has nothing to do with money at all?"

Guozilian said: "I read and write at home, and study the words of sages. What does it have to do with money?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "You don't need money to buy books? You don't need money to write and ink? Besides, where did your mansion come from? It was also bought with real money. How can it be said that it has nothing to do with money?"

Only then did Guozilian understand that what Li Xin was referring to was not just spending money directly.

Li Xin was silent for a while, waiting for other people's possible opinions. But after they listened to the conversation between Guozilian and Li Xin, they unanimously chose to remain silent, and no one spoke. No way, Li Xin's point of view is too invincible. If it is related to money as long as it involves money, then there is really nothing in the world that has nothing to do with money. If you open your mouth rashly to oppose this point of view, you will only be stunned like that Chinese character face.

"Then I would like to ask, since the matter of money involves all aspects, is there anything strange about having a study of money?" Li Xin glanced across everyone's faces.

The Chinese-character face was rendered speechless, and just as he felt that his face was dull, he gritted his teeth and retorted: "It's just money, what's there to study?"
