Chapter 73: The Talent of the World
He has traveled to many countries and seen many kings, but he does not have such ability, and he said from the bottom of his heart that he admires the emperor in front of him from the bottom of his heart, so he can't wait to come today.
Lin Feng is not an actor, and his acting skills are really despicable, he couldn't stand Situ's wordless response, so he woke up when he turned over, sighed, rubbed his eyes, and said with a look of guilt: "Recently, I have been working state affairs, I am really tired, I wanted to take a nap, but I fell asleep, Mr. Yaliang, don't mind." ”
Situ was still dressed in gray, with a little smile on his face, and he didn't break Lin Feng's disguise, and said: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and the Yan Kingdom is thriving, so it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer." ”
Lin Feng chuckled embarrassedly, An Heng took the tea, drank half of it, and stared at Situ Dao: "Listening to Mr. that day, I will never forget Mr., see you again today, I am really happy in my heart." On that day, Mr. said that he only told Emperor Yan about his own strategy of governing the country, and at this moment, I respectfully asked, Mr. Don't hide your secrets today! ”
Situ chuckled faintly, but he looked a little obscene, not suitable for his less than thirty years old, like a hooligan on a street corner. He didn't expect that the person who chased him on the street that day was actually the little emperor of Yan Kingdom.
Although there is a regret of missing out at the moment, you can personally verify the changes that have taken place under the new policy of Yan Guo, from the court to the people, and it is also more and more consistent with Lin Feng's approach, which has the meaning of seeing each other late.
took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said ashamedly: "The emperor is eloquent and strategic, and a series of new laws were implemented a few years ago, which made Yan Kingdom seem to be a dead tree in a short period of time, and regained its vitality. ”
These words, if they came from someone else's mouth, Lin Feng might believe it, but he had seen Situ Caixue before, Lin Feng didn't believe it, if he didn't dare to sacrifice his ugliness, why did he come to Yan Kingdom and enter the palace again. Sigh secretly, you have to pay attention to proportions if you are modest, since you are here, you can't say it without revealing a few drops of ink.
Situ didn't reveal it, but Lin Feng began to take the initiative to ask, tilted his head, looked melancholy, glanced at Situ and said: "Mr. Situ, I have encountered a tricky matter recently, which has made me panic and uneasy, Mr. is talented, can you help me analyze and analyze." ”
Since Situ didn't want to talk about governing the country, Lin Feng had no choice but to change the topic and ask him about Yan Guo and Zheng Guo, and deduce the other party's thoughts and talents from it.
"Your Majesty, please speak, Situ will try his best to solve problems for the emperor." Situ's expression was light, his eyes were calm like water, and he looked like he was holding the chance to win, which made people can't see what he was thinking.
Lin Feng basically told the matter of the disagreement between Yan Guo and Zheng Guo, and then tilted his head and asked, "After hearing this, Mr. thinks that Yan Guo's move is correct, and what are Zheng Guo's plans?" ”
"It's long overdue!" Situ spit out four words, and his words were very supportive of Lin Feng's actions.
Lin Feng was puzzled, frowned and asked, "Why is this so, Mr. Fei expected that the Yan Kingdom would send troops in advance?" ”
Situ shook his head with a smile, and said: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, how can I guess the holy will in Xia, but before I came to Yan Kingdom, I saw a steady stream of horses on the official road, escorting food and wine through the country, and there were cavalry escorts. I guessed that the new wine and new salt came from the official Yan State, and this move seemed to be competing for interests with Zheng Guo.
Second, Zheng Guo has changed the law for 30 years and has made remarkable achievements, and urgently needs a war to transform economic and political advantages into military advantages.
However, if Your Majesty wants to compete for hegemony and strength, you need to hold a knife in one hand and money in the other, without the support of the gate lord clan, it is risky to compete for interests with Zheng Guo, but you must also take risks, and now, Your Majesty sent troops south, as if to show Zheng Guo that Yan Guo is not afraid of war, not afraid of war. ”
"In addition, from the geographical location, Gyeongju is the southern gateway of Yanguo, the wall is high and thick, grasp in the hand, if the Zheng army attacks, it will take a lot of effort, but if the city of Gyeongju is lost, Zheng Guotie cavalry, all the way north, a few days can pass through the county, arrive at Yanjing City. Now His Majesty is sending heavy troops south, which is in the interests of Yan State. ”
Lin Feng listened to Situ's analysis, and was quite satisfied in his heart, when he sent Bai Yisheng to lead the troops, he was to protect the interests of Yan State, but he did not consider the importance of Gyeongju to Zheng Guo at that time.
However, Situ continued: "I thought that His Majesty sent troops to Gyeongju with the purpose of holding a sword in one hand and money in the other, trying to strengthen the Yan Kingdom in a peaceful environment, but what Your Majesty has done at present is far from enough. ”
Holding a knife in one hand and money in the other, this was exactly what Lin Feng thought, long before the Yan Kingdom began to strengthen, Lin Feng had already deeply understood this truth. But I didn't expect that Situ also understood this truth, it was really clear!
But Situ said that there were shortcomings, obviously, Lin Feng should be lacking in some aspects. Curiously asked, "Sir, you might as well say it directly, Lin Feng is willing to hear about it!" ”
Situ smiled, with a little obscenity, a little shrewdness, and said: "I see that Your Majesty has sorted out the court a year ago, promulgated new laws, recruited new soldiers, and promoted generals. In the next thought, His Majesty's approach is indeed good, but what His Majesty has done is mostly for long-term considerations, if Yan Guo wants to rise in three or five years, His Majesty only needs to grasp four things, and he will be able to be invincible for a long time. ”
"What four?"
"The hearts of the people, the law, the land, the army." Situ spit out eight words and explained: "The ancient language, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, at present, Your Majesty has promulgated a lot of measures to benefit the people, if you want to consolidate and continue, you must establish a complete law and order, focusing on governing the country." With the law, it is equivalent to having a framework, not only restricting small merchants and hawkers from daring to risk their lives, but also the gate lords of the scholar clan dare not offend, even if the gate lords want to rely on financial resources to disrupt the economy of Yan in the future, they must also consider the laws of Yan State.
Second, the most profitable place in Yan Country at present is the Luoma City in each state and county, and His Majesty has ordered the state and county governments to control it, and the future business potential is unlimited. However, the land of Yan is poor, the grain production is extremely low, and the people pay grain every year, which is not enough to feed the army, not to mention, the brewing is a waste of food, so if Your Majesty increases the taxes of the people, or buys domestic grain, it will not lose the hearts of the people.
Now, in order to make new wine, His Majesty purchased grain from the Song State on a large scale, which did alleviate the urgent need, but it was not a long-term solution.
For today's plan, you can look to the east, although the Jin State is also located in the north, but it has a lot of fertile land, not to mention the southern Jin grain production area, just to capture the west of Jin, Fengzhou, Fenzhou, is enough to have sufficient grain production area.
Third, His Majesty trained the new army and won a big victory in the north, but the Rong people are nomadic and often haunted, but Zheng and Zhao are different, once the war starts, it will be a protracted war, so His Majesty must dare to fight, be able to fight hard, and not be afraid of war. In this way, no matter what country it fights with in the future, Yan can be invincible. ”
The more Lin Feng listened, the more interested he became, this Situ speech really opened his eyes, and he had the feeling that listening to your words was better than reading a book for ten years. He had a lot of calculations in his heart, but he couldn't be as detailed and comprehensive as Situ.
Secretly writing down Situ's words, Lin Feng asked tentatively: "Sir is powerful, worthy of being an immortal genius, I am lacking a person like Mr., I don't know if Mr. can stay in Yan Kingdom, revive Yan Kingdom with me, and verify the unity of the nations." ”
Situ has traveled around the world since he was eighteen years old, lobbying the monarchs of various countries, but with little success, and has been belittled as an unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial person, and when talking to Lin Feng, he did not see or hear the slightest contempt in the other party's look and words, on the contrary, the other party respected him well.
Situ was secretly happy in his heart, but said quietly: "Your Majesty, I have traveled all over the world, I have been to many countries, and I have made suggestions to no less than ten kings, but all of them are ready to be expelled, Your Majesty wants to know the reason?" ”
"I don't understand, but I can guess that it must be that Mr.'s concept is not in line with the other party's concept of governing the country, if I adopt Mr.'s suggestion, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar in the country, those kings are afraid of the opposition forces, and don't dare to come up with iron-blooded means, I think it should be so." Lin Feng couldn't guess the reason, but he could probably understand it.
Situ was a little stunned, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to be able to guess what happened to him, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart, and said: "It's true, there are only three points in the idea of governing the country under the country, but there are three points that involve a lot of interests, and the monarch who has no great courage and great deeds really dare not adopt it." ”
"Can you tell me about it?" Lin Feng was curious, ignoring Situ's sarcasm, and asked again.
A paranoid person like Situ, who has the talent to help the country in the world, has been depressed for a long time, and it stands to reason that it should not be, but things happen unreliable.
Situ glanced up at Lin Feng and said in a slightly deep voice, "Of course, Your Majesty wants to hear it, I am very honored." In the past, whenever someone heard his name, don't say that they were patient to listen to his reasoning, many people simply avoided it, and Lin Fengdi's attitude made him feel like he was late to see him.
After that, Situ did not reserve it, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, in order to rejuvenate the country, we must do the following three things: first, according to the right path, according to the will of heaven, in accordance with the geographical advantages, in line with the will of the people, set up laws and orders, and re-enforce the law.
Second, as an emperor, we must make the government and the opposition be prepared for danger in times of peace, think of it, be prepared, dare to use this rule, and always have the idea of thinking of danger, so as to be vigilant and prevent disasters.
Third, the government and the opposition are in harmony, the power is changed, the rewards and punishments for the courtiers are clear, and the virtuous are enabled. Reward the people with agriculture and mulberry, and give light to the meager endowment. Break the door valve of the upper grade without cold door and the lower grade without the gentleman family, not based on the grade, door rank, and qualifications.
At present, His Majesty has done it, and in some respects it is beyond expectations, and now, in front of His Majesty, Situ really does not dare to get an axe. ”
Situdi's policy of governing the country seems simple, but it includes three aspects: governing the people, governing the ministers, and governing the monarch.
