"For example, Yuan Guo, the vassal demon country who rebelled almost two hundred years ago!" Situ He lowered his voice, and if it weren't for He Lingchuan's good hearing, he would have almost lost his hearing. "I heard that there was an old man who was not afraid of trouble and wrote a book to vindicate Yuan Guo. As a result..."
He Lingchuan seemed to have heard it somewhere.
"That matter has been concluded and is not worth discussing." Jiang Tao immediately raised his glass, "Here, let me toast you all again!"
Situ He was about to say more, but Wang Mao looked at him as a warning, and he swallowed the rest of his words.
He Lingchuan also changed the topic of security:
"Bejia's neighbor, the Kite Kingdom, has a powerful enemy eyeing it to the north. Rebels are attacking the city in the west, and the officers and soldiers are unable to resist. The country has been hit by disasters one after another, mourning is everywhere, and even uprisings are occurring one after another in various places. If you are in charge of the government, what are the best strategies?"
Everyone clutched their wine glasses and thought hard. This was their favorite political issue.
After cultivating a lot of knowledge, isn’t it just to solve practical problems in the end?
Wang Mao first said: "If there is a disaster in the country and the civilians revolt, the people will not be able to survive. The first thing to do is to take care of the people's livelihood by paying light taxes and paying low taxes."
Another student shook his head: "Isn't there still a war in the west? Once taxes are reduced, where will the money be in the treasury? If the government and the army don't listen, they will be unable to resist. If they continue to cut down on clothing and food, then they will mutiny and turn into rebels?"
