Ada was eloquent at the age of seven. Because of his outstanding talent, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty directly named him Prince Zhengzi, which is the youngest age in history to be an official. Ada has been a big and small official all his life, but he has been in charge of finance. In ancient times, the main income of national finance was tax. For the country, the more taxes, the better, but for the people, too much taxes will make them miserable and unable to survive, so this kind of work is thankless. After the Anshi Rebellion, the economy of the Tang Dynasty was even more depressed, which is also the reason why Ada was reused. I hope to give full play to his financial management skills.
Ada has two great achievements in history. The first is to dredge the grain transportation. He personally went to the scene to understand the actual situation and finally came up with a solution. He demanded that all the rivers must be dredged and repaired, so that the rivers can be connected by ships and the north-south economy can be connected. This is the same as the road we are talking about now. In terms of ancient technical means, the cost of dredging rivers is lower. Dredging rivers requires funds. Ada didn't ask the state for money, but used the money he used when he was a salt and iron envoy. This shows that Ada dares to innovate.
His second achievement was to enliven the salt industry, which we all know was an important economic lifeline of the country in ancient times. In this case, Ada first developed a better salt steaming tool, requiring a unified process when making salt, which greatly increased the output of salt, broadened the sales channels at the same time, made it more convenient for people to buy, and made the country more profitable. Later, after the governance of Ada, the salt industry can reach 6 million yuan every year.
Later, Ada helped the Tang Dynasty solve the economic crisis. For a country, economy is the lifeblood of development. At that time, the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty was also due to the efforts of Ada and related personnel, who formulated more policies to promote economic development.
