The development of information will bring changes to everyone, the most obvious thing is that these people who often read newspapers will have more ideas, everyone's brain circuits are different, and the things they think of are different, so it is not surprising that Sun Xiangfu can have such thoughts in this Zhou Wuxue.

After getting Sun Xiangfu's nod, Zhou Wuxue said, "Your Majesty's policy strategy today is people-oriented, regardless of Hu and Han, the land of the border town is the land of my Datang, the Hu people in the border land, and the people of my Datang.

Respecting their customs will make it easier for them to settle down, just imagine, if you let the grassland people who are used to eating beef and mutton eat rice every day like the Han people, are they happy? Are you willing to let the Han people, who have been cultivating the fields in the warm areas for generations, go to the northern grasslands to suffer the cold and graze?

There are many similar situations, students will not list them one by one, this kind of unhappiness, is estrangement, with estrangement, there will be gaps, there will be gaps, there will be troubles for a long time. ”

Zhou Wuxue said this, deliberately paused, he wanted to make sure whether Sun Xiangfu agreed with what he said, so he could continue, however, those students who put forward those opinions that he did not approve of in front of Sun Xiangfu, at this moment, looking at Zhou Wuxue's eyes, they were full of contempt, there would be problems, everyone knows that the solution is the key, how to turn the border town into a center, and turn the center into a border town, you can say it!

But Sun Xiangfu doesn't see it that way, it is obvious that Zhou Wuxue's understanding of Li Shimin's political policy is higher than that of many students, he thinks that such an excellent student should be praised a few words, so he said, "You are right, Confucius once said, do not do to others what you do not want, no one wants to be forced to change their habits, and enforcing it will only make everyone unhappy, and what everyone is not happy with is destined to be bad."

Your Majesty once said, 'Since ancient times, China has been noble, and I have loved it as one.' This is a kind of big mind that treats everyone equally, and you should remember that you should not think that the ethnic minorities in the border areas are not important.

In addition, the land on the border land mentioned by Zhou is also the land of Datang, which is very important, I Datang is not allowed to lose an inch of land, let alone because it is a border land, and do not manage it well, waste it, once there is such a mentality, then, our land will be lost inch by inch, because the border land will always exist, and the territory will shrink smaller and smaller. ”

Sun Xiangfu's words were equivalent to fully affirming Zhou Wuxue's arguments, and after the students who were suitable to express their opinions lowered their heads in shame, Sun Xiangfu looked at Zhou Wuxue again, "Classmate Zhou, you can continue to express your opinions." ”

When Sun Xiangfu affirmed it, Zhou Wuxue's face obviously had a little more confidence, and when he was approved, he said, "Since ancient times, the capital has been located in one place, and the emperors have grown up in the deep palace, in the eyes of students, this is very unfavorable to the long-term inheritance of a country.

For example, our Datang, the capital is in Chang'an, and it is 5,000 miles away from the easternmost Andong Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. To Lingnan, there is also a distance of more than 4,000 miles. It is seven or eight thousand miles away from Broken Leaf City, the seat of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

At such a long distance, the people did not know the face of the monarch, and there was a lack of effective communication with the center of the imperial court, resulting in the unsmooth government decrees of the imperial court, and the officials and the people were not of the same heart as the imperial court.

The emperor grew up in the deep palace, and he didn't know the people's suffering, so he was like the former Han Dynasty, the army was strong, and the country was rich, but the emperor in the deep palace didn't care about the people's suffering, which made the people unrest and warlords chaotic the country, and then there were eunuchs who were in turmoil, and the powerful ministers dominated the dynasty, etc., which were the reasons for its collapse.

Therefore, the students believe that the capital should not be built in one place, and the monarch and the heirs of the monarch should not be allowed to live in the palace all the year round and be separated from the people.

Therefore, the students came up with a strategy, that is, to build a capital in each of the four borders, echoing the central capital, and let the emperor take turns to govern in each capital. In this way, the border land can be used as the center to govern, and the emperor can frequently walk among the people and know the specific situation of the whole world. ”

After Zhou Wuxue's words were finished, the entire living room was unusually quiet, this guy's brain was too big, and, judging from the eyes of the current people, it was a little too unrealistic.

First of all, the cost of building several capitals is huge. Secondly, to make the emperor active, the cost is even greater. You know, the emperor travels, must be accompanied by a brigade of tens of thousands of people, this walk is thousands of miles, it takes several months, if you often have to rotate, wouldn't it be a long time to run, this cost can be small?

Not only that, when the emperor goes, will the courtiers also follow, so can the emperor and the courtiers live in the process of rushing for the rest of their lives? That's completely unrealistic!

However, Sun Xiangfu did not see it that way, he grew up in later generations, in fact, he was used to seeing the situation of national leaders running around, they spent almost half of the year on the plane, not only running at home, but also running internationally, today this country, tomorrow that country, not in the country there are important meetings to be held in the capital, will not honestly stay in the capital for a few days.

It's a pity that there are no airplanes and no convenient communication in this era, so Zhouwu's theory is indeed a bit unrealistic.

However, he was thinking in the right direction.

As long as the direction is right, Sun Xiangfu will come forward to encourage, so he spoke again, "Your idea is very innovative, now, it may not be realized immediately, but it is possible to achieve it in the future, which can provide very important inspiration for the direction of our future governance, and the imperial court is actually trying to do it." ”

Sun Xiangfu is the biggest leader on the scene, and he affirmed Zhou Wuxue's unrealistic idea, which made many students even more confused.

So Sun Xiangfu organized the language, and said, "What we discussed just now is 'weight over the side, and there will be trouble for a long time', however, this 'suffering' is not only internal trouble, since there is still a border, then there must be external trouble, and the border town is our country."

Yes, Zhou put forward that the border town is the center, and the center is in the border town, which I summarize as, 'The Son of Heaven guards the country', and I think this is very necessary.

We must first determine a goal for the future, at least, every inch of land and every citizen of the country should be protected by the state, or rather, the Son of Heaven.

And only the political ability and military strength of the border areas can really do this.

Of course, the reason why most of you have doubts is that these things are not realistic, it takes a lot of money to build a few capitals, how can the emperor and ministers run around for thousands of miles, which is too expensive and too tiring, however, it has been proven that this is actually effective.

His Majesty's northern tour is an example, and the current southern tour is about to become an example, which can allow the people in the border areas to see the face of the king, bring stability to the country, visit the local area, understand the people's feelings, and enable the imperial court to introduce policies and strategies that are more suitable for governing the local area, which is positive for the long-term peace and stability of the country.

So, what we should consider are the difficulties that hinder us from promoting the positive development of the country.

Is it thousands of miles away? At that time, I caught a lot of fish with the villagers of Xingfu Village, but I couldn't afford to send it to the county seat fifty miles away to sell.

And then what? I have a boat and a horse, not to mention the county seat of dozens of miles, that is, Chang'an, which is more than a hundred miles away, I can run in more than two hours.

Later, we had a cement road in Guanzhong, and the depot built tricycles and bicycles, and now, I travel back and forth between Xingfu Village and Chang'an, which is faster.

Another example, when the Goguryeo War broke out the year before last, Zou Guogong was urgently ordered to rush to the front line, do you know how long it took him to go from Chang'an to Pyongyang? ”

This kind of transfer of high-ranking officials, how could the students know, they were all waiting for Sun Xiangfu to announce the answer by himself with a blank face.

Sun Xiangfu raised his hand and gestured to six, "Six days." ”

"Six days?"

Hearing this data, many students present couldn't help twitching their mouths, Pyongyang is four or five thousand miles away from Chang'an, and the speed of this rush is faster than the speed of eight hundred miles, but the speed of eight hundred miles is only enough to send letters about eight hundred miles a day, and this speed is achieved by the complete and uninterrupted replacement of horses along the way, and they run at full speed in turns.

Alone, even if there are unlimited horses for you to replace along the way, you can't run non-stop for twelve hours a day!

Seeing that everyone looked at himself more puzzled, Sun Xiangfu explained, "The shipyard has a clipper specially designed for the speed of sailing, smooth sailing, walking on a straight canal, the speed is much faster than the non-stop running of the galloping horse, twelve hours of continuous walking, a day of sailing can reach thousands of miles, and with the progress of our technology, in the future, we may be able to reach the border from Chang'an faster." ”

In the past, everyone was accustomed to taking two days, or even three days, from Chang'an to Luoyang by water, but now, it is basically more than a day, because there is only a few hundred miles of distance, and it is a smooth water, with the speed of the water steamer, even if there is no wind, without raising the sails, just relying on the speed of the water wheel and the water flow, it is almost enough to run for more than 20 hours.

Now, not only the waterway is fast, but the land route is also fast, because, now there is a reason to take a straight and easy cement road, even if it is a caravan, there is no official channel to change horses, only rely on their own horsepower, take the land route, and you can get to Luoyang in three days.

Sun Xiangfu said earlier that the imperial court has tried to do it, which makes everyone think that the Wang family started last year, from Guanzhong to Mayi to build the cement road, now, I am afraid that it has already been repaired to the territory of Bingzhou, it should be completed a few months earlier than expected, that is to say, in the future, from Chang'an, to Shanyang, Dingxiang, there will be a good cement road to walk, the whole journey is less than two thousand miles, with the speed of the more common carriage on the cement road, everyone only needs eight or nine days, you can go to Shanyang, if there is a change of horses along the way, It can be faster, after all, since the cement road in Guanzhong was built, there are some inns along the way that can provide horse change or take care of horses, as long as they pay a little money, they can beat horses all the way to Shanyang.

So in the future, will there be cement roads leading to Guangzhou, Pyongyang, and even Broken Leaf City, making it faster and more convenient to travel from Chang'an to these places?

Since Sun Xiangfu said that the imperial court is already doing it, it is inevitable that with the rapid growth of Datang's current economic strength, it can fully support the construction of more cement roads, so there may be faster cars in the future!
