After using the imperial examination to select talents, Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian and said, "Qin Aiqing continues. ”

Qin Tian bowed his head and said: "Then there is to encourage business, only frequent trade exchanges, people can make my Tang Dynasty more rich and powerful, so that there can be more money inflow, with money, it is natural to be able to strengthen the army." ”

Whether a country can be strong or not, whether it is rich or not, in fact, many times, depends on whether their business is prosperous and powerful, and only through trade can a country be truly rich and strong.

After Qin Tian said this, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, but this silence was quickly broken by one person.

Gao Shilian stood up, he looked at Qin Tian and smiled, and then said: "Shengshang, the minister does not agree with what Qin Tian said, business can indeed prosper my Datang, after all, all kinds of things we need are obtained through trade, but the minister does not agree to encourage business, we still have to encourage farming and suppress merchants, otherwise, many people have gone to business, no one is engaged in production, and my Datang's food is bound to be in short supply, at that time, how can it be good?" ”

If you value business, I am afraid that it will hurt the peasants, this is an inertial idea that many people have, after all, farmers work hard for a year, only how much money do they earn?

But if you are in business, you may have a little bit of stuff upside down, half a month and a month, more than you earn in a year.

Merchants are profit-seeking, and the people are also profit-seeking, and those peasants see that they make money in business, and they still have status as businessmen, then they will definitely have plans to do business.

Over time, a lot of land will be wasted.

If there is no one to farm, there will be not enough food, and if there is not enough food, Datang will have big problems.

Therefore, after Gao Shilian stood up, many ministers also stood up and agreed.

"Holy Lord, my Chinese land has been heavy on agriculture and light on business for more than a thousand years, and this rule must not be abolished."

"Yes, please think about it."

“…………”

Many ministers stood up to oppose it, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and he was also very entangled, encouraging business, and the problems that Gao Shilian said were really likely to arise.

But if business is not encouraged, it is not easy to become strong and prosperous in a short period of time.

There are two sides to the whole thing, and it's very tangled, and I don't know what to do.

Qin Tian stood on the main hall and did not rush to refute, until everyone had almost said it, he stood up and said: "Holy Lord, the minister said that business is encouraged, but he didn't say that he should light agriculture, the minister's meaning, business and farming should be equally important." ”

"Phew, what do you mean? Making money in business is much faster than making money from farming, and at that time, it is not something that you can solve by paying equal attention to it. ”

"That is, those farmers are not stupid, if it is more profitable to do business, it is strange that they are willing to continue farming."

"Profit-seeking, everyone is profit-seeking, do you Qin Tian understand this?"

Everyone, you accuse Qin Tian word by word, but Qin Tian only smiled indifferently: "In this world, there are many people who farm land, and some people can only farm land, these populations are completely enough to support all the land in my Datang, and when the time comes, some policies can be introduced to make the people's farming more secure, so that no one can farm the land." ”

In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who farm land, even in the era that has been very developed in later generations, because food is fundamental, and if there are fewer people who plant, the price of grain will naturally rise, and farming will be able to make money, and there will definitely be people who will farm at that time.

And running a business requires a mind, and not everyone can go into business.

After Qin Tian finished saying this, he was still attacked by some people, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and thought, if business and farming can be paid equal attention, this is naturally the best thing for them to Datang.

Thinking that Datang needs to be rich and strong now, maybe you can try it, but it really doesn't work, and you can stop it.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Okay, I agree with Qin Aiqing's point of view, I still have to encourage business in Datang, Qin Aiqing continued." ”

Li Shimin spoke, although Gao Shilian and the others were a little angry, they had no choice but to retreat abruptly and let Qin Tian continue.

Qin Tiandao: "Shengshang, in addition to talents and encouraging business, the minister thinks that the most important thing is to improve the strength of my Tang Dynasty, the army is not strong, how can I destroy the Turks?" ”

After all, this is a fact recognized by everyone, only when the Tang Dynasty is strong, it will be easier to destroy the Turks.

In fact, what Qin Tian said is very simple and easy to understand, that is, talent and wealth, after having these, you can strengthen the army, as long as the army is strong, the Tang Dynasty will be invincible.

"Qin Aiqing is right, what do you think about strong soldiers?"

"Shengshang, the minister thinks that when the army is strengthened from several aspects, the first is the physical fitness of my Tang soldiers, this can not be wasted, we must practice diligently, so that the physique of the soldiers can be enhanced, so that it is good to fight on the battlefield, second, it is to enhance the troops, my Tang cavalry, infantry, archers, but the number is not very much, cavalry and archers are not many, the tools are also relatively poor, so the third point, we must improve these tools, cavalry, we want to use the best horses, archers, I want to use the best craftsmen, Even the weapons of the infantry had to be improved. ”

When these words came out, the ministers still had nothing to say, because what Qin Tian said was all the truth.

The Turkic cavalry is very powerful, and when their Tang infantry encounters, they basically have little chance of winning, even if their Tang cavalry encounters the Turkic cavalry, they will also lose the upper hand.

Infantry, archers, etc., are relatively not particularly strong, and they are all a cut short of the Turks, in this way, even if they are equal in number to the Turks, even if they are good at using formations and tactics, but if they want to win, they are not 100% sure.

Only if they were stronger than the Turks in all circumstances could they have the possibility of victory in a decisive battle.

Qin Tian said in the main hall, and soon, Qiang Tang's program gradually became clear, and after hearing these programs, everyone seemed to have a goal and a direction, and they wanted to take a heart booster and reassuring pill, and finally they were not so worried.

Qin Tian said almost all the situations, but there were some that he thought were very important, but he didn't say them, that is, the situation of the vassal kings in various places.

The vassal kings in various places are indeed very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, at least King Qin and maintaining stability in various places are very helpful, but the vassal kings are not in their hearts, but they are not good for the Tang Dynasty, so that when the Tang Dynasty fights abroad, it also needs to beware of these vassal kings biting from the inside.

Therefore, Qin Tian wanted to say that he would cut the feudal domain, but cutting the feudal domain was a big deal, and before Li Shimin's soldiers became stronger, I am afraid it would be useless to say too much.
