Li Yuanxing's sixteen-character mantra silenced everything Li Er, Li Yuan and Li Jing said.
Is it scary?
After thinking deeply about it, the three people who had been fighting in the killing field for a long time felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
Instead, Li Yuanxing specifically added at this time: "If grandpa is the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, there is only one way I can use it. That is to kill everyone in the enemy country, everyone!"
Li Yuanxing said everyone twice in a row.
Li Er shook his head gently: "Wu Lang, the Tang Dynasty ruled the world with virtue. We can't kill, and we don't dare to kill. Fortunately, the enemy army is not under the command of my uncle, but there is a way to defeat it."
The cabinet master smiled and lit up a cigarette: "Actually, it's not that scary, it's just Baiyue. It's just a time to train troops for the Tang Dynasty. The real enemy is still far away. That's when the test will be. Yuan Xing, you may have carried another person on your back.
The famous work "On Protracted War"."
Li Yuanxing smiled bitterly: "That is a masterpiece, whether you are on the defensive side or on the offensive side. Reading this book will benefit you a lot. I have it, but I have never dared to spread it. In case anyone reads it,
Not to mention anything else, it was Goguryeo and the Japanese who beat me to death."
"There is such a art of war? I wonder if it was written by that great sage?" Li Jing asked curiously.
"This book is not an art of war, it should be a kind of strategic thought. It can be said that it is higher than the art of war, but it is also derived from the art of war. It is a book that was produced in a specific environment and a specific background. The sixteen words just now
The mantra is a part of the art of war in this book." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he turned to look at the cabinet master: "Grandpa, is it appropriate for me to say this?"
The cabinet master nodded slightly: "You have scratched the surface."
This is just scratching the surface. Li Er and the other three people already think that Li Yuanxing's words are excellent. It can be said that he has raised the war to a whole new level. But it is only scratching the surface.
Li Yuanxing laughed: "One more thing, war is an extension of politics?"
"Well, I'll give you ten points!" The cabinet master still didn't show any satisfaction.
At this time, Li Er said for Li Yuanxing: "There is an article by Wu Lang on the Five Wars. Among them, cultural war and political war are the core, and the last is the theory of military confrontation. Silla and Baekje were won without fighting. This is already
What a great achievement!”
"Actually, Yuan Xing's work is pretty good. The last difficulty of this theory still needs to be overcome. With our land of China as the center, the surrounding small countries are more or less affected by our Chinese civilization, so civilized invasion is feasible. But if the other party's
The cultural background and beliefs are completely different from those of China. This is the final full score question!"
Li Yuanxing shook his head helplessly: "I can't cure it. I can't think of any solution except forced enslavement."
"It seems that this old man like me still has some uses." The cabinet master laughed: "I have studied for fifty years and learned a trick from the whip, which is called anti-fusion. The first is to shave my head, and finally I will keep the whip until I die.
.What is the relationship between this, Wulang? What do you think of it? First find a family to do an experiment!"
Li Yuanxing understood, but Li Er was even more confused.
"Grandpa set up a school in my house. This theory cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. There are some excellent generals in the Tang Dynasty. It is useful to listen to grandpa's strategies. To deal with Baiyue, we must retrain our troops, and grandpa also helps
I’ll train 50,000 elites. Then, let’s use Ah San for this test!”
"Yuan Xing, you have finally grown up!" After the cabinet master praised him, he said, "You need to practice military training. You also need to talk about the military theory of each general. But I still need a group of people, the number of which is not less than a thousand.
Grassroots officers. Many tactics are executed by the captain level, so they must be trained first."
After the cabinet master finished speaking, Li Yuanxing explained to Li Er: "Brother Emperor, Baiyue is difficult to fight. The supply line is too long and the terrain is too complex. Moreover, we and the Tang Dynasty are of different races. This needs to be considered in the long term, at least three years.
. But the problem now is that the surrounding areas of Datang are full of prey. It is impossible for Datang to go to full-scale war, let alone fight every year. This problem requires the emperor to find a solution, and the steps taken in the past two years are too big and not solid.
!”
Li Er pointed at Li Jing: "The pharmacist is the official of Zhongshu Ling. He comes and thinks of solutions!"
Li Jing looked embarrassed. He didn't accept the words, and it didn't matter if he didn't.
Answered the call. He couldn't solve this problem.
If you don't answer the call, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will be left empty-handed.
"That's all, let's settle the peninsula first. As for Baiyue, let's occupy a small area first and then discuss it later!" After the cabinet master made a suggestion, Li Jing hurried down the slope and said: "The Emperor Xian is absolutely right!"
"Well, now everyone goes back to their homes and sleeps?" Li Yuanxing smiled.
Li Er glared at Li Yuanxing: "Uncle, go back to rest first, Wu Lang will stay."
Li Yuan smiled and asked the cabinet master to leave with him. He planned to personally take the cabinet master to his resting place. Li Jing also left.
When Li Yuanxing and Li Er were alone in the study, Li Er opened a bottle of wine, told Eunuch Gao to get some side dishes, and then he and Li Yuanxing moved to sit at the small table.
"Wulang, in our lifetime, can we see what you said: Where there is sunshine, there is the flag of the Tang Dynasty?"
"This is not difficult, but it is difficult to see in my lifetime that the entire world is the land of the Tang Dynasty. So I say that the emperor should start taking care of himself now. Sun Laodao's health care skills are good, and all the third-rate elixirs in the Taoist sect are all
It’s a lie, there is no immortality.”
Li Er agreed with what Li Yuanxing said.
After nodding, Li Er asked again: "Wu Lang, what are your strategic ideas for the next five years?"
Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately and sat there silently.
Li Er didn't urge him, he just looked at the sheets about the autumn harvest report.
A full half an hour passed.
Li Yuanxing has been thinking about everything he has done since he came to Datang, as well as his original plans and everything.
"Brother Imperial, let me tell you a few mistakes first!"
"Say it!" Li Er put down the watch in his hand and signaled to Li Yuanxing that he could start.
"Let me talk about the biggest mistake first. I think that I don't have much time and want to leave more for the Tang Dynasty. So many things are done very radically. Let me start with the first point, which is industrialization. When agriculture does not have enough guarantees
, Industrialization will directly lead to a substantial increase in productivity, and a large number of various non-agricultural items will appear. When people have no money, when there are too many goods, it will become a burden."
Li Er has read political economics and understands what Li Yuanxing said.
"My solution is to keep going to war. I rely on fighting to increase my income, and then rely on fighting to consume too many non-food materials. But in order to maintain the victory of the war, I ordered the construction of flying boats. If the flying boats were built in the last five years of the Tang Dynasty,
The cost will drop to one-third, so this is a huge waste of financial resources, materials and manpower!”
"So, according to me, stop fighting. But now it is impossible not to fight. I have done something to quench my thirst by drinking poison. Only war can eliminate domestic consumption contradictions."
"People's livelihood requires rest!" Li Er gave an evaluation.
"In the next five years, wars will still be fought, but there will no longer be national wars. The Tang Dynasty will use all its national power to increase the income of the people. Even so, the income growth of the people still cannot keep up with the growth of the Tang Dynasty.
The explosive growth of various goods requires another war. This war is different from occupying land, but occupying resources and occupying the market. Let Datang's materials be sold without limit. Li Lanshan's theoretical knowledge
Higher than me."
Li Er thought about it carefully and realized that what Li Yuanxing said belonged to the mindset of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
Nothing wrong!
"Next June, annex the entire peninsula and begin to complete the integration. The goal of the integration is to make the peninsula a easing point for conflicts between various classes in the Tang Dynasty. They have cheap labor and they have huge material needs. This is the idea. Continue
Come down, I still need to think about the Japanese island matter. When we attack Baiyue, Master Cabinet is here. It’s just a matter of time. Master Cabinet, like me, doesn’t like too many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to die!"
Li Yuanxing loved soldiers, and Li Er knew this.
Now that Li Yuanxing said this, Li Er also understood it and believed that Li Yuanxing was influenced by the cabinet master.
"The real war against Baiyue will be two years later. Within these two years, some seaports in Baiyue may be occupied for the entry and exit of Datang merchant ships. Starting next year, Datang will fully develop agriculture and light industry that are basic to people's livelihood. The Emperor
What do you think, brother?"
"This is a very good proposal. But just a word from you, Wu Lang, will make all the officials busy to death." There was something in Li Er's words.
That means that when you Li Yuanxing talked about developing people's livelihood, the Tang Dynasty was so big. For each state and county, this was such a huge and detailed workload.
"Just add some more officials appropriately."
"Officials need to be supported by the court!" Li Er smiled, obviously adding more officials is not an easy task.
"Then I have two suggestions. The first one is that officials should no longer allocate fields, but only pay them money. That is, you can buy whatever you want according to how much salary you get as an official every month. Don't allocate fields anymore.
Another suggestion is to find a way to take back all the fiefs, and the titles are divided into real titles and virtual titles."
Hearing what Li Yuanxing said, Li Er asked: "Then, if there is no fiefdom, only money will be given?"
Li Yuanxing nodded.
Li Er shook his head: "Wu Lang, how much money do you have as a treasury?"
"Cui Junsu believes that after the tax is changed, the national treasury will be tight for one to two years. I don't think so. After the tax system is changed, the tax may be higher than before in the first year. Brother, don't underestimate the commercial tax.
In terms of income, now we just need to make business taxes more reasonable. Also, support government-run workshops, and the profits from this workshop will belong to the treasury. Just one flour mill in Chang'an is enough to support all the officials below the third grade in Chang'an!"
The government-run workshop, after Li Er thought about it, shook his head and refused.
"It's not feasible. You will not compete with the people for profit. This principle cannot be easily destroyed. When you and I are alive, there are restrictions. What about the future? So this hole cannot be opened."
Li Yuanxing shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, let's change the idea. How about choosing a few selectively? How about the official one?"
"For example?" Li Er asked back.
"Fertilizer factories, pesticide factories, patent medicine factories, steel and other metal raw material refining plants. And..." Li Yuanxing hesitated a little. Government-run real estate is definitely not a good thing. Although it is very profitable, it is also very corrupt.
