In the Summer Palace, Lan He came to Li Shimin carefully.

He didn't expect that such a small thing would be impossible to handle.

"Your Majesty, Wang Youcai had already left Chang'an City yesterday and said he was going to Zhenbei Road to study potato planting and trade relations on the grassland."

"The Wealth of Nations" caused such a big disturbance, and Li Shimin naturally wanted to meet the author Wang Youcai and learn about Wang Youcai's true view.

Of course, before meeting, Li Shimin also felt that it was necessary to read the book carefully, otherwise he would not be able to ask any skilled questions without paying attention to it.

As a result, Li Shimin finally took the time to read "The Wealth of Nations" twice, but Wang Youcai left Chang'an City.

"Didn't he say he was giving lectures in various academies during this period? Why did he suddenly go to Zhenbei Road?"

Li Shimin was quite surprised by Lan He's answer.

In his opinion, now is the pinnacle of Wang Youcai's life.

Isn’t these literati pursue fame?

He didn't cherish such an opportunity to gain fame, but instead wanted to stay away from Chang'an City?

In Li Shimin's heart, he couldn't help but look up at Wang Youcai.

If he really went to Zhenbeidao to do research, then under such circumstances, he could still calm down and do research, and then he could really become an authoritative figure in economics in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

"I am not very clear, but I inquire from many sources that he has gone to Zhenbei Road, which is undoubtedly true."

Lanhe felt that she was in trouble.

Wang Youcai was not in Chang'an City, and this had nothing to do with him.

But now it seems like he hasn't done his job well.

"Father, my son-in-law actually thinks that Wang Youcai can continue to go to Zhenbei Road for research under this situation, which is worthy of the author of "The Wealth of Nations".

The author of such a book that has developed political economy should not be like ordinary literati, but should have his own character and persistence.

Wang Youcai is only in his twenties this year, and it is the time to be strong in his youth. If he could study hard, then in a few years, he might be able to write a book that is comparable to the Wealth of the Kingdom."

Li Zhi in the corner also jumped out to show his presence.

After analyzing with Yu Zhining, Li Zhi felt that it would be better to study "The Wealth of the Kingdom".

However, he fell in love with this book for this research.

The more you think about many of the words in it, the more classic it becomes.

Especially when looking at this book in light of the changes in the Tang Dynasty over the past decade, you can feel the charm of it.

"Zhi Nu said it right. Wang Youcai was able to study and study so tirelessly, which fully demonstrates that Guanshishan Academy's academic style is still very good."

Li Zhi:???

Why did it all come into contact with Guanshishan Academy’s academic style?

Forget it, you say yes.

...

Li Kuan was summoned to the palace by Li Shimin today.

When Wang Youcai was not here, Li Shimin immediately thought of Li Kuan, the person who first advocated the "The Wealth of the Country" in the "Da Tang Daily".

In his opinion, Li Kuan was able to write such a comment, which must have had extraordinary insights into the Wealth of Nations.

The facts show his views, which are quite consistent with everyone's recent reactions.

"Kuan'er, what do you think of this "The Wealth of Nations"?"

Although Li Shimin had read Li Kuan's articles in the newspaper, the newspaper was a newspaper, and face-to-face communication was a face-to-face communication.

"Your Majesty, this book, even after a thousand years, will still be a classic work in the field of economics, a must-read work for all business school students, and a book that everyone who wants to understand economics says is unavoidable."

Li Kuan knew that Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" by later generations immediately caused a huge sensation in the UK once it was released.

The princes and nobles were proud to know Smith.

Even in the twenty-one world, this book is still considered to be the pioneering work in the field of economics and one of the 100 must-read books.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Although Li Shimin knew that Li Kuan had a high opinion of this book.

But even though I know, Li Shimin still felt it was a bit exaggerated when he heard Li Kuan's comments with his own ears.

"Yes! Many of the principles of economics are unchanging. Wang Youcai discussed some of the most basic principles in "The Wealth of Nations". Although these principles will change with the development of the times.

But fundamental things will not change. For example, division of labor, even after a thousand years, it is still the best way to improve production efficiency.

The benefits of division of labor can be seen from the production process of various items in the workshop city. This trend will only become more and more obvious, and it is impossible to reverse the situation."

When Li Kuan said this, he looked confident.

Even if Li Shimin had some questions in his heart, he could only choose to believe it.

"Second brother, why do you think this "The Wealth of Nations" is the pioneering work of political economy, rather than the pioneering work of economics?"

Li Zhi, who was standing beside him, interjected in time.

He has been holding this question in his mind for a long time.

Now I finally have the chance to ask.

After all, even in "The Wealth of Nations", there is no word "political economy".

"Your Majesty, the economic development of any country is inseparable from the support of a stable political environment, and our Tang Dynasty is no exception.

Why has the Tang Dynasty developed rapidly in the past decade? This is closely related to His Majesty's wise rule."

Li Kuan doesn't care about it, he will first flatter Li Shimin.

Anyway, no one can jump out to refute this truth, nor is it completely nonsense.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Kuan said this, Li Zhi didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"The court provided a stable environment for economic development, lifted many constraints on merchants, and the emergence of various new commodities provided merchants with many business opportunities. The Tang Dynasty's economy immediately ushered in rapid development."

Seeing that Li Shimin and Li Zhi didn't say anything anymore, Li Kuan continued to talk about his understanding.

Just so happened that I took this opportunity to brainwash Li Shimin.

I will not be detrimental to other ministers' opinions.

After all, the rapid economic development is not necessarily a good thing for royal rule.

Otherwise, why did so many dynasties implement the policy of fooling the people?

"The so-called political economy is..."

Next, Li Kuan talked endlessly for half an hour and threw out many new theories of political economy.

It even vaguely mentioned that it was necessary for the court to make some changes to the new economic pattern.
Chapter completed!
