Therefore, the literal meaning of using war to support war is to use the manpower, material and financial resources obtained in the war to continue the war. In fact, if you want to truly use war to support war, it cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
It can be said that almost all aggressive wars have this color. Not to mention, the most typical example of the Qin Dynasty's unification of the six countries was to use war to support war.
With the transportation capacity of the Qin Dynasty, if you want to transport grain and grass all the way from Xianyang to the Yan State, Chu State, Wu Yue area, the consumption on the road is probably quite staggering. Furthermore, since Shang Yang’s reform, all the kings of the Qin Dynasty have not had
It shakes the essence of Shang Yang's new law of rewarding farming and war. This allows the people of Qin to see hope from the bottom up. As long as you work hard and are not afraid of death, it may not be impossible to become a prince and become a prime minister one day.
There is a more important point in supporting war with war, and that is the distribution of benefits. War is actually profit, why do soldiers work with you? I am afraid that only family and friendship cannot restrain you. You can serve thousands of miles in the name of brothers.
.Thousands of miles away, unfamiliar resistance, and all that has been seen for years is killing. Without the comfort of family love, it needs to be driven by interests.
One of the greatest monarchs in the world, the emperor of the Great Mongol Kingdom, Genghis Khan Temujin was a master who relied on war to support war. His Mongolian cavalry was known as invincible in the world, and they fought from the coast of the East China Sea to the coast of the Black Sea, spanning several
One hundred thousand miles. Everywhere they passed, the Mongolian cavalry became a nightmare for European countries. They relied on profit distribution. Temujin once ordered that all spoils should be owned by the collective and shared equally. If anyone sees him secretly
You can chop off his hands if you take something.
"The so-called war to support war actually means having iron discipline, a cruel heart and a fair distribution of benefits!" Long Fei said lightly: "Only in this way can the conquered places completely fall under your feet.
Regardless of whether he is a barbarian from outside the Great Wall or a citizen from somewhere else, as long as he is not a subject of our Dragon Empire, we will kill him with just one word!"
Xun Yu was shocked. Murder seemed to him a bit cruel. In order to defeat Zhao State, the Qin people killed one hundred thousand Zhao State soldiers in one battle, leaving Zhao State with no capital to resist.
Said: "Isn't this too cruel?"
Long Fei looked at him: "As the saying goes, people who are not from our race must have different hearts. As long as they are not of the same mind as us, they will be killed! In addition, our people must have a strong desire to conquer, and we can encourage them to go to those who have been conquered.
Seek new development in the area! Why was the Han Dynasty repeatedly invaded by barbarians outside the Great Wall? It was because the Han Dynasty was rich in products and our people were unwilling to leave here, so the territory obtained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty quickly returned to the hands of the barbarians. If we say
We didn't get a piece of land, but people flocked to open up wasteland. After a long time, as long as ten years, that place became our territory!"
Jia Xu nodded: "Yes! When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty captured Beidi and other counties, it is still a gathering area for the Huns. If even ten thousand people could have migrated back then, they would not be what they are now. But is there any way to change the people?
What are their ideas?”
Long Fei said: "This involves the distribution of interests. Although the people here are good, they live a hard life. If we order those who have the courage to follow the army to conquer the region, they can give priority to the land, population and local resources. Let's take the Southern Barbarians.
He said that although the environment there is dangerous, it is rich in medicinal materials and wood. If these things are trafficked back to the Central Plains, the benefits will be tenfold and a hundredfold! The merchants are smart in this."
"The reason for your Majesty's emphasis on business in the first place is the same, right?"
What a far-sighted vision.
Long Fei chuckled: "Wen Ruo is right, businessmen are not useless. Without them, there would be no social prosperity. One of the important reasons why our Yizhou and Jingzhou can develop rapidly is that businessmen continue to transfer our Jingzhou's
The news spreads and brings back resources from outside, so our territory can develop quickly! If all the subjects are businessmen, how huge is the potential? The whole country will be boiling! "
"But, if no one is farming, what will we eat?" The traditional agricultural thinking still hinders the imagination of senior intellectuals in this society.
Long Fei picked up a pen and drew a circle on the silk, and drew a few circles in it: "This is like our territory. This area is suitable for farming, this area is suitable for hunting, this area is suitable for living and production, and merchants are here
During this period, the products were thrown around. Those who cultivated the land got meat and daily necessities, those who hunted got food and daily necessities, and those who lived and produced got food and meat. Although everyone was engaged in different labors, they got the same thing.
This is the biggest benefit of merchants. Under our rule, we must not practice that kind of self-sufficient life, which will only tie everyone to the land, as if there is no way to live without the land!"
This explanation made Xun Yu and Jia Xu seem to have insufficient brains, completely breaking their previous understanding. Long Fei continued: "Being a soldier is also a way to survive. For our current soldiers, I will give them military pay.
It is a means of living for them. With money, they can live a good life and support their families. There are also people in the arms workshops. They also have money, and their families do not have to worry about making a living and will work hard.
!The same goes for you officials, your salary is the source of your life. Since being an official can become a career, why can’t other people do it?”
Since ancient times, in people's minds, being an official is not a profession, but a privilege for upper-class scholars. They can rely on the merits of their ancestors and the convenience of being an official to earn greater benefits for themselves and their families.
Let his children and grandchildren have no worries about food and clothing. By doing this, Long Fei will undoubtedly cut off their livelihood as officials. Fortunately, Long Fei has nationalized all the land, and being an official here has become a career.
Long Fei's thinking was too advanced. He wanted to bring this country that had just surrendered to slavery for hundreds of years into capitalism in an instant. Not to mention ordinary people, even the prime ministers under him were a little confused. Although Long Fei did a lot in the early stage
It was still a bit difficult for these two people to understand the foreshadowing. Looking at the stunned expressions of the two people, Long Fei smiled: "Why, you can't bear to part with your official position? To tell you the truth, I will not continue to be this emperor.
The emperor also wants to support his family!"
These words really frightened Xun Yu and Jia Xu. They knelt down on the ground with a bang, their heads lowered. Long Fei said: "Get up! What are you afraid of? This is what I said, and I am telling you this."
Well, why do we live in this world? Isn’t it just to survive? We live to eat. What’s the difference between me and you and those small vendors shouting on the street? No! Everyone is here to support their families. Maybe others are better than us.
Live happier!”
"Your Majesty!" The two still didn't dare to get up. Long Fei helped them up personally: "From today on, the government will no longer provide you with servants. You have to spend money on yourself who have servants. Don't look at me! Earn money.
The money method is right. You can use your savings to invest in our military workshops, or you can use it from your official salary. The same goes for me. I only have so much as your annual salary! Let’s see who it is.
Live better!"
It was another bolt from the blue, which shocked the two of them. They looked at Long Fei in disbelief. Long Fei patted the two of them on the shoulders: "Since we want to encourage businessmen, let's start with you and me.
What do you think?"
Xun Yu and Jia Xu had no expression at all. They looked at Long Fei with four eyes in disbelief and could only nod mechanically.
This decision was made without anyone else. On the morning of the next day, Long Fei directly announced that he would invest in the weapons manufacturing workshop, and at the same time invest in the production of military uniforms, the breeding of war horses, and the purchase of strategic materials. Followed closely by Xun Yu and Jia Xu
At the same time, he announced that he would invest in these projects. Everyone in the court was shocked and dumbfounded.
As Long Fei's die-hard followers, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, Meng Shuo, Xu Shu, and Li Ru responded one after another. Others had to follow even if they were unwilling. Who made Long Fei the emperor? The first batch to buy shares
Their shares were not very large. At the end of the month, under everyone's concern, these places began to announce this month's earnings according to Long Fei's wishes, and began to pay dividends based on the number of shares purchased. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Take Xun Yu as an example. He was forced to do so at the beginning. He expected to get the money back home to buy some real estate, but he was forced by Long Fei to invest in some weapons manufacturing workshop. He knew nothing about business and looked at his hands.
With the heavy money bag, Xun Yu, a man who considered himself noble, also smiled. The proportion of dividends was much higher than his salary, which surprised him.
Following this incident, the number of shares and the number of people investing in shares increased rapidly. In addition to these government workshops, private workshops also began to gather funds on a large scale. Some shops saw the opportunity to expand and followed suit. Long Fei's policy was followed up in a timely manner.
The Ministry of Commerce was immediately ordered to strictly control the shops and workshops that raised shares, and required them to register to ensure the rights of shareholders. This was undoubtedly a disguised form of government guaranteeing the safety of capital.
This incident started in Xiangyang and swept through the entire Jingzhou in an instant, followed by Yizhou, Xiliang, Yongzhou, Nanman and other places to start vigorous capital accumulation work. The shops and workshops that received the money expanded rapidly. In just half a year, hundreds of people
Workshops are everywhere, and there are more and more shops across state lines. While people are happy to make money, they also consume a large number of goods from different places.
Long Fei used this trick to slowly turn an agricultural country into a commercial country, allowing the people to see the hope of a prosperous life. Of course, Long Fei also understood that when people live a prosperous life, they must also keep their thoughts consistent. How can everyone be able to live a prosperous life?
Agree mentally? Religion is undoubtedly the best way.
