Two hundred and fifty-two unworldly achievements
This is simply a temptation that they cannot refuse, and this is a temptation that they cannot refuse no matter what.
Whether it is His Majesty Li Er, those officials who oppose it, or those officials who do not oppose it but do not agree, this is like when Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall. People all believe that this is one of the reasons for the early demise of the Qin Dynasty. But how could a talented and stubborn person like Qin Shihuang spend such huge amount of people to do something that he thinks is useless?
In fact, before the construction of the Great Wall, the Qin court held a discussion meeting on the methods and strategies of dealing with the Huns, convened a large number of relevant personnel and experts to participate in the discussion, and calculated the economic account. The final conclusion was that relying on the Great Wall to defend against the attacks of the Huns and other ethnic minorities was compared to simply fighting and mobilizing the army to fight north to fight the enemy, which required a lot of money and food to save Qin Shihuang.
The reason why the Qin Dynasty perished was that it used the people's strength to be unkind and the people could not survive, so it rose up. If the Qin Dynasty's strategy to fight against the Huns was not wrong, it was wrong to govern the country with Legalism. Legalism could strengthen the country in a short period of time, but could not govern the country for a long time, because a country could not always maintain a wartime state.
Now Suning has also calculated an economic account in the Tang Dynasty. The result of this bill shows that the amount of food paid for 150,000 people was much more than what he paid. Then, Suning explained the negative impact of the labor force that the Tang Dynasty exploited Turkic prisoners, that is, the resentment of the Turkic prisoners towards the Tang Dynasty, which is not important. Hate means hatred. The Tang Dynasty is not afraid of you hatred. As long as you can control it, hatred is not a problem, but if one is not good, it will be difficult to break free from the supervision of the army and then gather to rebel.
The Spartacus uprising in the Tang Dynasty... does not rebel!
Therefore, Suning has made a series of regulations on the management and work issues of Turkic prisoners, such as working hours should not exceed nine hours at most, and at least they can give them more than six hours to sleep, otherwise they will not be able to get up at all. Sooner or later, they will be exhausted or rebelled. We must adhere to the strategy of sustainable development, squeeze their labor force for a long time, and completely drain them, and do not allow them to die or escape for no reason.
There is also the food problem. Three meals a day cannot be missing. As for the quantity problem, it is that it can barely survive. It will not starve to death, but there is no extra effort to resist. This requires a good degree. At least it must be allowed to live longer. The longer they live, the more benefits the people of the Tang Dynasty will get.
What remains is the reward and punishment mechanism, which is very important, which is conducive to completely dismantling their cohesion from within, resulting in them not believing in themselves and they cannot unite against the Tang Dynasty. Instead, they will rely on the Tang Dynasty and trust the Tang Dynasty! When they said this, Tang Jian finally reacted and raised questions: "How can this be done? The Tang Dynasty drove them to work without rest. It is impossible for them to not resent the Tang Dynasty in their hearts. How can they still trust the Tang Dynasty and rely on the Tang Dynasty?"
Suning smiled and said, "This is easy, not difficult, it requires a punishment and reward mechanism. The so-called relaxation and perseverance, and everything must be at a certain level. Before, we used the labor of Turkic prisoners excessively, so that 14,000 prisoners died in just one year. This is not good for the Tang Dynasty. Although I was very unhappy to give them food to the people of the Tang Dynasty, if I want the horse to run fast, I must let the horse eat well, so that the horse will run willingly and will not feel disgusted to the owner.
Of course, giving them better food does not improve some things. At that time, other means are needed, such as rewards and punishments, which is to work hard and keep the quality and quantity of things done. Prisoners can get rewards, such as resting for a day, taking a bath, sleeping for a day and a night, and eating and drinking at will on this day. Of course, what they eat and drink is the amount they originally had, which means that the better they make, the more they are, and the worse they are not able to eat, and even they can only eat a little bit of food. In this way, they can inspire the prisoners to work hard and give them a hope.
Also, if you do well and do well for many days, you can get special rewards, that is, if you serve as the team leader of a small team, with about ten to twenty people, and lead him. He can instruct the team to complete their own labor, and then transfer the team leader's labor to this team. In other words, the team leader not only eats good food, but also doesn't have to work!
Of course, the team leader is the limit and cannot give them the opportunity to lead more people. These team leader are also people who have worked hard for a long time. What will they do if they get good living conditions? This is what the saying goes, villains will succeed. No matter how powerful a warrior works in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, they will lose their ambitions and just want to live a comfortable life. We gave them this opportunity. These team leader will definitely act as a mighty person and enslave their teams to do things for him. If he does nothing, he can enjoy the food of twenty people.
Over time, the Turks in the team will not put their anger on the Tang Dynasty, but will transfer their anger to these small team leaders who also belong to the Turks. At that time, they will be scapegoats of the Tang Dynasty. These Turkic prisoners will only hate these small team leaders, but will not hate the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the Tang Dynasty can also appear as a prestige or two, pay attention to it, at most one or two typical examples, which can not only demonstrate the prestige and fairness of the Tang Dynasty, but also let these Turks feel the fairness and beauty of the Tang Dynasty and the cruelty and indesirability of these small team leaders. Compared with the two, who is better and who is worse can be reflected.
Only at this time these Turkic prisoners will have a sense of trust and even be grateful to the Tang Dynasty. As for the team leader, we must always exist. We can kill one or two of them every once in a while to maintain the image of the Tang Dynasty. Usually, as long as we manage these prisoners on the periphery, we cannot let them escape, and give them hope and hope to be the team leader. Although ordinary prisoners will hate the team leader, they will also want to be the team leader, and they will also be like being the team leader, and we will give them this opportunity!
During the first period of time when we dealt with one or two team leaders, these people will definitely lead the team honestly, but once our supervisors leave, the Tang Dynasty's management army should not participate in the internal conflicts, let them fight in the nest, let them distrust each other, they hate each other, the more chaotic they are, the less trust each other, we can get the best state, so we fight against the snipe and clam, and the fisherman gains the profit, and our Tang Dynasty must be the fisherman! In this way, they will be divided into several teams. Naturally, the appointment of the team leader should be very slow, so that they can know that only by doing more, the better they can serve as the team leader, and for themselves, they will spare no effort to do things for the Tang Dynasty!
Give them food, drink, and rest. If these three points are done, it will be enough. If the rest is left, let them suspect and hate each other within, and they will never be able to gather together to fight against the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty will not worry that these Turks will unite to resist the Tang Dynasty, which will cause another war. Take a two-pronged approach, and use kindness from the outside and dismantle them from the inside. This period is the best time to start. We will suppress them miserably before, and at this time, suddenly relax, the anger they have accumulated will be released, and they will not want to resist!
This is like the strategy of joining the alliance between Su Qin and Zhang Yi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Zhang Yi dealt with the six Shandong countries led by Su Qin. That is to use the strategy of getting along with the near and attacking the six countries, and to select the internal contradictions between the six countries that are not harmonious. With the powerful strength of Qin, the alliance between the six countries was destroyed by the strategy of getting along with the near and attacking the near and attacking the six countries. After Su Qin died, the alliance between the six countries completely collapsed. Thinking about how shocking Su Qin was with the six countries, it was only one person in China for the past years, and only he could have the ability to unite the six countries to fight against Qin. At that time, the national strength of Qin was no longer something that could be fought against by a single country.
Su Qin wanted to save the six countries against Qin, but the late master once told me that a solid city is often broken from the inside. No matter how strong it looks, there will be traces inside. The unity of the six countries is so grand. Unfortunately, the internal contradictions are also full of contradictions. Before defeating Qin, he began to think about how to divide Qin. This gave Qin a chance to breathe, disintegrate the alliance of the six countries and break it up. Su Qin's efforts were gone, and Zhang Yi won the victory. This is the starting point for me to conceive this strategy."
Suning spoke a long story for a few quarters of an hour before he could express all his thoughts. However, almost all the people in the hall did not come back to their senses, and were savoring Suning's plan carefully. After a while, someone gradually came back to his senses and cast a look of extreme appreciation or extreme fear at Suning. His Majesty Li Er looked at Suning eagerly, and then turned his gaze to a corner of the hall, making up a certain decision.
Tang Jian quickly came to his senses, then he sighed: "This strategy is of value to use no matter where it is placed. Just change some methods. Zhang Yizhi's so-called strategy of getting along far and near can be used here. Su Hou, is the successor of the pre-Qin renminbi family? He has learned a whole body of renminbi's art?"
Suning shook his head: "Since Emperor Wu of Han dismissed all schools of thought, all schools of thought have gradually declined and almost all have disappeared from history. What can be passed down? Is the family master not clear? Is it true that the family master is a descendant of the family? But everyone can understand these principles, but they are just concerned about using them, and there are many ways to use them. The family master has warned me more than once not to use them randomly, otherwise it will harm the world."
Tang Jian nodded: "I have studied the techniques of erect and horizontal. The most prominent feature is to achieve the goal by any means. However, in the troubled times, it can be imagined that it is the current unification. Our Tang Dynasty also has external enemies, with a large number of them, which is similar to what Su Hou said. There are no shortages of jackals, tigers and leopards. The external strategies of the Tang Dynasty should also rely on erect and horizontal techniques. After all, if it is not my race, their hearts must be different. We are all dealing with foreign races, not our own race.
Your Majesty, I think the great charity that Sanyuanhou said should be used, and the Turkish prisoners of war can be used to work for the Tang Dynasty to the greatest extent, and even the corvee service of the people of the Tang Dynasty will be abolished in the end. Then, our Tang Dynasty will achieve success for generations, and the people of the world will be grateful to the Tang Dynasty and will not rebel again!"
As soon as Tang Jian finished speaking, Li Jing stood up and agreed: "Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"
The Minister of Works, Wu Shi, also said: "Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"
Hou Junji, Minister of War, said: "Your Majesty! I will discuss it!"
Then a group of military bosses and civil servants also discussed it. Even many military generals, such as Yuchi Gong, immediately proposed to lead the army north to capture prisoners, arrest him for 500,000, and immediately promote labor reform across the country, and then exempt corvee labor. Let us create a country without corvee and enjoy this supreme merit together.
