back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 252
Shi Chengxing said flatteringly: "Xianzheng is humble, Xiangzheng's arrow is comparable to a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, directly suppressing the Khitan people for three years. The people of Dashun are also very grateful."

Fatty Lu knew that he was flattering deliberately, but the flattery was so comfortable that it hit Fatty Lu's heart. Even though the technique of flattery was too rough, Fatty Lu accepted it happily.

While being happy, Fatty Lu, who also knows how to be "reserved", maintained his usual "humble" demeanor very well, and said: "Not to mention, not to mention..."

Lu Chenhuan, who had a strategy in mind, looked very happy at the moment, and he had forgotten about those troublesome water thieves.No, I also asked about Shi Chengxing's martial arts cultivation, military strategy and so on.

But when Chengxing is a big bastard, where can he get a famous teacher to teach martial arts?All of his moves rely on the three-character tactic of "fast, accurate, and ruthless" to barely rise to this position and win the approval of the soldiers in the army.

This person, when he was young, he could be fearless and dare to fight hard; but once he got married and started a business, he would look forward and backward, worry about gains and losses, and completely lost the courage of his youth.Shi Chengxing was such an example, that after Lu Chenhuan asked a few words, he was not interested in asking any more.

Fatty Lu, who was in a good mood, stood up and walked to Shi Chengxing's side. Fatty Lu was half a head taller than Shi Chengxing, and his figure was not of the same level. He patted his shoulder and said, "You still have to learn something." It’s good stuff. I’m not familiar with water warfare, so I don’t dare to comment, but your...what does your Majesty say, yes, the tactical literacy is too low, and you need to read more military books!”

Shi Chengxing smiled wryly and said: "Xiang Zheng, you are a strong man! Those square characters can recognize the general, but the latter can't recognize him, and he can't even read the characters. How can you read the book of war?"

Fatty Lu said earnestly and earnestly: "I was like this before, but I still persevered. There is nothing difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart. If you are so unmotivated, you will be like this for the rest of your life at most... Well, I will finish my words Here, you can listen to it if you can, and forget it if you can’t.”

After all, Fatty Lu also felt that there was nothing to stay in. After understanding the situation, he already had a bottom line in his heart, and he didn't need to stay in this small water village anymore.After saying this, Fatty Lu didn't stop, he opened the door of the Chinese military tent, and bent out of the tent.

Shi Chengxing was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why this fat man was bragging about his past, but he felt that this fat man treated people pretty well, at least with a sincere feeling.What he thought in his mind was: "I don't want to be promoted, and I am content with a commander Dangdang..."

There is no way, some people are too easily satisfied, while some people will keep chasing for the goal in their hearts.These two kinds of people can't say who is right and who is wrong, and everyone has their own way of choosing their own future.But a person who doesn't work hard is not qualified to be called a person who has worked a thousand times harder. After all, he has made efforts, even if he doesn't succeed, he will do it.People who don't work hard will never experience the feeling of constantly moving forward for the goal, and the sense of accomplishment of achieving the goal step by step.The word empathy is actually only suitable for like-minded people.Different road non-phase plan.It's not speculative, and Fatty Lu feels this way.

But there is no way, the Central Plains people have always been like this, most people lack the spirit of enterprising, but seek stability.Even if you make money from doing business, you have to buy one-third of an acre of land in your hometown, so you can have confidence.Not to mention those officials who have returned to their hometowns, they look down on businessmen, and want to exchange the money in their hands for fertile land, at least for future generations.

If it is not forced by life, who is willing to take huge risks to do business?You must know that in this era, the cost of doing business is very high, and the risks are also great. If you are not careful, you will lose all your wealth.Out of the idea of ​​stability, not to mention scholar-bureaucrats, even the emperor wanted to restrain businessmen.Only Lu Chengqi, the soul from later generations, understands the output in the land. With the development of society, this production method will be far behind by commerce.Dashun's economic prosperity was not inferior to that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and even approached the most prosperous period of the Southern Song Dynasty.If someone can push the boat along the way at this time, let the business break through the shackles, complete the transformation to the germination of capitalism, and take care of this seed, perhaps the history of the Central Plains will be completely different.

But this process is long.What is missing is not material things, but ideas.How could the Central Plains people, who have been imprisoned by Confucianism for thousands of years, accept such "deviating" ideas so quickly?

Confucianism has been deeply rooted. After Dong Zhongshu and dozens of generations of transformation, Confucianism has gone far from the thought of Confucius.The original Confucianism is tolerant to all rivers, as long as it is beneficial, it absorbs it; now it has become a tool for the emperor to fool the people, and it has changed, only to imprison and fool the people again and again.As a result of this, often during the famine years, ignorant foolish men and women will be provoked by some people, lose their basic judgment, join the bandits, and become "rebels" who cause disasters, which not only accelerates the consumption of national power, but also It makes people panic, and even a change of dynasty is not impossible.

It's just going on and on again and again, when people's minds are settled, they will continue to establish another dynasty and begin to rule for hundreds of years.Such a historical cycle, under the inertia of history, how can it be reversed if the people's minds are not awakened?

The national conditions in the Central Plains are complicated, and the imperial system has been recognized since ancient times. It is probably very unrealistic to want to start a bourgeois revolution.The only way is to go from top to bottom and take a few generations to complete the ideological revolution before it is possible to jump out of this historical cycle.

Of course, Fatty Lu and Shi Chengxing couldn't think of these problems. Even Lu Chengqi could only use his personal influence to slowly transform the dynasty.He has always firmly believed that his new law will not destroy the government due to the different starting points.There are too many such lessons in history. Wang Anshi's reform and Zhang Juzheng's reform, which one did not end with their downfall or death?The reason is that they were eliminated miserably because their fundamental starting point was to maintain and consolidate the existing imperial power or the power of the cabinet, which was inconsistent with the general trend of history.

History is like a mirror. Since the path of the "predecessors" has been proved to be wrong, it is imperative to avoid minefields and open up a new path.Lu Chengqi, who has knowledge beyond a thousand years, is his greatest advantage in this aspect!
Shi Chengxing, who slandered Fatty Lu in his heart, chased him out and said, "Xiangzheng is going back?"

Fatty Lu said without turning his head: "I am going to give a report to His Majesty at this moment, I don't have time to stay any longer, so I will leave!" As soon as the words fell, Fatty Lu had already stepped on the mount led by his own soldiers, a big black horse The belly of the horse rushed out of the water village first.The rest of the soldiers also reined in their horses and followed.

Seeing the twenty or so riders leaving in Juechen, Shi Chengxing sneered, and said in his heart: "Even if we can mobilize the warships, we have to wait a few months. By then, it will be freezing and snowy. Let's see if you dare to sail the boats." Go into the water and have a fight with water thieves?"
