Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 679 Your Majesty, this method is not advisable
"Zhao Wen is not a foreigner outside the pass. What's the big deal? It's just that the emperor has been replaced. As long as he can protect our interests, he can sit in this country." Che Ruize's father looked indifferent , there is no objection to Zhao Wen sitting in the country.

"But father, I heard that thief Zhao is very cruel to the gentry. What if he doesn't treat us well? Today's court treats the gentry favorably, but if it is replaced by thief Zhao, everything may be uncertain.

Bandit Zhao came out of the army and was just an illiterate young man. Can he treat gentlemen kindly? "Che Ruize asked.

According to the news from all over the country, Zhao Wen didn't take any measures to treat the gentry kindly at all, and when he treated the gentry, he was even worse than ordinary people.

This kind of news was also widely circulated in Jinling City, so it was very normal for Che Ruize to hear about it.

"Why don't you know what you said about being a father? But, the matter is not that simple. Back then, Emperor Hongwu treated the gentry and officials like pigs and killed them for fun. But what happened later? After two generations, didn't the gentry rise again?

Besides, can the gentry in the north compare with us?Zhao thief only dealt with the gentry in the north, and how much money did the gentry in the north have?How big a storm can it turn up?Even if we show a little between our fingers, it is not comparable to the northern gentry.

In this world, only our gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are the richest. We have a lot of wealth in our hands. If thief Zhao dares to deal with us, the money in our hands will be enough for thief Zhao to eat and walk around.

This thief Zhao only wants this country, let him sit on this country, as long as it doesn't involve our interests, it doesn't matter. "

Che Ruize's father didn't care, and didn't take Zhao Wen seriously at all. For him, as long as Zhao Wen didn't involve his interests, everything was acceptable.

In fact, Che Ruize's father is not the only one who thinks this way. In the entire Jinling City, there are many people who have this idea.

Excessive commerce produces excessive value and excessive profits. Under these profit trends, many gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are no longer interested in who will be the emperor.As long as he can take care of his own interests, as long as he is not a foreigner outside the pass, it doesn't matter who is the emperor.

The reason why Nanming existed for such a short time is inseparable from the gentry at that time.

It only took eight months from the establishment of the Hongguang small court to its demise. Although Emperor Hongguang was mainly responsible, it was also inseparable from the gentry in Jinling City.

It doesn't mean that all the gentry are like Che Ruize's father, and there are quite a few gentry who are loyal to the court.

In the backyard of an ordinary store in Jinling City, seven or eight strong men sat in a room.

Although it was broad daylight, the windows and doors of the room were still tightly closed.

These seven or eight strong men sat around a table, and the strong man sitting on the east side said: "Everyone, Shandong has been completely taken down now, and in a few days, Huguang will be taken down.

Although His Majesty did not issue any new orders, the day when His Majesty attacked Nanzhili must not be too far away.

In the recent period of time, we must start to take action to find out all the situations in Jinling City, Yingtianfu and even the whole of Nanzhili, and report them in time.Prepare for the advance of His Majesty's army. Although His Majesty's soldiers and horses are invincible and the defenders of Nanzhili cannot resist them, the population of each prefecture and county in Nanzhili must be found out in detail.

After you go down today, you will pass on my order to the people in various prefectures and counties in Nanzhili. "

Zhao Wen sent a large number of people to Nanzhili a long time ago. These people usually use various shops as camouflage.

Undertake the task of collecting various local conditions.

"Understood!" The seven or eight big men in the room shouted.

……

Liu Wenzhong sat in the imperial study, looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting on it, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, it is good to expand the territory, and it is every king's favorite thing. But, Your Majesty, expanding the territory cannot be done." Eager for quick success and instant benefit, the most urgent task right now is to calm down the whole world first.

Since entering the Year of Apocalypse, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued throughout the world, people have been displaced, and land mergers have been serious.

His Majesty sent troops overseas and the ministers have no objection, but can His Majesty think more about the people when sending troops overseas. "

Liu Wenzhong came to Zhao Wen today for the purpose of sending troops overseas.

From Liu Wenzhong's point of view, the country has just established itself, and it is time to recuperate. Although Zhao Wen's strength is strong, the continuous wars always make Liu Wenzhong feel uneasy.

After Liu Wenzhong returned home, he thought a lot about what Zhao Wen said at the Great Court Meeting. He always felt that it was not a wise move to send troops overseas after the world had just been pacified. Can't be persuaded.

Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong quietly, not angry because of Liu Wenzhong's words.

Zhao Wen also knew what Liu Wenzhong was worried about.

"Do you know why I sent troops overseas?" Zhao Wen didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

Liu Wenzhong shook his head, "I don't know why His Majesty sent troops overseas."

"Maybe you think that I sent troops overseas to become an emperor like Emperor Qin and Han Wu. Of course, although I also have this purpose, it is not the real reason.

The reason why I send troops overseas is to eliminate all hidden dangers in the cradle.I once said that I want to leave a vast and boundless territory and a peaceful and prosperous world for future generations. I should remember these words I said by now. "Zhao Wen stood up and walked slowly in the imperial study.

"But Your Majesty, overseas is a barren land, where is there any threat? Given the power of our dynasty, who would dare to disrespect me? Our army is powerful, far surpassing that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. I can't think of it. Who will be my opponent." Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao Wen in astonishment, and said in confusion.

Liu Wenzhong really couldn't figure it out, why did Zhao Wen think this way?
Of course Liu Wenzhong would not understand that 200 years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the West rose, and this land became a stepping stone for the West to prove its strength. What kind of disasters and humiliations the people in this land have experienced.

Maybe Liu Wenzhong felt that as long as the people in the world are rich and healthy, it can be called a prosperous age, but for Zhao Wen, it is far more than that.

Although Zhao Wen didn't personally experience the century-old humiliation, the century-old humiliation written in the history books made Zhao Wen unable to calm down.

In history, it was just a series of cold words and numbers, but Zhao Wen understood what it represented.

Zhao Wen knows what is brewing in the West now, and Zhao Wen knows what kind of power those things brewing in the West will explode after a hundred years.

It is impossible for Zhao Wen to sit back and watch the West become stronger and remain indifferent. God gave Zhao Wen the opportunity to travel to the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Wen must cherish this opportunity. Death will not be at ease.

"By the time you can see the threat, it's too late. Sometimes the threat doesn't come all at once, but step by step.

Just like a tree, you see it as a small seedling today, but it is still a small seedling tomorrow.But after a few decades, it will become a towering giant tree.

One day, once this towering giant tree collapses, it will be a catastrophe for the whole world.Maybe my metaphor is inappropriate, but I want to tell you that I want to kill the threat before it even arises.

Maybe this is a pain and a disaster for the people in those places, but I would rather make them cry than let the people in this land cry.

After the world is pacified, I will set aside five years. During these five years, I dare not say how rich the world will be, but it can make the people of the world no longer live in fear, so that the people of the world will not live in fear. No matter how afraid of those corrupt officials and officials and excessive taxes, let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.

When I attack the West and overseas, I will never impose excessive taxes on the people for this reason.The strength of the country should not be based on the suffering of the people. I will do my best to minimize the negative impact of the war on the people. " Zhao Wenyu said earnestly.

Regarding Liu Wenzhong's doubts, Zhao Wen did not have any dissatisfaction.Liu Wenzhong didn't come from later generations, because of the limitations of the times, he didn't understand some things deeply, and Zhao Wen could understand these things.

"But five years is really too short!" Liu Wenzhong persuaded.

"Five years is not short, it is not short.

Do you know why I built so many factories in Xuanzhen?Why do I still let Song Yingxing develop tanks?Why did I let Sun Yuanhua build factories in various places?
Do you think I am only for the benefits brought by the factory?But do you know how many factories in Xuanzhen are losing money?Among other things, let's take ironworks as an example. How much steel can the private sector buy?The steel produced is basically used by me to lay railways and other places.

However, the monthly wages of the workers in the ironworks will not be short of them. "

Zhao Wen paused, took a deep breath, and then said: "Do you know how much benefit a factory can bring to the people? As the head of the Council, I believe you also know how many people in Xuan Town today rely on these Factories make a living.

The things produced by these factories, for now, can only be used by our army. As for the people, how much can they consume?With the war, the war materials will increase, and the war materials will increase, and the factories will have to work overtime in production, and the scale will inevitably increase.

By then, the factory will certainly expand.At that time, manpower will be needed to build the factory, and manpower will be needed in the factory.

The common people will also find jobs because of the increase in war materials, and the wages will not be less.With wages, people's lives will improve.

With the victory of overseas wars, the territory will become larger and larger, and it will be a huge fortune to sell the daily necessities produced overseas.

The cotton cloth produced by the factory is of good quality, and the cost is also very low. In addition, the glass products, silk ceramics and tea produced by the factory will definitely be sold overseas.

The wealth contained in these things is much more than that earned by launching a few wars. "

Zhao Wen stopped in front of Liu Wenzhong, talking about his views.

Hearing Zhao Wen's voice, Liu Wenzhong felt a huge wave in his heart.

Liu Wenzhong never thought that war could bring so many things. Although Liu Wenzhong had followed Zhao Wen for a long time, it was the first time he heard Zhao Wen's theories about Zhao Wen's theories.

Before that, Zhao Wen had never told him these theories.

Liu Wenzhong never thought that the war would be like this, not only did not lose money, but also made money.

In Liu Wenzhong's impression, from ancient times to the present, wars have always cost money, and fighting as little as possible.

Liu Wenzhong thought about it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and sweat began to flow from his forehead.

If this is the case, then the whole world, for the sake of huge interests, will definitely start wars non-stop.

Although Liu Wenzhong has never been in business, he understands that no one can calm down after getting used to making quick money.There is no difference between this mode of war and business in essence, and even this kind of war has become a kind of business.

Turning war into business is something Liu Wenzhong never dared to think about.Turning war into a business makes Liu Wenzhong feel horrible just thinking about it.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Liu Wenzhong still understands these simple truths.

Liu Wenzhong is afraid that one day, this country will be dragged into the abyss because of this model.

Liu Wenzhong raised his head and looked at Zhao Wen, "Your Majesty, if this is true, the whole world will go crazy because of this model.

At that time, for the sake of huge interests, the whole country will inevitably start wars non-stop.At that time, I am afraid that all people will focus on their own interests and forget about moral integrity.

At that time, if you want to restrain them, it will not be possible to do it with simple laws.At that time, this group of warmongers will definitely coerce the country into continuously launching wars, turning war into a business to make a fortune.

Under the obsession with profit, no one can stop, and everyone will be crazy because of this way of making quick money. When the time comes, no one in the country will be able to calm down.

Your Majesty, I don't dare to think about such a scene, I really don't dare to think about it.That would be a scene where the ceremony collapses and the joy breaks down, I really dare not think about it.

Your Majesty, this method is not advisable.If it is to eliminate those threats, I agree.But if His Majesty turns war into a business, I absolutely cannot agree.

From ancient times to the present, war is war, and war can only be war. "

Zhao Wen did not answer, but recalled the country where the industrial revolution first appeared.

Isn't that the reason why the steaming country grew into an empire on which the sun never sets?
