What does this mean?

The meaning couldn't be simpler.

"Cut the flesh and blood of foreign countries and replenish the vitality of China, why not?" Lu Qian laughed, "That Haidong Goryeo is a country, and it has more than 200,000 yuan a year. The two countries are trade-free, and the annual tax payable by the ports of Denglai is not less than 100,000 yuan. ”

"Mutual business and trade and the interests of the people, abundance."

"The power of one of its countries can come to this point, if all the countries of the world come to the court, the Central Plains and other countries have trade, and my silk, cloth, tea, porcelain, etc., are all needed by the countries of their generations, so how much should the interests of the people be? What are the interests of the government and the court?"

"And the cost of the court in one year, the cost of officials, the army, and the people's livelihood is roughly the same. and take all the people of the people, and the anointment of the people. The king takes it from the outside and uses it from within. If you ask for money and food outside, you can pay a small amount of money inside, reduce miscellaneous taxes, reward your ministers, and make your sergeants live a better life. How can this king not do such a thing that benefits the kingdom and the people without harm? ”

Lu Qian's words were deafening, and the uncle and nephew of the Huyan family were stupid. This policy tendency is completely different from the universal values of China today.

It must be known that today's Song Confucians are all idealists, and what they talk about is more about education, and more about convincing people with morality. Since the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the voice of criticizing the Han and Tang dynasties and denying the rule of the Han and Tang dynasties has been rising day by day, and the science led by Er Cheng can be said to have taken Confucian idealism to the extreme, criticizing the two Han and Li Tang, and even criticizing Wang Tong's continuation of the Six Classics.

- Wang Bo's grandfather, who taught some awesome disciples.

You must know that in the early Tang Dynasty and the early Northern Song Dynasty, scholars were very respectful of Wang Tong's continuation of the scriptures, believing that Wang Tong's continuation of the scriptures had the merit of preserving the Tao and inherited the learning of Confucius, and on this basis, it was further believed that Wang Tong's learning opened the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

However, from the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Confucianism was more and more inclined to think of the Three Dynasties—they were different eras, and now it was the prosperous era of Laozi's culture—and regarded the two Han Dynasty, Li and Tang as negative examples opposed to the "Three Dynasties". Therefore, the scholars turned to criticize Wang Tong for continuing the scriptures.

Because the former governs, it is a mixture of royal and domineering, how can it be compared with Yao, Shun, and three generations. This is fundamentally different.

In their eyes, the two Han Dynasty are just domineering with benevolence and righteousness, and although Wang Tong's way is virtuous, it is also overbearing. In the third year of Renshou, Wang Tong went to Chang'an to see Emperor Wen of Sui, and played the "Twelve Strategies of Taiping", advocating "respecting the king's way, pushing the hegemony, examining the past and the present, and transporting the world in the palm of his hand". This made Song Ru unhappy.

Although it turns out. Song Ru is a scumbag compared to the Han and Tang Dynasty. But people can bear it. For example, Annan Li Changjie slaughtered Yongzhou that year. I was first defeated, and then I gathered a large army to counterattack, and when I couldn't fight anymore, Annan was the first to send a letter and apologize, so that the two sides could negotiate peace. Tens of thousands of people in Yongzhou were slaughtered, and it was over.

It can be said that Song Ru talks about face, face, and morality and justice.

It is a priori to put Huaxia on a moral high ground, and it would be best to tell an example that conforms to his views, such as Zheng He's seven voyages to the West.

And Lu Qian's thinking is Hongguoguo's bandit thinking, which is domineering to put it mildly. Fake benevolence with force. It is like a mudslide in the clear stream, which subverts the three views of the Huyan family's uncles and nephews.

"Since the little general has traveled all over the countries of the South Seas, he should know the military strength of his generation. In your opinion, is it possible for his army to withstand a blow from tens of thousands of elite soldiers on our sea and land? ”

Lu Qian's voice was not loud but not small, and the military generals on the left and right had already stopped talking and looked over.

Hu Yanqing still couldn't reverse his feelings for a while, but he agreed with the truth in Lu Qian's words. Such words as Lu Qian are indeed of great benefit to the country and the people. Thinking of the force of the Nanyang countries again, he said: "They are all small countries, and they are not able to be attacked by a large army. ”

This sentence made Lu Qian laugh here, laughing so unhappily.

"This king doesn't know much about Nanyang, only knows that there are many savages there, and Wang Hua doesn't declare, but the land there is fertile and rich in products. Champong, Cochin, and Chenla are all rich in rice. Nibo, Sanqi Buddha and other countries have never heard of hunger and cold. "Tropical and subtropical, people will never see snowflakes once in their lives, and the products are abundant, and it is really not a joke to eat without working. Bananas, pineapples, coconuts, mangoes, and more, the list goes on.

"Why should such a great place be abandoned at the hands of a group of wild men?"

Lu Qian's eyes swept from the uncles and nephews of the Huyan family, and from the faces of the Wenchen generals on the left and right. Stand up.

"Brothers, look at the world today, how many people are suffering from the land?"

"The rise and fall of this dynasty, the annexation of land, the rich have no land, and the poor have no land, which is the biggest drawback. In the past, Liu Han's Yellow Turban Rebellion and Li Tang's Yellow Nest Rebellion were all rooted in this. It is this Zhao Song, if there are countless landless people, how can I, Lu Qian, achieve today's climate? In the past, why did there be so many children in Liangshan Bo who went up the mountain to join the house? ”

"It's all the scourge of the land."

"The ancients said that after the chaos, there will be great governance. The trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. Why? It's between the population and the acres. Lu Qian became a teacher.

Now, Mr. Lu will start to speak.

"Brothers, listen to me: a great chaos, countless killings, withering people, white bones in the wilderness, and no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. For example, Li Tang, when the world was unified, there were only more than 2 million households during the reign of Gaozu Wude; In the thirteenth year of Taizong's Zhenguan, the number of households was restored to three million; During the reign of Gaozong Yonghui, there were 4 million households in the country; In the first year of Wuzhou Shenlong, there were more than 6 million households in the country; During the reign of Xuanzong Tianbao, the number of households reached nearly 10 million. I have recovered all the vitality of China, so I had a prosperous era in the early years. ”

"So it can be seen that as long as there is peace, as long as there is a mouthful of food, and the people have to multiply, the population will be dense and dense. But the land does not grow. What was this land of Qilu like when it fought the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and what is it like now? On the contrary, as the cultivation is cultivated, the soil will continue to wear out. Look at the Qin and Han dynasties, how the land of Guanzhong was, but when it came to Li Tang, Gaozong had to lead the full house of civil and military to eat Luoyang several times. It can be seen that its local strength is no longer enough to support the people in Guanzhong. ”

When Lu Qian said this, his eyes looked down at the banquet crowd, and the latter were stunned, ignorant, and seemed to have understanding. None of them thought about it this way, but now that they think about it, Yu Luqian's words have new senses and cognitions.

And how many people are there today? In the fourth year of Daguan (1110), there were more than 20.88 million households in the country, and more than 46.73 million people in Dingkou. Even if it is a woman and a child and a child, the people of the whole country are still more than 10,000. ”

"And there are so many acres of land in the world, 10 million people, one person can divide 100 acres; For 10,000 people, one person can only divide ten acres. This is Huang Zhong Dalu, who made everyone present stretch their faces.

"In the middle and late stages of each dynasty, land was annexed, and good people were reduced to slavery. A large number of Li people are penniless and unarmed. Once encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, they can only chop wood as soldiers, uncover the poles, raise troops to rebel, and taste a bite of food. ”

"The imperial court suppressed it for a while, but it couldn't be suppressed for a lifetime. And this repression, isn't it weakening its own strength? In this way, when there is no longer any power to control it, it will be the time when the dynasty changes and the dragon and snake rise. For example, during the Three Kingdoms, such as the end of the Sui Dynasty and the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were disputes again and again, and the blood of the people in the world was shed. The world rises and falls, and the people suffer. ”

In this way, 10 million or 20 million of the 10,000,000 Li people were killed, and the new dynasty was unified and the world was restored. Decades and 100 years later, people breed, and the world has regained its prosperity. ”

There was silence in the hall, dozens of eyes looked at Lu Qian, and there was not a trace of sound. The rumor has grown his mouth like a black whirlwind, and the wiser ones such as Chai Jin, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others have already shown a layer of sweat on their foreheads.

History is cruel, but history often hides its own cruel side. Every time there is a change of dynasty, what attracts the attention of later generations is those civil and military generals who have left their names in history, rather than the corpses of hundreds of people behind them.

"It's a reincarnation. Look at Liu Han, Li Tang, look at the current Zhao Song ......" Lu Qian's gaze looked at Chai Jin, "Does Chai Qing have a clever plan to teach this king to survive this catastrophe?" Later generations called this the "law of historical cycles", which is not something that the Confucian set of kings and "pro-virtuous ministers and distant villains" can crack. Lu Qian will not hold high the banner of "democracy" like ***. At present, the only way to solve this strange circle is to fight outward and expand outward.

"The words of the king are like Huang Zhong Da Lu, which makes the ministers vigilant and embarrassed. Chai Jin is incapable of relieving the king's worries, so please punish the king. ”

The little whirlwind replied cleanly, Lu Qian was smiling in his heart, but his face did not move, he looked at Song Jiang, Chen Guan, Wu Yong, and everyone present, saying that some people were subdued to the ground, including Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing's uncle and nephew.

"Everyone, hurry up. It's the king's impatience. As he spoke, he pulled up the nearest Uncle and Nephew Hu Yanzhuo. What made Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing not shocked was Lu Qian's huge strength. Hu Yanzhuo couldn't resist it, how could he not be surprised? Although he didn't fight Lu Qian personally, he didn't know anything about Lu Qian. The latter's fame has never relied on martial arts. In the palace marshal's mansion back then, he was never famous for his martial arts. Now it seems that this king has not hidden his skills?

Not mentioning how Hu Yanzhuo's heart was churning, he saw Lu Qian pull up Hu Yan's uncle and nephew, and all the civil and military officers in the hall also got up.

He then continued: "You are all talents, you have heard and seen, you should know that what I Lu Qian Shicai said is true. Let's take a look at the history, especially the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty. "Because Lu Qi is also a standard local government now. It is very standard with the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it may not be like those dynasties in history, which prosper today and will be destroyed tomorrow.

"This person, a family, a group, a place, or even a country, there are very few people who can jump out of this cycle. At the beginning, everyone was concentrated, and there was no one who did not care, and no one did not work hard, because the situation was difficult at that time, and everyone had to find a life from ten thousand deaths. Now that he has a firm foothold, a deep foundation, and full wings, people are also slackened at this moment.

Some of them are inert because they last for a long time, and they evolve from a minority to a majority, and when the atmosphere is formed, although there is a strong force, it cannot be reversed and cannot be remedied. Just like the current difficulties of Zhao and Song.

There is also a situation like my Liangshan today, where the power is expanding step by step, driven by meritorious deeds, and moving forward, so that the talents are gradually exhausted and difficult to cope. The environment is more and more complex, and the control tends to be weaker and less solid than before.

But no matter before or after, in my Lu Qian's eyes, I didn't see anyone jumping out of reincarnation. ”

"What do you think is the reason, brothers?"

"You don't know, and neither do I, Lu Qian. I only know that this Confucianism can be used but not all, and it can be trusted but not all. "The reason is very simple, the dynasties have been hung up, and most of them respect Confucianism.

Confucianism also has inner sages and outer kings, but the Confucian inner sage and outer kings are completely different paths from Lu Qian's inner sage and outer kings. "Self-denial and revenge, the world returns to benevolence" is nonsense. "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection", which is also too advanced. The 21st century is not suitable, Lu Qian feels that the only thing that suits it is the materially super-developed real society ZY.

Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then through the country, country governance and then the world peace.

It is a good tradition to advocate "truth, goodness and beauty" and morality, but it is too inappropriate to mix truth, goodness and beauty with morality and governance.

"If one day I, Lu Qian, dominate the world, Lu someone doesn't want to ruin the country and die in three or two hundred years. I don't want my Chinese nobles to suffer a catastrophe and ruin their lives. However, I know that it is difficult to maintain the same rule in this world. There is no such thing as a 100-year immutable law for national policy. It is all too common for people to die in politics.

After I die, and my descendants change the testimonies, will I be able to jump out of the grave?

Land annexation is the nature of the rich and noble. Five years ago, I also wanted a hundred acres of fertile land, and who of you wouldn't want it? This is the foundation of the family. ”

"And Lu Qian also wants to call me the people of Huaxia and give birth to 20,000 or 30,000. But the land is not enough to support it, so what can I do? ”

"Do you want me to starve the people of China, let my domestic soldiers rise up and kill endlessly, or do you want to conquer the Quartet, use my sword to seize the land of outsiders, and turn the surrounding land into my Chinese Han land?"

"Have you taught me?"

successfully taught everyone a lesson, and asked everyone to bow their heads, Lu Qian was proud in his heart.

The answer is self-evident. In the face of this cruel reality, Song Confucianism's concept is so weak.

A heavy snort rang out throughout the lobby. Lu Qian turned to ask Hu Yanqing, "Little general, how many people can be raised in the land of the South Seas?" ”

Hu Yanqing was convinced at this moment, "I don't know how many people can be raised in the land of Nanyang." I only know that the South Seas are vast, and you can't count thousands of miles. There are countless islands in the inner sea, and the small one is up to a county to seal the land, and the big one can be a country of thousands of miles.

The young general is shallow, does not know the king's hard work, thanks to the king's wisdom, not to the ignorance of the young general, to teach the young general the true truth, to know the mystery inside.

The king's insightful and far-sighted vision will be admired by the young generals.

This is my natural master, in order to solve my worries in China, and it is my great luck in China. I hope that the king will not be humble in Yanqing, and will attack the South Seas in Japan, and the young general will be willing to be a pioneer general, and his liver and brain will be smeared, and he will die. ”

Lu Qian didn't know how many times he laughed today, pulled up Hu Yanqing, and said with a smile, "The little general is also serious." On the trip to Nanyang in Japan, I should also bother the general to raise troops. ”

After that, his eyes swept over the faces of the civil and military ministers again, "Although the South China Sea is good, it is far away, even if there is a clipper to communicate with the mainland, the power of the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip." In this way, it is inevitable that a state and county system like the local government cannot be established, and its officials should be given military and political powers, so that they can be dealt with intelligently. In this way, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no ambitious people who will take the opportunity to stir up trouble in order to stand on their own feet. One is the drawbacks of today's cochines. ”

"This is not only the South Seas, but also the land of the Western Regions."

"Therefore, if Lu Qian really has the day to expand his territory, I should also do the reason of Zong Zhou. Divide the meritorious heroes of the clan and establish the country. Brothers, don't think that Lu Qian is coaxing you, I am sincere. ”

"Goo", hearing this, Chai Jin, Song Jiang and many others couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of salivation at this moment. The air column above his head instantly became more and more solidified.

Even the black whirlwind seemed to understand after hearing the words of 'dividing the clan's heroes and building the country'. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva loudly, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Brother is really willing to take countless territories and divide our brothers? Don't be deceived. ”

"How can I lie to you, and how can I be reluctant. Instead of cheapening outsiders in the future, and dividing it among our brothers today, can you still oppose me? ”

Very straightforward to speak. The iron bull hurriedly shook his head: "No, no." My brother didn't fight back even if he killed me. Tie Niu has listened to his brother all his life, and that bird position is very good. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the hall. Lu Qian raised a bowl of wine and drank it all. "Today's words are certain. I, Lu Qian, have said that it is difficult to chase the horse, and if I should not practice it in the future, the brothers can regard me as an enemy. ”

"Brothers, don't think that I, Lu Qian, have lost my mind. Before the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains were started, they thought so far away, which seemed to be whimsical. Luoyang Zhao Song is unbearable, I regard it as a dry bone in the mound, and it will be broken sooner or later! ”

"And Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Zhong Xiang, Fang La and the like, all of them are villains, why worry about it!"

This is the first time Lu Qian has pointed out the world so explicitly. "Do you know the changes in the dragon?"

asked and answered himself, Lu Qian said: "Dragons can be big and small, and they can rise and hide; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. It changes over time, and the Jews have the will to cross the seas. Take it as a thing, comparable to the hero of the world. Those who are heroes have great ambitions, good plans, opportunities to contain the universe, and those who have the ambition to swallow heaven and earth. "When I first looked at the Three Kingdoms, I felt that this paragraph was extremely compelling, and now that it comes out of his mouth, it is really full of Wang Ba's anger.

"Jiangnan La, Hebei Tianhu, Wang Qing, Zhong Xiang, are not heroes." Therefore, in this world, no one will be his opponent, and he will be able to rule the Central Plains without a problem. The difference is only a matter of time.

"Let's look at the world in three or five years, who is the master of ups and downs?"
