Chapter 169 (No longer demanding)
When the Tubo people suddenly appeared, even if they didn't have to risk their lives to rob, they just needed to raise dogs in a tent, drink milk tea, and live a rich life with such a relaxed and freehand style, who would still fight to the death at that time?
What's more, life is only once, no matter how high or low the status is, and it is impossible to possess it again if it is lost. What's more, once greed and laziness grow on them, the people who grow barley will gradually disappear, and cattle and sheep will gradually decrease, and eventually become Tibetan mastiff breeding bases.
At that time, what can even happen if the top leaders of Tubo react?
Li Gang was very clear that only a few people could understand these things. Because of interests, some of the vested interests even chose to remain silent in order to protect their own interests.
People can make it through, but not know it!
This sentence is not only for the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, Tubo also used this method to manage the people.
People will only think that being able to eat enough is a good thing, because they do not have a lofty goal and do not have the knowledge to distinguish sinister, so what they can always see is what they can see in front of them.
Therefore, Li Gang felt that Zhang Yi's method was very feasible. Whether it was the grasp of people's hearts or human nature, it had reached an extremely high level.
But because of this, his face was filled with worry.
A young and handsome talent, but so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, is not a good thing in his opinion.
Such a person either becomes a hero of a generation or becomes a powerful minister. However, no matter what he becomes, people who use people's hearts to achieve their goals seem very dangerous in his opinion.
"It's the heart of the people! Maybe it's just a conspiracy in the early stage, but it becomes an open conspiracy in the later stage!" Li Gang looked at Zhang Yi deeply and said heavily: "Zhang Yi, at first, when I first learned your name, it was because of the method of filtering salt in the sea water in Lingnan. At that time, I was still happy because my Tang Dynasty finally no longer suffered from the lack of salt, and my Tang Dynasty also had a young talent who could do practical things!"
"The second time I heard your name was because of your method of plowing oxen copper rings. This method alone can be said to have solved half of the hardships of the people. The time for plowing one acre of land was turned into being able to plow three acres! Do you know? How happy I was at that time? Because I saw that the land of my Tang Dynasty was no longer deserted, because we could use livestock more effectively to replace human labor."
"The third time I heard your name was in Taimiao. It was when you were personally named the Prince of Jingyang County by Your Majesty. As soon as the pesticides came out, the locusts were annihilated, and my great achievements were even thought that I could not be inferior to Confucius and Mencius! After all, 'If the granaries are full, you know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace.' Your Majesty's words, there is no worries about locusts in the world, and it all revealed the importance of pesticides to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know? I was even excited at that time, because the demon who blocked us was conquered by another demon!"
"I am alone, preparing a table of wine and food in the yard to congratulate me, your Majesty, and you! Because I have seen the hope of prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Without natural disasters and without **, our great Tang Dynasty will surely flourish!"
Speaking of this, Li Gang's whole face was filled with an indescribable excitement, and even his whole body became trembling and trembling due to excitement.
Li Er was even more so, because Li Gang's words were also what he thought. He immediately said, "Yes, it is precisely because of this that I tolerate you in every way. Do you think anyone can violate my will? Letting you enter the palace and study as a prince's companion is simply my great favor to outsiders, but you have been reluctant to refuse it for various reasons!"
Speaking of this, Li Er was so angry at Zhang Yi.
In his opinion, as an emperor, he has achieved the ultimate that almost an emperor can tolerate!
But Zhang Yi was stunned as if he didn't care about anything, which made him want to slap him to death. However, such a person who was too lazy and crazy about money actually had so many strange ideas in his mind, and these ideas were very useful.
This undoubtedly made Li Er develop a love for talent!
Zhang Yi felt a little embarrassed. After several contacts, he also got some understanding of Li Er. Although in everyone's eyes, Li Er is actually a stingy, generous and very domineering emperor, he doesn't think so.
Because combined with Li Er's current situation, Li Er's stinginess is because the Tang Dynasty is short of money at the moment, and it is aimed at the meritorious ministers. It is also to support emerging aristocrats to restrain old families, while domineering is due to Li Er's nature.
If all external factors are abandoned, Li Er is brave and resourceful in Zhang Yi's mind, and he is a good emperor, both to the people and to the nobles, but he has a faint instinctive resistance in his heart, which makes him unwilling to get along with him in depth.
Or I dare not get along with it!
This is an important reason why Zhang Yi has always been away from the circle of nobles in Chang'an!
"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know your favor to the boy, but that you are a person with no ambitions!" Zhang Yi felt that he should take this opportunity to express his attitude again. Instead of being coerced by Li Er to make progress, it would be better to tell him what he thoughts directly. After all, a dead fish has no effect on Li Er at all.
As for the title or other things, whether it is Li Er's guilt towards Zhang Cang or the rewards made by Zhang Yi for various achievements, it is actually not important.
The important thing is that as long as he can prevent him from stepping into Li Chengqian's circle where he will be beheaded in the future, he will burn incense and worship Buddha.
"Hmph! No big ambition!" Li Er glanced at Zhang Yi angrily, and then said angrily: "No big ambition is the reason why you sleep in every day? If you are just an ordinary playboy, I will not force you to enter the palace and study. As Master Li said, so many things you have done actually show that you are a talent that can be made, and it is precisely this way that I will tolerate it again and again! And after hearing what you just now, I feel that my approach is not only correct, but even very wise! Although a dog cannot destroy a country, it can make a country from being strong to being weak!
You have also seen another use of money. It is not just money, it can also be used as a weapon! Zhang Yi, now tell me, what is the ultimate goal of your plan? What other questions will be involved in it? If you answer correctly and answer well, I promise that I will never force you to do it in the future!”
"Yes, look at the whole picture of the Tao. Although you don't understand the meaning of the classics, you can also take a different approach!" Li Gang sighed and pondered: "I am too square, and Confucianism is probably not acceptable to your personality. If you don't want me, I will not force it anymore!"
