Chapter 107: Chidao Idea (II)
(There are no recommendations, and there is really no passion at all...... Ask for a collection recommendation, let me be a little motivated)
Lu Chengqi sighed: "This is not speculation, but the speed deduced from ancient books. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Why is the Qin Dynasty so strong? Because they are not afraid of no food and grass, no reinforcements, everyone fights bravely to kill the enemy! Of course, Chidao does much more than that. I tasted and heard, 'Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king', the meaning is understood by everyone, that is, the whole world is the king's land, and within the four seas, all are the king's ministers. But I also have a land that has not been kingen! Lingnan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Qiongzhou, etc., there are still border people who do not obey Wang Hua and become thieves. Dengzhou and Qingzhou also have water cowards. Why are thieves so rampant? It's all because my Dashun army is marching too slowly, and it can't be wiped out! ”
Yang Daoqi listened, carefully recalled his experience in power for more than a year, and found that this was indeed the case. Whenever the army of bandits arrived, the thieves fled from the wind, hiding in the mountains or entering the water, but they were all hidden. When the army arrived, they could not find where the thieves were. And when the army left, the thieves revived. This repetition is like a tug-of-war, making the imperial court spend military salaries, grain and grass, but there is no progress.
If there was a gallop at that time, and the box army and the forbidden army sent out thundered and attacked, how could these thieves escape? Yang Daoqi couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Chengqi continued: "...... The completion of the Chidao road will not only have a far-reaching impact on the military side, but also on the civilian side. Why did the Qin Dynasty die? The world says it is tyranny, but it is not. It is because it is reckless in military force and does not know how to develop the economy. If I build the gallop road, it will be open to the public except in wartime. I once said that the road leads to the wealth. If the economy is to improve, to increase the tax revenue of business, and to reduce the burden on rural households, road construction is indispensable. If the road is only for military purposes, I will never build it easily. But if it comes to civilian use, even if I empty the treasury, I have to build it. This is about the foundation of my Great Shun Dynasty for thousands of generations, and I definitely don't mean to joke. ”
Su Song and Shen Kuo have both studied the economy, and when they heard Lu Chengqi's novel thoughts, they all thought silently in their hearts. Lu Chengqi's words seem ordinary, but they are thought-provoking. The two thought about it carefully and realized that what Lu Chengqi said was the truth. No matter what angle you stand on, the significance of building Chi Road is very significant. Strategic, economic, cultural, and so on, will all play a role in promoting.
Why was the Qin Dynasty recognized in such a short period of time? Because of the rapid spread of the Qin Dynasty and the rapid transmission of culture, many people were involuntarily affected.
It's a pity that Qin Shi Huang didn't care much about the people's power, which led to the collapse of the huge Qin Empire. But this does not deny the role of Chidao, and it can even be said that without Chidao, there would be no Qin Shi Huang to unify the six countries. What is the role of Chidao? The most intuitive thing is that Qin Shi Huang can effectively manage a huge empire without dividing the feuds. And often large-scale actions of hundreds of thousands of people at every turn! In ancient times, this seemed like a fantasy at all.
You don't see the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are obviously available soldiers, but there is no way to adjust, and you watch the displaced people and Tatars slowly eat away at the foundation, and finally this huge empire collapses. At that time, Chongzhen was not without available soldiers, but he could not be mobilized. It takes almost a year to transfer troops from Sichuan to Liaodong, and the collapse of the road can be imagined. Before the war, the army's salary, grain and grass will be consumed in vain for a year, and the Ming Empire, which is already in difficulty, can afford such an expensive cost of sending troops!
Lu Chengqi sighed, and then said: "But I can't be like Qin Shi Huang who doesn't cherish the people's power and forcibly conscripts hundreds of thousands of people at every turn. If you do that, you will be angry, and my backbone will be broken by the people. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and the matter of galloping is a long-term thing, not something that can be done in a day or two. What's more, some time ago, the cabinet promulgated a new horse policy, abolishing the horse herding supervision and horse breeding, and handed over to the private horse breeding. The new horse policy has not been effective, domestic horses are still scarce, and the gallop is also difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Besides, how to pave the gallop road, how wide the carriage is, and what the form is, have not yet been determined, and it is unrealistic to say that the road will be paved all over the country at this time. And I want to hand over the research of Chidao to you, I don't want the Royal Roads University I founded to disappoint me! ”
As soon as Lu Chengqi's words fell, Yang Daoqi said: "I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!" "After all, he is a person who has been an official, and if he is good at the top, he will vote for it, and Yang Daoqi is still very familiar with this aspect.
As the vice president of Royal Roads University, Yang Daoqi still attaches great importance to this job, and he has a bit of a big burden on his back, and he must make some achievements in order to wash away his stains on the political arena. And the matter of Chidao is in the arms of Yang Daoqi.
At this moment, the bell rang at the end of class, and Lu Chengqi encouraged these students again, telling them that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that people with hearts, the people of the Qin Dynasty can make gallops and carriages, and there is no reason why the craftsmen of Dashun can't do it!
Lu Chengqi once again handed over Shen Kuo, Su Song and Tang Xun to Yang Daoqi, and asked Yang Daoqi to urge them to rest on time, and also let them participate in the development of galloping roads and carriages, but they could not forget to sleep and eat. Fortunately, Yang Daoqi also eats and lives at Royal Roads University at this time, and the dormitory is enough, so he is not afraid of having no place to live.
After Lu Chengqi finished his instructions, he stopped being wordy, and surrounded by the inner servants and the imperial guards, he walked on the dragon chariot and went to Chang'an City. At this time, the people of Chang'an City were no longer surprised to travel with the emperor. After all, Lu Chengqi's exposure rate is too high, and almost every citizen in Chang'an City has seen his true face. This also made Lu Chengqi very depressed, and sometimes he couldn't even make a private visit to Weifu.
The next day, Lu Chengqi gave a lecture at Royal Roads University, and his discussion of the economy was once again put on the front page of the "Dashun Minbao". The desire for wealth is true in every age. If you can make your life a little better, why not make money? In the final analysis, farmers plough the fields to fill their stomachs, and businessmen go south and north, and they are also begging for a living. And wealth can make life better, and there are still many people who are involved in business.
Unconsciously, the concept of "road is financial and financial" has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people. Many wealthy gentry spontaneously rose up to build official roads, although they were still compacted with loess gravel, and they were dusty when they walked on the road, but they were much better than the original collapsed yellow mud road. In this way, a lot of money was saved in the treasury.
Because there is no Sui Dynasty in this different time and space, there is no Grand Canal that Lu Chengqi is familiar with. He also knows the significance of the existence of the Grand Canal, but now is not the time to build the Grand Canal, and it is difficult to repeat the mistakes of Yang Guang. Lu Chengqi already had a plan in his heart, one is the gallop, the second is the canal, and the third is the sea. Combined, the three form a transportation network to facilitate the circulation of goods and the economy.
Economic development comes at a huge cost, and this price is the money for building roads and canals. There is no way, wealth cannot come, and the economy cannot function. Lu Chengqi had long been determined that no matter how much it would cost to build the Chi Road or the Grand Canal, he would build it. It is the foundation of future generations, if he doesn't do it, who will do it? Who called him the emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty, these long-term things, he must be thoughtful.
Lu Chengqi, who came back from contemplation in the Vertical Arch Hall, sighed faintly: "It's not easy to be an emperor......
