Two months have passed, Zhu Cihong's knowledge has increased greatly, many things, in the palace, it is impossible to see, some things, even directly shaken his understanding, for example, about the status of Shinong industry and commerce, all say that the status of businessmen is the lowest, there should be no status, no businessmen and no treachery, many teachers in class also said the same, but Zhou Tianhao does not think so, Su Tiancheng believes that the status of businessmen is very important, must be respected, if there is no contribution of businessmen, You can't get rich anytime soon.

Zhu Cihong didn't understand these truths very well, the teacher's lectures were all Confucianism, and there was a lot of food, including how the ancient sages did it, etc., all of them were tall and complete things, especially the requirements of Shendu, which made Zhu Cihong feel a little distressed, and the ten-year-old child was naturally a little scared when he thought of having to abide by so many rules in the future.

But Su Tiancheng didn't care about these opinions at all, and his insight was also unique, which made Zhu Cihong begin to trust Su Tiancheng, as long as he had the opportunity, he would watch Su Tiancheng handle official business, and also chat with Su Tiancheng, in the process of this chat, Zhu Cihong slowly heard some truths that he had never heard of.

Fang Fengnian and Yao Minggong continued to attend classes according to the requirements in the palace, but unfortunately Zhu Cihong couldn't listen to them, these boring things were not attractive at all.

Slowly, Zhu Cihong used the excuse of learning to deal with official business, basically followed Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng has a lot of things every day, and it often takes more than half a day to deal with it.

Su Tiancheng was very patient and explained seriously.

Zhu Cihong understood the most basic truth. This is what he has personally experienced, that is, to correctly understand the relationship between the peasants and the merchants, and the scholars belong to the leading class, and of course they are high, and the peasants, craftsmen, and merchants are inseparable. On the other hand, scholars rely on agriculture and industry to make a living, so scholars should truly understand the truth that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and should not always say that if they regard themselves as the parents of the people, if the people have a little bit of bad work, they will either beat or scold, and this practice is not good. In the end, it also harmed itself, and we must respect the people.

Su Tiancheng deals with everything according to this principle.

For example, solving the problem of poverty among the people in Sichuan is the biggest problem, and if this problem is basically solved, it will be a matter of being able to get rid of the rogue bandits, and under the current conditions, this cannot be done for the time being. However, it is also necessary to reduce the taxes of the common people to the greatest extent, and prefer the government to be poorer. The attitude of the officials is better, and they can also solve big problems.

Su Tiancheng often explained that the changes that have taken place in Shaanxi are actually two points: the first is to strive to let the people have food to eat, clothes to wear, and be able to maintain a basic life. The second is to play the role of merchants, let them trade, and the government collects taxes from the transactions. Having done these two things, Shaanxi began to change dramatically.

To do these two things, it is not as simple as it says. There are many things that need to be done and implemented, and if officials are not able to do their duty, they simply cannot do it.

As for the management of officials, Zhu Cihong also has a faint understanding, to see whether an official is qualified, whether he is conscientious, mainly depends on the local situation, if the people can have enough food and clothing, no matter from which aspect, the officials in this place are good, as for those morally excessively high requirements, or secondary.

Now Zhu Cihong is like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge and understanding, constantly enriching his brain, he feels that Professor Su Tiancheng's knowledge is more useful than what all teachers say.

Zhu Cihong didn't know that all this was carefully designed by Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng tried every means to let Zhu Cihong participate in handling government affairs, educate Zhu Cihong with living examples, let Zhu Cihong form a basic understanding, and abandon some pedantic things.

To do this, it takes a lot of energy, Su Tiancheng understands that Zhu Cihong is the future emperor, and his ideological understanding is related to the future development of the Ming Dynasty, and the possibility of influencing Zhu Youzhen is not too great, but he can still do it if he affects Zhu Cihong, and he must seize such an opportunity to let Zhu Cihong follow him as much as possible.

There must be an opportunity, it takes time to exterminate the Liukou, and it takes time to fight against Houjin, Zhu Cihong can follow these things, so a few years have passed, Zhu Cihong's understanding will change fundamentally.

From this aspect, influencing and infecting Zhu Cihong is Su Tiancheng's most important task.

"Master Su, I have a request."

Just finished dealing with government affairs, Su Tiancheng was ready to invite Zhu Cihong back to study, during this time, Fang Fengnian and Yao Minggong both had some opinions, mainly because Zhu Cihong could not calm down and listen to the class, he was always absent-minded, and the time could not be guaranteed, no matter what, cultural knowledge is also very important, Zhu Cihong is only ten years old after all, the knowledge that should be learned still has to be learned, and the knowledge that can be combined with reality is the most perfect.

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want?"

"I want to deal with government affairs, and it is best to be able to directly deal with the government affairs of Kuizhou Government or Fengjie County."

Su Tiancheng's eyes widened, looking at Zhu Cihong, he almost thought that he had heard it wrong, Zhu Cihong was only ten years old, how could he think of dealing with government affairs, children of this age, all he thought about was how to play and play.

"Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have such a request?"

"I've thought about it, my father is very tired every day, I must be familiar with government affairs as soon as possible, and be able to share my father's worries."

Su Tiancheng's body trembled slightly, fortunately, this is the Ming Dynasty, if it was in the Qing Dynasty, the young prince had such thoughts, wouldn't he become the target of everyone, what would the emperor think.

"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shares the emperor's worries, and the best thing to do is to be able to study hard and sharpen it well."

"I know all these truths, and the teacher has said a lot, but this time, I understand, I still have to be able to do things directly."

Su Tiancheng looked a little serious, he felt that Zhu Cihong was slowly forming his own understanding, but this understanding was not good, after all, Zhu Cihong was a prince, not an ordinary person.

"The minister does not approve of His Royal Highness the Prince's idea, nor does he support His Royal Highness the Prince's decision."

"What are you doing, I just wanted to try."

"The minister has two reasons, if the minister says something heavier, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be angry."

"Master Su, just say it."

"The first reason, dealing with local government affairs is a very serious matter, there needs to be continuity, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tries to act in government affairs, if some policies are introduced, whether they can be implemented and implemented, it is difficult to guarantee, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not familiar with local government affairs, and the decisions made will inevitably be biased, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves, the local officials will be very embarrassed, and I don't know how to handle it, so His Royal Highness the Prince's decision will definitely affect the locality."

"The second reason, His Royal Highness the Prince's identity is different, the coming day is not the purpose of governing a county, a prefecture, or a province, but to govern my Ming Dynasty, so His Royal Highness the Prince's mind cannot be placed in one place, and must focus on the overall situation."

Zhu Cihong was a little disappointed, but not convinced.

"Master Su, my father often said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you must be familiar with local affairs, I can experience it, and I can also be familiar with this process."

"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's idea is very good, and he wants to be familiar with government affairs, but the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's starting point is not right, and His Royal Highness the Prince's focus is not in this place."

"What did Master Su say about me?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince's focus is still on controlling the overall situation, to put it bluntly, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must learn the art of employing people, and the specific government affairs will be handled by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, His Royal Highness the Prince's focus is to choose the right person and choose a good person, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can think carefully about what the minister said, there is a specialization in the art industry, and what things need to be done in what position, the main responsibility of the farmer is to farm the land and be able to harvest grain, the duty of the scholar is to manage the place well, so that the people have enough food and clothing, and the duty of the businessman is to do a good job and earn silver, Everyone has their own focus, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's focus is to grasp the overall situation. ”

"I understand all this, but how can I grasp the overall situation."

"This needs to be learned, but the minister said that learning, not everything to do, if the farmer does the business business, the businessman does the farmer's thing, it must be chaotic, His Royal Highness the prince learned, the focus is the experience summed up by the predecessors, the minister thinks, His Royal Highness the prince can realize the hard work of the farmers, can realize that the acting government affairs are not simple, and the purpose of learning is achieved."

"But I don't think a lot of what I've learned is of much use."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be in charge of government affairs in the future, and he will know that these things are all useful. The minister can also give an example, if it is transgression, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin, as far as the minister is concerned, the minister must be loyal to the emperor, loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, what should the minister do, is to do a good job in the matter, exterminate the Liukou, so that the minister will serve the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince, but the emperor is different, the extermination of the Liukou is only one of many things, the emperor has to think of many, many things, for example, let the civil and military ministers in the court concentrate on acting government affairs, such things, the minister can not consider, Because this is not something that the minister can consider, if the minister thinks of these things, it is a rebellion. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, faintly understanding. (To be continued......)
