Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then started thinking hard.
Facing Li Sheng's body temperature, they really didn't dare to neglect him. At this moment, everyone even subconsciously straightened their sitting postures.
The question Li Sheng asked was indeed an extremely important question.
Although everyone didn't understand why Li Sheng suddenly mentioned this, and this question...
And what does it have to do with what I was talking about before, about being cheated by a shipyard owner...
But everyone was shocked!
After thinking hard for a while, Fang Xuanling suddenly said, "To see a country, you must first see whether its treasury is full?"
After Fang Xuanling spoke, Li Er nodded immediately.
This issue can be said to be too critical.
If a country wants to be strong and prosperous, its treasury must be full. Otherwise, if there is a famine and famine, what will be used to provide relief?
If a foreign enemy invades, what should we use to organize the army?
Without a healthy treasury, the national destiny will not last long.
It can be said that these words won Li Er's heart.
But then, Du Ruhui shook his head, "I don't think so."
"Royal etiquette, rules and order, these are all matters within our country of China. But outside, who cares about you so much?"
"The barbarians are afraid of power but not moral. Without the might of the army, our survival would be in doubt. What's the use of talking about the treasury at this time?"
"The foundation of a country is military affairs!"
After Du Ruhui's words, Li Er nodded again.
This is also the truth!
At that time, the Turks were about to attack us at our doorstep.
There is no time to care about so much at this time. If we don't quickly gather people to attack them, they will not be able to survive. It's not all over, and there is nothing left.
but……
While Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling expressed their opinions, Wei Zheng remained silent.
It's not that he doesn't have his own understanding of these things, but he feels...
Li Sheng may be talking about more important issues.
The importance of these problems is probably not lower than the first two...
After all, he destroyed the Turkic Turks and revitalized the economy.
Doesn't Li Shenghui know the importance of this?
But when Li Sheng said this, there must be more important information to reveal.
but……
Wei Zheng racked his brains and couldn't figure out what Li Sheng's words meant!
At this moment, Li Sheng smiled slightly.
"Everyone."
"To see something, you must first look inside it. What is inside a country?"
"Within one country?"
Everyone frowned in curiosity, "In a country...people?"
Li Sheng shook his head.
“When you look at a country, you must first look at its ideology!”
…
"Ideology???"
"What's this?"
A new word suddenly popped out of Li Sheng's mouth, and everyone was confused.
Good guy...
Why is Li Sheng's knowledge really endless?
From astronomy to geography, from farming to fighting, Li Sheng had an understanding of everything that far exceeded the world's understanding.
Is this really the reincarnation of a god?
But……
Everyone really doesn’t understand what this “ideology” means…
Seeing that Li Er's face started to turn red and white again, Li Sheng stopped playing riddles and said directly.
"This ideology actually depends on what the country, from the emperor to the common people, pursues."
"If the emperor, all officials, and the people everywhere pursue comfort, then the country will be content with comfort. The ancients said it very clearly... Born in sorrow and died in happiness. If everyone in a country is satisfied with comfort, then the country will not be strong.
!”
"On the contrary...if the emperor, all officials, and the people from all over the world pursue excellence, then the country will not fall into that ending, but will become stronger and stronger!"
As soon as Li Sheng said this, everyone nodded immediately.
Li Er, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling... seemed to be waking up from a dream.
This is true!
If you think about it carefully, this is really the core of a country.
But this seems... a bit too broad, right?
"So... what can we do to make China's atmosphere more positive and enterprising? Everyone knows the merits of culture and education. But in the end... the key is that a country's resources must go to the right place. If the resources are not used for
If we strive to gain more resources, but instead keep them in the hands of a few people and live in misery, then no matter how rich the martial virtues of the people above and below us, they will inevitably end up in a miserable state!"
Li Sheng's voice was like gold and stone, and he finished speaking without missing a word.
Li Er suddenly fell into a daze.
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui all fell into a sluggish state.
This...this theory...is simply earth-shattering.
No wonder...
No wonder everyone reads history books and finds one thing: powerful countries and declining countries basically maintain a high degree of similarity in their respective circles.
Since the beginning of the Wu Dynasty and Shang Yang's reforms, China in the Warring States Period has embarked on a political system competition that spans hundreds of years.
It is a magnificent story, and every time I read it, the countless heroes will make future generations amazed and admired.
The stories of rise and fall come one after another.
But knowing this moment...
Everyone finally saw the whole story from Li Sheng's mouth.
Let resources appear in the right place!
At that time, Shang Yang's reform was to cut off the interests of the nobles and reward the soldiers who had made meritorious service to the country. As a result, the Qin State quickly became strong and prosperous.
As a counterexample, the other six countries seemed to have made countless reforms, but compared to Qin, the results were completely different.
It turns out there is some truth in this...
Isn't this the core essence of Legalism?
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief...
Li Sheng this... this...
Damn it, this time he is not only a martial arts immortal, but also a magic immortal?
Really...
So what the hell????
Li Sheng then sighed softly and said slowly...
"This huge profit from sea trade. I talked about the world map with you before. We have already talked about this, so I won't talk about it anymore. But do you believe it?"
"Even if everyone in the world knows about the huge profits of sea trade in the future, there will still be people who oppose sea trade!"
"ah?"
Li Er was startled when he heard this, "This is a great thing. The national treasury can make money, the people can make a living, and China can also get more benefits... This is still an additional benefit. Who would object to sea trade?"
"Haha...Old Li, you still don't know that people's hearts are sinister."
Li Sheng chuckled.
"Profit-making, all the great Confucians in this world hate profit-making the most."
"But profit-making and profit-making are both profit-making, how can we wait and see it? Going on the sea in wind and rain, using blood, sweat and courage to find wealth is profit-making, collecting land rent in China, buying great Confucians to be filial and honest officials, monopolizing discourse
Persecution, seeking power and corruption...this is also profit-making. How can this be the same?"
"Then people are farming for profit. Isn't this still a crime?"
Li Sheng’s words.
Li Er was immediately stunned.
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling... these are a group of literati who have systematically studied Confucian methods since childhood.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
His Highness’s understanding of Confucianism… is so profound?!
