Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "Look at the late emperor. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had only a population of more than 200 million households, and it was difficult to form a large army. However, the late emperor still took action and defeated the Turks in one fell swoop. This is how we have today's prosperity... If the Turks still If it is strong and prosperous, the Tang Dynasty today will certainly not be able to reach its peak. Prince, you have to remember that there is no second day."
If Jia Ping'an was here, it would be a sentence: One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female.
"As for finding an opponent..." The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more interesting and practical the idea became. "Without an opponent, the Tang Dynasty will be both civil and military, and the soldiers will slack off if they don't fight for a long time. Will be full of fat... When Tang Wentian and Wuxi are playing, the emperor can't stop it even if he wants to."
Wu Mei added: "It was like this in the former Jin Dynasty. The whole family was beaten to death, but they forgot that the barbarians were staring at them, ruining a good situation."
"As for being poor..." Li Zhi suddenly smiled, "The fighting in the Tang Dynasty these years is actually not poor. Most of the troops sent by the Tang Dynasty are based on the government soldiers. The foreign army. The foreign army brought its own food and grass, and the government soldiers also prepared a lot of things, and the cost of the government treasury was not much."
"Then what will support it?"
Li Hong was puzzled.
Li Zhi smiled, "What do you rely on? It depends on the spoils. After each conquest, a considerable part of the spoils will be rewarded to the foreign army and the government soldiers. In other words, it is those opponents who maintain the Great Tang army... ..."
He suddenly came to his senses, "If there is no opponent, how will the government soldiers maintain it?"
Wu Mei nodded, "The government soldiers are looking forward to following the expedition and sharing the spoils."
So they rejoiced at the news of the war.
Li Hong understood.
"Jia Pingan said that the world is a jungle, and I think so. Wulang, you have to remember that there have never been any aliens who bowed their heads and ears, and some were just afraid aliens who wanted to follow Datang to fight and gain benefits..."
"Is that so?" Li Hong gradually realized, "The uncle said... In fact, the Great Tang should cooperate with other races to benefit both. If it is beneficial to follow the Great Tang, they will bow their heads and obey their ears. This is what they agree with. If they disagree... ..."
He looked up, and the Empress looked at him with a smile.
"The one who disagrees is the opponent!"
"Hahahaha!"
The emperor laughed happily, very pleased.
After a long time, Li Zhi said: "Prince, remember that Confucian scholars are not acceptable. Let's see who is the Han Yuan Emperor who used Confucian scholars? He is timid and has no opinions... Such an emperor is the most suitable for Confucianism..."
These words... too much humiliation!I really wanted to come out and argue, but... the faces of the princes and officials turned red, but they didn't move.
It really is the threshold monkey that uncle said!
Li Hong was thoughtful.
Li Zhi looked at them contemptuously, "Confucianism can be enlightened, you can read it on weekdays, and cultivate yourself... But you must not delve into it... Why do you go to study Confucianism? Think about how to behave? You are a prince, and there is no such thing as Confucianism. Tell you how to be a prince, I am the one who can tell you!"
There is a lot of wisdom in Confucianism, and there are some thoughts on governing the country, but in Li Zhi's eyes, those thoughts on governing the country are just a joke.
Wu Mei said slowly: "I spend my whole life thinking about being a human being... Then what do I do with my life? I have been taught by my parents and teachers since I was a child, and Confucianism can also provide some teachings. It's... an obsession."
……
In fact, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty couldn't get up.
Jia Pingan didn't say that.
Because if you talk about it, it will involve the powerful group.
Looking at those dynasties in history, what is the reason why the people cannot survive?
Exorbitant taxes, excessive levies... the common people seem to be able to bear it.But once the tyrants take the stage... they rob openly and secretly, wishing they could squeeze out the bone marrow of the common people.
Are there many powerful Tang Dynasty people now?
many!
But at this moment, the field can still maintain the equal-field system, and it can also temporarily satisfy the tyrants' appetites that seem to have no bottom line, and the people can still live, so the Guozuo of Datang seems to be thriving.
Now Fang Wai has restrained a lot, but Fang Wai's anger is burning hot, and Jia Ping'an feels that he is seeking his own death if he starts to attack Hao Qiang again.
Moreover, the crisis in Datang is not only local tyrants, but also management at all levels and powerful relatives, etc... These people are like bloodsuckers. Tang's body was desperately sucking blood.Even though their bodies were about to burst due to sucking too much blood, they still sucked their heads down and sucked madly until death...
Therefore, anyone who talks about integrity and self-consciousness with Jia Pingan must say that this person is Sabi.
The so-called learning from the past, look at those powerful and high-ranking officials in history... What is integrity?
Selfish desire is king.
And the dynasty that can last forever is not because the upper class is not greedy enough, but because the cake is made bigger enough for those people to share the fat.
Wait for now!
Jia Pingan left the palace in a happy mood, and happened to meet Li Jingye.
"Where?"
Li Jingye said with a smile: "Last night Baiqi entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest people. A small official stopped him and was beaten. The entire Ministry of Criminal Justice was filled with righteous indignation. Everyone shouted for impeachment and revenge...but no one dared to move. I said I will go." , a group of people... Brother, look back."
Jia Pingan glanced back.
A group of officials!
Then everyone arrived at Baiqi in a mighty manner.
Li Jingye yelled: "Who beat the little official of the Ministry of Punishment last night?"
No one has ever come to challenge Baiqi, this is a precedent.
Hundreds of riders rushed out.
Jia Ping stepped back, "I will not help each other, but don't be cruel, otherwise Yeye will teach him how to behave."
The Baiqi felt relieved, "Who is going to challenge Baiqi?"
Li Jingye took a step forward.
"You did it last night?"
Baiqi nodded, "What?"
"Yeah let me punch you."
Li Jingye took a step back, "Hurry up, yeah yeah busy."
Baiqi's complexion changed, and he turned around to ask for help.
Damn, that's all for others, how can we stop Li Jingye, a bear?
Help!
