Chapter 59: The Origin of Storytelling Staff Officers (3)

The people in Atlantis listened to Qian Liang's remarks, and immediately raised their spirits, this strategy actually has fatal flaws, if it is used rashly, it will not cause a big mistake, and they are afraid in their hearts, fortunately, there are many storyteller-level staff officers invited this time, and they can check and fill in the gaps.

On the other hand, the "storytelling-level staff officers" were indeed smiling and silent, and even Zhao Yi smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, half-leaning on the back of the chair, his expression was quite natural, and he didn't seem to care about Qian Liang's words.

But having said that, it's not surprising that this phenomenon occurs, not to mention that all storytellers still think it's just a joke, even if they are really debating, they won't make a fuss because Qian Liang said a "fatal flaw". They are "battle-hardened" people, and when they usually tell stories, when they talk about those who advise, they first say some alarmist words to attract the attention of the monarch, and then state their own words and persuade the monarch to adopt them. It's all the same old routine, just listen quietly. However, this gesture, in the eyes of the Atlanteans, was misunderstood again. Misunderstanding, that's how wonderful it is.

Qian Liang continued: "They advocate relying on vertical and horizontal activities to complete the grand plan and hegemony. It is undeniable that if the technique of combining vertical and horizontal is used well, it can indeed work wonders. However, they attach too much importance to relying on external forces and exaggerate the role of strategy and strategy, which they regard as the key to the country's strength. It must be known that whether a country is strong or not depends on its own national strength. However, we Legalists are different, we focus on reforming politics and economy and seeking to enrich the country and strengthen the army, so as to truly enhance the national strength and strengthen the country, and then expand step by step to the outside world to complete the great cause of reunification. To sum it up, it is 'build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slow to become king'. The purpose of building a high wall is to develop infrastructure and science and technology and lay a solid foundation for the country; to accumulate grain is to develop the economy and accumulate money and grain; after all, fighting a war is to fight money and grain in the final analysis; and to delay the claim to be king, where it is used in your country, it means to slow down foreign wars first, and then strike after having an absolute superiority, so as not to turn the holes in one's own country into a mess that will not be easy to clean up. Of course, Zhao Lao's technique also refers to having an absolute advantage and then attacking, although I am also here, but the emphasis is different. The technique of Lianheng focuses on the opponent's consumption of strength, and the technique of the Legalist focuses on improving one's own strength, one passive and one active, which is different. In addition, there is another meaning of delaying the title of king, if you lay down a rebel force, after annexation, your country will not be able to eliminate the wounds of war in time and maintain its national strength, but it is better to let them be in the hands of the rebel forces first, so as not to cause a greater crisis and be seized by other forces. It is advisable to wait for the national strength to become strong and take it slowly. ”

At this time, Princess Abilee's minister in charge of the money and grain economy couldn't help but say loudly: "The words of Counselor Qian speak to my heart. Indeed, although it took a long time to prepare, since the war, money and materials have been consumed enormously, and they are often stretched thin, and they can only barely survive by tearing down the western wall and repairing the eastern wall. There is indeed an urgent need to develop national strength. Moreover, the phrase 'build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king' is indeed concise and impressive. Princess Ebilee......" The minister looked at the princess and said, "I feel that the money counselor strategy is more suitable. ”

Before Princess Abile could reply, another voice rang out: "Ridiculous! If you want to develop your national strength, you must have a stable external environment. Now that the G-7 alliance is imminent, and your country's external environment is full of crises, how can we have time for you to develop with peace of mind? Besides, if you are developing, the other side is also developing, so you are sure that one country will definitely develop faster than the seven of them?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see Sun San, a "storyteller-level staff officer", stand up, shake his hand, close the gently swaying folding fan, hold it in his hand, clasp his fists in both hands, and say to Qian Liang: "Offended." ”

Qian Liang said with a smile: "In his position, since we are now working for Atlantis, we should do our best to find loopholes and fill the vacancy." Is there any offense or not? Let Sun Lao continue to explain. ”

Sun San then bowed his hand to Qian Liang to show his gratitude, and then said to the people in Atlantis: "I will continue with the two questions I just asked. How can we ensure a stable external environment and how can we ensure that we can develop faster than other forces? Anyone who has studied geometry knows that there is a simple problem, triangles have stability. The principle is the same, and when we apply it to the art of war, it is a rather extraordinary strategic policy, 'three-legged'. What is the 'three-legged tripod' and why can it solve those two problems? Ding, which was used to cook and store meat in ancient times in the Great Song Dynasty, was one of the most important bronze species in ancient times. Foot is the bracket under the tripod. In ancient times, there were mainly two kinds of tripods: three-legged and four-legged. So why is it called 'three-legged' and not 'four-legged'?"

Sun San said this, paused, and saw that everyone was thinking there, and he didn't procrastinate, and gave the answer directly: "Because the three legs are the most stable." Anyone who has used a tripod knows that the tripod can be stabilized and leveled no matter what uneven ground it is on. If the ground on which one leg is located is low, stretch the leg or shrink the leg if not. In this way, the legs can maintain a stable balance, and the same is true between countries. In view of the situation in your country, my plan is different from Zhao Lao's method of dividing into two alliances. My plan is to divide your country and the remaining seven nations into three largely evenly matched alliances through some diplomatic means. If one alliance develops and is slightly stronger, it will threaten the other two forces and be limited by their alliance. In this way, you will be able to maintain a stable situation, create an external environment for your country's development, and likewise ensure that the other side does not develop faster than yours. ”

At this time, someone in Atlantis asked: "Then we are developing fast, won't we also be resisted by the other two forces?"

"It makes sense to say so. Sun San nodded, but then said, "But, will you leak all the national strength to them? Just like when several of their forces rebelled, did they tell you clearly?"

"Presumptuous!" an Atlantean official shouted.

Zhan Futon felt unhappy in his heart, how can he say that this is also a guest he invited, to help, not to look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, although Sun San's words are a little harsh, but how can he be so disrespectful? Just as he wanted to say a few words, Princess Abile had already reprimanded.

"Don't be rude. These are the distinguished guests of Song Guolai, and they are friends who are really here to help us. It is precisely because they are genuinely giving us advice that they will be honest with us and speak out. Don't we even have the courage to face reality, do you still have a sense of honor in the kingdom of Atlantis?"

The Atlantean official who had just spoken had a red face, bowed to Sun San, and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who is reckless and rude, and I ask the staff to be a lot, don't care." ”

Sun San hurriedly waved his hand to signal that it was okay, saying that his words were also a little inconsiderate.

Princess Ebili said: "Please also ask Counselor Sun to continue, in addition, everyone here should not have reservations, be afraid, please speak bluntly if you have anything to say, we will not hide from illness and avoid medical treatment, and we will sincerely listen to everyone's opinions." ”

Seeing Princess Ebilee's handling like this, Zhan Fu smiled, thinking that the object he fancied was good and would do things.

Sun San then explained: "How to ensure that you develop faster than them involves a lot. Leaving aside all aspects of how to develop, we must also pay special attention to secrecy and reconnaissance work. It is how to prevent other forces from knowing our exact national strength and development speed, and how to accurately know the national strength and development speed of other forces. As for how to do it, it is necessary to analyze the specific problems in detail, and I will not repeat them here. After speaking, Sun San signaled that he was finished and sat down.

After that, the remaining public commentators explained their plans one by one.

After the public commenting performance artists finished speaking, Zhu Yunpeng also stood up and said: "Just now, the seniors explained from the perspective of the overall strategic situation. We're only shallow in our studies, so we won't be in that area. I'll start with how to be a good monarch and give me my own opinion. In ancient times, there was a wise man Cao Di who had such a conversation with his monarch, King Lu Zhuang. Cao Di asked: 'What do you rely on to fight?' Lu Zhuanggong said: "I have never dared to monopolize such health things as food and clothing, and I must give them to the ministers around me." Cao Di replied: 'This kind of small favor cannot be extended to the people, and the people will not obey you.' Lu Zhuang Gong said: "I have never dared to falsely report and exaggerate the number of sacrificial pigs, cattle and sheep, jade, silk fabrics and other sacrifices, and I must tell the truth to God." Cao Di said, "If you have a little credit, you can't gain the trust of the gods, and the gods won't bless you." Lu Zhuanggong said: "Even if I can't clearly examine all the large and small litigation cases, I will definitely make a reasonable decision based on the facts." Cao Di replied, 'This is the only thing that has done its duty, and it can be used to fight a war on this condition.' If you fight, allow me to go with you. This little story, although only a few short sentences, tells us what we should rely on to fight and how to be a good monarch. Fighting a war does not depend on individual generals or officers and men in the army, but on the concerted efforts of the people of the whole country. How can we arouse the enthusiasm of the people? That is, we must be fair, just, and open. But this cannot be done by the monarch alone. People are selfish and subject to subjective initiative, and it is unrealistic to rely on one or two people to ensure absolute fairness. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the system. Use advanced systems to restrain everyone, including kings and ministers. Only in this way can we gather people's hearts, work hard in one place, concentrate our efforts, forge ahead, and help your country accomplish the great cause of reunification. Of course, I know that this proposal may touch the interests of those in power in the early stage, but scraping bones and healing wounds must first remove the carrion, and in the long run, a country can only prosper if it establishes a reasonable system. ”

As soon as Ru Yunpeng's voice fell, it caused a whisper of officials on the Atlantis side, after all, the improvement and change of the system will affect the interests of a large number of people, which will definitely make people jealous.
