Chapter 876: Different Tracks
Sima Yi's participation in the imperial court did not bring any effective improvements, and the proposals advocated for a long time to defend must be lost, prevent people's minds from changing, replace defense with offense, interfere with Tian Xin's replacement of Han, and separate the old ministers of the Han dynasty are just proposals.
At the end of the meeting, Cao Shuang accompanied Cao Rong to spread in the garden, and Cao Shuang was worried and worried.
As one of the biggest vested interests of the Great Wei at present, he was distressed by the decline of the country, and he only hated himself for not having the ability to turn the tide.
Even so, we can understand Sima Yi's intentions, and it is also clear that Sima Yi's proposal is destined to be impossible...... It took so much money for the imperial court to reach a temporary armistice.
A very costly, very valuable armistice.
Since Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengzu of the Han Dynasty fought for Hanzhong, the entire Great Wei Dynasty has been fighting year after year, from the initial initiative to mobilize troops to attack the Han army, and then to the exhaustion to deal with the attacks of the Han army and government soldiers in rounds.
From the time Cao Shuang began to have memories, the entire Great Wei was constantly fighting.
Cao Shuang is like this, and so is Cao Rong.
At that time, Emperor Wu inspected the southeast and took him and his sister with the army; That year, it was rainy in Jianghuai, and the battle in Yizhou was quickly decided, so Emperor Wu gave up Sun Quan to deal with the more tricky Han Chengzu and launched an offensive against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong first.
In the end, the protracted Hanzhong tug-of-war broke out, and since then, the Great Wei Shimin has been fighting fiercely for many years, so that the Central Plains was emptied.
If it weren't for Sun Quan's ability to give the Han army an important blow from time to time, with the speed of the Han army's advancement, it might have already reversed the pattern of the world.
So in the face of this precious armistice...... Not only Cao Rong and Cao Shuang, but also the vast majority of Wei officials and scholars cherish it very much.
For Sima Yi's unrealistic proposal...... Cao Rong's reaction was calmer than Cao Shuang's, so he smiled.
Sima Yi put forward a proposal that could not be implemented and would provoke slander and dissatisfaction from all sides, in addition to expressing a firm attitude of resistance, it is estimated that he also wanted to pollute his own reputation.
Maybe it's just for self-preservation.
Guessing this purpose, there is no need to delve into it, just reveal it for the time being.
Anyway, people have memories, and the hundred officials and people of Wei will not forget Sima Yi's attitude, and those people in the south will not forget the old things that Sima Yi did and what he said.
Cao Rong and Cao Shuang have returned to their previous life and live a day by day.
Da Wei can hide in the palace and be the shopkeeper, but the important ministers of the three provinces and six departments can't really just wait.
No one is willing to be killed, nor is he willing to give up his current status.
How can you say that you will give up if you give up the foundation and social status that have been up and down for decades in troubled times, and the foundation and social status that have been saved by several generations or more than ten generations of the family?
Walking on the road and being glanced at with disdain by civilians is worth desperately killing in an era where it is worth killing...... If it is not a last resort, who is willing to preach and seek what 'peace is precious'?
How to better prepare for the decisive battle in the future is the common goal pursued by the vast majority of important ministers.
Therefore, the important ministers of the Great Wei Dynasty once again advocated the minting and circulation of five-baht coins to increase national strength and mobilize forces in the way of revitalizing the economy.
During the period of Emperor Shenzong, the five-baht coin was briefly implemented, but for various reasons he had to give up and continue to use cloth and grain as currency.
It was a last resort in wartime and a part of the wartime economy.
But the Han army was also in wartime, why was it able to successfully promote the five-baht coin?
It was probably because the people in the hinterland of the Han army had great hope and confidence in the long-term future of the war...... The most important thing is that the economy and trade have always been maintained under the rule of the other party, and the increasing activity of various commercial activities has contributed to the demand for coins.
In various trade activities, Shu brocade is a hard currency, and Jiangdong and Great Wei are buying it through various channels. really responded to that sentence, every Shu brocade that Emperor Shenzong spent money to buy became the tough armor and sharp weapons of the Han army.
Regardless of Han Chengzu, Zhuge Liang or Tian Xin, they are all working hard to protect the commerce under their rule, crack down on the monopoly of the powerful and powerful, benefit the people, and stimulate the people's enthusiasm for production and business.
Mountain people from near and far came to defect, achieving the comprehensive purpose of gathering people and money.
In order to protect the fragile and growing commerce, handicrafts, and the standard of living of the Hundred Faiths; The Han army won several decisive battles but had to retreat, the reason was that as much grain as it collected, it fought a battle with as much grain as it wanted.
He never did anything to kill chickens and take eggs because of the progress of the war, and even in order to help the fleeing soldiers and people of Yanyu and Henan in the Central Plains to move to Nanyang, the Han army of the Northern Expedition exhausted its reserves of military rations and withdrew to Nanyang with the Yanyu soldiers completely.
The result was significant, the population of Nanyang gathered, and the fleeing people became part of the national strength of the Han army and Beifu after relieving their breath.
In contrast, how has Dawei spent these years?
It is impossible to elaborate on the fact that almost all the policies conducive to the relaxation of national strength were carried out in opposition to the Han army.
The more wars are fought, the weaker the national strength becomes, and the more the people's hearts are fought, the more sloppy they become, just like a big ship of rotten wood that is about to fall silent, and there is no more impact.
In this case, the armistice agreement is very valuable, which can allow the tense officials of the Great Wei to take a good time, and can also give the Great Wei ministers a little time to study various measures and policies, and then find an entry point to restore and revitalize the economy of the Wei State.
As a result, emulating and introducing various measures from Beifu has become a shortcut at the moment.
There is nothing to hesitate about, first introduce and imitate wooden rails to increase the efficiency of land transportation.
The transportation cost is solved, and then you can do other things handily and get twice the result with half the effort.
Otherwise, we will follow the old way of doing nothing...... That's hopeless; The Kanto Prefecture has a complex water system that can be used for both agricultural irrigation and water transportation, and with the assistance of wooden rails, the Kanto Prefecture alone will be able to recover quickly.
The speed of recovery and development is not as fast as that of the four prefectures in the eastern part of the country, let alone the Guanlong and Jingxiang regions.
Then the armistice agreement was a suspended death sentence for Great Wei...... There is no substance.
In order to make the precious armistice agreement meaningful, it is necessary to get rid of stubborn diseases and drink the advanced production technology and concepts of Bukfu.
However, he was worried that the railcar system he built would become an accelerator for his own destruction, so the Wei State began to build wooden rails...... The gauge between the two wooden rails is exactly one foot higher than the standard gauge in Guanzhong, which is a narrow gauge.
In this way, even if the enemy loses the early stage of the war and allows the other side to take away part of the control of the track, the own side can burn the carriages in advance, or store the carriages in batches and put them in the rear of the battle line.
The Yellow River is blocked, and no matter how powerful Beifu is, it is impossible to transport the carriage to Hebei...... The gauge of the track is different, and even if the rail cars in Guanlong and Kanto are transported, they will not be used.
This design ...... But it made Sima Shi feel funny, and there was a suspicion of covering his ears and stealing the bell.
Obviously there is already a disadvantage, what is the point of paying attention to such details?
If you lose, you will lose everything, and you should go all out...... But they are constantly discussing around a narrow track, and they are completely unable to understand what these people think.
Ridicule is ridicule, Sima Shi actively participated in the construction of rail cars...... The new rail car will join Yecheng and Jixian to increase control over the six towns of Youyun.
