6. How can you throw away an inch of land?
Lu Zhen has nothing to refute this, if he can collect so many taxes this year, then he will not oppose the military operation to recover Helong.
After all, the military budget plan is also very much in line with the fiscal policy of "living within the limits of income" that he has always advocated.
At this time, Jia Tan, who was on the seat, said to the emperor and everyone present: Although the detailed accounting books for the army are still being checked, the servants can give everyone an explanation, that is, to completely recover Helong, it will take 80,000 to 100,000 soldiers, and spend a total of 12 million yuan on grain and silk.
Hearing this amount, only the sound of silk and bamboo music was left on the feast, and everyone fell silent, this amount is indeed difficult to afford.
Now the Tang Dynasty's finances, why there is a phenomenon of the amount of income and income, a bit of a very important reason is also the embarrassment of the national economy, the two taxes collected every year and other total revenues, divided into the three divisions of the Household Department, but after the expenditure of military spending, official salaries, and the palace and royal use, it can be said that there is not much left, and the central government is very poor; The local area is also not optimistic, although most of the Hudou rice is left in the state and county standing to "prepare for water and drought", but the local government can not spend it casually before getting the permission of the imperial court, and the part of the money that stays in the state is fixed, and after calculating the pounds, it often has to operate in debt, which is also commonly referred to as the fiscal deficit.
The central government is poor, and the local governments are not rich, and under such a financial system, coupled with the Fangzhen system, the whole country cannot play a game of chess, and it is indeed very difficult to use the power of the whole country to launch a "Helong War" that will not see any benefits for the time being.
Lu Zhen thought about it again and again, and then looked at Gao Yue, who was also contemplating, with regretful eyes, meaning that I really tried my best, but Yisong, this situation is really not optimistic.
After all, there were some people in the imperial court who advocated "abandoning the land", that is, a considerable number of ministers said that now the defense lines of Longshan, Liupan Mountain, Hetao and Jiannan in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty have been stabilized, and Xifan may not be able to invade Gyeonggi on a large scale for one or two decades, so it is better to simply abandon the land in Longxi, including the Northwest Court of Anxi, in order to reduce military spending in exchange for peace in the situation, and to exchange peace for development.
Gao Yue had also heard about this, and he was especially angry.
But now the trend of thought in the whole world has begun to have the prototype of the next dynasty, that is, to advocate abandoned land and unprincipled peace: the land of Longxi cannot be managed, and we can discard it; Mobei is too far away, it is all barbarians, it is useless to gain, we discard it; What is the benefit of China in the land of Annam? It's better to give up the strategy.
In this way, the Western Regions are gone, the Hetao is gone, the Northeast is gone, and the Cochins are gone, and they shrink into the most traditional territory and are complacent, boasting about what "Huayi distinguishes" for some locusts in later generations to be complacent, judging the short and long by bloodline, determining Huayi by region, and mentally castrating and anesthetizing themselves over and over again, only satisfied with making a three, six, nine, and other shelf, ruthlessly exploiting the people's anointed blood, and feeding themselves as the so-called intoxicated Taoist system of the so-called scholar elite, once the foreign enemy occupies the place where these cubs sell their fields, they become powerful, Iron horses are full of suburbs, stirring up the wind and dust, they can't find the way to save the country, and they don't dare to let others come to save, so they can only shrug the tip of their pale noses, looking for the "wisdom of the ancestors" in the yellowed pile of old papers, the domineering and energetic behavior of the Han and Tang Dynasties makes them scared to death, because their sluggish body and spirit are not enough to support this kind of domineering, they can only play their expertise, and use ink to ugly dwarf the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and advocate the so-called Taoist system, what Kong Zhongni only Meng Ke, After Meng Ke's death, the Taoist system was not passed on, how many years later, only one gentleman took over this bright lamp and lit it to inherit the Taoist system, otherwise it would be as long as the night As for these two Taoist gentlemen, did they really save the country and the people from the fall of "long as night"? The real answer is simply not worth a damn.
The spirit of self-exaltation, which is detached from reality, is completely vulnerable to the cruel and cold reality, and can only be reduced to a virtual moral benchmark for mutual attack and boasting.
The most taboo thing for an impotent person is that others say that he doesn't lift it, and the only thing he can do is to do everything he can to prove three things:
"It is unhealthy and sinful to be all the time";
"The sages of ancient times are not lifted";
"I can't have sex because I love my wife spiritually, which is a noble morality."
Therefore, when a strong foreigner comes to occupy the house, his wife and daughter, he can only swallow his anger, flatter and flatter, and serve and please the new master with the "way of male concubine", and he becomes more and more proficient, and more and more shameless.
Isn't that the small island where the so-called true Taoist system is located now doing such a thing?
And the great man has also said that when our country picks up the Tao again, and there are a group of life and youth teachers waving the flag and shouting for it, it is really the skin and the inside are about to come up.
The real Taoism is: Everywhere in the world is, all my Chinese editions, and not an inch can be discarded! If you throw it away, eat bran vegetables, and when you use it as pants, you have to take it back.
"What if there are 50,000 soldiers?" Thinking of this, Gao Yue made up his mind, sat quietly, and asked.
Jia Tan groaned, and then said that it could be reduced to 800 to 9 million guan, and it could be reduced to about 7 million guan for half a year.
"What if only Qin and two states are recovered for the time being?" Gao Yue asked again.
"In that case, three million is enough."
At this time, the emperor's eyes looked at Gao Yue, expecting his conclusion.
Sure enough, Gao Yue's expression was resolute, and he gently pushed the cup in front of him away, and finally said: "Please ask the three divisions of the imperial court to allocate three million guan, I can complete the emperor's order and recover the Longyou states first." ”
The emperor was approving in his heart, and Lu Zhen, Jia Tan and others had no objections, since Gao Yue agreed to do this, then we, as ministers, would support it.
Why did Han Yun's plan to recover Helong unfinished back then? In addition to his personal misfortune, there is another point, that is, he pinned his hopes on the warlord Xuanwu Liu Xuanzuo, and it is conceivable that even if Han Xuan does not die, it will be difficult to recover the lost territory by relying on Liu Xuanzuo's Xuanwu army.
Now that Gao Yue has stood up and is willing to shoulder this responsibility, then with what he has done in the past, he will really continue to do it!
At this time, the emperor said that this topic is so decided, and all the ministers can have their own affairs, and I now have a new topic, everyone can refer to it.
"Over the years, the country has been really full of disasters and difficulties, I am stupid, I don't notice, first there is a rebellion, and then there is Fengtian sowing, and then the world locust plague, floods and droughts, snow disasters are endless, fortunately, in the past three years, the grain and wheat have been harvested continuously, the situation has also stabilized, Xifan was repelled and did not dare to invade Xinjiang, Hui Nanzhao began to make friends with me and Tang again, and the party was completely wiped out, I remembered something."
Then the princes asked what it was.
"The monk of the Buddha once said that my Tang should welcome the second Buddha bone every 30 years, so as to ensure that my Tang can be rich every 30 years, and the internal affairs are clear, and the external martial arts are prosperous Now it is 30 years away from the previous emperor's Buddha bones?" The emperor's words shocked the ministers, except for Gao Yue.
The emperor actually wants to welcome the Buddha's bones?
