These young people have chosen to give up their "residence" and run out to become pirates. In this situation, no matter how quietly you, Datang, help them, they still have to survive in a completely unfamiliar foreign land amidst hardships and dangers.
Under this situation, no matter how good your gesture is, no one can be grateful to you!
At first, you may feel that it is great and happy to have support from your hometown in China. Then, if a few generations pass by and your thoughts and emotions develop, you may become very close to your motherland, China.
But in the middle part of these two stages - that is, the stage where these young pirates can exert a relatively hard-core influence on the strategic chessboard currently faced by all parties, it is definitely impossible to accept anyone's sentiments.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty could give them titles after these young pirates really matured and became grass-headed kings who ruled over each other. This way, they could also gather these guys under their command and work together to defeat the enemy.
.
At that stage, people themselves don’t lack anything. Even if you give them something, it won’t do much to improve their life, strategic situation, or improvement at that stage.
In short, these guys have gone overseas to stand on their own feet after all. No matter who they are, they are not the "real bosses" who are really responsible for their lives. It is inevitable that their thoughts will become more and more independent as time goes by.
In fact, these things are not very complicated, and Li Sheng explained them in just a few words. Although the two historical stars and two seniors in front of him both looked dull, Li Sheng felt that what he said was very clear.
, so he continued to drink and eat on his own.
Although, there is actually another reason why Li Sheng chose to come to Qiongzhou Island to settle down, and that is,
Firstly, because Datang now has railways - traveling from south to north is no longer a "travel" as it was in the past. Any long-distance journey is a journey in the true sense.
The second is that by settling down on Qiongzhou Island, he can realize the fantasy of his previous life and enjoy eating seafood every day. Therefore, after the blue manor on Qiongzhou Island was built, Li Sheng also worked hard every day to enjoy the realization.
A wonderful experience of fantasy.
However, Li Xiaogong was stunned when he heard what Li Sheng said.
This is not because I didn’t understand, but because I understood it this time.
Now, there is no doubt. What Li Sheng said is undoubtedly correct.
However, isn't this a bit strange?
I obviously came to teach Li Sheng, but in the end, what am I? Prince's Young Master, aren't you turning into Prince's primary school student in an instant???
Li Xiaogong never expected that he would be taught another lesson by Li Sheng if he was not careful.
This feeling is really, so sour and refreshing.
However, after all, Li Xiaogong was also a pillar minister of the Tang Dynasty, so he still had the goods in his stomach, and at least he still had the psychological quality to adapt to the situation.
So he quickly calmed down, and thought that since Li Sheng didn't seem to need to teach or impart anything to him, he should say something. However, once he calmed down, Li Xiaogong also thought of something more important, that is,
In fact, no matter how much Li Sheng understands these things, that is, the art of manipulation and manipulation that His Majesty asked him to talk about.
Even if Li Sheng does have something new here and has a high level of understanding, it does not mean that he has rich experience.
Isn't the Tang Dynasty currently competing with Rome?
Well, as the struggle becomes increasingly fierce in the future, Datang will definitely need to use more various methods.
After all, real hegemony is not a game, and there are no warm feelings or civilized rules to talk about. If you have a chance to cheat, you must cheat, because your opponent will definitely cheat. If you can cheat, you must cheat, because your opponent will definitely cheat.
In this case, I can at least talk to Li Sheng about the importance of experience.
How do you say that?
Knowing is knowing, but it does not mean omniscience. To truly achieve omniscience, you still need experience, because only when combined with experience can precious knowledge become instinct and become human hands and feet.
In this way, picking leaves and flying flowers will have the effect of hurting people.
Although I am not sure whether Li Sheng will really become a prince in the future, this scene shows the level of scheming of the Hejian County Prince.
Li Xiaogong couldn't help but secretly feel proud. If it were Li Sheng, he would definitely not have such a profound understanding. This understanding is - no matter whether Li Sheng will become the prince in the future, he should complete the errands assigned by His Majesty to the letter, and then act resolutely and resolutely.
Hiding, disappearing, not appearing in anyone's field of vision, avoiding all the focus of attention, this is the way to long-lasting wealth.
So then, Li Sheng coughed slightly, cleared his throat, and started to lecture Li Sheng.
"Well, Your Highness the Holy King, I have something to say."
Because it was a wine table, of course Li Xiaogong did not claim to be a "someone" with more obvious professional characteristics, but a more cordial "old man".
However, what he didn't notice was that because he called himself "Old Man", Li Sheng's alertness and tension were eliminated a lot, and he felt particularly relaxed.
Seeing that the old man was still interested in chatting, he was also in a lively conversation, so he directly interrupted Li Xiaogong's unspoken words and said directly, "Actually, even if the Tang Dynasty does nothing, these pirate boys will not really give up to Rome.
No matter how many benefits the Romans gave them."
"For them, they always have a reason not to cooperate with the Romans. However, on the other hand, it is actually necessary for Datang to give them something."
"Ah?" Li Xiaogong was suddenly taught a lesson inexplicably by Li Sheng, and he finally adjusted his mentality. This time, he changed his mind again.
Li Xiaogong was speechless now. Staring at Li Sheng, he felt like his head was a little dizzy.
How come this matter to the imperial court has become necessary again!
"Although we do not form an alliance with them, we will not add a general to the Romans to deal with the Tang Dynasty in the future. However, this is a general situation, but there are some that are not so general, so it is hard to say."
Li Sheng told the stories nonchalantly, as if they were all stories about people he knew personally, "There are some people who are more arrogant. These guys tend to have more martial virtues. Once he really feels that the Romans are kind to him, he may actually be kind to him."
Will help the Romans."
"So, the imperial court should be concerned about this issue. It is okay not to give too many benefits to these heroes from overseas places, because it is not necessary, but it is not good not to give them, so it is better to give them more."
