"I'm just a county magistrate," Lin Han said with a smile."How do you expect me to solve this?"”
"You can even solve floods and droughts, which means you're very smart. It shouldn't be difficult for you to make money."”
Hearing Li Shiming's words, Lin Han smiled.
Indeed, if he really wanted to make money, it wouldn't be difficult. With the skills in his head, he could make money with anything.
However, it would take time to implement these technologies.
Moreover, the one lacking silver was the Imperial Court, not him.
If he wanted to solve the problem of the flood, he had to think of a way to help the court earn money.
"Do you know why the imperial court is short of money?" Lin Han asked.”
"Because the Great Tang has just been established, and there are many places that require money." Li Shiming was stunned for a moment before he replied,"And because of the frequent natural disasters, the national treasury is empty."”
"That's one of the reasons," Lin Han said."But there's another important reason. The agriculture of the Tang Empire is too heavy.”
"What do you mean?" Li Shi Min asked.
"If a country wants to become strong, tell me what conditions it needs?”
Li Shi Min thought for a moment and said,"A powerful army."”
Lin Han shook his head.
"A good emperor," Zhangsun Wuji said.”
Lin Han still shook his head.
"A strong army and a good emperor, can't they make a country strong?" Li Shi Min said.”
" If a country wants to be strong, a strong army and a good emperor are necessary," Lin Han said with a smile." But the most important condition is that the economy is developed enough."”
"Throughout the dynasties, the economy of every powerful dynasty has reached a peak.”
As he said this, Lin Han looked at Li Shiming and said,""You said that if a country wants to become strong, it needs a strong army. Then let me ask you, if the country's economy is decadent, can it support a strong army to fight?”
"No matter how strong the army is, it is still formed by people. If the country's economy is not strong enough, it will not be able to give them a strong backing. Therefore, no matter how strong they are, they will eventually lose.”
At this point, Lin Han looked at Zhangsun Wuji.
"You said that a powerful country needs a good emperor.”
"But if a good emperor doesn't know how to develop the economy, no matter how good he is to the people, he won't make the country strong.”
"In the past dynasties, there was no lack of good emperors, right? But why was their country destroyed in the end?”
"Because they don't know how to develop the economy. The strength of a country is actually measured by the economy.”
Li Shi Min and Zhangsun Wu Ji fell into deep thought.
Li Shi Min was able to ascend to the throne because of the bravery of his generals and their ability to fight.
Therefore, in his understanding, if a country wanted to be strong, it had to rely on a strong army.
As for Zhangsun Wuji, he was thinking from the perspective of an official.
Therefore, in his opinion, only a good emperor could make the country stronger.
In fact, their thoughts were not wrong. It was just that they ignored the foundation of a strong country. It all came from the economy.
"Brother Lin's words today have enlightened me. Then, I would like to ask Brother Lin, how should the country's economy develop?”
"It's very simple. Reduce agriculture and develop commerce."”
" Reduce agriculture and develop commerce?"
"That's right. We should encourage the people to start their own businesses internally and strengthen trade with the outside world. In this way, the Great Tang will prosper in less than three years.”
Li Shi Min stared at Lin Han. In his eyes, he could already see the Great Tang growing stronger.
"Alright, we'll do as Brother Lin says."”
To make the Great Tang prosper in three years, though he felt that it was a little impossible.
But he felt that as long as he did as Lin Han said, it was only a matter of time before the Great Tang became a powerful country.
Lin Han smiled." What do you mean do as I say? I'm just a county magistrate, and you're just a businessman."”
"Our conversation today was just a casual discussion. Don't take it to heart.”
"I was just excited. I didn't take it to heart." Li Shimin laughed.”
Although he said that, Li Shiming had already remembered Lin Han's name.
Reduce agriculture and develop trade.
"Alright, I should go."
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Shiming was ready to leave.
"Take care then, I won't send you off."”
After Li Shiming left, Lin Han turned his gaze to the ground and found that Princess Changle was still helping Empress Zhangsun train.
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle were already covered in sweat.
Lin Han smiled and said,"Alright, an hour a day is enough."?”
"Training for too long will only backfire.”
"Alright."
Hearing this, Princess Changle hurriedly helped Empress Zhangsun up.
Empress Zhangsun could no longer stand steadily.
She had never experienced such a difficult training before.
Seeing Empress Zhangsun's face covered in sweat, Princess Changle quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face.
"Mother, there seem to be wrinkles at the corners of your eyes.”
Princess Chang Le said.
"I can't help it," Empress Zhangsun said with a smile."Mother is already old."”
"Where is it? Let me see."
Lin Han took a closer look and found that there were crow's feet at the corners of Empress Zhangsun's eyes.
"It's fine. It might be caused by overwork. I'll go and get her a facial mask later. It'll be gone after a while.”
"Mask?"
Empress Zhangsun looked puzzled.
"It's something that can lighten the skin and remove wrinkles," Lin Han said.”
"There's such a thing in this world?"
" You didn't have it before," Lin Han said." But you'll have it soon. I guarantee that after you apply it, not only will there be no wrinkles, you'll even look younger."”
Hearing this, Princess Chang Le's interest was piqued. She pulled Lin Han's arm and said,""Husband, is it really that magical? I want one too."
"Alright, I'll make one for you when I get it for your mother," Lin Han said with a smile.”
"Alright, thank you, husband."
