"Haha, Your Majesty, can you ask for a lower level?" Song Jiule was very famous and famous. There are many famous people who have reached the height of these three people?

Zhao Kuangyi may be a joke, showing closeness.

But joking is not a joke. I came up all at once and had to take out some things.

What can you do? Talking about Wenzhi, not talking about yourself, it’s Zhao Pu. Talking about Wenzhi in front of Zhao Kuangyi can only show off your skills.

Or your Majesty, you are a lame chicken, with a hundred points in cultural governance and only tens of martial arts. You may not even be as good as a minister. Can you say it?

After thinking for a while, he said, "If Your Majesty wants me to say a few words, I will say a few words."

"Speak and listen."

"The first is the way of governance, be pragmatic and practical."

Zhao Kuangyi looked a little ugly and said, "What is pragmatic and practical?"

"I will give you an example first, and talk about my sea ships."

Zhao Kuangyi knew that Fu Zhaoshou had said it, but he did not interfere. Song Jiu handled it well in this matter. He vaguely guessed what Song Jiu wanted to say, and then his face calmed down and said, "Okay."

"Your Majesty wants to hear, let's go to the Secretariat."

The Secretariat is located in the imperial city, not far from the south of Da Nei.

They came to the Secretariat.

After arriving at the Secretariat, Zhao Kuangyi sat down. In addition to a few big bosses and a group of clerks and yamen, there were other officials, such as Secretariat, Right Advisor, and Living Housekeeper, etc., which were not permanent.

When they saw Song Jiu bringing the emperor to the Secretariat, they were all curious.

Song Jiu said: "Your Majesty, I built those sea ships at first because of huge research and development costs, and my income was not as good as I did. I also wanted to avoid the disputes in the capital."

Zhao Kuangyi's great youth was spent on Hezhou. However, the money he earned in Hezhou was used for research and development, and finally even Hezhou was handed over to the court. This was done very openly.

"It also has some far-reaching significance. It broadens the horizons of the Chinese people, and will not blindly be arrogant and self-confidence. Prosper the country's economy and solve some of the money shortage. During the Tang Dynasty, people were not allowed to go abroad to go overseas. All transactions were made by merchants from the Western Regions or Dashi South China Sea. Therefore, the gold and silver produced by the country were mostly circulated abroad. Now the transactions were completed by the Chinese people, which was the spices from the South China Sea. No matter what it earned to privately and publicly, if it was imported from Dashi, gold and silver flowed to Dashi. Now that the Chinese people were allowed to complete it, it was still in China. Although the country set up a mint supervision, the money shortage could not be resolved. Gold and silver are also a quasi-currency."

This is also understandable, which means that money is flowing domestically, not abroad.

"The way of internal governance starts from the first emperor and then to Your Majesty is unmatched. The first lord of the Three Kingdoms said that people are the first, and Emperor Taizong of Tang said that water can carry boats and can also overturn boats. The last emperor said that Qi people were, but neither the Three Kingdoms nor the Tang Dynasty solved the family problems. It can only be said that it was a slogan. Although the former emperor said that Qi people were the slogan. However, some practical measures began to be taken, which was what the empress said. Therefore, the population would inevitably increase sharply in the future. With the islands of the South China Sea, the area was almost three times that of our country, and the area behind it was more than twice as long as it could be occupied, so that it could feed more than 50 million households, and no longer had to worry about population increase."

"Fifty million households," Xue Juzheng said in surprise.

"If my dynasty can survive forever, it won't be too much. It will reach it in two or three hundred years. Mr. Xue, don't you think my dynasty can't exist for two or three hundred years?"

"How can it reach 50 million households in two or three hundred years?" Xue Ju was so evil.

"Okay, I'll say that the backward Tang Dynasty, at least the Qi people are not as good as ours. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were only two million households. How many households were in Tianbao? How many years did it take from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to Tianbao? Don't forget that the talents that appear in Hezhou Academy every year will bring more steel. With steel, there will be enough weapons. In the future, more advanced weapons will appear. The national strength will become stronger and stronger, and there will be no suffering of aristocratic annexation. The growth rate of the people will be far better than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the founding of the country will be longer. How far will the population increase sharply in two or three hundred years?"

"Song Qing, you can tell me," Zhao Kuangyi interrupted Song Jiu's words. Don't take it seriously for this 50 million household.

"So I have set up some supply points in the South China Sea as a test. However, going to sea will be in danger. Besides, when the late emperor was banned from picking sea pearls. However, when the people wanted to live, the nobles in the capital also needed to buy sea pearls as decorations. Therefore, the ban could not be banned. Instead, the people went into the sea secretly and had many risks. Officials took the opportunity to be harsh, and merchants made huge profits. This ban did not benefit the people, but harmed the people. Why not issue a ban, prohibiting the government from participating and listening to the people's self-picking?"

Zhao Kuangyi pondered.

"Some people in the court will think of it, including ministers, but they dare not say why, human life is at stake! Human life is at stake, and it is a good thing to pay attention to the safety of people's lives, because they cannot be realistic, and no one dares to further interpret it. Just like taxes, how many soldiers died in Beijing in a year? I dare not say why, because of human life, the country does not pay taxes? Therefore, human life is at slogan and a magic weapon to attack political enemies without extending its true meaning."

"After an accident in my two seas, I am afraid that others will use this attack, so I sent a boatman to capture several kings of the South China Sea tribes to Beijing to pay tribute. In fact, in addition to the strategic needs of Goryeo, what is the significance of the kings of the countries such as Dashi or the South China Sea to pay tribute? What is the significance of the country? The more envoys come to pay tribute, the more the country gives. These gifts cost money and silk. Where did the money come from? It was not confiscated from the people. The good or bad life of the people is the foundation of the country. Why should we give it to the bottom of the country?"

"For example, the words of the wise and the wise men are good, and it is enough to quote them occasionally. In fact, including the Master, they have not discussed a real path to govern the country in their lives, but have left many ideas for future generations. Ministers talk about things, talk about water conservancy, talk about people's livelihood, and talk about people's livelihood. Why bother quoting the words of the sages? Your Majesty, take a look." Song Jiu casually took out a few memorials, and at least one-third of them were talking about the great truth.

"Or as I did in Jiangzhou, it is the distribution of interests. To give Jiangbei merchants a vitality, bring prosperity to Jiangzhou, give justice to the people of the former Jiangzhou, and alleviate their resentment. Even the people of Jiangnan will no longer be so hated to the court. But how many people dare to say that I am the distribution of interests?"

"The distribution of interests is nothing more than the state and individuals. Individuals are divided into nobles and commoners, and nobles are elites. If there is little distribution, they will not be at ease with the limbs of the country. If there is little distribution, the country will be in chaos. If there is little distribution, the country will be in chaos. If there is little distribution, all kinds of internal affairs and military affairs cannot be implemented. However, because gentlemen are ashamed of making profits, the memorials of ministers are often confused. If there is no black or white, they cannot explain clearly, and instead become tools for their own selfishness."

"Besides speaking and admonishment, our dynasty is politically relaxed and he also widely spoken for his ministers. Why are he talking to him far away from the early Tang Dynasty? If he doesn't speak without saying anything, and if he doesn't speak for what he says, this is admonishment."

"What is not to say what you say, not to say what you can't say?"

"Advising ministers should make mistakes in the country's affairs. Dare to speak out for the faults of the monarch and his ministers. This is the position of a counselor. However, in the past ten years since its founding, no counselor has been able to do this. For example, Wang Jixun cannibals in Luoyang, who has impeached him so far?"

"Wang Jixun." It seems that Song Jiu and Wang Jixun are competing. Zhao Kuangyi smiled bitterly and said, "After I return to the palace, I will set up a sect envoy to investigate him."

"Also, the counselor cannot speak according to what he likes and dislikes. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Even if it is your relatives and friends, you should advise. Even if it is your enemy, you cannot turn the black and white into attack him. This is what the minister said to seek truth."

"Therefore, I said that I should be pragmatic and realistic."

Zhao Kuangyi was speechless and heard that this was the veil. Song Jiu wanted to pull it away naked.

"Then it is to use people. Emperor Taizong of Tang said that a man should set up officials and divide his duties, so he can interpret and transform the Xuanfeng. Therefore, the wise craftsman's responsibilities are like a skilled craftsman's wood. The straight ones think it is a shaft, and the curved ones think it is a wheel; the elders think it is a pillar, and the short ones think it is a horn. There is no curvature, straightness, length and shortness, and each has its own advantages. The wise craftsman's responsibilities are also due to this. The wise ones take their plans, the foolish ones take their strength; the brave ones take their power; the timid ones take their power; the timid ones take their cautiousness; the wise ones take their vigilance; the wise ones should not abandon their talents; the wise craftsman's wise rulers should not abandon their talents. Do not forget their goodness for one evil; do not cover up their achievements with small flaws. Severe the government and divide the matter and do their own things. However, the cauldron of a cauldron cannot be cooked chickens; the raccoon catching rats cannot be used to fight beasts; a kettle of a jin cannot be used to flow the rivers and Han dynasties; a cart of a hundred stones cannot be filled with grains. Why not be large or small in size, and light or heavy in light or heavy."

"The country is not without talents, but cannot put talents in a suitable position. For example, Feng Zan is a first-class official. Your Majesty recalled Doctor Feng, and could be the minister of the Central Secretariat, serve as a servant, serve as a minister of the government, serve as a transferee, and serve as a prefect of a major prefecture. However, what position does Your Majesty recalled Feng Zan? Isn't it a big talent to be a useless person?"

Zhao Kuangyi said: "My mistake is my fault."

"The third thing I said is the national trend. The last emperor said that Jin and Yan had not given up, so why did they express their merits? The north is the foundation of the country. If Jin and Yan do not take down, the door will be wide open, and the country cannot survive forever. The Northern Han national strength declines, and it is not difficult to win. The difficulty is Yan Yun, Your Majesty should not underestimate the Khitan. The Khitan national strength is strong, the soldiers are even more fierce, and the new Khitan ministers are wise and wise, and it is not easy to attack them. The three strategies of the top, middle and lower are strong. The result of this strategy is a fierce battle, and the bad is a great defeat. The middle and the middle are protracted to debate, and the national strength is consumed to make it decline."

“What about the best strategy?”

"The best strategy is that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements..."

"Speak and listen."

"It is to break from the inside that the Khitan is powerful, but there are many races. The real Khitan and Xi people account for less than one-third. There were rebellions in the northeast and the west. Specially, I heard about one thing: After the Khitan destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, it moved the strong clan to the Shangjing area of ​​Zhongjing. Some Bohai people stayed in their hometowns. The Khitan established Huanglong Mansion and stationed people in Bohai. The Bohai people were surrendered to the Bohai Sea. The Bohai people rebelled in Huanglong Mansion. The Liao Kingdom sent Yelu Heli to fight. Yan Po was defeated and retreated to Zhihe. He was afraid of Yan.

Po, instead of pursuing, he sent his younger brother Yelu Anpu to Qinghe. Yan Po was small, but most of them were retained, taking more than a thousand soldiers to Baowura City. To the east were Wu Xuanming, the leader of Wu Xuanming, the leader of the Bohai people of Anbianfu, and Wu Zhaodu, the leader of the Northeast Anbianfu, with strong strength. Anpu had to retreat, and the Huanglong Mansion made Yan Po burn, and Anpu could only set up Tongzhou City (Siping) on ​​the south side of Huanglong Mansion. Last year, Wu Xuanming, with the support of Yan Po, established Wushe Kingdom in Wuhuo City. He sent envoys to ask for a letter from the late emperor."

Song Jiu got the news from the three Khitan merchants, and Zhao Kuangyi didn't know much about the truth.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "So that's how it is."

"The power of this Wushe country cannot be underestimated. However, the local people live backward and have a sparse population, and they lack weapons and armor. Therefore, they cannot expand and will be destroyed by the Khitan sooner or later."

"Your meaning..."

"The people from Bohai, including the southern Liaoning Bohai people are not very loyal to the Khitan, so they do not have strong control over the Yalu River. Wushe Kingdom sent envoys to come from the Yalu River. The court can make a slight change from the weapons and armor they will eliminate, so that they will be slightly different from the armor and weapons of our dynasty. If this strategy is right, the cost of 50,000 sets of armor and arrows will be only about two million yuan, but it will be worth 100,000 elite soldiers and generals. Once the northeast is in a civil turmoil, the Khitan will have to distribute half of the elite soldiers to suppress it. At the same time, soldiers will be sent to station in the northwest to prevent the enemy from rebelling fiercely, and to station troops in the west to prevent the Bu people from rebelling. At that time, our dynasty can send troops to Yanyun calmly."

"this……"

"Your Majesty, this is the best strategy. Otherwise, if the Khitans breathe, they will use this strategy to deal with our court."

“Besides.”

"Northwest, the Tuoba Li family has a strong appeal in the northwest. Once the Khitans are bewitched and the clans are rebelling, our dynasty will be trapped in the northwest, and Yanyun will become an eternal dream. Moreover, if the northwest is lost, our court lacks war horses. During the late emperor, our dynasty soldiers fought with the Khitan many times. Although they won, I can take a closer look. If there is no powerful iron cavalry in hand, those battles will not be able to win at all."

"It's a good idea," said Xue Juzheng.

Compared with the Khitan, the Central Plains war cost huge. The Battle of Chanyuan only lasted a few months, and the cost reached 70 million yuan. The fourth year of the northwest of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty had a cost of 200 million yuan. The cost of the battle against the Southern Han in the early Northern Song Dynasty was the lowest. I don’t know how much it cost to destroy the Bashu battle and the battle to pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, in the battle to attack Taiyuan, Song Jiu was in the Sansi, and knew the cost of more than 10 million yuan.

Of course, the battles of Bashu, Jinghu and Southern Tang were generally profitable. Getting a lot of money from their treasury not only made up for the expenses, but also a large amount of surplus.

However, when fighting against the Khitan, don't expect anything.

And the fatal thing is that there is no hope, the soldiers cannot get it, and they are not very motivated.
