"Jiangnan is a treasure land with unlimited potential; The imperial court does not pay enough attention to it and does not know much! Du Ru said a few words concisely, and in one sentence broke the value of Jiangnan and the attitude of the court.

The per capita grain payment in Jiangnan is the sum of the top five, if it can be said to be a coincidence, but every year, it is enough to show its value.

Li Shimin couldn't put it down, took the rice paper, looked at it and looked at it! Very touched: "Good guy! A word is worth a word! ”

"That's the beauty of statistics! How is it? Is Your Majesty tempted? ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Heartbeat, heart must be moved." I've made your blood boil and you want to move when you 'say' this piece of paper! I can't wait to develop Jiangnan. ”

"The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step; If you take too big a step, it's easy to pull the egg, and it hurts! ”

Luo Tong didn't say this through his brain, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that there was a princess of Changle!

"Poof" Li Shimin couldn't hold back for a while, and burst out laughing.

Fang Xuanling stood up with a smile, his face trembling as if he had been twitched!

Du Ruhui's face was purple, this was not angry, but suffocated.

He wanted to laugh, but because of his identity, he forced himself not to laugh, and it turned out to be like this.

Princess Changle on the other side was practicing calligraphy, and when she heard Luo Tong's words, her two big eyes turned around cutely, and she asked crisply: "What did Luo Gongzi say about chickens and ducks laying eggs?" ”

"Poof!" Fang Xuanling couldn't hold back either, and squirted out.

Luo Tong wanted to cry without tears, and Li Shimin was full of embarrassment.

"That's swearing!" Li Shimin glared at Luo Tong viciously.

"Oh!" Princess Changle opened her beautiful eyes, but she didn't understand how this was a sore egg and how it was a swearing word.

Fang Xuanling coughed lightly and said, "Although this is a bit of a word, the truth is not coarse!" ”

"Because of his eagerness for quick success, Yang Guangcai played the Sui Dynasty to death. Now the world is abusing Yang Guang and degrading Yang Guang as worthless. But Yang Guang is by no means a good-for-nothing person. ”

"Help Yang Guang speak! You're a coward! Aren't you afraid to punish your sins? Li Shimin glared at Luo Tong!

"I don't dare to speak out against Shang Dujun, but I'm really not afraid to tell the truth in the face of Your Majesty." Luo Tong sneered: "In the past thousands of years, the most powerful and famous emperor is none other than Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but the first emperor made Zhao Gao's sycophants impossible to find the north, and Emperor Wu of Han is even more so, he raised many courtiers, which is almost a problem unique to all superiors!" But isn't the establishment of His Majesty's unique position to tell the truth? So, you better take back this pretended angry face. ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard it, his heart was comfortable, Niu B coaxed, and he looked like everyone in the world was drunk and he was the only one who was awake: "Hmm...... That's true, this person really can't listen to too many compliments, especially me. But as an emperor, it is inevitable to be praised in every way, and here we must have the wisdom to distinguish right from wrong, and we must not lose our nature for these compliments, and only in this way can we make the most rational and correct decisions at a critical time. I asked myself if I was okay on this, I did a good job! It is indeed a little stronger than the Qin Emperor and Han Wu! ”

The corners of Luo Tong's mouth twitched, I have seen narcissism, but I have never seen how narcissistic!

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, both of them did not speak, they are a rare hero, and they are worth paying for him. But there is one thing that the two of them can't accept from beginning to end: they are very narcissistic, and they will praise themselves from time to time, making them all blush, but the person concerned looks complacent.

"Yang Guang's ability is not bad, but he doesn't see the essence of the world. After the great turmoil of the previous dynasty, the people were determined. Emperor Wen Yang Jian was extremely good at accumulating money, and although the treasury was abundant, it was a typical example of the country's wealth and the weakness of the people. In the face of such a situation, as the king of a country, the first thing to do is to make the people rich. But Yang Guang was too ambitious and ambitious, so he directly named his year 'Great Cause', intending to achieve a great cause. It's a pity that they are so ambitious, not only do they not govern the country well, but also make the people rich. On the contrary, the continuous squeezing of the people's power directly led to the demise of the Great Sui Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui listened carefully, although they were not quiet, they agreed with Luo Tong's words very much.

In all fairness, Yang Guang does have extraordinary intelligence and courage, and everything he does is impeccable in terms of morality.

In order to better control North China, he built the eastern capital of Luoyang; In order to make the connection between Jiangnan and China closer, the North-South Grand Canal was dug and the Jiangdu was toured several times; In the construction of national infrastructure, he dug long trenches, built gallop roads, and built the Great Wall; In terms of military strategy, he went out to the north to tour the Turks, fought to Linyi in the south, and passed through the Western Regions to the west, reopened the Silk Road, broke through Tuyuhun, and reincorporated Qinghai Province into the Chinese territory. He also sent envoys to Persia, and also crossed the sea to the South Seas to contact Fuso.

To elaborate on this achievement, Emperor Qin and Han Wu are nothing more than that.

But there is a detail that must be understood: Qin has a century-old foundation, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, most of the Qin kings of the past dynasties are eloquent and strategic, and the only inferior and incompetent one is that there is a Xiangguo like Lü Buwei to control the government, and the national strength is far stronger than that of the Six Kingdoms. Even so, it took Qin Shi Huang a full decade to dominate the world. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has the savings left by Wenjing, he began to lure the Xiongnu in Mayi in the second year of Yuanguang until Wei Qing went out of the fortress to kill Zhao Xincheng, Huo Quai, sealed the wolf Juxu Mountain, a total of 14 years.

And what about Yang Guang? It only took eight years for Renshou to show his strength in the fourth year of Renshou and to complete all these great undertakings.

Later historians recorded that in the eight years before the crusade against Goguryeo, Yang Guang set a total of 22 grand projects and requisitioned more than 30 million manpower.

30 million manpower, what a terrible number, you must know that the number of people at the peak of the Sui Dynasty was only 46 million.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, was completed in ten months, and the Yongji Canal was opened, and the canals of thousands of miles from the north and south of the Grand Canal were opened in a few months.

This era is not the 21st century, there are not so many advanced technologies, and all large-scale projects have to be completed by manpower and the weak bodies of ordinary people.

The faster the progress of the project, the greater the consumption of manpower: when the Eastern Capital was built, two million people were commissioned every month, and four or five out of ten of the dead were killed, and the Great Cause made one million people to repair the Great Wall in three years, and the result was also five or six out of ten. Digging canals, migrant workers work underwater for a long time, and maggots grow out of the blisters around their waists and burrow into their bodies.

Yang Guang only has his own great achievements in his eyes, and he can understand the suffering of the people!

This can also explain why the people of the Sui Dynasty cut off their hands and feet in order to escape the terrible service, and happily called their severed hands and feet Fushou Fuzu. What a miserable thing it was, and in the face of such a miserable situation, the people laughed so much that they would not have to serve in conscription if they were crippled.

Whether it is the construction of the Great Wall, the construction of the eastern capital, or the excavation of the canal, it is a virtuous government that is beneficial to the great cause of the millennium, but these virtuous policies are forcibly completed by officials who use whips and knives to force the people to work regardless of life and death, and step on the corpses that are strewn all over the field.

This so-called "political virtue" is really tyranny.

The world died in service.

This was a crucial point in the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and there was no doubt about the conquest of Goguryeo. The people were already struggling to make a living, and Yang Guang set his sights on expanding the territory to fight Goguryeo......

In the face of Yang Guang's toss, the Sui Dynasty was haunted.

In fact, in terms of the legacy left by Yang Jian to Yang Guang, even if he is a mediocre master, he can maintain the national fortune of the Sui Dynasty by virtue of his inheritance. But Yang Guang is not a mediocre master, and if the mediocre lord dies, he will do nothing, but the tyrant can unrealistically use the people's power for his own ambitions. So much so that the rich second generation, who has the most abundant wealth, has completely failed him in just a few decades.

The gigantic empire II died.

"You're right, there is only one step at a time to develop Jiangnan, and the step is too big, easy, and easy to fail."

Li Shimin suddenly woke up to the fact that Luo Tong was taking history as a mirror and tactfully persuaded himself not to rush for quick success and repeat the mistakes of the past.

Luo Tong felt that the development of Jiangnan was necessary, but it needed to be gradual, just like running a marathon. No one can run to the finish line in one sitting, taking their time. Develop some every year, and one year after another, you will be able to discover the benefits of Gangnam's existence. At that time, there will be a fierce medicine, and Jiangnan can present the prosperity of later generations due to the unique conditions of the congenital nature.

But after Li Shimin looked at the data, he behaved very excessively, and Luo Tong knew that Li Shimin was a guy who was very happy, for fear that he would listen to his words, and he would go all out to develop the south of the Yangtze River in a hurry, so as to end up like Yang Guang.

At this time, it is also necessary to give him a little bit. Originally, with Li Shimin's mind and accepting attitude, he bluntly said that he would accept it, and it would not be good. But be tactful and save some face for him, the effect will be better, and you can also get certain benefits.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also knew Luo Tong's intentions, and couldn't help but smile, compared to Wei Zheng's straightforward admonition, Luo Tong's way of saving the country is undoubtedly better, and the effect will be greater.

They were also worried about Li Shimin's impulsive all-out development of Jiangnan just now, but they couldn't think of persuasion for a while to let Luo Tong take the lead, and now that the goal has arrived, they don't need to show their existence.

Li Shimin said reluctantly: "I didn't know before!" Now I know I can do it, but I can't do it! It's infuriating! ”

Luo Tong was very surprised when he saw Li Shimin's childish appearance! But he was soon relieved, although this guy is the emperor, he is actually about thirty years old, and it is normal to behave like this.

It's just that there seems to be a slight deviation in history, resulting in Li Shimin's children being much older than history, and there are more fictional characters in romance novels, I don't know anything else, but at least Luo Tong himself and Qin Huaiyu are an accident, and there is nothing abnormal in the general direction.

Li Shimin muttered, and when he saw Fang Du, he had to think about it, but Luo Tong, the initiator, looked like he was flying out of the sky, and suddenly said angrily: "Good boy, it is you who give me hope, and you are also the one who makes me desperate." What is the intention? Say! ”

Luo Tong said with a smile: "The relisting of this set of data is just that Your Majesty realizes the value of Jiangnan and cannot develop it, so you can make preparations before development!" ”

"How to prepare?" Fang Xuanling saw that Luo Tong seemed to have a belly case, so he simply didn't want to think about it!

"Send officials to collect the inherent conditions of the people, folk customs, habits, hydrology, climate, temperature, landform, and landform in the south of the Yangtze River, and then use it to discuss, and formulate a development plan in advance, and when the time is ripe, it can be used immediately, and the preliminary preparation can avoid unnecessary troubles and losses for future development!"

"Folk habits are the key, and there is no room for error! Once it is sloppy, there is a possibility of civil unrest at the time of development. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Not really, right?" ”

"That's it!"

Luo Tong understands too well the dangers of religious disputes and ethnic struggles. The Middle East has been torn out of war all year round, and although it is a conflict of interests, conflicts over ethnic and religious habits are also the main line. Although he knew that the Chinese nation would not happen, it was still necessary to prevent it before it happened!

"I remember that there is a proverb that 'a hundred miles are different', which means that a hundred miles away, the customs and habits of the people and folk beliefs are different, and even more, the beliefs of the two places are diametrically opposed, and it is not uncommon for clan conflicts and bloodshed to be brought about."

"In many places, there are incidents of fighting, which are caused by faith." Du Ruhui agreed with this statement, Shangshu Province is in charge of the six departments, and the Criminal Department is within his jurisdiction, Luo Tong said that there are countless such cases, and it is difficult to make a conclusion about who is who, and the harm is great and the difficulty of handling it is deeply understood.

"Take the burial method, for example! The North believes in burial, but in some parts of the South, burial is considered to be the burial method of the most heinous people, and the virtuous and respectable enjoy the treatment of water burial, if a northerner happens to come across a corpse that flows down the river and buries it out of kindness, I am sure that the northerner will die an ugly death. The relatives of the northerners must be unhappy, so they will naturally kill them, and as a result, things are getting worse and worse. In the face of this kind of case, if His Majesty is the magistrate, who do you say is right and wrong, who is right and who is wrong? ”

"This ......" Li Shimin didn't know how to answer!

"The northerner is well-intentioned, and he is naturally justified!" Princess Changle suddenly said.

"But in the eyes of the locals, that good Samaritan defiled their faith, insulted their spirits, and was a heinous and unforgivable crime, and his crime deserved!" Seeing that Princess Changle couldn't answer, she said: "The magistrate's government can't judge, and it can't be judged if it doesn't work!" No matter how the verdict is made, one party is not convinced, and as a result, people will say that the government is unfair! The result of handling several such cases is that the government has lost the popularity of the people and has lost the support of the people, and the results can be imagined! A mere land of hundreds of miles, a mere way to bury the dead, and such a hidden danger is buried, a huge Jiangnan, there are millions of hundreds of miles, and there are tens of millions of beliefs among them, if you don't understand it in advance, it may be tens of millions of irreconcilable conflicts. Eventually, there is a high risk that the political government will turn into tyranny. Your Majesty, it is imperative to develop the south of the Great River, but it is also an unprecedented war without cigarettes! In comparison, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass has become a children's fight. If we don't even know the likes and dislikes of the 'enemy', we will rashly declare war, and the consequences are terrible! Compared to development, preparation is the most important thing! Don't be sloppy, careless, and underestimated! ”

The words of the morning bell and the drums of the dusk constantly hit Li Shimin's heart.

Luo Tong's sharp words seemed to let him see the second Wei Heizi, but it was also an exhortation, and Luo Tong's language art was very different from the straightforward Wei Heizi.

Every sentence is about ordinary things, but through facts, it hits the deepest part of Li Shimin's soul, making him confused, making him doubtful, and making him reflect.

From disdain to attention, from attention to understanding, from understanding to vigilance, from vigilance to fear...... Li Shimin's mood was like a roller coaster, he patted Luo Tong's shoulder deeply, and said with emotion: "I understand what you said, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, in addition to being sloppy, careless, and underestimated, there is also urgency and optimism...... It's that I'm too short-sighted. ”

Luo Tong admired in his heart! Li Shimin confessed his mistake to a child with the dignity of an emperor, this mind really has nothing to say!

Silent for a while!

"The two secretaries of the family, later ordered Jiangnan, no, no, not just Jiangnan, but all the provinces in the world, and the county officials immediately revised the county chronicles. I gave them a year to compile a local catalogue that included major elements such as folk customs, folk customs, habits, hydrology, climate, temperature, landform, and landform! It must be sound, it must be true! Otherwise, he will be punished for the crime of deceit! ”

"Whoa!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui responded solemnly.
