"In short, if this land in the north of the Great Wall wants to have long-term peace and stability, the economy here must be revitalized. It must have sufficient economic power, and this economic power must be attached to this place and must be here. Once you leave this place, you will be here.
No benefits can be generated elsewhere, otherwise..."
Li Sheng shook his head, "It's impossible to settle down in this place."
"this……"
When Li Sheng said this, King Luo Bin was stunned.
Then he frowned because he felt...
In this matter, I'm afraid it's not that the chance is very small, but that there is no chance at all.
It’s simply impossible!
There was no imperial examination system in the past, and there were not a few scholars from poor families who fell into disgrace in the Central Plains. After they had no hope of success, they simply went to work for the barbarian nobles.
For example, in the Later Zhao Dynasty during the Western Jin Dynasty, the emperor Shi Le was from Jie, but all his advisers and generals were Han Chinese. Even the God of War Ran Min was the adopted son of Shi Le's number one general Shi Hu.
There is no shortage of talented people among these people.
But after the barbarians take power, they often find...
It is too difficult for this place to become wealthy relying on local resources.
After countless attempts, they still failed. In the end, they often came to a very disturbing conclusion. If you want to get rich, you can only go to the Central Plains to rob... As time goes by, this has even become a consensus among the nomadic tribes in Mobei.
, for example, this time the Turkic army went south because the weather had been good and the horses were fat and strong, and they took advantage of the opportunity to invade the Central Plains. They didn't even wait for the climate disaster to come, and just prepared for a rainy day. Are you afraid?
Li Sheng is a genius, how could it be possible...
Impossible, even after thinking about it, it’s still impossible!
If it could really be run, the old man who joined the army in the Western Han Dynasty would have started it long ago. However, there is no such thing as such a good thing.
but……
Li Sheng caught King Luo Bin's expression in his eyes and did not refute, but smiled slightly.
After eating and drinking for a while, many soldiers were taken care of.
Seeing Li Sheng giving a small lesson to the staff around him, both the brave soldiers from the ordinary village and the scholar soldiers from the academy suddenly became red-eyed.
King Madluo Bin, this little bitch, why don’t you call on everyone at this great opportunity?
With this mood, Li Sheng and King Luo Bin unconsciously gathered a large number of soldiers to listen to Li Sheng's class.
Everyone was convinced by what Li Sheng said just now about the stability of Saibei.
Some people in the camp had ancestors who were border residents, and they nodded repeatedly when they heard Li Sheng's explanation.
In the frontier land, there is indeed nothing but poverty.
It's okay if the weather is good, but if there is a drought or flood, it will be difficult to survive every minute.
If we want long-term peace and stability, we really need to solve this problem!
But the same thing.
Everyone also felt sorry for King Luo Bin's suspicion and disbelief. If this place could have been rich, it would have been rich long ago. There was no need to wait until today.
Having said that, this...
After all, he is a saint!
Poetry Immortal, Qin Immortal, Martial Arts Immortal, Confucian Immortal.
A true fairy-like figure.
If others can't handle it, can we, the Holy Marquis, still be unable to handle it?
Now in Chang'an City, I don't know how many shrines have been built. I'm kidding you...
snort!
But having said that, everyone is still confused as to how to do this.
Li Sheng chuckled, "To succeed in something, it depends not only on personal struggle, but also on the coordinates of the environment. Where is this place..."
"It is indeed a bit far from Chang'an and Jiangdong, these prosperous places rich in water and rice. But what about the Mediterranean Sea?"
"That's right in front of you!"
Li Sheng's face was filled with a strange smile at this moment, and everyone was a little nervous.
But then...
Li Sheng picked up a branch and drew it on the ground.
After a while...
A crooked, sketchy sketch of something unknown came out.
When everyone saw it, they were all startled...
"Holy Commander, what is this?"
"It looks like a horse to me!"
"Nonsense, this is obviously a chicken!"
"Are you blind? This is obviously a cow!"
"I feel like a cow too!"
The surrounding soldiers made wild guesses, and finally reached a preliminary consensus.
This should be a cow, probably...
But since it is a cow, everyone is very strange.
It’s not like no one in Saibei raises cattle, but you can’t get rich by raising cattle.
The Turks also raise cattle. Although they are dancing happily now, they don’t know where they have been running these days. But everyone knows that there is nothing else in Saibei. Whenever there is a heavy snow, these Turks will have to
Half starved to death.
Can raising cattle be useful?
But Li Sheng went on to say it.
"You all, with your eyes like these, have the nerve to say that you make a living by drawing a bow?"
"This is a bull with a hammer, this is a map!"
Li Sheng explained angrily.
The soldiers around him were suddenly shocked. They covered their eyes and defended in horror, "Holy Commander, we didn't mean to look at it. You drew this for us!"
"This map is for the military aircraft in your Majesty's hands. How can you show us this?"
King Luo Bin, Gao Ziyang and others could not help but frown at the side, "Holy Commander, this seems inappropriate...and where is this map from?"
They looked around, but they didn't understand what kind of mountain this thing was.
Li Sheng could only give everyone a blank look before speaking...
"Sooner or later, things like maps will be in the hands of the people of Yan and Huang. Don't you all hope that everyone will open up more territories?"
"As for this map, it's not about that mountain or ditch. It's a map of the entire Asia."
As he spoke, Li Sheng drew a few more strokes within the large outline of the world island map.
"This is Datang, this is Chang'an..."
After a lot of hand gestures...
The surrounding soldiers, as well as Ma Zhou and other scholars, were all stunned.
There are only two words in everyone's mind.
Damn it!
"Holy Commander, this..."
"The world is so huge?!"
"Oh my God, how much food does this take for such a big place?"
"Oh my god, no wonder I heard that the generals in ancient times loved to expand their territories. With so much land, how many people would have to be fed!"
"Haha, it's good that you know. That's not what I want to say now."
Li Sheng continued calmly, "First of all, not all land can be cultivated. Otherwise, how could there be so many barbarians in Saibei? These barbarians are just like pigs. It is time for us Han people to learn to farm. This
The place is not suitable for farming, at least it is not suitable for harvesting grain."
"Where is the best place to harvest food?"
"First, this...this..."
As he spoke, Li Sheng sketched the Jiangdong region of China, as well as Southeast Asia and other regions.
"In these places, the climate is naturally warm, and crops can grow wildly without fertilizing."
When Li Sheng said this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
