Datang first village

Li Yuanxing's sixteen-character mantra silenced everything Li Er, Li Yuan, and Li Jing said. .

Terrible?

After a long battle, the three of them felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

On the contrary, at this time, Li Yuanxing added a special sentence: "If grandpa is the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, I have only one way to use it. That is to kill everyone in the enemy country, everyone!"

Li Yuanxing said everyone twice in a row.

Li Er shook his head lightly: "Wulang, the Great Tang ruled the world with virtue. You can't kill it, and you dare not kill it. Fortunately, the enemy army is not under the command of your uncle, so there is a way to break it."

The cabinet master smiled and lit a cigarette: "Actually, it's not that scary, it's just Baiyue. It happened to be training soldiers for the Tang Dynasty, and the real enemy is still far away. That's when the test will come. Yuan Xing, you may have memorized another Famous work "On Protracted War."

Li Yuanxing smiled wryly: "It's a masterpiece, whether it is as a defensive side or an offensive side. I have benefited a lot from reading this book. I have it, but I have never dared to spread it. In case people read it, Not to mention anything else, just Goguryeo and the Japanese, they killed me."

"There is such an art of war? I wonder if it was written by that great sage?" Li Jing asked curiously.

"This book is not the Art of War, it should be a kind of strategic thinking. It can be said that it is higher than the Art of War, but it is also derived from the Art of War. It is a book produced under a specific environment and a specific background. The sixteen characters just now The mantra is a part of the art of war in this book." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he turned to look at the cabinet master: "Grandfather, is it appropriate for me to say this?"

The cabinet master nodded slightly: "You have caught the skin."

This is scratching the surface.Li Er and the other three already thought that what Li Yuanxing said was excellent, and it could be said that he raised the war to a whole new level.But it's just scratching the surface.

Li Yuanxing laughed: "One more thing, war is an extension of politics?"

"Well, I'll add ten points to you!" The cabinet master still didn't show his satisfaction.

Li Er said for Li Yuanxing at this time: "Goro has an article on the five wars. Among them, cultural wars and political wars are the core, and the last is the theory of military confrontation. Silla and Baekje won without fighting. This is already Great feat!"

"In fact, Yuan Xing has done a good job. The last difficulty of this theory still needs to be overcome. With my Chinese land as the center, the surrounding small countries are more or less influenced by my Chinese civilization, so civilization invasion is feasible. But if the other party's The cultural background and beliefs are completely different from my Huaxia, this is the final full marks question!"

Li Yuanxing shook his head helplessly: "I have no cure. I can't think of any other than forced slavery."

"It seems that I, an old man, still has some uses." The cabinet master laughed: "I have studied for 50 years, and I learned a trick from the whip, which is called anti-fusion. The first is to shave the head, and the last is to keep the whip. Goro, what do you think of the relationship among them, first find a family to do an experiment!"

Li Yuanxing understood, but Li Er was even more confused.

"Grandpa set up a school in my mansion. This theory cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Datang has some excellent generals. It is still useful to listen to grandpa's strategy. To deal with Baiyue, we must re-train troops, and grandpa also helps I'll train up to [-] elites. And then, let's use Ah San for this experiment!"

"Yuanxing, you have finally grown up!" After the cabinet master praised: "Training is necessary, and the theory of military art of each general must also be taught. But I still need a group of people, the number of which is not less than 1000 people at the grassroots level." Officer. A lot of tactics are executed at the captain level, so train them first."

After the master of the cabinet finished speaking, Li Yuanxing explained to Li Er: "Brother Emperor, Baiyue is not easy to fight. The supply line is too long and the terrain is too complicated. Moreover, we are of a different race from Tang Dynasty. This needs to be considered in the long run, at least three years. But the problem now is that the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty are full of prey, and it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to go to war in an all-round way, let alone fight every year. Brother Huang needs to find a solution to this problem, and the steps taken in the past two years are too big and not solid !"

Li Er pointed to Li Jing: "The pharmacist is the order of Zhongshu, he came and went to find a way!"

Li Jing looked embarrassed, it was not right to accept this, and it was not wrong to not answer.

Answered the call, he couldn't solve this problem.

If you don't answer, you will throw the Emperor Tang empty.

"Forget it, let's settle the peninsula first. For Baiyue, first occupy a small area before discussing!" After the master of the cabinet made a suggestion, Li Jing hurried down the donkey: "What the emperor said is very true!"

"Then, go back to each house now, and sleep?" Li Yuanxing smiled.

Li Er glared at Li Yuanxing: "Uncle, go back to rest first, Wulang stay."

Li Yuan smiled and asked the cabinet master to leave with him, and he planned to personally send the cabinet master to the resting place.Li Jing also left.

When there were only Li Yuanxing and Li Er in the study, Li Er opened a bottle of wine, ordered Eunuch Gao to get some side dishes, and then moved to the small table with Li Yuanxing and sat down.

"Goro, in our lifetime, can we see what you said. Where there is sunshine, there is the flag of Tang Dynasty?"

"It's not difficult. The difficulty lies in whether you can see in your lifetime that the whole world is the land of the Tang Dynasty. So I said, Brother Huang should start to take care of it now. Sun Laodao's health-preserving skills are good, and those third-rate pills in the Taoist sect are all It's a lie, there is no immortality."

Li Er agrees with Li Yuanxing's words.

After nodding his head, Li Er asked again: "Goro, the next five years. What are your strategic ideas?"

Li Yuanxing didn't answer immediately, and sat there silently.

Li Er didn't urge him, but just looked at the form about the autumn harvest report.

A full half an hour passed.

Li Yuanxing has been thinking about everything since he came to Datang, everything he did, his original plan, and everything else. Li Yuanxing has been reflecting on everything.

"Brother Huang, let's talk about some mistakes first!"

"Say it!" Li Er put down the watch in his hand, signaling Li Yuanxing to start.

"Let's talk about the biggest mistake first. I think that I don't have much time, and I want to leave more for Datang. So many things are very radical. Let me talk about the first point, which is industrialization. In the case of insufficient agricultural security , Industrialization will directly lead to a substantial increase in productivity, and a large number of non-agricultural items will appear. When the people have no money, once there are too many goods, they will become a burden.”

Li Er has read political economy, he understands Li Yuanxing's words.

"The way I solve it is to keep going to war, increase income by fighting, and consume too much non-food materials by fighting. But in order to maintain the victory of the war, I ordered the manufacture of flying boats. If Datang builds flying boats five years later, The cost would drop to one-third, so this is a huge waste of money, material and manpower!"

"So, according to my opinion, don't fight. But now I can't do it without fighting. I have done a thing of drinking poison to quench my thirst. Only by fighting can the domestic consumption contradiction be eliminated."

"People's livelihood needs rest!" Li Er gave an evaluation.

"In the next five years, wars will still be fought, but there will be no more national wars. Datang will use all its national power to increase the income of the people. Even if this is the case, the increase in the income of the people will still not keep up with the domestic The blowout growth of various goods, so this requires war again. This war is different from occupying land, but occupying resources and occupying the market. Let Datang's materials be sold without limit. This point, Li Lanshan's theoretical knowledge higher than me."

Li Er thought about it carefully, and what Li Yuanxing said belonged to the idea of ​​being prepared for danger in times of peace.

correct!

"In June next year, we will annex the entire peninsula. We will start to complete the integration. The goal of the integration is to make the peninsula a point of relaxation for the conflicts of all classes in Datang. They have cheap labor, and they have huge material needs. That's the way of thinking. Then Come down, I need to think about the matter of Wa Island. It is only a matter of time before Baiyue is fought. The cabinet master is the same as me, and I don’t like too many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty dying!"

Li Yuanxing loves soldiers, and Li Er knows this.

Now that Li Yuanxing said so, Li Er also understood, and thought that Li Yuanxing was influenced by the cabinet master.

"Fighting Baiyue, the real war will be two years later. In these two years, some seaports in Baiyue may be occupied for the entry and exit of Datang merchant ships. Starting next year, Datang will fully develop agriculture and light industries that are fundamental to people's livelihood. What do you think brother?"

"This proposal is very good. But Wu Lang, if you say a word, all the officials will be too busy." There is something in Li Er's words.

That means, you, Li Yuanxing, said that the development of people's livelihood, Datang is so big, it is such a huge and meticulous workload for each prefecture and county.

"Just add some officials appropriately."

"Officials have to be supported by the court!" Li Er smiled, obviously adding more officials is not an easy task.

"Then I have two suggestions. The first one is that officials no longer distribute land, but only pay money. That is, how much salary an official has every month, just spend money to buy what he wants. Don't give any more land. Another suggestion is to find a way to take back all the fiefdoms, and the titles are divided into actual titles and false titles."

Hearing what Li Yuanxing said, Li Er asked back: "Then, there is no fiefdom, and only money?"

Li Yuanxing nodded.

Li Er shook his head: "Wu Lang, how much money do you have as a treasury?"

"Cui Junsu believes that after the tax reform, the national treasury will be tight for one to two years. I don't think so. After the tax system is reformed, the tax may be higher than before in the first year. Brother, don't underestimate the business tax. For income, now we only need to make the business tax more reasonable. Also, support the government-run workshop, and the income of this workshop will go to the treasury. Only one flour mill in Chang'an is enough to feed all the officials below the third grade in Chang'an!"

After thinking about the official workshop, Li Er shook his head and refused.

"It's not feasible. The king does not compete with the people for profit. This principle cannot be easily broken. You and I are alive, and there are restrictions. What about the future? So this opening cannot be opened."

Li Yuanxing shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, let's change the way of thinking. Choose a few, how about the government?"

"For example?" Li Er asked back.

"Fertilizer factories, pesticide factories, patent medicine factories, raw material refineries for various metals such as iron and steel. And there is..." Li Yuanxing hesitated a little. Real estate government-run is definitely not a good thing. Although it is beneficial, [***] Also big. (To be continued.)
