The argument between the two cabinet elders made Zhu Youtang a little upset. Although he was not happy with Liu Jiduo, what he said was not unreasonable. It was not just once or twice that the Tatars broke their promises. Zhu You
Zang turned his attention to Huai En, hoping that this veteran could give him some advice.
Wynn's lips moved slightly, and the words condensed into lines and passed into the emperor's ears: "Your Majesty, if you listen both, you will be enlightened, if you believe only, you will be dark."
Zhu Youtang laughed and scolded him as an old cunning man. Wynn never expressed his opinions on government affairs, but he calmed down a little after being distracted by him.
"What are the opinions of other beloved ministers?"
Li Min, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out and replied: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Xu Ge said is very reasonable. The advantage lies in that although there are thousands of mountains, there is nothing that cannot be reached, and deep down, there is nothing that cannot be reached.
The act of paying tribute can increase the national treasury, which is a great good!"
Liu Ji secretly decided in his heart that he should push Ye Qi, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to the position as soon as possible. Li Min had always been repetitive, and his many efforts to win over the Ministry of Revenue were in vain. If it was beneficial to the Ministry of Revenue, he would fully support it, no matter who proposed it.
suggestion.
Ma Wensheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, noticed the emperor's eyes turned towards him and said: "Your Majesty, if a country is built with literature, it must have military power. If there is only literature but no military force, the power will not be established and the country will be weak. This war is already on the string and has to be launched. As for what
How to proceed? I think it is not appropriate to engage in a large-scale war. Since I took charge of the Ministry of War, I have exhausted my consultations and slept and eaten in panic. I only know that military affairs are based on the people. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"
Zheng Ying, Marquis of Wu'an, was very dissatisfied with Ma Wensheng's opinion. The Minister of War had suppressed many of his relatives since he took office. Although there were indeed many scum among his relatives, he should at least say hello to the British Duke before dealing with them. This one is better
, acted vigorously and resolutely, and showed no mercy in dealing with them. Last year, they dealt with more than 20 people in a row, causing their reputation in the DPRK and China to plummet.
Zheng Ying opened his mouth and said: "Since ancient times, when emperors stabilized the world, there was no one who did not regard conquering the army as the most important thing. The program was as big as selecting generals and training the troops, and providing adequate food and weapons. Nowadays, the soldiers and horses are strong, and the clothing, food and utensils are sufficient. How can it be wrong?
The principle of war, although I am not talented, I am willing to follow the example of sealing the wolf as a subordinate, and I will not return it until the Tatars are broken!"
Xu Pu couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard the speech of Wu'an Hou, a fanatical militant who only knew how to fight and fight, regardless of whether the national treasury was full or not. He was about to speak out to refute when Li Jie's words came out.
"Marquis Wu'an, Sun Tzu said, if you raise an army of 100,000 and march thousands of miles, at the cost of the common people and the government's salary, you will spend thousands of gold per day, there will be turmoil inside and outside, and there will be 700,000 families who are lazy on the road and can't do anything. Do you think this is true?"
Marquis Wu'an nodded, and Li Jie continued: "The first phase of the army requires ten years of sacrifice, the cost of one battle, and the achievements of many generations. The army is based on food. There are only a few successful candidates this time. How come?
Sufficient food and clothing?
It is understandable that soldiers want to fight and make meritorious deeds. Li Jie sometimes longs for the day when he can hold a three-foot sword and rule the world, but it is a bit unreasonable to rush to war regardless of the situation.
Marquis Wu'an's face turned red when he was stimulated by Li Jie's words. It was a great irony for him that a yellow-mouthed boy dared to teach him how to use soldiers. However, thinking of what the British father said before he left, he could only suppress his anger.
He snorted coldly and refused to argue with Li Jie.
Liu Ji was secretly happy when he saw Li Jie taking the initiative to provoke the military officials, and sarcastically said: "What does Editor Lin have to say?"
Li Jie glanced at Liu Ji indifferently and said: "I don't dare to talk too much. Your Majesty, in ancient times, it was a city. It used what it had and exchanged what it had. There are many healthy horses, cattle and sheep in Tatar. I, the important matter of the country, are here."
Rong, and the main plan of the Rong army is horses. Our country is rich in products. Why not exchange salt, cloth and other materials for healthy horses? Moreover, cattle and sheep are also beneficial to farming and mulberry."
"The most important thing about the army is to gather talents to promote the great cause. The power of the three armies should not be more important than the generals. There are British princes in the court and good generals like Wu'an Hou, why worry about being victorious?"
Marquis Wu'an has a cheerful temperament. Seeing Li Jie praising him for suppressing his previous unhappiness, he actually somewhat agreed with Li Jie's previous remarks, but if he didn't start a fight, wouldn't his skills be useless?
land.
When Zhu Youtang heard this, he became interested and said, "Lin Aiqing, where is the second one?"
Li Jie organized his thoughts and continued: "The second is to save money and use it for financial purposes. I only have the way to manage the border, and don't focus on financial management. The method of managing money is not to be economical first and then to increase revenue. Your Majesty has been on the throne since he ascended the throne.
Diligence in the state and frugality in the family are the blessings of the people. Those who established a country in ancient times laid out the foundation and end of the country, and used it to connect the good and the bad. The method of paying tribute and trading with each other is the way to open up money and benefit the country."
"The third is to summon people to surrender to isolate the captives. The Yi and Di are prone to fighting. The Tatar, Wac, and Uliangha tribes have always been dissatisfied and fought with each other. Why not separate them and transform them into isolated ones, and use their troops to attack them?
The second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the third is to attack the city. The best strategy is to use the barbarians to control the barbarians."
"The fourth is the Guangcao canal, which is used to pay for the border. The production in Xuanda and other places is limited, and the troops and horses in the two towns are endless. In addition, in the cold and bitter areas, the grain and millet are not luxuriant, and it is extremely cold. It is difficult to save the transportation.
If the grain is received, the merchant villages will be depleted and the situation will become more dangerous. Moreover, the merchants are struggling to defend their branches. Every time there is an opening, there are only a few who respond. The method of drying salt is exactly what it is used for."
"The five are all rewards and punishments to counteract the enemy's anger. The ministers only advise and punish in the right way, and the passers-by can also become strong soldiers. If the rewards and punishments are inappropriate, then fathers and brothers should not order their children. If the law is unclear and the rewards and punishments are not believed, the gold will not stop and the drums will not advance.
What’s the point of using an army of millions?”
"Sixth is to restore the pasture and use horses to govern. The important affairs of the country depend on the army. The army's great plans depend on the horses. They must be well-fed and fertile. They can judge the time and make decisions based on consideration. There is nothing that cannot be done in the world. It is beneficial to pay tribute."
Ma Zheng should be taken."
"The seven tasks are also specially appointed to ensure long-term results, use the wise way, and take full-time duties first, and the effectiveness of treatment is achieved by long-term duties. If you want to achieve success if you give up, you will not be able to do something."
After saying that, Li Jie bowed and retreated. Zhu Youtang was thoughtful in his mind. He came back to his senses and clapped his hands and praised: "Good, good! If you don't plan for the world, you can't plan for a moment. If you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region!"
Liu Ji's thin face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Even a fool could see the emperor's appreciation for Li Jie's remarks. Now that Li Jie's status in the emperor's heart has reached a higher level, Liu Ji is even more dissatisfied. The emperor has
, with Xu Pu at my side, it will probably be even harder to deal with Li Jie in the future.
After listening to Li Jie's speech, Wu'an Marquis Zheng Ying couldn't help but secretly applaud. He really didn't expect that a young man could have such insights into the major events of the Warring States Period. He was truly the most talented person in history. Although the two sides belonged to different camps, for Li Jie's
He appreciates it but does not lose half of it. As for Li Jie's previous confrontational words, he has long since thrown them out of the sky.
Xu Pu also didn't expect that Li Jie could make such wonderful remarks. It was beyond his expectation. Li Jie repeatedly broke his inherent cognition. This man seemed to be born with Su Hui, which made people shine from time to time.
Shocking words, I feel in my heart that Daozhen is an unparalleled genius!
