Chapter 5 Towards Unification Section 78

Liu Bei walked out of the tower, and Dian Wei, who assigned the guard at the staircase, went to the street to call Liu Hun and the others to come up, turned around and returned to the tower, and sat quietly and waited.

On the central tower of the Lei Building, what is hidden is Liu Beijun's absolute secret - a complete textbook of mathematics, physics and chemistry from primary school to high school, and more than a dozen copies of this set of textbooks have been printed and printed, which are stored here along with the printing plates.

The knowledge now taught in the school under Liu Bei's jurisdiction is equivalent to the primary school curriculum at the highest, and a small amount of junior high school geometry and trigonometric functions are also taught in the highest school under his jurisdiction, the Izumo School. Geometry is used to train engineers, and trigonometry is used to train navigators. The rest of the knowledge copied by Liu Bei and others is hidden here. Every year, the top students of the imperial examination are allowed to enter this tower, and Liu Bei or Yin Dong is in charge of selecting a few books for them to read according to their strengths.

Of course, they are forbidden to take notes while reading, and books can only be read here, and how much they can remember counts their skills. Ten days for a period of time, after reading and leaving, after that, it is forbidden to talk about the books here. However, because Liu Bei pretended to be mysterious, the students said that there was a book from heaven hidden here. The champions read very seriously, after that, they all continued their own interest in the study, gradually, over the years Qingzhou champions formed their own small circle, they often gathered together, mysteriously study the "Book of Heaven", the higher physical chemistry is no longer "strange skills", but "the knowledge of the gods".

It was the first time for Liu Hun to enter the highest hall of this knowledge, and he was full of curiosity when he looked left and right. Liu Feng didn't care, pretending to be a fake idiot, and rubbed on Liu Bei.

The books here are densely packed, piled up with several bookshelves, the bookshelves stretch from the sky to the ceiling, and not far from the bookshelves is a huge curved table, which is full of books, a large pile of manuscript paper arranged in a fan, placed in the middle of the table, and on the cover of the manuscript paper is written several large characters "Genesis. Volume II".

Liu Hun's heart moved, he faintly heard that his father was annotating the memoir written by Frustration, this memoir uses the theme of the chronology, and was named "Genesis" by his father, and it is said that the first volume of the book has been published and is still very popular.

As a result of this frustration, it is now fashionable for Qingzhou to write memoirs,12 and many people have taken up the pen to praise their father and themselves. Countless people also asked their father to add an endorsement, and it is said that his father only agreed to Tian Feng alone. It seems that my father is hiding upstairs and is busy with this.

Putting down the work at hand, Liu Bei stretched his waist and asked Liu Hun: "The battle is over?" ”

Liu Hun crossed his hands and replied respectfully: "The Zhenrong disciples have been defeated repeatedly, and their people have nowhere to take refuge, so they rushed into the mountains and were beheaded by the Shanyue tribe, and their heads have been sent to Guangling to pay tribute to Mr. Zhao Yu." The bandit leader is destroyed, and it can be regarded as the perfect end of the pursuit of rape. ”

"How many casualties?"

"The Buddhists are not afraid of death, no, many times they are obviously here to send them to death, our army has suffered more casualties than imagined, more than 700 attendants have been killed, more than a dozen of the boy scouts have been killed, and thousands of people have been wounded."

"How much?"

Liu Hun was at a loss: "What harvest?" Hasn't the bandit leader been decapitated? ”

Liu Bei smiled faintly and shook his head gently: "Soldiers, murder weapons, have to do it as a last resort." What is a last resort, do you understand? War is a continuation of politics, and war has always been, and has always been, a tool for business expansion. The war fought to vent one's personal anger was the street brawls of the peasants, the ostentatious killing of the slave owners, and the stupid blind movements that wasted the country's strength.

What I want to ask you is: You have dispatched 10,000 young men and more than 1,000 scouts to fight for four or five months, spending millions on military expenditures and countless amounts of grain and grass. Then, you tell me that you are victorious. Excuse me, after the victory, did you gain the land? Or the population? Or is it the market? Or money? ”

Liu Hun straightened his chest and replied: "Father, we punished the unkind, taught the unbelievers, let the disloyal die, let the unrighteous die, we trained the boy scouts, let them feel brave from an early age, learn to use wisdom, we let the people of Qingzhou win respect outside Qingzhou, these, although my father can't buy them." ”

Liu Bei leaned heavily on the back of the chair and asked kindly, "Can't buy a daughter?" But is it too expensive for you to spend me millions of dollars and millions of dollars on this thing? You could have paid a hundred dollars for these things, or even had someone else pay for them, and you cost me millions of dollars. Of course, I can't blame you, it's your brother who doesn't know the difficulty of cropping, hmph, I'll slowly deduct this fee from his pocket money.

Well, although you have made meritorious contributions in the war, you are the commander of the army, have you never thought that war is a means of fighting for power, and governing the country must be taken care of, for example, the Shanyue tribe killed Zhenrong, how do you reward it? ”

Liu Feng interjected and said, "I rewarded some grain, rice, ironware, and cloth." ”

Liu Bei saw Liu Hun's trembling appearance, his heart suddenly softened, and he waved his hand and said, "Hun'er, don't be so restrained in front of father and son, you move a chair and sit down to talk." ”

Liu Hun found a chair, across the table, and sat opposite Liu Bei, Liu Feng saw that his father's expression was getting more and more stern, so he also moved a chair and sat opposite his father.

"What is the situation in the South? There is no obstacle to the movement of your troops, right? Liu Bei asked.

Liu Hun replied: "Not long after the Han people moved south, they only gathered around a few large towns. Outside the towns, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the Shanyue people crisscross the mountains and forests, Sun Quan can not govern, generally speaking, the south is still a wild realm, the troops have to walk for several days to see a town, but also to open the road in the mountains, meet the water to build bridges. It was precisely because of the large gap between the towns that our army traveled to and from the south without any hindrance. Qingzhou officials often served in Sun Quan's place, and our army went to the towns and villages to buy supplies, but there was no hindrance, on the contrary, many towns and villages welcomed us to barter. ”

Liu Bei had a smile on his face, but his words were like lightning and thunder that pry open Liu Hun's thinking: "Since Sun Quan can't control the Shanyue people, why do you reward the Shanyue people so lightly?" ”

Liu Hun opened his mouth and stammered: "Father's meaning ......"

"Since they helped us eliminate the enemies in Qingzhou, why don't we reward them for their military merits? Give them citizenship. ”

Liu Hun stammered, "Yes......, why didn't I think of it?" I've built so many roads and built so many bridges, and this is a golden trade route. If you give those Shanyue people citizenship, help them build cities, and appoint officials to manage them, isn't this what my father said about seizing the population! In this way, Sun Quan controls the southern point, and its vast mountains and forests are under our control, and we control the southern side. At that time, my father gave an order, and Sun Quan's fragile small cities would be overwhelmed by us. ”

Liu Bei glanced at Liu Feng, who was stunned, and then looked at Liu Hun, who was so excited that his face was red, and said with relief: "Hun'er, you are very smart, I don't have so much energy to control the so-called noodles now, I just want to bury a few thorns in the south." Lu'an is a thorn I have planted, but this is not enough, the port I go south must be secured. You turn around, go to the south again, reward the Shanyue people for me, and tell them that if they are willing to stay where they are, we will build a market and a dock fort, and they can rely on the dock fort to recuperate and trade; Those who are willing to relocate to live in big cities can move closer to the various ports, after this war, in terms of meritorious deeds, not only can they get the treatment of citizens, their relatives, can also get civilian treatment, tell the major port officials along the coast, don't pursue it too much, as long as those meritorious Shanyue people say that someone is his relative, then give him civilian rights, do not spend me a penny, get a large number of taxpayers, this is a good thing, let them despite a large number of special approval. ”

Looking at the excited faces of the two children, Liu Bei leisurely admonished: "Spending money is also an art, and a simple truth is: where the money is spent, where is good." The biggest headache for people is that half of the money is spent, and it is the most embarrassing to go up or down. After attacking the south and spending millions, you owe the money for the reward, the money you owe them for building the dock fort, and the money you spent before you went down the drain. Shame on wasting it. I'm going to have to make an additional investment. Hun'er, Feng'er, you two still need to learn more. ”

Liu Hun respectfully thanked his father-in-law for his teachings, blinked his eyes, and asked again: "Father, after the war, the first thing you asked about was the trade route, and the question was profit. Or do all good wars have benefits? ”

Liu Bei patted his thigh and replied excitedly: "My family has learned the art of governing the country, yes, all the wars that make the country strong and the people rich are for commercial interests." In the past, the Han military expedition to the Western Regions, ostensibly, was to resist the raids of the Xiongnu, but in fact, it was to open up the Silk Road to Great Qin. It's a pity that the truth of this history was later tampered with. Of course, the war launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty against Hungary finally showed off his military force and gained the upper hand, and the interests of commerce were not considered, which is why he finally wasted his national strength.

A business empire is the most expansive, and it comes alive as soon as there is a proper commercial profit. With fifty percent of the profits, it takes risks, leaves its homeland, wades through mountains and rivers, and seeks to grab it; For the sake of 100% profits, it dares to fight in the opposition and kill people; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even waging war and committing genocide against a country whose land area is much larger than its own.

Whenever the market under the jurisdiction of the business empire is saturated, the business empire will spontaneously expand outward in order to pursue more markets. Therefore, if the national strength is to be strong, the people want to be rich, and all industries want to prosper, we must respect the interests of commerce and adhere to the national foundation of valuing commerce. All political means are carried out for the purpose of business to expand the market, and war is the continuation of politics, and if the market cannot be opened with civilized language and negotiation, then we will use the sword and bow to pry the market open. Therefore, only a war in which benefits are gained is beneficial to the state. The means of war are varied, but the aim is only to conquer, to occupy, to dominate – and the ultimate goal is to open up the market.

Once the other party's market is opened, then it is necessary to support the country to carry out the second national policy: the strange lewd skills (technology) is the development force, and to occupy the market, we must ensure that we have enough goods, that is, the strange lewd skills. Use our tricks to plunder all their wealth from us and collapse their finances. When we fall, we are left with an empty shell of hostile forces, and we only need to push our little fingers lightly, and we will fall to the ground with a bang. This is the so-called: a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Having said all this, a thousand words boil down to one sentence, the existence of the army is to ensure the passage of our trade routes, to ensure that we can oppress the other side to open the market to us, and the purpose of all wars in the world is nothing more than this. ”

Whenever a commercial empire is saturated with a market within its borders, a government composed of merchants will consciously desire to open new markets, which is the expansiveness of the commercial empire. Powerful materiel and ordnance ensured the implementation of the expansion. Liu Bei painstakingly cultivated the Qingji Youyou and the four states for many years, and now, this business empire has shown its fangs, not long ago, Xuzhou was returned to its banner without spending a single soldier, which is the embodiment of commercial conquest. At present, the vigorous and huge business empire is swinging its teeth and claws towards the land of the Central Plains. And Liu Bei's request for a tripartite alliance in order to delineate the sphere of influence and the authority of the lord was the second time that this business empire showed its hideous appearance.

Liu Hun looked suddenly and said: "Father, those Confucian students you sent to Kyushu Island, such as Chen Lin, he often told me that you must cultivate benevolence and virtue within in order to be able to obey the four kings, the so-called inner saint and outer king." In addition, he said that the governance of the country should be based on agriculture, and the strange and promiscuous skills were exchanged for gold, silver, pearls and jade, and the gold, silver, pearls and jade could not be eaten and thirsted or drunk, but corrupted the folk customs and customs, so the merchants were untouchables. It's time to suppress business. Strange lewd skills are the foundation of the country. What my father said was completely different from them, and the foundation of governing the country was to reorganize the armament and armor, elevate the status of merchants, and also said that the strange and promiscuous skills were the power of development...... It turned out that my father knew that they were wrong, so he sent them to the Wa Kingdom, hum, that Chen Lin was full of nonsense, go back, I will kill him. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but ask curiously: "How are those Confucian scholars doing in the Wa Kingdom now?" ”

Liu Hun replied: "I see that they are all famous, and I dare not be contemptuous. The Japanese people did not have a written language, and they opened a museum to teach in the Japanese country, but they were quite respected by the Japanese people. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "Heroes, they taught these things to the Japanese people, and they really stabilized my great heroes, well, I will remember to remind me that I must secretly support them to run academies, so that they will spare no effort to give lectures in the Japanese country." Haha, gold, silver, pearls, and jade, hunger and thirst cannot be eaten, thirst and drink, but it corrupts the folk customs and customs - this is really a profound absurdity. Yes, gold, silver, and jade are hungry and cannot be eaten or drunk, but they don't know that gold, silver, and jade can buy food and water. As long as business is prosperous, they can buy these things at their own doorstep, do they really think that those hungry, thirsty, and drunk are naturally grown on the side of their own bed? Can you buy it without money?

I like Chen Lin, a good person, I have not forgotten my Han when I arrived in the Japanese Kingdom, and I have worked hard to disarm the Japanese State, and I am really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. It is not uncommon to teach them a mistake, and it is rare that he has systematically taught all the evils to the Japanese people. Well, since Hun Er is back, don't go back, I will send a group of Confucian students who committed crimes to the Japanese country, so that they can discipline the Japanese people well. Stay with me. ”

Immediately, Liu Bei asked uneasily: "How is the Wa Kingdom now?" ”

Liu Hun looked well-behaved: "Pure male Japanese people can almost only be found in remote mountainous areas, and the current Japanese people, male are the descendants of our Han army soldiers and Sanhan soldiers and Japanese students." ”

"The country is a big granary, a big bank, a big fishing ground, the country lacks iron, we want to build a good country into our agricultural base, the Central Plains disasters are frequent, it can be said that there are no disasters every year. Let that Wadao provide food for the people of the Central Plains. Liu Bei said, picked up the information of the Luoyang rebellion, and asked Liu Hun while telling Liu Feng to go home: "You take a look at this, and then, tell me what you think." ”
