Chapter 193: Only benefits (second update)

"Chen Lang, what is the meaning of doing this?" Li Xiuning said in confusion: "The Western Regions have poured into your countless efforts. It is no exaggeration to say that the Western Regions are like your child. Now this child has just learned to speak. Are you really willing to give him away?"

Chen Ying was obviously stunned. He really didn't expect Li Xiuning to ask this tricky question. Chen Ying's face became cold, as if he was talking to himself: "The world is Chang'an, Sanniang, do you think... do you know what the world is Chang'an?"

Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "The way of the great way is that the world is the public. Choose virtuous and capable, and be faithful and harmonious. Therefore, friends do not only care about their relatives, not only their sons, but also their sons, so that the elderly can have something to live, strong and have something to use, young and have good karma, and those who are lonely and disabled have something to support them. Men have a share, women have a return. If goods hate them, they don't have to hide themselves; if they hate them, they don't have to do anything to themselves. Therefore, they are closed but not promising, steal and thieves do not do anything, so they do not close their homes, which is called great harmony. This is the Chang'an of the world in Xiuning's mind."

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said seriously: "Sanniang, it's a pity that you are not a man. You have the whole world and the country, not your own selfish interests, honor and disgrace. If you were the crown prince, how lucky the Tang Dynasty would be!"

Li Xiuning was not misled by Chen Ying, turned around and looked at Chen Ying and said, "Don't interrupt, why did you think you did this?"

Chen Ying sighed and said, "Do you still remember the three current problems of the Tang Dynasty that I mentioned to you?"

Li Xiuning nodded silently.

"Actually, this is not my worry about nothing, nor is it a sensational problem, but a real problem!" Chen Ying said in a deep voice: "The Tang Dynasty is like a newborn calf. Relying on its own immunity, it can cover up all minor illnesses and disasters. As the saying goes, one white covers up all ugliness, but once a natural disaster occurs, the Tang Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty!"

Financial issues are major issues for a country. The current situation facing the Tang Dynasty is not many ways for Li Yuan to choose. Unlike the peasant uprising leaders, Li Yuan himself relies on the power of peasant clans, but on the power of aristocratic clans. He cannot destroy the old aristocratic clans and establish a new aristocratic clan like peasant uprisings.

When Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were just eliminated, Li Yuan could also use the annexation of Henan and Hebei. Hebei’s land was used to balance the interests of the aristocratic clans and clans. However, if you want to unify the world, you must have a huge economic foundation in order to stabilize the rule of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty. The trick of "breaking the local tyrants and sharing the land" was simply not advisable in this era. Doing so would only push these gentry and landlord classes to the opposite side.

However, the financial problems of the Tang Dynasty have now deteriorated to the point where they must be solved. Li Yuan adopted the system of renting and mediocre renting and mediocre, but only curing the symptoms but not the root cause. It is certainly a way to support the war. But the biggest problem in doing so is that he can only win, not lose. If he fails, he will collapse in an instant.

Even though Wei Zheng proposed to Li Jiancheng to balance the aristocratic families with poor families, the poor family at this time was like a small bud, exposed too early and would only be destroyed by the storm.

Chen Ying was very clear that the Chinese nation has been spinning in a circle throughout the dynasties, from division to unity, from prosperity and strength, and then to irreconcilable internal class contradictions, and eventually broke out. After dozens or hundreds of years of melee, the population weakened to a very terrifying time. At this time, the land of China was enough to feed enough people, even if it was unified, prosperous, and decayed, and this vicious circle of fate has been repeated.

If Chen Ying did nothing, the Tang Dynasty would still move towards a path of continuous expansion as in history. This is because the interests of the noble class of the Tang Dynasty and the old aristocratic families were unevenly distributed, and there were only two paths before the Tang Dynasty, either continuous expansion or self-destruction.

Fighting to fight is like doing business. It is good when you make a profit without losing money. But once the investment fails, the accumulated contradictions will explode one after another.

Although the contradictions in the Tang Dynasty have begun to appear at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they are far from irreconcilable. Chen Ying is actually using the successful experience of later generations to experiment with a curse-like circle that can break the Chinese nation.

The traditional Confucianism of China made Confucian scholars ashamed of profit. In fact, it is not that the economic theory of China was very backward, and economic means and management were even more backward. This is an indisputable fact. The Han Dynasty censor (deputy prime minister) Sang Hongyang was known as a famous politician and financial expert in China in history. In fact, if Sang Hongyang was a politician, his so-called financial management policy was nothing more than salt and iron, tea and wine.

It was also more than two thousand years ago that the market monopoly and free pricing was set. In later generations, even a primary school student knew that monopolizing the industry would definitely make money. Sang Hongyang just saw this one step ahead.

It sounds very absurd. The aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty are actually more like chaebols. They have a lot of wealth and money in their hands. Once the world is peaceful and business is excited, the wealth operated by the aristocratic families for generations and dozens of generations will pour into the market. In this way, the market economy will be filled with these large amounts of hot money, causing a devastating blow.

For example, with the reform of environmental governance, the financial and stock markets are sluggish, and a large amount of hot money is pouring into the real estate sector, and housing prices continue to heat up. Once the bubble bursts, God knows how many people will jump off the building.

Ordinary people and ordinary families have no ability to resist the impact of capital tycoons.

In later generations, Chen Ying had no choice. He was also the object of sheeping. In this time and space, Chen Ying would never want to see ordinary hardworking and kind people being ruthlessly swallowed by capital tycoons.

However, the world is so cruel. Things are chosen by nature, the strong are respected, the weak are preyed upon, and the fittest survives. Even if Chen Ying is now able to fight against a family of aristocratic families, he absolutely has no ability to deal with all the aristocratic families and families in the world.

Faced with the likes of the aristocratic clans, it is better to be dispersed than to block the enemy. This is exactly what Chen Ying intended to open the Western Regions.

Chen Ying did the opposite and took advantage of the habit of picking up bargains among Chinese people, but which one would buy 100,000 acres of wasteland, with a salt mine, a small oil field, and an agate mountain?

Yang Rong is Chen Yingma Gu. Even if Yang Rong doesn’t promote it, he will promote the purchase of Yang Rong’s 100,000 acres of land.

Once Yang Rong's deeds spread widely, it will attract the influx of aristocratic families and the Tang Dynasty's private capital into the Western Regions. With the entry of a large amount of private capital and aristocratic families, the economy in the Western Regions will be more prosperous.

Of course, this also invisibly alleviates the fatal impact of the aristocratic clans on the Tang Dynasty, the newborn dynasty.

Once the aristocratic families get the benefits of developing the Western Regions, they will gradually become addicted and enjoy this development-based process and huge benefits.

The rise of a nation is the rise of the corpses of one or countless nations. The successful rise of Japan's Yamato nation first had the power of the great victory of the Russo-Japanese War, and then the huge war dividends of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The rise of Japan is essentially the rise of 35 million innocent souls.

The rise of the Turks was to step on the corpse of the Rouran people. The Turks first pulled the Rouran people off the throne of the overlord of the grassland, then swallowed and eroded them, and stomped over a land that spanned thousands of miles, across the desert, and stepped on the Rouran Khanate, which had been a historical term.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to rise, it must adopt this method and this development process.

Chen Ying knew very well which ethnic group he belonged to, and he did not kneel down like those Chinese foreign dogs in later generations.

Of course, Chen Ying is not a "Holy Mother Bitch" to do this. Chen Ying can actually get some benefits. The first is to ease the conflict with the aristocratic clans. After all, the aristocratic clans are also a huge interest group. They only see interests, because interests can allow Chen Ying to unite with them.

In the short term, Chen Ying can get many allies in the Tang Dynasty, and he will no longer fight alone. The second is to ease the land annexation of the Tang Dynasty.

The expansion is not only in the Western Regions, but also to the south and east. Especially in the south, the rice in Chameng in Linlu Kingdom is not only ripe for two a year, but also has high yields. Chameng also has too many fertile fields. Even if the freight costs of sea transportation are deducted, the output costs are far lower than the yield of one stone and five dou of fertile fields in the Tang Dynasty.

Secondly, Chen Ying wanted to create a development model that adapts to the expansion era of the Tang Dynasty. This model is to build a primitive industrial society through resource mining, collective farms, large-scale animal husbandry, collective textiles.

When Li Xiuning heard Chen Ying's intention and layout, she took a breath of cold air: "Chen Lang is so embarrassed for you!"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I just did my best!"

...

On the Mingshui River, there is a small boat. Wei Zheng dressed as a Taoist priest in the air. Wei Zheng sat alone on the small boat, closing his eyes to fish.

After a while, a raft slowly approached the small boat.

Wei Zheng looked up and saw the person clearly, and said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that the secret son who was placed in Hebei was Ling Jijiu!"

The person who came was not someone else, but was the former priest Ling Jing under Dou Jiande.

Ling Jing walked into the cabin, looked at the vinegar celery on the table, picked up a piece of it, ate a bite of the dish, looked at Wei Zheng and said, "What do Mr. Xuancheng want to listen to?"

Wei Zheng said with a serious expression: "Who is behind the scenes of the Hebei Rebellion?"

Ling Jing laughed in silence and said, "Of course it is Liu Shuai, it is known to everyone, not a secret!

Wei Zheng sneered, and also picked up a bite of the dish on his own, paused, looked at Ling Jing and said, "What afterwards? Why did those Hebei clans suddenly rebel?"

Ling Jing said disdainfully: "It's not the one who forced Li Yuan and his son to rebel? You Li Tang want to completely eliminate the Hebei clans.

Wei Zheng shook his head, put down his chopsticks, and sighed, "Your Majesty did not issue an order to confiscate the land of the Hebei clans, nor did he issue an order to eliminate the Hebei clans."

Ling Jing put down his chopsticks in confusion and looked at Wei Zheng and said, "What do you say about those secret decrees?"

Wei Zheng narrowed his eyes and said in confusion: "What secret order?"
