Chapter 223: The System of Getting Something for Nothing (1)

"Official, there are indeed many saline-alkali lands near the old Yellow River. It's also thanks to the early order of the official, and the poplar trees that have been planted are growing well? Gill salicin can start in about a year or two. ”

"Is it really that good?" Zhao Jiaren didn't believe it.

Hearing Zhao Guan's question, the director of the Forestry Department hurriedly replied: "Qiqi Guanjia, there is some rust and some dead trees."

"I'm not accusing you. It's not easy to study all kinds of pests and diseases, I know it. ”

"The official family, now there is a shortage of manpower. Our forestry department is very envious of the situation of large farms and wants to build forest farms. ”

"How is your management now?"

At a certain distance from Zhao Jiaren, Zhao Qian, as a secretary, listened carefully to the conversation between his father and the director of the Forestry Department of the Ministry of Agriculture□ and had many new feelings from it. By now, what his dad talked about the most was a management issue.

After talking for a while, Zhao Qian was not optimistic about the level of the Forestry Department. Then the conversation ended, and the new arrival was the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Official, after Zhao Mingren's death, the Wa Kingdom still didn't let Zhao Boren become the guardian of the Four Kingdoms."

"Did Zhao Boren inherit the position of commander of the Iyo Naval Army?"

"He has officially inherited. So far, the Iyo Navy has performed well. ”

"That's good."

"An urgent call came from Yuanguo's communication line. There are those in the Eastern European Division, and there are those in the Yuan Kingdom. Presumably, the news is that after the Holy See fled from Baghdad, it was not publicly recognized by other powers for the time being. After all, the new pope did not go through formalities in Rome, but in Baghdad at the discretion of the Holy See. So the Holy See ran to the Teutonic Knights, and the Teutonic Knights had already officially expressed their recognition of the Holy See. The Holy See was first stationed in Marienburg. Behind it, presumably, there was the support of the Holy Roman Empire. ”

"Do Germans want to lead religion?" Zhao Jiaren asked Lu Baifeng.

Hao Ren said that they had received news that □ knighthood had announced that the new Pope was dying. They have also told the Archbishop of Warsaw and several Polish dioceses to ask that the archbishops of these dioceses go to Marienburg to meet the new pope after the election of a new pope. ”

"Tsk!" Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but sigh. History has changed dramatically now, but the ambitions of the Teutonic knights to try to annex Poland and Lithuania have not changed in the slightest. If the Teutonian Knights were to protect the Pope, the lands conquered by the Teutonic Knights could easily become their territory. Unless Poland raises a flag of treason against the Holy See and openly accuses the new Pope of being a false pope and a blasphemous. But does this work?

"Official, shouldn't we also want to go to Europe?"

"There aren't that many immigrants available."

"Now Sinhala has become a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and you can levy Sinhalese native soldiers."

"The Sinhalese native soldiers are used to conquer Tianzhu, and if you really want to establish power in Europa, you must rely on our own people in the Great Song Dynasty. But who wants to go thousands of miles away to explore Europa? ”

"Then watch the Europa situation change so much? Official, because of the rebellion of the true gods, a lot of land in the valley of the two rivers is uncultivated, and now Mongolia has begun to have a famine∩ the ancient Great Khan Kublai Khan ordered Boyan in Egypt to transport all the grain to the Mediterranean port and Basra in the Persian Gulf, which is really going to be chaotic. ”

"Not really. Kublai Khan could solve the problem as long as he included the Central Asian steppes in his territory, and the vast land could last for a while. Zhao Jiaren objected.

"On the other side of Central Asia are the lands of the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate."

"The problem that Kublai Khan faced at the moment was not food, but that so many Mongols went to Kublai Khan's direct territory, and those Mongols had only learned herding, not farming, so there was a problem. This problem must be dealt with with an iron fist and cut through the mess with a quick knife. Kublai Khan's idea of wanting everything was sure to mess things up. ”

"How can our Great Song Dynasty take advantage of it?"

"I think the best way for the Great Song Dynasty to reap the benefits is to take advantage of the fact that no one pays attention to the Great Song Dynasty at this time, quickly recapture the homeland, and digest and absorb the land that has already been obtained. The other is to start conquering the central and southern parts of Tianzhu. Take back Burma. As long as the Great Song Dynasty does not interfere indiscriminately, Mongolia will only become more and more chaotic and weaker. ”

Zhao Qian doesn't have much concept of diplomacy, and he can't understand the term "father". After the meeting with the foreign minister, Zhao Qian took a small notebook and asked him about his father. Regarding the Mongolian issue, Zhao Qian asked puzzledly, "Dad, I also know that Mongolia will only get weaker and weaker if it is in chaos." But the Mongols are not stupid, don't they have intelligent people? What if the Mongols reformed themselves. ”

"Can you still recite the five beetles proficiently?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

Zhao Qian nodded hurriedly, of course he knew that his father liked the content of the five beetles and Xunzi, so he hurriedly read more and memorized more. After nodding, Zhao Qian praised from the bottom of his heart: "I've seen it." In the past, I only listened to those Confucian scholars, and only listened to those literati who did not work hard to curse Han Feizi, and thought that Han Feizi was how. After reading the five beetles, I can understand why my father held high the banner of the First Empire of the Qin and Han Dynasties for cultural innovation. ”

"Then which section of taro are you deeply interested in?"

"Recently, I heard my father talk about management, and I was very amazed by Han Fei's talk about using severe punishment to rectify social morality."

Zhao Jiaren smiled bitterly. Studying and working in the United States in the 21st century, smelling the supposedly sweet air of democracy, Zhao Jiaren has become a staunch supporter of the Strike Hard Campaign. He even thinks very inhumanely that from the perspective of biology and sociology, if one in 10,000 bear children and bear adults in society can be killed every ten years, the atmosphere and situation of this society will be greatly improved. As for why this is the case, Han Feizi has long made it clear in the five beetles.

Han Fei wrote: Now suppose there is such an immature son, and his parents are angry with him, and he does not repent; The villagers rebuked him, but he did nothing; The division commander taught him, and he did not change. took the love of his parents, the help of his neighbors, and the wisdom of his teachers at the same time, but he was never moved, and refused to change his ways. It was not until the local officials took weapons and carried out their official duties according to the law, and searched for the bad guys, that he became afraid, changed his old habits, and became prone to evil deeds. Therefore, the love of parents is not enough to educate their children well, and they must rely on the government to enforce strict criminal laws; This is because people are always pampered when they are loving, and they give in when they see power.

As far as Zhao Jiaren sees the system, as long as he shouts for equality, he will support the power of criminals without exception, and treat the basic needs of ordinary workers such as the rule of law and safety as nothing☆ What makes Zhao Jiaren disgusted is that those people oppose progress and the pursuit of progressive morality.

Of course, there are also some children from the Zhao family on the Internet who think that this is trying to cling to the upper echelons of lackeys, trying to fool Minzhi and serve their master. Because when the Zhao family is harmed, they can let the perpetrator be severely punished beyond the legal sentencing. And when the Zhao family and the children of the Zhao family commit crimes, the legal system that protects criminals can make it easy for those Zhao family members who commit crimes to get away with it.

Originally, they couldn't bear to tell their son about this issue, but the Zhao family still held back. He continued his previous train of thought, "It's not this paragraph, it's the penultimate paragraph, and it's all about Amway. Now for the attack, advance will die to the enemy, retreat will die to death"

Han Fei's meaning in this passage is that he has a management concept. He preached: "People are accustomed to seek comfort and self-interest, and avoid danger and poverty. If they are allowed to fight, they will be killed by the enemy if they advance, and they will be in danger if they retreat due to military law. How can the people not run away from the hardships of the family and the hardships of war, and when the monarch does not take care of the difficulties in the family, they are left in poverty, and poverty and danger are combined, and how can the people not run away? Therefore, they took refuge in the private aristocracy and sought exemption from military service, so that they could stay away from war, and they could be safe from war. Bribing those in power with money can achieve personal **, and once achieved, they will get real benefits. How can the people not pursue the good things of peace and profit? In this way, there are fewer people who contribute to the public and more people who are attached to private affairs.

Zhao Jiaren's initial introduction of the military service law was just a simple imitation. Since this military service system can play a huge role in the difficult environment of TG, it is better to copy it. After carefully reading the five beetles, Han Feizi more than 2,000 years ago said, "Give up your personal family business, bear the hardships of war, and if the monarch does not care about the difficulties in the family, you will be placed in poverty, poverty and danger are combined, how can the people not escape?" ’

This sentence has explained the intrinsic rationality of the TG Military Service Law very thoroughly.

Zhao Qian frowned and thought for a while, then asked tentatively, "Dad, do you mean that the problems encountered by Kublai Khan are also too many people who get it for nothing?" ”

"Hmph, that's right." Zhao Jiaren was very satisfied with his son's acumen. "So many herdsmen ran to Kublai Khan's direct territories, and they, as first-class Mongols, were obliged by the Mongol Great Khan to keep them from starvation. But these people are not able to work effectively. At that time, Kublai Khan set the capital to be the capital, and he relied on squeezing the Han people and looting south to solve this contradiction. At the moment Kublai Khan ran to Baghdad, and could not be opened in all directions. If these people had arrived in Baghdad for more than a decade or twenty, that would have been fine. These people suddenly arrived in Baghdad, and the shock was too great. ”

Zhao Qian suddenly realized, and he smiled: "So I immigrated to the Central Plains in large numbers in the Great Song Dynasty, which will only make the Great Song Dynasty stronger and stronger." The arrival of a large number of Mongols in Baghdad will only make Mongolia weaker and weaker. ”

"So it's not some smart guy to turn things around. The current situation is that the Mongolian system guarantees that you will get something for nothing, and even Kublai Khan is afraid that he will not be able to change this system. Zhao Jiaren's tone was full of sighs~ There are so many countries, just like this, they know that it is a dead end, and they still run all the way.
