When I was a child, when I watched Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and bronze teeth, I always felt that He Er was a big corrupt official and a big traitor, but when I grew up, I found that He Er was the real "use" minister.

When the treasury ran out of silver, Ji Xiaolan arrested corrupt officials everywhere, always thinking of using the money of corrupt officials to fill the treasury, in fact, in Liu Xu's view, this is a real manifestation of incompetence, if a country only relies on this to stabilize the treasury, then what kind of world is this world? The money of the state is not as much as that of a courtier, so what kind of country is it? Heer is greedy a lot, but he can make the Internal Affairs Office have a balance of silver every year, this is his ability, so Qianlong knows that he is a huge corrupt official, but he never kills him, because he knows that greed is not terrible, and what he is most afraid of is useless ministers!

There were many such officials before the Tang Dynasty, and when the locust plague came, they only had their hands trembling, their eyes widening angrily, and they lit fire on their bodies, and then roared the slogan of "loyalty to the monarch and patriotism", and launched a suicidal impact on the locust rush, is this useful? Naturally useful, because he himself has a good reputation, and his descendants will also be remembered by the emperor and taken care of by the royal family, but what about Yu Min? It's useless, and it also displaces the people, and it's miserable!

Liu Xu remembers very well that there is a story in the TV series, saying that the relief money stripped by the imperial court was embezzled, and then the common people could only eat bran, and then Lao Ji discussed this truth with Heer in prison, bran can live, in fact, this is the best truth. It's not that Liu Xu thinks that corrupt officials are great and how much they should be, it's just because corrupt officials are hateful, but useless officials are even more chilling!

Liu Xu in the eyes of the current eldest grandson Wuji, in fact, is not much worse, the treasury has no silver, in order not to admit defeat, in order for his eldest grandson family to continue to maintain glory, he must do this trick, Liu Xu is his political enemy, Liu Xu's family has countless money, if he doesn't fight this idea, Liu Xu will think he is stupid.

But then again, as long as he did this trick, Liu Xu felt that he had won, so at this time, facing Li Er, Liu Xu still had a sense of arrogance in his heart, the eldest grandson Wuji had no way, he could easily solve it, isn't this something to be proud of?

The words "stupid" went out, Li Er laughed, and he was not angry, the ground was full of short meadows, it was very comfortable to sit down, Li Er was tired of walking, and sat down on the spot, Liu Xu put a clean silk cloth behind him, and he leaned down comfortably, patted his thigh, and smiled.

"The world dares to say that Wuji is a stupid person, and you Liu Xu has a share, hehe, since they have said this, then you can tell me, if I want to fight Goguryeo, but I don't have money, what should I do?"

Liu Xu smiled and bowed.

"Your Majesty, you have a wisdom pearl in your hand, and you have already thought of a way, why bother to tease the kid here again, otherwise, why do you come to the South China Sea in person?"

Li Er laughed and pointed at Liu Xu.

"You're a clever guy!"

Looking at the sea in the distance, Li Er was relaxed.

"Yes, the South China Sea is a good place, vast, rich! On the first day I arrived in Panyu, I saw these merchant ships coming and going, densely packed, and I wanted to say, with them, why should I worry about the uncertain world and the people not full? ”

Li Er's words are very dangerous, although the city has been open for a long time, but Liu Xu has not paid much attention to many matters in recent years, and today Li Er came in person, it seems that he is ready to start here, but Liu Xu doesn't care, the city ship division was originally to manage the sea route, in the past, all parties were mixed, each of them made profits, it really didn't look like a look, now the emperor wants to intervene and let the sea route be cleared, this is a good choice, anyway, his Liu family does not rely on those things in the city ship.

"Over the years, I have felt more and more powerless, not because I am tired and immovable, but because I found that my world, the world I look at every day, suddenly becomes a little unrecognizable, the place is bigger, there are more people, there are more things to consider, the frog at the bottom of the well, I don't know how big the sky is, I always stay in Chang'an, I see the empty talk reported by the courtiers, and I listen to the vanity of singing praises of virtue, hehe, in the past, others scolded Emperor Yang of Sui for spending money in Jiangnan, but now it seems that this is not Jiangnan, But it's not necessarily Mingjun, I can't see the prosperous scenery clearly if I don't go to Yuezhou, I can't see the prosperity of the South China Sea, I can't see the breadth of the sea, as for the governance strategy that I think hard about every day, in fact, most of them are also swallowing dates, and in the end, I can't figure it out, so I said that this sea politics, I have always been curious, how did I earn the money here, could it be, I want silver, I have to learn from the land bandits and pirates, and I can't rob them everywhere? ”

Liu Xu also smiled at Li Er's appearance, sat down with him, lay there, looking at the blue sea and blue sky, such a scene, although it was a little hot, but it was enough to make people feel refreshed.

"In fact, it's almost the same as robbing, the beginning of human civilization is like this, if you can keep grabbing, Wechen is willing."

Li Er laughed.

"This is also a truth, but since we have done things for the kingdom, we must always be decent, right? Although I have learned a lot these days, I still have some shortcomings, what you have come up with, come and tell me, how should this maritime politics be carried out? ”

Liu Xu thought for a while, then picked up the resin, drew a few strokes on the ground at random, and a rough chart was formed.

"Your Majesty, you see, this is our Tang Dynasty's sea area, the east is vast, it is not a big role for the time being, the interests of this thing, talking about it is always a story between people, so ah, we can only go to the west, not to mention the South China Sea, the cross-strait strait, now Zhang Zhongjian is on the side, it belongs to the Tianzhu Sea, and then in the past, the big food, and even the white-skinned pig farther away, is the blue-eyed and white-skinned guy who came to the boy's house last time, so there are more people, then there are interests, people just like some strange things, The swords of the Western Regions can still make a fortune when they are sold to the Central Plains, not to mention the foreign cultures that are further away? ”

"And the principle of businessmen is like this, the more rare they sell, the more money they make, double, ten times the benefits, or even dozens of times the benefits, it is enough to make them go farther and farther, gold is a rare thing in our place, in some places, it may be as common as scrap iron, and our role is just to give them a way, give them a direction, tell them, far away, there is gold everywhere, this is actually the beginning of maritime politics."

"Of course, if you show the way, you need a price, Your Majesty of Datang is merciful to his people, and he can't let foreign items flood our Datang market, so this tariff will naturally be aggravated, but this is a gradual process, and it can't be achieved overnight."

"Of course, it can't be like the eldest grandson Shunde, an official is an official, he can't lose his majesty, and he can't kill the people who go to the sea with a stick because of greed, and swallow their property, you know, they are also wealth in exchange for their lives, if you let them lose their minds, who will fight? More importantly, you can't let one family dominate, because others are not stupid, with capital, they won't negotiate terms with you? Only competition can have control, appropriate distance, appropriate authority, this is the real maritime politics. ”

"Your Majesty, we make money by sea, it's not how much we go to the sea to fish, the benefits go out, there will always be someone to fish, we just need to be a herding person, hands-on, brain-oriented, all the laws are the same, in fact, they are all the same."

In the end, it was just a few words, build a port, expand the sea route, not ban the sea, build more ships, and be good at the law. After completion, there is no need for Your Majesty to be anxious, naturally someone will ask Your Majesty for the right to expand the sea, if Your Majesty you will raise the status of a merchant a little more, hehe...."

Li Er nodded clearly, after the sun turned west, the sea breeze blew and looked comfortable, Li Er closed his clothes, looked at the red sun in the distance, and smiled. Then he tilted his head and asked curiously.

"People say that you climb Dongshan and Xiaolu, climb Mount Tai and the world, you tell me the truth, you guy, you have been taught so many things by your master, I used to see these individuals, do you think they are a group of dirt buns?"

Liu Xu was stunned, Li Er's thoughts jumped a little big, glanced at Li Er a few times, and then shook his head decisively.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, the kid is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, the real wise man is the first teacher, and the sages of the dynasties and dynasties before him, the boy is fortunate to know some fur knowledge under the first teacher, and is fortunate to be favored by His Majesty, and trusted by His Majesty, so he did some stunned things by mistake and said some strange things, if there is no your far-sighted ancestor, these thoughts of the kid are just talking after dinner."

Li Er looked at Liu Xu speechlessly, and turned his head again.

"Okay, such a vain slap horse, you will say less in the future, I have a headache when I hear it, there is no trace of style and bone, and there is no trace of flattery, so I am embarrassed to be a minister? The affairs of the South China Sea, I have actually figured it out, just like you said, just leave it to a person who can do things, I have limited energy, why bother with these bullshit things? Now that you kid wants to pick it up, it's good, think about it yourself, and then give me a fold. Write well, in Chang'an City, there are many people waiting to find fault with you. ”

"As for Zhenla, that's it, but you still have to think about it yourself, and if you choose to be the auxiliary king, then you have to wait to be participated, you say, how are you going to deal with it? It used to be uncomfortable for you to be caught in the middle, but now the queen is caught in the middle. ”

This is a headache, I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't have a good way, and finally heyed.

"The kid thinks Uncle Cheng's method is good."

"Oh? Ready to mix it up? ”

"Hehe, almost, after the kid is ready to return to Chang'an, he is ready to directly attack the position of the head of the household, who let Zhao Guogong make him miss a hand in this? As for the participation, whoever participates, the kid is ready to take someone to the door, and then throw him to the South China Sea, the kid is now the Duke of Jin, a group of little minions, can't beat them to death. ”

Li Er laughed.

"That's it, what kind of identity, you have to have a temper, you are young, and your majesty is worse than those who have been in the court all your life, you can't avoid it, you have to be ruthless, it's a pity, Changsun Chong doesn't know this truth, otherwise, Dongting Sailor, it will be easy for you Liu Xu to take it back."

The conversation with Li Er, specifically, is relatively comfortable, of course, the premise is that there is no previous diaphragm, Changsun Chong doesn't know whether he is lucky or not to go far, he actually found Zhang Zhongjian, the two sides fought, although Zhang Zhongjian was defeated and fled, but it left a deep shadow on Changsun Chong, because his leg was broken, Liu Xu went to see it, it was more miserable. Then Li Er also visited him very "hateful" and said some words of encouragement, Liu Xu looked at the face of the eldest grandson, and he was almost loveless.

I don't know what's going on, Cham and Maha actually met Zhang Zhongjian again, the two who couldn't please in Zhenla, actually teamed up with Zhang Zhongjian to attack Champa, Fan Zhenlong since he climbed Liu Xu's big branch, he felt at ease, every day he was lustful, and the wine pond meat forest was almost made out by him, but the military guards were not as good as day by day, hundreds of islands, plus less than a thousand military guards, actually beat Fan Zhenlong dizzy, and then was broken into the imperial city.

Zhang Zhongjian is not a fool, after sacking the Champa, he left in style, the buttocks of the Champhara and Maha were not hot, and the flag of the Dongting sailor fluttered on the sea, Li Er was quite positive about this kind of thing, and the reason was very easy to find, the princess of the Champa Li Huan, that was Liu Xu's concubine!

When Fan Zhenlong was fished out of the water prison by Liu Xu like a fool, Li Er announced that this place belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and the name of the place was changed, "Huanzhou" is now the new name of Cham.

After escaping, Chambhara and Maha were caught by Xiao Wu's guards, and the two heads were sent here, Li Er shamelessly pushed himself aside, and met Xiao Wu "cordially", I don't know what they said, which made Liu Xu very depressed, you Li Er, as the king of a country, are you embarrassed to meet my Liu Xu's concubine like this?

Xiao Wu was quite satisfied with Liu Xu's behavior of peeking at his conversation with Li Er, his hands hooked Liu Xu's neck, his eyes were like silk, are you afraid that the slave family will be given by the monarch you believe in?

Liu Xu was silent, such a bastard's question, he resolutely couldn't answer it, and he couldn't tell Xiao Wu that you were harmed by him in history, and that Xu Hui who is now in Ganye Temple!

"The slave family didn't find out, it turned out that the husband was stingy, and he was so good-looking, you said, if Xiao Wu didn't keep the woman's way, how would you punish Xiao Wu?"

Excessively! Quite excessive! Liu Xu felt that it was necessary to discuss the consequences with her, family law is necessary, and the consequences are serious, when Liu Xu's two eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his face was pale and paralyzed on the champion, his face was full of pride, and then he sneezed fiercely, and the breeze came, he knew that it was time for him to go home.
