Chapter 206 One Solution
Su Ning knew very well in his heart that this opportunity is rare. If he gave up, he would definitely fail, so he looked suspiciously at Fang Tingting, who made his heart beat.
Fang Tingting opened her mouth first, "I'm sorry shopkeeper, please apologize to Shen Dacai on our behalf. There are still things at home, so we won't go up."
This made the shopkeeper a little embarrassed, "But you two answered the five lantern riddles correctly, and according to the rules, you can enjoy a rich meal and fine wine in our Zhuque Building,
Do you two want to give up this opportunity? "
"That's right, the shopkeeper should give this opportunity to others. My brother and I came to participate in this lantern riddle guessing just for fun."
"pastime?"
The shopkeeper was a little speechless, it was rare for someone to be able to answer the five lantern riddles, and he could answer them so well.
Just giving up the opportunity like this is really unbelievable.
Besides, shen's talented women usually don't find someone to eat, so she almost let her go.
It's really unbelievable, but people don't want to and they can't force it.
Looking at Shen Yihan upstairs, she also seemed a little surprised.
It's unbelievable that someone turned down the request to have dinner with him.
When she wanted to invite the two of them again, she found that Fang Tingting and Suning had already begun to say goodbye.
Leaving the scene directly made people feel a little confused.
Suning and Fang Tingting here bid farewell to the shopkeeper and walked home together.
Although there is no curfew tonight, they still don't want to play so late.
On the way, Fang Tingting was very excited about today's experience.
It seems that I am still immersed in the atmosphere of playing lantern riddles just now, unable to extricate myself.
"Brother, you are so smart, I didn't expect you to be so accomplished in literature!"
"I usually like to read some books, so I still have some understanding of this aspect."
"I think you are even more powerful than that Wang Sansi Wang wit."
"Is that Wang Sansi very powerful?"
"Wang Sansi was able to get the champion back then, but he didn't want to be an official, so he just gave up the imperial examination and went home to be an idle poet."
This made Suning a little confused. Why is there no record of such an awesome person in later generations?
There is a famous historical figure with a name similar to his, and his name is left in the history books.
That is Wu Zetian's elder brother, Wu Sansi.
But this man is a treacherous minister, and he was domineering during Wu Zetian's time.
What's more, this Wang Sansi likes to compose poems so much, and there is no one of his poems handed down in later generations.
It shows that his level is not very good, no wonder.
From his performance just now, it can be seen that this person's level is indeed limited.
Cleverness is cleverness, but this kind of cleverness is not enough to be famous forever.
It is even more impossible to leave a bad reputation for thousands of years, and can only live an ordinary life.
He is not well-known in later generations, but Shen Yihan is very interested in him.
You must know that a woman can win the first prize, which was something that was unimaginable in ancient times.
Because the imperial examination champions are all men's affairs, their fundamental task is to support their husbands and children at home.
In ancient times, it can be said that it is very remarkable to be able to compete with many men for the top spot in the high school entrance examination.
But this era is destined to be an era when she has talents but cannot display them. Isn't she just covering her face with a veil all day long?
It sounds pitiful not to be able to show people with their true colors.
A great time wasted, and there is a great talent.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Suning.
Talking and laughing with Fang Tingting all the way, the two returned home.
Early the next morning, Suning was summoned by Li Shimin.
It was originally about salt, but last time Suning gave a new method of purifying salt.
That is very useful, and the production of salt has also increased significantly. The reason why Suning came here today is to discuss whether to privatize salt.
After all, so much salt is monopolized by the court, and the people below have some opinions.
It would be fine if the salt was cheap, but the point is that it is too expensive.
The common people should have opinions. After privatization, there will be competition.
The price of salt will definitely drop significantly, but how should it be privatized.
This is the most important thing. After all, the salt fields, salt wells, and salt mines are all in the hands of the imperial court.
Speaking of which, these are Li Shimin's private property.
It is definitely unrealistic for salt merchants to come to the court to purchase salt, because this is how it was done in the past.
This is not privatization at all, but a monopoly by the court.
But now the privatization of salt is a big trend, because the price will come down.
The common people want to eat cheap salt, and it is still good salt.
So Li Shimin called Suning to discuss what should be done.
Of course, Suning wasn't the only one who came.
There are also Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
When Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, there was a good story about Fang Mou's decision.
It can be said that these two people are Li Shimin's think tank. Without them, Li Shimin might have disappeared in the long river of history.
Not only Fang Xuanling, but also Du Ruhui.
There are Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and others on the side. These people are now divided into two factions.
That is to agree to privatization, and to disagree with privatization.
Those who disagree with privatization also have their own reasons, that is, these salts can provide a lot of money for the treasury.
If there is less income from the salt, the treasury will be empty.
After all, in Datang now, salt is the main source of taxation.
This tradition has continued from the Han Dynasty to the present, and it can be said that it has never changed.
The intrusive privatization of salt made some old-fashioned ministers a little bit unbearable.
An empty treasury is a big problem. Where will the court get money to fight the war?
What to use to resist the invasion of the Turks, you must know that the Turks are still eyeing it.
If Datang had no money, there would be no way to increase armaments.
Tang Jun's combat effectiveness will definitely drop sharply.
At that time, if they lose to the Turks, it will be the people of Datang who will suffer.
So they insist that privatization is not a good thing, so they oppose the privatization of salt.
But those who support privatization also have their own reasons, that is, to allow the common people to eat better salt.
This is related to people's livelihood and well-being, and it cannot be sloppy.
Privatization is the general trend for them, so the two sides are arguing.
So much so that Li Shimin was alarmed and asked him to come up with an idea.
But Li Shimin was also hesitant, and what both sides said made sense.
For a while, he didn't know who to speak for, so Li Shimin thought of Suning.
He is well-informed and courageous.
I must be able to come up with my own opinions to help myself think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
He started to deal with the ministers who split into two factions, so this problem fell on Suning's head.
Suning naturally knew what Li Shimin was thinking, and was speechless for a while.
Why do you always ask yourself to deal with this kind of thing? It's a mess.
No matter which side you support, you will offend the other side.
This is simply digging a hole for yourself.
In fact, Suning had to do this. If he continued to do this, he would definitely be causing trouble for himself.
