Chapter 1909 Too many monks but too little porridge!
As he said this, Chai Shao's face became more solemn, and his eyes became deeper and sharper.
The gap between veterans and young people is further revealed.
I saw Xing Guogong's eyes as sharp as a knife. Although there was no hostility, the moment he looked at Li Sheng, the atmosphere in the hall was actually cold.
"If what the Holy King said is true, these counselors and generals should be scattered all over the world. The incident at Gaopingling and even the subsequent Rebellion of the Eight Kings should not have happened."
Chai Shao's face was extremely solemn. Looking at Li Sheng, he seemed to be looking at his life-long enemy, but also seemed to have thousands of heavy past events hanging in his mind.
It is the wish of any leader in the world to be surrounded by advisers like clouds and powerful generals like rain. However, the two generations of the Wei and Jin Dynasties obviously had such good fortunes, but in the end they all died unexpectedly. Even at the same time, the whole family also died.
Then he took his life.
How can people be calm with such serious consequences?
It was unclear whether Chai Shao had any hostility toward Li Sheng. The old man's face was simple, solemn, and extremely solemn.
At this time, we can see how important a country's "veteran generals" are. Often at critical moments, the life or death of an empire is saved by these veteran generals.
At this moment, Chai Shao's face undoubtedly showed an idea. If the economic imbalance in the Tang Dynasty was deliberately caused by Li Sheng, and if Li Sheng was not His Majesty's son, then even if he was not his opponent, he would risk his life to try to kill him.
!
On the other hand, now that I already know Li Sheng's identity, if Li Sheng is really secretly planning something shocking, I will have to report anything to His Majesty.
For someone as talented as Li Sheng, he was also extremely ambitious, and at the same time he had already accomplished a "part" of his ambition. For Chai Shao, this was really a major issue worth risking his life to solve.
This time.
Once again, the gap between veterans and young people was revealed. Although there was such a huge fighting spirit surging in Chai Shao's serious expression, in King Luo Bin's view, this old man whom he worshiped as his adoptive father
He...he is just wondering and thinking hard.
But Li Sheng saw it and said with a smile, "Why are Mr. Chai so nervous? This is bound to happen. When the army marches to fight, not everyone in the army is equal, but there are rewards and punishments, and the brave are rewarded.
And those who are cowardly will be punished. Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is promoting industry and economy. This is of course to let the people live a better life."
"But on the other hand, it might as well allow the overseas barbarians to live a better life... Then we will have a reason to collect the debt. Moral civilization, to put it bluntly, is rooted in the wilderness of heaven and earth. Which one thing has nothing to do with it?
Isn’t it for farming and fighting?”
"The imperial court has these strategies, and it has been carried out for so many years, just because the imperial court has to take this road. Why bother, Mr. Chai?"
Li Sheng shrugged when he said this, and didn't say anything more about drinking alone. What he meant was that Mr. Chai, you are already so old, why bother questioning the court? Although questioning is a good thing, you can't avoid bad things.
To question it is to ask for trouble.
Li Sheng's words were completely meant to persuade, which made Chai Shao stunned for a moment, and he understood what Li Sheng meant in an instant.
His face suddenly softened greatly.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that these things are indeed what Li Sheng said, and the court has no choice but to do it. In this case, it can only try to do something in the future to avoid negative effects.
but.
Although he understood what Li Sheng said, Chai Shao was still stunned by Li Sheng's fatherly advice.
Why does this sound like Li Sheng is completely unaware that his doubts are directed at him? And in these words, I can't tell that Li Sheng is pretending to be confused.
.In other words, if Li Sheng and others were purely subordinate and did not listen to his "accusation" just now, they would not feel that there was anything wrong with him at all!
This made Chai Shao, despite his age, still couldn't help but look like he was sweating and speechless.
Such a shameless prince is really rare in ancient times and modern times.
But then again, realizing Li Sheng's detached mentality, Chai Shao couldn't help but feel guilty and ashamed.
After doing this for a long time, Li Sheng really didn’t have any special plans for the things he had done for Datang over the years.
There is no need to think about the causes and consequences of this. Just by looking at his demeanor at this moment, it can be seen that this guy's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty is truly pure and pure.
Thinking about it this way, the thoughts I had just now were simply the thoughts of a villain!
Chai Shao was ashamed for a while, and he couldn't help himself at that moment. He poured himself a drink quickly, raised his glass and drank three glasses in a row without waiting for Li Sheng to clink his glasses. Li Sheng and King Luo Bin looked puzzled.
But thinking about it, since Li Sheng had no dangerous thoughts towards Datang, Chai Shao felt more relieved, thinking, since the hidden danger in this matter is only his own hidden danger...
Thinking of this, Chai Shao suddenly felt that his doubts were still unresolved.
What I wonder and don't understand is that since Datang has engaged in this kind of operation that harms the interests of some people to motivate others, then in the future.
Of course, this will not cause any problems at present, because basically everyone in Datang has equal opportunities.
Although there are still different origins, after the landmark incident of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes Get Out, generally speaking, the overall environment in China is basically fair. Even if the maritime merchants have become rich and powerful, the sailors and craftsmen have followed suit.
If the oil is flowing, the farmers in other fields will not complain - because the people who choose to farm in their hometown and choose to be happy are not others, not the choice made by the court for them, but themselves.
Then, after those who choose to leave their hometowns and go to sea to gain wealth in the wind and waves become rich, they will not have any complaints, and the court will have nothing to explain to anyone.
If we continue to calculate according to this trend, then the next step will be easy to say, just like what Li Sheng said.
As the craftsmen and sailors who went to sea, and most importantly, the merchants who had good brains and brave temperaments and borrowed money to buy ships and went to sea to fight for their lives, became rich, and those who followed saw how happy others were to make a fortune, and they went out to follow suit.
Of course, sea trade will become more and more developed, and sea-opening business will become smoother and smoother. This is certain, but as time goes by, the benefits and risks of sea trade will gradually decrease.
Of course, mature routes will gradually become extremely safe and even valuable for tourism, but the benefits will be meager, so there is nothing to say.
In this way, people seem to operate like that, just like the picture pointed out by Li Sheng.
