Chapter 262: Ten Years
"Lu Qing's family in the Ministry of War. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Xu put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Lu Junyi, look at Zhao Xu now, where is there still that drunken and hazy look just now, there is no color in his plain eyes, as if the more than 3,000 people who have just died in front of his eyes are like mustard
"Weichen is here, but please ask Your Majesty to command."
"Order Yue Fei and Shi Wengong to fight quickly, especially to inform Shi Wengong, Guangshangdao, I don't need to live." After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he picked up his goblet and slowly guided the bright red liquid into his mouth
"Wechen obeys."
Then, Zhao Xu continued: "At the same time, Xu Ning was promoted to the commander of the Liaozhou East Road Command Division, and the North Sea Fleet was established, and the General Peng Hai of the Relocation Department was the general of the North Sea Fleet, and the number of early formations was 30,000, and the base of the North Sea Fleet was set up in the bay near Jizhou City on the North Road of Liaozhou, and the Ministry of Engineering seized the time to build this naval base. β
"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen has written it down."

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, the time has reached the twenty-seventh year of Yuan You, and the war against the Goryeo Kingdom has passed for ten years, and Zhao Xu has been in this world for twenty years, converted into the era of later generations, it is 1112 AD, Zhao Xu is thirty-five years old, these years, Zhao Xu has not accepted any more concubines, and his wives have successively given birth to many children for him, our big pig's foot Comrade Zhao Xu is now seven boys, eleven girls Lao Tzu, and his eldest son Zhao Qi is also sixteen years old, His youngest daughter was only four years old, and after the development of Zhao Xu's population plan, in ten years, the total population of the entire Song Empire had grown from about 140 million when he conquered Goryeo to 230 million now.
And on this day, Zhao Xu finished approving the chapters submitted by the major ministries and departments, according to the usual practice, Zhao Xu was personally teaching his children, for literary issues such as poetry and songs, subsets of scriptures and history, he was naturally handed over to those literary Confucians, and what he himself taught his children was to look at the world with an open mind, vision and everything that a country ruler should have. And Zhao Xu is the kind of person who has no talent and no talent, so all his children listen to Zhao Xu's lessons in this classroom where they usually attend classes, but to be honest, most of the content that Zhao Xu teaches is what boys need
"What the Father is telling you today is, what is the most important thing for the ruler of a country to do in his reigning career, to put it more colloquially, what does a country, no matter how big or small, from an empire to a territory, need their ruler to be a good ruler for his own country and his people?" As Zhao Xu spoke, he took away the jade card that his youngest son Zhao Yan kept playing with and put it on the table, "Old Seven, you speak first." β
"Erchen...... Erchen, I don't know. Zhao Xu's seventh son, Zhao Yan, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Xu's gaze at him
"You play in class and don't listen to the teachings, how can you know this problem, sit down, and give a good lecture to your father." Zhao Xu's educational philosophy is that education is the mainstay, supplemented by beating, and blindly beating and scolding will play the opposite role of the purpose, so he almost never beats his children
After Zhao Xu sat Zhao Yan down, he continued to say to his children: "Whoever of you knows, you can say it boldly. β
As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, his eldest son Zhao Qi stood up and said to Zhao Xu: "Father, Master Lu Ci once talked about Mencius? Dedication to the Chapters and Verses", among them, Mencius has a cloud: the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Therefore, because of the people, he became the Son of Heaven, because of the Son of Heaven and became the princes, and because of the princes, he became the doctors. The princes are in danger, and they are replaced. That is to say, only by getting the hearts of the people can he become a son of heaven, which is the one who wins the hearts of the people and wins the world, so Erchen believes that the ruler of a country or a territory, what he needs to do most is to win the hearts of the people. β
"Then tell me more, how can a ruler win the hearts of the people?" Zhao Xu looked at his eldest son and asked
"Let the people live a prosperous life, and they will naturally win the hearts of the people if they don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"Did your Master Lu Ci tell you how to understand Mencius's words as a father?"
"No, my son is willing to listen to his father's teachings."
"In the world, there was no king, and there were no so-called scholars and other nobles, all people were the same, they were all people who were constantly running for life, and with the continuous increase of the people, the continuous planting and production of grain, the continuous increase of the territory area and the land that could be planted, a social system gradually appeared between them, which is the emergence of the community, and after a period of development, the people need to have a person or a team to lead themselves and the community. So as to make yourself or the collective living with yourself live a better life, this person who came into being becomes a king, only the people need you, you are the king, if the people feel that you can't bring them a better life, then you will naturally not be the king, so this is the people of the hill and the son of heaven. However, the territory or country of Nuoda could not be managed by the king alone, so there were ministers, courts, princes by virtue of the Son of Heaven, and the ruling class appeared. The princes are in danger, and they are replaced. When the monarch of a country or the princes of a territory begin to disregard the people's livelihood, greedy for pleasure, and endanger the society of the country, the people will rise up and change, since you can't be a good monarch, you can't seek benefits for the people of the country or territory, but throw the people to death regardless of it, then the people will overthrow you and change the monarch again, which is the change of ownership of the country. Therefore, in a country, the people, will never change, the country will never change, the only thing that is constantly changing is the king, and the root of the change is the people, the people win the hearts of the people, this is not just you see an empty sentence in the book, for the monarch must always be vigilant, everywhere careful, we as members of the royal family, as our Song Empire's highest status notification class, that is just because the people push us to the position of a leader, if we can't be a good leader, If we can't always work for the welfare of the people, then the day of replacing the leader according to the people is not far off. For example, Qin Shi Huang won the government, when he was in the sky, he responded to the will of the people, unified China, and achieved hegemony through the ages, but after becoming the ruler, he continued to impose tyranny, causing the people to live poorly, therefore, Qin II died, and Han Gaozu beheaded the White Snake uprising and replaced it. Look at Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, he created the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and also created the Tianbao crisis of the decline of the Tang Dynasty, He also, to put it in the vernacular, that is, he takes himself too seriously, if an emperor only knows pleasure, the government will inevitably be wasted, too much favor Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, let himself be loyal and traitorous, reuse foreigners as the border guards with heavy troops in the empire, and fall into the instability of the imperial regime, after eight years of Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Empire has turned from prosperity to decline. Children, therefore, the role of the emperor is very important in the rise and fall of an empire, if you can't be a good emperor, then someone will replace you. β
"Yes, my father and my sons have written it down."
"A good memory is better than a bad pen, I just said that you didn't remember a word of the six of you, borrow your eldest brother's notes to see it, and write them down." Zhao Xu pointed to his six sons except Zhao Qi and said
"Daddy, my daughter also has something to say about your question just now." At this time, Zhao Xu's eldest daughter Zhao Rui stood up and said with a slight bow to Zhao Xu
"Oh? Hahaha, I can't imagine that my eldest daughter wants to say it again, okay, you can tell your father about it. Zhao Xu absolutely has a double standard of behavior for his sons and daughters, and he can deduce seven or eight times out of ten by looking at his way of talking and laughing at his daughters
"Daddy, if you want to say what the ruler of a country needs the most, my daughter thinks, it should be balance."
"Be specific."
"There are many kinds of balance in an empire, the balance of the court and the officials, the balance of the land and the people in the country, and the balance of the officials is the way of the emperor. Daddy, look back at the map hanging on the wall, the world is so big, the land currently occupied by our Great Song Empire is only the vast majority of the land in East Asia, and those loose political systems and small khanates in Siberia, we also have no ability to occupy them for the time being, to get back to the point, Daddy, your holy decree of vigorously developing the population back then, it seems that the empire is executing quite well, and the rapid development of the population will greatly shorten the time for the war, but the world is so big, Are you sure that you will be able to occupy all the land in the world in your lifetime? Even if you could, how many of us would have the population to fill the void after the occupation? Daddy has stationed 400,000 troops in the south, and the empire has been recuperating for another ten years, and the days of war on the southeast peninsula will inevitably be numbered, but after that, the empire's powerful war machine will continue to move forward? Tibetan? India? However, the population filling, social environment, and economic recovery after the war all need to be considered by the ruling class, and war is not only a war, but also a series of problems that arise after it, so war is a slow journey. Therefore, the daughter believes that what the ruler needs most is how to balance the world he owns. β
After listening to the words of his eldest daughter Zhao Rui, Zhao Xu was silent for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, a good daughter of a father, grow up quickly, if you can, you can be a household secretary in the future." β
"Daddy, I heard that you almost made my mother an official of the household department back then, is this true?" It was Zhao Xu and Chu Yun's other daughter who spoke, Zhao Yizhu, and it was strange to say that Chu Yun and Zhao Xu had two children, and they were both girls
"Yes, but in the end, your mother made a wife for your father, and as for the official position, it is natural for your talented uncle to do it hahaha." Zhao Xu gently eased the atmosphere in the classroom with Zhao Yizhu's words, and then said to all his children: "The teacher arranged for your father for you is not just some sour Confucianism who only knows poetry and songs, Lu Ci old man, he teaches you the most essential knowledge in the Ghost Valley, most of his disciples are in the empire, Chu Luli, Zhuge Qimen and others are his disciples, Zhou Dong, the previous secretary of the military department, the marshal of the empire, and the master of the current military department secretary Lu Junyi, this person is not only proficient in military affairs, It is also excellent in martial arts, in his teaching to you, you should also understand that the public loses naturally, you don't look at his usual Muna, this person is the direct descendant of the public loss class, this person is proficient in all kinds of mechanical devices, imperial repeaters, sniper crossbows, all kinds of artillery, all kinds of warships, and even the musket that is about to be successfully developed, are all presided over by this person, and in terms of literature, Mr. Dongpo is the first Confucian in the world in terms of calligraphy, painting, and literature, and in terms of arithmetic, Liu Shihai, the head of the household, personally teaches you, I won't wronged you. Children, with the development of time, you are gradually growing up, especially you six boys, there is only one throne left for the father, and there will only be one person who will become a great treasure after a hundred years of being a father, the empire cannot be divided into seven, give one of you a share, so what about the other six people, staring at this throne every day, thinking every day how the brother who sits on the throne pushes down? No, you should unite and make our Song Empire the most powerful country in the world, the emperor is just one person, he can't do everything in everything, but you are seven people, some people need him to charge into battle, some people need him to manage the people's livelihood, and some people need him to conduct scientific and technological research, everyone has a side that everyone should have, not all people are suitable to be emperors. β
"Sons and ministers should remember their father's teachings."
"Let's take an example, Gongyi naturally once said to me that my second prince Zhao Mu, you are very suitable for going to the Shipbuilding Division, and even the Ministry of Industry, your concept of transforming the sail, Gongyi Nature and the chief of the Shipbuilding Department have experimented, which can increase the speed of the ship by about ten knots, and the rest, you are almost at the bottom, and the third child, Zhao Lie, Lu Ci and Zhou Tong's evaluation of you is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, good at arranging troops, spiritually transcendent, and your future martial arts attainments are definitely rare opponents in the empire, but what about others, You can't do it, I asked you to evaluate the chapter, what you said is all nonsense, and then you, Lao Qi, are proficient in poetry and songs, just say that with your current poetry and learning, you are stronger than me, a father, but as soon as Lao Tzu talks about the general trend of the world, you kid will be sleepy, if you are an emperor like you, it is strange if you are not a faint king.
