Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

"If I become His Majesty in the future, then I think Datang should be such a country."

"Militarily, it must be strong enough and always stay ahead."

"Politically, if you want to be enlightened enough, you should formulate national policies from the perspective of living a better life."

“Culturally, it’s better to let a hundred flowers bloom.”

"In terms of diplomacy, we must maintain an active foreign policy, and this diplomacy must be extended to globalization."

"..."

can only say……

What Li Zhong said is too general.

Li Chun didn't understand a single sentence, but it was not difficult to see that Li Chong still had his own ideas.

At this time, Li Chun also said: "You said that in the military, you must be strong enough, and you must always maintain the lead."

"Then what are your specific measures?"

Li Chong said: "It's very simple! Spend money!"

"As long as the money is in place, there is nothing in this world that cannot be done."

"Weapons and equipment can be upgraded with money."

"Soldier, you can spend money to recruit."

"As long as the weapons and equipment are ahead of others, then when you start a war, you will also be ahead of others."

"As long as the soldiers know that the court treats him well, then every soldier can be made to work hard."

"Soldiers have to recruit people from poor areas to act, because people who are used to a good life, they all know that it is not worth it to die for that little money."

Li Chun: "You also know that people who are used to a good life will not use their lives for a little money."

"Then do you think, how much money will the soldiers use their lives?"

Li Chong: "Aye, what you want to say is whether this will become a bottomless pit."

"Don't worry, there are a lot of poor people in this world."

"And there will always be poor people."

"As long as you give them a little favor, they will use their lives."

Li Chun: "So...that's why when you asked Zhou Ze to recruit soldiers, you always recruited poor people?"

Li Chong: "So Aye, you sent someone to make an unannounced visit."

Li Chunxin said, how could this be called an unannounced visit.

He sent people to see it openly, okay?

Li Chun said again: "But if you're like you, and you only want to spend money, then there will be less money in the treasury that can be used in other places. At that time, what if the money is not enough?"

Li Zhong said: "So... in terms of finances, we must continue to open source."

"It's like the Ministry of Culture, you know the current income, Aye."

"What would Datang be like without the Ministry of Culture?"

"With the addition of the Ministry of Culture, what about now?"

Li Chun: "..."

Li Chong: "I have read history books all over, and the smartest thing the ancients did was to solve financial difficulties through salt and iron taxes."

"Those who are as rude as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are directly stealing money from the rich to go to war."

"However, these methods are not clever."

"To be smart, it has to be the Li family, and it still has to be the method formulated by the ancestors of the Li family many years ago."

"Personally go to sea to do business to make up for the national treasury."

"only……"

"Not everyone can do business in the sea."

"You must not have too much greed. Just think about it. If the Li family was greedy for money and put all the money they should have earned into their own pockets, would the Li family still exist today?"

"I can't say that there are absolutely no people in the world who are as sober as the Li family, but they are definitely very few."

"If Datang wants to develop in a higher direction, then the handling of business, how to control business reasonably, and obtain tax revenue from commodity transactions, must be learned."

"It seems that the past dynasties have been more inclined to emphasize agriculture and suppress business."

"But it's understandable."

"After all, most of these businessmen are extremely cunning. Those who can evade taxes will definitely never pay taxes."

"The only way to solve this problem is to continuously develop technology and formulate a reasonable system, or..."

"Cultivate a Li family, let the Li family support half of Datang's fiscal and tax revenue."

"I believe that the reason why the Tang Dynasty can have such a prosperous scene today, and it can last for almost 200 years, is definitely because the head of the Li family and Emperor Taizong Wen had a high vision."

"and……"

"There is another benefit to controlling business."

Li Chun: "What's the benefit?"

Li Zhong: "Naturally, it is to control the distribution of wealth in the world. Aye, just think about it, if an ordinary person can have enough to eat every day, would he think of rebelling?"

Li Chun: "Of course not."

Li Chong: "Then why, in the middle and later stages of the dynasties, there will always be people who don't have enough to eat and want to rebel?"

Li Chun: "It's nothing more than a natural disaster or a man-made disaster."

Li Chong: "How many natural disasters are there in the Tang Dynasty now? Are there few man-made disasters?"

Li Chun: "There are many natural disasters, but there are also many man-made disasters."

Li Chong: "Aye, do you think that the people of Datang today want to rebel?"

Li Chun: "Ah..."

"I can't see it for now."

"That's because the court provided disaster relief in a timely manner."

Li Chong: "I'm afraid that timely disaster relief is only one aspect, and timely disaster relief can only solve temporary problems."

"In my opinion, the reason why the common people don't feel the need to rebel is because they all know that if they can't survive in their hometown, they can still have enough to eat in other places."

"And...the Li family can feed them well, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"Then why can the Li family feed them?"

"Could it be... the Li family can print money? Or can the Li family make the world lose food?"

"In the final analysis, it is the Li family that has the ability to control the flow of wealth in the world."

"I remember, it should be Lao Tzu, who once said such a sentence."

"The way of heaven is to damage more than enough to make up for what is not enough. The way of man is not the same. The damage is not enough to give more than enough."

"Because of the way of human beings, there is more than enough damage to give."

"So... once the rich make money, they will never distribute it to the poor, and even continue to exploit the poor."

"In fact... it is the same when you are an emperor or a minister of the court."

"Every time I look at the records of the subjugation of the country in the history books, it is always that the emperor and ministers had good food and drink, but the people could only eat grass."

"Once the people have no way out, what else can they do if they don't rebel?"

"Then if the emperor and the ministers know that the people can't live on, they should divide the people up so that the country can last."

"If the emperor and ministers understood this truth, would they willingly take part of their money and distribute it to the poor?"

"As said above, they absolutely do not!"

"So... Aye, I think that no matter what dynasty it is, as long as it can't change this fact, and can't reverse the nature of 'people's way, the damage is not enough to give more.', then this dynasty will definitely be in the Die when it should die."

"If we put the current Tang Dynasty in the Han Dynasty."

"Then the Tang Dynasty at this time should be the late Western Han Dynasty."

"The annexation of land is serious, and the people who lost their land are forced to become refugees or slaves. A large-scale uprising is secretly brewing."

"The reason why Datang is still so good now." "I thought...the Li family played a pivotal role here."

"I seem to be able to see how the ancestors of the Li family planned with Emperor Taizong Wen that if you can marry all the princesses to me, Your Majesty, I can give Datang many years of national fortune."

"Externally, he suggested the implementation of enfeoffment, so that the Tang Dynasty would have no external troubles for more than a hundred years. Internally, he developed technology, promoted commercial prosperity, and controlled the flow of wealth so that all wealth would not go to the rich. Control the world balance of wealth."

"If you want to use the ancient sages to describe him, then he is the Duke of Zhou plus Guan Zhong and Mozi."

"The key is……"

"He is a hundred times smarter than Duke Zhou plus Guan Zhong and Mozi."

"It is estimated that there will be someone as smart as him in future generations, and only I can barely reach it."

"Well! I think, I'm okay."

Li Chun: "..."

Li Chun looked at Li Chong and nodded fiercely, his brows were also wrinkled like twists and turns.

Li Chong: "I think that the current Tang Dynasty is like the Zhou Dynasty. Sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty will definitely decline."

"If we do nothing."

"I seem to be able to see the day when Datang falls."

"Of course!"

"The Liao Kingdom and the Jiaozhi Kingdom are actually not much better."

"At least...we don't have so many loving fathers and filial sons in Tang Dynasty."

"However... there is a saying that is also good, born in sorrow and died in peace."

"So... it's time to see who among the three of us dies the fastest."

"I'll hazard a guess."

"In the not-too-distant future, a new country will rise from overseas."

"This country is tired of all kinds of etiquette and tired of the control of the imperial court."

"Therefore...their citizens decided to build a country without a court."

"Everyone in any country discusses it together."

Li Chun: "..."

Seeing himself, Aye was looking at himself in a daze.

Li Chong also said: "I'm just guessing."

"It's just... the general law of the development of things, it's always like this."

"Aye, tell me, are there other people in this world besides us Earthlings?"

Li Chun: "..."

This is too jumpy!
Li Zhong said again: "I thought, the universe is so big, there must be other people like us."

"But I won't mention these anymore."

"I think Datang should consider how to become Qin at this time."

"otherwise……"

"If it is still like those dynasties in the history books, just giving birth to emperors who do nothing, or even make things worse, then... Even if the Tang Dynasty is not dead now, it will not be 100 years in the future. Years, 200 years, we are still going to die.”

"now……"

"From the memorials, it can already be seen that there are conflicts of interests between countries."

"In the past hundred years, both the Liao and Jiaozhi countries have used the Tang Dynasty as a country to dump goods."

"Selling their chilies, peppers, spices, etc."

"But over the years, Datang has also been able to produce chili peppers and peppers."

"Then their chili, pepper sales fell."

"They have to find a way to reopen the gate of our Tang Dynasty, which has become the top priority."

"The Liao Kingdom can still sell ships."

"Jiaozhi is barely able to sell other spices."

"But man's greed is unlimited."

"If you are looking for other substitutes, and we don't have them in Datang, or lack them, the other party will probably only be willing to sell them at a higher price."

"One to two..."

"If it's still within the scope of bargaining, then that's fine."

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, and I start fighting all of a sudden."

"So I think, especially now that the Liao Kingdom has a new emperor, we should pay more attention to the formation and training of the new army."

"There needs to be a greater focus on national defense."

"I haven't seen the current Tang army, and I don't know how they are doing now."

"But anyone who has read history books will know that the armament must have been dismantled long ago."

"Maybe... the barrel of this musket is already rusted."

After Li Zhong said that...

Then, I saw him Aye seemed to be looking at him seriously all of a sudden.

Li Zhongxin couldn't help but thumped, thinking in his heart, why, he behaved too well?
"Aye, why do you look like that?"

Then Li Chong imitated the other party's appearance.

Li Chun couldn't help being amused from his original seriousness.

But he quickly settled down, and said, "Aye just didn't expect...you seem to be much more sensible than Aye thought."

Li Chong: "I'm no longer a three-year-old, so... Aye!"

Li Chun: "Huh?"

Li Chong: "Don't worry. Get together with Auntie at the next meeting."

Li Chun: "..."

Li Chong: "My son, I can take good care of myself, and... I can also take good care of my sister."

Li Chun: "..."

"You really want Aye to die soon?"

"Also ask Aye to get together with your mother early."

Li Chong quickly said: "Aye, you are suffering from wind disease, if you continue to work so hard, you will only be killed."

"The reason why I didn't advise you not to work so hard is because I think that people can't live without pursuit. If people have no pursuit, then living is better than not living. What's the difference with a walking dead?"

"Especially if you are still the prince."

"If it's an ordinary family, it's okay to stay at home when you're sick."

"But because you are a prince, the road of power, once you step on it, there is no turning back, you can only keep climbing."

"Otherwise... what about those courtiers who originally took refuge in you?"

"Of course!"

"I'm quite confident, even if you are no good, Aye, I can take them all in."

Li Chun: "..."

Li Zhong then walked over seriously, patted his Aye on the shoulder, and said: "Aye! Live for yourself, not for me. Nor for sister."

Say it!

Li Zhong glanced at Li Chun again, turned his back, shook his head, and left silently.

Li Chun frowned and looked at Li Zhong's leaving figure.

Can't help muttering: "Is this the behavior that a 12-year-old should have?" (End of this chapter)
