Chapter 766 The military and politics depend on the economy, and the economy depends on flickering
In the quiet of the study, you can hear the night wind whistling by, or hitting the window lattice, crackling, but the interior is warm, as if separated from the outside into two worlds. 【Reading.com】
Not only Tiangong Building, Honglu Temple is also like this, when he first arrived in the capital, Katsuhito felt very surprised by this, he looked inside and outside the house, and did not find anything like a stove or a fireplace.
Later he learned that it was the strange heater in the house, which was said to have hot water running through it, and then ...... He doesn't know much about the specific principle, and he doesn't plan to dwell on it, in short, it is one of the many miracles of the Ming Dynasty, which can make the house warm as spring in winter, and it is not subject to smoke and fire, whether you understand it or not, it is so godly.
However, the moment he heard Xie Hong's words, he first subconsciously let out an exclamation, and his body suddenly became cold, as if the heater had lost its effect; The next moment, a hot breath emanated from his heart to his whole body, making him hot from head to toe, and the artifact that could regulate the temperature completely lost its effect on him.
"Master Xie, what do you mean...... That might ......"
There were three other people who followed Katsuhito, the leader of Hosokawa Sumiyuki represented the shogunate and the minister, Imai Muneyi represented the merchants of the Wa Kingdom, and the other was a member of the Ouchi family, which was considered to represent the princes, but what he decided, it must have been planned for his own family.
These people have all experienced Xie Hong's domineering and domineering, especially the experience of the Ouchi family is the most profound, so including Katsuren, several people were like being struck by lightning, standing there in a daze, almost unable to believe their ears.
Only Imai, a businessman, reacted. Coercion can also be regarded as a means of negotiation, although the coercion exerted by Daming is a bit too great, but after all, it is within the routine, so he will not completely understand.
He can accept the coercion, but the current routine is too incredible, and the benefits of Tianda are just thrown over casually, saying that the world is the same and get rich together, this is ...... Is it possible? If there wasn't still a shred of reason, he would have asked this heartfelt question.
Subjectively speaking, no one wants to see their neighbors become rich and strong, not to mention that it will lead to an imbalance in mentality, but the threat brought by this is tangible and visible! Isn't the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and its neighbors a clear proof? Will the Ming Dynasty give the Japanese a chance so selflessly? If you really think about this, you don't think it's reliable.
From the practical point of view, even if the Ming Dynasty is really so selfless and provides opportunities for the Wa Kingdom to learn and progress, it is also a big question whether the Wa State can do it.
First, there are many things in Middle-earth, which have magically exceeded imagination, and whether they can learn it at home is a very serious problem. In addition, the Wa Kingdom did not have a unified political axe, which was a big trouble, not to mention the emperor and the shogunate, even if the powerful princes Ouchi family could firmly control the territory, it was only two countries, only one-thirtieth of the three islands of the Wa Kingdom.
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the possibility of this thing being realized is quite slim. If we take into account the small actions secretly in the Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, the motive behind Xie Hong's proposal is even more intriguing.
Xie Hong tasted tea patiently for a while, and saw that the eyes of several Japanese people began to roll and recovered from their sluggish state, so he explained with a smile: "Of course, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the rice must be eaten one bite at a time. ”
"But......" Katsuhito was so surprised that he didn't hold steady and stood up. At this time, he felt that his face was a little unbearable, so he didn't plan to negotiate in person, but made a gesture to Imai, to get rich in such a high-tech business, you still have to let professionals take the lead.
"Please also ask Master Hou to make it clear." Imai stood up and bowed more than 120 degrees, fully demonstrating the flexibility of the waist of the Japanese people.
"These words, you have also played in the capital, I don't know how you feel?" The Japanese side has changed, and the same is true on the Ming side, Tang Bohu smiled, and his expression seemed to be the leader of the poor households in later generations, which was very kind.
"This ......" Imai was confused again, he was very unsure of what the other party meant.
That's right, these people have been around the capital, they have been to theaters and teahouses, and they have also visited commercial streets such as Qianmen Street, but these places are not suitable for them.
They don't understand the language, and because they have a low level of education, it is difficult for them to understand things like dramas and novels; And although the things of those merchants at the front door are good, it is a pity that they are shy and can't afford to buy them, so they can only watch dryly, what fun can this be? Therefore, they go to the most, and the most lingering is the Bada Hutong, especially the Lichun Courtyard, where the tricks are right for their appetite.
Although Imai doesn't know Chinese, he is very eloquent, and this kind of topic was originally a good opportunity for him to show his eloquence, but those flattering words turned around in his mouth, but it was not easy to speak. The reason is very simple, the women in it are all from the Wa Kingdom, if he praises it, it seems that he is selling himself and boasting, and by the way, he is suspected of belittling the women of the Ming Dynasty.
"Okay, very good......" Imai is such a shrewd person, of course, he would not do such a stupid thing, he smacked his mouth and said a few words dryly.
"Those artists in Lichun Courtyard used to be very ordinary, why are they shining and loved by everyone now?" Tang Bohu continued to ask.
"It's all the work of the education of the country...... Imai insists that Aoyama will not relax, and the key to patting the sycophants is that the benefits and merits are for adults, as long as this principle is not shaken, the career and business fortune will be smooth all the way.
"Not bad." Tang Bohu smiled with satisfaction, "People are still the same people, the key is whether there is anyone to teach, and whether they have mastered the skills they have learned...... Look at how remarkable they are right now! Therefore, as long as there is the help of the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt that the Japanese people can become rich through hard work. ”
"Yes, yes, my lord said yes." Imai chick pecked the rice and nodded, and then raised concerns with some hesitation, "However, my lord, the situation of our country is relatively special, and I'm afraid there is no way to ......pass the decree like the kingdom of Shangguo."
"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a yearning for a better life, all difficulties and obstacles are not a problem." Tang Bohu said righteously, his handsome face was almost glowing, and people would have a sense of holiness when they looked at it.
"Yes, yes......" Imai was dumbfounded, he understood every word Tang Bohu said, but when put together, he couldn't understand it. Of course, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, the most important thing at this time is whether you have determination or not, he just needs to know that Master Tang is very powerful and great.
This time it was Xie Hong's turn to snicker, Brother Bohu's eloquence, this image, and his acting skills, if he doesn't travel to the next generation to do a pyramid scheme that fools people, it's really a waste of talent! Let the great talent fool a few widows, it's really a knife to kill chickens, tsk, it's a waste.
"Of course, there are still practical problems, and we need to find a way to solve them......" After pretending to be a saint, Tang Bohu changed his words and talked about the difficulties in reality, "The inconsistency of government decrees is a taboo in economic development, and if you don't solve this, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Oh? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty was willing to provide support to restore the glory of the shogunate (imperial family)? The eyes of the Japanese people lit up, and Hosokawa and Katsuhito shouted in unison. Since the Ming Dynasty can support those daimyo, it can also support the royal family or the shogunate, with the righteous name in hand, and no matter how strong it is, why is it difficult to unify the whole country?
As soon as the words came out, the two glared at each other again, who wants to be a puppet if they can be in power? From this point of view, the contradiction between the emperor and the shogunate was also irreconcilable.
"The sage said: the soldier is also a murder weapon, and he has to move it as a last resort, and it is not a good way to counter violence with violence, and the best way is to convince people with virtue, of course, the national conditions of the Japanese country are special, and benevolence and virtue are not necessarily easy to use, so we must find another good way, such as: using economic means to solve political problems." Tang Bohu shook his head and talked about the big truth, and the ultimate goal was naturally to fool.
"Economic...... Politics? "The principle advocated by the Japanese people is similar to Xie Hong's foreign policy, that is, if you don't accept it, you will fight until you are convinced. Other means, although there are allusions, but they have not used it, and they will not use it, hearing the new term thrown by Tang Bohu, several Japanese people opened their mouths, indicating that they could not understand.
Use economic means to solve political and military problems, this trick is not new in China, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Xiang Guan Zhong had played economic warfare, served the silk to descend to Lu Liang, bought the deer to make Chu, bought the fox to descend to the generation, he used the economic war perfectly, after the three wars, completely laid the position of the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period for the Qi State.
It's just that later Confucianism came to power, and most of the non-Confucian classics were abandoned, so Guan Zhong's wisdom and strategy could not be carried forward, and he could only leave memories and regrets for future generations. This time Xie Hong mentioned economic warfare, even Tang and Wang, the two great talents, were at a loss, until Xie Hong explained in detail, this combined with the classic story, and finally understood, how could the barbarians understand it?
"Yes, when you were visiting the capital before, did you ever notice what the guides sent by this official used to pay the bills?" After Lin Han brought the Japanese people to the capital, he handed over to Tang Bohu, so the itinerary of the Japanese people was all under the control of the latter.
"This ......" The Japanese people all frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, after a while, Imai hesitated and said, "It seems to be something like paper, could it be some kind of credential or ......"
Mixed in the countless shocks brought by the capital, such small details are really inconspicuous, if it weren't for the profession, meticulous habits, Imai really can't notice. When he saw it, he thought it was a certificate or a white slip issued by the yamen, but now it seems that there is something else.
"Mr. Imai is really careful, it is indeed a kind of voucher that can replace silver and become a voucher for new money, we call it a new treasure banknote." Tang Bohu smiled leisurely and gently uncovered the mystery, "The key to solving the problem of the Japanese state lies in this. ”
