"Everyone, why are you stupid? Can you answer me, are you interested in these lands?" Xie Xin said with a smile while gesturing on the map.
"Yes!" Soon, some generals answered.
"What? I can't hear clearly!" Xie Xin asked pretendingly.
"Yes!" Everyone was not fools. They quickly understood and shouted in unison.
"Many people say that China has become peaceful too quickly! Why do they say that? Because the Chinese people have not died enough! There is so little land in China, but there are still so many people to occupy these lands. As a family,
, are you willing to see the so-called 'untouchables' and 'low-class families' sharing these lands with you?" Xie Xin asked, narrowing his eyes.
But on this issue, everyone decisively shut their mouths.
Many people know these things, and many of them may have heard their elders say it before. But they also know that these can be talked about in private, but they can never be stated openly.
And they didn't expect that Xie Xin would speak out about this matter so openly.
"Greed is a very contradictory thing. It is precisely because of it that society has developed and the civilization of various nations has progressed. But also because of it, all nations will face two inevitable disasters.
, one is civil strife, and the other is invasion by foreign enemies.
When you are penniless, what you want is a glass of water and a steamed bun. But when you have these, you will want some pickles and steamed buns.
As time goes by, you will want to have a rich meal, and for this you must have enough money to buy that meal!
So, you will soon have a lot of money, so you hope to have land. Eventually, you will have a lot of money and a lot of land. All of these are gifts given to you by greed.
Ordinarily, at this point, you have mastered a lot, but you are reluctant to throw away the good thing greed.
With so much money and so much land in your hands, why can't you have more power? So you, or your descendants, or even relatives began to enter the official career, and then during your tenure as officials, more land was obtained for you.
More money, and even more career opportunities.
Until one day, when you are the most powerful ministers, you find that there is an obstacle called the emperor above your head. And similarly, you find that you can no longer buy more land, and it is difficult to earn more.
That's a lot of money.
Therefore, there is only one choice before you, and that is to cause chaos in the world. This feels like a gamble, because you may even fail in this gamble and die.
But because greed is still retained by you, and you also know that this is the only way to get more power, more land and more money, so you know the danger, but you still go back to do it, because everyone's
In my heart, there is also something called 'lucky'.
So many people embarked on the road to fight for hegemony, shouting to save the common people. To be honest, such idiots have never succeeded in becoming emperor. Many people died on this road, but some people survived and took away the man named
Emperor's obstacle, and then became Emperor himself.
You have obtained a large amount of land, because at this moment, China has gone through some reshuffles, and a large amount of land has been vacated. Those are unowned lands, and as the largest landowner in China, you have the qualifications and rights to
Take it as your own.
Then, when time slowly passes and China's population rises to a new level again, this cycle will start again, and who will eventually become the new emperor is unknown." Xie Xin told everyone seriously.
Speaking of.
"Dean Xie, if you tell me the truth, what does this have to do with us?" Xu Chu asked.
"It doesn't make any sense, but I just want you to understand what kind of situation China is in." Xie Xin said nonchalantly.
"Zhongkang, don't keep interrupting. Dean Xie's meaning is actually very clear." Xiahou Dun shook his head, "We always thought that China was only so big, so we continued this vicious cycle. But now we already know this
The world is so vast, so our gaze..."
Having said this, Xiahou Dun looked at the letter of thanks, expecting him to answer this question.
"Actually, the reason why I tell you so much information is just to let you understand a truth." Xie Xin coughed slightly, and then pointed to the map behind him, "The world is vast, and you, as China,
The butcher's knife in the hands of a soldier should be directed against the outside world, not against the inside.
When you are slashing at your compatriots in order to gain more land and resources in China, outside China, those alien races who are eyeing China with covetousness are sincerely enjoying this farce.
As I said before, greed will bring you two disasters, the second one is the invasion of foreigners.
When you wield the butcher knife against your compatriots for such a small piece of land, when China's reshuffle ends and we begin to enter the period of integration, our population in China will be the smallest at that time.
Unfortunately, our neighbors may not have experienced the reshuffle yet, and after long-term development, their population, of course, mainly refers to their soldiers, may be larger than ours in China.
Although China is a very small area on the map, you know how vast the border is. After the reshuffle, our population has been greatly reduced, and our soldiers will naturally be reduced to the limit. Under such circumstances, take the soldiers to the border
Guard, how many soldiers do you think we can place at each strategic location?
Even if we go all-in, can we withstand the alien coalition forces that are ten times our size? Furthermore, if their invasion is not to plunder, but to devour our China, then what kind of disaster will our China face?
?
Forget it, you won’t understand those things that have never happened. What I hope is that such things will never happen, so there is the idea of three parties co-governing the world and the proposal of a new political system. Of course, there is
Thank you for your military school study this time.
I don't ask you to learn the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, nor do I need you students to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I just need you to understand one truth. There are many places outside China waiting for us to conquer, and you will be the vanguard of our expansion in China.
The glory of the military should be gained through the expansion of territory! Outside of China, there are more lands and more resources waiting for you to plunder. At the same time, there are more enemies who are eyeing our China.
The real reshuffle of China has not yet begun..."
After finishing the thank you letter, I found that the first place was strangely quiet.
In fact, everyone seemed to be in some kind of deep thought, and many generals were even looking at their hands, as if there was something worth appreciating in those calloused hands.
"Bah!" Five minutes later, Xie Xin clapped his hands, bringing everyone's souls back.
"Today's lesson ends here. Take a good look at the textbooks I handed out. They contain the appearance, culture and specialties of various ethnic groups in various regions. Similarly, for those undeveloped lands, I have also clearly written down their existence.
Minerals and Resources.
The last book is a sketch of the conditions of towns and people in various places after the civil wars in the past dynasties since the Shang Dynasty. It may not directly reflect the scene after the civil wars, but it should be able to give you a reference.
And your homework today is to take a good look at these materials when you have time, and then think carefully about what I said today..." After thanking the letter, he picked up the textbook and left the classroom.
And that map of the world is still hanging quietly on the blackboard.
