Chapter 363: The Scramble (13)
At this moment, Ge Shuhan understood why the Son of Heaven loved him, the arrogance and vigor of the young man would make people can't help but think of what he looked like when he was young, and he couldn't help but think, if he was in his position, what step could he do?
Liu Ji's self-confidence has a solid foundation, and no one will doubt whether he is talking big, Ge Shuhan took the wine cup and turned his fingers, and said in a calm tone.
"Ah Yao told me about your plan, this is also a certain concern, Broken Leaf is a place of four battles, guarding the main road in the river, those Sogdians will watch you choke their throats? Don't forget that behind them, there are also big cannibals. ”
"It's not a throat land, I don't want it yet, the Sogdians founded their country by business, sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food, I don't know how much benefit they have earned, let them spit out a little, they should have a share, if the Great Cannibal is willing to take a chestnut for them, they called as early as the year before last, why wait until now? I don't believe it, they dare to do it to the Tang Dynasty at this time, you must know that the broken leaves are for them, and they are not stingy with Talas, if they really dare to come, Liu can't ask for it. ”
This is the benefit of being familiar with history, after the battle of Talas, the big cannibals stopped at the edge of the river, and even the countries in the river were not fully digested, not to be true, but not to be true, the governor of Khorasan Qu Dibo and the end of the sword guard Qi Yad guarded each other, and soon there will be a sword and soldier to meet, this is simply an excellent opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to re-enter the west of the Green Ridge, but unfortunately it was delayed by the dead fat man in history, which is the real reason why Liu Ji spared no effort to kill him.
"The political hall has different opinions, because of the uneven interests, everyone just wants to eat meat, but they don't know that there are thorns in the meat, and they are not afraid of flashing their tongues and cutting their throats, not to mention, I have Broken Leaf Town, which can bring 10 million benefits every year, and the palace has only 1 million yuan, for this million yuan, the Supreme will inevitably stand on my side, may I ask the king of the county, looking at the court, who else dares to speak? The one you have in mind, do you dare? ”
It was these words that made a certain person have to be cautious, do you know how much shock these words caused in Beijing? In the palace, the princes and magnates, and the ministers and ministers all have a share of the profits, once you can't do it, what will they do to you? ”
What can they do with Lao Tzu? Liu Ji sneered in his heart, but said on his lips.
"Just 10 million yuan, just scared Geshu Xiangguo?"
"You said it lightly, do you know how much Datang earns a year?"
"That's because you don't know how to operate, the country wants to be rich and strong, not relying on that idea of heads, land rents, salt and iron tea monopoly, picking and picking ropes is also easy to cause civil unrest, not to mention, in this capital, the granary is old and rice accumulating, moldy and rotten, the money treasury is piled up, and even the tether is rotten, otherwise, it is not enough to show the wealth of the country, right?"
"But in my opinion, the tens of thousands of shops in the east and west cities, the dotted shopfronts in one hundred and eight squares, and the peddlers and pawns who go back and forth on the sixteenth street are the symbols of the vitality of this country, and the greatest role of the court is not to restrict or refute, but to create better conditions for them.
Ge Shuhan had been overwhelmed by his remarks more than once, and when he heard this, he was still stunned, not because of the size and difficulty of the plan, but because of the brain hole of this son, which seemed to be unusual at all.
"It's difficult, right, but if you don't even dare to think about it, I don't have a chance to take some cities at all, the imperial court uses 100,000 troops and tens of millions of stone grain to defend Luo, it's better to build a road, this road will connect all the tribes along the way, and the benefits they get are enough to abandon all the past festivals and firmly unite around the Tang Dynasty, Tubo people? Either melt in, or be beaten by countless enemies and disappear into the long river of history, there is no second end. ”
"The rich people in the world, one is Tianzhu, the other is the big food, the Tang Dynasty trades with them, the benefits brought by it, it is unimaginable, with the drive of interests, it is not a dangerous road outside the moraine, Guanzhong is already overcrowded, but another can abandon and flee, and do not want to go out, just can't see this, Geshu Xiangguo, these interests can not only be in the hands of the magnates of the Gaomen clan, so that the rich are rich, but should benefit more ordinary people, they have savings to form a larger consumer market, if the court is only for the high gate, What are the benefits to the country if you don't bring a penny of income? ”
Ge Shuhan's knowledge is not high, Liu Ji can only explain to him in the most simple language, as for whether he can understand it, how much he can listen to it is unknown, after all, the thinking of this era is still stuck in the thinking of small peasants, and it is the safest way to imprison the people on the land.
In fact, the fundamental reason for the collapse of the government military system is that the Juntian system has been destroyed, and the Juntian system cannot be implemented, not because of annexation, but because the land in Guanzhong is no longer enough, the population of the Tang Dynasty in the Tianbao period is about 5,500, just a Guanzhong plus Helong is about 15 million, such a large population density, but it corresponds to less than one-tenth of the country's acres, where can it be done at the beginning of the founding of the country, a Ding grant 100 acres of land, a year to pay two times, but according to the law, even if the land is insufficient, The annual payment will still not be less, not to mention, the people also have to bear the burden of servitude, military service, therefore, can not survive can only abandon the land and flee, only in the twenty-fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, responsible for the household and the degree of the branch of Shangshu Yu Wenrong, once from the states and counties to find out 600,000 households, more than 2 million Dingkou, it is this verification, which eventually led to the demise of the government military system, replaced by the conscription system, and the sequelae of the conscription system is that the country's various festivals and towns, from the military department unified dispatch of soldiers and horses, into local recruitment, This caused the three towns in the north to be too big to fall, which further fueled An Lushan's ambitions.
Now it makes no sense to say this, Liu Ji doesn't discuss the way of a rich country with him, and he doesn't even care if he will support Broken Leaf Lizhen, just in the other party's surprised eyes, he said another question that made his heart beat.
"I heard that Xiangguo and Absi have an old relationship, can you fix a book, maybe you can use it in the future?"
"You want to recruit him? The Supreme is afraid that he will not agree. ”
"Even if he deserves to die, he shouldn't be dealt with with with tens of thousands of people in the Luo Department, these people were born and died for the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for An Hu'er's coercion, how could he go out of the pass, your words, he might listen to it, I will take it out at the right time, if Xiangguo is worried that there will be a head and an end, the wording might as well be harsh, okay?"
Ge Shuhan was indeed a little hesitant, sitting in his position, it is very easy to be attacked if he has anything to do with a traitor, but Liu Ji's words reminded him of the mountain of corpses under the stone castle city, and Absi's disappointment in Datang is likely to start from that time, and he is the one who started it.
In the end, the hidden compassion in his heart still overcame everything, he picked up a pot of wine and poured it down, wiped his mouth with his sleeve casually, nodded and said.
"Okay, so-and-so promised you."
"The last general thanked Xiangguo." Liu Ji stood up and arched his hand and said: "The king of the county is now in the center, and he bears the hope of the world, so he still needs to take care of his body, and he can't ...... anymore Overworked. ”
He didn't say the word "overeating" in the end, because he had no position, and it was easy to cause disgust, and some things could not be changed by hard work.
