Chapter 272: Talking about the Spice Island of the Great Voyage, the Golden Island
War brings labor and money, this concept has been held from ancient times to the present, and this understanding is deep-rooted!
Of course, if you really look at it according to the previous model, if the land outside the Central Plains is really just a bitter cold land, it is really like this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the generals to fight and pacify the Xiongnu and establish the power of the Han people for eternity, the harvest was not much, even the land could not be cultivated because of the human environment and would not get too many benefits!
It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of the world, fighting a war is really a waste of money and money, and it is just a waste of money and food, and there is no benefit except for bringing a little flashy reputation to oneself!
But is that really the case?
"The old master said that fighting a war is a waste of money and labor? That's a mistake! Chen Jincai shook his head and gave the most resolute denial to the old master's words.
The old master thought that his understanding of the war was already in place, so even in front of Chen Jincai, he had the courage to say something against it.
Because he feels that he is selfless in his heart, he can be frank: "Although Mr. Bai Niu can know five hundred years of things in front of him, he can understand the history of his predecessors and learn from the present."
The sentence that the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass has already said the root of the affairs in the army! Whichever time an army is sent, the grain and grass consumed is not the huge amount of people's fat and ointment of the people in the world.
At that time, it will not be that the population will skyrocket and there will not be enough food to eat, but that the war will greatly damage the vitality of the world!
Even if Mr. Bai Niu said that the disaster of the population, it is necessary to change, and it is better not to think about going to war! ”
This is the lingering type, and it is also in line with the psychology of most people.
Don't force it on your head, it's not that the matter is coming, so that people who have always been peaceful are not used to hearing these words of picking up a knife and grabbing it.
Especially for scholars, there is a good saying that a friend who dies is not a poor man.
Doesn't he say that the world destroys no one and no one is left, doesn't he say that some people are destroyed, and then some people are left?
Then these people are the elite of the scholars, they are all smart people, and smart people live a long life.
Therefore, even if we understand that if the population is large enough to a certain extent, it will definitely happen that some people will be eliminated.
But they will all have a kind of luck mentality, in case they eliminate people and there is no self in them, but if they go to war, more than 90% of them will die.
The big waves are sweeping the sands, and they are talking about war.
Especially a war that will only cost lives and no gains!
It's something that everyone will resist in their hearts.
This is also why the Song Dynasty will win more than 90% of the wars with the Tanguts, but once it is time to counterattack, they will lose?
In fact, most of them are based on this psychology.
This is also the reason why during the Southern Song Dynasty, people in the south of the Yangtze River were reluctant to go on the Northern Expedition.
It is afraid that after conquering the north, the wealth of the south will be transferred to fill the gap in the north.
So, basically, many people don't want to go to war because it's not good to fight!
As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and Chen Jin understood their thoughts.
It doesn't matter, he had expected this situation for a long time!
So he just sealed a lot of titles and a lot of places.
"Does the old master know how many titles I have just conferred?
Do you want to know where I sealed them up? ”
Knighthood, this is a long time ago!
Especially when Chen Jincai said this, people will feel that this kind of longevity has a little more meaning!
The Valley of Peace is not big, what does he give to others?
Take sand?
Many people want to laugh in their hearts, but they don't dare to laugh, so they have to hold back.
But some people are not afraid, it is still the old master just now: "Dare to ask Mr. Bai Niu, what do you take to divide others into seals, do you take the sand in the desert, or divide your peace valley?" ”
In fact, many people who have never been to the Valley of Peace despise Chen Jincai in their hearts, even if he is extremely strong, the lord of a domain.
Man is extremely strong, but the valley of peace built in the middle of the wild sand.
People who haven't been there don't feel like there's anything to be proud of.
Even if you hear that there are a lot of good things there, the stereotype is that a place that is not suitable for farming is not a good place.
They felt very funny about this inexplicable practice of dividing titles and land!
However, there were some people who couldn't laugh, and they thought that since there was no land to divide in the Valley of Peace.
So could it be that the land that Chen Jincai gave to others was within the Great Song Dynasty or the Great Liao, or the Western Xia, within these spheres of influence?
What kind of behavior is this? Does it mean that Chen Jin is going to make a move against the other three countries?
It was late at night, but under the light, with Chen Jincai's super eyesight, he could see the expressions and faces of everyone present.
He knew that if he didn't get some dry goods out, these short-sighted and short-sighted guys in front of him would not be able to burn the passion for going out to fight.
However, he didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do so, and he took a kind Chinese nation to another road.
What impact will it have on the world if a Chinese nation with the body and attack power of a dragon, but only with the gentle temperament of a cow, is restored to the hegemony that matches his attack power.
However, he did know that the Chinese nation was living in such a way with his previous temperament.
In the global environment of the future, there will be a big loss without an offensive war instinct.
He walked up to a map of the world: "This is the map of the world hundreds of years later, and the dynasty at that time was the Ming Dynasty.
This is the West, and there have been several great powers in the West, but their original territories were very small.
It was France that used to be powerful here, but then nothing happened to him! It wasn't until 600 years later that a powerful emperor named Napoleon got back on his feet.
Here we are talking about the Netherlands, Portugal, France, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
They used to be very weak, and for Huaxia, they were a weak chicken. ”
Then Chen Jin suddenly became excited, and he hung several world maps together.
"You see, this is the original Spain, such a small country.
This is Portugal, both countries are quite small and very small!
But three hundred years later, they have all surpassed the East to become the hegemon of the world.
Do you know how they became world hegemons?
I'll tell you more about the maritime history of Portugal and Spain.
But before I say that, I have to answer a question that the old master asked just now.
Where are the titles and fiefs of those people I have sealed, this is the key.
Because at that time, Portugal and Spain developed spice plundering in addition to gold plundering.
The place where they plundered spices was called Spice Island, and the island where they plundered gold was called Golden Island.
What I have just divided them is the Golden Island and the Spice Island, which are an important part of the economic pillar that Portugal and Spain have become the world's hegemon 300 years later. ”
He said these words lightly, as if he were merely recounting a fact.
However, his calm voice revealed a big secret.
The secret of one supporting two countries to become the hegemon of the world!
Spice Island? Golden Isle?
What amazing news that can support two countries and become one of the important pillars of world hegemony!
Such an important place was actually sealed out?
