"You guys go back first, Jun Xian stays!" Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin left Li Junxian behind, he wanted to know what Li Junxian thought. If you want to fight the Turks and completely destroy the Turks, then the price and financial resources paid by the Tang Dynasty are not small. What's more, the Tang Dynasty could not provide so much military spending. If you insist on fighting, then I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed. Now that he is in the stage of recuperation, he cannot maintain the war by raising taxes, so Li Shimin has a headache.

"Your Majesty, are you hesitating to start a full-scale war?" Li Junxian asked.

"Yes! If there is a full-scale war, Datang cannot afford it, especially the financial resources. If there are three longs and two shorts, then my Datang will be overturned. Li Shimin said.

Because the Tang Dynasty unified the world, the cohesion of the people is not strong now, so the sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty is not strong. If you want the people to have a sense of cohesion and belonging, it must be more than 10 years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even everything must go smoothly. Although the Tang Dynasty has been nominally founded for more than ten years, it has only been a few years since the real unification of the world, so the cohesion of the people is not strong is a fatal problem.

Once there is any problem in this expedition against the Turks, those careerists in the world will take the opportunity to start a rebellion, which is why Li Shimin did not dare to launch a full-scale war. But Li Shimin didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so now Li Shimin also has a headache.

"Jun Xian, can you help me come up with a way so that I can raise military expenses and stabilize the world?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Shimin's problem is too pitiful, not only does he want money to fight, but he can also maintain the well-being of the people in the world. Just look at Emperor Yang of Sui, he ruined the country left by Laozi in order to conquer Goguryeo. If it weren't for his three expeditions to Goryeo, I'm afraid that the Sui Dynasty would not have perished, but would have prospered, which was the result of Emperor Yang of Sui's abuse of people's power.

So. Li Shimin wants to have money, but this money cannot endanger the lives of the people, and this is the difficulty. Now the Tang Dynasty is absolutely not allowed to raise taxes, so it is impossible to obtain a large amount of money to sustain this all-out war.

Li Junxian is also thinking seriously to see if there is any way to solve it. However, Li Junxian is a descendant after all, and he immediately thought of an idea.

"Your Majesty, do you know why since ancient times, our wars in China have become poorer and poorer, and in the end there is even the danger of losing the country? Moreover, the common people did not support the war, and finally did not hesitate to rebel against the emperor for war. Li Junxian asked.

"Why? I really want to know. Li Shimin asked.

Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty." This one is very simple, because of the benefits. When the state goes to war, instead of bringing benefits to the people, it demands that the people pay to support the army. Moreover, these are all gratuitous, and even the emperor has to raise taxes, which is even more unbearable for the people. Because they did not gain any benefit if they won the war, and even more so if they lost, the people were against the war. ”

"Is there any benefit to war?" Li Shimin asked.

"If there is no benefit in war. So why did the Turks keep entering the customs to loot? Li Junxian asked rhetorically.

"This, they are robbers, we are civilized people, how can we rob?" Li Shimin also said.

Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty." War can actually bring a lot of benefits, but we Han people give up on ourselves because of those so-called virtues. Every war can actually bring a lot of benefits, as long as we put down our roots and loot. Then we can get a lot of benefits. When the time comes, we distribute these benefits to the people, and the people get the benefits. How could they be against the war? They will definitely support the war too late. ”

"Is it just to give benefits to the people for no reason?" Li Shimin asked.

"Of course not, the people also have to use their surplus money to support the war, and when the time comes, they will share the spoils of war. They are also investing in the war, investing their surplus money into it, and as long as the war is won, they can reap a lot of benefits. And when the people tasted the sweetness, they found that not only did the war not ruin their families, but they made themselves a lot of income, so they would support the war. Even, when the time comes, the people will crave war, hoping that war will bring many benefits. And the king can also use these wars to expand his territory, and the soldiers can be crowned wives and children because of the war. When the time comes, the whole country will be eager for war, and the whole world can be conquered. Li Junxian said.

Li Shimin was shocked, he didn't expect Li Junxian to say this. Li Shimin also thought that if it was the previous war model, the people would not only not be able to reap the benefits, but would have to sell their sons and daughters. If it is really according to what Li Junxian said, it will be a virtuous circle of war, and the people will support the war.

Moreover, those people who contributed money to support the war would also be completely tied together by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. For the sake of these interests, they will inevitably support the war, and even if they lose for a while, the people who paid for it will desperately support the emperor and will not leave him, because they want to get their capital back!

Li Junxian's method killed three birds with one stone, not only raised military funds for the war, but also tied the hearts of the people in the world, and even allowed the people to obtain benefits and promote economic development. This can be said to be a very rare thing, and it also greatly violates traditional Confucianism. However, Li Shimin is not a spokesman for Confucianism, and he is very supportive of this approach.

"Hahahaha, Jun Xian, you are really a genius! With this model, I am afraid that all the people in the world will support the war. When the time comes, there will be no place in the world that I can't conquer. Tens of millions of people have one heart, and the Tang Dynasty has been fixed for thousands of generations. Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian's method is actually a method that imitates the colonial wars of the Western powers in later generations. Let the people share the dividends of the war, so that the people can continue to support the expansion of the country.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to pay for the military expenses of the people of the world, and Chen is willing to issue war bonds." Li Junxian said.

"War bonds? Is it to borrow money from the people to fight wars? Li Shimin asked.

"So to speak." Li Junxian replied.

"Okay, that's up to you." Li Shimin said.

However, Li Junxian said; "Your Majesty, the minister hopes that there will be one condition."

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, Chen hopes to be able to share the war military expenses of 100,000 people to the special guards of his subordinates."

"You have more than 10,000 people, why do you need 100,000 military expenses?"

"Your Majesty, the special guard uses firearms, and the equipment is also expensive, so it needs a lot. However, the minister could guarantee to raise 500,000 yuan for the emperor to maintain the military expenses for a year's war. ”

"Okay, as long as you can raise 500,000 people to maintain the military expenses for a year's war, then I can give 100,000 military expenses to your special guard." (To be continued......)
