Encyclopedic Enlightenment!
Seeing this title, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were shocked.
To be able to give this name, one must have absolute confidence in one's knowledge!
After all, everyone had their shortcomings, but the author of this book didn't seem to have any.
However, confidence was one thing, but whether it was a mule or a horse, it had to be pulled out.
Li Shiming opened the book. The first page was the table of contents.
Just like the modern day table of contents, there were pages after each knowledge point.
Li Shiming's eyes lit up when he saw the novel typography.
There were three major categories on it, namely "Natural Science","Social Science", and "Thought Science"!
Below each major category, there were countless smaller categories.
For example, under natural science, there were physics, chemistry, and so on.
Under social science, there were economics, politics, and so on.
Under the science of thought, there was philosophy, psychology, and so on.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui felt like their heads were about to explode when they saw these new words.
What was science?
They all knew these words, but after they formed a vocabulary, they were completely clueless.
Was this the author showing off, or was there something else?
After a while.
Li Shimin found that there was a law in social science, which should be the Legalism. At least, he knew one of them.
Let's start with social science.
He said slowly,"Look at this economics!"”
Du Ruhui nodded and flipped to " Economics ".
Seeing this, Li Shi Min said,"In the future, the books in the imperial court will also be designed like this. It will be much more convenient.”
Du Ruhui noted it down.
Li Shimin also looked at the introduction of economics."Economics is a discipline that studies the laws of business activities and various business relationships as well as their operation and development in every stage of the development of the past dynasties!”
Seeing this, Li Shiming became serious. As an Imperial Entertainment, he was interested in this subject.
The development of the past dynasties could be seen here!
It was just the process of business development. What was there to study about this?
Li Shi Min continued reading with doubt.
"There are two main branches of economics. One is macro economics, and the other is micro economics!”
"In short, the macro economy corresponds to the country, while the micro economy corresponds to the individual!”
"The microeconomy and the macro economy are inseparable, and the two will affect each other! It will also affect the development of the country!"
As an introductory book, the Encyclopedic Enlightenment did not go into full detail.
However, the simple theory piqued Li Shiming's interest.
In his understanding, the strength of a country was defined by military power, population, and food.
But this book said that the prosperity of the country was related to commerce, and even the personal businesses of the people were related?
"Isn't this too exaggerated?”Du Ruhui also saw this and raised his own question.
Li Shi Min didn't say anything, but said,"Keep watching. There are examples behind!"
The two of them continued reading.
The first example was the story of a merchant named Zhang San. Zhang San was a traveling merchant who traveled between the Turks and the Great Tang, buying sweet potatoes from the Great Tang and wool from the Turks.
They could be processed into woolen sweaters and resold, earning a lot of money. Later, more and more people learned Zhang San's method, and in the end, the Great Tang and the Turks established long-term trade relations.
With sweet potatoes, the Turks no longer plundered the south. Instead, they raised sheep in peace and became friendly friends who could sing and dance.
Seeing this, Li Shi Min's eyes lit up. He seemed to have understood something. He had been looking for a way to make friends with the neighboring country.
Now, there seemed to be a clue. However, how should he make this woolen sweater?
"Your Majesty, this expert must be found. I have a feeling that as long as we can find him, it is possible for all countries to come to court and enter the capital to meet the emperor!”Du Ruhui said excitedly.
This short story had allowed him to see a whole new world. He had never thought that the businessman he looked down on the most could be so useful!
Li Shi Min nodded. Finding the expert had become the second most important thing after planting the sweet potatoes!
The first example was that the micro affected the macro, but what about the macro affecting the micro?
Li Shimin continued reading. The protagonist of the story was still Zhang San. The story was about selling sweet potatoes and buying wool.
However, the story began in the middle of the trade, and things took a turn.
The Turks were not satisfied with buying and selling food, and the Turkic Khagan became ambitious. He wanted to seize the Central Plains and sweet potatoes, and his cavalry went south to fight!
The Great Tang immediately shut down trade and began to counterattack.
Although the war was won in the end, Zhang San, who had lost his source of income, became poorer and poorer. He had long died in the war.
"This incident tells us that a change at the macro level may affect the fate of the entire grassroots!”
"At the same time, it also tells us that those who are not of our race will have different hearts! Conquering is the only way!"
The last sentence was the author's private goods.
Li Shi Min was also very touched when he saw this. He opened his mouth but found that his mouth was dry and his throat was dry. He couldn't speak at all.
He looked at the words in the book, as if he saw an invisible hand waving wantonly between countries.
He finally understood what it meant to have a macro influence on the micro.
Perhaps he had once signed a memorial that had caused countless people to lose their homes.
It even affected his view of the alien races. How should he treat them? Was peace more precious or conquest?
Countless questions came one after another. Li Shimin wished he could immediately find the master who wrote this book and ask him these questions.
Du Ruhui was so shocked that his entire body was trembling. He had never come into contact with such a novel way of thinking.
The expert who wrote this book was completely above their thoughts. It was as if he was an immortal looking down on all living beings and speaking about the mysteries of the common people.
His words were simple, but the logic was extremely clear!
This was only a page of logic. What about the entire book?
Thinking of this, Li Shiming and Li Shiming were fully immersed in the book, and every word made them happy.
They were all thinking!
What kind of expert was this author!
