"Husband, are you still worried about asking for money from Goguryeo?" Cheng Lin asked.

"Yes! The emperor is ruthless to threaten my husband, how can I not pay attention to it? Jingwen said.

Li Shimin even said that kind of cruel words, Jingwen really had to accept it. After all, if Li Shimin once put Jingwen in the boar pigsty, and then poured spring into Jingwen. Medicine, what will be the result of this kind of thing, this Jingwen is really unacceptable. Therefore, Jingwen could only take over this task, but Jingwen also had a headache and couldn't think of any way to raise money. After all, the conquest of Goguryeo could not have succeeded without an army of more than 100,000 people, and it also required firearms such as artillery shells and even missiles, and this amount of money was incomparably huge. So Jingwen really wanted to cry, this money didn't have more than 10 million yuan, I'm afraid I couldn't get it at all. If it is according to the normal accumulation, then Datang may not be able to accumulate this money for ten years. This is still available after blackmailing Tuyuhun and opening the Silk Road by himself.

Therefore, isn't it a little difficult for Jingwen to get the wealth that it takes ten years for Datang to accumulate at once? Even if you borrow money, I'm afraid it will be impossible for the imperial court to borrow this money!

"The emperor asked your husband to raise this money, isn't this difficult for a strong man? A war costs countless amounts of materials, and the people have to bear these corresponding burdens. The people contributed money and efforts, and they also had to go to the battlefield as soldiers and sacrifice countless people. But in the end, the people contributed money and efforts, but they only fed a group of officers, and only they could get promoted and make a fortune, and the people didn't get anything in the end! And the imperial court launched a war for some false name, which really hurt the people. Cheng Lin sighed and said.

"Yes! As soon as the cannon sounds, there are ten thousand taels of gold! Jingwen said with a sigh.

Of course, Jingwen knew that the cost of war was incomparably huge. In the wars of later generations, a shell cost tens of thousands of yuan. And a missile, even if it is a cruise missile, will cost at least hundreds of thousands, and it is still in US dollars. And ballistic ballistics, that is even more immeasurable, I am afraid that the vast majority of people earn money in a lifetime is not enough to spend a ballistic missile. And once a war breaks out, these things will be smashed in tons, and the cost of this can be imagined. So as soon as the cannon sounded, it was not a lie that there were ten thousand taels of gold. Even if it is ancient now, it cannot be compared with the future generations. But the cost is huge.

As for Cheng Lin, he is a woman after all and does not want war to break out. In ancient wars, the common people could not get much benefit, not only had to pay money and food, but also served as soldiers to fight, and then paid sacrifices but could not get anything, because military service was their obligation. And the ones who can really get the benefits are those officials and nobles and officers.

"The imperial court also wanted to avenge the millions of Chinese people who died in Goguryeo, so it was to crusade against Goguryeo. And Goguryeo is so arrogant, shouldn't they be destroyed? Jingwen asked.

But Cheng Lin said: "There is another war." And this war is probably to completely destroy Goguryeo, and there are not a few people who die in Goguryeo. Husband, you can still be forgiving and forgiving, and it can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue for the child we are preparing to be born! ”

"Lin'er. You can't think so! You should think that my husband and I raised military funds to help my Chinese children take revenge, and when the time comes, those Chinese children who die in Goguryeo will bless our children in the spirit of heaven! Jing Wenyi said rhetorically.

Cheng Lin felt that he couldn't talk nonsense about Jingwen, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "Okay, okay." Husband, let's not talk about this anymore. The most important problem now is that this money is also to be scavenged from the people, and the people will not get much benefit in the end. The ancients said. The country is big. Warlike will die. So if Datang keeps fighting like this, I'm afraid it won't be good at all. And the lessons of the former Sui, Datang should know. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goryeo, but the people were in great pain. The people did not get benefits at all, and the court was not enough to gain a false name for expanding the territory, and the people who got the benefits were those court officials and generals. Therefore, the people are still very miserable. Husband, when the time comes, will you go down and loot the people? ”

Jingwen was also helpless, because this time he was going to loot the people! In the past, Jingwen, as a small ordinary person, naturally hated government looting very much. But now that he has become an official, he wants to loot the people, which makes Jing Wen unbearable! Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, this sentence can also explain Jingwen's current mood. After all, Jingwen doesn't want to be raided, so is it okay to raid others? So Jingwen was very helpless, after all, this is the situation now.

In fact, the common people have always been opposed to war. Because war does not bring benefits to the people, but rather brings great costs. And the emperor wants war, either to unify the whole country, or to expand the territory to bring himself fame, so the emperor also likes war. And the generals like war, because they can only get promoted if they pass the guò war, and the military attache can only fight for power and profit with the civilian officials through the guò war. And the civilian government's opposition to the war is actually to suppress the rise of military attachés. On the whole, in fact, the side that gains from the war is the one who supports the war. And those who suffered losses because of the war naturally opposed the war. Unfortunately, the people did not get benefits, but had to pay unconditionally, which caused the people to oppose the war.

In order to defeat the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should have looted all the merchants of the country, so the merchants of the Han Wu Emperor were very poor. Once a war breaks out, the businessman will naturally lose money, not only can not make money but will lose money, who wants to do this! Therefore, many merchants are also against the war, unless they are arms dealers, or suppliers of military supplies.

"Well, if the people can benefit from the war, will the people support the war?" Jingwen asked.

Cheng Lin said with certainty: "If the war can benefit the people, then the people should support the war." But is this possible? Growing up, I had never heard of the benefits of war to the people. ”

"Haha, look at your husband's means of turning stones into gold!" Jingwen said immediately. (To be continued......)
