Chapter 300 Wealth can prosper a country, or it can destroy a country

Shi Bufan walked into the Tang Dynasty harem again and asked to see Li Shimin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis time he came to report to Li Shimin the news of making money from the Turks this time, especially the money from various wealth, which is the next greater benefit.

"What, you said that you got more than 100,000 yuan from the Turks this time, which is definitely half of my Datang's annual income. Moreover, the Datang Money Village Federation can actually earn 50,000 yuan a year, which is a rich country! Li Shimin gasped.

If you follow this algorithm, then Datang will increase its financial income by 100,000 yuan every year, which is really rich. Any organization's annual income suddenly increases by half, it is definitely a windfall, who is not red-eyed, not to mention that Li Shimin has no enmity with money, but likes money very much! With this money, the Tang Dynasty can recover almost quickly in the future, and there is no need to exploit the people more. Even with this additional 100,000 yuan of money per year, it can almost meet the needs of the army, and it is completely enough to launch two major battles. As for the extermination of the Turks, the next two years will be sufficient, and two years will be enough to spend on launching four major battles. If the Turks cannot be defeated in the four major battles, it is better to withdraw the troops peacefully as soon as possible and not continue to fight.

"Your Majesty, in fact, my Datang has obtained far more than these, my Datang has also obtained thousands of war horses, and even more things. This time, my Tang Dynasty almost sold all the old grain accumulated during the Sui Dynasty to the Turks at a high price, and Taifu Temple bought a lot of surplus grain from the people, which raised the price of grain, so that the people could benefit from it. Even if the people's income is higher, they can get a better life. Some people can choose to read to their children, but I can lower the requirements for reading and literacy through library strategies and pinyin annotations, and it will not be long before the people of Gyeonggi can give young children the opportunity to read. In less than ten years, there will be a large number of poor students in my Datang. ”

"When people's incomes are higher, their needs are naturally greater. Some people will choose to buy all kinds of furniture to build a better and stronger house, which can lead to the development of various timber industries. It will also increase the development income of people in related industries such as civil engineering, sand and gravel, and once again promote a group of people to meet their work needs after the increase in food production and production. In short, this series of drives is far more than just the effect of the money. He has driven the development of my Datang in all aspects, so that my Datang's cultivation plan for the next one or two years can be expected to achieve the effect in ten years. As the people consume more, the commercial tax will also increase, and some people want to think that a part of the wealth will flow back to our Datang treasury through business-related taxes. ”

"Then we can use this money to continue to build various water conservancy, roads and other basic civil engineering projects to meet the needs of the people and form a healthy development." In this way, my Datang is getting richer and richer, and it will not take ten years, and it may not be impossible to accumulate wealth in the past hundreds of years. ”

Li Shimin held this report, his hands trembled, because if it was really as planned by Shi Bufan, in just ten years, he would have obtained wealth that could not be accumulated in the past hundreds of years. In this way, Li Shimin will definitely be the first emperor of the ages, there is no doubt about this. When the time comes, if you force your father to abdicate, then no one will say anything about him, or even say that he did a good job. If it is really possible to achieve hundreds of years of accumulation within ten years, then even if Li Shimin calculates it in the past 20 years, will he be able to achieve thousands of years of wealth accumulation, so how rich!

Li Shimin took this report, and his heart was already starting the development of YY in the next 20 years. When the time comes, it will be enough for him to become the greatest emperor in the history of China, and there is no one.

"Great, great, the greatest luck in my life, that is, to get you!" Li Shimin said excitedly.

Shi Bufan knew that he had an iron-clad talisman, so as long as Li Shimin still wanted to become the "First Emperor of the Ages", then he would definitely be inseparable from Shi Bufan. Li Shimin will definitely give his life to protect Shi Bufan, who dares to go against Shi Bufan, that is to offend Li Shimin to death. To put it mildly, Li Shimin may rather lose Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui, and even if he loses the eldest grandson, the queen is not willing to lose Shi Bufan, because the great cause brought by Shi Bufan is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Li Shimin will definitely fight his life to protect Shi Bufan, this is Shi Bufan's biggest talisman.

"Well, since ancient times, no one has been able to use this wealth to the extreme. Such a small fortune can be used by God, and you have actually stripped so much wealth from the Turks. In the past, the people of my Central Plains never thought that they could strip so much wealth from here, and they didn't seem to have so many exploiting methods at all. Li Shimin praised.

Shi Bufan then took the loan agreement signed by those Turkic merchants and said, "Your Majesty, look at this agreement, these are all agreements signed by Turkic merchants, especially those signed by Bazhuo. This agreement represents their handles, and in order not to lose power, they have chosen to borrow from us, but these loans are all handles. In the future, if we go to the herdsmen of the Turkic tribes according to this agreement, they will definitely hate those people to death. Because they used scissors to exploit the herdsmen, and once they owed these debts in the future, they also became the slaves of our Datang. If they want to guarantee power, they must cooperate with me Datang and continue to repay the money. Once we show this agreement to the Turkic herdsmen, they will be killed by all the Turkic herders. In this way, they will cooperate very well with us to exploit the Turkic herdsmen, and we will let them go east, and they will definitely not dare to go west. ”

"It's spicy, it's too spicy. Even I hadn't thought of controlling their thoughts like this before, and this was probably more useful than any proton! Ruthless, if they don't pay back the money, then we can show this handle to their people, so that their tribesmen will overthrow him. In order to defend his rights, he had to choose to cooperate with me, and then exploit their own people through various means. This one is even more terrifying than protons. Li Shimin said.

Protons are a kind of hostage in ancient times, a king sends one of his sons to a foreign country as a hostage, and if he dares to move, then kill the son as a hostage. But in fact, this kind of proton is not used, protons are actually useless, for the sake of national interests, the monarch can sometimes even sacrifice himself, let alone a son. A monarch often has many sons, and the death of one is nothing. Sacrificing a few sons for the sake of a great cause is nothing.

So the proton thing is not very useful, but the arrears of Shi Bufan are definitely a more useful thing than protons. Once this arrears are signed, then they are tantamount to handing over the handle to Datang, and once Datang makes this agreement public, those Turks will be ruined. The leaders of the Turkic tribes would slaughter these people to make the tribal herdsmen angry. And these people are all people in power in the tribe, or they are also relatives or cronies of the tribal leader, once they seize the handle of these people, then they have to cooperate with Datang in order to keep their power and status and life.

"Your Majesty, in the future, it will mean that we have a lot of high-level cronies and spies in the Turks, even undercover agents. When we enter the Turks in the future, there may be many people who will lead the way, or even exert their influence one by one, to influence those people of various tribes to betray the Turkic Jieli Khan, and then turn around and cooperate with us. At that time, a large number of tribes would rebel against Jieli, and Jieli was really alone. A country that has rebelled and separated from its relatives will inevitably collapse with a slight push, this is certain. Shi Bufan said.

Li Shimin knew this effect, this Shi Bufan made a lot of traitors in the Tang Dynasty through economic means, they were caught by the Tang Dynasty, on the one hand, they will continue to help the Tang Dynasty to exploit those Turkic herdsmen, on the other hand, they will also help the Tang Dynasty become the wedge for the Tang Dynasty to break into their interior, they will continue to exert their influence, say good things for the Tang Dynasty, and then let Jieli be betrayed by the public. Such a method is extremely ruthless, this almost completely disintegrated the Turkic interior, completely torn apart, and finally died without a place to be buried.

Li Shimin gave an evaluation of this method: "I'm afraid that this method alone is more useful than 200,000 troops." With these people, it is equivalent to my Datang having 200,000 troops within the Turks, maybe when the time comes, we will directly push lightly, and this Turk will completely fall like a papier-mΓ’chΓ©. The Turks have been completely hollowed out by you, and they have become extremely fragile. I never thought that this money could completely empty out a country, and it would fall with such a light push. And if you do this, then I don't need to send many troops at all, just a small number of troops, which is much less than the hundreds of thousands of troops originally expected. Even, in this process, we Datang not only do not have to lose wealth, but will gain a lot of wealth. In the past, it cost money to fight wars, but you can get a lot of wealth without fighting, and the Turks are dead. Although you don't have a single soldier, you are more than hundreds of thousands of troops! ”

Li Shimin was really convinced by Shi Bufan's method of disintegrating his opponent through economic means, and he did a lot of things that could not be done with the army in this regard. If the traditional practice is followed, Li Shimin often has to dispatch at least 100,000 troops to have a chance of victory. However, Shi Bufan's method directly hollowed out the Turks and installed countless leading parties within the Turks. Those cronies of the Turkic tribes will become the undercover leading party of the Tang Dynasty, once the tribes have broken away from Jieli, the Turks will completely disintegrate, and the Tang Dynasty can destroy the Turks with almost no effort.

Shi Bu's financial management ability is really powerful, not only as a good prescription for governing the country, but also as a sharp blade to kill the enemy. The use of money has almost done something that cannot be done with the army, and the use of the army is a complete waste of money, but with this kind of economic means, not only can it not cost money, but it will earn back a lot of money, and such a means is simply terrible. Li Shimin really feels fortunate that Shi Bufan was born in Datang, if he was born in another country, then Datang is really going to perish. Li Shimin will not doubt this, if Li Shimin was born in another country, the demise of the Tang Dynasty is almost certain, because although Shi Bufan does not use military means, this political and economic means are enough to disintegrate many countries.

With such an economic means, you can turn a country into your colony without even war, and you can get a lot of wealth without direct looting. The wealth accumulated by the hard work of those countries will be directly exploited by economic means, and in the end, those people are working in vain, and finally let others through some economic distribution methods, so that they become slaves of the Tang Dynasty. Even this kind of exploitation is implicit, not explicit. The vast majority of the people at the bottom do not understand this truth, and the vast majority of ordinary people in other countries think that they are the ones who exploit them. Of course, this kind of exploitation is not directly felt, and it is not deeply stimulating for them, but it is fatal.

"Your Majesty, wealth can rejuvenate the country, and if it is used to rejuvenate the country, it is also a good thing. But it can also be used as a ******** to destroy the country, and the destruction of the country is not only the army, but also the destruction of the country when the wealth is used well. Sometimes, the use of people is not necessarily worse than the military, and even the military has much more to gain than the military. The army brings killing and hatred, and when the time comes, we use these means to trap foreign countries, and foreigners are sold by us, and maybe they will laugh and help us count the money! Shi Bufan told a joke.

"Hahahaha, okay, this method is good. Wealth can rejuvenate the country, but also destroy the country, wealth in your hands is not only a good way to rejuvenate the country, but also a sharp blade to destroy the country, the Turks met you, but they were unfortunate in their three lives! In the future, my Datang can no longer have troubles in the north! The northern border troubles that have lasted for thousands of years in China have finally ended in my hands, and of course they are also in your hands. If I can do this, I have not come to this world in vain in my life. When the times are extraordinary, we and other monarchs and ministers will join hands to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty together. Li Shimin said excitedly.

"It's my pleasure!" Shi Bufan's indifferent answer, obviously he didn't think this was difficult, but on the contrary, it was very simple. (To be continued.) )
