Chapter 19: It's not plunder, it's kingization
Around dusk, Xiang Chi got on Luan and prepared to return to the imperial city.
Seeing the spacious Luan car, Yu Guang was sitting on the left side with some restraint, while Xiang Chi was looking through a secret fold sent by the Jinyi Guard.
After reading it for a while, Xiang Chi smiled coldly and threw it aside.
"Yu Guang," Xiang Chi shouted.
"Your Majesty"
"Shen Aiqing admires you very much, saying that if you have a chance, you will definitely be the first naval commander of my Wude Dynasty," Xiang Chi said with a smile.
|“ Lord Shen is too general, and he really doesn't dare to be the last general," Yu Guang immediately said modestly.
"Haha, the world is too big, and all kinds of problems emerge every day, either official corruption, or natural and man-made disasters, and even many royal relatives are also born and become more and more presumptuous, this is not! Jin Yiwei just got the news that the son of King Zhao of Youzhou, my cousin, robbed the people's daughters in broad daylight, beat the officials, and guarded Li Hao to assassinate the Shi Mansion, but we, the Youzhou Assassin Shi Fangtai, not only did not pay attention to it, but even sent someone to immediately reprimand it, and an innocent woman committed suicide by throwing herself into the well like this" Xiang Chi said coldly.
Yu Guang frowned, but in the end he was silent, he was a military general after all, and he was not good at talking about such things.
|“ What do you think should be done with this matter?" however, Xiang Chi asked directly.
Yu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, although the son of King Zhao is at fault, but after all, he is a royal family, and the minister does not dare to say much, but Youzhou assassinated Shi Fangtai, as a member of one party, a feudal official, he did not do it when he saw that he violated the law, and he was afraid of authority and concealed it, which was very hateful, and the minister felt that it should be dealt with strictly immediately, and it would not be tolerated."
Xiang Chi smiled, didn't say much, and said: "Listen to Xu Ping, you have no interest in my Dachu's infantry and cavalry, but you are very obsessed with the navy, right?" ”
"The minister is ashamed" Yu Guang hugged his fist.
"Can you tell me why? You must know that the navy army is not even one-fiftieth of my Great Chu army," Xiang Chi asked.
"Your Majesty, the navy is indeed inferior to my Great Chu's ironclad hero, Ranchen feels that the navy represents the future" Yu Guang suddenly said seriously.
|“ In the future," Xiang Chi's face showed a hint of expectation.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the main reason for the change of dynasty generally lies in three aspects, the first is foreign enemies, the second is internal strife, and the third: Yong Lord, today Your Majesty has re-set the education of the future emperor's heir, and the minister admires it very much, and the minister believes that if the future generations of kings can cultivate both civil and military, it will be extraordinary" Yu Guangdao.
"Haha, I can only say that three points of manpower and seven points of providence, let's talk about foreign enemies and internal strife," Xiang Chi said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the current foreign enemies of my Great Chu are nothing more than Beidi, Ximang, Nanyi, Goguryeo, Fulin and other countries, but since Taizu, after a hundred years, these forces, although they still have strength, but they cannot affect the rule of my Great Chu, if these places are either thousands of miles of yellow sand, or dense jungles, they have long been recovered by my Great Chu, so the foreign enemies can also be ignored for the time being, and Your Majesty has five metropolitan governors, guarding the east, west, north, south, and middle respectively, they can't afford to turn up any wind and waves" Yu Guang's eyes became more and more bright.
"So, your future is because of civil strife," Xiang Chi said.
"Really, but the civil strife that the minister said is by no means His Majesty's era, although His Majesty has just ascended the throne, but in the three years of the East Palace, the center of Wenzhang, the military government of the government, and more brocade clothes, medicine and other help, the minister is confident, Da Chu will only become stronger and stronger under the rule of His Majesty" Yu Guang admired.
Xiang Chi smiled lightly, "This sycophant is good, go on"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the civil strife actually comes from two aspects, the first natural disaster, the second man-made disaster, not to mention the natural disaster, but the man-made disasters of the dynasty are often because of land annexation" Yu Guang said solemnly.
"This I am naturally very clear, but you also know that throughout the ages, many great sages have carried out reforms in response to this, which often not only did not work, but the world became even more chaotic" Xiang Chi frowned.
"Your Majesty, because people have a system, there must be a difference between the upper and lower, some people work hard, and some people are lazy, so the gap between the rich and the poor will get bigger and bigger, until the poor people can't live anymore, and can only rebel all the way"
"Yes, but if the land is redivided, it will make the large and small families of Da Chu afraid, if they move, it will be much more terrifying than ordinary people," Xiang Chi said solemnly.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, so in addition to the gradual reform, it is also necessary to open source, and to manage it under both sides, so as to ensure that my Great Chu will be passed on for generations," Yu Guang said.
"What do you mean, to go out with a naval army and bring all the overseas countries into my Dachu," Xiang Chi asked.
"Really, Your Majesty, the minister has consulted the ancient and modern classics, the sea is definitely a treasure house, except for the Baozhou that is already in the hands of my Great Chu, the cherry blossom country, the capital of heaven, the department, and the western country, all of which are vast land, if they can be occupied, they can support tens of millions of people, which will continue for my Great Chu for a hundred years, or even a thousand years of national fortune" Yu Guang said excitedly.
"Haha" Xiang Chi laughed loudly, as a crosser, he naturally knows this truth, that Britain, which has such a narrow land area, has become the world's first power by colonizing the world, if it were not for the outbreak of the two world wars, how could it be the later M country.
After laughing, Xiang Chi said seriously: "But, have you ever thought that the ocean is not like the land, and sometimes you have been flooded by big waves before you get close to these countries?"
"The minister understands, but Your Majesty, if you don't actively prepare and open up the line in the prosperous era, how can it be possible in the future, difficulties are not a problem, fear of difficulties is a crisis" Yu Guang said firmly.
Xiang Chi pondered slightly, and said, "Yu Guang, the so-called belligerent will die, have you ever considered this aspect?"
"Your Majesty, the belligerent will perish, but after the war, except for a victory, but there is no real benefit, not only does the court not get help, but the treasury is empty, the people are poor, and overseas, it is indeed not like this, it is plunder, with the territory and wealth of other countries, to prosper my great Chu!" Yu Guang hurriedly said.
Xiang Chi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yu Guang carefully, and said with some exclamation: "Your kid looks elegant, how can you have such a robber behavior, if it is those great Confucians, they will definitely tell me that they must serve the world with benevolence and virtue."
"Your Majesty, this is the words of a scholar, in addition, Your Majesty, didn't you say it yourself, there is only one goal of war, and that is profit," Yu Guang said in a low voice.
Xiang Chi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately scolded: "Bastard"
"The minister is guilty," Yu Guang hurriedly bowed his head and said.
"Xu Ping, this kid, his mouth is getting looser and looser, if these words come out, those literati and writers will not compare me to a belligerent tyrant," Xiang Chi said.
"Your Majesty, it's not Governor Xu, it's Governor Xiao, what the ministers occasionally hear" Yu Guang explained slightly.
Xiang Chi was stunned for a moment, then coughed embarrassedly, and said: "I'll talk about these later, but you can study it, whatever you need, I can give it to you, but you remember, it's not passing by, it's Wanghua, Da Chu is Wanghua other countries, it's bringing them into the world of civilization, understand?" ”
"Understood, Wang Hua, Wang Hua" Yu Guang immediately admired.
"That's right, originally I wanted you to go to Baozhou, but after chatting with you for so long today, I was a little reluctant and a little worried" Xiang Chi said a little entangled, and after a chat today, he found that Yu Guang is not only a general, but also a handsome talent who can expand the territory.
