Chapter 219: On the Border Issue
Soon, Fu Bi and the three of them returned to the palace.
While walking, Fu Bi and the three of them gave a detailed introduction to the situation in the court in the past three months.
Lu Yijian didn't really give him three months to prepare as he promised Youjingyan at the beginning.
In the past three months, he has spoken to Zhao Zhen in front of him above the court, strongly refuting the shortcomings of You Jingyan's training of this army no less than ten times, and I don't know how many times I have said it in private, but fortunately, the court is rich and round, otherwise Zhao Zhen doesn't know when he won't be able to hold on.
"Rich man, it's really hard." You Jingyan smiled ruffianly and thanked him with a little sincerity.
Fu Bi didn't know about You Jingyan's character, and when he said words of thanks, he probably didn't have much sincerity in his heart.
"It's all for the sake of Da Song, and I really can't stand to thank you." In the eyes of others, Fu Bi may be a humble gentleman, but when Fu Bi gets along with You Jingyan, it is completely different. The two are like rivals.
Soon the four of them saw Zhao Zhen, and after not seeing Zhao Zhen for three months, he had a little maturity and majesty.
It seems that that position is really a place to hone people.
"Training is over? The result? As soon as Zhao Zhen saw You Jingyan and the three of them, he asked eagerly, this question is also what he is most concerned about now, for three months, the pressure he is under is not small at all.
The Song Dynasty's preferential treatment of literati was good, but the disadvantage was that it would make the emperor very tired, okay?
"It's all done, and the results are expected." But on top of these questions, You Jingyan will take the initiative to answer.
Di Qing is the kind of person who is not good at words, and Cao Jingxiu is not qualified, so this arduous task can only be handed over to You Jingyan.
"Okay, that's good." Zhao Zhen added another sentence as he spoke: "Sit down, you have worked hard for three months." ”
"Your Majesty, the training is over, do you want to pull the team out so that they can see some blood?" You Jingyan asked very vaguely and carefully, he was observing Zhao Zhen's expression.
Zhao Zhen was full of embarrassment by You Jingyan's topic: "Jingyan, why don't you think about what you said, it's just that the court is not satisfied with my Great Song Dynasty taking the initiative to start a war, so..."
By chance, You Jingyan suddenly thought of an excellent idea.
I saw him smiling ruffianly, and in the eyes of those who are familiar with him, he has some ghost ideas.
"Your Majesty, respectful words have an idea."
Of course, Zhao Zhen was looking forward to You Jingyan's idea, and everyone else present was very happy with You Jingyan's idea.
"Most of the courtiers did not agree with the Great Song Dynasty to start a war, in addition to their somewhat conservative thinking, other concerns are indeed worth paying attention to, military and financial resources are often linked, the country will only recruit troops to enrich the army when it has money, once the army is enriched, they think that they are invincible in the world, and they will use force to achieve the security of the territory without the intention of aggression and expansion."
You Jingyan was also extremely solemn when he talked about business.
Steady and serious, compared with his usual riffraff disguise, it also adds a little bit of charm.
The other three also listened with bated breath.
At this moment, You Jingyan really has a little bit of light on him.
"Once a war is launched, it will inevitably lead to the squandering of the wealth accumulated in the treasury for decades, and the war consumes not only money and food, but more importantly, the population.
"Talent is the master of all things, and the consumption of population represents the decline in the pot. In this way, it will inevitably make the people's livelihood miserable, and the people's livelihood will be a threat to the stability of the state power. ”
"At the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, with the accumulation of scriptures and Jing dynasties, the pot of the Han Dynasty was already quite powerful, but because of the war against the Xiongnu, the national strength of the Han Dynasty was quickly consumed."
After You Jingyan said this, the other three did not speak, indicating that the three of them basically did not object to You Jingyan's point of view.
"Therefore, when the previous dynasties evaluated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they would be a little reckless."
Although the three of them did not object to You Jingyan, they all beat drums in their hearts, didn't You Jingyan approve of fighting against Xia?
However, none of the three raised this question to You Jingyan.
Maybe they all think that You Jingyan will definitely make a big turn in the back, and then agree with their own opinions.
"But if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not launch the war against the Xiongnu, then the Xiongnu will not only often riot the borders of the Han Dynasty, but one day the Xiongnu will grow up to be capable enough to confront the Han Dynasty, and then the Han will have no initiative, and it is likely to become a fish on the sticky board."
"So, Emperor Wu of Han is the right policy to start this war, and the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages after all."
I didn't expect You Jingyan to spare for so long just to come to such a conclusion, which made Di Qing a little anxious.
Fu Bi still knew Di Qing better, and before he could speak, Fu Bi spoke: "Hanchen, listen to Jingyan." ”
I only listened to You Jingyan still had that expression, and said extremely seriously: "On the other hand, my Great Song Dynasty is much richer than when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was born, and the population of Jingshi may be the largest since Qin Shi Huang created the Great Unification Dynasty." ”
You Jingyan touted the Great Song Dynasty to the fullest.
In the absence of the Industrial Revolution and in an agrarian society, population was an important factor in measuring a country.
The country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented. What is food? Eating poop is eating, what is eating? Eating is farming! What does farming depend on? In those days when there were no machines, farming was done by manpower.
So population was very important at that time.
Unlike now the population command becomes a drag on the country.
Ahem, ahem, it's a bit far.
You Jingyan made Da Song beautiful, and said that the three people present were in a fog.
I only listened to You Jingyan and continued to speak: "Since the alliance of Tanyuan, the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and Liao has been quite stable, but the high amount of New Year's coins and the hard wound of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are indeed a thorn in the throat of the Great Song Dynasty, and I can't spit it out and swallow it. ”
You Jingyan said that a problem does exist, and it was counted by You Jingyan that the faces of the three of them were not good-looking.
"The border created by the Tanyuan Alliance can indeed make the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State peaceful for a long time, and even maintaining stability for hundreds of years is not a problem, so there is a basis for saying this, Liao He has iron hooves but the economy is underdeveloped, which cannot support him to fight abroad."
"This is a good thing for the people on the border, but it is not a wonderful thing for the people who occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun by Liao, and it will not be a good thing for the inheritance of Chinese blood and culture.
