Chapter 180: Although the country is big, it is dangerous to forget the war

"Uh......" Li Hao rolled his eyes, looking noncommittal. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info How could Li Hao not know about the affairs of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? In fact, he doesn't know as much as people at this time, and he can even analyze it more comprehensively.

Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty monopolized the state-run sale of salt and iron liquor and implemented the policy of equalizing and losing evenly. The aim is to prevent businessmen from profiting from it, thereby increasing government revenues, achieving the effect of regulating prices and preventing market monopolies, and concentrating wealth in their own hands.

However, this led to a situation of competing with the people for profit, and the merchants turned their attention to the sale and purchase of land, which led to serious land annexation. This is an economic problem, and Li Hao thinks that he has at least a lot more knowledge than people at this time.

At this time, people could only start with what the government could not do, and the economists of later generations had already moved from macroeconomic regulation and control to microcontrol, and the planned economy to the market economy.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was extremely prosperous, it was the accumulation of several generations. In his own hands, on the contrary, because of his conquests everywhere, the treasury was empty, and a large number of people were conscripted into the army, with heavy casualties, which also affected economic development.

Due to the hardship of the people's livelihood, social unrest, the displacement of the people and the boiling of public resentment, in the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, large-scale peasant uprisings broke out in Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao and Nanyang. In the fourth year of Zhenghe, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to personally issue the "Luntai Guilty Edict" to admit his sins to the people and publicly reflect on them.

This history can see different problems from different times, for Li Hao, various forums in later generations have analyzed everything, and he is more aware of how to deal with things here, but people don't think much about it at this time.

"Your Majesty, don't forget the past, the teacher of the future."

After the guy who had said that he was friendly was said ridiculously by Li Hao, he immediately pulled his neck and wiped his tears, and talked about the ancient times with the Manchu ministers with a handful of tears and snot. completely thinks about Li Er's country and the Tang Dynasty, Li Hao's ridiculous sentence seriously hurt people's self-esteem.

In ancient times, people's evaluation of Han Wu was basically based on the edict of Comrade Xiao Liu himself, which could not be taken seriously. Especially the evaluation of Comrade Xiaoguang, who smashed the cylinder later, was ruthless in his "Zizhi Tongjian", and it was even more:

"Poverty and luxury, heavy punishment. The inner palace room, the foreign affairs are all four. Believe in the gods and monsters, and parade excessively". There is this comment on the actions of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty during his reign: "Han Wu had the loss of Qin and avoided the disaster of Qin." ”

What Li Hao wanted to say to the minister and Comrade Xiaoguang was two words: "." "You must know that the Great Song Dynasty perished because it was extremely wealthy, but it couldn't fight, and in the end, even the emperor and princess were all captured by the barbarians and treated as slaves.

Li Hao, who is not familiar with military affairs and likes to drop ancient texts, is quite contemptuous, first of all, this minister, in his mind, the war should be like Li Er's previous defeat. Fight the war out of your own pocket, and after the battle, you have to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, reprimand the people outside the country and then comfort them, maybe you have to send a princess and a large number of technical talents over.

Then he will pay for the meritorious soldiers out of his own pocket, and as for those who died in battle, they will be sent as they please. Where does the money come from, it would be nice if so many civilians in the country levied more taxes on them, and the extremely beautiful use of the inner and outer kings can show the demeanor and magnanimity of my royal master.

Is it important to live or die the people in the country? Therefore, the more battles are fought, the more battles are won, the more soldiers will lose, and the more miserable the life of the common people in the country will be. Fighting, if people can't live anymore, won't they rebel?

Isn't that what "Death Song of the Dead Waves of Liaodong" means? It's better to help the country fight a war than to be a robber, who will go to war in the future? Comrade Lao Yang thought so, so he failed in his first expedition to Goryeo, and then he was defeated again, and he was defeated and defeated.

As for Comrade Xiaoguang, this comrade is a conservative and thriftist in the Great Song Dynasty, and I think the war in his mind should be that all the soldiers should go bare-chested to fight the Hu people and win, otherwise everyone will save money and live frugally, and the money saved will be sent to the Liao people to send New Year's coins.

As for his ability, I won't evaluate it, but it is an indisputable fact that Song was completely weakened after the fight between him and Comrade Xiao Wang. Moreover, the Song Dynasty was the weakest dynasty that was repeatedly bullied and oppressed by foreign countries, and it had never been tough on the outside world once.

Therefore, if this kind of person evaluates a person with great martial arts, it can basically be regarded as a fart, if he has a little vision, Da Song will not be like a beautiful woman who has stripped off her clothes and is ravaged by others. As for his personality, I will not comment on him here, but he is one of the only ones on paper.

Compared with others, Li Er at this time actually still admired Han Wu, and Tang Taizong said: "In modern times, under the same day, those who expand the border are only Qin Huang and Han Wu." It can be seen from here that Li Er's evaluation is still quite fair.

It was only later that he was honored as the "Heavenly Khan" and said proudly: "In the past, the people said that there was no supreme strategy for Yurong, and now I am in the right place to govern China, and the four Yi are self-serving, isn't it the best policy?" He also said, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been a poor soldier for more than 30 years, and he has gained little from China." Shall we now be virtuous, so that all the land of poverty will be made into a household? ”

This is what Li Er didn't know about after his death, otherwise he wouldn't dare to say that, or he wouldn't dare to boast so much when he lived to the same age as Han Wu. He will regret why he didn't slaughter all those bastards in the first place, the so-called Huairou policy Siyi came to the dynasty and basically put gold on his face, which was just a temporary effect, and left endless disasters.

But now in the court, Li Hao can't say a lot of things directly, but it is more than enough to deal with a minister who wants to be friendly, with the little material in his heart. Li Hao smiled and asked the deceased brother who was close to the country: "I don't know why this colleague thinks it's called a war?" And what about the war in your heart? ”

The answer of this brother and his own brother is really not the answer that Li Hao expected, it is nothing more than the invasion of foreign Yi should raise the strength of the whole country, and the soldiers will defeat each other with one heart, and then reprimand the people outside the country and then comfort them, my Celestial Empire should have the wind of a great power.

Li Hao smiled, this brother and his brother's answer is very authentic in this era, and there are no loopholes. But when he saw that Li Hao was so bright, his heart tightened inexplicably, and he secretly doubted, could he have answered wrong?

Li Hao didn't explain this, he chased after him and asked his brother a few questions, such as how to get the grain and grass of our army, how to reward the casualties and military exploits of the soldiers, and what to do if Hu Min invaded again next time.

And my brother's answers are basically in line with the ideas of people of this era.,If you evaluate it by people of this era, it's basically no loophole.。 So the more he answered with his brother, the more confident he became, but Li Hao on the other side also smiled more and more brightly.

"So according to the meaning of this colleague, if there is no need to increase taxes from the country to fight a war, and the soldiers do not need to allocate money from the treasury to reward them for their military merits, then is it no problem to fight a war?"

The brother and his brother paused for a while, but he still reacted quickly, and then retorted that if he didn't raise materials from the country, he would have to get supplies from the Hu people, which was inconsistent with the purpose of the benevolence and righteousness of my dynasty's king, and damaged the image of my Tang Dynasty.

However, his rebuttal made Li laugh even brighter: "Congratulations, you answered correctly, but there is no reward." Emperor Yang of the first dynasty also thought so, so as soon as he conquered Goryeo, he preached his benevolent and righteous teacher, so he was defeated very badly, and because of this, the Great Sui was ruined. ”

"Besides, when those people from outside the country plundered the materials of my Han children, why didn't you tell him what a teacher of benevolence and righteousness was? When you need to collect taxes from the people of my Datang Dynasty to fight a war, why don't you talk about benevolence and righteousness from the people of my Datang and not collect their taxes? ”

"When those fallen soldiers fought bloody battles for the comfort of the frontier, why didn't you tell them about benevolence and righteousness, and give him more sympathy to appease the soldiers? On the contrary, when I was fighting against Hu Yi, I had to talk about benevolence and righteousness to a group of people who killed the people of our dynasty and seized the land of my dynasty. I think the imperial court should check the eighteen generations of your ancestors, lest you betray my Tang Dynasty in the future. ”

"You...... I ......" and my brother only came to say these two words, and they were fainted by Li Hao's words. It seems that this benevolent brother's physique is not up to par, so he fainted like this? Immediately a guard moved the fainted man aside.

This guy's face is lost at the moment, and it will be difficult for him to raise his head in front of his colleagues in the future. Originally, it was just to make Li Hao suffer a loss in words, but he never thought that he would be stunned by Li Hao, and there was no one else.

Li Hao felt that he didn't seem to have fully exerted his combat effectiveness, and he felt a little unfinished. Then he looked around, but no one jumped out to debate this with him anymore, and people with a little vision and ability were reflecting on the meaning of what he said.

"Your Majesty, although the country is great, the belligerent will perish. But there is also a sentence at the back, although the country is big, it will be dangerous to forget the war! Naturally, the country's strength cannot be maintained by reckless military force, nor can it be maintained by compromising and seeking perfection. ”

Li Haozhen, a politician at this time, didn't know how to evaluate it, maybe it was the limitations of the times, and maybe there were some people who had problems with their nature. Killing one's own people is quite ruthless, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and the means of punishing the nine clans can be used.

But externally, it seems that the means are much more generous, and if they can come up with half of the internal means, it is estimated that the disasters of those frontier Hu people will be much less. It's a pity that history has never thought of many people like this, but they are still making excuses for their weakness and drowning those heroes.
