“That’s why it’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!

At any time, providing people with job opportunities and a place to earn money is far more important than giving them direct money.

If we build a new vegetable market, more people can buy and sell vegetables in a clean place.

If we build a new factory, more people can work in it.

The more land we cultivate, the more farmers will have land to farm and enough food will be produced to feed us.

This is what the country should do!

Rather than handing out money to the people to please the public!

Do you know why some people are rich and some are poor?" Li Xiao stood on the ship island, tasting red wine and looking at the vast sea.

You can see in the distance that there is a clear dividing line in the sea. The Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea meet here, and the sea water is clearly separated here.

"Why?" Li Xiu was obviously not very interested in this question, but because his elder brother smelled it, he had to cooperate.

"That's because rich people know how to make money. But poor people who have no money don't know how to make money.

Many years ago, I met refugees in Shandong who were fleeing the floods in Henan.

I met a landowner by chance and he said to his children.

As long as you get to Jining Mansion and settle down, your family will still be well-to-do in less than ten years.

Because he knew how to change from a tenant to a landlord.

And most tenants don't know how to change from a tenant to a landlord.

All they can think about is how to eat the leftover food each year so that they won't go hungry in the coming spring.

By the same token, this is the difference between the rich and the poor in the city.

Therefore, whether in Europe or in our Ming Dynasty, there can only be a few rich people, if there are many rich people.

You also have money, and I also have money.

What are the consequences of that?

The consequence is that the price of the things you want to buy has increased.

After the price of things increases, the rich can still survive. But the poor, hehe! They can't survive at all!"

Li Xiao looked at Li Xiu with a smile!

Li Xiu didn’t know how to answer the call!

He has been living on the sea since his boyhood. His feet have been on the deck for longer than on land.

In addition to being soldiers, the people around me are also soldiers.

He actually has no interest in making money because he has never been short of money since he was a child and has nothing to buy.

I have been wearing military uniforms since I was a teenager, and I still wear military uniforms all day long.

In addition to eating at home, I also eat in the military canteen.

Even though he now has a family and manages a huge fleet, he still has to frequently patrol the places where his men are stationed.

Anyway, Mrs. Zheng is in charge of the house. When I get home, besides sleeping, I also play with Yaya’s son who is learning the language.

He is a more pure soldier than Li Xiao. It can be said that the warship is his home.

He loves the navy and has a fanatical desire to conquer the sea.

Whenever he is on a warship riding the wind and waves, he feels most at ease.

For him, aircraft carriers are even more important than women.

When he heard that the aircraft carrier was successfully built and was about to be put on trial, he immediately took an airship and rushed back from distant Egypt.

Finally, during the aircraft carrier's trial run, I hurriedly boarded the Liaodong.

His airship stopped directly on the Liaodong.

"Actually, this should be said to the fourth child, to you! Play the piano to the cow.

In short, train your fleet well and control the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal area, and the Red Sea line.

This is the trade line of the Ming Dynasty, and there must be no problems.

I believe future trade issues will be resolved soon.

When European countries are in chaos, they will only choose one thing."

"What's going on?" Li Xiu immediately became interested when talking about things in Europe.

"war!

Only through war can domestic conflicts be transferred abroad.

Only in this way can their rule be maintained.

Frederick was such a person, and Napoleon was even more such a person.

And if they want to start a war, against whom?

It must be us who control the vast majority of resources!

They will compete with us for the Balkans, and they will compete with us for Constantinople, Egypt, and the Middle East!

They also know the importance of resources. Whoever controls the resources controls the world.

The Middle East is the largest source of oil and gas, so of course they will find a way to get it. They may even... put aside their grievances to join forces."

"Brother, do you mean that they will form an alliance to fight against the Ming Dynasty?

Then...then why do we still sell them so many warships?"

Li Xiu felt a little speechless. Now the Ming Navy sells everything.

Old warships were refurbished and sold, and new warships were also sold.

The shipyards from Lushun, to Huangdao, and then to Huangpu are rushing to work almost day and night.

The shipyards in Java and Singapore have even begun to expand their factory areas.

Li Xiu felt a little weird about this behavior that was obviously "capitalizing the enemy".

This...is this still the wise and wise elder brother?

Why did the elder brother become so faint?

"I feel like I've become crazy and don't care about anything for money.

Haha! You saw the aircraft carrier today, do you still think I'm crazy?

Under the control of aircraft carriers, these warships are nothing more than scum and targets for bombing.

Don’t you think that we only have one or two anti-aircraft gun emplacements on warships sold abroad?

For traditional airships, one or two anti-aircraft gun emplacements are enough.

But do you think it’s enough to deal with an aircraft as fast and sharp as a falcon?

When airborne torpedoes are successfully developed and have huge underwater warheads, one or two torpedoes can destroy an enemy ship.

The combat radius of an aircraft carrier is 150 kilometers or even further.

Do you think they still have a chance to win?

Let alone airships, airships are also targets in front of airplanes.

This has already been tried in Grozny.

Of the five Hebrew airships, no one was left alive. I guess they didn't even know what was attacking them.

Now the more naval ships we sell to them, the more their national power will be depleted.

When they lose, the greater the blow to their self-confidence.

This war will leave them with the fear that the Ming Dynasty will be invincible.

This battle will also lead to at least eighty years of peace.

Eighty years later, you and I have passed away. Our descendants will be worse than others, and there is nothing we can do about it.

If we save more money for them now, they will be able to lose a few more years when they lose their money."

"Brother, don't say that. Li Lin is a good boy. He...!"

"Haha! When the time comes, we still can't tell who will be in charge.

Zhu Hongwu also did not expect that his son would usurp his grandson's throne."

Before Li Xiao finished speaking, he saw Li Xiu's face becoming very ugly.

Although Li Xiu has little education, he still knows the allusion of Yongle Jingnan.

When an uncle seizes the throne from his nephew, everyone would associate it with themselves.

"Uh...! Don't think too much, I'm just making an analogy." Li Xiao said lightly.
