Chapter 209: Six Strategies for Rejuvenating the Country
Today is the last day of 11 years, and tomorrow is the national calendar. On January 1, 2012, I wish everyone all their wishes come true, their careers come true, their studies come true, their love is sweet, their family is happy, their wealth is rising step by step! I wish the elderly good health, their children grow up quickly! I wish the world peace, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and I wish you happiness...
The hall finally calmed down, and all the ministers listened attentively. [ ]
Long Dingtian opened the memorial, coughed twice, and began to read: "Although I am in the border, I care about the country. Although I am in the northwest, I am in the heart of the people. Whenever I read history books and see the history of the wind and country bullying me, I cannot be ignorant at night and cannot sleep and eat! My country's people are kind-hearted and friendly, united, and etiquette. They often give kindness to the four barbarians and often spread rain and dew around them. Why are they still bullied? This is why people are good, and horses should be bullied? Not all! Among the wild beasts, the weak prey on the strong, and the ferocious beasts feed on docile beasts. The same is true between the countries!"
"In ancient times, there were many countries with small lands, surrounded by strong enemies, but they lasted for thousands of years and were immortal. Why? Unite, develop, everyone practices martial arts, everyone is proficient in military tactics, and the whole people are soldiers. Therefore, strong enemies are afraid of them and dare not attack them, so they can stand tall! But our country has a vast territory and many heroes emerged, but they are attacked by others. It is really not."
"Whenever I think of this, I feel heartbroken. Although I am on the verge of battle, there are spies coming to report that Cheng Heizi has summoned elites from all over the world to practice troops, practice martial arts, practice formations, raise horses, build bows, produce swords and guns, and always aim to destroy our great peace country. The wolf's ambition is obvious!"
"Where can you allow others to sleep peacefully? How can you hang swords and guns above your head? Although I have defeated Cheng Heizi, if I continue to follow this, my country will definitely be in danger! Therefore, I look for ancient and modern classics, think about solutions, and come to the conclusion that if I defeat the Feng Kingdom, I must first strengthen my country's body!"
"If a person is weak, external evil will invade and become sick! If the country is poor and the will is weak, foreign enemies will invade and become dead! If a person is strong, all diseases will not invade. If the country is strong, all nations will come to pay tribute!"
"How can a strong country be strong? It is not a waste of troops to redeem martial arts! A country is strong and the people are rich. Once there is a war, all strengths will gather together, and the enemy will be defeated. My brother's wish is to be prosperous and the country is rich and the people are strong, and all enemies will not be defeated. However, when I travel, I see the people suffering, officials are ineffective, and robbers are rampant. In this way, without the need for foreign enemies to invade, the country will be sick. How can I resist the enemy outside the country?"
"I have proposed the public car the day before yesterday, and then thought about it day and night, and put forward the following ideas. Although it is novel, it is actually a wonderful strategy for a strong country. I hope the emperor will decide!"
After reading this, all the ministers empathized with it, felt that Hua Shenguang was very reasonable, and everyone understood the meaning of the conversation and understood the spirit. Long Dingtian looked at the ministers, nodded gently, and continued to read: "First, the style of martial arts. Wen is the strategy of governing the country, and martial arts is the foundation of a strong country. My brother suggested that in the name of the country, people who practice martial arts in the country should be honored by those who practice martial arts in the country. Regardless of men, women, young and old, those who reach the second level of the body will be rewarded with five taels, and those who reach the third level of the body will be rewarded with ten taels, and those who reach the fourth level of the body will be rewarded with fifty taels. Above the fourth level, there will be no more rewards. The country records its name and awards hero medals or other spiritual rewards. Those who serve the country as they wish should be valued and responsible for the responsibility of all regions.
Head captain, military squadron leader, commander and other positions. If any sect in the martial arts sect is willing to use it for the country, teach martial arts skills, and recruit disciples, the sect will set up a battle lottery sales point, and the sect can account for 30% of the profit. Any physical body of the sect will be more than seven levels, and the titles of martial arts elites in the Daping Kingdom will be given preferential treatment and family members, so that they can feel the warmth of the country. From next year, the military examination will be held annually, the same as the literary examination, the selection of top martial artists, and the outstanding ones will be awarded official positions, and the position will be held in large and small positions in various places, and the status will be equivalent to that of civil officials. In this way, the style of martial arts is rampant and the people will be physically improved. If there is an enemy attack, and they will encounter military personnel everywhere, how can they attack our territory?"
"Secondly, promote business. Different productions in different regions and different situations in different provinces. When the material flows, the people of all regions can benefit and can quickly mobilize various materials in wartime. My brother thinks that businessmen should pay equal attention to business and farmers, encourage merchants to become bigger and stronger, and encourage merchants to make more money. Establish special ministers to be in charge of business. For merchants in various places, one is to manage, and two is to promote, publish advertisements, and encourage business. VAT is also established to establish value-added tax, state protection, and encourage business, and businessmen in various places will also make money and treasures. The state collects one or two percent of taxes, which can be sufficient for the national treasury, and also use this silver to increase support for business, such as sending troops to protect caravans in various dangerous areas, crack down on robbers, etc.."
"Third, to promote education. The national plan is the basis. I see that the schools in various places are broken, and many children have never studied. When they grow up, they are ignorant of their children. They have low quality and are in their entirety. They are all unprosperous. They are all the faults of education. I suggest that more schools are set up in various places, and all children must study when they are six years old. If there are poor people, they will be paid in advance by officials from all over the country, and they will be temporarily owed tuition fees. When they grow up or have money, they will be returned to the local government. In the long run, countless talents will surely emerge and be used by the country. Everyone in my country knows about writing and etiquette. Wouldn't it be prosperous?"
"Fourth, to build roads. Buses, commerce, and carriages and horses all need a flat road. My brother suggests that people from all over the world should mobilize people from all over the world to build roads widely. To promote the principle that if you want to be rich, you should first build roads. If the roads are flat and wide, then the popularity will naturally be strong, and there will be many people coming and going, and all places will be prosperous and prosperous in all times!"
"Fifth, fight the bandits. The evil people in all places are far away from the mountains and forests, and they do many evil deeds. My brother suggests to fight to the death. If there are stubborn bandits and bandits that cannot be destroyed in various places, they will send troops to wipe out or call on people from all martial arts to kill them, and reward the person or the sect where they are located, recruit disciples, and open martial arts grounds. In the long run, the country will be quiet everywhere, and the people who come and go will not be worried and will be peaceful everywhere."
"Sixth, Qing officials. I suggest that the emperor personally select upright people to supervise officials in various places. If there is any corruption, abuse of power, and use power to seek personal gain, and not to be punished for the people, he will be severely punished. Moreover, if the above five articles can be implemented as soon as possible and set an example, he will be promoted from them and promoted to high-ranking officials. Otherwise, he will be removed from the officials and demoted, and the rewards and punishments will be clearly distinguished. The responsibilities of officials are to serve the people in everything, so that the officials will be governed with clarity. Using my advice as the basis for evaluating officials can also promptly implement the suggestions as soon as possible, so that our Daping Country will be fast and powerful."
"The above six articles are all the ideas of my brother, and it is probably just a matter of them. If you want to implement them, the emperor needs to discuss with you all. There are many details and cannot be completed in one day. The emperor is wise and the ministers are also smart and capable. I believe that if I can do it here, my country will prosper!"
Long Dingtian finished reading in one breath and looked at the ministers below, and nodded in praise. He said, "I have given this memorial the title of Xingguo Six Skills. After all my beloved ministers, do you have any insights?"
The ministers below either thought about the principles of it alone, or whispered the pros and cons of it for two or three people. Except for a small number of oppositions, they were all amazed by Hua Shenguang's exquisite idea. These sound simple, but no one wanted it, or some people thought it, but no one raised it in a summary manner.
Of course, one of them, the Qing officials would definitely have a huge impact on the small officials below. This one is probably opposed by most people, but Long Dingtian is the one that he is most satisfied with since he was a child. Hua Shenguang's article is exactly what he wants.
"Returning to the emperor, I am amazed at the prince's talent, and I believe it should be implemented immediately." A general below said first. Because of Hua Shenguang's policy of prosperous martial arts, the first thing that benefits the generals.
