Chapter 64: Managing a big country is like cooking a small delicacy. Su Hu, Jiang Hengchu and others all looked at Li Yuan. They wanted to see if Li Yuan dared to accept the move. Is it really as boasted by Shang Rong, Bigan and others? genuine talent.

Li Yuan calmly took a piece of Millennium Seed, and then calmly asked Ji Chang:"What's the problem with Lao Ji?"

Ji Chang automatically filtered out Li Yuan's strange name and asked:

"In your opinion, how can we govern a country well? Li

Yuan smiled faintly and said,"Old Ji, your question is big enough and general enough." Ji

Chang also smiled and said:

"Mainly Lao Shang,"

Well, a slip of the tongue,

"Prime Minister Shang and Prime Minister Bigan have often mentioned my little friend in my ears these days. The two prime ministers are full of praise for my little friend's talent. Therefore, I asked my little friend for advice on a question that I found most difficult. I wonder if my little friend can help me solve my doubts? Li

Yuan picked up a piece of fried small yellow croaker with chopsticks and said in a relaxed tone:

"This is an easy question. Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes."

"puff!"

Chonghou Hu couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Yuan's answer.

He teased Li Yuan with a sarcastic face:

"I thought you would say some shocking words about governance, but I didn’t expect you to compare governing a country with cooking fish. Can the two be the same? It's better to meet someone than to be famous, and it's better to be famous than to meet someone."

E Chongyu and Jiang Hengchu also looked disappointed. They felt that Li Yuan was trying to please others.

Su Hu was so angry that his face turned black. He felt embarrassed.

When Daji heard Chonghou Hu laughing at her brother, she looked angry. She was blushing, and she wanted to stand up and help her brother, but unfortunately, she didn't know how to govern the country, so she had to worry.

Only Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu, and Deng Jiugong knew that Li Yuan would not act without aim, so they looked calm.

However, In fact, they didn’t understand what this clear statement about governing a country that all primary school students in later generations meant.

Ji Chang was stunned for a moment. He also felt that Li Yuan’s name was not worthy of his name.

However, when he thought about it in his mind,"Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.""After saying this, he suddenly felt that this sentence was full of charm and seemed to contain some kind of philosophy.

Therefore, he did not laugh at Li Yuan, but asked Li Yuan humbly:

"What you said is too profound. I wonder if you can explain to us what it means to"govern a big country like cooking small dishes".’?"

When Chonghou Hu saw that Ji Chang was still asking Li Yuan for advice, the smile on his face couldn't help but he asked Ji Chang in confusion:

"Didn't Xibohou see that this man had no real talent or knowledge? Why are you still asking him for advice?"

Ji Chang said with a pleasant look:

"I think what you said makes sense to a certain extent, but I still can’t fully understand the meaning contained in it, so I specifically asked you for advice."

"Makes sense?"Chonghou Hu looked surprised.

Jiang Hengchu and Su Hu also showed surprise, and couldn't help but began to savor the words"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies."

Li Yuan looked calm and calm from beginning to end, not because of Chongchu. Hou Hu's ignorance and ridicule showed no embarrassment.

When he saw that Ji Chang was gentle and conceited and could ask questions without shame, he couldn't help but nodded in approval.

No wonder Ji Chang could replace King Zhou and dominate the country. He really has his own merits.

Compared with The three great princes, Chonghou Hu, Jiang Hengchu, and E Chongyu, are not a little bit stronger.

Li Yuan said to Ji Chang with approval:

"Lao Ji is not bad. She doesn’t understand but knows how to ask. Unlike Lao Chong, he didn’t understand the philosophy behind my words. Not only did he not know how to ask, but he even mocked me without thinking."

"you……"

Seeing that Li Yuanzhong had insulted him without thinking, Chonghou Hu was so angry that his face was as black as carbon.

If Wen Zhong hadn't respected Li Yuan, even Chonghou Hu would have wanted to fall out in public.

"Huh, I'd like to hear what truth you can tell me." Chong Houhu said angrily.

Ji Chang heard Li Yuan's approval, but he was also a little bit dumbfounded.

It was said to be approval, but he felt it was more like sarcasm.

However, Ji Chang was not angry, but looked expectantly. He looked at Li Yuan and waited for Li Yuan's explanation.

Li Yuan did not whet everyone's appetite and explained:

"Those who cook small delicacies should not be scratched, and those who govern a large country should not be annoyed. If you are annoyed, you will hurt people, and if you are scratched, the fish will rot!"

The meaning of this sentence is that when frying small fish, you should not turn it over and over again. If you turn it over and over, the fish will rot easily. When governing a big country, those in power should not be impatient or repeat government orders. Being irritated and repeating government orders can easily lead to confusion and incomprehensible government orders..

The saying"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies" comes from Laozi's Tao Te Ching.

And"Those who cook small delicacies must not be bothered; those who govern a big country must not be annoyed."……"This sentence is Tang Xuanzong's comment on"governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies".

Almost every person in power in later generations will use this sentence to encourage themselves or warn others.

After listening to Li Yuan's words, Shang Rong, Bigan and others suddenly realized as if they were enlightened.

"That’s what it means. This metaphor is indeed appropriate."

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. The more you taste it, the more wonderful it becomes."

Ji Chang was so excited that he exclaimed:

"Seconds, seconds, governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies, and it indeed contains the principles of governing a country."

He looked at Li Yuan eagerly, and his long beard couldn't stop trembling with excitement. This man is simply the good-looking person he has been looking for.

"As expected, Mr. Ji was very talented, and Ji Chang admired him endlessly."Excited, Ji Chang actually stood up and bowed to Li Yuan.

He also called Li Yuan"Mr."

You know, the word"Mr." is equivalent to a teacher. Only those with outstanding insights can Only those with talent and talents are worthy of the title of sir.

This shows how excited Ji Chang is.

Chong Houhu, Jiang Hengchu, and Su Hu can't help but change their views on Li Yuan now.

They are not idiots, so naturally they will listen. After understanding Li Yuan's explanation, she suddenly felt that Li Yuan was really talented and capable of governing the country.

Daji saw that her brother had made the princes in the room admire him with just one sentence, and his little face suddenly smiled brighter than a flower. It was simply She was even happier than when she was praised.

Li Yuan did not appear complacent because of everyone's praise. He still ate the food and drank the wine calmly and calmly.

After Ji Chang bowed, he asked Li Yuan:

"Mr. Wang's words,"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies" are indeed wonderful and enlightening. Ji Chang also has a question that he would like to ask his friend for advice, and he also hopes that his teacher can give him some advice. Li Yuan:"

Say.""

Ji Chang:"I don't know what to do to make the country strong?"

This question is much more difficult than the one just now. What

Ji Chang asked just now was how to govern a country well. This can be answered in a very general way, as long as it can be explained with convincing truth.

But"let the country become The problem of"making the country strong and prosperous" requires concrete and feasible methods. This cannot be solved by just saying a few words.

Almost all those in power will face this problem - making the country strong. But since ancient times, it has been possible to However, very few people gave satisfactory answers.
